Chapter 213: His identity is a mystery
The sound of horses' hooves galloping came from the dirt road of the main street of the city, and the sensitive nerves of everyone upstairs were touched, and the chopsticks stretched into the basin stagnated, and then Li Siye and the other three continued to clamp the meat as if nothing happened, but Ren Chengsi couldn't help but get up from the table and stood at the window to look out.
Three heralds carrying the Chenqi on their backs rode into the streets, parted ways at the intersection, one went to the city envoy's mansion, one went to the Zhichong mansion, and one shouted the order next to the post station:
"The west section of the moraine makes the cover have an order! Recently, there have been envoys of the Raiders crossing the border, and all military towns, cities, post stations, and post houses along the way need to be released to respond, provide food and forage, and open the door to convenience! Make no mistake! ”
Ren Chengji left from the window, sat back in his seat and said loudly:
"The Turgish Emissary is coming? Dare to hug your thighs again, what kind of khan to beg forge, Dudu! If you want me to say that the saints are too lenient to these Hulu, some people have sealed the state and are still jumping, and the three nobles surnamed in this turquoise horse should be killed cleanly, and the head of Chang'an will be passed on, and these Western Regions Xiaoxiao can be completely obedient. ”
Several lieutenants naturally scoffed, they, petty officers, just take care of the things under their noses, why bother to the hearts of saints.
"I don't have to worry about any big battles, this envoy has been sent, so I want to be stable for a while."
"I don't think so." Li Siye clasped his hands to his chest and said: "This Turk is not here to ask for a title, but to ask for help. ”
As soon as he spoke, several people turned their eyes over, and Ren Chengsi asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
He coughed after looking around at everyone, sat up straight, broke his left hand and pointed his right finger and said, "A few days ago, there was an urgent report at the border that Sulu was killed by his subordinates, and you all know about it. If you notify the messenger to be sent today, you must be in a hurry. As far as I know, the Tuqi Shi has long been divided into two surnames, black and yellow, and Sulu was killed because of the dispute between the two surnames. ”
A few people were even more confused, and Zhao Yuanwei asked in surprise: "Who are these black and yellow surnames, I only know that there is Sulu Khan in Tuqishi, and there are generals Mohe Ganda and Dumo Zhi under the Khan's account." ”
Li Siye thought to himself, it turned out that the information sharing of the Tang Army was limited to the top level, and these grassroots officers only knew about it but did not know why.
"That's right, He Moganda is the representative of the Huang family's forces, supporting the son of Suo Ge as the khan, Dumo Branch's power fell through, and he switched to the black surname, and supported the son of Sulu Gu Si to become the fire-spitting immortal khan, so both sides have to come to the capital to ask for help to reverse the current stalemate. That's all I know. ”
Ren Chengsi and several other captains looked at each other, Han Zhang arched his hands, and asked with a bit of admiration in his eyes: "Brother Heiye before, did you serve as a guard and capture envoy in Bodalington City?" ”
"No," Li Siye shook his head directly: "I was only a guard in the ancient city of Pantuo in the Green Ridge before, and I have never been to the border north of the city. ”
"Then why do you know so much about the inside of the Tuqi Shihan Kingdom?" Han Zhang asked shamelessly.
Li Siye was very comfortable in his heart, he tugged at the short beard on his chin and thought about it for a while, and then he had a plan in his heart, and he put his hands on his knees and said: "When I sat in the green ridge as a guard and capture, I liked to entertain merchants who came and went. ”
After listening to this, the four of them showed a look of self-admiration on their faces, and it seemed that they were convinced of Li Siye's words. They didn't say anything more flattering, but solemnly bowed their hands to Li Siye: "I've been taught." ”
Li Siye nodded calmly, knowing that they were really admiring him now, and they were just panting just now.
This Han Zhang became more and more interested, and asked Li Siye again: "Then according to Brother Li's view, how will the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate deal with it?"
This was to the point, and Li Siye immediately made a slight arrangement according to the memory of the unknown prophet in his mind: "Of course, it is to support one and destroy the other." No matter which side of the two surnames of Black and Yellow goes to the Metropolitan Protectorate for help, Gai Zhongcheng will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service. I estimate that both families will go to ask for help, but since the Khan surnamed Hei is the son of Sulu, and the Khan surnamed Huang is the son of Suge, Gai Zhongcheng, who has had several vicious battles with Sulu, will naturally dislike the black surname and support the Huang surname. Of course, these need to be decided by the imperial court, so I estimate that by the time I go out to conquer the Turquoise and take Broken Leaf Town, it will already be after June next year. ”
These people can guess that it is now nearly October, the weather in the west has begun to turn cold, and the envoys of the Tuqi Shi have not yet arrived, so they will inform the Anxi Protectorate, and then report to the imperial court, and then wait for the imperial court to send down the will, and then mobilize the army to support the logistics team, and then notify Shi Guo, Shi Guo, Bahanna and other auxiliary troops, and finally choose the auspicious day of the zodiac to go out to fight with the Huang surnamed Khanhui, the process of which does take half a year.
At this time, the wine banquet was already a mess, the two jars of grape wine had been drunk, and the mutton in the basin was only left with the residual soup at the bottom of the basin.
Li Siye wiped his mouth and stood up, and said to several captains: "Thank you for the hospitality of the captains today, Siye is not strong enough to drink, and when he is free in the day, I will personally make the east, and I am still in this orchid wine shop, please drink." ”
After saying that, he had turned around and went downstairs under the stunned gaze of everyone, and his footsteps made a sound on the wooden staircase.
The lieutenants' retinue all gathered for dinner in front of the four plans on the first floor, and it was the same pot of mutton, the same amount, but the wine was inferior, and it was a cheap local brewed syrup.
I saw Tian Zhen lying on the table, hugging the shoulders of another officer, and sitting next to Fujimu, speaking to the people who were listening with wide eyes and ears all over the table: "Let me tell you, before Yan Xiaosi entered, he was very crazy, and he didn't snort when he said anything about two hundred military sticks, and the result!" It's been less than four or five days since I was locked in, and I'm already crying my father and calling my mother......"
It turned out that the two of them were also bragging below, and Li Siye waved to the two helplessly: "Don't talk, let's go." ”
Ren Chengsi and the other four stood at the window of the wine shop and looked down, watching Li Siye lead the horse away.
Zhao Yuanwei crossed his hands on his hips, held his stomach and asked the three people next to him: "Three captains, what do you think of this person?" ”
Ren Chengji tugged at his beard and said, "The ability is higher than me, and the level is higher than me, that's all." ”
Han Zhang rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously: "Of course it's taller than you, even a fool can see it." Yuan Wei asked him how he was a person. ”
Yuan Tang said: "This Li Siye is too utilitarian and difficult to get along with. ”
Ren Chengsi immediately sarcastically said to Yuan Tang: "Aren't you talking about yourself?" Treat others with yourself, or not! ”
Zhao Yuanwei said calmly: "I think that his understanding of the Turgish Khanate was not obtained from the merchants. Think about it, the ancient silk road is divided into two in the Western Regions, one passes through the green mountains and goes south to Tianzhu, and the other passes from the Bodaling to the broken leaves, passes through the stone country and Kangju, and enters Persia to enter the big food. The people on these two trade routes usually go their own way, and they will not easily change the trade route, and the so-called merchant information is nothing but nonsense. ”
"What do you think? Where did you get this news about Li Siye? Ren Chengji asked curiously.
"From the Turgish, of course! He must have raised a few spies to enter the Turgish as a caravan to investigate, and the so-called unpredictable prophet's ability came from this. So his identity is not just a captain of the Eighth Regiment. Think about it, Zhao Lushui removed the salary of the Eighth Regiment for four months, which added up to one million dollars, where did he get so much money? Even if his family is rich, if you want to change it, are you willing to pay the army of the imperial court with nearly one million dollars? There is so much money, and there is a little bit of money up and down Chang'an, not to mention the Shule town envoy of the fourth grade, and the city envoy of the fifth grade can always be easily become, why come to such a reorganized group of 300 people who have a grudge against the imperial court? ”
Yuan Tang and Han Zhang suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "He is a cronie brought by Gai Jiayun from the Beiting Department?" ”
