331. Hijacking
The so-called vest rangers were formed in Jingwen's momentary hot-headedness. And no one knew that this Einsatzgruppen would make many achievements in the future and become the most insidious, cunning, and shameless army in the Tang Empire. They put on the clothes of other countries, put on makeup and became people from other countries to perform many unsightly tasks, stirring up relations between countless countries, so that Datang could take the opportunity to reap the benefits of fishermen. And it wasn't until hundreds of years later that this vest ranger really came into the public eye, and everyone knew that there was such a unit with great achievements in history.
"Captain Zhu Tai, this time our emperor is confused, right? How did you send an envoy to talk to the Turks? Someone asked.
The captain of the Einsatzgruppen called Zhu Tai away, a man whose entire family had been tortured and killed alive by the Turks, and his hatred for the Turks was unquestionable. Previously, he was a company commander in another unit, and now he has been transferred to serve as the captain of this vest rangers.
"Hmph, who knows? We just need to carry out the task of the marshal, and that's it. In the court, who knows what kind of birdmen there are! Zhu Tai said.
And the vest rangers picked up the kind of grenade that could release smoke, and then waited at the road where the Tang envoys rushed to the Iron Mountain, and kept patrolling on horseback. This is a grassland, as far as the eye can see, and there are no fixed roads at all, so you have to be very careful, because if you are not careful, you will miss it.
"Captain, here they are! Three miles to the east! A probe said.
"Okay, let's go right away!" Zhu Tai said.
Soon, under the summoning of a firework, the people of the vest rangers gathered one after another, and the camp of Tang Jian and An Xiuren, the envoys of Tang Cao, rushed to it, so as to kidnap them.
In the camp of the Tang envoys, Tang Jian and An Xiuren rested here.
"General An, if we succeed in appeasing the Turks this time. So we've done a great job. The Turks are a major border problem in my Tang Dynasty, and as long as this border trouble is solved, it can be solved once and for all. This time, Jieli Khan wants to ask for a domestic annexation, so that we can directly and peacefully expand the territory of countless people, but the credit of our civil ministers! Tang Jian said.
Tang Jian said this for a reason. This peace talks with the Turks may still involve the civil and military disputes within the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty has just opened the country, the status of military generals is still very high, and it is difficult for civilian officials to speak on national military and political affairs. And those high-level civil officials, there are few simple civil officials. At least it's all about the military. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both served as Li Shimin's military staff officers, and the vast majority of Wenchen were related to the military. Therefore, the military also has a strong ability to meddle in government affairs. This is a question of the overall situation, and it is not so easy for civilian officials to regain influence from military generals. Originally, if you want to regain your influence next, it's very simple, that is, to go on directly, because the next step will be transformed into civil governance, so the influence of civil officials will slowly come back. The influence of military attachés on the country will also gradually weaken, so the key is to rely on boiling.
However, some people are not willing to be lonely, that is, they take the initiative to make a great contribution, so that they hope to be able to regain influence directly from the hands of military generals. And for now. If they can appease the Turks, then I am afraid that the civilian officials will be able to have a great contribution, so that they can directly criticize the uselessness of the military generals and propose what kind of army is inferior to the civilian officials. So. I am afraid that this peace talks have already involved a civil and military dispute, and I am afraid that it is enough to cause headaches. Civilian officials and military generals are inherently contradictory. Interdependent and mutually struggling. And in this, there is also the idea that the king is sowing discord and maintaining balance. However, in general, it is easier for civilian officials to take power, because the period of peace in the world is much greater than the period of chaos in the world.
An Xiuren is a military general of the imperial court, and he is still the general of Zuowu Houwei, and he is not very enthusiastic about this kind of peace talks. But since he was sent, there was no good way but to obey orders. But he was also worried that this time the Turks would not be trustworthy, so what should he do, and when the time comes, won't the blood of his soldiers on the battlefield be shed in vain? Although An Xiuren is not a Han Chinese, he is a person with the surname Zhaowu Jiu in the Western Regions, but now he has joined the Tang Dynasty, so he regards himself as a general of the Tang Dynasty. Datang's current charisma is very strong, and it can make many Hu people take the initiative to integrate in, which is the real national integration, not the original national integration boasted by slaughtering the Han people.
"General An, what's there?" Tang Jian pointed to the fireworks in the sky.
At present, the Tang Dynasty did not invent fireworks, at most there were some firecrackers. But so, at a distance, Tang Jian knew that it was fireworks. The fireworks are only used by Jingwen for Yuan Hua to gather the army, and they have not been able to circulate, so too few people know about it. Tang Jian didn't know what this firework meant, so he was looking at this firework with relish.
"Stampede......
There was a sound of horses' hooves, as if a group of cavalry was galloping over, but the Tang envoys were a little surprised that there would be a group of cavalry here.
"Who are you?" Tang Jian asked.
And the cavalry of the Vest Rangers surrounded them, apparently with some ill intentions. And Tang Jian was a little nervous, he didn't know what these cavalrymen wanted to do. And An Xiuren next to him is a military general after all, so he can calm down. However, at this time, they are also at a disadvantage. This envoy group is only a few dozen people, so it is not an opponent of more than a hundred people. The reason why they didn't bring so many people was because they were going to the Turkic place, which was similar to Jingwen at that time, because if they went to other people's territory, if the enemy wanted to do it, it would be useless to bring more people. Therefore, the number of guards in the legation is generally not large.
Although Tang Jian questioned the other party loudly, none of the soldiers of the Vest Rangers in animal skin clothes answered, obviously looking at them coldly. And Tang Jian saw that these people didn't mean to speak, and immediately thought that they were Turks.
"Strange, this is the control area of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be Turks? Is this how General Li Jing's troops were led? An Xiuren muttered in his heart.
And at this time, Zhu Tai replied: "Want to make peace with our great Turks? Do you deserve it too? There are only Turks who died in battle, and there are no Turks who surrendered! ”
"What do you want to do?" Tang Jian said angrily. (To be continued......)
