Chapter 362: Rain in the Pine Desert (28)
Outside the city of Yunzhou, the camp of the Turkic mission, sat and discussed.
The Turks did not like the couch table case of the Central Plains people, and the Great Zhou was even more strongly opposed to the Turkic sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the two compartments were deadlocked, so they took a compromise and placed the couch, did not put the table case, and knelt together.
The Turkic envoy is the commander of the Ye Hu Ashina Yuan Town, a tall and mighty rough man, a confidant of the Mosi Khan, he came to meet with the unclear intentions of the Quan Ce, and got the full authority of the Mosi, if the Quan Ce reveals that the will is not strong, or the act is not secret, immediately can be transferred from the south of Yanshan, and the Khitan flank the Great Zhou, rescue Li Quanzhong, defeat the surrounding army, and then kill a back horse gun, hijack Li Quanzhong, whale swallow has long coveted the pine desert land, the female emperor, at most, is just a confession, Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep can be ended, who makes her the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and can she still deal with the barbarian vassals?
Ashina Yuanzhen's wishful thinking crackled, but the expression on his face was cold, pointing to Xie Yaohuan, who was kneeling behind Quan Ce, and asked Li Qiao, the envoy, "Li Xiangye, the Great Zhou is a state of etiquette, when this militaristic discussion, why are there servants and lowly people?" Didn't you deliberately treat me slowly? ”
Li Qiao flicked the sleeves of his robe and ignored it, Xie Yaohuan listened, but he just rolled his eyes lightly, too lazy to care.
Deng Huaiyu, the secretary of the Honglu Temple next to him, explained, "Tong Ye Hu and please be cautious, this is the female official next to His Majesty the Emperor, the official list of five products, and the army as a general, the ten thousand horses you saw yesterday are from the hands of Xie Niangzi, the status of the right Langjun is precious, and he travels far away in a barren land, His Majesty is worried, and he is specially sent to take care of it."
Quan Ce showed an incomprehensible smile and raised his arms to get up, "Today's noble envoy has poor eyesight, so it is not appropriate to discuss important matters, please also ask the doctor to ask for medicine, and when his condition improves, he will discuss other things."
With his hands behind his back, he walked out leisurely, Ashina Yuanzhen heard his sarcasm, and saw that he was acting wantonly, but he was even more jealous.
Li Qiao, as the nominal envoy, immediately sat on the wax, but fortunately, Deng Huaiyu was experienced, and immediately handed over the steps, and whispered in his ear, "Xiangye, the lower officials think that it is not appropriate to meet with foreign vassals, and today they will recognize people, and they will just talk about personal friendship."
"Hmm" Li Qiao nodded, and asked about the parents in a similar manner, "How many wives and concubines are in the Tongye family, is the high hall good?" ”
Although Ashina Yuanzhen is a martial artist, he is not very refreshing, but he can also hear that this prime minister is bad, and he has no right to be in charge, grinding his teeth here, maybe he was taken advantage of, and immediately waved his hand to make a rough appearance, "Li Xiangye asked about his family, but I lost the way of hospitality, left and right, get a roasted whole sheep, go to the big altar and enjoy it with the old Xiangye"
Li Qiao thanked Bumin, and only said that he would have the opportunity to drink together again in the future, no longer disturb, and said goodbye.
The first contact between the two sides, a few rounds of coming and going, but they didn't even touch the skin of a little serious business, and they broke up unhappily.
After all, Ashina Yuanzhen was responsible for commanding the army, and he was anxious to find out the details of the power strategy, so he agreed to a second meeting, but this meeting was on the side of the Great Zhou, in the city of Yunzhou.
"Quan Langjun, dare to ask why Yunzhou has gathered heavy troops, so why did you come?" Ashina Yuanzhen is still the first to take the lead, no longer playing tricks, and directly taking power.
"In order to prevent the Turks from misleading the country and traitors, seeing that the Khitan was lucky to gain power, misleading the Khan, raising unrighteous soldiers, and coveting my Great Zhou Iron Bucket Jiangshan" The power policy is direct and frank.
Ashina Yuanzhen was a little uncomfortable, with a hint of suspicion between his eyebrows, "Hehe, Quan Langjun Zhengyue and my Royal Highness Princess Yunxi of Turkic Yunxi have just made an appointment to marry, but now they are facing each other, isn't it too ruthless?" After the Turkic Zhengdan tribute, there has always been no change, the Great Zhou gathered troops in October, sharpened their swords and Huo Huo, who are the unrighteous soldiers? ”
"Tong Ye Hu should know, be prepared, I have a heavy army here, it is already a fact" Quan Ce glanced at him deeply, and smiled, "If Tong Ye Hu is not satisfied, you can transfer the main force of Yanshan back and confront me, I am afraid that when the time comes, when the situation changes and you lose the opportunity, Mo Si Khan will definitely use you to sacrifice to the wolf god"
Quan Ce's words are unknown, but with strong confidence, Li Quanzhong will be defeated in the territory of the Great Zhou, and at the same time, it is also implied that the Great Zhou has no intention of taking it back in the land of Songmo and Liaodong, and let the capable people take it.
Ashina Yuanzhen looked at him intently, stroked his beard, and said tentatively, "Quan Langjun is full of confidence, which is gratifying, but Li Qianzhong is a vassal after all, if he can turn the war into a jade silk, wouldn't it be more able to show the mind of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" ”
"Tong Ye Hu intends to be this Chinese person?" Quan Ce looked at him with a smile and asked.
"That's right, if Quan Langjun thinks that my identity is not enough, and invites the Khan to come out, it will also make "Ashina Yuanzhen saw that his expression was different, and he was restless, but he still said strongly.
"Hahaha" Quan Ce laughed, "But he doesn't worry about Ye Hu, the foreign domain is like a son, the Great Zhou is like a father, the son is filial piety, and the father is merciful, if the son is disobedient, the father has thunder, the Celestial Empire is polite, and there is also punishment, and he has a mind like the sea, but he has no kindness of a woman, Li Quanzhong is perverse, and he is a disaster in all directions, and the poison is not shallow, and the sin is not forgiven"
After a pause, Quan Ce leaned forward slightly, and forced his gaze at Ashina Yuanzhen, "He has to die, Tong Ye Hu has leisure and leisure, but he can come in vain and enjoy the heavenly punishment."
Ashina Yuanzhen was speechless, the generals of the Great Zhou Wenchen beside Quan Ce were all dancing with flying eyebrows, and Xie Yaohuan behind the side was not abnormal, from beginning to end, her eyes had been lingering around Quan Ce's body, with indescribable tenderness and sweetness.
In the seat, he was annoyed by the picturesque General Ashina, stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Quan Langjun, I heard that on the Khitan front, there are King Liang and King Hanoi, everyone can be the master, each doing his own thing, you have no official and no lord, you are chiseled in this place, but you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?" ”
"That's true, Quan Ce has no official and no lord, just a deputy envoy to the Turks, therefore, within the scope of authority, I sent someone to the Ruling Department and the Turk Cavalry Department some time ago to visit" Quan Ce didn't let go, and his smile was slightly cold, "I came back with news yesterday, and the two envoys are coming, if Tong Yehu and the general have leisure, they may be able to meet together"
"You ......" General Ashina was furious, his eyes were red, he raised his foot and kicked over the table, and left in a hurry.
Ashina Yuanzhen glanced at Quan Ce deeply, "I can still linger for a few days, and wait for the good news of Da Zhou, and congratulate Quan Langjun."
After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Li Qiao was silent throughout the whole process, smacked his lips, and said, "Looking at the words of the Turks, I am a little wait-and-see, and a little anxious, as if I know the movement of my army, whether I will send a letter to His Royal Highness King Liang, if you can win, you will win quickly, if there is an unfavorable, you will delay and delay."
Quan Ce shook his head and smiled, "Li Xiang, don't care, King Liang won, Da Zhou won, King Liang lost, and I'm here"
When Li Qiao heard this, he immediately retracted.
A few days later, the Later Turkic delegation visited the door again, and Quan Ce specially arranged that he would not be treated as an official meeting, but in an elegant dance pavilion.
Ashina Yuanzhen looked mysterious and had a very loud voice, "Quan Langjun, but unfortunately, the good news was not heard, the bad news received one, His Royal Highness the King of Hanoi was defeated in the Luanhe River in the southeast of Danzhou, His Royal Highness the King of Liang was ambushed in the city of Danzhou, the wolf god blessed, the two highnesses survived, from the number of people is only hundreds, the casualties of soldiers and horses are no less than 50,000, Quan Langjun, and please mourn"
Ashina Yuanzhen counted the defeats of the Great Zhou one by one, and what he said was not detailed, and General Ashina beside him raised his eyelids and glanced at Quan Ce, but he was not all happy, and there was a trace of worry.
Quan Ce met her gaze, and he could still laugh, and he didn't care about Ashina Yuanzhen at all, but said to her seriously, "General Ashina, Saion lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing, as you said, the Great Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses were prosperous, and there were too many people who were defeated in charge, and when I got free, the day I returned to Shengzhou would be the time when Li was destroyed and conferred the head."
"Yunzhou's soldiers, you still won't withdraw?" General Ashina's heart was filled with joy and sorrow, and his chest kept rising and falling.
"General, Tong Ye Hu, if I don't withdraw, there is really no need to withdraw" The power policy was generous, as if he didn't take the defeat of Danzhou to heart at all, slapped his palm, summoned the singers and dancers, clothed with wine and delicacies, and greeted the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves.
Ashina Yuanzhen intended to explore the authenticity of the power strategy, so he took advantage of the situation and pushed the cup to change the lamp.
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere gradually became hot, when the wine was hot, Ashina Yuanzhen also danced a dance on the stage, the dance posture was heroic, quite eye-catching, Han Zhai, Lai Chong and others soaked in a lot of hooks, and they played two strokes, which was regarded as having a relationship.
Later, General Ashina also showed his singing voice, the crisp and moving voice of the lark, which was fascinating, but her performance made the generals around Quan Ce look embarrassed, and Xie Yaohuan behind Quan Ce was even more annoyed, she vaguely guessed that the so-called General Ashina was Princess Yunxi, Quan Ce's fiancée, but this fiancée entertained people with her singing voice in front of Quan Ce, which was really unorthodox.
"Quan Langjun, here is music, why don't you abandon all the worries and sing and dance?" Ashina Yuanzhen forced forward again.
Quan Ce laughed, held down Xie Yaohuan's hand, and stopped her from having a seizure, "Li Xiang, Deng Honglu, have been in the cage for a long time, everyone is so depressed that they panicked, and they allow Quan Ce to be presumptuous, just think it's a drunken immorality."
Deng Huaiyu was worried, and he stopped talking, but Li Qiao would not be a villain, and he was embarrassed by the power and left and right, so he didn't speak, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, just jump with you.
"Qinlai" Quan Ce got up and shouted, there were already maids on the high platform, setting up the incense burner table, and the civil and military lyre.
Quan Ce walked up the stairs with his clean hands, sitting on the high platform alone, the winter wind was cold, blowing his headband fluttering, his sideburns and hair were raised, covering half of his cheeks, and his face was ethereal, there were memories and sorrows, but there was no panic and anxiety that Ashina Yuanzhen was expecting.
I've been here for five years, and I'm depressed every day, and it's hard to be happy, and it's okay to be a little indulgent.
The strings of "Zheng ......" fluctuate, and its sound is majestic and magnificent, but it is sad from the bones.
"Grievances and grievances, losses and gains, but mistakes"
Quan Ce spoke, his tone was thick and calm, quite moving, but the lyrics of this tune were messy and unheard of.
General Ashina stared at it stupidly, everyone cheered and cheered, a strange smile floated on the corner of Li Qiao's mouth, and Xie Yaohuan was puzzled.
"The long tassel is in the hand, swinging the spear to stab me to be sober, the long tassel is in the hand, and I don't feel the tears quietly slipping down"
Quan Ce stroked the strings frantically, his tone gradually became passionate and generous, his eyebrows and face, bitter and thick, touching and heartfelt, and there was silence in all directions, only listening to him cry and complain.
"Come and go, how can you do it as you like, who dares to judge success or failure...... The road ahead is long, and there is no intention to drink bitter wine in the cold moon"
The sadness of the lyrics and songs, moving, Xie Yaohuan couldn't bear to listen to it, avoided going out, but saw that around here, there were already crowds, General Ashina couldn't bear it, ravaged up, threw himself on Quan Ce's back, hugged him tightly, rubbed his cheeks, Quan Ce's moon-white brocade clothes were soaked for it, and the Chinese martial arts people sat together, holding a handful of men's tears.
"The hero laughs and asks who is me"
At the end of the song, Quan Ce's eyes were bright, and he ordered in a dumb voice, "Tuoba, you lead the department, go out of Zhuozhou, and go to the grassland to meet Sun Wanrong."
Everyone woke up like a dream, Tuoba Siyu knelt down on one knee to receive the order, jumped down from the window, the horse's hooves were like thunder, and flew away.
Ashina Yuanzhen drank three spirits in a row, wiped off the water stains on his face, took General Ashina, who turned back three times one step at a time, and left.
Quan Ce is scheming, fearless, the battle situation has changed greatly, and wait and see for a few days, if the heavy troops in Yunzhou still do not move, there will be no chance to take advantage of it.
