Chapter 52: The second one of the fear of Tang Weide

After Shi Hui and Chi Ding sent the envoy to pay the bill, Zhang Maicai said again: "Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"

After the Tang army's plan to fall into Wule, they became more alert. Guo Luo said: "It's unusual, and it's probably weird. The attitude of Kitanuma Wuhu and Nanzhao Wuhu towards us is normal. Murai brings a few passionate young people to run, which is still common sense, but this group of Tuqishi came a bit strange."

Guo Shiyong said: "No matter what they are here to do, let's leave quickly. Just think that it's just a loss of five taels of gold and ten pieces of silk."

Yang Yi was not willing to do so, with a sneer in his eyes, but Guo Shiyong was an elder after all, so he couldn't speak out for his timidity, but he had a sneer in his eyes: "How can that be? Before the matter was clear, he ran away in a hurry without any explanation. If those thunders really came to lose sincerity to us, their patriarch came to bow again and found that we had been scared away by ourselves. In the future, we would be laughed at by the Tang Dynasty."

Guo Shiyong said seriously: "What's the point of being laughed at? The important thing is not to be caught here!"

Guo Luo said: "It's not a big deal to be laughed at by someone. But if the Hu people believe that we are timid and end up being a brave man, we will not be able to use our power when we meet them again. Besides, the newly encamped soldiers will also develop a second thought. If we look at them longer, it will be detrimental to us in the future."

Guo Shiyong frowned and sighed: "You young people are just too ambitious. Now we are still struggling to survive. You are thinking about managing the Western Regions. I tell you that there must be something strange about this. You will leave early and you will probably not be too late if you leave late."

After the discussion was not decided, Xi Sheng sent someone to report that another group of people and horses came twenty or thirty miles south of the south. As expected, the group of people and horses stopped, but also sent an envoy to express their sincerity. Zhang Mai felt uneasy and ran out of the tent quickly. He climbed up and looked up. The Zhaoshan Palace was the highest hillside in a radius of dozens of miles. Zhang Mai took out his telescope and looked around. He saw that except for the southeast, the camp had already been set up in the south, there seemed to be people coming from other directions.

Zhang Mai handed the telescope to Guo Luo, and Guo Luo looked it out and remained silent.

"Encourt, that messenger has arrived."

Guo Luo asked, "Brother Mai, what should I do?"

Zhang Mai said: "Cross!" He still ordered the messenger to go up the mountain, but this time he came Huangtou Wuhu in the middle of the Yili River. He also heard that the Tang army defeated the Uighurs, so he came to rely on it.

Zhang Mai took the five sheepskins presented by the envoy, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with laughter. He kept shouting in his half-baked Turkic words: "Okay! OK! Got behind the Tang Dynasty, good! Be determined!"

Guo Luo smiled slightly and translated: "Enter Zhang said, it is very rare for you to understand the great power and come to surrender. Let's report back to the court and we will definitely grant your patriarch a great official."

Then he gave him five kilograms of silver and ten pieces of silk, and the messenger went away happily.

After the messenger went out, Zhang Mai frowned and said, "Today is the day of financial loss. Don't come again in these tribes."

Who knew what he was afraid of? Before he finished speaking, someone came to report that another tribe came thirty miles southwest of Zhaoshan Palace, but it was the Geluo Dalin Kur tribe, which was also eight or nine hundred people. He also sent an envoy to ask for it. This time, Geluo's words were still the same, but they offered two wolf skins. The envoy's words were very flattering. Zhang Mai was happy to hear it, looking around the generals and said happily: "This time I went out alone, and I never expected to be able to connect with the border troops and defeat the Uighurs! Now that the tribes gathered and joined our Tang Dynasty again, this is comparable to Ban Chao and Su Dingfang's great contribution! When I return to Chang'an in the future, the title of marquis is already in my pocket, and even if I become a prime minister, there is great hope!"

The envoy asked him what the envoy Zhang, who was accompanying him, said, but Shi Hui couldn't understand it. He had to rely on Yang Yi to translate it for him to understand. He quickly congratulated him: "We and the patriarchs will jointly write to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to tell us about the various contributions of the envoy in the Western Regions, and help the envoy to be appointed as the general and the prime minister."

After hearing Guo Luo's translation, Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Thank you! If all the tribes can help me achieve this great cause, the border trades and rewards will inevitably be given to you. "This time, he not only gave back three taels of gold and two kilograms of silver, but also brought a gold-inlaid belt to reward the messenger himself.

The envoy thanked him repeatedly. After retreating, Yang Yi bowed his hands and congratulated him repeatedly: "Envoy, you are amazing. After you have just built a Zhaoshan Palace, you will be covered by Hubin and the four barbarians will come to pay their respects."

Zhang Mai spat: "It's just a few small tribes. What are the four barbarians coming to pay tribute? Do you mock me?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "You are the best envoy, you are not fooled by them. I see that you were just being picked up by the messenger of Geluo. Their smug look really makes people worry. We don't know what these tribes are doing, but looking at their origin, this stop will block our origin alive!"

All the generals were filled with fear, and Zhang Mai was also in a state of disgrace. Yang Dingbang said: "Encourt, our troops are ready and can rush out at any time."

Guo Luo said: "The situation is still unclear. Besides, even if you want to retreat, it is better to wait for the dusk to leave."

Zhang Mai suddenly remembered something and urgently ordered Wen Yanhai to: "Let Renxiao send two fire-like men to quietly go to the northwest swamp to see if there were anyone outside the secret path between the swamps when we came."

Tang Renxiao was also a person with a far-reaching knowledge in the team. After receiving the order, he thought to himself: "This is related to the life and death of our army!" He did not dare to neglect, and thought to himself: "If you swagger to explore, it will attract attention." But he sent all his troops to the foot of the mountain to herd horses, and two of them walked to the swamp intentionally or unintentionally, and then entered the swamp to inquire.

During his inquiry, five tribes sent envoys to the mountain one after another. Zhang Mai greeted him with a smile. Whenever he saw a group of envoys, his face became more joyful. The rewards became more abundant as the rewards became softer. These tribes may have three or five hundred, seven or eight hundred, or one thousand people, and there were eight tribes, totaling more than 5,000 people, which happened to surround Zhaoshan Palace from the edge of the swamp in the northwest to the sand-stained land in the east.

Zhang Mai went out of the tent a few times, and later he simply handed the telescope to Ding Hanshan and told him: "You are approaching by horse, climb up and look at their weapons, equipment and organization." Zhang Mai himself transferred Chi Ding, Shi Hui and others to ask about the situation of Huangtou Wuhu, Tuqi Shi Hai and others.

Ding Hanshan took a few soldiers and hurriedly went there. About half an hour later, he came back to report and said: "There are quite a few people in these tribes, but there are many bone spears and steel knives in their weapons. Look at them, but they have all been cut and layered in the fences on our side. When I climbed up to the heights and looked at them, they were still firing fences." These situations are also consistent with what Chi Ding, Shi Hui and others explained.

The generals saw that although the number of these tribes was larger than that of the Tang army, their weapons and equipment were only similar to the Blackheaded Wuhu, so they were not very worried.

Yang Yi said: "It's just a surround, so don't be afraid! We can rush out with the troops."

Guo Shiyong calculated for a while and said, "Although the enemy has 5,000 people, our army has 700 people, which is enough to use one to fight five and concentrate its forces to attack one direction, it should be successful." He said this clearly because he had not counted the newly established Wolf Fang Camp.

At this time, good news came from the swamp: there were no ambush outside the swamp.

Zhang Mai breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the Hu people have not discovered this secret path yet."

"Can't hesitate anymore!" Guo Shiyong urged: "Enterprise, these tribes just blocked our way out. How can such a coincidence happen in the world? Let's go quickly."

Yang Yi said, "Just leave like this? Thank you! We have rewarded them just now! In my opinion, we should rush for a while before leaving."

"Not appropriate." Guo Luo said: "Although these tribes surrounded the outer periphery of Zhaoshan Palace, they all sent envoys to deliver speeches, and there was no rudeness. The so-called bad intentions were just our speculations and they did not confirm that we suddenly attacked them, which was not right. In the future, they would promote our Tang army to betrayal, which was quite unfavorable to us. Besides, if they really wanted to surround us, they would have to be strictly guarded. If they rushed forward, they would be afraid that they would not be able to go."

"What should you do if you say?" Yang Yi asked.

Guo Luo said: "It is definitely not a coincidence that these tribes came together one day, but they surrounded us and did not attack us. They also sent envoys to say such words, which were mostly used to delay the army. In my opinion, either because they could not see clearly our reality or because the main master had not arrived yet!"

When he mentioned the three words "六子", the generals in the tent were all shocked. Yang Dingbang said, "六子, 六子, yes, it's probably because the real master has not arrived, so they held back and didn't take action. But when the real master arrives, they will launch a thunder attack!"

Although the Tang army has been surrounded, they still do not think that the five thousand tribes can trap themselves. However, if the regular army of the Uighurs is driven to preside over it, the situation will be completely different.

Yang Yi said: "But how do we know when the main owner will arrive? I don't think we can wait any longer. While their position is not stable, we will kill him and piss it off!"

Guo Shiyong shook his head constantly: "I just borrowed the special envoy's Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile. I saw that Zhuhu had knocked down the fence when facing us. Although they had not had time to encircle all intersections with fences, the camp had already stood up. Even if we rushed over now, it would be difficult for us to achieve unexpected results. Special envoys, can't hesitate anymore, leave quickly!"

Zhang Mai thought for a while and said, "You have to leave, but you can't just leave so unclearly. Let's see this. Let's first expose the other party's disguise and turn passive into active."

"The envoy means..."

"Invite their patriarchs to the mountain!" Zhang Mai said, "Didn't they say they are afraid of the power of our Tang Dynasty and want to join our Tang Dynasty? Well, let's give them a plan and invite their patriarchs to the mountain to pay their respects. If their patriarchs are willing to go up the mountain to attend the meeting, then their intention to submit is true. If they dare not attend the meeting, then they are hiding evil intentions. After this disguise is exposed, no matter what we do, we should withdraw overnight, leave a book to reveal their conspiracy, or teach them a lesson before leaving, and the truth is on our side."

Guo Luo nodded in agreement and said, "In this way, we seem to be polite and calm. The most important thing is to let the new recruits know that we are not afraid to retreat, and even if we retreat, it will not hurt morale."

At this moment, the outside world came to report that Kitanuma Hei-tou Ugo had also come, and the clan leader Hesheli had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and was about to come to the mountain to pay homage to Special Envoy Zhang.

Zhang Mai and Guo Luo were really stunned when they heard the news. Yang Yi smiled and said, "Brother Mai, the situation seems to be a little complicated now. You said you want to invite those patriarchs to try whether they are sincere or false. But before the invitation was sent, a patriarch ran up by himself. Do you think this Heshe is true or false? Haha, if you send an invitation, and all the patriarchs really come to you, what should you do then?"

Zhang Mai laughed and said, "If they really come by the invitation, it would be better. Let's join forces with them to form an alliance and lead them to Balashaguon! Restore the Western Regions in one fell swoop and revitalize the Tang Dynasty!"
