The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 279 Chapter 260 Eight Turks Send Information Secretly

The Imperial Envoy King's military rations were robbed, and he fell ill all over from shock. He lay down in his tent for four or five days before he came out to show his face.

The old prince comforted him with kind words for a long time before his mood gradually stabilized.

The imperial commissioner Wang privately said to the old prince: "Old prince, I have lost my lord to the court when I escorted you the army rations this time. Don't tell the people in the court that you have returned to the court!

If the officials in the DPRK know about this, why don't they laugh at me for not being good at things?If the Holy Majesty finds out about this, then how can I go to court in the future? "

The old prince laughed when he heard this.

"Master Imperial Envoy, don't worry, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, who and what kind of person, don't any of us know?
Don't worry, no matter how ignorant I am, Lao Qiu, I won't talk about such bad things in court. Don't you know what kind of person I am, Lao Qiu?
Lord Wang, I have written a memorial to the emperor here. You can take it back and hand it in for me. I have been here for such a long time, and I have been busy with military affairs all day long. I have never written a memorial to His Majesty. This time Just take it back for me. "

"Well, no problem, no problem. Isn't this a trivial matter? Prince Qiu, don't worry, I know how to deal with this matter."

After finishing speaking, the imperial envoy assembled the memorial that the old prince handed over.

The old prince said with a smile, "Lord Wang, when I go back to Beijing this time, I will ask you to bring me some presents for the emperor. Let our emperor be happy."

"Really? Then you want me to bring some gifts back to the emperor? Can you let me know now?"

"Hey, what's the matter? Didn't we seize some military horses recently, you can take them back, the old emperor will be happy to see it."

"Really? How many horses do you want me to bring back to the old emperor?"

"Not many, just [-] horses, Mr. Wang, such a big gift, do you think the old emperor will be unhappy when he sees it?"

"My God! The Wang family is a thousand years old, are you kidding me? Get so many horses back?
Do I have that much ability? "

"Hey, Lord Wang, I will send you [-] soldiers to watch over your escort, how can I worry about all of them?
Mr. Wang, take these things back. Not only will I show my face, but you will also show your face. Mr. Wang, you should think about it carefully.

Of course, if you find it troublesome, or if you are afraid of taking any risks, you don't have to send them back. I can send my son to send these army horses back in person. "

"Hey, the Wang family is thousands of years old. Now that we have talked about it, why didn't I send it off? After all, the road back to Beijing is much safer than the road to this border. I understand this.

What's more, you sent so many soldiers to see you off. I accepted this job, and I will give the old emperor a good face when I go back. I don't believe that there will be no chance of prosperity in the future. "

"Well, that's good. Hey, Imperial Envoy, when are you planning to return to Beijing? Can you tell me?"

"Thousands of years of the Wang family, since you ask me to transport horses back to our majesty, then I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, the king will personally see you off."

"Then I would like to thank the Wang family for thousands of years."

Well, the two of you have agreed on that.

In the morning of the next day, Changping Wang Qiurui led a full battalion of soldiers to send Wang Qin envoy on the road, and then returned to the barracks.

From then on, the barracks finally settled down again, and the soldiers still drilled all day long, and the training never stopped.

Now the trainees have been divided into shifts, Duan Wuji, Tieniu, Qiu Tianbao, Jin Beixiong, Fan Zhang, Zhou Tai, each only watch for one day, and the rest of the time is free for the few.

Duan Wuji is really free now, besides doing exercises every day, he never wastes any time.

As soon as Tieniu saw Duan Wuji like this, he followed Duan Wuji's example and practiced kung fu in the big tent all day long, so the days went by day after day.

This morning, Duan Wuji had just finished his cultivation and was about to go out for a walk, when suddenly Qiu Tianbao stepped in.

"Wuji, Tie Niu, let's go, follow me into the camp of the Chinese army, my father asked me to come and invite you.

Let's go, there is really a big happy event waiting for us today. "

"What happy event, can you tell us in advance? Let us be happy in advance!"

Qiu Tianbao smiled when he heard this.

"You already knew it in the past. Is it still new to tell you in advance? My dear brothers, what do you think?"

"What's the big deal? It's so mysterious? This is nothing more than to appease that person.

Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's go and have a look.Let's see what kind of happy event it is. "

"Brother, you are such a smart person, you can't guess it?"

"I guess what is that thing for? Besides, is there anything I, Duan Wuji, can't figure out?"

"Yo! Yo! Brother, when did you learn how to brag? Is this bragging full?

Let's go on, brother, let's make a bet today, if you can really guess what's going on today, I'll block you with 100 taels of silver.How about it? "

"You bet me 100 taels of silver? Do you have the 100 taels of silver? If you don't have you, don't talk so much. I can get the 100 taels of silver.

Brother Qiu, how about you?I'm afraid you can't do it, right? "

Qiu Tianbao made Duan Wuji speechless. To be honest, Qiu Tianbao could be said to be penniless, and suddenly Duan Wuji got to the point.

This Qiu Tianbao rolled his eyes twice, unable to speak for a long time.

"Brother, your mouth is really poisonous. One mouthful leaves me speechless. But I'm still not reconciled. I don't believe you can figure it out.

Let's go on, tell me something I can do, let's take a gamble, I don't believe I can't beat you today. "

"What can you do? I'm afraid you won't do it! You have to be willing to do that kind of relationship."

"What's the matter, just talk about it? As long as you don't need money."

"Well, all right then.

Let's put it this way, we brothers shouldn't be blushing, how about our brothers working for half a month?
If you lose, within half a month, you will sweep the floor in my account, you will fetch the rice, you will fetch the footwashing water, and you will pour the footwashing water.

If you win, we two brothers will do the things in your account for you, so neither of us can afford to lose this bet. "

Qiu Tianbao laughed out loud.

"Brother, your method is not bad. Okay, let's make a deal. Brother, I will bet with you today. Let's see who can win today."

"No regrets?"

"Brother, look at what you said, once a man speaks a word, it's hard to chase after him, what's there to regret?
These days, I am worried that there is no one I can command. If you two can command me, then I will be content.

Hey, brother, tell me, what is my father's quarrel with you today?Let me hear it. "

"What's the matter? Needless to say, it must be from the Turkic country! Otherwise, how can it be called a great thing?

Hey, Brother Qiu, am I right? "

Qiu Tianbao was stunned when he heard that.

"Brother, how did you guess it? Brother, can you tell me?"

"Brother Qiu, do you think I guessed it right?"

"You guessed right, you guessed right, and if you guess wrong, do I still ask you? Hey, I didn't find this free maid, and now I'm about to become someone else's servant girl. Oh, today's matter Made it, did I let bad luck remind me?"

"Then who knows? Brother Qiu, didn't you say that just now? What kind of gentleman can't chase after a word? You can't say that it doesn't count? This is called willing to gamble and admit defeat.

Brother Qiu, you can go to work in the afternoon. First, clean the tent well. Look how dirty the room is. It hasn’t been cleaned for several days. The washing water is gone. Hurry up and get two buckets. come back. "

"Hey! Brother, can we not play like this? Just after you defeated me, you used me as a slave? Isn't this a bit too unfair?

Hey, brother, you still haven't told me how you guessed it right, brother, I'm not convinced. "

"Brother Qiu, what's so hard to guess? If there's good news from the capital, I guess the Royal Envoy Wang just arrived in the capital. Even if there's good news, he shouldn't be here now, right?
You said that apart from the good news in the capital, isn't that the only good news we have in the west?

Brother Qiu, what do you think? "

"Brother, brother, I'm completely convinced now, it seems that it's a crime to disobey an expert!

Well, let's go quickly, otherwise my father, the old man, should be in a hurry again. "

The three of them talked and laughed and walked straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. After entering the big tent, they saw the youngest Turkic man sitting in the big tent.

Changping Wang Qiu Rui was chatting with this kid with a smile all over his face.

Seeing Duan Wuji and the three of them coming in, the little Turkic man stood up quickly.

"Three major generals, are you back? You see we meet again, it seems that we are really destined!"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Who says it's not? This is called meeting thousands of miles away. Brother, you are here today as a guest of my Great Sui Dynasty. We welcome you this time. .”

The old prince said with a smile: "Wuji, you two are about the same age, right? I think this little Turkic man is also a handsome young man. His talent is as good as yours!"

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Well, he is one year older than me, and I hope he grows up to use his talents to benefit the Turkic people, but please don't make me an enemy of the Sui Dynasty anymore!

It is a good thing to be talented, but if you use it in the wrong place, the harm will be great!

Hey, brother, what are you doing here this time?Can you tell us something? "

The Turkic man looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Today, I came to say goodbye to you at the order of our chief patriarch. This time our chief patriarch was persuaded by you that day. Now our chief patriarch has figured it out. We have decided We also returned to the place where we used to live and thrived in that place.

Live a life of peace and tranquility forever.

We will never take this muddy water again, whoever wants to take it. "

"Well, that's good. You said that the border people of our two countries should trade with each other and communicate with each other! Why do you have to fight to the death.

Hey, how many people do you have on this front line?How long will it take to return? "

We don't have many people here, just a little over [-]. We will retreat from tomorrow, and we will be wiped out in less than two days.

As soon as we retreated, our other allied family also retreated. Our two families have always advanced together. "

"Really? How many of them are there?"

"Their staff is about the same as ours, that is, more than [-] people.

Once our two forces retreat back, your border will be much more stable. Didn’t the two great masters withdraw back a few days ago?
Is it so difficult that they are only allowed to retreat, but we are not allowed to retreat?That's too unfair. "

"Well, that is, that is.

Hey, I said, brother, after you retreat, how many people will remain in this place? "

"Then how much is there? At most, there are still 6 or [-] people left. Is there more?"

"Really? That would be great."

The old prince said with a smile: "Tianbao, don't you ask the chefs in the army to serve wine? Today I want to entertain this guest from afar."

"Old man, no need, the letter has been delivered to me, then I will go back, let's meet later."

After speaking, the little Turkic stood up and walked out.The old prince led the crowd to send him out of the pass again.

Everyone returned to the big tent again, and the old prince said with a smile: "Look, didn't the border calm down a lot? Today we can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. Didn't the frontier return to calm all of a sudden?" Is it clean?"

Qiu Tianbao looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Brother, why did I look at that little Turkic man just now like a fool, why did you ask him what and what did he answer?

Doesn't he know the importance of this information? "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"I said, brother, you really don't have a good brain, the purpose of his coming this time is to betray them, otherwise, you said they are going to retreat, do you think they will tell us so kindly?

None of us is his brother-in-law or his uncle. Do you think this is the truth?

This is tantamount to telling us that there are not many people left, and you can feel free to fight casually. Do you think it makes sense? "

Everyone nodded after hearing this!

"Well, it makes sense, it makes sense."

Changping Wang Qiurui looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji, now that we have obtained this information, do you think we should attack the Turks or not?"

"Well, after three days we will take the initiative to attack. We will find a way to defeat them so that they will never dare to come to our border to make trouble again. Who knows if we will have this chance!"

"No chance? Is that possible? Isn't it just three days or a few days? At that time, the old man will personally lead our more than 1 elite soldiers, and we will deal the most fatal blow to the remaining Turks. Get him a big, brilliant victory.

Hey, let's have another meal together. The boy left just now, and this meal will be cheaper for us.

We really have this oral blessing. "
