Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 403 Is This Jiang Gan Stealing Books?
It was late at night, but the dinner for the Khitan people to entertain the envoys of the Guiyi Army had just ended.

Wu Da'er embraced from left to right, surrounded by two strong Khitan beauties, making him so happy.

Not only him, but even those with some status in the Guiyi Army's envoys were accompanied by beauties, and even the most inferior ones could not afford enough wine and meat.

They had been besieging Xiazhou City for nearly six months, and they had already suffered enough. Wu Da'er did not restrain them.

The members of the missions ate meat and drank in big bowls, not to mention how happy they were.

As for Huixing monk Yang He and several monks from Dayun Temple, they were invited by Yelu Deguang to explain Buddhist scriptures to the Khitan nobles.

The fine tea bricks from Hexi and the sweet tea made from fine sugar, the fine sandalwood from Youzhou, and Yelu Deguang himself knows the Dharma quite well.

Yang He, the monks, and the Khitan nobles also had a happy conversation.

When passing by Cao Yanjing's tent, Wu Da'er purposely reached out and kneaded the bodies of the two Khitan beauties, making the two unrestrained Khitan 'big horses' coquettish and coquettish.

Of course Wu Da'er knew what the Khitan people wanted to do, and with the 'kung fu' of the two beauties beside him, he probably wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow morning, and of course it would be impossible to get up at night.

. . . .

"But Vice Envoy Cao of Guiyi Army? Please sit down."

In a tent with a very Chinese style, Cao Yanjing saw a scribe in a blue round-neck shirt.

"Exactly, I'm Cao Yanjing, I'm the deputy envoy of the Guiyi Army. I don't know which official of the Shang Kingdom you are?" Cao Yanjing seemed a little cautious.

"Hey! You can't be called the deputy envoy of Cao, but I am Situ of the Great Khitan Kingdom and Han Kuangye, the envoy of the Tiancheng Army."

Speaking of being modest, Han Kuangye was not at all modest.

"People of the wilderness, pay homage to Shangguo Situ!"

As soon as Cao Yanjing heard that although the other party was dressed in Han Chinese, but his surname was Han and he was a vain-job Situ, and he was actually awarded a township, he knew that the big fish was coming, and he was about to bow down immediately.

"No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite!" Han Kuangye hurried to help Cao Yanjing. This would require information from others, so of course he had to be more polite.

"Your envoy is a Han from Hexi. A certain Han is from the grassland. Everyone has a home and can't go back. You should get closer."

Hearing that Han Kuangye used his identity as a Han Chinese who was also controlled by foreigners to get close, Cao Yanjing sighed, raised his head slightly, and squinted at the top of the tent.

I began to think back to my grandfather Cao Yijin, who often expressed his respect for the identity of the Han people and his nostalgia for his hometown, and slowly began to accumulate emotions.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, a little bit of tears accumulated in Cao Yanjing's eyes, his eyes were slightly red, his expression was a little moved but hesitant to speak, and he interpreted the feeling of being wronged and unable to complain very vividly.

"Although Han Situ was born in Khitan, the Khitan Kingdom has admired Wenhua in the Central Plains for a long time, so it can be regarded as a country of Wenhua.

Now that they have obtained Yanyun sixteen prefectures and other Han lands, just like the Xianbei and Northern Dynasties in the past, how can it be considered that they have a home and cannot return?
I belonged to Hu Huan, a group of rebels, and only Sha and Su prefectures were considered homeless. "

After all, Han Kuangye said that he was full of enthusiasm. In fact, he had a little inferiority complex for his family being in Khitan.

This time Cao Yanjing compared Khitan with North Korea's inferiority, exactly what Han Kuangye thought in his heart, how could he not let him be elated, and immediately gave Cao Yanjing a high look.

And he also heard the implication in Cao Yanjing's mouth.

This piece of King Han has Hexi and Longyou all, but this person only talks about Sha and Su prefectures.

The king of Han returned to Han with eighteen states, but this person is still talking about being surrounded by Huns, so there must be something inside.

Thinking of this, Han Kuangye slowed down his speech and began to lead the topic to what he had thought up. He had to confirm Cao Yanjing's identity first.

"The deputy envoy's surname is Cao? I don't know what to call the Duke of Qiaojun Cao Gongyi Jin?"

Cao Yijin has mastered the Guiyi Army for more than ten years, if he deliberately looks for information, he can still find it.

Cao Yanjing was flattered and cupped his hands, "Master Situ also knows Cao Linggong of the Guiyi Army? It is my grandfather!"

Done!Han Kuangye was even more excited, he showed a strange expression on purpose.

"Duke Cao Ling once sent envoys to our Great Khitan Kingdom to congratulate Yingtian Empress Dowager on her longevity, of course I know.

It's just that there is one thing that is unclear. Your lord, the king of Han in Hexi, was also the envoy of the rebel army? "

Cao Yanjing's face showed a look of entanglement and fierce inner struggle. His lips were slightly parted, his hands were clenched into fists, his fingertips were a little white due to excessive force, and his chest was heaving violently.

Han Kuangye was overjoyed, there was indeed an inside story, he took a step closer to Cao Yanjing, and looked directly into Cao Yanjing's eyes.

"Although it was the first time I met the deputy envoy, it seemed like we hadn't seen each other for many years.

That's all!That's all!Let me just say it bluntly, it is the intention of His Majesty the Great Khitan Kingdom to invite the deputy envoy here today.

Any grievances that the deputy envoy has, you can tell them. If there is any injustice, His Majesty is generous, benevolent, forgiving and compassionate to all people in the world, and will definitely help the deputy envoy to avenge it! "

Cao Yanjing also felt that it was almost time, so he cried out loudly, tugged at Han Kuangye's sleeve and knelt down with a puff, then raised his head, and only cried snot and tears.

How sad you want to be, how wronged you are, how wronged you are.

"That Zhang Zhao relied on the support of his uncle Khotan, the king of the Jin Kingdom, to rob my Cao family's foundation. To return to the Han is to destroy the Han!
Now Hexi is full of barbarians, the Cao family can’t get justice for their grievances, my father died of illness fifteen days ago, that Zhang Zhao even refused to ask the imperial court for a posthumous title, let my father be buried as a commoner, Cao is not filial ! "

If Zhang Zhao were here, he would know that those old people in Dunhuang must be beheaded, exiled, and imprisoned.

Because the first half of Cao Yanjing's crying was the words Cao Yuanshen talked about every day.

Han Kuangye was extremely excited, and felt that he would be able to gain insight into the reality of Hexi immediately, and he could also grasp a Cao family. What a credit this is!
He pulled Cao Yanjing up and promised again and again.

"Deputy envoy, please tell us all about Zhang Zhao's affairs one by one. Don't worry, His Majesty of the Great Khitan Kingdom will look after you, and any grievances will be resolved!"

Cao Yanjing was so moved that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow again, Han Kuangye persuaded him again, and then Cao Yanjing explained the matter in detail.

The two talked for an hour, and after sending Cao Yanjing away, Han Kuangye began to write a report to Yelu Deguang, because he finally figured out everything about Zhang Zhao in Hexi.

It turns out that this son is the great-grandson of Zhang Yichao, the Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army in the past. Now he has all the Hexi Longyou, and he has also taken down the Dingnan Army.

There are hundreds of generals under his command, more than [-] armored cavalry, more than [-] elite guards, and more than [-] light cavalry from various tribes.

He was in Longyou, Hexi, and he said he was going to return to the Han, but in fact he relied on the support of various gangsters, parties, and Uighurs.

The Hunhe battle a few months ago was actually because they were deceived by Fuzhou Zhejia, thinking that the Great Khitan was going to interfere with their capture of Xiazhou.

Zhang Zhao's original intention was to deter them, but his generals made things worse privately for the sake of military exploits.

Han Kuangye believed in this situation, because not only the generals of Hexi soldiers did this, but also the soldiers of the Central Plains and the leaders of the various tribes of Khitan.

However, although King Han of Hexi is quite powerful, he has many internal conflicts.

The Han people in Hexi, mainly in Sha and Su prefectures, complained quite a lot, and in the southern prefectures of Qin and Wei, they were also dissatisfied with Zhang Zhao's policy of emphasizing the use of Gamo, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups to separate morality.

In the end, Han Kuangye came to the conclusion that Zhang Zhao has a certain strength, but internal problems are not small, and it is difficult to compete with the Great Khitan for the time being.

If it can stir up internal disputes, it is not difficult to deal with, but it is not suitable for the current moment when the contradictions have not completely intensified, so go hostile to it.

. . . .

On the second day of the secret talks between Han Kuangye and Cao Yanjing, Wu Da'er and others returned to the rebel army, one officer, two officers, and three envoys, and they were formally interviewed.

During the past few days, Wu Da'er visited the Khitan nobles everywhere, sending tea bricks, rock sugar, white sugar, Khotan jade, and Hexi horses free of charge.

Even Yelu Deguang's uncle, Yelu Anduan, took in a strong folded ear horse, and his impression of Wu Da'er and others changed greatly.

Wu Da'er worshiped below, while Yelu Deguang thought on it.

Following the information collected by Han Kuangye, Yelu Deguang had a detailed understanding of Zhang Zhao. Of course, this detail is what he thought.

In Yelude's eyes, Zhang Zhao is a master who is very scheming and capable of commanding.

It belongs to the typical leader of a small country (tribe) who has a group of strong combatants but is otherwise in a mess.

Yelu Deguang has seen this kind of people a lot in the grasslands and mountains of Liaodong, such as those straight women deep in the forest.

However, most of them either became minions of the Yelu family in the end, or were wiped out by the Yelu family.

The difference between Zhang Zhao and them is that they occupy the land of Hexi, which is relatively rich compared with the grasslands and mountains in Liaodong.

Born in a Han family, he can read some words, but his vision and methods are better.

He can be regarded as a hero in his life, but compared with a king of sage and martial arts like him, he is much worse.

"Ambassador Jiedu of Longyou, Hexi Province of the Great Jin Kingdom, envoy of Guiyi Army, King Zhang Zhao of Han, sent a special envoy to meet the emperor of Shang Kingdom.

A hand-copied copy of the Great Riding Sutra by King Bosni of the Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu.

There is one beauty from the Saman Persian royal family and the Tianzhu Xiaxi royal family.

A sweaty Pegasus.

One hundred bolts of colored silk from Khotan, one hundred catties of rock sugar, two hundred catties of white sugar, and three hundred catties of high-quality tea bricks. "

Whoa!When this gift list came out, the Khitan nobles and senior Han officials in the entire imperial tent were shocked.

This gift list doesn't talk about the value, but judging by the name, it's very bluffing.

White sugar, rock sugar and tea bricks from Hexi are the most high-end luxury goods in the Khitan Kingdom, and ordinary officials and small tribal leaders cannot afford them.

Not to mention the Buddhist scriptures handwritten by the sweaty Pegasus and Sakyamuni's best friend King Bosni, this is a priceless treasure!
Even that noble beauty was almost ignored by everyone.

While singing the newspaper, Huixing monk Yang He presented Buddhist scriptures with colorful silk cloth and a treasure box.

In the entire big tent, all the Khitan nobles immediately began to chant the Buddha's name, even Yelu Deguang was no exception, making it seem like they were holding a water and land ceremony.

"Arrange fast horses, dispatch a hundred leather guards to escort, and immediately send the Buddhist scriptures to the Queen Mother, and pray for the longevity of the Queen Mother!"

It has to be said that Yelu Deguang still didn't say anything to his mother, Shuluping. He only read the Buddhist scriptures once, then touched them lightly, and asked someone to send them to his mother quickly.

The next thing that came in was the sweaty horse given by Zhang Zhao.

This kind of horse includes the second and third generations of mixed blood. Zhang Zhao only found more than [-] horses in Ningyuan (Fergana Basin).

He kept [-] horses, and when [-] horses returned to the east, under careful care, there are now less than [-] horses, which are absolutely extremely precious.

The horse that Zhang Zhao sent was a worn-out stallion with a shoulder height of more than five feet and a height of about 1.6 meters.

This is a very terrifying height. You must know that the average war horse is four feet four five inches high at the shoulder, which is about 1.4 meters.

Standing in the tent, this five-foot-tall Han blood horse was taller than many generals, and if you counted its head held high, it was like a giant.

Yelu Deguang was stunned. He had seen such horses before, but they were usually wild horse kings.

It's not easy to catch, and it's extremely difficult to tame if caught, and it doesn't have this reddish-looking fur color that looks high-end.

The Khitan emperor, after a moment of shock, stepped down from his seat himself.

He raised his head, pushed away the guards in front of him, and gently stroked the horse's head.

The horse snorted tamely, and stretched its neck to lick the hem of Yelude's bare dress.

"This is a Pegasus!" Yelu Deguang sighed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! I got this Pegasus!" After he sighed, all the Khitan and Han officials flattered him.
