Chapter 514: Lang Has a Loving Concubine (Thank You, The Name Is Too Long to Read Ten Thousand Rewards!) )
The messenger of Jieli rode back to the court of the Great Khan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The head was wrapped in white gauze, and the blood stains on his face had not even been wiped off, and it was already black and scabbed.
"The Great Khan, Yu Shot and Jia Bi Secret Service ignored the majesty of the Great Khan, insulted and beat the little one. Although the beaten ones were small, the wine bottle was smashed on your head! ”
And when the messenger came into the tent, he began to cry.
The attached wolf guard who can become the messenger of Jieli is of course not an ordinary person, but also the children of some tribal leaders, and even nobles.
Jieli was looking at the letter from the little Khan of Tuli.
He had asked Tuli to pay him taxes to prepare for war. But Tuli refused, and cried to himself that he was poor, saying that the Khitan and other departments did not obey discipline, and he was very miserable in the east, and he wanted Jieli to share some accounts with him.
"Presumptuous, Momo and Smoo are too presumptuous!"
"Great Khan, you can't spare them easily, otherwise, everyone will dare to ride on the head of the Great Khan to and pee in the future!"
Jieli's face was gloomy.
Back set, Toyoshu.
Li Chao's fleet finally entered Fengzhou.
Before entering Fengzhou, Li Chao deliberately rested for a day, everyone washed and changed into new clothes. I took a bath in the river, and my hair was cleaned with soap, and there was no greasy, greasy, sweaty, sticky. His face was washed, and his beard was trimmed.
Then put on new clothes.
All the warships were also replaced with new flags, and they also specially practiced formation for half a day.
Early in the morning, the fleet set off, and the merchant fleet followed, and with the rising sun, it appeared in Fengzhou and entered the southern branch of the Yellow River.
Li Chao stood on the three-story flagship Galaxy, but he was very dissatisfied with his fleet.
I've been practicing for several days along the way, and I rehearsed it yesterday, just to have a very stylish appearance that can shock the Turks. But now, it has only been a small boat for half a day, but when it comes to the river of Fengzhou City, it is a little chaotic.
There's no battle formation at all.
Those who are guarding the perimeter, patrolling in front, and the traffic boats that are responsible for communication, the gunboats that should be in the middle, and the combat boats that surround the flagship, Li Chao originally divided their functions and each had its own responsibilities.
But when it's on, these groups don't distinguish each other.
It's as dense as an infantry phalanx.
It's a failure.
The city of Fengzhou is on the north bank of the Tungen Water River.
Today, the marshal of the Tang Army, Li Chao, will arrive, and many Tang businessmen have come with hot-selling goods, and the news has already been released.
Yu Sheshei and Li Simo brought many Turkic nobles from Henan to the shore dock to greet them, and many Turkic Hu people also arrived.
The fleet arrived.
There are nearly 500 boats, all with sails and flags, which is indeed very impressive.
The Turks on horseback had always been a little afraid of water, especially for a river as large as the Yellow River, which was even more fearful in the summer when the water was extremely deep and rough. It was only in winter and spring when there was a thick layer of ice on the Yellow River that they could easily cross it.
But now, such a large fleet of the Tang people.
There are more than 500 boats, which is simply a cover of the sky, full of sailboats, and the visual impact is great.
Li Chao thought that the fleet did not put on a battle formation, but the fleet was very dense, but the Turks felt that it was very combative.
The boat arrived and began to line up to dock.
Many Turks gathered around, and when they saw these groups, they were amazed one by one. These boats were too tall for more than they were looking for.
"Hey, this ship is actually three-story."
"What a big boat."
"It's going to have to be a hundred."
"Oh my God, I don't even use pulp, just sails."
"The ballista on the ship, look, oh my God, it's a big ballista."
"There are so many ballistas, there must be dozens of them."
"No, such a big ballista, at least dozens of people have to pull it, they have so many ballista cars, how can they open a crossbow on the ship?"
"There should be no crossbows on the ship, they are just loaded on the ship, and if they want to use it, they must be transported to the shore for use."
A group of people were there pointing at Li Chao's flagship galaxy, amazed again and again.
In Li Chao's eyes, it was just a small cargo ship, but in the eyes of this group of Turks, it was a great ship. Li Chao thought to himself, if the five-tooth warship and the five-story building ship built by Yang Suping and Chen Shi back then were brought here, wouldn't they have to scare these Turks?
There is also Yang Guang's later expedition to Liao, and he also built many large war ships. Many of them were large ships that crossed the sea, and some of them were built too tall and sunk into the sea in the wind and waves.
Hey, who let the Turks not see it, Li Chao didn't make the same fuss as them.
But in the future, there will definitely be some larger warships, and they will have to be fully functional warships. Since they have all set up a professional sailor compartment, and there are 4,500 sailors, they can't really be reduced to a transport fleet of the army.
After all, Shuofang has such a long Yellow River channel, and it is a rare navigable section of the river.
Having a strong and professional fleet of sailors is also a great help to Shuofang's current commerce.
Yu was also surprised when he saw Li Chao's fleet. He was not surprised by the size of Li Chao's ship, but by the size of this fleet.
More than five hundred boats.
He thought to himself, if all these ships were replaced by the Tang Army, wouldn't it be able to carry nearly 10,000 people. 10,000 Tang troops, transported by fleet, along the Yellow River, from Lingzhou to Fengzhou, although it was far, but it was faster than horses.
Although the Turkic cavalry was fast, it could not run day and night.
And Li Chao's boat doesn't use pulp and sails, but it can run non-stop. The Hetao is full of rivers and can be landed anywhere.
If Li Chao used the fleet to transport the Tang army to attack the Turks' Hetao, it would be impossible to prevent it.
Ashina was amazed, and looked forward to the cooperation with the Tang people more and more. He stepped forward with his guards and cleared a passage.
Li Chao disembarked.
Ashina hurriedly stepped forward.
"Li Xiangguo, look up for a long time!"
Li Chao's gaze first stopped on Li Simo, and then turned to Yu Shot.
Facing Yu Shot's open hands, Li Chao had no choice but to follow the customs, and also opened his eyes and hugged him together.
Yu Sheshe was surprised by Li Chao's approachability, and also surprised by his youth, although he knew that Li Chao was very young, but after really seeing the real person, it was hard to imagine that this young man who was not strong at all and not strong at all would be a young man who quickly won Shuo Fang and brought him a lot of money Shuo Fang Festival Marshal Li Chao.
He looked at Li Chao carefully, Li Chao was very tall, and he was tall. But his figure is a little thin, at least he seems to be a little thin.
The face is white, the hands are slender, the legs are high, and the muscles are lacking.
The beard is carefully groomed, cut into a short beard, and the lips are two small whiskers, which are quite delicate.
Wearing a round-necked robe, the purple color and the jade belt around his waist reminded him that although he was young, he was already a handsome envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
With 100,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and commanding the land of Bazhou, Shuofang Town has the power of life and death, and Li Chao Li Wenyuan, who has never been defeated, has never been defeated.
Li Chao was also looking at Yu Shot.
Young, very young, in his early twenties.
He had pigtails, a beard, a sheepskin robe, and a scimitar at his waist.
Although he is young, he has a sideways face, a red face, and a shy belly. This is obviously a reflection of eating too much meat and not having a balanced nutrition.
It's good to be young, Li Chao likes the young Yu shot.
Young people will have momentum.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but when they grow up, they will not be able to.
"I've heard that Yu Shot is young and brave, but when I see it today, it's even more rumored."
The first meeting was very good.
Li Chao held Yu Shot with his left hand and set Ashina with his left hand, and held Ashina Simo with his right hand, and entered Fengzhou City with a smile all the way.
This scene surprised many Turks.
When did we Turks have such a good relationship with the Han Chinese?
However, many Turkic merchants were also happy to see this.
It's good to have a good relationship, so that everyone can continue to do business in the future.
Entered Toyosu Castle.
The guests and hosts of the big tent set up by Yu Shot were seated.
Li Chao happily handed over a list to Yu Sheshe, on which was a list of 50,000 tariff dividends in exchange for commercial goods, and the things were on the ship outside. There is even a gift list attached to the back, and Li Chao personally gave Yu Shot some wine, perfume, silk and other gifts.
"Hahaha, cooperating with Li Xiangguo is a pleasure. Li Shuai is a trustworthy person, I like it. ”
received 50,000 yuan in dividends in half a month, which Yu Shotshe never expected. And Li Chao was able to hand over this dividend to him so happily, which made him even more amazed.
"I, Li Chao, have always been true to my word, saying that what is good is what it is, and it will never be discounted."
Li Simo waved his hand and asked the maid in the tent to retreat.
"Li Shuai, my family Yu Shooting has something I want to talk to you about."
"Yes, no matter what Yu Jie wants to say, I'm willing to listen to it!" Li Chao said with a smile.
Since Jieli succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, he has always been hostile to the Tang Dynasty, repeatedly invaded the south, and has always supported Liang Shidu, Yuan Junzhang and others, and even supported Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, to recruit fleeers in Dingxiang. I don't know what Datang thinks about this? ”
"Sui has no way, causing chaos in the world. Emperor Yang was killed in Yangzhou, and Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty supported Emperor Yang's grandson, Yang Yu, the king of Yan, to ascend the throne. Since then, Emperor Gong Chan has been located in my Tang Dynasty Taishanghuang, and the Tang Dynasty is the successor of the Sui Dynasty, which is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. Yang Zhengdao is not qualified to continue to carry the banner of the former Sui, and I deeply regret the move of Jieli Khan to support Yang Zhengdao, which is a great damage to the friendly relationship between the two families. ”
"As for Liang Shidu, Yuan Junzhang and others, they are traitors to the Central Plains, this is the internal affairs of the Central Plains, and the Turks intervened and secretly supported them, we deeply regret it."
When Li Chao said this, Yu Shushe smiled and nodded.
Ashina said at the end, "Xiangguo, in fact, I have always expressed my opposition to Jieli's behavior, but Jieli listened to the words of Princess Yining and the Xiao family, and insisted on going his own way." ”
"If yes."
"What if?" Li Chao heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, how could he not hear the meaning of Yu She's words.
"If the Tang Dynasty can support me, support me to defeat Jieli and become the Great Khan of the Turks. Then I promise Datang that on the day I become the Turkic Great Khan, I will return the Hequ Land and the Daibei Land to the Datang, and I will also hand over Princess Yicheng, Xiao Shi, Yang Zhengdao, Yuan Junzhang, etc., all to Datang for disposal. In the future, my Turks and the Tang Dynasty will be friendly for generations and will always be allies! ”
Li Chao smiled in his heart, this is an unexpected joy.
I can't imagine that I don't have to think about how to plan slowly, but this Yu shooting set up took the initiative to jump back. (To be continued.) )
