0481 [Single Knife Meeting]
Yelu Dashi shook his head, picked up a handful of river water and poured it on his bronze shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's difficult, the leader of the Moge lost tribe, Benig, is not a mediocre master, this person is good at the left and right, and now he is growing rapidly with his back to the Jin Kingdom, so he naturally refuses to belong to me." ”
To put it bluntly, it is still due to interests.
Although life was good when Liao was under the rule, how can it be comfortable now?
Now all the tribes on the grassland have been cleaned up by the Jurchens, but Mo Ge has taken advantage of the situation and has faintly become the little overlord on this grassland.
The key Jin people will not only not be afraid, but will only reuse them more, after all, Wanyan Wu beggars still need Fennig to control the grassland.
There is no way, Shangjing Road (Inner Mongolia + Outer Mongolia) is too big, so big that it takes a month or two to run from east to west without eating or drinking.
Unless Ronig is crazy, he will follow Jerod Stone to cut gold.
Ma Kuo sighed: "It seems that a war is inevitable. ”
"Not really."
Yelu Dashi chuckled and said, "Although the Buddha will not be attached to this king, if it is just a loan, there is still a certain certainty. This king said that Bunig is good at the left and right, and will not press the treasure on one end. If the Jin people are powerful, then it is naturally a different matter, but if, as Ma Shangshu said, the Qi State is attacking rapidly and has captured the land of Sanzhou, then Zhan Nige will definitely consider it carefully. ”
Mo Ge is entrenched at the junction of Saikyo Road and Shangjing Road, and it is also possible to take a detour, or cross the Yin Mountain from Heishui and make a detour to Toyosu.
Or you have to go from the east, through the vast Gobi and the desert.
Either way, it's not as cost-effective as coming from the Lost Division.
"King Liao, rest assured, what this official said is true."
Ma Kuo patted his chest and assured, obviously extremely confident in Han Zhen and the Qingzhou Army.
Yelu Dashi nodded and said, "In this case, this king can go and try it tomorrow." ”
"No."
Ma Kuo stopped: "The King of Liao has a special identity, so he can't go on any errands, so it's better for the official to go." ”
At this juncture, once Yelu Dashi was detained by Fenig and handed over to the Jin Kingdom, all his efforts on this trip would be in vain.
Although this probability is very small, it has to be guarded against.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Yelu Dashi's eyes, and he said arrogantly: "Okay, then the king will prepare the wine and wait for the good news of Ma Shangshu!" ”
In Mobei in mid-March, the river water is still very cold, and after soaking for a long time, you will feel a biting chill, constantly drilling along the pores to the body.
The two washed for a few more moments, and then got up from the river.
Following.
Early in the morning, Ma Kuo brought some gifts, and under the escort of the Xuanjia army, he went straight to Mo Ge's lost department.
After running wild on the grassland for more than 100 miles, they came across a small tribe.
After revealing their identities, the leader of the small tribe was taken aback and hurriedly sent someone to send them to the gathering place where the Mog Lost tribe was.
The herdsmen on the steppe have always lived in pursuit of water and grass, and have never settled.
If there is no one to lead the way, the vast grassland does not know when to find it.
You must know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu several times, and each time a general got lost in the grassland.
Gongsun Ao, Zhang Qian, Li Guang...... Who hasn't gotten lost in the desert?
The reason why Huo Quai's deeds are so legendary is because he can accurately find the Xiongnu royal court every time.
That night, Ma Kuo came to the Moge Lost Division.
Knowing that the envoys of the Qi State were coming, Fenig looked incredulous.
Could it be that the Qi army has already captured Datong?
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, and the news came a few days ago that the Qi army had just taken Ulzhou and was preparing to encircle Datong.
Even if Datong is laid, it will be too late to get here.
At this moment, a big man said: "King, the envoy of the Qi State suddenly visited, I am afraid that he wants to persuade us to surrender, so it is better to kill us directly, take the head of the envoy of the Qi State, and go to the Jin people to ask for merit." ”
This man was the younger brother of Bonig, Zazag.
Fenig waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly, first test what these envoys of Qi are coming from, and then make a decision." ”
After that, he instructed: "Invite the envoys of the Qi State into the account." ”
Under the rule of the Liao State for more than 200 years, the herdsmen of the grassland tribes still maintained their simple temperament, but the nobles had already become human spirits, and they had many hearts.
With his approval, Ma Kuan adjusted his official uniform, led his guards, and walked towards the felt tent located in the central zone.
On both sides of the road, stands a line of soldiers, holding torches.
All of them were tall and had a strong aura, staring at Ma Kuo and the others with fierce and vicious eyes.
Ma Kuo knew that this was the dismount that Bonig gave him, so he was not afraid and strode forward.
Approaching the felt tent, two guards stretched out their hands to stop Ma Kuo.
One of the soldiers glanced at the Xuanjia Army behind him and said sharply, "Only three people are allowed to enter the account, and they need to unload their swords." ”
"Zhang Dutou, Lu Cheng, the two of you and the official will go in together."
Ma Kuo said, untied the steel knife at his waist and handed it over.
"Okay."
Zhang Dutou and the two responded.
After unloading their weapons, the three of them entered the felt tent.
Fenig sat upright in the middle, his eyes fixed on Ma Kuo.
After dusting off his official uniform, Ma Kuo bowed calmly, and said in fluent Khitan language: "Ma Kuo, the envoy of Qi State, has seen the king. ”
Zazag, who was sitting at the bottom of the Bunig, suddenly burst into a shout: "You are so bold, don't you know that the Qi State is at war with my Jin State, and you dare to come?" ”
Ma Kuo replied lightly: "The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed." ”
Zazag sneered: "That's your rule in the Central Plains, on the grassland, you have to abide by our rules!" ”
Ma Kuo smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Since this official dares to come, he has naturally put life and death out of the way, and there is only death, so why be afraid." But the king did not know that he was already in a great disaster. ”
"Fart!"
Zazag stood up sharply, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword.
"Zazag, sit down."
Seeing that Zazag was provoked by the other party's words, Fanig, who had been watching coldly, slowly spoke.
"Humph!"
Zazag snorted coldly, glared at Ma Kuo fiercely, and then sat down reluctantly.
Fenig said unhurriedly: "My younger brother is a rough man, and his temperament is a little hotter, please sit down the envoy of Qi State." ”
Ma Kuo arched his hand: "Thank you for the king's sitting, this time I came to visit, and I specially brought some gifts from the Central Plains, and I hope the king will not dislike it." ”
After that, Zhang Dutou and Lu Cheng opened the wooden box in their hands and placed it on the low table.
In the wooden box, there are two glassware.
One is a green wolf, and the other is an eagle.
After many improvements, the firing process makes these two glazed objects shine brightly and come to life under the reflection of firelight.
Zazag's eyes lit up, and his face showed undisguised love and greed.
Fenig's performance was much better, but the fleeting amazement in his eyes still couldn't escape Ma Kuo's eyes.
Although there are a lot of benefits to following Jin Guo's ass, they have never seen such a good thing.
With the quality of these two glazed objects, even if they are placed in Kaifeng Mansion, they can be sold for tens of thousands.
So it's not surprising that the two of them behaved like this.
In the end, he was extraordinary, and after just a few glances, he withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this scene, Ma Kuo knew that this person was not easy to deal with.
A person who knows how to exercise restraint can achieve a career in a big or small way.
It seems that Yelu Dashi is right, and it is indeed not to be underestimated that under the drastic changes, Mo Ge can lose his troops to avoid military disasters, and take advantage of the situation to become bigger.
When Ma Kuan sat down, Fenig said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the envoy said that this king is in trouble, but there is any evidence?" It is necessary to know that this king hates alarmists and exaggerations the most in his life. ”
