The yellow head returned to the king's tent.
In order to better resist the Eastern Crusade Holy War launched by Suleiman, Li Liangzuo not only sent Li Yanzong to lead an army of 50,000 to support the Western Uighurs, but also sent the Western Xia envoy Yang Shousu to send troops to Huangtou Hui and Caotou Tatar.
"Your Majesty, the summer envoy asks to see you."
A sentry hurried into the big tent of the Hui King.
King Hui laughed and said, "Everyone, hurry up and welcome the summer envoy with this king." ” Since the Hui king declared himself a vassal to Li Liangzuo, the caravans of the Western Xia would arrive here every few days to trade with the Hui people, so that the excess products of the Hui could be exported, and also brought the exquisite silk and treasures of the Western Xia, although the trade did not start for a long time, but the Hui Hui was already much richer than the original, which made the Hui King grateful to the Western Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo.
The king of Hui led the leaders of the tribes to the outside of the camp, and when he saw the Xia envoy Yang Shousu, he smiled and hugged him: "This king brings the leaders of the tribes to welcome the Xia envoy to my tent of the king of Hui." ” Yang Shousu bowed his hand and said: "The king is polite, and the foreign ministers are also here on the orders of His Majesty." ” King Hui casually glanced behind him, and saw an acquaintance and said, "Yo, isn't this the Khan of Tatar, how did he come to this king if he didn't stay in his sweat tent?"
” "Would you like to come," said the Tatar Khan, with a cold snort; "If it weren't for Lord Yang insisting on coming to this Khan, Ben Khan wouldn't have come."
Yang Shousu hurriedly said: "The two kings, why bother to be angry, all of them are angry, although everyone usually has some friction, but those are small things, this time His Majesty sent foreign ministers to solve these small things." ” "In that case, this king will spare you for the sake of Lord Yang's face, and the two of you will be invited into the king's account."
The Hui king said to Yang Shousu and the Tatar Khan.
As the two major tribes in this Gobi steppe, there has been friction between the Huangtou Hui and the Caotou Tatar for a long time, and the two tribes often fight for the pasture, although the scale of the war is not large, but after so many years, there are hundreds of fewer deaths and injuries every year, so the hatred between the two tribes can be said to be very large.
Mutton, Hu cake, mare's milk wine This is the most grand banquet for the grassland tribe to entertain guests, and the host and guest sat down and asked Yang Shousu: "Lord Yang is here to solve the matter of the two tribes, I don't know how the adults want to solve it." ” "The king is quick to talk, and the minister will not spare the bend."
Yang Shousu said: "Someone came to bring things in. ” After a while, three large chests were brought in, and there was also a scroll, and after the accompanying soldiers opened the map, everyone gathered around the map, and the Uighur king and the Tatar Khan were very shocked to see this map, because the map clearly marked the location of their two tribes, as well as the cities of the Western Uighurs, and the surrounding terrain.
Yang Shousu pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Two kings and leaders, you should have received the news that the Great Khan of the Black Khan Dynasty, Suleiman, commanded 200,000 elite soldiers to launch the so-called holy war, and attacked the east, and has now attacked Jiaohe City of the Uighur Kingdom, which is a hundred miles away from Gaochang, the capital of the Uighur Kingdom; The two kings are both smart people, forty years ago the Black Khan Dynasty destroyed the Khotanese state, and now it is going eastward in a big way, no one dares to guarantee that after Suleiman destroyed the Uighur kingdom, he will not collect troops and return to China, in addition, the Uighur kingdom is a vassal of my Great Xia Kingdom, our emperor has ordered the Fuyuan general Li Yanzong to lead 50,000 troops to the west to support; If the king refuses to send troops, it doesn't matter, but I just hope that the king will not raise troops against the Tatar Khan's troops before they are taken away, otherwise don't blame our country for being unkind. ” "What your envoy means is that the grass head Tatar will take it away."
King Hui asked Yang Shousu.
Before Yang Shousu could answer, the Tatar Khan replied first: "Yes, Ben Khan has promised Lord Yang to send troops, and in return, Emperor Xia will reward Ben Khan with a piece of fertile grassland in Hexi or Xizhou, and the place will be chosen by Ben Khan." ” As soon as the words of Tatar Khan fell, the whole tent was in chaos, in this era, a piece of fertile grassland for a grassland tribe, is wealth, cattle and sheep, women and population, Li Liangzuo's offer of this condition is too tempting, which makes the king of Hui very tempted.
"I don't know how much Lord Yang wants me to send troops back to Hui," King Hui asked Yang Shousu.
Yang Shousu smiled and said: "It depends on the king, the more troops my emperor sends by order, the greater the reward, if the king of Hui is unwilling to send troops, my emperor has no opinion." ” King Hui sat back on the throne and thought about it carefully, after all, this matter is very important, and it is related to the important matter of more than 100,000 people in the entire Huangtou Hui tribe; King Hui is not a fool, if he is used as a spear by the Xia army and causes huge losses, it will not be worth it.
The king of Hui thought for a while and asked the Tatar Khan, "I don't know how many troops the Khan has sent."
The Tatar Khan said without concealment: "There are 20,000 elite soldiers, led by Ben Khan himself, all of whom are warriors of my Tatar department. ” "Okay, in this case, this king can't be left behind, this king has sent 30,000 elite soldiers, and they are all the most elite warriors in my Hui Hui, and this time this time this king personally led the troops there."
King Hui finally made up his mind and said.
Yang Shousu thanked the king of Hui and said: "Then thank you to the king, in addition to these boxes of treasures, the foreign ministers also prepared several Western Xia beauties for the king." ” After Yang Shousu finished speaking, several women in palace clothes walked in, and the king of Hui saw such a beautiful woman drooling, and while looking at it, he thought about the Khan and asked: "Emperor Xia must have also sent a beautiful woman to the Khan."
"The beauties of Xia are much stronger than these prairie women, one is very smart, and she has another taste when she goes to bed at night," Tatar Khan laughed as he gulped mare's milk wine.
The banquet, which was originally relatively serious, instantly became a place to talk about women; Although the grassland people are upright and cheerful, they are not stupid and can be in charge of a king of a tribe of more than 100,000 people in this troubled world.
After the Hui King and the Tatar Khan agreed to send troops, the next day the two combined troops of 50,000 marched to Guazhou, at this time the 50,000 army led by Li Yanzong had also arrived in Guazhou, and the two armies combined a total of 100,000 troops crowded in this small Guazhou city.
Guazhou is also known as the Xiping Military Division is the westernmost military division of the Western Xia, where the Western Xia garrison 3,000 troops to protect the western frontier of the Western Xia, from the Xiping Military Division to the west is Shazhou and Guyumen Pass, where has reached the westernmost point of the Western Xia.
Guazhou, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the coalition army.
Li Yanzong sat on the handsome seat, with the King of Hui and the Tatar Khan on both sides, and a spy was reporting the military situation to Li Yanzong and others at this time.
"General, the front line military report that the Black Khan's army is storming Jiaohe City, and the Uighur Khan King sent an urgent letter asking for help again, asking the general to send troops quickly."
The spy said to Li Yanzong.
"The two kings are in crisis in Jiaohe City, so what General Ben means is that tomorrow's army will support the Uighur Khan along the northern front, I don't know what the two princes think," Li Yanzong asked the two.
"I would like to listen to the general's orders."
The two said to Li Yanzong together.
Since the two of them came to Guazhou to see the Western Xia army, the eyes of the two people are about to fall, the Western Xia army is well-equipped, even the worst equipped border army is mostly equipped with this iron armor, and the weapons cannot be said, on the other hand, the armies of the two tribes, those who can wear leather armor are elite, and the iron armor is only available to generals above the commander of a thousand commanders.
