Chapter Eighty-Five: You Have What We Urgently Need

Seeing Chen Ying's harmless face, Ashina Gushe couldn't believe that Chen Ying was actually the "Chen Ren Tu" passed down by the Turkic people.

In this day and age, staring at someone is a very rude act. Of course, not to mention a big old man.

Chen Ying was slightly displeased, and the cavalry armor soldiers around him were all full of anger and murderous spirit!

Livestock are the most sensitive to such things as "murderous aura", and the horses under the Ashina Valley are war horses, which are even more sensitive to murderous aura. This strong murderous aura made it feel extremely dangerous. was frightened at the moment, and immediately retreated in a hurry to dodge.

Not only Ashina Valley, but even the war horses stepped under Goshunur were also ordinary.

Ashina Gushe hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and crawled towards Chen Ying. Ashina Valley set up a prostrate in front of Chen Ying's war horse, arched his waist, and served as a stool for dismounting.

Chen Ying was not accustomed to treating people as animals, even Turkic people.

Chen Ying turned over and dismounted.

But Ashina Gushe climbed in front of Chen Ying's feet and said in a lame Tang dialect: "Ashina Gushe, the son of the Great Turkic Yibi Lu Khan, see General Chen!" ”

Chen Ying wanted to step forward to help Ashina Gushe, but he almost smoked out the food he ate yesterday with the sour smell of sweat and the unique smell of leather armor on this benevolent brother...... It's so smelly, it's a huge mobile garbage station!

Fortunately, Chen Ying was extraordinary after all, he smiled mildly and said, "Little Khan doesn't have to be polite, he came all the way from afar, and he worked hard!" ”

Saying that, Chen Ying instructed: "Pick up the wind and wash the dust for the little khan!" ”

"Catch the wind and wash the dust!" The original intention was to set up a banquet to entertain guests from afar, but now Chen Ying is really washing the dust. Under the hospitality of the Tang army, including the Ashina Valley, all the Turks were taken to the Tangquan Valley outside Beiting City.

Naturally, Tangquan Valley could not be polluted by this group of Turks, and they were taken to a huge tent, densely packed with dozens of chest-high wooden barrels.

As soon as Goshunur jumped into the hot barrel, he saw a Tang soldier pinching his nose, hooking his leather robe with an iron hook and walking out.

The Turks had very little scruple about etiquette, and Goshunur climbed into the barrel bare-bottomed, and chased him out of the tent despite the cold.

However, the Don soldiers went one step further and threw Goshunur's ragged sheepskin robe, along with the bits and pieces of his body, into the blazing fire.

Goshunur screamed, and quickly rescued his own burned sheepskin robe from the fire, and extinguished the flames on the sheepskin in three or two strokes regardless of the flames, and when he saw that the sheepskin robe had been burned to pieces, he shook the charred sheepskin robe and yelled at the Katang soldiers: "What are you doing? ”

The Tang army soldier looked at the burning bubbles on Geshunur's hands, smiled and pointed to a pile of new down jackets next to him and said, "Your leather robe is already old, General Chen will reward you with new ones!" ”

Goshunur's fierce eyes became docile. This pile of new down jackets, without the fishy smell of sheepskin robes, and very soft, is not only clean, but also warmer and warmer.

Goshunur, like Ashina Gushe, hugged his new down jacket and went back into the tent to take a bath.

Just when Ashina Gushe and the others went to take a bath, Su Dingfang was holding a knife belonging to Ashina Gushe and looked at Chen Yingdao: "These two scimitars are made of inferior iron, blunt and soft, and they will be scrapped after a few chops, if you look carefully, you will see that there are many gaps on them, it is hard to believe that this is the equipment of the prince's guard!" Obviously, those cavalry who are made cameos by herdsmen cannot have better equipment, no wonder the Western Turks have not yet decided the winner after five years of fighting, such a knife, our Mingguang armor, let them cut them can't be cut. ”

Su Dingfang couldn't help but be a little disappointed, as early as when Ashina Gu shot at him and proposed to ask Chen Ying to surrender, he wanted to pull the Yipi Lu Khan over as an ally, first, to avoid the harassment of the Yi Pi Lu Khan to Anxi, and the other to have more strength against the Turkic tribes that were as many as a cow's hair, but he didn't expect the strength of the Yi Pi Lu Khan to be so weak, it was really unworthy.

Su Dingfang sighed: "With such equipment, it's really not cost-effective to form an alliance with them!" ”

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Don't you think that now is the best time to subdue the troops of the Ebilu Khan?" The icing on the cake is like charcoal in the snow! ”

When Chen Ying saw Ashina Gushe and Ge Shunur again, they had already changed their appearances. Dressed neatly, there is no smell.

Ashina Gushe said with a smile on his face: "Thank you General Chen for the reward!" ”

Chen Ying said with a smile: "The border land is poor, there is a lack of use, and I can't take out any good things to greet the little khan. ”

After such a long journey, Ashina Gushe was already tired and hungry, looking at a jar of mellow liquor, where could he hold it, and immediately shouted: "It's done!" ”

As he spoke, Ashina Gu set up the mud seal, picked up the wine jar, aimed at his throat and poured it to the end, cooing a cow drink, and actually poured the entire jar of liquor into his mouth, and shook his hair after speaking, shouting: "Mellow and strong, good wine, good wine!" ”

Chen Ying only took a small sip, and when he saw that Ashina Gu was so heroic, he also said with some appreciation: "The little khan is really heroic. ”

Ashina Valley was also sincere, and said with a wry smile: "Where is heroic, it's really gluttonous!" Don't hide it from General Chen, Gu She has not drunk for four months, and for us Turkic men, the days without alcohol are really worse than death! ”

A group of Turkic warriors led by Goshunur were in close proximity!

Chen Ying laughed and said, "The little Khan is really fast-talking...... There are not many other things in Beiting City now, and there is wine, let's have a good drink today, and we will not get drunk and go home! ”

The wine and food are not very rich, eight hot dishes and eight cold dishes, eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes, but the color and flavor are complete, and you will drool just by looking at it. The wine is pure grain wine made from grain, and he has a very good appetite for Ashina Valley, this guy didn't have the time to look at Chen Ying's complexion, and after sitting down, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and shook off his cheeks and ate wildly, making the cups and plates a mess.

However, these men who grew up on the grassland have struggled for survival almost from birth, and the vast majority of them have not received much education, so it is understandable that they can't learn to behave rudely and eat ugly, so there is no need to be too demanding.

After Chen Ying saw the eating appearance of this benevolent brother, he had no appetite to eat, and toasted Ashina Valley one after another.

In fact, this mellow liquor really does not meet the taste of the Central Plains people, after all, Chen Ying is not a winemaker, but simply uses the distillation process, which is strong and punching. Otherwise, the reason why cellar wine became popular in later generations is mainly because the wine that has just been distilled is too strong, although it has been precipitated over time.

Ashina Gushe was eating happily, and Geshunur ran in with his feet in the wind, and cried out in surprise: "Little Khan, no...... Oh no! Ahmet is dead! ”

Ashina Gusheh was taken aback and asked, "Dead?" How to die! ”

Goshunur smiled bitterly: "He ate too many steamed buns and meat, and he died alive!" ”

Ashina Gushe even bulged the green tendons on his forehead one by one, wanting to scold, but he didn't know how to scold. It's really evil, a samurai who is as strong as an ox actually died at the dinner table, hell!

Chen Ying said slightly apologetically: "Little Khan, I'm really sorry, it's my fault that I didn't tell my subordinates to control the supply of food!" ”

Ashina Gushe smiled bitterly: "General Chen, this has nothing to do with you, it's that idiot who is too greedy...... In fact, we can't blame him, we haven't eaten for more than half a year, and suddenly see so many delicious foods, where can he control his mouth? ”

Ashina Gusheh waved his hand and asked Goshunur to find a place to bury Ahbot, and don't bother him with these things.

After Ge Shunur left, Chen Ying asked with some surprise: "Little Khan, you said that you haven't eaten enough for more than half a year, are you really stuck to this point?" ”

Ashina Gushe said with a bitter expression: "Don't hide it from General Chen, since Father Khan was defeated by Ashina Helu in the battle of Doros River (now the source of the Irtysh River), he has never had a chance to stop and take a breath, Ashina Helu soldiers have been chasing and fighting us, and those tribes who once surrendered to us have also turned against us, and when they found an opportunity, they attacked us secretly, causing us to be beaten everywhere and suffering heavy losses, until now we have less than 100,000 people left, and less than 40,000 war horses. There is no food in the tribe at all, and they can't eat even those skinny livestock, and many herdsmen have reached the point where they can eat their children, this kind of embarrassment, you can't imagine. ”

Hearing the words "Yi Zi and eat", Chen Ying and Su Dingfang couldn't help but be slightly moved.

I don't know how many words appear in the history books, "Yi Zi eats, and breaks bones for cooking", just eight words, but its tragedy has exceeded the limit of everyone's psychological endurance, making people can't bear to read and think.

No matter which side of this kind of thing happens, it is worthy of sympathy, because you are a human being first, and then a human being of any country, as long as you are a human being, there is no way to completely extinguish your conscience!

Fortunately, Chen Ying is in this time and space, and Datang is stronger than in history.

Otherwise, when the Turks have no way out, they will definitely invade the Tang Dynasty and pass on their losses to the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina Gu She is also well-informed, and knows how to observe the face, and when he sees this Chen Ying's expression, he knows that there is a play, so he stood up while the iron was hot, bowed deeply to Chen Ying, and said: "General Chen, Gu She's father Khan's order came to Beiting, firstly, in the hope of repairing the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic and Han ethnic groups continue to coexist peacefully, and secondly, I hope that the Tang Dynasty can bring a total of grain to our department to tide over the difficulties, please see that our department has fought side by side with the Great Sui and jointly fight against the Eastern Turks. ”

Speaking of this, this tough guy burst into tears, and the pride of the pride of the sky and the pride of the prairie eagle was all thrown aside, and he knocked his head again and again, until his forehead was bloody.

He didn't want to put on such a humble posture, but there was really no way, many clansmen starved to death every day, and the Anxi Tang army defended the border wall like a copper wall, even if the more than 40,000 people of their tribe he brought were all killed in the side wall, there was no way to break through the edge and grab a grain of grain, except to beg Chen Ying to show mercy, he really didn't know what else to do.

Chen Ying hurriedly got up and helped Ashina Gushi up, and said, "Little Khan, don't do this!" As the little khan said, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are one, and your ministry is in such a predicament, I also deeply sympathize with you, and I am willing to help you, but ......"

Ashina Gu was shocked and said, "But what? ”

Chen Ying muttered: "After all, Anxi has been ravaged by the war and is in tatters, and now it has just recovered a little bit of vitality, so I'm afraid it won't be able to get much food." Besides, this time in Anxi Tunken, many businesses have spent a lot of money, so they can't let all their money go down the drain, right? ”

Ah Shi Gu's heart sank, and he said anxiously: "General Chen, please rest assured, we Turkic men also know how to do it, the general has helped us, we will do our best to repay you, and we will not let you suffer!" ”

As he spoke, he knelt down again and said, "General Chen, please, save us!" ”

Chen Ying pretended to be a little helpless, and then helped him up, and said, "If you have something to say, don't kneel at every turn...... It's definitely not okay to send food to you for free, after working hard for more than half a year, we just have enough food to eat, how can we give it away for nothing? But we can open a border market, and you can exchange things for them! ”

Ashina Gusheu was overjoyed and said, "Really!? Then he said in frustration: "Even if the general is willing to reopen the border market, I'm afraid we won't be able to exchange anything, and now we have nothing!" ”

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Yes, you have what we urgently need!" ”

Ashina Gushe shook his head and said, "What else do we have...... There is nothing left but this rotten life! ”

Chen Ying looked at Ashina Gushe and said lightly, smiling without saying a word, everything was silent.

Seeing this scene, Ashina Gu looked at Chen Ying with great confusion: "What does General Chen urgently need?" ”

Chen Ying smiled: "Horse! Your horses! ”

Ashina Gu set up a pain in his flesh, and said unspeakably: "We...... We have less than 40,000 horses left! ”

Chen Ying continued: "You only have less than 40,000 war horses left, so ...... What about pulling horses? What about camels? ”

Ashina Gushe was surprised and said, "The general wants to pull horses and camels? ”

In his impression, the only purpose of Datang to open the border city is to obtain war horses, and as for pulling horses, there are many in the pass, and there is no need at all.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "There is still a lot of fertile land in Anxi that can be cultivated, and ploughing is inseparable from plows and harrows, and plows and harrows are inseparable from large livestock. It is too far to sell cattle from Kannai, it is expensive, and Kannai also needs cattle, so I hope that the little prince will bring a batch of horses and camels to exchange for food, and we will take what we need, and you will get life-saving food, and we will get enough animal power. ”
