The three tribes of Shatuo, Sage, and Anqing are actually all Shatuo people, who moved into the Tang Dynasty during the Daizong Dynasty, and have been active between Guannei Road and Hedong Road, and are also distributed in the Hetao area.

From two years ago to July this year, Li Guochang's father and son's Shatuo soldiers caused trouble in Hedong, and they also participated in it.

After Li Keyong was defeated and fled by Li Keju and Helian Duo, they chose to surrender to Helian Duo, who had become the defense envoy of the Datong Army.

Helian Duo was afraid that these people would be dishonest when they returned to the two roads, so they moved their whole clan into Yanmen Pass to facilitate the jurisdiction of the Datong army.

However, after nearly two years of fighting with Li Guochang's father and son, the Datong army suffered serious losses in its troops, and it has not recovered, so that the management of these Shatuo people has been relaxed, so that the three clans such as Zhai Ji, the head of Shatuoqu, have become more and more arrogant, and only on the surface they have expressed their submission to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they still go their own way, and Daizhou will continue to provoke right and wrong.

At this time, in the hall of the inner courtyard of the palace of Jiangzhou Thorn History, it was singing and dancing, the table was full of delicious wine, Zhai Ji and the other two clans were changing cups, each holding a singer and dancer in their arms.

"Big brother, it is rumored that the young Shouwang hero is very good, a pair of copper hammers to deter thousands of generals in Huangchao, let's not go to the city to greet it... Oh, no distinction between dignity and inferiority? ”

Zhai Ji took a sip of wine, kneaded the beauty in his arms again, and then smiled, "Hehe",

"The Tang people always like to brag about how strong they are, haven't they been beaten by Li Guochang, a member of our Shatuo tribe, and can't tell the north and the south? If it weren't for Li Ke's arrogance and wanting to occupy Youzhou in one fell swoop, so he annoyed Lu Long and Li Keju, I'm afraid that Yunweishuo Sanzhou is still in our hands now. We won't be dogs for the Tang people for a mere 100,000 yuan. ”

Anqing's head accidentally spilled wine on the tiger skin lining, slapped the woman in his arms down in annoyance, turned his head and said: "What kind of bullshit prince to greet, now it's the Tang people begging us, the three of my brothers can drink here and wait for him to come to see this doll to give face to this doll!" ”

Sage Qushou drank and his face was flushed, "It is said that the doll prince is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he actually made a pair of 200-pound copper hammers, ahhh I'm not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, twenty pounds can play Lao Tzu will call him Dad! ”

The three of them laughed "haha".

"Yo, who is this in a hurry to recognize his father?"

A clear young man's voice came into the hall, and the three of them looked for their voices, and saw a black-armored young man standing in front of Chen Jingsi and Helian Qing, without a helmet, and a beautiful bundle of gold and jade hair was enough to explain who the person was.

Zhai Ji was still a little sensible, staggered to his feet, and arched his hand casually while learning the etiquette of the Han people.

"This is His Royal Highness King Shou, right? My brother drank too much, and his words after drinking are not counted! ”

Seeing that the other party was so perfunctory, Li Jie was not angry.

He walked to Zhai Ji's table, took a glass of wine and drank it, and then frowned,

"It's really rude for this Jiangzhou Thorn Shi to entertain distinguished guests with this kind of inferior turbid wine!"

He turned his head to look at Zong Hui,

"Bring the king's wine gourd!"

When Li Jie took a small wine gourd and poured most of the glass into the white porcelain cup in front of him, Zhai Ji took it in his hand and smelled it, and immediately praised: "What a strong wine smell!"

After saying that, he was not afraid of poison in the wine, so he drank it in one gulp.

There were about two taels in this cup, and Zhai Ji's face immediately turned red, and the spicy power almost filled his mouth, tongue and throat, and his stomach was also overturned.

He had a desire to spit out, but he was reluctant to spit it out, so he could only close his mouth and look at Li Jie with a look of surprise.

When the other two Qu Leaders saw it, they thought that Li Jie had poisoned the wine, so they stood up and pulled out the scimitar on their waists, "The Tang people are really cunning, they actually poisoned them!" ”

When Jiangzhou Thorn Shi and Zong Hui saw it, they immediately pulled out the horizontal knife on their waists and blocked it in front of Li Jie.

For a time, tension was raging at the banquet, forming a confrontational situation.

Li Jie didn't even look at them, but instead stuffed the stopper of the wine gourd tightly, turned around and sat on the first place that was originally the history of Jiangzhou Thorns, looking at them with a playful expression.

At the beginning of Chang'an, he saw that Lang Zhong used wine to clean the wounds of wounded soldiers in a large amount, so he thought of distilling these wines to concentrate the alcohol content, and handed a plausible sketch to Li Yi.

It may be that this sketch is too sloppy, and although the degree of the sake made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Manufacture and Industry is far higher than that of the rice wine produced by steaming and fermentation, it still does not reach the alcohol level, and the head song is more than 50 degrees.

However, it can barely be used, which greatly reduces the wounds of the soldiers from festering due to inflammation, which can be regarded as indirectly saving a lot of guys who should have become disabled.

For this reason, this process was classified as a secret by the Ministry of Industry, and the liquor produced was strictly forbidden to be sold privately in the market.

And Li Yi also earned another wave of favorability because of this, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in the military and civilians of Chang'an has increased a lot.

Bai Heng and Song Wentong once privately aggrieved Li Jie, if Li Jie admitted that he did it, he was afraid that his prestige in the North and South Ya would be higher and his weight would be heavier.

But Li Jie smiled, completely unserious.

It's not a good thing that the prestige is too high, and those who have high merit and shock the lord basically don't end well, even if Li Yi doesn't think so, those old stubborns in the court and the middle of the country can only say two.

This time he led the soldiers out, and each of them had such a small gourd on their waists, which was not used to drink, but was used as disinfectant alcohol, and it was strictly forbidden for these guys to open it and drink it without authorization.

"Slow!"

Zhai Ji, who had been relieved of his alcohol for a long time, waved his hand to stop the two ditch heads, and looked at Li Jie's eyes.

The grassland people are addicted to alcohol, but they themselves do not know how to make wine, and the degree of rice wine flowing into the tribe is outrageously low, with the highest being more than ten degrees.

He had long heard that there was a more mellow tribute wine in Daming Palace, which was full of strength, and he had drunk it once, but it was still a big step behind Li Jie's wine.

Zhai Ji's eyes rolled, and finally looked at Li Jie and said: "King Shou, we came to rescue the Tang Emperor, but the 100,000 yuan promised by Chen Jian only paid seventy percent, if you can use this wine 10,000 buckets to pay the thirty percent of the military resources, the soldiers and horses of the three clans are at your disposal!" ”

Li Jie almost laughed when he heard it.

10,000 buckets?

What a big appetite.

Now it is thankful that there are 300 altars in the treasury of Chang'an.

He looked at Zhai Ji and sneered, "This leader, do you think this wine is only worth a bucket and three taels?" The price of 10,000 buckets is only afraid that it has already exceeded 100,000, are you going to sit on the ground and start the price, and you want to blackmail Datang? ”

Seeing this, Zhai Ji also snorted coldly, and sat there without speaking, the meaning of coercion was overflowing.

These three clans were invited by Chen Jingsi with great effort, and now he saw that the two sides were in a stalemate, and then ran out to play a round.

"Your Highness, General Zhai Ji, everything is easy to discuss, now Chang'an is in danger, and His Royal Highness has also brought money that has not yet been owed, can you..."

He didn't say that it was okay, Zhai Ji and the other three got together to discuss it in a whisper as soon as they heard that Li Jie had actually brought the rest of the money.

"Prison Chen, for the sake of your face, it is naturally easy to discuss, why don't you ask King Shou to make up the amount of money and silk owed, and add three thousand buckets of such fine wine?"

"You!"

Even if Chen Jingsi was a person with an extremely good temper, he was glaring angrily at this time.

If he hadn't counted on this group of Shatuo people to relieve the siege of Chang'an, he could have drawn his knife and cut down this group of insatiable guys.

Li Jie kept squinting at each other, constantly turning his wrists.

At this time, a person who looked like an official in Jiangzhou hurriedly came, and after looking at the three Shatuo patriarchs, he said loudly to the assassin:

"Oh no, hundreds of Shatuo people are looting the people's property in the city, and the seven officials who are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city were beaten to death by them on the street, this..."

Li Jie got up as soon as he heard about the case.

"Three, the army plundered the Tang City, I don't know what you say?"
