Fang Zheng, a regular attendant of the fifth-grade cavalryman, when welcoming the Turkic envoy, actually killed the Turkic envoy's horse outside the city gate in front of the officials and people, and ordered the sergeants to drain the blood of the two hundred horses and sprinkle them with blood.

On the official road. This

This breaking news spread quickly to every corner of the capital like a plague, causing an uproar. What is even more surprising is that the Turks, who are famous for their cruelty and war-loving nature, did not use force after a brief confrontation.

This incident led to two results. First, Fang Zheng's name spread throughout the streets and alleys, and the people in the city regarded him as a national hero. For a time, Young Master Fang's reputation became so great that tens of thousands of families gave birth to Buddhas and the people praised him. Second,

Dozens of officials in the court made a memorial all night, unanimously impeaching Fang Zheng for disregarding the overall interests of the court and the country, venting personal anger, offending "friendly countries", and requesting the emperor to punish him.

The court and the people were in chaos because of Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng acted as if nothing had happened. After arranging the accommodation for Datata and his party, he continued to stand outside the city gate at noon the next day, waiting for the Turks to arrive.

An envoy sent by Khan Gudulu.

This time Fang Zheng learned a lesson and first ordered people to inquire about the Turkic envoy's itinerary. After being reported that he was not far from the capital, he led Wei Chengde, Feng Qiudao and three thousand sergeants to the outside of the city to greet him.

Wei Chengde stood outside the city and looked worried all the time. He sighed and said, "Master Fang... the court's remarks are very unfavorable to you now, so you have to be careful."

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Master Wei, are you talking about me killing horses and bleeding them? Haha, I think this is the proud work of my life. It enhances the prestige of our country and the spirit of our people. The imperial court should reward me."

.”

Wei Chengde said: "Master Fang, don't take this matter too simply. I know that you and Pan Shangshu have a quarrel. They are waiting to take advantage of you. Yesterday's horse killing incident can be reversed, but why are you still there?"

Do you want to bleed in front of the Turkic envoys? Isn’t this... Alas! Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?”

Fang Zheng sneered and said: "Master Wei, the Turks have repeatedly invaded the border, killed people, looted, and did whatever they wanted in our Hua Dynasty. I just humiliated them once in front of them. What? The court is huge, with more than a hundred civil and military officials.

How dare no one dare to offend such a 'friendly country'? Do we have to lie on the ground and obey orders to be considered loyal ministers and good citizens? So, for such a loyal minister, it's okay not to do so!"

Wei Chengde also seemed to be aroused. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Master Fang is saying, why should you pay attention to those monsters and monsters in the court! Master Fang is young but has such an unyielding character. I am not talented, so I am willing to work with you."

Go!" He said, grabbing Fang Zheng's hand and shaking it hard.

Feng Qiudao also added a hand and said coolly: "And me."

Fang Zheng looked at the three big hands overlapping each other, and couldn't help but shudder. He quickly pulled his hand away, rubbed his arms covered with goosebumps, and said dissatisfied: "Hey, what's wrong with you ancient people? You just talk.

Let’s talk about it, why are you holding other people’s hands when you have nothing to do?”

"..."

"..."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Fang Zheng and the others didn't wait long before another group of Turkic envoys arrived.

There were only about a hundred of them, and they were all riding horses, but the speed was not very fast. When they reached the section of the official road that was sprinkled with horse blood, an old man in the leader saw an eye-catching wooden sign erected on the side of the road.

, with the four characters "Hu people dismount" written on it.

The old man was stunned, stopped his horse, and then stared carefully at the dark red official road under his feet that still smelled of blood, thoughtfully. Then he smiled silently, turned over and dismounted calmly, and a hundred Turks behind him

When people saw the old man dismounting, they all dismounted without saying a word, followed behind the old man and led the horse towards Fang Zheng and the others.

Fang Zheng couldn't help frowning, and whispered to Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao: "This old man is not simple..." Seeing Wei Chengde staring at him dissatisfied, Fang Zheng hurriedly changed his words: "This old man is not simple.

, we have to be very alert when negotiating with him, otherwise we will definitely lose money."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man led all the Turks to come to them.

With a smile on his face, Fang Zheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ah! Welcome! Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way. Have you eaten? Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go to the city and have something to eat... Mr. Lu, Lu Hongwen! Damn, this

Where did this guy go? Who can translate for me?"

Unexpectedly, the old man smiled slightly and said in fluent Chinese: "Excuse me, sir. I've come all the way and haven't eaten yet...".

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Let's go! Let's go to the Yueyue Tower and I'll treat you... Huh? Can you speak Chinese?"

The old man smiled and said: "When I was young, I traveled to your country to study and read books. I have great respect for the culture of the Central Plains and I have some knowledge of the Chinese language."

Fang Zheng said happily: "That's good, since we don't have an interpreter between us, communication will be much easier."

So Fang Zheng introduced Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao to the old man. After introducing each other, Fang Zheng found out that the old man had a good background. His identity was a Turkic national preceptor named Mojilian, and he was the Khan of Gu Duolu.

The most relied-upon assistant, his status is second only to the Khan, and he enjoys high prestige among the Turkic tribes.

Fang Zheng's mind was spinning. Gu Duolu even sent out his number one think tank, which showed how seriously he attached importance to this negotiation. What is certain is that their bottom line must be very low.

Master Shi, I'm afraid it's not impossible to ask for hundreds or tens of millions of taels of silver.

Fang Zheng smiled and extended his hand to greet him, and entered the city side by side with the Moji Company. The whole greeting process was very harmonious and cordial. It was like meeting old friends for many years. On the surface, it seemed that the meeting of brothers was nothing more than that.

Fang Zheng and Mo Jilian exchanged pleasantries while walking. Mo Jilian hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Master Fang, I just saw a sign beside the official road, this..."

Fang Zheng pretended to think for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Oh - you said that, alas! Imperial Master, please don't misunderstand us, we have no racial discrimination, and I really want to complain for you.

, you said, you are both Turks, but why are your qualities so different?"

Then Fang Zheng elaborated on what happened yesterday, and finally he said: "Master, Nadatta went too far. Later, when he saw that he had gotten into trouble, he wanted to make excuses, saying that he was a ruthless person.

The envoy sent by the Khan. I thought, no way. Gudulu Khan is famous for being gentle and polite. The envoy he sent will definitely not be as arrogant and domineering as Datata...

"

Fang Zheng saw Mo Ji listening with a smile and not saying a word, but there was a look of disbelief in his eyes. Fang Zheng thought to himself, this old man is not stupid, it is a bit difficult to deceive him, and it might be a bit awkward to mix the truth with some lies.

hope.

So Fang Zheng continued: "Speaking of which, Datata's Qi-bearing skills are indeed good. Yesterday, I ordered people to kill their horses and even bled their horses in front of them, but Datata was very well-educated. He laughed.

, saying that he persuades people with virtue, it doesn’t matter if I want to kill his horse, just kill him, kill him until I am convinced..."

After hearing this, Mo Jilian's expression finally changed. He hesitated and said, "I know Datata. He is a wise and brave man under Mo Chu. He has a strong and violent temper. How could you let you kill his horse?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "I don't know about this. Anyway, he told me at the time that the warriors under Mo Duo Lu Khan have a mind as broad as the grassland and like an eagle or something. They will never be as big as Gu Duo Lu Khan."

They are so arrogant and careless, and say that forming an alliance with them is the best choice for China, just like the goshawk chooses the blue sky, and the cattle and sheep choose fat grass... You Turkic people have too many metaphors, and I can't understand them.

That’s probably what it means.”

When Mo Jilian heard this, his eyes flashed with a fierce look, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, but his tone remained as usual: "He really said that?"

Fang Zheng nodded and said: "Why did I lie to you? There were so many of us here yesterday. We all saw it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears. Hey, Imperial Master, we hit it off right away. As an outsider, don't say anything to me.

I like to hear it. I heard that the two khans are brothers. They are fighting for such a small amount of family property.

, is it necessary to make a dispute between families? It’s great to have a harmonious family, but now we have a feud, which makes everyone uneasy. - Don’t you know that Datata scolded your family member Dulu Khan yesterday?

That’s an unpleasant thing to hear, and an outsider like me can’t bear to hear it..."

Fang Zheng was using his eloquence to sow discord with great enthusiasm, when Mo Jilian suddenly burst out two words from between his teeth: "Everyone!"

Fang Zheng was stunned: "What?"

Mojilian came to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding Datata. When he was under the tent of my Great Khan, Guduulu, he was as docile as a dog.

He is a well-behaved sheep, but he didn’t expect that he turned out to be an ill-fed wolf!”

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. After spending so much saliva, he finally achieved some results.

Of course, it was impossible for the penniless young master Fang to really invite the Imperial Master to dinner. After settling them, Fang Zheng led Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao to say goodbye to the Imperial Master and left.

Old Man Wei asked as he walked: "Master Fang, when will the negotiations be held? Have you decided yet?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Master Wei, don't worry, let the two of them have fun in our capital for a few days, have fun, sing, dance, call me miss, they can do whatever they want, haha, what about us?

, continue to live our lives without delay."

Old Man Wei said anxiously: "Master Fang, it's not a big deal for you to just leave them in the post house and ignore them."

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Turks are more anxious than us. The fire has burned their butts. How can they have the time to eat, drink and have fun? Let's wait with peace of mind. In less than two days, they will beg us to negotiate.

"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng winked at Wei Chengde: "Would you like to make a bet?"

Wei Chengde smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor really chose the right person when he sent you to negotiate. I admire you..."

Fang Zheng chuckled secretly: You ancient people must not understand what negotiation psychology is, and what it means to attack the enemy, you must first attack the heart. This is similar to the knowledge of picking up girls. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to mess up...
