The weather in the Tang Dynasty has been bad in the past two years, and so has the grassland in the past two years. In the past, when the Turks were strong, they dared to go south to plunder when the weather was bad. But since the Turks were wiped out by the Tang army, there are few remaining grassland people.
Dare to go south to find trouble with the Tang people.
Xue Yantuo, Uighurs, Tongluo and other tribes now only dare to fight in their nests. To sum up, the big fish eats the small fish, the small fish eats the shrimp, and the shrimp eats water.
But, there is a limit to this. No one dared to mess around because the Tang Dynasty still had troops on the grassland.
What is the status of the Tang army in the grassland now?
They are equivalent to the chief judges of the tribes in the grasslands. Anyone who feels wronged will go to the Tang Dynasty father to make the decision. The Tang Dynasty army is also happy to make the decision for these grassland tribes. There are two reasons. One is to maintain the balance of the grassland, and the other is to maintain the balance of the grassland.
Then several soldiers from the governor's office wanted to behead them for meritorious service.
For example, some time ago Xue Yantuo was planning to annex a small tribe, and then the Grand Governor Qin Qiong of the Huyan Governor's Mansion learned the news.
Later, he led more than a thousand cavalry and charged directly into the Xue Yantuo tribe, asking Yi Nan if he wanted to rebel.
Of course Yi Nan did not dare to rebel, so he could only swallow his anger and let him go.
The current grassland tribes, all united, are not strong enough for Tang Qi to fight, let alone a single tribe.
Whether it was Xue Yantuo or Uighur, facing the Tang army, they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes and call daddy.
Don't shout?
That would give Tang Jun an excuse to kill people.
The current grassland leaders no longer think that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is an emperor who only cares about face. Since the fall of the Turks, they have been aware of the slave trade secretly carried out by the Governor's Mansion. If they gave the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty an excuse, they would not even think about it.
, the Tang army will definitely kill and rob people again.
Sometimes, the leaders of the various grassland tribes felt that the Tang Dynasty emperor's greed in seizing slaves was really like Jie Li.
There is no way, who allowed the Tang army to cheat now?
The uniform silver plate-armored cavalry roared back and forth, often accompanied by bloody heads flying.
Tang Qi is so terrifying.
"drive!"
More than three hundred Tang cavalry escorted a caravan to the hinterland of the grassland.
The captain of the guard was named Zhang Mazi, and his brothers all called him Zhang Mazi. He was once the gatekeeper of Miangu City, because when Li Xiaochang rebelled, he surrendered to the court and opened the Miangu City Gate and made great achievements.
Later, as the Tang army conquered the Turks and made military exploits, he was promoted to general, and now he is appointed as the governor of Xiangdu.
"Run Gong, you must make a lot of money on this trip." Zhang Mazi said to Wan Xuandao with a smile.
Wan Xuandao, Duke of Runguo, has made many military exploits under Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Dingxiang Governor's Mansion, and is now the chief historian of Dingxiang Governor's Mansion. In addition, because he is the emperor's uncle, he is a prominent figure in Dingxiang Governor's Mansion and even on the grassland.
A large number of people knelt down to lick the object.
Even Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Dingxiang, treated him with great courtesy.
There was no way, Wan Xuandao's backstage was too tough. As Empress Dowager Wan's only biological brother and the emperor's only biological uncle, he was like a scorpion, and no one dared to offend him.
"What, are you interested?" Wan Xuandao slowed down his horse, looked over the hills, and saw the settlement of the remnants of the Turks not far away.
Zhang Mazi hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare you? I just want to ask, ask."
"Haha, if you are interested, you can just say so and I will give you a share." Wan Xuandao didn't care.
He really has no shortage of money.
There are so many agents in the imperial court, and he will never fall behind others. If others have it, he will definitely have it.
Zhang Mazi said: "Mr. Run is so generous. Thank you very much. However, I have an unkind request. I hope Mr. Run will consider it."
"Tell me and listen."
"I haven't read a book, and I only know how to kill people. My brothers call me Mazi Mazi. Although I'm used to it, I always find it unpleasant. Mr. Run is well-read, and I wonder if I can give him a nickname for my general?"
He is a somewhat clever person and knows Wan Xuandao's identity. If Wan Xuandao is willing to give him a cousin name, then he will be connected with Wan Xuandao in the future.
Wan Xuandao glanced at him and said: "It's a sign."
"Yes, yes."
In fact, Zhang Mazi's nickname is really hard to come by, and Wan Xuandao himself was not as well-read as Zhang Mazi said. He was at most an intellectual of the Tang Dynasty.
After thinking for a while, Wan Xuandao said: "How about Mu Zhi?"
"Mu Zhi?" Zhang Mazi scratched his head, but actually he couldn't because he was wearing plate armor and a mask, so he could only touch the iron armor.
"What's the moral?"
Wan Xuandao said with a smile: "In ancient times, there was a state pastor who governed a country."
Hearing this, Zhang Mazi's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is a good name, thank you Mr. Run!"
While they were talking, they were already approaching the gathering place of Turks.
The Turks here are mainly Fengzhi Losili, who are the remnants of the former Turkic people. They may not know who their father is, but they must know the flag of his father in the Tang Dynasty.
From a distance, I saw Tang Qi with shining silver armor approaching on horseback. I took another look at the familiar and fearful Tang Qi, and I immediately knew the identity of the person coming.
When Wan Xuandao came closer, Zhi lost his mind and got the report from his subordinates, who had already come out to greet him.
"Run Gong, long time no see." Zhi Shen Si Li's face was full of smiles, and he almost didn't call him dad.
There was no way, his Turkic tribe did not have an advantage when facing Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs. Without the support of the Tang army behind him, he would not have been able to hold on.
Therefore, when someone comes to my father's house, no matter how small the official is, he is still his little father, and he must serve him obediently.
What's more, the one who came this time was Shi, the governor of Dingxiang.
"Khan is polite." Wan Xuandao gently cupped his hand.
Zhi lost his ability to think and hurriedly turned away and said with a smile: "Mr. Run, please don't do this. You and I are as close as brothers. You are a brother and I am a brother. You can't be like this, you can't be like this."
Seeing this, Wan Xuandao was not surprised and said nothing. Looking back at the arrogance of the Turks in the past, and then looking at the humbleness of the Turks today.
In this regard, he just wanted to say one thing: His Majesty the Emperor was absolutely right. When dealing with a beast, you must beat him until he surrenders.
Wan Xuandao said: "This time, I have brought you something good, you will definitely like it."
"Sugar?"
"Soap?"
"silk?"
Adhere to the loss of thinking and guessing.
"All of them." Wan Xuandao said with a smile: "Of course, this new product is a treasure that you will like even more than these."
"Oh, I'll just wait and see, little brother."
Wan Xuandao clapped his hands, and a guard took out a piece of goods.
Zhi lost his mind and looked at it curiously. He also expected something rarer than sugar and soap.
Wan Xuandao slowly opened the package, revealing the gray sweater inside.
He looked at Zhi Shansi and said, "This is a treasure to keep out the cold. You can try it on."
Zhi lost his mind and took the sweater from Wan Xuandao's hand, pinching the thickness, and couldn't help but feel waves in his heart.
This dress is so great.
However, when he was wearing it, he had a problem because the sweater was actually worn as a pullover.
Under Wan Xuandao's explanation, Zhi lost his mind and put on the thick woolen clothes.
That thickness!
That fit!
Immediately, Zhi lost his ability to think and his eyes shone brightly.
If I put on a few more layers, wouldn't it be more comfortable than smelly sheepskin?
"Run Gong, I am very happy with this thing!"
Needless to say how cold the grassland is, every winter, their people have to wrap themselves into rice dumplings.
But, if you have a close-fitting woolen sweater...
The picture was so beautiful that I lost my ability to think and was distracted for a while.
Wan Xuandao was not in a hurry. He waited until Zhi lost his mind and realized it before he started bargaining.
In his opinion, the woolen sweater was very rough and uncomfortable to wear, but for savage tribes like the Turks, it was a treasure.
