When he got up in the morning, Li Jing had breakfast and changed into civilian clothes, today he invited the Zhangxiong envoy to hunt, the time was set at half past eight, and now he set off to the suburbs at half past eight!

"Are you all ready?"

Li Jing looked in the mirror and asked.

"I did as you told me, and it will be foolproof!"

Ximen Yang said respectfully.

"That's good, there can't be any mistakes, this hunt is about whether we can intervene between Tubo and Zhangxiong, which is very important for us to completely subdue Tubo!"

This hunt is not just hunting, it is to show the Zhangxiong envoy the strength of Datang, but it can't show too much, too strong will scare the Zhangxiong envoy and make them even more afraid of Datang!

But they can't show too weakness, which will make them lose confidence and feel deceived, after all, the Tang army that can defeat Tubo, if it is all embroidered pillows, no one will believe it!

This is an insult to the male envoys, and it will only make them more angry, which will ruin Li Jing's whole plan!

Li Jing packed up, walked out of the palace, got into a carriage, and headed outside Chang'an City with the support of a group of guards.

At half past eight, they arrived at the hunting ground on time, and the people who were invited this time had been waiting for a long time.

"See the Regent!"

Li Jing entered the hunting ground, and everyone hurriedly saluted.

Li Jing stepped down from the carriage, climbed on the high platform, and said to everyone: "No courtesy!" ”

Everyone got up, and Li Jing asked the Zhangxiong envoy to come over and stand at his bottom position.

"Special envoy, these are the elites of my Datang, and they are the best generals in my Datang, what do you think?"

Li Jing stretched out his hand and pointed at the generals and soldiers in front of him, and asked the Zhangxiong envoy with a smile his first impression of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

At this moment, Li Jing boasted in his heart that Ximen Yang would do things, where could he find so many old, weak, sick and disabled!

Looking at the generals in front of him, only the foreign generals looked energetic, and the Han generals looked like they were hanging out, and at a glance, they knew that they were the sons of the gentlemen who walked the dog and teased the birds.

Datang relies on such generals to fight in all directions, can he win the enemy army? The Zhangzhung envoy was very skeptical.

Let's talk about the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the queue is standing crookedly, where there is a little elite appearance, and the second-rate army of Tubo has a fight.

"The Tang army is really mighty, but why are Han generals so rare?"

The Zhangzhung envoy asked.

"My Datang is tolerant of all rivers, no matter where they come from, as long as they can serve my Datang, Datang will not treat them badly, what is so strange that there are many generals in the Hu people."

Li Jing said with a smile, he just wanted to create an illusion for the Zhangxiong envoy that the Han people were not good, and they were all Hu people supporting the scene.

The Zhangxiong envoy nodded, and didn't say anything more, but there was a hint of a different idea in his heart, but they planned to take a look at it again.

"You are all my Tang Dynasty generals, good at riding and archery, I want to see your riding and archery kung fu in today's hunting, you compete to see whose riding and archery is better!"

"Here is a golden seal, take it as a prize, and whoever of you can win the first prize will give it to the one who wins the first prize."

Li Jing beckoned, a eunuch walked up with a tray, Li Jing uncovered the cloth on the tray, revealing a golden treasure seal, Li Jing reached out and picked it up to show everyone.

And use this as a bet, let these generals test the horse archery, to see who is more skilled in kung fu, and the first place will be rewarded with the Golden Seal.

The generals immediately cheered, and everyone was gearing up to win the first! Rewarded by Li Jing.

"Good! Now the competition begins!"

Li Jing gave an order, the war drums sounded, and all the generals turned their horses' heads and galloped away directly, each with a bow and arrow, and began to compete.

Ximen Yang asked people to bring a chair for Li Jing to sit on, and a stool for the Zhangxiong envoy to sit on.

Li Jing and the envoy of Xiangxiong pulled the family routine, by the way asked them when they would go back, although Datang is now poor and unable to help in materials, but barely squeezed out, there is no problem in chatting about the heart, go back and tell the king of Xiangxiong, when the economy is booming, Datang must be stingy and vigorously support Zhangxiong's recovery.

After hearing this, Zhangxiong's face turned green, they didn't believe Li Jing's nonsense at all, the huge Tang Dynasty, no matter how poor he was, how poor could he be?

If you don't want to help Zhangxiong, you just say it, there is no need to make excuses, when we are stupid, what nonsense you say, will we all believe it?

Thinking so in my heart, but I can't do it on my lips, who makes people unwilling to help, they don't have a problem! Does God really want to abandon Zhangxiong?

For the guys who don't go on the road, Li Jing doesn't bother to talk to them, hoping that after this hunt, they can change their minds and borrow troops from Datang!

Three hours passed, and the generals returned one after another, full of loads!

After the inventory, Quan Xiancheng hunted the most prey and won the first place!

"Excellent! If you win the first place, then this golden treasure will be rewarded to you! ”

Li Jing sat on the chair and said.

"Regent, in terms of cavalry and archery, I am not as good as the right leading army Wei General Xue Lumo, the reason why I was able to get the first place this time is because of the great general Xue Dumo's humility, therefore, this first should belong to the great general Xue Lumo."

Quan Xiancheng did not accept the reward immediately, but humbly relinquished himself and gave the credit to Xue Lumo of Xue Yantuo's nationality, thinking that Xue Lumo was better than him in terms of riding and archery, and if he pretended to admit this credit, he would feel uneasy in his heart.

"Regent, the general of the right guard, Quan Xiancheng, is not under me, this time I lost to him, and Weichen has no complaints......"

Xue Dumo also tried his best to be humble, Quan Xiancheng won the first place with his strength, he was happy and convinced!

"Whoever you let in and out like this, the king does not know to whom the reward comes, but tell yourselves, who should be rewarded?"

Li Jing said.

"Regent, they don't want it, it's better to reward the last general!"

Among the Han generals, one of them stood up and shouted loudly, in this competition, he didn't get a single prey, how embarrassed to ask for a reward.

This was specially arranged by Ximenyang, so that the envoy of Xiangxiong saw "greed" and felt that as long as the generals of the Tang Dynasty gave enough benefits, they could do anything!

Even if Zhangxiong borrows troops from Datang in the future, he can achieve his own goals by bribing Datang generals, so that he does not worry that Zhangxiong will fall into the hands of Datang in the future.

Of course, greed alone is absolutely not enough, there needs to be others, and the Zhangxiong people must feel at ease, so that Zhangxiong will borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty without any scruples and go back to complete their dream of recovering the country.

"The regent ordered the selection of good shooters, most of them are not Han officials today, and they are afraid of the four light men, please stop shooting."

Humility comes, humility goes, and in the end there is still no result, Quan Xiancheng crossed his hands and saluted, he didn't want their humility to become a joke in the eyes of foreigners.

Now that he is a general of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally has to consider everything for the Tang Dynasty, especially the face problem, but he doesn't understand why most of the generals chosen by the regent are foreign generals.

Even if there are Han generals, they are also some generals with average strength, aren't they afraid of letting Siyi see jokes?

"What Xiancheng said is very true!"

Li Jing took the golden treasure seal into his arms and gladly accepted Quan Xiancheng's suggestion.

"Everyone is tired, it's better to take a break, have lunch, it just so happened that I hit a lot of prey today, all of them were taken down and dealt with and quickly roasted and eaten, remember to call me when the roast is done, I didn't sleep well last night, I'll go and take a nap!"

Li Jing got up, nodded apologetically to the male envoy, and walked towards the tent that had been prepared for him a long time ago.

The Zhangzhung envoys gathered together to discuss, what to do next? It seems that from this regent, I am afraid that I will not be able to get any food and weapons.

But they can't go back empty-handed, if they go back empty-handed, how can they explain to the people who are looking forward to it, they are still fighting against the Tubo people in the hometown of Zhangxiong.

After some discussion, they decided to take a look first and then talk about it, it's a big deal to get food from other places, and in a place as big as Datang, they are afraid that they won't be able to get food.

They didn't believe that Datang would be as poor as Li Jing said, and the regent was unwilling to give them assistance, so he went to other nobles to sell, and they had already heard that there were five nobles in Datang, who were strong and must have a lot of food.

Li Jing went to the tent to rest, and before eating, everyone moved freely, and the Zhangxiong envoys acted separately to see if they could benefit from these Tang army generals.

An envoy of Zhangzhung walked towards the Han generals who were sitting on the grass and chatting not far away, and vaguely heard what they were talking about, so he quietly hid nearby and eavesdropped on what they were saying.

"This month, our salaries and salaries have decreased a lot compared to the previous month."

"But no, the court always said that this year's harvest was not good, so the ministers of the court and the central government have all reduced! But I heard that the income of those Hu officials has not decreased, and it has increased somewhat. ”

"The regent is so unfair, how can we serve the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind, I think that my great-ancestor was born and died with Emperor Taizong, so he laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and now, the regent does not rely on his own family, but he pours out his heart and lungs to the Hu people, which really makes me feel cold!"

"That is, I can't sit still, why don't I ask the regent why he treats us heroes like this? Is it because we are not as brave and good at fighting as the Hu people? ”

"Let's go, let's go and ask the regent, why did he treat us like this, if it weren't for the bloody struggle of our ancestors, would we have today's peaceful and prosperous world?"

A group of people shouted and walked towards Li Jing's tent.

Seeing the anger of the heroes, the Zhangzhung messenger immediately went to his companions and told them what he had heard.

Several Zhangxiong envoys gathered together and listened to the conversations they had heard, and they had a new idea in their hearts, if the army of the Han people in the Tang Dynasty was inferior to the Hu people, it was not impossible to borrow it.

Although they are not strong enough in battle, they can be used as cannon fodder, once they are wiped out by Tubo, it will inevitably annoy the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, the Tang Dynasty will send elites to fight against Tubo.

Wouldn't it be better for them to compete with each other and make a profit from it!

The leader of the Zhangxiong envoy decides, and then looks at it before making a decision.
