Chapter 710 Deterrence, Conditions
"Everyone, please be more energetic!" At the junction of the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, Gongsun Helan rode his newly raised pony Gongsun Xiaobai, and shouted in front of rows of soldiers practicing the formation: "High up, raise your weapons, and shouted to the captain with his life!"
"The fat pig you asked you to eat in the morning is not for nothing. Whoever doesn't work for me will stew it tonight!" Gongsun Helan sat firmly on Gongsun Xiaobai's back, shouting loudly at the five thousand soldiers in front of him, "Don't think I've brought you here to play, please pay attention to this lieutenant. The old man Hou Junji is not a vegetarian. Be careful that he bites half of your life in one bite!"
"Sir, General Yang said, is this just an ordinary exercise? Why are we still..." After hearing Gongsun Helan's words, Jia Shouyi, an adjutant who had been following Gongsun Helan, couldn't help but ask softly. How could this master also pull out Hou Junji?
Thinking of the rebel minister of the Tang Dynasty who is now a general in Gaochang, Jia Shouyi's expression became a little ugly. Could it be that this time, the so-called practical exercises of these five thousand people came for the Hou Junji?
Although the name of a man and the shadow of a tree have never met Hou Junji, he heard that he might confront Hou Junji, and then think about Hou Junji's great achievements in the Tang Dynasty before, and rarely lost in many battles, Adjutant Jia trembled a little, and before the battle, he was terrified, and felt a little timid in his heart.
"Why, are you scared?" With a glaring of his eyes, Gongsun Helan turned his head and glanced at his adjutant with dissatisfaction, and said in a quiet voice: "If you are afraid, get home as soon as possible! An old man full of white hair will scare you like this. If you say it, Gongsun Helan can't afford to lose this person!"
"Uh?" The face was bitterly rude by Gongsun Helan. Jia Shouyi bent slightly, bowed to their captain with a wry smile, and said, "The captain was joking. Facing Hou Junji's veteran who had been through many battles, Yi was timid, but he would never retreat at all. He defended the territory and the place where his life was, the most serious situation was nothing more than death, and guarded Yi was not afraid!"
"Well, this looks like a man!" Xiao glanced at Jia Shouyi, and Gongsun Helan's eyes showed some praise. When she spoke, her tone became a little gentler: "I've been doing this for a few days. If I don't die, you go to the camp to find me and follow this lieutenant in the future."
"Um~?" After hearing Gongsun Helan's words, Jia Shouyi's expression became even more painful. The conscience of heaven and earth. If the words just now could be taken back, he would never say it again. He knew the style of Gongsun Helan. He would undo the bones of people at any time, and no one could stop him.
"The lieutenant favors him, and the villain is very grateful, but," Jia Shouyi said to Gongsun Helan with some luck in his heart: "However, the villain belongs to General Yang's command and has been planning a mission in front of General Yang's tent. It is probably a bit inconvenient to follow Gongsun's side so rashly?"
"There is no inconvenience. This lieutenant likes you. Just come here directly. As for Yang Shuai, this lieutenant will mention it. You don't need to worry about this leisure." He shook his head lightly. No matter what the attitude of Jia Shouyi, the person involved, Gongsun Helan decided to make the matter straight. After that, he waved his hand at Jia Shouyi and gave everything to his subordinates who were not his subordinates. He rode Gongsun Xiaobai alone until he was not far away and went to bed.
"What are you looking at?! Who asked you to stop?! Practice me five hundred times!" Bent over and watched Gongsun Helan leave. Jia Shouyi raised his voice and scolded him, and directly spread all the aggravation in his heart on the soldiers in front of him.
I am a senior official and I am crushed to death. Gongsun Helan can’t afford to offend you, but you are a soldier, can’t I afford to offend you?
Under Jia Shouyi's angrily gaze, the five thousand soldiers brought by Gongsun Helan all shouted and started practicing on the spot with all their might.
"Are you that Liu Yi?" In the Tang Dynasty's Foreign Inn, Gaochang's envoy stared at Liu Yi's body with big eyes, and looked up and down, left and right, curled his lips, muttering in his mouth: "There is nothing special..."
"Why, Lord Chu has also heard of Liu?" He sat down on the free chair in the room without any hesitation. Liu Yi nodded slightly and asked Chu Yi.
Although it was the first time we met, Liu Yi could roughly see Chu Yi's character and character from the words and deeds of the envoy.
He is honest, cheerful, happy and outgoing, and has no scheming. He is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a qualified diplomat. Thinking about the purpose of Gaochang's coming to the court this time, and looking at Chu Yi's human nature, it is not difficult to see that this is an abandoned son who was thrown out by King Gaochang.
"As soon as I entered the Tang Dynasty, I have heard a lot of rumors about the Liu family in Sanyuan." I took my eyes back from Liu Yi's body. Seeing his servant Xu Zheng respectfully handing tea to Liu Yiduan, Chu Yi continued to say softly: "'Liu family plough', 'Liu family water wheel', 'Sanyuan tea', and the recent actions of you collecting Baidiezi in my Gaochang territory. I know. As a businessman and craftsman, you are very good."
Although he did not value merchants much, Chu Yi was somewhat impressed with the Liu Yi in front of him. Not to mention anything else, it was just the "Liu Water Cart". This Liu Yi could indirectly save the lives of the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang, and other countries within the border area, which had no less than 10,000 disaster victims. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has great merit.
"Mr. Chu is too good," feeling the warmth and kindness contained in Chu Yi's words, Liu Yiwen smiled and said politely, took the tea handed over by Xiao Xu, and then said after Xiao Xu left the room, he continued: "I wonder if Lord Chu has been living in the few days since he came to the Tang Dynasty, but he was still comfortable?"
"Uh?" After hearing Liu Yi's question, Chu Yi was stunned, and a depressed arose in his heart. He glanced at Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Lao Liu is worried. I have been doing well in some places these days."
"I heard that the envoy has not gone out for five days. Don't you feel a little stuffy?" Looking up at the expression on Chu Yi's face, Liu Yi spoke softly and tested the envoy's reaction: "Always be stuck in the same room, don't get any sickness for being stuffy..."
"Who do you think you want to stay in this room all the time, right?" Halfway through his speech, Chu Yi swallowed the words below, picked up the tea bowl on the table and slapped it, nodding and saying more.
"But the emperor, he, don't want to summon him?" He continued Chu Yi's words in a quiet voice, and Liu Yi looked up calmly at Chu Yi.
"Mr. Liu's wise eyes!" He lowered the tea bowl in his hand, and Chu Yi said softly: "Mr. Liu can enter this postman, but he knows or hears about the current situation of his official. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not seen, and the postman of the Tang Dynasty was limited. Although he had no worries about food and drink, the servants who were waiting beside him were all respectful and good. However, after all, it was not my Gaochang here. I have been staying here silently. What's the matter?"
It is rare to meet someone who can speak. Chu Yi, who has been suffocated here for nearly five days, couldn't help but start to complain to Liu Yi.
"The two countries are fighting, and there are still envoys coming to kill. Your Emperor of Tang Dynasty is really disappointing to me, Gaochang envoy." He raised his hand, raised the tea bowl on the table habitually, and then he was about to fall down. However, when he suddenly remembered that there was a guest on his side, Chu Yi stopped his movements again and slowly put the tea bowl in his hand back on the table.
"I know, the job I came to Tang this time is not pleasing," saw Liu Yi sitting there looking at him with some fun, Chu Yi's old face turned red, and then explained to himself: "But this is indeed the truth in my Gaochang. The country of Gaochang has more sand and fewer fields. But there are almost nothing else except white folds. The annual income of the national treasury is not enough to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty as before. This time, I have to do this."
"If I guess it's right," seeing that Chu Yi still had the intention to continue talking, Liu Yi spoke out loudly, interrupting the special envoy's words to stay down. He looked at Chu Yi with a deep look and asked softly: "Even if Chu is in Gaochang, he is not very successful, right?"
"Um~" The voice suddenly became hoarse, and Chu Yi's old face turned redder a little more.
"Forgive a rude," bowed his hand and gave Chu Yi a light bow. Liu Yi continued to say: "This is obviously a situation of death that cannot be lost at all. It is good for Lord Chu to be able to end up in this situation now. If I, the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, would have cut off Lord Chu's head directly. I think it is your monarch Gaochang, and I would not dare to say a word of injustice for you."
"Mr. Liu is careful! Although Chu does not value me, the king, he will never make any treason. If the teacher's trip is just to sow discord, then now, Mr. can invite him back!" Hearing the meaning implicit in Liu Yi's words, Chu Yi's face darkened immediately, and suddenly stood up from the chair and said to see him off.
