Chapter 351: The Turks Have Old Friends
"Okay. Books.com ( . . β
Cui Geng was a little more impressed by Huang Youwei, and praised: "I didn't expect you, a bandit leader, to have such knowledge." I'm curious, why were you kid turned around by Fan Guanglie in the first place? β
"I was a smart one, and I was confused for a while." Huang Youwei scratched his head and said: "Now that I think about it, Fan Guangming's turtle grandson fooled my Lao Shizi Yunqi or something, it's quite stupid, I was a fan of the authorities at the time, and Li Lingzhi was dizzy." β
Song Genhai teased: "Pull it down, your bandit is not doing well, with dozens of people are almost unable to open the pot, are you embarrassed to say that you are a smart one?" β
Huang Youwei said: "Brother Song, it's not right for you to say that. I am also a person with a name in the rivers and lakes, north to the Turkic Futu City, south to our Dazhou Putuo Mountain, where to go is not fragrant and spicy? But I don't know if I can't be the boss by nature, or if it's bad luck, I can only take care of myself, and I can't take care of my subordinates. β
Song Genhai was still a little unconvinced, cut it, and said sarcastically: "If you are really so powerful, continue to go to the rivers and lakes to eat and drink spicy food, what are you doing with my parent Lord Shi before and after the saddle?" β
"Isn't that asking for a background?" Huang Youwei grinned and said, "No matter how fragrant and spicy you are, can you have the prestige of being an official?" Speaking of Brother Song, you don't like to hear it, just like you, you can be a seven-grade official, we have been with adults for a long time, we can't end up, right? β
Dare to love is still an official fan, no wonder Fan Guangming fooled him so much that he couldn't find the north in a few words.
As soon as Song Genhai heard his words, he was upset, and squirted: "Damn, what's wrong with me like this?" You kid carry it clearly, I think when I was a headcatcher under my family, it was quite ......"
"Okay, okay, save some spittle, let's not brag, okay?"
Cui Geng interrupted Song Genhai to boast about fooling newcomers in the past, and then nodded to Huang Youwei and said: "Cheng, as long as you are at ease to serve in front of this official, I dare not say more, a seven-rank loose official is always no problem." β
"Master Xie...... Uh......"
As he spoke, Huang Youwei's face darkened, and he said, "But the problem is, if we can't pass the current level of horse thieves, let alone be promoted, we won't even be able to save our lives!" β
Hey~~
Cui Geng and Feng Changqing glanced at each other and said, "It's easy to pass this level, but what this official is worried about is, how to deal with the aftermath?" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the evening of the same day, the Heqin delegation set up camp tents in the Hanhai Gobi Desert, surrounded by carts.
In the account of the Chinese army.
Wu Yanxiu sat in the center, Cui Geng, Yan Zhiwei, Tian Guidao, Yang Qizhuang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Huaigu, the superintendent of the Imperial History, and more than a dozen officials of the Ministry of Rites sat sideways to accompany him.
There are a lot of people, but there are really few who can hit the top one.
Especially when Cui Geng brought up the matter of the horse thieves targeting them, almost all of these officials on the scene changed color, and then-
Swish!
All the eyes of everyone were on Yan Zhiwei.
Yan Zhiwei was a little dumbfounded at that time, and said, "What do you all think this official is doing?" β
Cui Geng chuckled lightly and said, "This is a fresh question." General Yan, you are not only the chief envoy of our and pro-embassy, but also the general of Bao Taowei, the only military general in our team. Something so big, who are you looking for? β
Yan Zhiwei hurriedly shook the pot and said: "This official, General Leopard Taowei, was transferred from the Ministry of Industry, and he can't do a lot. Eh...... Don't just talk about me, isn't Lord Tian also named the general of the left guard? β
Tian Guidao rolled his eyes and said: "Tian someone's main job is to be a general, and General Zuo Weilang's job is to get an extra salary." Didn't you hear everyone call this official a farmer? Who do you listen to, who calls me Tian Weilang? β
"This ......"
Yan Zhiwei was bored with himself, and began to look around for the object of the pot.
Huaiyang Wang Wu Yanxiu? No, this kid is a prince, a nephew of Wu Zetian, and a son-in-law of Modu, who is too big.
Pei Huaigu? It is still inappropriate for people to supervise the imperial history, and Wu Zetian sent to supervise the eyes and ears of the peace mission.
Yang Qizhuang? This waiter of the Ministry of Rites is less courageous than himself, and he will not dare not agree. And this one, like himself, is an insider in the civil war and an outsider in the foreign war. Then leave this matter to him, then everyone has to be a ghost under the knife of a horse thief?
As for the other officials of the Ministry of Rites, it is even more not...... Eh, there is!
Yan Zhiwei's eyes lit up, and he came to Cui Geng's face with a shy face, and said, "This general is not familiar with military affairs, otherwise, this matter of dealing with horse thieves will be handled by Cui Changshi with full authority?" β
Cui Gengxiao took Qiao and said, "But this official is also a civil ......official."
"What do you mean by that?" Yan Zhiwei said: "The history of the governor of Dingzhou is the adjutant of the history of the Dingzhou assassin, and the horse management army of the history of the Dingzhou assassin is in charge of the people, and you, the history of the governor of Dingzhou, must also be counted as half a military attachΓ©." β
Wu Yanxiu also persuaded: "Cui Changshi, you once captured the Japanese Emperor alive, and you are the most proficient in military affairs in our group, so don't shirk it." β
Tian Guidao nodded slightly, and said, "I am willing to listen to Cui Changshi's orders!" β
The three giants agreed on the same opinion, and the others had no opinion, and they all expressed their willingness to obey Cui Changshi's command.
One by one, they were afraid of death, and this time they made a concerted effort to arch Cui Geng up!
After Cui Geng was a little modest, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
"I don't know if Cui Changshi has a strategy to break the enemy?" Yan Zhiwei asked impatiently for the sake of his own life.
Cui Geng said: "One of the reasons why we were targeted by horse thieves was that we brought too much property, and the other reason was that the Turks did not send troops to respond. Therefore, the strategy to break the enemy this time is...... Send someone for help! β
"Hey, what a bad idea, I can think of it." Yan Zhiwei said in disappointment: "There are no people in this place for hundreds of miles, and when you find the rescuers, the daylilies will be cold." β
Tian Guidao also hesitated a little, and said: "The Turks don't have a few good birds, even if they get the news that we are asking for help, they may not really save them." β
"A few people only know one thing, but they don't know the other." Cui Geng said: "Before the official came to the Turks, he did a lot of homework. There is a group of sand bandits in this Hanhai Desert, who are very brave and collect money from passing caravans. As long as we send someone to invite them and give them some more money, won't the problem be solved? β
This thing is true, it is a valuable piece of information that He Mingyuan spied on in the Turks before Cui Geng's departure, and later forwarded it to Cui Geng.
"And what's going on? But, Cui Changshi, how do you know that these horse thieves in front of you are not in the same group as those sand bandits? Yang Qizhuang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, expressed disbelief.
"This ...... The sand bandits have always been saluting first and then soldiering, which is different from the style of this gang of horse thieves. Cui Geng explained.
Tian Guidao kindly reminded: "Cui Changshi, what reputation can a thief have? In case those bandits take our belongings and don't come to help, they'll be ruined. Moreover, what if they see us robbing us, and they are willing to make a big profit, and suddenly turn against us? β
Cui Geng sighed and said, "Everyone, apart from this, is there any other way now?" It can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. β
Tian Guidao thinks about it, it is indeed so reasonable, the reality is like this, how can he ask for more?
So he nodded in agreement: "That's all it can be." β
"Since everyone has no objections, then we have decided to ask the sand bandits for help!"
Cui Gengdao: "But this person who asks for help is very important, he must not only be able to gain the trust of the sand bandits, but also be good at dancing and eloquent......
As he spoke, Cui Geng had already squinted at Yan Zhiwei.
Yan Zhiwei was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly shirked and said, "No, no, no, this official's clumsy mouth and cheeks will never succeed." Besides, with horse thieves blocking it, a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken can't rush out, right? β
Of course, Cui Geng didn't expect this goods, and said: "There is a person named Huang Youwei among the attachΓ©s of this official, who was born as a thief and has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, so he should be able to gain the trust of horse thieves." However, this trip is full of dangers, and it will cost the family their lives......"
The people present are all human spirits, and they will understand immediately.
Wu Yanxiu was the first to say: "After the matter is completed, this king will definitely ask for credit for Huang Zhuangshi." β
Yan Zhiwei said: "General Ben is willing to countersign." β
Tian Guidao also said: "Rewarding merit and punishing is the foundation of the imperial court. Huang Zhuangshi has made such a special achievement, if someone makes a hindrance from it, this official will never sit idly by! β
Cui Geng bowed slightly and said, "Then the lower official will thank you on his behalf." β
Huang Youwei set off beautifully, with infinite longing for the future and shouldering the heavy responsibility of everyone's lives!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When there are three watches at night, the stars are sparse at night, and the cool breeze is blowing.
"Drive!" "Drive!" "Drive!"
A group of horse thieves rode around the convoy of the peace legation, and constantly fired long arrows, which did not hurt anyone, but also upset everyone.
There were only more than 50 guards in the entire Harmony Mission, and even if you count all kinds of masters, it was less than 200, and the situation was precarious.
Cui Genghao also brought a few days of soldiers, who were a little familiar with military affairs, and comforted: "Don't panic, everyone, the range of riding a bow is short, and the range of a foot bow is long, they don't dare to approach the place around us, these thieves are scaring us." β
Yan Zhiwei said with a bitter face: "The truth is such a truth, but this posture is too scary. If the men and grooms break up, we'll be finished. β
"Hmph, I'm afraid that the first person who can't stand it is General Yan."
This old guy likes to talk about frustration and engage in negative energy, Cui Geng couldn't help but tease.
Then, he looked at Feng Changqing and said, "The fire is almost over, give the thieves some color to see!" β
"Whoa!"
A good Feng Changqing, immediately draw a bow and arrows, the bow is open like a full moon, and the arrows are like meteors!
Burst! Burst! Burst!
When the bow sounded three times, three riders were shot with arrows and fell under their horses.
"It's not good, there's a sharpshooter over there!"
"Stick to the point!"
"The wind is tightβ!"
Boom~
The cavalry of the horse thieves was in unison, and they receded like a tide.
Feng Changqing stopped and looked into the distance, changed color slightly, and said with some concern: "This group of horse thieves has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, even if they are not inferior to our officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou, it is not simple, it is definitely an extremely difficult horse thief!" It's strange what these horse thieves are all about! β
Yan Zhiwei said: "The Turks are good at fighting, especially the Turkic cavalry, which is known to the world!" Of course they are better than us Zhou people, what's so strange about that? β
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Feng Changqing held his head high and sneered, not bothering to explain to this soft bone.
In fact, if it is one-on-one, the Turkic cavalry will definitely not be able to defeat the cavalry of the Zhou army. The reason is very simple, how can the Turkic cavalry be compared with well-trained professional soldiers when they send troops in peacetime and war, to put it mildly, they are a group of armed herdsmen?
Otherwise, the Turkic Khan silently moved hundreds of thousands of troops south, and he didn't drive straight into Chang'an and destroyed Luoyang, and the world would not have returned to the Turks sooner?
Of course, Yan Zhiwei saw Feng Changqing's disdainful meaning, and scolded secretly, Cui Erlang humiliated and humiliated General Ben, even if it mattered, you reckless man is just his guard, and you deserve to humiliate General Ben?
Immediately, he said: "Since the Feng guards think that the Turks are vulnerable, why don't they dare to take the initiative to attack? According to this official, you are just happy and happy, and you have been addicted, right? β
"Hmph, General Yan's words are really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! If you don't take the initiative, it's not because you're afraid of them, but because you want to kill them all! β
"Bragging, huh? Now it's us, not others, who are worried about being caught all of them...... Uh, you mean the sand bandits? The official doesn't believe it, even if the sand bandits can come, they won't be much stronger than these horse thieves, right? β
"Not really." Feng Changqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Look...... Here it comes! β
Yes?
Yan Zhiwei looked in the direction of his finger, but sure enough, there was a fire in the distance!
Immediately after, there was a sound of fighting.
"Young girl, look for death!"
"Fuck you!"
"Wait, who the hell are you?"
"In this desert, the people who want your life!"
β¦β¦
Although the conversation between the two sides was vague, there was no slowness under the hands, and the sound of the handover of blades was incessant, and it could be heard clearly for miles.
Wu Yanxiu was alive and dead, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "It's successful!" It worked! Cui Changshi was strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, and the ancient Kong Ming used troops just like this. β
"Lord Wang, what you said is too exaggerated."
As soon as the danger was gone, Yan Zhiwei trembled again, and said, "What thousands of miles away, just three or four miles, if it is daytime, we can see it." Besides, isn't Cui Geng's idea to send someone for help? It's not a clever plan, who wouldn't! β
"Hehe, General Yan really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks." As he spoke, Cui Geng pointed into the distance and said, "Now that the reinforcements have come, why don't you leave the negotiation work to you?" β
At this time, the battle was over, and more than 200 cavalrymen in black helmets, black armor and black masks galloped in a neat procession.
The leader was burly, and said in a loud voice, "We have already helped you solve the thief, now it's time for us to talk about protection money, right?" Which of you is in charge? β
Boom~~
Cui Gengfei kicked Yan Zhiwei's back in the eye, and solemnly recommended: "Everyone, the person in front of you is the chief envoy of our Heqin Mission, Yan Zhiwei, the general of the Great Zhou Imperial Court. If there's anything going on, let's talk to General Yan! β
