Chapter 308: Jiang Taigong fishing
Lu Heng, who was already very dissatisfied with the inn, was even more dissatisfied after seeing the food served.
I don't know if it's because he just gave enough money.
The meat here is honest.
It's as big as you want!
However, this thing is stewed, soft but tasteless, and when you look at it, you will lose your appetite.
In addition to a few large pots of meat, there are also some seasonal vegetables, which are also soup and water, not stir-fried.
The rice was served in a large wooden barrel.
Lu Heng wanted to speak and stopped.
As a result, Wang Xuance and the others looked at the food on that table, and their eyes were green!
They rubbed their hands together in anticipation, but said politely:
"Your Highness, don't you two move your chopsticks first?"
Lu Heng and Li Chengqian looked at each other, and finally shook their heads at the same time.
"We've both eaten, and we're not hungry."
"Eat first."
Order.
The room full of men holding the sea bowl began to sweep the clouds!
Lu Heng only felt that he was indeed in the barracks.
When he briefly stayed in the camp in the western suburbs for a while, he had seen with his own eyes how well this group of soldiers could eat.
Take a look at it now.
Even Wang Xuance and Zheng Yang, who were originally scholars, have been assimilated by that group of hundred horsemen.
It's so dazzling that it's called a fragrance!
When they finally had eaten and drunk enough, they were all paralyzed and touched their bellies.
Lu Heng sighed and asked about business.
"You're all full, aren't you? If you're full, tell me the details. ”
"How many people did Lu Dongzan bring into Chang'an City this time, and what did they mean by Zampu."
"Is there any follow-up personnel on the way in Tibet?"
"Did you negotiate the details of the deal with Lu Dongzan at that time?"
Wang Xuance was originally overwhelmed, and he was a little dizzy.
But when he heard Lu Heng ask about serious things, he couldn't help but sit up straight.
"That's right, at that time, Lu Dongzan had already promised us that he would send someone to Chang'an to trade after getting the permission of Tubo Zanpu."
"But depending on the situation, he should be riding a donkey and looking for a horse right now, to see if there is anything better to trade."
"Zheng Yang took a few people to secretly follow behind the Tubo mission, and found that they did not return to the whole team, but left some people down and stopped in a small town in Tuyuhun."
"Lu Dongzan himself stayed there and didn't go back, but only sent a messenger out."
Speaking of this, Wang Xuance paused.
Lu Heng asked:
"And then, they sent the messenger back, and when did they set off?"
Wang Xuance then explained:
"I estimated at the time that he should be ready to wait directly for Tubo Zampu to reply to the letter, and he didn't want to travel long distances again and again, so he immediately set off to Chang'an after receiving the letter, so we didn't continue to chase the messenger and stayed in Tuyuhun."
"Sure enough, it didn't take long for the messenger to return."
"After receiving the letter, Lu Dongzan left most of the envoys in Tuyuhun, and asked them to return directly to Luo with tribute in return."
"He himself drove lightly, took a dozen people and rode straight to Chang'an!"
"When we came back, we passed through Shanzhou and informed General Niu Jindaniu, who was stationed at the border, of the situation, and after he knew about it, he made a package ticket, saying that if there were any Tubo people entering the Tang Dynasty in the future, he would send 800 li to send an urgent message."
"It is estimated that there should be another official mission, otherwise they will not be able to transport large quantities of goods from Chang'an back to Tibet."
Looking at Lu Dongzan like this, as long as there is wine, he will definitely buy as much as he can.
And such a valuable cargo as Zhenguan ten years of spring must need a large number of people to escort, otherwise if it is robbed by horse bandits on the road, then Tubo will lose to grandma's house.
Naturally, it is impossible for Datang to send people to escort these drinks away.
At most, they will be transported to the border.
In this way, if Lu Dongzan wanted to transport the wine back to Tibet, he would inevitably need to shake people and call the army of Tibet to the border to send it back.
There is no more secure way than the military.
And if this army wanders on the border of the Tang Dynasty and does not notify the imperial court, Tubo will clearly declare war.
Therefore, from this point of view, no matter how Lu Dongzan moves his crooked thoughts now, he will definitely show his identity later.
As soon as Wang Xuance explained this, Lu Heng knew the cause and effect clearly.
He pondered.
Immediately, a smile bloomed on his face that made people feel a little cold when he saw it.
"Well, that's good!"
"Just what I want!"
Lu Heng touched his chin, and his stomach began to roll with bad water.
asked Wang Xuance to stop Lu Dongzan halfway, and it was Jiang Taigong who took the bait.
Now that the other party has bitten the bait......
Then just wait for the right time to close the net!
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask:
"Sunrise, can you tell me now, what are you going to do?"
"What do you need to do to make the Tibetan people willingly use the war horse as a bargaining chip in exchange for wine?"
When the people next to them heard that Lu Heng was originally planning to do this, they became excited!
Before, they were a little dissatisfied with their errand.
After all, he was born in a hundred knights, and he did something a little out of place.
But now it seems that ......
As long as they can get war horses from Tubo, it will be worth it to make them suffer no matter how much hardship they make!
You must know that since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or generation, raising a cavalry has to be smashed with money.
It takes at least a year and a half to train an elite cavalryman, and this is the premise that he has already been trained in the barracks.
It's like a sniper has to be fed with bullets.
During this year and a half, the cavalry not only needed nutritional supplements, but also had enough war horses to support their training.
Generally speaking, in the western side of Datang near the horse farm, the standard is one person and two horses, while in other places, because horses are too precious, they are either two people and three horses, or one person and one horse.
The scarcity of horses largely limited the development of cavalry.
And now, the horse master in front of him actually plans to come over from the Tubo war horse......
The war horses of Tibet are extraordinary!
The horses are of excellent breed and numerous, and they are heavily furned, so their cavalry is invincible!
Such a high-level war horse, if it can be purchased in large quantities into the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
Then you can't directly raise the border cavalry to a higher level?!
Thinking of this, the more people think about it, the more excited they become.
Wang Xuance's eyes were green:
"What are you going to do, colt?"
"If there is anything difficult in this kind of thing, you can just tell it."
"I will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths!"
Lu Heng smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to calm down first.
"You don't need to go to the soup."
"Just keep an eye on these Tubos."
"Clean up yourself these days, and in a few days, I'm afraid you will have to come forward and go to Huilu Dongzan again!"
