Chapter 85 You have what we desperately need
Chapter 85 You have something we need urgently
When Ashinagushe saw Chen Ying's harmless face, it was hard to believe that Chen Ying was actually the "Chen Rentu" passed down by the Turks.
In this era, staring at someone is a very rude behavior. Of course, let alone a big man.
Chen Ying was slightly unhappy. The cavalry and soldiers beside him were shaking their horses' hooves and clamoring, and they were all full of anger!
Livestock are the most sensitive to things like "killing aura". The horses under the Asana Valley are war horses, and they are more sensitive to murderous aura. This strong murderous aura made it feel extremely dangerous. He was shocked at the moment and immediately retreated in a hurry to dodge.
Not only Ashina Valley, but also the war horses under Goshunur are just the same.
Asina Gushi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and crawled towards Chen Ying. Asina Gushi crawled to Chen Ying's battle horse, arched his waist and acted as a stool for the horse.
Chen Ying was not used to treating people as beasts, even Turkic people.
Chen Ying turned over and dismounted.
But Asina Gushe climbed to Chen Ying's feet and said in a bad Tang Dynasty saying: "Asina Gushe, the son of the Great Turkic Yipidulu Khan, see General Chen!"
Chen Ying originally wanted to come forward to help Ashinagusai up, but the sour smell on the man's body and the unique odor of the leather armor almost smoked out all the food he ate yesterday. It smelled... It was so smelly, it was a very large mobile garbage station!
Fortunately, Chen Ying was extraordinary after all. He smiled gently and said, "Little Khan doesn't have to be too polite. He has come all the way, thank you for your hard work!"
As he said that, Chen Ying ordered: "Give me the little Khan a welcome!"
"Cheer the air and wash away the dust!" The original meaning is to hold a banquet to entertain guests from afar, but now Chen Ying is really wash away the dust. Under the kindness of the Tang army soldiers, including the Asina Valley, all the Turks were taken to Tangquan Valley outside Beiting City.
Tangquan Valley naturally could not be contaminated by this group of Turks. They were taken to a huge tent, which was densely packed with dozens of large wooden barrels with chest heights.
As soon as Geshunur jumped into the hot wooden barrel, he saw a Tang soldier pinch his nose, hooking his leather robe with an iron hook and walking out.
The Turks were very concerned about etiquette. Geshunur crawled into the wooden barrel with his bare butt, and chased out of the tent despite the cold weather.
However, the Tang soldiers took the lead and threw Geshunur's broken sheepskin robe and the fragments on his body into the burning fire.
Geshunur shouted and quickly rescued his burned sheepskin robe from the fire. He extinguished the flames on the sheepskin regardless of the flames. Seeing that the sheepskin robe had been burned, he shook the charred sheepskin robe and shouted at the Katang Army soldiers: "What are you doing?"
The Tang army soldiers looked at the burning bubbles on Geshunur's hands, smiled and pointed to a pile of new down jackets next to them, saying, "Your leather robes are old, General Chen rewards you with new ones!"
Geshunur's sharp eyes became gentle. This pile of new down jackets did not have the fishy smell of sheepskin robes, and was very soft, not only clean, but also better warm.
Like Asina Gusai, Geshunur hugged his new down jacket and went back into the tent to take a shower.
Just as Ashinagushe and others were going to take a shower, Su Dingfang was holding a knife belonging to Ashinagushe and looked at Chen Ying and said, "These two scimitars are made of inferior iron, dull and soft, and they will be scrapped after a few chops. If you look closely, you will see many gaps on it. It is hard to believe that this is the equipment of a prince's guard! It is obvious that those cavalrymen who were guest stars with herders cannot have better equipment. No wonder the Western Turks have not yet decided the winner after five years. Such a knife, our Mingguang armor, can't cut them even if they cut them."
Su Dingfang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. As early as when Ashinagu shot at him and asked to surrender to Chen Ying, he wanted to pull Yibidulu Khan over as an ally, to avoid Yibidulu Khan's harassment of Anxi, and to the other hand, to have more strength to fight against the numerous Turkic tribes. Unexpectedly, Yibidulu Khan's strength was so weak, which was really unworthy.
Su Dingfang sighed: "With such equipment, it's really not worthwhile to join them!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Don't you think now is the best time to conquer the troops of Yipi Dulu Khan? What is the best way to add icing on the cake?"
When Chen Ying saw Ashinagushe and Goshunur again, they had already changed their appearance. They were dressed neatly and had no smell.
Asina Gu Xue smiled and said, "Thank you General Chen for the reward!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "The border area is poor and lacks money. I can't bring out any good things to greet the little Khan. My friend has good wine and I'm talking about it. Come on, I'm honoring it first!"
After rushing so far, Asunagushe was already tired and hungry. Looking at the jar of mellow white wine, he couldn't help but shouted, "Don't do it!"
As he said that, Ashinagu opened the mud seal, picked up the jar of wine, and tilted it to the bottom of his throat, and drank a cow drink, and poured a whole jar of white wine into his mouth. After saying that, he shook his hair and shouted: "The fragrance is strong, good wine, good wine!"
Chen Ying just took a small sip and saw that Ashinagus was so heroic, and he also said with some appreciation: "Little Khan is indeed heroic."
Asina Gushe was honest and smiled bitterly: "It's not heroic, it's really greedy! To be honest, General Chen has been drinking for four months. For us Turkic men, life is worse than death without alcohol!"
The Turkic warriors led by Goshunur were worried!
Chen Ying laughed and said, "Little Khan is so quick-witted... There are not many other things in Beiting City now, and there are so many wines. Today we can have a good time and never return without getting drunk!"
The wine and vegetables are not light and very rich. There are eight hot dishes and eight cold dishes, eight meaty vegetables, but they are all full of color, fragrance and taste, and you will drool just by looking at them. The wine is pure grain wine made from grain, which is very pleasing to Asina Gushe's appetite. This guy has no time to see Chen Ying's expression. After sitting down, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and threw his cheeks and ate wildly, making the cup and plate messy.
However, these men who grew up on the grassland almost struggled to survive from birth. Most people have not received any education. They cannot learn to be more rude and have a lesser appearance. There is no need to be too demanding.
After seeing the handsome man's eating behavior, Chen Ying had no appetite and toasted Ashinagushi one cup after another.
In fact, this mellow white wine is really not in line with the tastes of the people of the Central Plains. After all, Chen should not be a brewer, but simply uses the distillation process, which is strong and rinsing. Otherwise, why would cellar wine be popular in later generations? It is mainly because the wine that has just been distilled is too strong, although it has been settled in time.
Asina Gusai was eating happily, and Geshunur ran in with his feet with wind, and shouted in shock: "Little Khan, no...no! Ahe is very angry!"
Asunaya asked in surprise: "Die? Why did you die!"
Geshunur smiled bitterly and said, "He ate too much steamed buns and meat, and he was so full of energy!"
Even the veins on Ashinagushe bulged one by one, and he wanted to scold him, but he didn't know how to scold him. It was so weird. A samurai who was as strong as a cow actually died at the dinner table. Hell!
Chen Ying said a little apologetically: "Little Khan, I'm really sorry. It's my fault. I didn't remind the servants to control the supply of food!"
Ashinagushi smiled bitterly and said, "General Chen, this has nothing to do with you. It's that idiot who is too greedy... In fact, we can't blame him. We haven't eaten enough for half a year. Suddenly seeing so many delicious foods, how can he control his mouth?"
Asunagus waved his hand and asked Geshunur to find a place to bury Ah's sold-out, so that he would not bother him with these messy things.
After Geshunur left, Chen Ying asked in surprise: "Little Khan, you said you haven't eaten enough for more than half a year. Are you really tired to this point?"
Ashinagushe said bitterly: "To be honest with General Chen, since his father Khan was defeated by Ashinahelu in the battle of the Doros River (now the source of the Ertise River), he has never had the opportunity to stop and take a breath. The Ashinahelu soldiers have been chasing us relentlessly. The tribes that once surrendered to us have turned against each other. They have sneaked into us when they find an opportunity, causing us to be beaten everywhere and suffer heavy losses. Until now, we have only less than 100,000 livestock, and less than 40,000 war horses. There is no food in the tribe, and they don't just eat those skinny and bone-skinned livestock. Many herders have reached the point of changing their children to eat. You can't imagine this kind of embarrassment."
When Chen Ying and Su Dingfang heard the four words "Every Zi and Eat", they were slightly moved.
I don’t know how many words appear in history books, “Eat when changing children, breaking bones to cook”. The short eight words, but their tragic nature has exceeded the limit of everyone’s psychological endurance, making people unable to bear to read and think about it.
No matter which side you happen to, it is worthy of sympathy, because you are a human being, and secondly, from which country you are from. As long as you are a human being, you cannot completely destroy your conscience!
Fortunately, Chen Ying was stronger in this time and space than in history.
Otherwise, when the Turks were at a loss, they would definitely invade the Tang Dynasty and pass on their losses to the Tang Dynasty.
Asina Gushe is also knowledgeable and knows how to observe the face and look at the face. When he sees Chen Ying's expression, he knows that there is a chance. He stands up while the iron is hot, bows deeply to Chen Ying, and says, "General Chen, Gu Shi's father Khan is ordered to come to Beiting. First, he hopes that the relationship with the Tang Dynasty can be restored, and the Turks and Han tribes will continue to live peacefully. Second, he hopes that the Tang Dynasty can raise a batch of food to let our troops overcome difficulties. Please show our compassion for our troops to fight side by side with the Sui Dynasty and fight against the Eastern Turks together!"
Speaking of this, the tough guy shed tears. All the pride of the heavens and the pride of the grassland eagle were thrown aside, knocking his head repeatedly, knocking his forehead so hard that blood was seen.
He didn't want to act such a humble attitude, but there was no way. Many tribe members starved to death every day, and the Tang army of Anxi guarded the edge walls as if they were iron walls. Even if the more than 40,000 people in their tribes were killed by the edge walls, they could not break into the edges. They grabbed a grain of food, besides begging Chen Ying to show his compassion, he really didn't do anything else he could do.
Chen Ying quickly stood up and helped Ashinagu up and said, "Little Khan must not do this! As the Little Khan said, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty were one, and your subordinates were in trouble. I also expressed deep sympathy and would like to help you, but..."
Asunayashi was shocked and said, "But what?"
Chen Ying pondered: "After all, Anxi was ravaged by war and was in ruins. She had just recovered a little energy and probably couldn't take out much food. Besides, many businesses spent a lot of money in Anxi's settlement this time, so they couldn't waste all their money, right?"
Ashigu Shi's heart sank and said anxiously: "Please rest assured General Chen. We Turkic men know that it is better or worse. If the general helps us, we will repay us with all our might and will not let you suffer any losses!"
As he said that, he knelt down again and said, "General Chen, please save us!"
Chen Ying pretended to be helpless, then helped him up and said, "If you have something to say, don't kneel down at any time... It is definitely not OK to give you free food. Thank you for your hard work for half a year, and we just had enough food, so how can we give it for free? But we can open a border market, and you can exchange it for things!"
Asunaguishi was overjoyed and said, "Really!" Then he said in great frustration: "Even if the general is willing to reopen the border market, we are afraid we can't get anything to exchange it. Now we have nothing!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Yes, you have something we urgently need!"
Asunaya shook his head and said, "What else do we have... nothing but this bad life!"
Chen Ying looked at Ashinagushe and said lightly, smiling without saying anything, everything was indifferent.
Seeing this scene, Asunagus looked at Chen Ying with extraordinary confusion and said, "What does General Chen need urgently?"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Horse! Your horse!"
Asina Valley felt a pain in pain and said in a speechless manner: "We...we have less than 40,000 war horses left!"
Chen Ying continued: "You have less than 40,000 war horses left. What about... what about the horses? Where is the camel?"
Asina Valley said unexpectedly: "The general wants to take the horse and the camel?"
In his impression, the only purpose of opening a border market in the Tang Dynasty was to obtain war horses. As for horse hunting, there were many in the pass, and there was no need to do it at all.
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Anxi has a lot of fertile fields to be reclaimed, and plowing fields cannot be separated from plows and rakes, and plows and rakes cannot be separated from large livestock. The journey from selling cattle from the inner palace is too far away and expensive, and cattle are also needed in the inner palace, so I hope the little prince can get a batch of horses and camels to exchange for food. We each get the needs, you get life-saving food, and we get enough animal power."
