Duan Shiang looked at the young man who stood up, looked at him carefully, and asked, "I wonder who this gentleman is?"
"I'm Cui Lang, I'm traveling at home." The young man smiled and announced his identity. He was in a calm and relaxed state, not tense at all.
Duan Shiang raised his eyebrows, and then raised his hand: "It's Cui Liulang."
Since he came to the Cui family in Qinghe, he naturally knew about the affairs of the Cui family. He knew that among the Cui family members in Qinghe, there was the sixth son of the Cui family, who was the eldest grandson of Cui Ju, the head of the Cui family.
It is said that Cui Liulang was sent back to his hometown in Qinghe to reflect on his mistakes because of his previous mistakes in Beijing... But whether this move was a punishment or a protection, Duan Shiang's opinion was more in favor of the latter.
However, the Cui family has long been unable to control the current situation. The stability of their old home, which they thought they had, turned out to be unexpected before the capital.
At this moment, Duan Shiang looked at the young man in front of him with a satisfied look. Cui Zhi wanted to protect his grandson who deserved his patience and courtesy, so he asked: "I wonder why Cui Liulang and his clan members suddenly left Qinghe?
Where do you plan to go?"
The first half of the sentence is equivalent to asking knowingly.
Cui Lang only answered the last question and said with a smile: "I am about to follow my elder brother's arrangement and go to Taiyuan."
Duan Shiang's eyes moved slightly: "The eldest brother Cui Liulang mentioned...could it be Governor Cui of Bingzhou?"
"However, the prince sincerely wants to discuss small matters with the Cui family... Duan came here on orders, and there is no difficulty." Tan Shusheng looked at Cui Lang and the clan members in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'd like to trouble you all to follow you first."
How about you return to Xingzhou and escort you all to Taiyuan before meeting the prince in person?"
What's more, it is said that before the Hedong Jiedushi coveted Taiyuan and rebelled, the Cui family weakened the military strength and defense of the Bingzhou garrison... It was definitely a bad thing to confront the Bingzhou army at this time.
This son-in-law, whom I regarded as a subordinate in the past, chose to protect his people in his own way.
Cui Liulang was playing the chess piece to determine the position, but Cui Lang had already moved forward and waved his hand to signal both sides to place their swords: "Then it's time to use swords and guns! Put them up, put them all up!"
The person who was named was stunned for a while, vaguely feeling that all the people named by Bago had nothing in common, but for a moment I said it was too low.
Mrs. Cui came here in a separate form when she had time, and may not even know the situation of the Cui family in Qinghe at this time.
Seeing that Cui Lang was already gathering, a middle-aged tribesman stepped down and held my arm tightly: "Eight Lang, he can go!"
The lieutenant beside Cui Liulang gave the order with a wave of his hand. King Fan Yang, who was full of evil spirits, slowly turned his horse's head and rode away amid splashing mud and water.
If I were frightened into leaving by such words, I would have seized the military power of King Fanyang overnight and even captured Cui Liulang from eight states.
Moreover, in the barren mountains and ridges, bandits were lying in wait. In the troubled times, the Cui Jing tribesmen who had the power to bind chickens were lucky enough to be robbed and killed here. It is also very reasonable, right? At most, it is enough to deal with the literati in heaven.
.
Let me just say it, Hachiro is totally stupid.
But Cui Liulang was still suspicious of Cui Lang's statement, and he was willing to let go of Cui Jing's piece of fat.
Cui Lang turned a deaf ear to this and continued to talk to Tan Shusheng: "General Duan, your clansmen are already doing their own thing, and they haven't destroyed some old and powerful women and children - you alone are enough to meet Duan Shi'ang!"
I can let Hachiro go to danger alone!
Tan Shusheng looked at Cui Jing and the other guards.
Cui Lang felt a headache after hearing this - I was just on guard against Cui Liulang's bargaining, so why did one of my own over there take the initiative to add more money right now?
Fortunately, there was no arrangement by Xiaolang, and fortunately there was no decisiveness by Hachiro.
However, one is enough...
After saying that, he turned around and faced the tribesmen who were still approving. He stretched out his hand and nodded seemingly randomly: "Lingjie, Shoufan! Fourth uncle, Xirong..."
The seemingly friendly suggestions and inquiries still concealed the feeling of weakness.
"Is there no room for discussion on this matter? General Duan, please give me some face!" Cui Lang bowed his hands to Tan Shusheng.
Seeing the forbearance of these Cui family members, Cui Liulang laughed in his heart.
The following thoughts will not affect the murderous intention of the Cui Jing clan members after Cui Liulang confronts them.
Only the Cui Jing clan members were left in their original place, either at a loss or in panic and anger.
All in all, the Cui family and the Xuance Army are certainly scary, but the situation is slowly changing, and they must be too cautious because of a person who is not behind them at this time, and whose life or death is uncertain.
If we can get Tan Shu's full support, the benefits from this will definitely be inferior to those from the eight cities captured in front of me.
Cui Lang smiled "hey": "Break the bones and connect the tendons."
Cui Liulang raised his hand slightly to signal his subordinates to put away their swords, but he did not speak. He only waited for Cui Lang to speak up.
The Cui Jing clan became quiet, and many of the clan members clenched their fists, with sad and angry expressions on their faces.
And even after I entered, the so-called Cui family's arrangement was just a deception that Fan Yangjun tried to use to scare me.
The Cui Jing clan members were slightly startled: "Eight Lang! Stop making such nonsense!"
The tribesman wanted to say more, but Cui Lang held his arm instead: "Uncle, I believe you, walk slowly."
"After uncle comes in, they will go ahead. After you meet Duan Shiang, General Duan will send you to Taiyuan!" Cui Lang said, and then asked Cui Liulang: "That's right, General Duan!"
Duan Shiang seemed to find it strange: "But Duan had heard before that Governor Cui seemed to have been exterminated by the Cui family——"
The clan elder took a shaky breath and looked at the clansmen surrounding the car. Without any hesitation on his old face, he said one word at a time: "Why are you standing here? It's better to walk slowly!"
Another subordinate looked with disdain in his eyes and said with unbearable murderous intent: "Tan Shusheng invites you with bad intentions. Don't ask for a toast. This is a penalty for drinking!"
Hachiro has already reached that point. As a clan elder, I can make Hachiro break his promise no matter what.
Cui Liulang has always been on horseback to speak, and his attitude is obvious... Have we ever been so valued and humiliated by a mere military commander?
Maybe I noticed Cui Liulang's attitude. The soldiers behind me had already raised their hands to press their swords, and there was a violent and murderous look in their eyes.
"withdraw!"
The things outside our belly and the pen in our hands, whoever leans toward them will gain from them.
Cui Liulang looked at Cui Lang and immediately smiled: "That's true."
Tan Shusheng frowned almost perceptibly.
If those people are determined to raise their heads to such a hypocritical and noble person, I would also mind killing all of us here... It can be used by me and Duan Shiang, and at worst it can be used by my people.
Cui Lang nodded: "Of course!"
As Cui Liulang glanced around, a young man with red eyes stood up: "Eight Lang, if he insists on going, you can go with him!"
But Duan Shiang and I did not intend to start a war with Taiyuan at this time. We planned to go all the way south without following the strategy we had already decided... If we were to confront the Bingzhou garrison at that time, even if we could not fight, it would still disrupt us.
The original plan may delay the really small things.
And from King Fan Yang's cowardly attitude, we know that if we had not left Qinghe, one of our clansmen would have been able to escape at this time...
Cui Lang let us talk, let's talk. The less we say, the more it will appear that my direct grandson has no weight, and the more he can sell it at a bad price.
Cui Jing's guards also drew their swords and stood ready.
With this thought in mind, when I looked at the Cui Jing tribe again, the importance and the sense of inferiority and dominance in my eyes became more and more concealed, and I said again: "If Fan Yangjun has any objections, please arrange for the tribesmen to return with Duan."
Bar."
Cui Lang's expression didn't look at all anxious. At this moment, he seemed to be more relaxed than calming down the conflict. He blurted out: "General Duan, just follow them to see Duan Shi'ang!"
For Cui Liulang, who had made up his mind at this time, I was destined to be able to take away all the Tan Shu clan members today. If I could take away the most insignificant people, and in a relatively peaceful way, it would be wrong.
A bad compromise.
At that time, a deputy general next to me suddenly became angry: "Fan Yangjun is willing to let the Taiyuan people make a futile journey, but he plans to make you wait in vain!"
At such a critical moment, Bingzhou actually arranged for troops to come out of Taiyuan to meet the Cui Jing tribe?
"Fan Yangjun is really cool and slow." Cui Liulang cupped his hands and said, "Then please follow Duan."
After everything was explained, the clan elder had time to ask: "Who did Eight Lang take away?"
The first seven characters are almost audible.
Cui Lang struggled for a while, but finally said: "Just listen to General Duan's arrangements!"
I finished my calculations and considered the possibility that after the Bingzhou Army, which Cui Lang said was true and false, arrived, they could take the Cui Jing tribe away weakly.
"General Duan doesn't know anything... Dai Changshi of Bingzhou has arranged for troops to go out to Taiyuan to meet you and wait. The appointment will be here soon." Cui Lang looked troubled: "It's not a good idea to ask us to make a trip in vain, right?
"
Cui Lang's answer seemed to have been carefully thought out.
As soon as this sound fell, the lieutenant beside Cui Liulang suddenly drew his sword: "Seeking death!"
Naturally, this will definitely offend the Cui family and set up a feud... However, what will happen to this half-dead clan by then?
"How can you doubt that! His trip..."
In a panic, the clan member Wu said anxiously and sadly: "Eight Lang actually believed Cui Liulang's words that he would send people back to Taiyuan beforehand... It's so stupid!"
I have a bad feeling towards those gentry people who still see the situation clearly, but it can be admitted that those people are still useless. Many gentry people and even literati from poor families secretly still regard Tan Shu as their leader.
Tan Shusheng will never regret it at any time, and new changes will never happen at any time.
As for Cui, he is a man who has a sharp weapon but knows how to use it. He is still fighting for the court in the north against the wolves of Beidi... As time goes by, it is still unclear who will be the dead soul and who will be the winner.
The two tribesmen recalled and explained the identities of these seventy-four tribesmen.
Cui Liulang didn't stop him, he didn't have any attitude, it would be more appropriate to let the people in charge reveal it.
"...Hachiro followed us?!" When the clan elder who had just been taken to the carriage behind heard this, his eyes suddenly turned white and he almost fainted.
Looking at his eyes that had been sinking for a moment after so many years, the middle-aged tribesman had a lump in his throat, and all his words to stop him were blocked in his throat.
The carriage moved very slowly, and the elders and the weak held hands and handed over many matters to the various clansmen. We must always be vigilant and indulge in useful depression and humiliation.
The Tan Shu clan members standing behind took a few steps forward. No clan member could suppress the humiliated anger in their hearts anymore, and pointed at Tan Shusheng and others: "You, Qinghe Cui Jing... how can you allow such a powerful person like you to coerce and drive you!"
"You are stupid..." The clan elder reluctantly took this breath, exhaled quickly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Eight Lang is stupid."
Of course, it is difficult for me to be afraid of Tan Shu. If the Cui family is in Taiyuan at this time, I may consider letting the Cui Jing clan leave. But what you need to know is that the Cui family and the Xuance Army are challenging the Beidi cavalry at this time...
…
Face to face means the occurrence of weapon conflict.
It was at that time that I heard Cui Lang say: "I'm afraid that's OK."
but……
"..." After hearing this, the clan elder fell into a long silence.
"Hachiro, yes!"
Sure enough, Tan Shusheng was not moved at all.
"There is no reason to argue with thieves!" A man whose long coat was stained with mud said through gritted teeth: "It is humiliating to kill Shi Ke, but he will fight with us today!"
That time there was even a question, but an order.
Moreover, Tan Shusheng and I were too slow to start the fight. Although the court was caught off guard, we still had very few outstanding counselors at our disposal. The further the battle progressed, the more untalented people were needed to assist us.
.
I counted seventy-four people in one breath: "They will follow you to meet Duan Shiang!"
"Elder of the clan!"
Cui Liulang raised his lips: "Of course."
"..."
Tan Shusheng was speaking tightly or quickly, while his mind was slowly thinking about the pros and cons.
The atmosphere suddenly became safer.
Hearing this, Cui Liulang tightened his fingers on the reins slightly and glanced towards the west in the direction of Taiyuan.
The people of the Cui Jing tribe spoke out to stop him.
Following that action, Fan Yang Wangzhong suddenly heard the sound of drawing his sword. For a moment, the sword light loomed in his eyes, and his murderous intent was on the verge of breaking out.
Tan Shusheng smiled knowingly: "Oh?"
A trace of tears overflowed from the old man's eyes, but his voice became more determined: "Let's go!"
The Zheng family disappeared after entering the country. Why did the Cui family behave?
At this time, I have no doubt that there will be desperate resistance among the Cui family... Using swords and guns also takes time. Looking at the situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to take away the Tanshu people after the Bingzhou army arrives - I am sure Cui
What Lang said is true.
Cui Lang was afraid that something might change later, so he quickly took these seventy-four tribesmen and dozens of servants and guards and left with Cui Liulang.
In Cui Liulang's view, the correct solution is to focus on the current situation.
This sentence has flashed in the mind of the clan elder for many years - [Cui Lang promises that you, the Cui Jing clan, will be sent to Taiyuan safely! Please believe in Cui Lang that time!]
"It's really best to let Fan Yangjun go back alone. With fewer people, we can take care of each other." Cui Liulang smiled and said: "How about we invite 80 people from the nobles to go back together? Tan Shu's business
How about going up?"
And this time, if Ba Lang returns...Tan Shu will have no one to succeed him!
The seventy-four tribesmen who were taken away were simply incompetent.
It doesn't matter if I take away the Cui Jing clan members forcefully here today, or kill them all here. No matter how the Cui family wants to settle the matter beforehand, it is all in the past. But now when they meet the Bingzhou army face to face, it is...
