Chapter 651: Take the opportunity to offer good ideas
"That's a horse, such a big panting creature, or a thing that recognizes the Lord, you want to get him away from the Western Mission, where is it so easy to think?"
Lao Wu stared at Shao Xi with two yellow eyes, as if he wanted to figure out what the delusional kid in front of him thought?
"Of course I know it's hard to get such a big guy, that's why I'm looking for a way! After all, you're better at this kind of thing than I am. ”
Old Wu Aili glanced at Shao Xi ignorantly, his face too lazy to pay attention to his expression.
"Who knows if you're praising me or are you scolding me? Don't count on me, I'm not in a rut! ”
As soon as Shao Xi saw Lao Wu is attitude, he immediately became anxious.
"Damn, when did you old guy become so hypocritical? Of course I'm complimenting you, and I'm definitely not as good as you for this ability to take things away while others aren't paying attention. ”
Lao Wu pursed his lips and asked, "Now my mouth has become so sweet, don't you say I'm a thief?" ”
Shao Xi smiled and replied with a flattering face: "Two different things, two different things!" What we did this time was something that was beneficial to the Central Plains, and it couldn't be regarded as stealing.
"This Western Turk has been an enemy of my Central Plains and has always coveted my Central Plains land, what is it for us to get him a horse?"
Lao Wu slapped Shao Xi with a smile and sneered: "You stinky boy is quite good at making excuses for yourself, obviously you want to steal other people's horses, and you say it righteously." ”
At this time, Shao Xi asked Lao Wu for a request, and his attitude was surprisingly good, and he asked Lao Wu with a smile on his face: "Tell me if you have any way?" ”
Lao Wu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said with a somewhat tangled face: "Old man, I have never stolen living animals in my life, but I know the methods of some flower thieves, that is, to poison the horse and turn it away."
"But the trouble is that this guy is so big, how can he get rid of it after he is fascinated? Even if we find a way to get rid of it, we have to infiltrate the Western Turkic Mission without being discovered, which is too difficult!
"You must know that this Western Turkic mission lives in the pavilion in this city, even if you get the horse out of the mission, how easy is it to get out of the city?"
Hearing Lao Wu say this, Shao Xi was also worried.
Indeed, if the horses of the mission are lost, they will be searched for all over the city, and when the time comes, all four gates will be closed, how can it be so easy to get out?
Shao Xi put his thumb against his chin, stared at Fa Yize and the envoys of the West Turks not far away for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have opened his mind, and turned Lao Wu with his arm.
Whispered with some excitement: "Who said we have to do it in the city?" Sooner or later, the envoys of the Western Turks will leave Loulan City and return to the Western Turks.
"And the horses he brought with him must also go back with the mission, so we might as well start on their way back, and save us the trouble of leaving the city."
Although Shao Xi's idea is feasible, how to get the horse away is still the biggest problem, and Lao Wu is starting to have some difficulties again.
"The timing and place of the start can be changed, but an adult sweat and blood BMW has seven or eight hundred pounds, if you ride this thing, it's okay, but if you are fascinated and carry it, I'm afraid that even this stupid boy won't work, right?"
As he spoke, Lao Wu pointed to the black ball who was dozing off with a big iron ball sitting on the side.
Shao Xi's head grew unconsciously for a while, although Wuqiu'er had a lot of strength, but if you let him run with a live horse of seven or eight hundred catties on his back, it was really a bit difficult for him.
"If you can't do it, let's get a carriage?"
Hearing Shao Xi's words, Lao Wu almost didn't squirt out the wine in his mouth.
"It's a good idea, but it's a shame to get a carriage to pull a horse, I wonder what the horse pulling the carriage will think?"
As soon as Lao Wu said this, Shao Xi also "fluttered" and laughed.
Oh, yes! Everyone is a horse, why is the treatment so bad? I wonder if the horses pulling the cart will be unbalanced in their hearts at that time?
While the two of them were sitting there discussing the matter, the second game had already begun.
The horses on both sides rode out after hearing the drums, and the first lap was about the same as the first, and the two sides were neck and neck, and there was no difference between them.
But in the second half of the second lap, the black horse with a white spot on the head of Loulan Kingdom was slightly ahead, which made everyone watching Marseille extremely nervous.
Especially Fa Yize and Shao Xi, this game can't be lost again no matter what, if this one is lost, then it will be meaningless to compare the third game.
If this one can be won, there is still a chance to turn the tables.
Although Shao Xi followed Tian Ji's horse racing method and used the superior horses of the Loulan Kingdom against the medium horses of the Western Turkic Mission, it can be seen from the competition between the two sides that even the middle horses of the Western Turks are about the same as the superior horses of the Loulan Kingdom.
Until the third lap, Loulanguo's black horse was only half a horse smaller than the other party, which made Shao Xi and Fa Yize feel very nervous, lest the other party catch up with a little force.
But fortunately, in the end, what they feared did not happen after all, and this second Loulan Kingdom won by a narrow margin.
In this way, the two sides played a 1-1 game, winning one game each.
Fa Yize's mood instantly relaxed a lot, he originally thought that there was no hope after losing the first game, but he didn't expect the second game to win unexpectedly.
In this way, even if it loses the third game, this year's Marseille has not won all three games at least, even if it is humiliated, it is not so completely lost.
What's more, this second victory has restored Fayize's confidence, and if the third game can be won by chance, then this year's Marseille Loulan Kingdom will move back to a city.
At this time, Fa Yize's gaze at Shao Xi became much softer.
He didn't know how the young man did it, but it seemed that he did do something to get his horse to win in the second race.
So whether Shao Xi really has a way, it depends on the third scene.
The victory in the second game also made Shao Xi breathe a sigh of relief, in any case, it seems that the method he has taken has begun to bear fruit, although the advantage when winning is not big, but as long as he can win, it is good.
However, he began to worry about the third race again, and judging from the situation in the second race, the strength of the Western horses was indeed not weak.
I wonder if in this third game, the middle horses of Loulan can continue this advantage against the inferior horses of the Western Turks?
After a raucous song and dance, the third game finally began.
The defeat in the second game did not affect the mood of the Western envoy, who continued to watch the third game with a squint of wine in his glass.
In his opinion, the horses of the Loulan Kingdom were all eliminated by their Western Turks, even if the royal family of the Loulan Kingdom was carefully selected, occasionally a horse outperformed the horses of the Western Turks, it was just an accident.
He believes that in this third race, the horses of the Western Turks will still defeat the horses of Loulan as they did in the first race.
But the result disappointed him.
In this third race, although the white horse of Loulan was only one head ahead of the Western Turkic racehorse until the end, it was this slight lead that continued to the end.
Until the two horses in the race finished the race, everyone present still couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Unexpectedly, Loulan won the final victory in this year's Marseille, and the ministers of Loulan who watched the game all cheered.
Compared with the Western Turks, the Loulan Kingdom was only a small vassal country, and now it was a rare victory for them to defeat the Western Turks in this horse race.
Fa Yi also stood up excitedly and clapped his palms at the victorious Loulan national horse master to show appreciation and encouragement.
On the other hand, the Western envoys on the side looked a little ugly at this time.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't show it too obviously, after all, it was just a horse race, and if he showed obvious unhappiness because of this, it would seem that Xiji was too stingy.
Therefore, in the face of the excited Fa Yize, the envoys of the Western Turks also forced a smile, reluctantly said a few words of congratulations, and hurriedly left the royal horse farm of Loulan Kingdom with their entourage.
Fa Yi looked at the Western envoys who were a little deflated, and couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed.
In the face of the Western Turks, as the king of Loulan Kingdom, he could only have a slight feeling of raising his eyebrows at such a time.
Without waiting to return to the palace hall, Fa Yi directly summoned Shao Xi at this racecourse.
"Shao Xi, tell me how you won the horse race in the Western Turks?"
Shao Xi came to Fa Yize, first bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "There is not much difference between the horse racing strength of Your Majesty's horse racing and that of the Western Turk envoys.
"Therefore, the weakest of His Majesty's three horses was placed in the first race, and he deliberately lost the first race against the strongest horse of the Naxi envoys.
"Then use your majesty's strongest horse against their medium horses, and our medium horses against their inferior horses.
"Although they are all narrow wins, we can use our strengths to compare their weaknesses, so naturally there is a chance to win."
Fa Yi clapped his palms when he heard this, and laughed: "It's indeed a good way, why didn't we think of it at the beginning?" He is really a wise man from the Central Plains! ”
Shao Xi muttered to himself in his heart, what kind of wise person? It's your own stupidity!
"I am fortunate to have survived the horse race of the Western Mission, and I would like to congratulate His Majesty the King!"
Fa Yize's face was full of joy, and he waved his hand at Shao Xi and said, "Don't be modest!" You helped my Loulan Kingdom win this year's Marseille, and you should be rewarded with 100 gold, and I will send my royal guards to the gambling house with you to ask for money. ”
To be honest, this reward of 100 gold is nothing to Shao Xi, he has placed nearly 3,000 gold in the gambling house.
However, because of the victory in Marseille, Fayi was in a happy mood at this time, and it was an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
"Thank you for your Majesty's reward, this time you can win by luck all rely on these good breeds of horses domesticated by Your Majesty, if there are no good horses, even if you use all your means, it will be in vain."
Although he knew in his heart that Fa Yize's royal racing horse was just a war horse eliminated by the Western Turks, Shao Xi wanted to pretend not to know about it and deliberately used words to stimulate Fa Yize.
Just as Shao Xi expected, Fa Yi showed embarrassment on his face after hearing these words.
With a little reluctance in his tone, he said, "What kind of good horses are these in my hands?" Didn't you often lose to them in previous years? ”
Shao Xi deliberately showed an expression of surprise and disbelief, and asked Fa Yi, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" On my way to Loulan country, I saw many oases and pastures in your country along the way.
"I have seen countless high-quality horses from all over the country, Loulan has so many good horses, there should be no shortage of high-quality horses, how can it lose to the horses of the Western Turks?"
Shao Xi's words are poking at the sore spot of Fa Yize.
You must know that the horses all over the place were all thrown by the West Turks to Loulan Kingdom, and let Loulan Kingdom provide for these war horses.
And every year, a large number of eliminated war horses are sent over, which has long become a big burden for Loulan Kingdom.
Shao Xi's words stimulated Fa Yize, what is the use of having more horses in his Loulan country? Aren't they all garbage that people don't want?
His royal racehorses are nothing more than the finest garbage carefully selected from this garbage.
Thinking about the fact that so many horses in the territory of Loulan are seriously damaged by the hooves, Fa Yi Ze is angry and will not fight anywhere.
So many horses could not be used as war horses, and every year they had to graze on the abundant water and grass in the territory, so that they themselves could not graze cattle and sheep, but could only plunder the surrounding small countries, so they caused complaints.
At this time, Shao Xi praised this matter, which made Fa Yi feel extremely unwilling, but there was no solution to this matter, and it was really hard to say.
Now that the topic has been brought to this, Fa Yi naturally told Shao Xi about this situation.
Shao Xi secretly laughed in his heart, and said in his heart I was afraid that you wouldn't complain to me, and now that I have come to this point according to my wishes, it is a good opportunity for me to "solve problems" for you.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to solve."
"Oh? What can you do? ”
Shao Xi pretended to hesitate and looked left and right.
Fa Yi understood what Shao Xi meant, and waved his hand to retreat the people left and right, leaving only Shao Xi in front of him, and the two talked alone.
"Your Majesty, when I came to your country, I passed through the country of Saroi and saw that there are also many oases and pastures, and the water and grass are abundant, which are very suitable for grazing, and the local people also make a living by shepherding sheep.
"Since the Western Turks threw this large number of eliminated war horses to Your Majesty, why didn't Your Majesty learn from the Western Turks to throw these war horses to the Sha Weaving Kingdom for free-breeding?
"Since the burden of free-range war horses has been thrown out, in the future, the war horses will be raised to death in the Shazhi country, and if they are raised less, it will cause displeasure in the West, and Your Majesty can also deduce that this is all due to the poor stocking of the Shazhi country, and it has nothing to do with your country, so wouldn't it be easy to solve this matter?"
Fa Yize is a greedy person, and of course he must take advantage of what he can take.
Hearing Shao Xi say this, he slapped his thigh, isn't it?
The West Turk threw the burden of eliminating the war horse to himself, if he passed on this pressure to the Sha Zhi Kingdom, not only got rid of this burden, but also curried favor with the West Turk, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
"Sure enough, it's a good idea, and that's it! You Central Plains people are really flexible and lively. ”
"In order to achieve this, Your Majesty has something that must be done."
"Oh? What's up? ”
