235 Captivity
Gu Yue smiled, "You will treat the last general as a nephew, isn't it the same!" ”
Changxinghou nodded, "That's right!" But he sighed secretly in his heart, it would be good for his own children and nephews to be so good.
Seeing that Changxinghou drank a jar, Gu Yue hurried to open the second altar.
"This wine, shipped from afar, must not be cheap! Just two jars, save it for another day and drink it another day! "Changxinghou was a little reluctant.
Gu Yue really didn't touch the jar of wine anymore, but sighed and said, "I heard that the envoy from Hui is about to arrive in the capital." ”
As soon as he said this, Changxinghou's face was a little bad, the news that Emperor Changsheng asked Wang Linzhi to make peace with his relatives was almost the same as Gu Yue's, thinking that Wang Linzhi had also saved Emperor Changsheng's life, but he was treated like this by the emperor, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
What's more, this black cauldron is still carried by his eldest daughter.
The emperor was not bad in the early years, but now it is becoming more and more ridiculous, such as dancing the sacrificial dance, the dignified crown princess did not take the turn, but let one of the side rooms of the seventh prince go.
But he didn't want to complain to Gu Yue about these things.
"A good boy is on the battlefield, what do you do in the capital!" Changxinghou said, without waiting for Gu Yue to help, he slapped open the mud seal on another jar of wine and took a sip of it.
Gu Yue looked angry, "If you think about it, what kind of thing is it, you dare to think about my princess of Da Zhou!" ”
Changxinghou agrees with this, he has always been the main battle faction, and he is not convinced, where do you need a woman to go and kiss!
But he, the marquis, can't be like Gu Yue, and he is full of complaints. He was depressed, so he could only drink to kill his sorrows.
Although Changxinghou loves wine, he is not good at drinking, if it weren't for this old wine, he wouldn't have drunk so quickly.
"When I was in Taizong in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I was the envoy of all countries to come to the court, when the first prosperous era of the four seas, why do you need to rely on a woman to stop fighting? Why don't you give me some people, let me pretend to be a merchant, infiltrate the Hui Dynasty, arrest the newly appointed Khan, and force him to sign a peace treaty that will never offend my Great Zhou?"
If it was usual, Changxing Hou would definitely reprimand Gu Yue, but now that the wine is up, he feels that what Gu Yue is saying now is very pleasant, "This is a good idea!" If Ben Hou is not the main general, Ben Hou will go by himself! ”
Gu Yue climbed up with a stick, "Then Hou Ye will order a dozen brothers, let the last general take it and set off!" ”
Changxinghou laughed, "More than a dozen? Will it be too little? ”
Gu Yue: "A lot of people is easy to attract the attention of others. Fewer people are not so noticeable in caravans. ”
Changxinghou nodded, "Then you should be careful, if it doesn't work, find a way to come back quickly." "Now is the time for peace talks between the two countries, and it is safer than usual to enter the Hui.
"Don't worry, Master Hou, if they dare to make a move, we just start a war, and this matter of harmony will be yellow!" Gu Yue's face was relaxed.
Changxing Hou thought so, and directly asked Gu Yue to pick people by himself.
Gu Yue was not very old, but he had also stayed in the army for several years, and he quickly picked out some Hu people from the army and brought them to the Marquis of Changxing.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is rich and strong, from the time of Taizong, it began to accept the envoys of all countries to the court, the envoy called the Great Zhou Emperor "Heavenly Khan", the army of the Great Zhou not only has a large number of cavalry, that is, the infantry is also riding to the battlefield, equipped with weapons are also very powerful, each soldier is not only equipped with armor, but also has a cowhide shield, bow, crossbow, knife, arrow, some weapons usually need to take several years or longer to make. The selection of soldiers is also relatively strict, and it is not a good family that cannot enter the army.
The Hu people usually took the pride of being able to enter the army of the Great Zhou and were recognized by the high-ranking generals of the Great Zhou and the Heavenly Khan, and their loyalty was no less than that of the natives.
The people selected by Gu Yue are all people he has usually inspected and have a good relationship with him.
"Wait for Gu Erlang to go out of the customs once and do some business to make up for the brothers." Changxing Hou confessed.
Several of the soldiers nodded in understanding.
Although the salary of the Great Zhou army is not bad, but after layers of exploitation, there will always be less in the hands of Changxing Hou, and he will quietly order people to sell some things out to improve everyone's food.
Those who can access these are generally cronies, and those who are picked are very happy.
Gu Yue took them to Hu San, asked him to help buy a few hundred catties of tea and some fabrics, and set off with the caravan out of the customs.
The soldiers guarding the pass tacitly released the people out of the pass, and even the caravan that followed them took half of the tax less than before.
With money to pave the way, the people in the caravan have become extra friendly, and I wish I could do business with them next time.
It was only nearly ten days from the Yumen Pass to the Hui Hui, and it was soon there.
Their stuff was quickly snapped up.
Gu Yue is a person who can play, and he looks outstanding, with a faint smile when he meets people, it is very easy to get the favor of others, and he soon had a hot fight with the Hui Ministry, and soon met the Khan of the Hui Hui.
His name is Fu Di Qiang, he is in his early twenties, tall and rugged, and he has been married to several Yan clans, when Gu Yue heard from his companions that the Yan clan is the Khan Empress, his face was not good-looking, and he wanted to kill him at that time.
However, he knew very well in his heart that if he killed this person, another khan would immediately emerge from Huifu.
Therefore, on a dark and windy night in the moon, he directly touched into the tent lying on the ground unconsciously, stunned people with drugs, put them in cloth bags, and put them together with leather blankets and the like, and rushed hundreds of miles in the middle of the night.
By the time he woke up, it was already the third night.
Gu Yue opened the cloth bag, only untied the rope in his hand, and threw him a sheepskin water bag, "I heard that Lord Khan wants to marry my princess of Da Zhou?" ”
He nodded unknowingly.
"The girls of the princely family that the emperor of the Great Zhou chooses every year have given them the title of princess."
He thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter, it's enough to have that name." ”
Gu Yue immediately understood that the newly appointed khan actually wanted to get the support of the Great Zhou Tian Khan through marriage.
There was often a turbulent tide between the various tribes of the Hu people, and without the support of the Great Zhou Khan, they could easily be swallowed up by other tribes, or even wiped out.
"But this princess is my savior, and I don't want her to marry you."
Although he was tied, he did not lose his momentum, "Do you want to disobey the holy decree of your Heavenly Khan?" ”
Gu Yue smiled faintly, "I just don't want to violate the holy decree, so I came to talk to the Khan about this matter." ”
He looked at him scrutinizing him for a while, and frowned: "That Khan will definitely offend your Heavenly Khan, if other tribes fall into the well again, it will be very dangerous for us to return." ”
Gu Yue smiled, "Your country's mission is still in Chang'an, the Khan can enter Beijing together and personally choose the girl he likes, as long as you don't choose the daughter of Princess Qingyang, the county lord of Langya, I won't interfere in other matters." ”
He was silent and pondered what to do.
"I can bring twelve people to Hui and bring the Khan directly to Dazhou, then I can also create soft shields for you and other tribes, so that they can directly annex you. But if you promise not to marry my princess of Da Zhou, we can discuss other ways to protect your tribesmen. Gu Yue said half-threateningly.
