In the dark room, Zheng Shanguo sat with his eyes slightly dull. The sparse sound of rain could be heard outside the window, not loud, but not too quiet. In the past, at this time, he liked reading the most, and reading made him happy.
But now, no matter what he does, he feels unhappy at all.
Just now, an old friend of the Zheng family came to the door and angrily accused him of being unfaithful and actually colluding with the court to allocate their land and asking them to pay a large amount of land tax. He was simply not a son of a man!
All this is not his fault at all, no, it can also be said to be his fault. If he hadn't mistakenly trusted that old guy Pei Ju, why would the Zheng family have become estranged in the Central Plains?
His family's land was handed over to the imperial court, and the clansmen were clamoring for separation. He was already exhausted physically and mentally, but this time, he offended the powerful landlords in the Central Plains.
Unfortunately, the good reputation is not my own!
Thinking of the scenes where people thanked Daiwei, Zheng Shanguo felt nauseated.
I did the bad things, but the good things are all theirs.
With his mind, he could naturally see that the emperor's plan to spread the family into a family was obviously to exploit the aristocratic family and provide for the people.
However, not only could he not stop it, he had to become the emperor's accomplice.
"Why am I so unlucky!" Zheng Shanguo was about to cry but had no tears.
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"Mr. Lang, the head of the Zhang family has come to pay his respects."
Zheng Shanguo shook his head and weakly agreed.
His nightmare is not over yet, he will continue to bear such infamy for the court and the emperor.
This is not punishment, but never-ending torture.
Sometimes, he even thought that it would be great if he could die to pay for his crime.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to die.
Because he couldn't imagine how the Zheng family would be split up by the emperor after his death.
North of Youzhou, within the territory of the Xi tribe.
The Khitan people were enjoying the glory of being the victors. They killed the strong men of the Xi tribe, robbed their women and children, took away their cattle, sheep and horses, and unleashed their wild destruction unscrupulously.
"drive!"
The Great Hemohui rode up to the Great Heduluo.
"Chief, the Tang envoy is here."
"Who is it?"
"Traitor Sun Aocao!" Da Hemohui gritted his teeth and said.
Da He Du Luo snorted coldly, "This scum dares to call himself an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. I think he has forgotten all the glory of the Khitan people!"
"Chief, don't be impulsive!" Da Hemohui advised: "He is here on the orders of Xie Shufang, the governor of Yingzhou. If you hurt him, you may make the Tang people dissatisfied."
Tang Dynasty......
Dahe Duoluo is much more sober. He is not an arrogant man. He naturally knows who is the father now. Facing the Tang Dynasty, he has unspeakable fears and fears.
There was nothing he could do. It had only been a few years since the Turks were subjugated and exterminated. He didn't dare to forget it even if he wanted to.
"Let him come over."
"yes."
Sun Aocao was originally a leader of the Khitan tribe, but he had always looked down upon his origin. Ever since he submitted to the Sui Dynasty for the first time, he found that staying with a group of savages was too unbearable.
Then, he surrendered and became addicted.
The Tang Dynasty was established, and Sun Aocao surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. He was named General Yunhui by Li Yuan and was placed next to Yingzhou to guard the gate.
In the camp, Daheduluo and Sun Aocao met.
Sun Aocao raised his face and looked like he was being arrogant, which made Da He Du Luo and Da He Mo Hui very unhappy.
If it weren't for fear of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Aocao would be kneeling now instead of standing.
"What's the purpose of Tang's envoy coming here?"
Sun Aocao raised his voice and said: "I have been ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to pass on a few words to you. Why don't you kneel down and listen to His Majesty's command?"
Hearing this, Da Hemohui shouted: "Sun Aocao, this is the Khitan, not the Tang Dynasty. You'd better make it clear!"
"Really?" Sun Aocao chuckled, "Then I'll take my leave."
With that said, he turned and left.
He was eager for the Khitans to cause trouble. The more they caused trouble, the more they would offend His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang cavalry came out of the fortress, the Khitans would definitely die!
Perhaps because he was a Khitan traitor, he desperately hoped that the Khitan would be beaten underground by the Tang Dynasty to prove how correct his actions were.
In short, the better the Khitan is, the more uncomfortable he is. The worse the Khitan is, the happier he is.
"stop!"
When Sun Aocao was about to leave the camp, Dahe Duluo stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" Sun Aocao turned around and said arrogantly.
Da He Du Luo suppressed his anger, put a hand on his chest, and slowly knelt down on one knee.
"Khitan Great Congratulations to Du Luo, I respectfully listen to the emperor's order from the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing this, Sun Aocao showed a satisfied smile on his face, and that smile even felt a little perverted.
When Da Hemo met Da He Duluo and knelt down, he also had to kneel down on one knee.
"This is what smart people do." Sun Aocao did not forget to give them a touch up, and continued: "Since you are so sincere, then listen up. His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, wants you to return everything that belongs to the Xi clan immediately, and
Return to the Khitan territory, and from now on, you are not allowed to cross the border even half a step!"
dream!
Da Hemohui didn't even think about it, these two words popped up in his mind. They fought desperately for territory, slaves, and livestock. How could the Emperor of Tang spit out all of them just because of one sentence?
If they spit it out, wouldn't their work this time be in vain?
Dahe Duoluo's eyes gradually turned cold and he said: "I understand."
What?
How could the clan leader agree to him!
Before Da Hemo could ask, Da He Duluo gave him a look.
'calm!'
Seeing Da He Du Luo agreeing so happily, Sun Aocao was a little disappointed and said provocatively: "Da He Du Luo, you really look like a dog. Even if a dog bites someone, it won't spit out what it eats. You,
Even worse than a dog, hahahaha!”
Hearing this, the Khitan people in the tent wanted to eat Sun Aocao alive.
Dahe Duluo said nothing and seemed to be enduring all this.
The provocation failed, and Sun Aocao was a little disappointed, so he could only turn around and leave.
After Sun Aocao left, Da Hemohui stood up and asked: "Chief, if we agree to this traitor, wouldn't our death be in vain this time?"
Dahe Duoluo also stood up slowly and sneered: "Who said I promised him."
"What?"
"Send the order to kill another group of Xi tribe members immediately, and we will bring all the slaves and livestock back to Khitan. As long as the land of the Xi tribe is still here, we can come back sooner or later!"
"But clan leader, how should we explain it to Emperor Tang?" Da Hemohui asked hesitantly.
Daheduluo said in a deep voice: "The people of the Tang Dynasty value face most. This time the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent Sun Aocao to send a message, which shows that the Tang Dynasty will not do anything to us. Besides, I heard that there have been natural disasters in the Central Plains for many years, so the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty should not dare to raise troops.
However, for safety reasons, we can send people to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor and then confess to him. With the Tang Emperor's face-saving character, he will not hold us accountable."
"Yes." Ohma would nod.
Soon, the Khitan warriors received orders to start a new round of massacre.
A Khitan centurion found the Great Hemo Society.
"Will doing this attract the attention of Tang Qi?" The centurion said worriedly: "This time we attacked the Xi clan without saying hello to the Tang Dynasty. Will they take the opportunity to attack us?"
Da Hemohui said: "Brother Ku, don't worry, the clan leader has already found a way to calm down the anger of Emperor Tang."
"What can I do?" Brother Dahe Ku asked.
Da Hemo will tell Da He Duluo's solution to the problem.
"Is this really okay?" Brother Dahe Ku said with an ugly face: "It is rumored that the Emperor of Tang was not a kind person. After the Turks were destroyed, the country was destroyed, the population, slaves, women, children and livestock were all plundered by the Emperor of Tang. He and
The previous emperors of the Central Plains were different."
Ohma Hui thought: "It's nothing different, don't think too much about it."
Seeing that Ohama would say this, Brother Ohaku couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod and agree, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
