"Report to your lord, about fifty miles ahead, the leaders of the Khitan Department and the Evil Tribe, leading their subordinates are approaching our department."
A top soldier of the special combat team galloped back from afar to report the situation to Zhao Yunze."
What is their purpose?"
asked Zhao Yunze."
They said they had come to find an adult to visit their tribe.""
Got it, let's get in the ranks," Zhao Yunze nodded at the sharp soldier and said.The spearhead of "No" terminated the pathfinder mission and returned to the queue."
Brothers, go faster, don't let our old friends wait for a long time" Zhao Yunze shouted, took the lead in urging the horse to whip up, and went forward.The team also raised the speed of the horses and followed closely behind Zhao Yunze.At this time, Zhao Yunze's team walked in the western region of Jilin in later generations, and then a little east and south, it was the territory of the Yan Ya Department and the Khitan Department.The news of Yelu Zhenge and Ushmon is also quite well-informed.After they heard that Zhao Yunze had entered the area controlled by Tuli, the two of them invariably left the tribe's residence with their team and walked in the same direction with Zhao Yunze, preparing to invite Zhao Yunze to their tribe as a guest.On the way, the two teams met again, so the two armies merged into one army and continued to look north for Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze had already guessed that Brother Yelu Zhen and Wu Shimeng would look for him.In fact, Zhao Yunze chose this route to return to Datang, and also had the idea of meeting Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng by the way.In addition, he also wanted to go to Shicheng County, his son's fiefdom.Although he had the idea of meeting with Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng, Zhao Yunze would not take the initiative to go to their tribe.Now, Zhao Yunze is the benefactor, and Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng have a request for him, so he will not be so self-defeating.When it's time to put the score, you still have to put the score.Brother Yelu Zhen and Wu Shimeng really found Zhao Yunze's team and galloped, that is, ten miles away, and met Brother Yelu Zhen and Wu Shimeng's team.After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Yelu Zhenge invited Zhao Yunze to be a guest in the Khitan Department; Wu Shimeng invited Zhao Yunze to be a guest in the Yan Ministry, and neither of the two would let anyone.Zhao Yunze finally decided to go to the tribe that was close.Wu Shimeng smirked.So, the three teams merged into one team and went to the Yama Division.Another day, Zhao Yunze came to the location of Wushimeng's dental court.It is said that it is a tooth garden, but it is actually a village built in the mountains and forests.Dilapidated tents and equally dilapidated shacks are mixed in with the mountains and forests.It covers an extremely wide area, but the appearance of poverty makes people feel sad when they see it."
Lord Zhao, our Martial Arts Department is too poor, let you laugh."
Wu Shimeng said to Zhao Yunze with some embarrassment and sourness."
Alas, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that the place of the tooth court of the leader of Wushmeng would be like this."
Zhao Yunze said with emotion.The Jin Ya Department and the Khitan Department are poor, Zhao Yunze has long expected it, but no matter how poor he is, Wu Shimeng is the leader of the tribe, and the word "poor" should not be next to him.But I didn't expect that Wushimeng would be so sloppy here."
Our Khitan Department is no better."
Brother Yelu Zhen spoke, "The Yan Ya Department and the Khitan Department live in the deep mountains and old forests, and they all live on hunting, and there is no other output.The tax collected by Tuli is heavy, and our days are hard" "Aren't there any businessmen coming to you?"
Zhao Yunze asked as he walked.Brother Yelu Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "To the south, the Khitan and Khitan tribes are the territory of Goguryeo, and to the west, it is the territory of Tuli, whether it is Goguryeo or Tuli, they will blockade us.The herbs we dug up and the prey we hunted could only be sold to the Goguryeo or Tuli people, who then resold them to the merchants of the Central Plains. ”Ushimeng nodded and said, "The Goguryeo people and the Turki people have black hearts.They buy the output of our tribe at a very low price.The Central Plains materials resold to us are extremely expensive."
Two leaders, rest assured, when I return to the Tang Dynasty, next spring, I will send a caravan to trade with you, and in the future, you will no longer have to be oppressed by the merchants of Goguryeo and Tuli." ”Zhao Yunze said."
That's for the best," Ushmon grinned.Brother Yelu Zhen hesitated slightly, and then asked Zhao Yunze: "Then the better prospects that Lord Zhao said may be fulfilled" Zhao Yunze said: "I can make the decision about sending the caravan."
But that better prospect requires the nod of His Majesty the Emperor.However, the two leaders should rest assured that X will do his best to convince His Majesty the Emperor to agree to X's Liaodong strategy.When the time comes, you must remember what you promised and do not go back. ”"Haha, isn't it just for us to help Datang fight, as long as we give the sons and daughters food, who do we help, what is there to regret" Wu Shimeng laughed.Zhao Yunze shook his head and said, "Leader Wushimeng, it's not that you are asked to help Datang fight, but that you can only obey Datang's orders in the future, and you are not allowed to take refuge in other forces." ”"This is natural, if Datang can really move people with craftsmanship to come here as Lord Zhao said, and help our two tribes live a good life, then our two tribes will naturally join Datang.The sons of our two departments are also at the mercy of the Tang Dynasty. ”Brother Yelu Zhen took over the conversation and said."
The two leaders will remember your promise, and we will discuss this matter in detail at that time."
Zhao Yunze smiled and said.After saying this, Zhao Yunze asked again: "When attacking the Yinshan camp, the casualties of your two divisions were not large" Brother Yelu Zhen said: "Don't look at us as the first to attack, but then we only moved our voices and did not use our hands, shouting loudly, but we didn't work hard at all, and the casualties of our two divisions were very small." ”"That's good, if you really make the two of you pay a big sacrifice, you really don't want to go."
Zhao Yunze nodded.Wu Shimeng smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, you have to remember that if you send a caravan next spring, you must bring food." ”"Don't worry, although Datang has extremely strict restrictions on the exit of grain, but the two of you are different, those grains are promised to you for sacrificing soldiers, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely turn a blind eye."
As they spoke, they came to the square in the middle of the village.On one side of the square, there is a row of relatively large houses.The houses were made of stone and timber, and were tall and large compared to the surrounding houses and tents.However, the exterior of the house still looks very old, and there is not even a trace of decoration."
Lord Zhao, so-and-so lives in that row of houses.This is where our Yama Ministries are meeting. ”Wu Shimeng pointed to the row of houses with a horsewhip and said to Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze let his team rest on the spot in the square, and he took Qin An, Li Ren, Ashid Wumosi, and six personal soldiers to follow Wu Shimeng into the "court" of the Yan Ministry
