Chapter 211: Hui Hui
A few days later, the reconnaissance team of the Tang army on Li Wei's side found a caravan camp in Tibet. The route of the www.biquge.info caravan is not far from their sweet water ditch, and it seems that there are a lot of things to escort, and it looks very oily.
But there were also many people guarding the caravan, and the infantry and cavalry together could have nearly five hundred people. It will be difficult for them to eat this number of Li Wei, because in the entire Tianshuigou, there are still more than 300 cavalry and more than 200 infantry. Some of these people must also be left behind, and the remaining numbers are no longer dominant.
Li Wei thought about it for a moment, and then asked a lieutenant general next to him. This general's name is Liu Gui, and he has a fierce face. There is a huge scar on the face, from under the eyes to the corners of the mouth, and a few girls in Yanhanshui feel uncomfortable when they see this kind of person.
"I think we can contact the Uighurs (changed to Uighurs around 780), after all, we are not the only ones who are hostile to Tibet." Liu Gui replied.
Li Wei pondered for a while: "Okay, I remember that you know the location of the Hui tribe, bring a few people, and we will go to see the situation in a while." Hmph, Hui Hui's appetite will not be small, although our Datang is temporarily weak, but we can't fall into our own prestige. ”
"Blood can be seen when necessary, and ten years ago we let those wobbly crumbs taste pain, and we can do it now." Liu Gui smiled cruelly, as if he was reminiscing about the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
This group of generals was born just in time for the Tang Dynasty to go from victory to decline. Their families are all in the Western Regions all the year round, and their parents have basically experienced the most glorious time of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in their hearts, they all have the self-confidence of the Heavenly Empire. Although the Anshi Rebellion hurt Datang's vitality, everyone believed that Datang would definitely be able to return to the competition for the Western Regions again.
Therefore, even if the Anxi Protectorate was cut off for thirty years, it still did not bow its head to any force and beg for mercy.
"I'm going to check it out too...... It would be nice if we could market each other. Yan Hanshui thought about it, and now on their side, because of the recent battle, they have also gained some money. Livestock are very scarce in Tianshuigou, so Yan Hanshui wants to go and see it. After all, the Hui are nomads, and there should be a lot of cattle and sheep.
Li Wei nodded, so the main members were the three of them. Li Wei, Liu Gui and Yan Hanshui took more than a hundred cavalry and went to the temporary residence of the Hui. That place is three or four days away from this sweet water ditch.
The road was fairly safe, except for the bodies that were often found nearby. Coupled with the scout's report, he avoided most of the dangers, and even robbed a sand mound team of only more than fifty people. Those fifty people were just very small sand bandits, so only two of Li Wei's men were wounded by arrows and did not die.
Yan Hanshui looked at the sand lump man who had been stripped naked and all the valuable things were taken away, and discarded on the side of the road. I can only sigh, it's really clean. Three days later, Liu Gui brought the news. The Uighurs have not yet left the area.
It's not the first time Hui has dealt with Datang, although he is a little greedy, he still supports Datang. Because the Tang Dynasty is a civilized person, and Tubo is too barbaric. In the next hundred years, Hui also supported the Guiyi Army and helped the Tang Dynasty increase its influence in the Longyou region.
So they were quite polite to invite Li Wei and these people in, it seems that many years ago, they had a lot of dealings. A man of some age, but still quite strong, greeted him. "It turned out to be a friend of Datang, Li Wei...... We haven't seen each other for ten years. The man smiled slightly, thinking about all the bits and pieces of decoration on his body.
Li Wei walked over and hugged the man: "Great wizard, your body is still so strong." "That's right, Great Wizard, there are many people in Hui who believe in shamanism, so for some elders in the tribe, they can be called shamans.
It's quite interesting to think about, shamanic wizards in the north, and Yongzhong Bon mages in the south, of course, Yan Hanshui doesn't know these things now.
The group came to a large camp tent, and soon melons and fruits were put on the table. In front of Yan Hanshui, lamb was roasted in a stove, which made Yan Hanshui swallow his saliva. "This thing is really good, it's much better than eating earth cakes and beans every day in Sweet Water Valley." Yan Hanshui couldn't help but think that the nomads seemed to be quite good in terms of diet.
Li Wei explained the intention, and the great wizard seemed to be very familiar with the Tang people, so he acted as a translator to tell his subordinates the meaning of these people. A group of people began to discuss with each other, of course...... The meal still has to be eaten, and Yan Hanshui can't wait for a long time.
After discussing for a while, the great wizard said to Li Wei and the others: "Now that Tibet is strong, we are ready to move north. So it's okay to grab a deal before that. But...... How many soldiers can you produce now? ”
"Two hundred cavalry, one hundred infantry!" Li Wei thought for a while and said.
The Great Wizard nodded: "Isn't there any news from the Central Plains all these years?" How long can you people who are lonely on the outside be able to hold on? If it had been ten years ago, I am afraid you would have been able to bring out an army of 1,000 men...... If we participate, we will end up taking the eight layers of loot. ”
Li Wei frowned: "You guys are too greedy...... Hum! Our Datang will definitely come back, Longyou is an important place for my Datang and the Western Regions, and it has not changed hands several times. If you don't kill it again, our Datang and you have a friendship for almost a hundred years. And this information is still obtained by us, and the majority of it should belong to us. ”
The Grand Wizard smiled, "We can dispatch eight hundred wolf cubs, and you are only three hundred in total. Although you are right, maybe Datang can control this place again. But what about now? If we want to move north, we will also need a lot of material. Otherwise, people will starve to death this winter. ”
Yan Hanshui suddenly said to Li Wei: "General, can you let me say a few words." Li Wei nodded, and then stopped talking.
Yan Hanshui hugged his fist at the Great Wizard: "Master Wizard, do you think you can do this." ”
Before Yan Hanshui's next sentence came out, a small head on the side jumped out: "When will it be your turn to speak in the Tang Dynasty?" ”
He looked at the battle suit of Yan Hanshui and smiled: "Could it be that half of your current soldiers are women?" If that's the case, what else to mention to divide the materials equally and give you two layers of loot is already based on the previous friendship. ”
Yan Hanshui looked at the little head who was Hui Hui, and then chuckled: "In our Datang, subordinates need to ask their superiors for instructions when they speak. It seems that you are still freer, and you don't need to look at the wizard's face. ”
"You!" The man was not stupid, so he naturally immediately admitted his mistake to the wizard. And said that those Tang Dynasty soldiers were treacherous and shirked their own recklessness. Of course, it was the wizard who was curious, because he found that the woman could actually speak the Hui language.
He coughed: "Guard Zuo is right, what are you women doing here?" ”
Yan Hanshui saluted the Great Wizard again: "I am here to hope that the two sides will exchange trade, and exchange my surplus things for some needed items." Now it seems that you are about to move north, and there must be something that is inconvenient for you to take with you. So...... There is still room for cooperation. ”
