Things happened too suddenly, and in just a few breaths, everything was settled.
Everyone in the tent looked at the dead body and the pool of blood on the ground, and they were all shocked for a moment.
No one expected that Hao Linggu would become so angry that he assassinated the Tang envoy on the spot; but they also did not expect that Zhou Jun would react so quickly, not only dodging the attack, but also completing the counterattack.
In the field, Zhou Jun's face was calm and calm, but his hands were trembling slightly.
He put his hands into his sleeves without leaving any trace, stared at the body on the ground, and thought about everything that had just happened.
In his previous life as a police officer, he had faced thugs armed with sharp weapons several times.
Based on the opponent's body shape, speed and mental state, Zhou Jun can roughly estimate how far away from the opponent is a safe distance.
The natural alertness of the profession, coupled with the martial arts he learned from Aunt Gongsun after coming to the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Jun focused all his attention on his back even though he was talking. All factors combined together, this
In order to complete the counter-kill with one blow.
However, most of the responses to thugs in his previous life were to make them incapacitated. However, this was the first time Zhou Jun had directly killed people like this.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Jun looked around and said loudly: "The Bashmi tribe is murderous and cruel. They actually want to assassinate the Tang envoy in front of you. Everyone has seen it."
Everyone in the tent looked at each other and nodded.
At this time, Peluo, who was sitting in the seat, said: "Cut off the head of Haolenggu and hang it on the banner at the entrance of the camp. All members of the Bashmi tribe will be beheaded, leaving no one alive."
After listening to Tu Lishi's translation, Zhou Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The words of Bone Strength Peiro were tantamount to issuing a declaration of war against Bashmi.
This mission was finally successful.
Soon, Haolenggu's body was dragged away, and Guli Pei Luo invited Zhou Jun to take the seat.
The leaders and nobles of the various tribes in the tent spoke to Zhou Jun in respecting the Tang Dynasty, and scolded the Bashmi tribe to seek their own death, and God would surely destroy them.
Zhou Jun just smiled when he heard this, knowing in his heart that these people were just following the trend.
Bone Strength Pei Luo asked Zhou Jun about Wang Zhongsi's plan to send troops to the Turks.
Zhou Jun replied: If the Bashmi tribe is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the rear of the Northern Expedition against the Turks.
Pei Luo, a strong man with strong bones, believed this and gave Zhou Jun a promise on the spot. The Uighurs would unite with other tribes of the nine surnames and send troops to defeat Ximi as soon as possible, so as to relieve the worries of the Northern Expedition to the Turks.
Zhou Jun thanked him and formally handed over Wang Duhu's letter and order to Pei Luo on the spot.
After finishing all this, Pei Luo, the bone strength, asked Tu Lishi to accompany Zhou Jun to the side tent, while he stayed to discuss with the other leaders about sending troops.
After leaving Ye Hu's tent, Zhou Jun saw Sun Aying and others waiting anxiously outside the door.
Sun Aying and other Tang soldiers saw Zhou Jun with large blood stains on his body. They were frightened and stepped forward to protect the latter while questioning him loudly.
Zhou Jun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this blood belongs to others."
After everyone heard this, they gave up.
Tu Lishi led Zhou Jun and others to the side tent, where they again served fine wine and delicacies.
Zhou Jun divided Shuofang's soldiers into three squads. One squad was eating, while the other two squads were on sentry duty. The cycle went on and on, and Tu Lishi was just amazed when he saw it.
After finally finishing the meal, although it was still early in the morning, the long journey and the high level of mental stress just now made Zhou Jun apologize to Tulishi and plan to go to rest first.
After arranging the sentry duty, Zhou Jun opened the curtain of the tent and saw a beautiful woman wearing a round collar, slit formal robe and colorful makeup on her face.
Zhou Jun and the woman's eyes met. The former was just stunned, while the latter lowered her head shyly.
Looking next to the woman again, Zhou Jun found that the corner of the tent was filled with silk, gold goods and valuable products.
Zhou Jun, who instantly understood what was going on, returned from the camp and said to Sun Aying who was on guard: "Call the person in charge of Huihe."
After a while, Huihe Haji, who was in charge of receiving the Tang Dynasty envoy, hurried over, looked at Zhou Jun and asked in fear: "I wonder what the Tang envoy has ordered?"
Zhou Jun pointed at the aggrieved Uighur woman in the tent and said, "Take her out first."
Haji glanced at the woman and replied hesitantly: "Tang Envoy, this is the sixth daughter of the Hulote tribe. She is not yet married, and her beauty is famous far and wide..."
Zhou Jun said impatiently: "I'm not in the mood."
After traveling for more than ten days, there were disasters and bandits on the road. Finally, they arrived in Uihe, and there was also an assassination. The exhausted Zhou Jun wanted to do the most right now, which was to fall asleep.
Seeing that Haji had taken away the Uighur woman, Zhou Jun pointed to the pile of belongings in the camp and said, "Get these gifts back too."
Huihe Haji was stunned when he heard this, and said uneasily: "But in the past..."
Zhou Jun scratched his head and remembered something.
If all the gifts were returned, the Uighur people might still be afraid, thinking that the Tang envoy was dissatisfied and had other ideas.
In desperation, Zhou Jun could only soften his tone and said to Haji: "These gifts are too many and precious, I deserve them... Let's keep one third and take back all the rest.
"
Seeing Zhou Jun's insistence, Haji could no longer persuade him, so he sent people to retrieve most of the gifts, leaving only one third.
Zhou Jun called Sun Aying again, and under the shocked gaze of the Huihe people, he distributed these gifts equally to every soldier in the mission.
After doing all this, Zhou Jun finally felt relieved, entered the tent, and fell into a deep sleep.
When night fell that day, Guli Peiluo, the leader of the Uighurs, sat on a velvet mat, closing his eyes and listening to the shaman of his tribe, singing and reciting scriptures in a low voice.
The sound of footsteps coming from outside the door made Bone Power Pei Luo slowly open his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to signal the shaman to leave, and then said: "Let Tulish come in."
Tu Lishi entered the account, first saluted Pei Luo, and then said: "Father, the envoy of Tang has been settled."
Bone Strength Pei Luo nodded slightly: "I have already said hello to Hu Luote. If the Tang envoy asks for it, then the woman will be given to him."
Tulishi looked a little embarrassed and said: "The Tang Dynasty envoy did not leave any daughter of the Huluote family."
Bone Strength Pei Luo was startled.
Tu Lishi added: "The Tang envoy also returned most of the gifts, leaving only one third, and all of them were given to his subordinates."
Bone Strength Pei Luo opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked: "What did Tang Envoy say?"
Tu Lishi repeated Zhou Jun's words.
After listening to this, Bone Strength Pei Luo fell into silence.
After a long time, Peluo, the bone strength, said to Tulish: "This person can be friends."
Turlish showed approval and responded.
The powerful Pei Luo sighed: "The Tang Dynasty is full of talents. Even a small official has the talent of a virtuous prime minister."
Tulishi looked at the powerful Pei Luo and asked cautiously: "Is my father worried that the Tang State will be too powerful and it will be detrimental to the Uighurs?"
The powerful Pei Luo shook his head and said: "The prosperity of the Tang State is not a big deal to the Uighurs; but the border generals' seeking power is a big deal to the Uighurs."
Tulishi looked puzzled and asked.
The bone-strength Pei Luo said: "The south is rich, but Mobei cannot compare with it."
"Since the Han Dynasty, the southerners have marched into the grassland, not to occupy land and seize cities, but to capture Jingbian."
"The southerners know that Mobei is barren. If they were to occupy it by force, it would consume a lot of troops and food. The northern tribes have their own climate, making it difficult for them to naturalize. Therefore, if they occupy it by force, the gain will not be worth the loss. It is better to fight for a suzerain.
The name."
When Tulishi heard this, he said: "My father just said that the Bian generals seeking power will be a great harm to the Uighurs. What does this mean?"
Bone Strength Pei Luo was silent for a moment and then said: "The Bashmi tribe mentioned Anlu Mountain today. The Tang envoy said that he only pursues personal gain and does not care about the overall situation. This is half right and half wrong."
Turish: "Half right, half wrong?"
There was a faint glimmer in the turbid eyes of Guli Peiluo: "An Lushan is a miscellaneous man, not a Southerner. He cannot hold a high position, nor can he ascend to the great hall."
"You may not think of him as a military governor now, but the people in the south regard him as nothing more than a loyal dog."
"I have heard some things about An Lushan. He is good at hiding things, has courage and quick wit."
"He has the blood of a wolf in his body after all, and he knows that no matter how docile he is, he cannot be tolerated by the Southern court."
"The current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty favors him. With this favor, An Lushan will naturally have no worries about food and clothing. If the new emperor succeeds to the throne, as a Jiedushi envoy and holding military power, Zahu'er will probably have to wait for death.
One way.”
Hearing this, Tu Lishi was shocked and asked in disbelief: "Father, do you mean that An Lushan will rebel in the future...?"
The bone-strength Pei Luo put his right hand to his mouth, made a gesture of silence, and continued: "An Lushan provoked Xi, Khitan and other tribes. On the surface, they were greedy for power, but in fact they were seeking military power.
."
"If I were An Lushan, under the pretext of suppressing rebellion, I would slaughter all the leaders of the tribes and then take over their clan soldiers."
"Within twenty years, all the people who control strings in Mobei will be taken under Zahu'er's command."
"At that time, even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty changes, he will never dare to anger An Lushan again."
After saying all this, Guli Peiluo sighed first, and then said: "Today, the Bashmi tribe talked about the joint resistance to the Tang Dynasty, and my father looked worried. He was not worried about the Tang Dynasty, but the Anlu Mountain."
Tulish suddenly realized it and sighed.
Pei Luo, who was strong in bone strength, slapped his back and said: "Having said that, it is too early to say anything that would confuse Hu Xi."
"When I return to the He tribe, the most important thing is to defeat the Bashmi tribe as soon as possible and then defeat the Turks."
"Only by controlling more pastures, absorbing more people, and growing in strength will my Huihe Ministry be able to protect itself if bad things happen in the future."
Tulishi nodded vigorously.
The strong-willed Peiro looked at his son and softened his tone: "You are brave in battle, smart and eager to learn, but you are too benevolent and have shortcomings in planning."
"Nine surnamed Ogus, all of them have great ambitions. If I die one day..."
Tulishi saw that his father was good at talking about life and death, so he quickly dissuaded him.
Bone Strength Pei Luo shook his head and said: "When a person dies, his body is dedicated to Bodenningli and his soul returns to the Immortal Heaven. What is the taboo?"
"What I'm worried about is that after I die and you inherit my position, the other eight surnames will be dissatisfied and cause trouble, but you can't bear to suppress it."
"Today's envoy from the Tang Dynasty, I think he has the talent of a virtuous minister. It would be best for you to make good friends with him. If you can bring him to your side, that would be the best."
"If you can't be persuaded to vote, just make good contacts with him and you will definitely be useful in the future."
