Chapter 55 The Khitan Prince

The Tang army was about to move, and the Khitan suddenly sent an envoy. This was the first time that the envoy had come into contact with the envoy since the Tang army drove the Khitan eastward.

The person who came was actually a young man who seemed to be in his twenties, but the top down of the Tiance regime was mostly young people. Among the people in the rank of Zhonglang General, 70% of those in their twenties accounted for 70% or 80% of them, and more than that, so it was not surprising to Zhang Mai that this young man named Yelu Ruan did not deliberately show arrogance after entering the tent. This was the normal behavior of the Khitans towards the Central Plains regime in recent decades, nor was they tired of defeat. Instead, they first asked a private matter respectfully: "Do you dare to ask the marshal, is your father okay in Liangzhou?"

Zhang Mai was stunned and asked, "Your father? In Liangzhou?" There are many people in the Central Plains in the Lianglan area now, even from Bashu, Wu and Chu. Those who came to Lianglan from the Khitan were either spies or small merchants. There were no outstanding people like Guo Wei and Fan Zhi at the moment.

Yelu Ruan smiled heartily and said, "My father Yelu Be."

Zhang Mai shouted, and secretly called himself confused. The leaders in the world had a kind of great ability to know and remember thousands of names in his heart, and could still remember people and things that happened when they met and heard from him clearly decades later. This type of person is most suitable for being a big bureaucrat and a genius, Yan Song of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongzhang of the Qing Dynasty, and Hu Shi of the Republic of China. Zhang Mai's intelligence is not here, and his ability in this aspect is the level of an ordinary person, even Ma Xiaochun is much better than him. After hearing Yelu Ruan's Taoist family, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person in Lu Jialing's information. Ma Xiaochun had already heard that Zhang Mai nodded slightly, knocked on several cases and said, "Are you Yelu Wuyou?"

Yelu Ruan sat down at this time and bowed again and said, "It was my nephew. My father was chaotic and displaced in the Central Plains, and it was too late to be safe. Fortunately, I got settled down when I arrived at the marshal. My nephew felt grateful in his heart and often burned incense to pray in the north. One is to pray for my father's health and the other is to wish the marshal's life."

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Prince Yelu knows a lot about my Chinese idiom customs."

Yelu Ruan's words just now revealed at least two information. One is that he is quite familiar with Chinese language. In the Khitan, those who are familiar with Chinese language usually mean that they admire Chinese language. Considering that he is Yelu Bei's son, it is more likely. Second, he obviously has secret information with Yelu Bei, especially considering that Yelu Ruan has been following the army for so long and the news has been passed on, he can still get Yelu Bei's recent situation so quickly. Obviously, the father and son still maintain close contact.

Since Yelu Ruan entered the tent, he did not look like the defeated general. The atmosphere in the tent seemed a little familiar. When he just came in, the elite soldiers and powerful generals set up a tent, and they were extremely powerful. At this time, Zhang Mai waved his hand, and except for Ma Xiaochun, all the people below the general withdrew, leaving only Murong Chunhua and others.

Zhang Mai's sitting posture became casual, and he introduced Murong Chunhua, Ma Jirong, Xi Sheng and Li Bin who had just arrived. These four people were well-known, and with the victory of the Tang army in Tiance, the waters rose even higher. Yelu Ruan had seen it one by one and said, "The three generals and the great names of the military commander Li, Yelu Ruan was well-known, but why didn't he see General Yingyang and General Shi? I don't know which one was the one who set up a car array outside Beiluntai City? I don't know if the silver spear general who almost rushed to me was there? Is it true that he was the sharpshooter who shot the Uighur Huolan with one arrow? I wonder if I can see him?"

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "The person who set up the car formation is Guo Wei, the general under my command, the general of the silver spear is Yang Xin, and the person who shot the Uighurs is Xu Congshi. These two of them are my favorite generals. Yang Yishiba, there is another important matter. General Yelu doesn't need to worry. Take good care of yourself, and you will always have a chance to meet in the future. It's not in Liangzhou, but in Mobei, but in Huangshui, but in the Central Plains."

This sentence is light, but it has the ambition to sweep the world and cover the universe! If Yelu Ruan had to sneer a month ago, his face changed slightly at this time, and then he said: "Since our Khitan risen, we have fought east and west, opened borders and destroyed the country. Although the marshal's army is prosperous, it is only a trend of prosperity. With its foundation for several years, the Tiance Army may not be able to overwhelm the country."

Zhang Mai laughed and said, "You are wrong."

"Is my nephew wrong?"

"Of course I was wrong." Zhang Mai smiled and said, "You are wrong just by calling me. We are not the Tiance Army."

Yelu Ruan was stunned and didn't know what Zhang Mai meant.

Zhang Mai said: "The so-called Tiance Army is just because I call General Tiance and opened Tiance Mansion, and the people are just like the people. Therefore, this temporary title is called "Admiral Tiance" and "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" are "The People" and "The People" are "The People" and "The People" are "The People" and "The People" are "The People" and "The People" are "The People" and "The People" are "The People" and "The People" are "A joke."

Yelu Ruan said with a polite smile: "The Li Tang Dynasty has long been destroyed. When people talk about the Tang Dynasty today, they usually talk about the emperor of Luoyang."

Zhang Mai couldn't help laughing wildly when he heard this. Yelu Ruan laughed inexplicably and said, "Did you say it wrong?"

"Of course you were wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong." Zhang Mai said: "But it's no wonder you. Although you have read a few books, you probably only know a little bit about what China is, what Han and Tang dynasties are. General Yelu, do you know why I can sweep the northwest in a few years and be intimidating the world?"

Yelu Ruan said: "Please give me advice."

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "The so-called Chinese, the so-called Han and Tang dynasties are not one family, so the Liu family is still there, and the Li family is still dead, and the Tang dynasties has not yet perished. We are not a family. Therefore, although Anlong and the Central Plains are different now, they will eventually become family again, because we are all pursuing the world of great harmony. The so-called Chinese are originally the refuge of the ultimate civilized. In my governance, young and weak can be raised and educated, and aging can be respected and safe. In my prime, they can be as talented as their talents in literature and martial arts. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have their own way out, and all walks of life can gain fame and wealth. Whether the superiors are kings or ministers, they are all appointed because of their virtuousness. If Li Congke

The others, what they do is to protect his own selfishness and seek his own wealth and honor, so he is fighting alone; your Khitan is better than him, but what they protect is the private of a clan, and they take all countries and races to support you, so you are fighting alone. Nowadays, the millions of soldiers and civilians in Anlong are not working for me, Zhang Mai alone, but for themselves, so we are all fighting! Because our regime protects the private of all people and the people of the world, the great master. This is where the great way is, the orthodox, and the reason why I can be invincible, but I am afraid you don’t understand this principle either.”

Yelu Ruan was stunned when he heard this, but said: "The Marshal said that he was so kind and righteous. Since the Marshal was to protect the selfishness of all people, why did he still capture the Uighurs and invade the Khitan? The people who died under the Marshal's horse's hooves were afraid that there were more people killed than the Khitans!"

Zhang Mai smiled softly and said, "What's the same! I destroyed the countries in the Western Regions to make the countries in the Western Regions more civilized. I took over the people in the Western Regions to give them a better life. I started a war not to kill people, but to save people. The principles of foreign wars and internal governance seem contradictory, but are actually unified." He looked at Yelu Ruan and smiled and said, "In the future, I will be the same for Mobei and Khitan."

Yelu Ruan's chest suddenly felt like it was blocked by a big rock, and he was almost about to have an attack. Finally, he was still a little more caring. He smiled and said, "Then will the marshal be prepared for the Central Plains in the future?"

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "That's different. Zhong was originally the source of China, and it was just a letter to restore the place. It saves much more than the Western Regions Kung Fu in the northern part of the Moyuan region."

Yelu Ruan laughed and said, "If the marshal's righteous brother Li Congke heard these words, I wonder what he would think."

Zhang Mai said lightly: "I used to recognize him as his righteous brother for the welfare of Central Plains and Anlong, as for now..."

"how?"

Zhang Mai said: "Now he feels good, I won't take it seriously."

Yelu Ruan was a little stunned when he heard this. Looking at Zhang Mai, he didn't understand what he meant to say to him.

Zhang Mai waved his hand and said, "General Yelu, you come today, and you won't just ask me about the orthodox Chinese orthodox. Yelu Shuogu sent you here, you can say what it is for."

Yelu Ruan hesitated and said, "If the weather is very cold today, our army's shaman is good at looking at the sky and saying that it will take half a month to wait for ten days to fall. At that time, everything will be gone, and this place may become a white hell. Therefore, our marshal sent me to come and hope to cease the battle with the Tang army."

Murong Chunhua, Ma Jirong and others looked at each other and were about to speak, but Zhang Mai said, "Has he asked for peace?"

Yelu Ruan said: "It is not about seeking peace, but about peace. At the same time, I hope the marshal can return the lost tribes in Beiting."

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "If the tribes in Mobei take the initiative to come and vote, they will be the new people of the Tang Dynasty. I will not push them to the barbarians no matter what. As for those prisoners of war, according to our army's convention, these people are all war slaves. Whether Yelu Shuogu or Yelu Deguang, if you want them to go back, you might as well buy them with money. These people are tall, short, strong and weak, and there are prices in the market to ensure that the transaction is fair and the old are not deceived. Just buy a Sima. "He said this and leaned forward and said to Yelu Ruan: "But if General Yelu spoke, I can ask the people below to give you a discount."

Yelu Ruan said: "Then the matter of peace..."

Zhang Mai said: "What do General Yelu hope for?"

"I hope?"

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so General Yelu doesn't have to worry about what he said will reveal." He lowered his voice and said, "I don't want to pay attention to Yelu Shuogu, but I have a close relationship with your father. Since General Yelu didn't dislike me and called me uncle, I would like to recognize you as your nephew. We don't have to be so polite between our uncle and nephew. This war is about to be harmonious. If you want to be harmonious, you will be harmonious, and if you want to be harmonious, you will be harmonious, and you will be harmonious, as you say, what you say."
