Chapter 1031 good skin(1/4)
After passing the Raole Governor's Office, there was no snow, so Li Yuanying said that the Xi people's luck was extremely bad.
If there was no snow, the cavalry of the Xi people could cause huge trouble for the more than a thousand infantrymen, and they would dare to take risks!
He looked back and a sergeant shook his head slightly.
The horse's hooves trampled on the ground gently, and the withered grass turned into powder.
It is hard for southerners to imagine such grass... In the south, even if the grass withered and yellow, it is still resilient.
This is the seventh day after they left the Raole Governor's Mansion.
"I haven't encountered a scout."
Li Yuanying was a little panicked.
"Will we follow us?"
His suspicion continued.
When dozens of riders appeared in front of him, he finally smiled.
"Here's here!"
He led fifty cavalry and was confident that he could kill these Khitans.
"It's the Tang people!"
More than sixty Khitan Rangers discovered them, and the leader shouted: "Separately encircle!"
The cavalry separated and accelerated immediately.
The sound of horse hooves gradually became heavier.
"Array!"
Li Yuanying was very calm.
He raised the banner!
The speeding Khitan Ranger slowed down.
"It's the messenger!"
The leader shouted: "Still encircle it."
Two teams of rangers surrounded from left and right.
Near the front, both sides drew their swords.
"I am a messenger."
Li Yuanying sneered, "I King Teng Li Yuanying!"
The leader was stunned.
In the past, most of the envoys from the Tang Dynasty were civil officials, and they were no more than sixth rank.
This time, a super royal family member came!
What's the meaning?
The document was taken out, but the leader couldn't understand it after reading it for a while.
But I recognize the flag.
The fifty cavalry could recognize at a glance, and they were the Tang cavalry.
The messenger is right.
The leader asked, "What is the intention of the messenger?"
According to the prior explanation, Li Yuanying said: "I heard that someone was trying to instigate the relationship between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. Your Majesty ordered me to come and comfort me and investigate."
Comfort first, this is kind.
After exploring, this is a needle hidden in the cotton.
If Abugu is a ghost, don't blame me for revealing it.
The leader squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Please follow me, king."
Li Yuanying's legs trembled a little, and his smile was calm and light. "I am here to represent the Tang Dynasty, represent Your Majesty, and let someone come to welcome you! If the gift is not good, my horse whip..."
His hands fell and his whip fell.
The whip swung violently.
Bang!
A beautiful whip is finished.
The leader looks around...
"The nearest tribe is only two days away, and there are wolves here at night."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Li Yuanying smiled long.
"I have been admiring the wolf meat for a long time, and I want to get myself a wolf skin cloak. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I wish I could meet a pack of wolves tonight!"
The Tang Dynasty was so heroic that even a prince was like this, which shows how it was!
The leader bowed, "Please wait for this."
He galloped all the way and arrived at the tribe in just one and a half days.
"What did you find?"
Someone is shouting.
Many people in the camp turned back.
The leader shouted: "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty is here! Go away!"
He went all the way outside the tribe leader's tent, dismounted and shouted: "Anti-report!"
In the tent, the leader was drinking and two maids were accompanying him.
"Come in!"
The leader was still drinking, and reached out to grab the maid.
The leader came in and looked at the two maids first, with their eyes burning.
"The envoy of the Tang people was discovered."
The leader let go of his hand, and the maid took the opportunity to retreat.
"Who is coming? How many people?"
"It's said it's King Teng, fifty cavalry."
The leader narrowed his eyes, waved his hands, and the two maids bowed and said goodbye.
"Fifty riders."
The leader held the silver bowl and pondered.
"If you hold King Teng, this will be the first contribution." The leader said dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you bring him?"
The leader said: "The King of Teng is very arrogant and said that he would not come without a high-ranking official."
"The powerful and powerful people of the Tang Dynasty have long been decayed."
The leader lowered his head and his voice was soft.
"Khan wants to raise an army, and to raise an army to boost morale. If I take King Teng..."
He raised the silver bowl to dry the wine in the glass, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and smashed the silver bowl to the ground, and stood up and said, "Gather five hundred horsemen."
The leader kindly advised, "Five hundred riders...are less?"
The leader naturally disdained to explain to a Ranger leader, and more than ten nobles came later.
Before the official system was formed, the powers in the tribe were very casual.
And the nobles are officials.
"When Chang'an heard some news, he sent a prince to take five hundred cavalry and was less than two days away from us."
The leader looked at everyone and was full of excitement.
The leader said with satisfaction: "This is an opportunity. If we win this prince, we will be the first contribution."
Someone asked, "If the matter fails..."
The leader said coldly: "We are the Khitans. We used to rely on the Turks, but later we left them. Now we seem to rely on the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty is beyond the reach of the grassland..."
He stood up and said with bright eyes: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we don't do it, we will..."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "The Tang Dynasty wiped out the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong. If we don't do anything, what will we do when their immigrants fill Liaodong?"
The nobles were silent.
The leader roared: "We will always bow our heads, and the Khitan will never become a Hun or Turkic existence. Can we bear it?"
"cannot!"
The Huns and Turks once caused great trouble to the Central Plains, so every tribe who wanted to rise took them as an example.
The leader took a deep breath, "I felt excited like I had never felt before, but I felt particularly calm. Everything in front of me was so fresh. The god was telling me that this was a successful action."
A nobleman said, "Are there fewer five hundred cavalry?"
Another nobleman said dissatisfiedly: "They are only fifty horses."
