Chapter 191 Fully Automatic Fishing-style Christians (Congratulations to the leader "on the road")

"Gar envoy, is this the official route to Futeng City?"

"I have resigned from the post of envoy, please stop calling me like this, Deputy Envoy Li, and call me Ruben (General)!"

"It's so kind. I hope that the next time Tubo goes to the Tang Dynasty, the envoy of Gar will also serve as the main envoy. You don't need to be familiar with it. What do you think?"

"..."

After walking for half a day, Bren Zanren's head was humming and hurting.

He has lived on the plateau for a long time, and he seems to have altitude sickness. It is really tormenting to talk to this person.

However, Li Yan was in high spirits: "'Fuqi' is a Xianbei language, meaning 'city of kings', and that city is a representative of Tuyuhun."

"When the north and south of the Central Plains are opposed, and the world is chaotic and disputed, the commercial roads in Hexi are blocked, and business travel often passes through Qinghai to the southern border. Fucheng City on the way has become the pearl of this trade route. ,is that so?"

Xue Le went out: "Vice Envoy Li is right. I, the Tuyuhun tribe, had a huge caravan at that time. The largest caravan consisted of more than [-] camels and mules. With [-] escorts, tens of thousands of caravans could be transported at one time. colorful silk!"

Li Yan praised: "Even if the people of Tuyuhun live in a poor place, they can get rich through trade routes and be self-sufficient, and they don't need to invade and cause disasters. This is very good!"

Bren Zanjian: "..."

Do you think I can't hear you criticizing Sang Huai?
After all, he is Lu Dongzan's youngest son, and he immediately found his blind spot: "Vice Envoy Li's words are ridiculous. Isn't it just after Tang Liguo took away the trade route of Tuyuhun, forcing them to plunder everywhere again?"

Li Yan shook his head: "The Longyou Road in Hexi formed a corridor connecting China and the West. It existed as early as [-] years ago. The chaos in the Central Plains ended and the trade routes were re-opened. Why take it away? And the trade routes in Qinghai still exist today. , isn’t there still a caravan passing by?”

He said earnestly: "Messenger Gar, you only see competition in your eyes, but I see win-win in my eyes!"

Xue Le responded immediately: "It's a win-win for Datang and Tuyuhun, how wonderful!"

Li Yan nodded, then sighed again: "Tuyuhun went out to plunder, it was Fu Yun who was too greedy, enslaved the people, and always wanted what he couldn't get, which led to his perdition. Is it a lesson from the past?"

Bren Zanjian: "..."

You scold again!
Seeing that Bolun Zanren couldn't hold back, Li Yan still refused to let him go. He caught a sheep and killed it. Be careful not to do whatever you want!"

Li Yan looked at this person and found that he was a thin middle-aged man with a tight waist. Compared with other plateau people, his appearance was somewhat refined, and he spoke Chinese very standardly: "I don't know who you are?"

Bren Zanren introduced: "This one is for things, Su Hegui."

In the matter, Tubo copied the official titles of the Central Plains, ranking among the top civil servants, a bit similar to the deputies of the three provinces, and can assist the ruling of the big and small.

Tubo sent one Ruben and one Shizhong to welcome the envoys, which was impeccable in terms of etiquette.

But Li Yan's expression sank immediately: "Su Hegui? You rebelled against Tuyuhun and led the Tubo army to invade my Tang Dynasty?"

In any war between countries, a teacher should be famous. Su and Gui are the excuses for Tubo to attack Tuyuhun.

This person betrayed the country and sought glory, and was rewarded, and now he is also sitting in a high position in Tubo.

It's just that envoy Tang told me about this in person, which made Su Hegui change color slightly, and said with a dry smile, "Vice envoy Li actually knows that I am definitely not a traitor, but a joint discussion by all the chiefs..."

"To shut up!"

Li Yan stopped abruptly: "You traitor who betrayed the Khanate, how dare you tell stories and bark in front of me?"

He looked at Bren Zanren again: "Tuyuhun is my Tang Dynasty's vassal state, you actually sent traitors to lead the way, do you intend to humiliate my Tang envoy?"

Buren Zanren hurriedly said: "That's absolutely not the case. I, Tubo, sincerely invited the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to enter the country. How can I be humiliated?"

Just as Su and Gui were about to talk, Li Yiyan rode up to him: "What's going on?"

Li Yan explained the matter, Li Yiyan glanced at Su Hegui coldly, and raised his banner directly: "Turn around, I'll wait to go back!"

The envoys turned their horses up and down in unison, and Shen Juyuan even muttered: "Since Tubo intends to humiliate, and intends to start a full-scale war with our Tang Dynasty, then let's meet each other!"

Bren praised the blade anxiously: "Wait a minute! Wait a moment!"

Su Hegui knew that he could not let the other party continue to take advantage of the situation, so he hurriedly said: "Since I caused the Tang envoy to misunderstand, then I will leave, all envoys please calm down! Calm down!"

Li Yiyan spit out a word: "Get lost!"

Su Hegui held back his anger, and before leaving, he gave Bren Zanren a look: "Gar Ruben, I will go to Fucheng City first, and make the city ready for reception. If there is any change on the way, we should send the envoys first It's better to send them to the general's camp, and the thieves in the prison van will be interrogated by the general first!"

Brenzan understood: "You are very thoughtful, go!"

Li Yan and Li Yiyan exchanged glances.

Obviously, Tubo didn't want the Tang envoys to go to the Tuyuhun royal city Fuqi, and they didn't want to see the Tang envoys escorting these secret guard prisoners to meet Zanpu.

Therefore, the other party's arrangement is very clear. To bring them into the Tubo camp, Qinling should have a team of elite guards personally send them to the Tubo royal city, Luosuo City, to meet Zanpu, finish the envoy etiquette, and send them away as soon as possible. .

How could Li Yiyan agree, and asked, "I just heard what the traitor said, that Garru was going to send us to the military camp? This is the etiquette of which country treats envoys. I want to ask for advice!"

Bren Zanyan rolled his eyes: "Li Zhengshi misunderstood, what Su Hegui means is that if we can't go to Fucheng City, we will rest in the camp first!"

Li Yandao: "According to this, there will be an accident on the road ahead?"

Bren Zanren looked around and said, "Look, everyone, this land of Tuyuhun is desolate, and there are many robbers nearby. If there are any thieves who don't open their eyes, for the sake of the safety of the envoys, they will naturally go to the barracks." what!"

The threat was obvious, Li Yan's eyes lit up, and everyone's eyes fell.

But looking at the surrounding environment, they had to admit that it was really desolate along the way.

In fact, there are still many farming areas in Tuyuhun, especially around Qinghai, and they are not completely nomadic like the grasslands.

The fields that can be seen are all deserted, and no one is farming food anymore.

Li Yan asked directly: "Although Qinghai is not a rich place compared to my country in the Tang Dynasty, it also has the conditions for farming and animal husbandry. How can this be so?"

Bren praised the sword: "The Qiang people in Tuyuhun refused to accept the new Khan's control and committed chaos. My brother had no choice but to send soldiers to encircle and suppress. It will inevitably hurt the farming. It is helpless!"

Li Yiyan said: "The root of war is to fight for national power. Although my Tang Dynasty lost in the battle of Dafeichuan, it will soon regain its momentum. When the heavenly army marches, I don't know that with Tubo's national strength, it can be tens of thousands at every turn." Wan's army is mighty, and there are mouths that want to eat food behind him, how long can he last?"

Shen Juyuan understood: "It turns out that Qinling's withdrawal was not only because of the fear of our Tang Dynasty army, but also because of the lack of food and grass. The grain production in Tuyuhun is not harvested. How can he supply his army with Tubo alone?"

Bren praised the sword and said coldly: "My brother is so powerful. He withdrew to abide by the peace covenant he made with General Xue. He is afraid of your Tang army! As for the lack of food and grass, can't the countries in the Western Regions provide it? The battle of Dafeichuan After that, they can beg for mercy on me, Tubo!"

Shen Juyuan wanted to quarrel again: "Nonsense! You..."

Li Yan stopped the food addict, and said flatly: "It's meaningless to quarrel, stop here, let's hurry up, enter Fucheng City first, and then talk about other things!"

Bren Zanren's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words, a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he rode away.

Next, everyone speeded up.

The Qinghai area is the essence of Tuyuhun. Fucheng City is fifty miles west of Qinghai. The closer to the center, the more tribal villages, and there are herdsmen driving cattle and sheep. Finally, there is some weather.

The little prince at the back of the convoy finally regained his senses, looked at these people, and compared with the prosperous counties and counties in the Tang Dynasty, his eyes were at a loss: "Is this my Khanate?"

Xue Le said in a hoarse voice: "It is the invasion of the Tubo people and the successive years of wars that have turned the Khanate into such a state. We have suffered too much. If it hadn't been for this, I would not have fled to Liangzhou and went to the third prince's residence." !"

The little prince fell silent.

On the other side, Shangguan Wan'er was immersed in the book, her face was full of dedication.

Lion Cong has strong feet and a small body, so she can barely feel any bumps when sitting on horseback, and her hands are steady when reading.

After finishing a book borrowed from the Liangzhou library, she carefully put it in the book bag and put it behind Li Yan: "Master, master, why did you let me read the book by myself?"

Li Yandao: "Because I believe in your self-taught talent!"

Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head: "Huh?"

Li Yandao: "I am a person who will only do it with energy when I encounter something I like. I am actually very lazy when I encounter something I am not good at. Teaching apprentices is something I am not good at. If I am not as talented as you , one in a million, I won't accept you."

Shangguan Wan'er was flattered by the compliment: "Master, am I really that good?"

Li Yan smiled: "It's really good that you become more confident."

Shangguan Wan'er became more and more happy, she stopped disturbing her master and began to study by herself again.

Li Yan is happier. He can fish fish in his work, and he can fish fish in teaching apprentices.

But thinking about what might happen next, he took special care and said: "Tonight, you take Xiao Hei and go to sleep next to your uncle. Broadcom will protect you. Don't be afraid of any movement, and don't use your half-baked silver needle to show off." ,Understand?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded heavily: "Understood!"

After agreeing, he asked with some concern: "Then what are you going to do, Master?"

Then she heard her master's tone become obviously excited: "I'm going to do what I like, I really hope that the night will come early, and they will come and deliver it!"
