Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 266
Yi Nan's camps were scattered, and after five thousand riders came in, they were soon surrounded by Yi Nan's fifty thousand riders, and the center of the entire encirclement was the big tent where Yi Nan was discussing matters.

The mutton is boiled in the big pot in the center of the tent, which contains a lot of salted fish, bean paste and spices. On the small stove burned with dried cow dung, kumiss is warmed. Since there is little wood in the grassland, dried cow dung is usually used In Sun Xiangfu's opinion, it is a bit wasteful to make fuel. Cow dung should be used as fertilizer.

Of course, this kind of fuel is also very important for nomads, and they have to be used sparingly. Why do so many cattle, sheep and herdsmen freeze to death in winter? The lack of fuel and the inability to keep warm is a key point.

Naturally, Sun Xiangfu had no interest in such wine and meat. After sitting down cross-legged on the sheepskin blanket, he said, "You have had a hard life these days. No wonder your sister is reluctant to leave when she comes to my house."

Hearing this, Yi Nan's complexion turned black, and he had enjoyed the things that Dongzhu entrusted people to send back. It was indeed good. Cihar described Shanyang as heaven, and now, he understood why Xieli Deliberately went south.

There are not only Sun Xiangfu and Yi Nan in the tent, but Sun Xiangfu has Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, Abu Tusi, Zhang Ke and Xue Li on Sun Xiangfu's side, and there are more than a dozen big and round leaders and generals on Yi Nan's side. After Sun Xiangfu satirized Yi Nan, one leader refused to accept it.

"It is this kind of hard life that makes us grassland people not afraid of the cold and grows a strong body. You Han people are indeed rich, but they are full of soft bones."

"Grippy?"

When Sun Xiangfu heard what the leader said, he immediately wanted to laugh. He had planned to come here to show off his high-end military power. Didn't this just give him a chance?He knew that these nomads admired the strong most.

Looking at this Xue Yantuo warrior who weighed about [-] catties with extremely contemptuous eyes, Sun Xiangfu said, "We are weak bones, and with only a few hundred people's losses, we have defeated more than [-] Tuli cavalry head-on." , beheaded [-] people, and captured [-] or [-] people. It is our kind of cartilage, with only [-] riders, we defeated Xieli's [-] troops in one battle, beheaded [-], captured [-], and killed Xieli himself. Captured alive, if we Han people are soft bones, you grassland people are soft flesh without bones? Or, you Xue Yantuo thinks they are stronger than the Turkic army, and want to try my Tang army's edge?"

Sun Xiangfu's words were not polite at all, and instantly overturned Yi Nan's guesses about Sun Xiangfu's character based on some information he had collected by himself.

However, although his words sounded harsh, they were very realistic. The defeat of Tuli and Jieli was actually happening in front of our eyes. Although the Tang army was small in number, they should not be underestimated. Compared with the army of the former Sui Dynasty, they were stronger. more than one grade.

"Sanjay, don't be rude."

Yi Nan stopped those subordinates who wanted to spray Sun Xiangfu with Sangjie, then looked at Sun Xiangfu and said, "My department was invited by Dudu Sun to come to the horse race to compete with arrows. I don't know, Dudu Sun treats us guests , how will it be arranged?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "The place where the horse race and the arrow match is in Shanyang City, I wonder if the leader of Yinan dares to go?"

"Go to Shanyang City? Sun Dudu dares to let my troops into the city?" Yi Nan asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu said with a faint smile, "Why don't you dare? However, the surrounding area of ​​Shanyang City is full of reclaimed fields, which cannot stand horses. The leader of the barbarians can station a large group of troops here and lead thousands of light cavalry into the city. , as soon as the food and grass are provided, I will arrange it in the city."

"No, this is a strategy of the Han people! Once I go to Shanyang with a small number of Qingqi, they will definitely besiege me..."

"Hehehe, if I want to deal with you, why should I lie to you to go to Shanyang? Even in this camp, it is easy for me to kill you. Don't think that if you have a large number of people, you can surround us. If you don't believe me, you You can try it."

Several leaders and generals under Yi Nan wanted to persuade Yi Nan, but were interrupted by Sun Xiangfu's loud laughter. After hearing his extremely arrogant words, all of them immediately showed unkind expressions.

At this time, Xi Junmai, under the signal of Sun Xiangfu's eyes, had already stepped into the hall, pointed to a group of Xue Yantuo on the opposite side and said, "The small people in the border area don't know how to respect me, Tang Tianwei, and it's simply to save the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It's ridiculous, I'll let you know today that the governor of my family dared to invite you to Shanyang to be our guests, out of pity for your hardships in the bitter cold of the Mobei grassland, but not because of worrying about your own use of force and provoking border troubles. In the eyes of my chief superintendent, your trivial tricks are nothing worth mentioning. In this account, one person counts as one person, one-on-one, or together. Today, I will let you experience me. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are very powerful."

Even though Yi Nan was unwilling to go to war with Datang, when he was provoked by this kind of provocation, he became annoyed in his heart, kept his face silent, but gave Sanjie a look.

This Sang Jie has been fighting with Yi Nan for many years, and his martial arts can be regarded as one of the top few people in Xue Yantuo's department. With his big arms and round waist, he has great strength, and even a running horse can be overthrown by him. Going up, Xi Junmai, who is not too strong, after receiving Yi Nan's gaze, Sang Jieteng jumped up from the sheepskin blanket, stretched his neck, and stared at Xi Junmai with fierce eyes, Step by step into the center of the hall.

"Junmai, don't hurt people."

In such a tense atmosphere, Sun Xiangfu's relaxed words made Sanjie lose his power in an instant. Now, instead of watching Xi Jun buy it like a prey, he was a little crazy and wanted to buy it. Xi Jun buys and shreds.

When the punches and kicks are right, you don't rely on brute force to win, especially a kung fu master like Xi Junmai who was born as a knight-errant. So far, the two strongest people he has encountered, Su Dingfang and Xue Li, have no punches and kicks. Beating him proves that Xi Junmai's boxing skills are among the top in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Regarding Sangjie's tiger pounce, Xi Junmai just turned around easily and dodged it. By the way, he hooked Sangjie's ribs and said with a relaxed smile, "If it weren't for the words of my superintendent, the punch just now Your ribs are broken."

Sangjie, who had been punched by Xi Junmai under his ribs, was in great pain. His thick arm turned around and lashed at Xi Junmai. However, regardless of his thick wrist, he was immediately held by Xi Junmai. With a kick behind Sanjie's knee, he fell to his knees, unable to turn back.

"With your level, you are not as good as the gangsters in Chang'an City! I think you should go together!"

Xi Junmai looked proudly at the group of generals under Yi Nan, who were about to be provoked, and when they rushed forward, he was stopped by Yi Nan's voice.

"Wait a minute, my prairie man's ability is on horseback, you don't want to play tricks on other people's fists and kicks."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu knew better that it was not accidental that this Yiman could become big in the grassland. There are not many wise people on the grassland, and Yinan is one of them, and most of his subordinates don't have such a thing, so he Can easily control them.

Sun Xiangfu likes to talk about things with wise people the most. He signaled Xi Junmai to let go of Sangjie with his eyes, and said with a smile, "Since the soldiers and generals under you are interested, why don't we let them play outside the tent? Let's talk about something."

"It's so good, you're going to compete, and go outside the account!"

With a wave of Yi Nan's hand, the leaders and generals of his subordinates retreated. Seeing that they looked at Xi Junmai and the others with angry expressions on their faces, Sun Xiangfu mobilized Su Dingfang and whispered, "Just teach me a lesson." , don’t kill anyone.”

"The end will know."

Su Dingfang led the generals down, and Sun Xiangfu looked at Yi Nan and said, "Leader Yi Nan, I don't know what you think about some of the suggestions mentioned in the letter by the governor earlier?"

"Surrender to Datang?"

"Of course, your Xue Yantuo tribe originally surrendered to the Turks, and now the Turks have been wiped out by my Tang Dynasty. Jieli and Tuli have become prisoners of my Tang Dynasty. Your Xue Yantuo tribe surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, it is not shameful."

"I, Xue Yantuo, unified Mobei. There are millions of people, enough to form a country of its own. Why do you have to submit to Tang? Do you have a law for my bitter and cold grassland?" Yi Nan's expression was serious, staring at Sun Xiangfu's eyes said.

"Yes! That's great. You haven't seen the development of Shanyang City. Now, the family members of the Tang Dynasty are very enthusiastic about these bitter and cold places outside the pass. If you can't surrender to the minister earlier, it is estimated that It won't be long before those aristocratic families will organize your troops in the court, and by then, I'm afraid your Xue Yantuo troops will not be able to stop my Great Tang's iron cavalry." Sun Xiangfu said in a somewhat provocative tone.

"I, Xue Yantuo, can't stop Tang's cavalry?"

Yi Nan raised his voice as if he heard some joke.

"Why, you still don't believe me? Why don't we make a bet. Now, we haven't gone outside to watch the soldiers under our subordinates fight against each other. No matter how many games they fight in the end, as long as your Xue Yantuo beats my soldiers In one case, the governor will not mention the matter of your ministry surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. If the so-called warriors of your Xue Yantuo tribe fail to win a game, then you will listen to me and surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

You know, the soldiers under me are not the most powerful in the Tang Dynasty. The expeditionary army under General Li Jing and the Xuanjia Army directly under His Majesty the Emperor are much stronger than these generals like me. "

Hearing this, Yi Nan's heart was moved, and he said, "I won't surrender to the Tang Dynasty if I only win one game, so how many games will I win?"

"If your warriors can defeat my soldiers several times in a row, it proves that Xue Yantuo's soldiers will be stronger than my Tang Dynasty. Not only will I not give you any suggestion to become a minister, but I will also send food, grass and coal for you Xue Yantuo's family spends the winter, and from now on, Xue Yantuo's family can come to Shanyang to purchase as much as they want if they have needs for grain, coal, iron, salted fish, bean paste, tea, etc. My Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will not limit the quantity."

Sun Xiangfu seemed very generous.

In fact, this is a pitfall. Although he has confidence in Su Dingfang and others, the martial arts of Abu Tusi and Zhang Ke are not top-notch, especially Zhang Ke. What he practices is the ability to protect people. He is better at using new equipment, so outside, if there are really ruthless people in Xue Yantuo's department who challenge them one-on-one for a round, it is possible to lose a round or two.

However, regardless of victory or defeat, with this agreement, the war between Xue Yantuo's tribe and Datang should not be able to fight, and whether the ministers call it or not, in fact Xue Yantuo still maintains autonomy, and Datang also occupies no It’s just in the name of practical use, and these things mentioned by Sun Xiangfu are very much needed by Xue Yantuo’s department. Once the sale and supply agreement is reached, Xue Yantuo’s department will be inseparable from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, because it’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant , It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Without Shanyang, a large manufacturing machine, to make things here, Xue Yantuo would not be able to enjoy these good things.

What Sun Xiangfu wants is not to start a war for the time being. After a year or two, the fields outside the customs are developed, the villages, forts, and cities are all built. If they want to fight again, it will not be so easy to fight. At that time In order to protect their own vested interests, the sons and daughters of the aristocratic family will unite to the outside world. Not only will Xue Yantuo's material supply be cut off, but a huge number of people will gather to fight against it. It's like mobilizing tens of thousands of soldiers in just one day.

　The first chapter of the new year, I wish you all a happy new year, all the best, and a prosperous year of the dog.I also wish me good health and better completion of this book. If you have friends who read late at night, don’t forget to give a reward, send a red envelope or something, it must be good intentions.
