Hou Junji was wiping his waist knife in the house.
The blade is as bright as new and the blade is still extremely sharp. With a flick of the hand, the steel knife makes a crisp sound. It is a well-refined knife.
Hou Junji sighed secretly. It was a pity that this knife had not drank much human blood since it followed him, and it was a waste of great materials.
Just like his people, he thought he was handsome, but he didn't have many opportunities to lead troops in battles, especially after seeing that unlucky bearded man, he ran around all day long and spent several years in a daze.
This time it was even more... damn... He had just settled down the marriage in Chang'an, and just a few days after getting married, the bride came to such a ungrateful place and suffered humiliation again.
That guy was living a happy life. I really wanted to kill him with one knife...
This man couldn't help but talk about it. Just as he was thinking about it, someone outside shouted, "Hou, please get out of here..."
Hou Junji was so excited that he almost cut his hand with the knife. He was so rude. He couldn't help but grit his teeth. He really wanted to go out and chop off the guy's head with the knife.
Although Hou Junji was angry, he still sheathed his sword obediently, walked a few steps quickly and opened the door. He was afraid that Cheng Dabeard would kick the door open.
Cheng Zhijie rushed in furiously, grabbed Hou Junji with a face full of joy, and his devilish laughter penetrated Hou Junji's ears again.
"What are you doing hiding in the house, dear brother, instead of answering the door?"
The two guards of Hou Junji who were following Cheng Dabeard answered the door with wry smiles on their faces. You have to give us some time to answer the door, right?
Hou Junji was already used to Cheng Dabeard's "informality". Seeing his high-spirited look, he thought to himself that the queen was pregnant, right? It made him happy.
He struggled a bit, but did not break away from Cheng Dabeard's big hand. He could only smile and said: "Brother, what kind of happy event has happened to me? Come and tell me."
Cheng Dabeard grabbed Hou Junji and entered the house, laughing non-stop, "Dear brother, what did I say? Let's just wait here.
So that my dear brother will know that our people are coming..."
Hou Junji was overjoyed and asked, "Really? Is there another envoy coming, or reinforcements arriving?"
Well, no matter who arrives, it is a happy event for Hou Junji. It has been almost two years since he left Chang'an. He has sent letters back and forth several times, but he can hardly feel that the court attaches importance to their trip. So,
A feeling of abandonment bothered him all the time.
If the imperial court sends another envoy, they might...well, don't think about it when they go back. It might be good to bring some news about Chang'an.
But if the reinforcements arrive, it goes without saying that since the imperial court has sent troops to Tibet, Hou Junji will naturally have a place to use them.
Cheng's big beard is still good, he doesn't want to make people's appetites, and he is playing a nasty trick like you guessed. He is also very excited, "Of course the reinforcements have arrived, and the vanguard has already arrived at Domi. If we hurry, we can arrive at the city gate tomorrow.
We have to prepare for the arrival of the army. Let me tell you, there are many people coming. The messenger said there are more than 10,000 people, which is more than enough to destroy Subidu.
Dear brother, what should we do as envoys? We can’t let others take our credit, right?”
Hou Junji was shocked when he heard that more than 10,000 people went to the high ground? The capital of the imperial court was quite high. Based on the experience of more than a year, it was not easy to send so many people to Supi.
It’s just that this time he thought Cheng Dabeard was right and couldn’t allow others to take away their credit. “With so many people here, the DPRK is quite ambitious.”
More than 10,000 people are nothing to people like them who have experienced battles for a long time, but if they are all cavalry, it is another story.
If it appeared again in an environment like the plateau, it would be even more incredible. How many men would it take to gather all the adult men in Tubo who could fight?
Cheng Dabeard pulled Hou Junji to sit down, nodded and said: "There are many people and horses, how brave... Without His Majesty's edict, how could Liangzhou dare to launch troops?"
Your Majesty, you have never seen that as long as you have soldiers and generals, there is nothing you can't do. Your Majesty has sent people here, and it seems that they are going to completely destroy Tubo."
Hou Junji gave the bearded man a sidelong glance and thought to himself that he was showing off to me again. He was really unworthy of a man.
He calculated in his mind that more than 10,000 troops would destroy Tubo... It shouldn't be anything on flat land, but here, it would be quite a chore...
Hou Junji's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "Although there are fewer Tubo soldiers and horses, people have lived here for generations. The right time, place and people are not with us. If there is no help from the Supi people, I will be afraid that ten thousand more people will come here."
It is also a futile effort.
And this is where our credit lies. We are not afraid of being taken away. When the army arrives, I think what we should do is to get some military power...
My brother and the queen are in good terms, so I must appease the Supi people. I'm afraid they will be frightened when they see the army. If they can't fight the enemy together, they will have to guard their backs, and then their hands and feet will be tied up.
The other one is food and grass. When the army comes here, Liangzhou will definitely not be able to count on it. The Supi people have to support these things. Brother, do you think they can do a good job?"
Cheng Dabeard patted his thigh, "If the news is serious, my first thought will be Brother Xian. Take a look, what Brother Xian said makes sense. I don't think too much about it and am just happy."
Hou Junji was immediately struck and laughed reservedly.
"Where is this person? Can you please come over and let me see him?"
Cheng Dabeard smiled and said: "Everyone is exhausted. Now that we have the news, let's discuss it first without hurrying... Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with the Queen. And, hey, once the army arrives, it will be better."
Can you stand them?"
Hou Junji still has some moral bottom lines. After all, the Supi people have not treated them badly. In addition to not sleeping with the queen in his arms, the young women in Nangeer City can wave to the Tang Dynasty as long as they are willing.
Come.
This kind of hospitality was beyond the scope of an envoy. Hou Junji knew that Cheng Dabeard had contributed a lot. What he envied most now was Cheng Zhijie's ability to make friends.
Hou Junji, who had received a lot of benefits from others, felt that he should help the Supi people within his own ability. At least he could not be as cold-blooded as Cheng Zhijie, who would fall out whenever he wanted.
Of course, having been with Cheng Dashu for so long, he would not try to persuade him to make this person have a conscience. Normal people have those things, but I don’t know if Cheng Dashu has Hou Junji.
Moreover, Cheng Zhi’s plan was too upright, how could he persuade him?
Hou Junji asked at this time, "Who is leading the troops?"
Cheng Bearded said: "This is General Ashina Danai of the Youwu Guard. Have you heard of him, dear brother?"
Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "It turns out to be that ugly ghost. It turns out to be him. I've seen him before. My brother forgot that when I was in Liangzhou, General Ashina was ordered to come to the rescue with General Zhang and others. After that,
He has been leading troops and stationed in Liangzhou.
Although I'm not familiar with him, I've met him before."
Cheng Zhijie stroked his beard and nodded. Ashina Danai was once the Sima of Qianniu Prefecture and joined the army, and was his superior officer. However, he was the brother of Concubine Ashina, and he could not make friends with a Henan general.
"Coincidentally, I also know him, but General Ashina is a relative and comes from the Western Turkic royal family. If he is leading the army, we should be more careful."
Hou Junji said in surprise: "What? Has my brother offended him?"
Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said: "That's not true. General Ashina served as Sima of Qianniu Beishen Prefecture and joined the army. He was very strict in running the army. In addition, he is a relative and has an unusual status. I will not offend him easily, and my dear brother also
It’s better to be cautious.”
Hou Junji became a little nervous to be able to make the careless Cheng Dabeard speak like this, wondering why General Zhang didn't come?
Ashina Danai, the thing that impressed him the most was that the other party was very ugly. The other things were really not that important. After he resigned from the post of Liangzhou Sima and joined the army, Ashina Danai concurrently served as General Youwuwei.
Liangzhou Sima.
Cheng Dabeard frightened Hou Junji to prevent him from talking too much about his treachery. He turned around and said with a smile: "I just want to tell my dear brother, I'm not afraid of anything. After all, I have an old relationship with the emperor.
If you want to say that Xiandi worked for Li Yuan back then, he should have been colleagues with him, right?"
Hou Junji was not angry after being exposed by Cheng Dabeard. They had not been together for more than a year or two, and they knew each other well. Cheng Zhijie was also a subordinate general of Henan. He not only served for Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others, but also ran errands with Li Jiancheng.
Speaking of which, he is not much better than Hou Junji.
"At that time, he was Li Da's disciple, and I was working for Li Er. We even went to conquer Xue Ju with the army, but we never even met him. How could we have any friendship?"
At that time, the status of the two was almost the same. Hou Junji was able to take charge of his own role because of Li Shimin's appreciation. He was actually much stronger than Ashina Danai.
This is not because of any other reason, but because Ashina Danai is too ugly and is not welcomed wherever she goes.
Now that they have become relatives of the emperor, Conglong Zhichen and Hou Junji are far behind them. In a few years, the gap has widened.
Hou Junji silently sighed in his heart. It was really thirty years from Hedong to thirty years from Hexi. Feng Shui has changed. Now he has received a large number of soldiers, but what is he, Hou Junji, doing?
Seeing that Hou Junji's mood was obviously depressed, Cheng Zhijie stopped acting like a monster and just threatened him. There was no need to go too far. He was afraid that these two people were old acquaintances. With Hou Junji's nonsense, he might
Sold him, Lao Cheng.
As for what Cheng Zhijie's things were worthy of investigation, he himself didn't know. Anyway, he felt that he had done a lot of extraordinary things...
For example, Hou Junji said to someone, "I want to take people south to Luoche City, but I am repeatedly blocked by Cheng Zhijie. If your words reach the ears of the emperor, where will he be sent next time?"
At this time, Hou Junji asked again, "Isn't General Ashina the only one leading the army?"
Cheng Dashu said: "Of course, there are also General Chen Li of Zuo Yuwei, Sima of Zuo Yiwei who joined the army in Wutong, and Ashina Tong'er. That man walked back from Dunhuang with us. My dear brother will not forget it.
Bar?"
