Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 187 Mobei Rent Collection
Hearing Long Feiyu's tepid answer, the Goguryeo envoy wanted to get angry.But remembering the [-] troops, he still held back his words and said: "Being good at using swords is not good for the people of the two countries. The marshal should think about it carefully."

Seeing the shameless stalking of the Goguryeo envoy, Long Feiyu smiled and said: "The peace talks should look like peace talks. Did your prime minister only let you have a mouth? Didn't he tell you that the peace talks are necessary?" Bleeding."

"What do you mean by bloodletting?" The Goguryeo envoy looked at Long Feiyu suspiciously.

One sentence made Long Feiyu lose the intention of continuing the conversation, and he waved his hand and said: "Go back and tell your prime minister that he doesn't see the relationship between the two countries very clearly. You tell him that I will go to Pyongyang after a while. At that time, I will tell him the terms of the peace talks."

Hearing that Long Feiyu was going to Pyongyang, the envoy nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Since the marshal is going to Pyongyang, then there is no need to talk about it, everything will be discussed after the marshal goes to Pyongyang."

Long Feiyu nodded, handed over a wax-sealed bamboo tube and said: "This is a document I gave to your prime minister, hand it to your prime minister, and tell him that I will be there soon."

After Long Feiyu said this, the messenger had no choice but to bow and leave.

As the envoy left, Wang Zhuo looked at Long Feiyu wonderingly, "Marshal, what are we going to do in Pyongyang?"

"What are you doing? Naturally, I'm going to take back the control of Xuantu County. It's spring now. Although the horses have just fattened up, Koguryo is mostly a city and doesn't need many horses. Go and see the [-] troops dispatched by His Majesty arrive. No, if it’s time to rectify the army and prepare to go.”

"Yes"

Not to mention Long Feiyu in Liaodong, the army led by Su Dingfang had already entered Mobei at this time.Xue Yantuo, who occupied Mobei, also got the news at this time.

Looking at the military newspaper in front of him, Mo Du said nervously: "Khan, how should we treat this Tang Jun who came to ask for his crimes?"

Yi Nan sighed and said: "If Ben Khan has a general like Long Feiyu under his command, why should he be afraid of the Tang Dynasty at this time. The Tang Dynasty has a city in Mobei, where they can station troops, and try not to conflict with the Tang army , sent envoys to make peace, saying that we will definitely catch those bandits and give Tang Jun justice."

"Why don't we try to fight Tang Jun?" Mo Du asked with some doubts.

"Hey, why don't I want to dominate the grasslands? Those hateful Tang troops control the vast grasslands and don't do grazing, but look at the tribes of Huihe and Tiele who don't want us to offend the Tang Dynasty and die like the Turks. They can replace them. The Tang Dynasty's support for those small tribes has already explained everything. If we don't mention whether we can fight or not, if we give Tang Chao an excuse, then we will be in trouble. Long Feiyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp If Goguryeo didn't provoke them this time, we would be in danger. Now the Goguryeo envoys are blocked from negotiating peace, and Long Feiyu even threatened to use Changbai Mountain as the boundary. This is to kill Goguryeo. We can't go Their old way." Yi Nan sighed while analyzing the surrounding situation to Modu.

"Then what if the Tang Dynasty wants us to hand over those looting robbers?" Mo Du looked at Yi Nan worriedly.

Yi Nan said with a gloomy face: "Go to the forest in the north and kill five or six thousand men and hand them over to the Han people, saying that we understand for them."

"Lin Shuzhong has not surrendered yet. It will be difficult for us to recover after killing so many people."

"I'll talk about this later, first send the army of the Han Dynasty away."

The two were talking, when suddenly the guard came to report: "Big man, the Tang Dynasty envoy has arrived."

"Tang envoy? Why did you come so fast? Modu, let the leaders of the ministries come to the military tent."

He had heard for a long time that the army of the Tang Dynasty was coming, and the guilty heads of various ministries gathered in the direction of the royal court one by one, so it didn't take long for Modu to gather the chiefs of the various ministries and came to the military tent of the royal court. .

Seeing the arrival of the heads of various ministries, Yinan waved his hand and said, "Let Tang envoy come in."

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in Tang suit came in. The man looked around and asked directly, "Which one is the leader of Xue Yantuo, Yinan Khan?"

Seeing that the Tang envoy asked knowingly and clearly wanted to give Yi Nan a disgrace, Yi Nan snorted dissatisfiedly: "Didn't the Tang envoy see that there is only one master in this big tent?"

Hearing this sentence, the Tang envoy hesitated for a moment and then apologized with a smile: "It turns out that your Excellency is Yi Nan Khan, I am not very clear about your Xue Yantuo's etiquette, I thought that only us Tang Dynasty people would set up a sovereign position. Sorry sorry."

The Tang envoy's words made Yi Nan very angry. It is simply a fantasy that you don't know the other party's rules when you are an envoy, but he is not easy to pursue.He could only laugh and say: "Those who don't know are not guilty, what's the use of sending envoys from Heaven Khan if they don't know?"

The Tang envoy laughed and said: "I think Khan, you are knowingly asking. In the third year of Tang envoy Zhenguan, I signed an alliance with you, the marshal of the frontier, and agreed to lease the vast grassland east of Yanran Mountain for Xue Yantuo to herd horses. Xue Yantuo only needs to pay me [-] cattle and [-] horses as rent every year. It has been six years now, but you, Xue Yantuo, have not handed over a single horse. Several reprimands.

But Marshal Long never brought up this matter because he has a good relationship with you, Xue Yantuo.Up to now, the food, grass and horses of our dynasty have been robbed repeatedly in Mobei, and I am furious towards the emperor.Order me to Marshal Chaolong to bring back the horses, cattle and sheep. Out of desperation, our Marshal had no choice but to order me to come to ask for it. Please Khan see that I have been responsible for Marshal Chaolong for so many years. The owed cattle and horses will be returned. "

It was thought that the Tang envoy came to inquire about the looting of grain and grass, but who would have thought that he would come to ask for debts.This not only made Yi Nan's eyes widen, but even the leaders were shocked at this moment.

Helpless, Yi Nan had no choice but to argue strongly: "Emissary Tang's words are unfair. As early as the first year of Zhenguan, you led the army to the Marshal to help Xue Yantuo take it back. Since then, Mobei has belonged to me, Xue Yantuo. Come to pay the rent?"

Tang envoy shook his head and said: "Khan's memory is really bad. In the first year of Zhenguan, there was a heavy snowfall in Mobei, and the Turkic people stayed away from Mobei. But in the second year of Zhenguan, they still drove you, Xue Yantuo, back to the west of Yanran Mountain. In the third year of Zhenguan Our dynasty dispatched a large army to wipe out the Turkic tribes, and this Mobei has been subordinate to our dynasty since then. When did it belong to you, Xue Yantuo?"

Listening to Tang envoy's talk, Yi Nan couldn't tell the difference. He thought it was just a joke when Long Feiyu said this, but who would have thought it was true.Now the six-year arrears cost 30 cattle and 12 horses. This seems to be just a series of numbers, but even the Turks, who were in great power at the time, did not dare to squander like this, let alone Xue Yantuo at this time is only a temporary It is only a country with a population of 30. Even if it absorbs many small ethnic groups, it is only 40 people at this time. Where can we find these cattle and sheep?

But Mobei belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This is an undeniable fact. Seeing Yi Nan dumbfounded, the Tang envoy sighed and said: "You really don't know how to do things. Originally, the marshal suppressed this matter for you. My Tang Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, no one would think of these things, but you and others have repeatedly plundered my dynasty’s luggage, which reminds people who are interested. Hurry up and deliver the cattle and horses, don’t make it difficult for our marshal. Your Majesty originally The Marshal sent us to Xue Yantuo, but our Marshal was afraid that it would be difficult for you, so we decided to go to Liaodong temporarily."

Listening to the envoy Tang's talk, Yi Nan looked at the leaders of the various ministries with embarrassed eyes.If there is a fight with the Tang Dynasty, maybe these people are so afraid that they can still pick up swords and guns, but at this time the people of the Tang Dynasty are not fighting and come to ask for things, which makes it difficult for a group of people.

Mobei was occupied by the Han regime at this time, but because Mobei is too far away from the Han regime, it is often ignored, but who would have thought that this hateful Long Feiyu could still remember this, this It can be fatal in one fell swoop.

Yi Nan looked around, and could only speak silently: "That's all right, envoy Tang goes down to rest first, how about we discuss it later?"

"Okay then, I'll wait for your reply as soon as possible." Envoy Tang walked out of the big tent impatiently.

Watching Tang envoy go away, a tribal leader said angrily: "The Tang people are too bullying, let's fight them."

"Fighting? You know it. Now people are here to ask for debts. If we let the ministries know that we don't pay back the debts and openly start a war against the debt collectors, then our reputation, Xue Yantuo, will be ruined. If we go to war, if we get all the cattle and horses they want It’s not too bad to get it back after giving it to them.” Yi Nan said angrily.

But speaking unintentionally, listening to intentions, a burly man stood up and said: "Khan, you are right, we are preparing the army while collecting cattle and horses for the Han people, once the Han people receive the cattle and horses, we will start to fight back How is it?"

The strong man said happily, but Yi Nan hesitated and said: "The people of the Tang Dynasty originally stationed [-] troops in Mobei, and now they have brought [-] troops. Can we succeed in doing this?"

The brawny man sneered and said, "Khan, 15 soldiers are nothing. We have [-] elite soldiers. It's easy to beat him with [-] soldiers. This Mobei is full of desolate neighbors. He from the Tang Dynasty didn't So much money is invested here.”

Hearing the strong man's words, Yi Nan nodded silently and said, "Okay, let's do this."

"Khan, this matter is not allowed. Long Feiyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If he is angered, it will be difficult to negotiate a peace." Seeing Yi Nan agreeing to this matter, Mo Du anxiously stopped .

Yi Nan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once conquered the Xiongnu in the north, and that battle consumed all the national power of the Han Dynasty. Now we are not afraid, at worst, we will go far away to the west of Yanran Mountain. I think he is from the Tang Dynasty. It’s impossible to catch up to Yanran Mountain.”

Saying this, Yi Nan seemed to have made up his mind and waved his hands: "Go, please come here."

After a while, an envoy from the Tang Dynasty came in.Yi Nan didn't have any extra words, and said directly: "Please tell your marshal that we will get the cattle and horses together within half a month, and then we will personally deliver them to the Mobei capital."

"If that's the case, I'll take my leave." Envoy Tang turned around and left after speaking.

Watching Tang Envoy leave, Mo Du said, "Khan, where are we going to find so many cattle and horses? The horses are easy to talk about, but the cattle are not enough to count the whole Xue Yantuo."

"Don't be afraid, these oxen and horses are just taken to Mobei for a walk, to inform the Huihe countries to borrow oxen from them."

"What if they don't borrow it?"

"Don't borrow it? Let them see how sharp Xue Yantuo's knife is."
