Chapter Twenty-Six: The True Colors of a Profiteer
Yang Yuanqing and his men were taken to the camp area to the east, and Shi Shu Huxi had already allocated a large piece of open space to them, allowed them to camp on their own, and ordered people to send a lot of daily necessities.
In the camp, Yang Yuanqing was busy leading everyone to set up tents, and everyone heard about what happened in the main tent and came to inquire.
"General, must it be a Western Turkic nobleman?" Wei Chiwan asked in a low voice.
"I guess so! Looking at their posture, I feel like the king of heaven. ”
Yang Yuanqing smiled and stuck a wooden wedge into the soil, turned around and shouted: "Fat fish!" ”
"It's coming!" The fat fish took a sledgehammer, spat twice in the palm of his hand, and smashed the wooden wedge into the soil a few times.
"General, why don't I go and see what they're doing?"
Fatfish smiled slyly, "I have a way for them not to find me." ”
Yang Yuanqing glanced at the deep blue water not far away, and nodded, "Be careful yourself." ”
"Don't worry! I know it. ”
The fat fish whistled and walked away as if nothing had happened, and Yu Chiwan looked at his fat back with some concern, "Baichang, he is so fat, can he do it alone?" ”
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Don't worry! Although this boy is fat and strong, he is actually better than a monkey. ”
Wei Chiwan is really relieved not to get rid of Fat Fish, everyone has been living together for five years, and they have a deep friendship with each other, although they usually have a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm, but after all, they have been born and died together for five years, why did Fat Fish go alone, she hasn't turned a corner.
"General, why don't I take a few more brothers with him?"
Yang Yuanqing glanced at her, but ignored her, he picked up the rope of the tent, tied it firmly to the wooden wedge, and stood up and walked to the other side of the tent.
His voice came from the other side of the tent, "If you go with him, you will kill him." ”
Yu Chiwan suddenly reacted, she patted her head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "You! What a fool, everybody understands that you're the slowest to react. ”
"I said Wei Chi."
Yang Yuanqing remembered something again, walked up to her and said, "What I told you last time, how did you think about it?" ”
"Are you saying to let me out of the army?"
Wei Chiwan's face immediately became gloomy, "How many times have I told you, I will not be discharged from the army, don't persuade me anymore, persuade me again, I will deliberately die on the battlefield." ”
Yang Yuanqing sat down beside her and said with a smile: "But you are already twenty years old, you should think about your life's events, besides, your father is also old, can you bear to let him come to you again?" ”
Wei Chiwan's father came all the way to Dali City two years ago to find his daughter home, and Yu Chiwan gave her father the salary and rewards she earned as a soldier for several years, but she herself refused to go back, as a result, her father cried a lot, and he went back alone, at that time, Yang Yuanqing saw it in his eyes, and he was also quite sad.
He persuaded Wei Chi Wan again, "You also know your father's body, how many more years can he last?" ”
Thinking of her father's aging body, Wei Chiwan finally lowered her head, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "I will definitely not do it after I retire from the army, I can go to visit my father and come back." ”
Everyone has been together for five years, Yang Yuanqing knows that Wei Chiwan's temper is more stubborn than that of a cow, and it is difficult to turn back on what she decides, and Yang Yuanqing is helpless against her.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing's eyes swept away, and he suddenly found that Kang Ba came out of the camp tent with a blue cloth package in his hand, a little sneaky, he remembered that Kang Ba ran back to get this blue cloth bag when he left, what was he going to do?
Yang Yuanqing felt a little strange in his heart, so he got up and called him, "Lao Kang!" ”
As soon as Kang Bas turned around, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly hid the blue cloth bag behind him, Yang Yuanqing stepped forward with a smile, "Don't hide it, I saw it all, what's in your bag?" ”
Kang Bas had no choice but to pull Yang Yuanqing, "General, you come here." ”
"What is it? So sneaky! After Yang Yuanqing walked with him, he didn't have a good air.
"Shh Combas shushed, he looked to both sides, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he opened the blue cloth bag, which was a wooden box, and then opened the wooden box, only to see that the box was full of wool, and in the middle of the wool, was a pair of exquisite Yuezhou celadon vases.
Combus reluctantly stroked the porcelain vase, "General, do you remember this?" ”
Yang Yuanqing remembered that this was bought by Kangbas last year with 400 hanging money from a pair of Yanzhou couples who had fled, and Yang Yuanqing also knew that this was a pair of superb celadons, if it were not for the disaster, the couple would not have been able to sell it, and this would have been sold to the capital, at least doubled.
"Didn't you say that this pair of porcelain vases was going to be given to your lady?"
Combas shook his head, "I'm going back to give her the best gift, and I want to sell this porcelain vase for the money I plan to use it for trading." ”
"Lao Kang, who are you going to sell to?" Yu Chiwan asked from the side, she had been eavesdropping.
Kang Bas was startled, and when he saw that it was Wei Chi, he put down his heart and said with a smile: "I just met a Sogdian woman, who is from Shi Guo, that is the wife of Shi Shu Huxi, and she told me that the great chief of the Kusu tribe likes the Sui Dynasty celadon the most, and is willing to pay a lot of money, and I plan to sell this porcelain vase to him, and make several times the profit first." ”
"Lao Kang, I'll accompany you and help you be your bodyguard!" Wei Chiwan said with great interest.
Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead!" Let Wei Chi be your bodyguard, and help you bargain by the way. ”
Combas agreed, and left with Wei Chiwan, and they could be heard talking from a distance.
"Lao Kang, how much are you going to sell?"
"I don't want money, I want gold, and I won't sell it if it's less than fifty taels of gold."
"Ahh Lao Kang, you are so black-hearted! ”
"Hey, hey! Doing business is like this, how can you make money if you don't have a black heart, I came to Dasui from home, and it was at least ten times the profit. ”
........
Yang Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, this Kangbas is usually very honest and serious, and he is also very stingy, and he refuses to spend a single money, but once he starts a business, the nature of a Sogdian profiteer in his bones is fully revealed, and he is quite cute.
At this time, Ma Shao was heard shouting from a distance: "General Changsun is here!" ”
Yang Yuanqing walked out of the camp tent, only to see the eldest Sun Sheng smiling and riding over, "Yuanqing, come with me!" ”
"The general said to go to the princess?"
"The princess wants to see you, and besides, I have something to say to you."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, turned on his horse, and followed Changsun Sheng towards the Turkic camp in the south.
.........
"Yuanqing, the situation is a little bad!" Changsun Sheng sighed slightly.
"The general is talking about the Khan of Qimin?"
"It's him, I just heard the princess say that the conditions offered by the Western Turks are very favorable, not only to return the captured Dulan tribe to him, but also to allow him to build a tooth tent in the Dahe District."
The big river area refers to a vast river valley grassland between the Dujin Mountain and the Kent Mountain, the Suoling River Basin, where the rainfall is abundant, the vegetation is luxuriant, the historical Xiongnu royal court, Rouran and the Turkic tent are here, along the Suoling River to the north can reach the North Sea, is the essence of the entire grassland, and that area is currently controlled by the Tiele people.
Yang Yuanqing already somewhat understood what Changsun Sheng meant, this was the Sui Dynasty and the Western Turks fighting for the Qimin Khan at the same time, he frowned, "I don't understand why the Western Turks did this, what good is it for them to support Dye Gan and sit down?" ”
"It's not good for them, but it's not good for Dasui!"
Changsun Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "This is called returning the body of others in the way of others, this is how we dealt with the Turks at the beginning, provoked the relationship between them, and forcibly let the Turks split, and now Datou saw that we wanted to support Dye Gan, so he tempted him with heavy profits, pulled Dye Gan over, and broke with the Great Sui, from today's attitude of Dye Gan, you can know that this person has been tempted." ”
"Didn't Dye Gan know that Datou was plotting against him and rebelling against Sui? Once he rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and Datou attacked him again, did he still expect the Sui Dynasty to help him again? ”
"He knows, but he wants to take the chestnut in the fire, grab it with both hands, and don't let go of any of them."
Changsun Sheng sighed, "What's more important is that I don't want to be controlled by my Great Sui." ”
The two came to the main camp area of the Turks, and they didn't say much, in the middle of hundreds of big tents, there was a wool dome tent that was as clean as a white cloud in the sky, two sizes larger than the other tents, this is the sleeping tent of Princess Yicheng, and now she has been set up as Kedun by the Khan of Qimin, with a high status, in addition to the sleeping tent, there are more than a dozen sub-tents, and even a team of Turkic warriors as a guard.
Walking not far from the big tent, Changsun Sheng patted Yang Yuanqing's shoulder and smiled: "You go!" The princess is waiting for you, I'll go and see if he is awake? ”
Yuan Qing was stunned, "Isn't General Changsun going different?" ”
"I have already met the princess, she heard that the grandson of Mrs. Yang is here, so she wants to see you, and it has nothing to do with me." Changsun Sheng's voice was already more than twenty steps away.
Yang Yuanqing looked at Changsun Sheng running away, more than a dozen Turkic teenagers chased him, wanting to learn archery with him, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help scratching the back of his head and smiled bitterly.
