Chapter 160 The messenger
On the afternoon of the third day after the beacon was on fire, Chen Guang escorted Li Shouzhong to the Yiwu Army camp, which was the most abundant water and grass land in Ganluchuan. This place is more of a semi-permanent military fortress than a camp.
In the commander's tent, Li Shouzhong, who was exhausted and did not care about rest, summoned the generals in the army, and Chen Guang was also among them. The Yiwu army had 3,000 soldiers, but there were only 300 armored cavalry that could charge in armor, and Chen Guang's 120 soldiers were all able to attack the enemy's formation in heavy armor.
If he was under Li Shouzhong's command, Chen Guang would be the official position of a commander. Looking at the generals of the Yiwu Army who gathered in command, Chen Guang looked around and saw that many of them were blue-eyed Turks, but those who were wearing armor and spoke in Guanzhong's voice were much more authentic than him, and they could not see any of the Turkish habits at all.
"Governor, the chief of the thief army chief is named Ashinazhen. He sent an envoy two days ago to ask for the meeting of the thief. The last general refused because the thief army was not there, and the thief chief sent someone over here just now."
The deputy general of Yiwu Army was a Han powerful man from Guazhou. When he reported, he couldn't help but look at Chen Guang a few more times. He didn't expect that his governor would go out and bring back the famous Shen Langjun in the Anxi Army.
"Asinazhen."
When Li Shouzhong heard this name, he was a little lost. This was his old acquaintance in Chang'an City. He was the son of Usumi Shi Khan. He was about the same age as him and was also a Turkic man who was not like the Turks. He once thought that Ashina would stay in Chang'an City forever.
Looking at the expression on Li Shouzhong's face, Chen Guang knew that the chief of the remnant Turkic tribe was probably the old acquaintance of the governor, but he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Shouzhong took the initiative to explain that although more than half of the Yiwu army were Turkic people, they were deeply sinicized over such a long time. In addition, there were other Han generals, Li Shouzhong would not make others suspicious of his real relationship with Ashina.
"This Ashina is really the son of Usumishi Khan. When Vijay Khan was obedient to the Tang Dynasty, he lived in Chang'an City as a proton. He went to Chang'an to study ten years ago. At that time, he had some friendship with him. But he didn't expect that he actually escaped from Chang'an City and became the leader of these Turkic remnants."
Chen Guang only realized after hearing this. Speaking of the destruction of the eastern Turks, the Later Turks, who were promoted to Via Khan, obeyed the Tang Dynasty and served him with his father. During that period, many Turkic nobles, Nantou Datang, served the Tang Dynasty. After Via Khan's death, the Later Turkic civil war was in conflict, and a large number of Turkic tribes were attached to each other, such as Yizhou.
"Let the messenger come over, and I want to see what this secret agent wants to do?"
The so-called special service was originally the name of a high-ranking official in the Turks. Because they were all given the descendants of the Khan, they later became the title of prince. Soon, the Turkic envoy was brought into the tent by the soldiers. Looking at Li Shouzhong in the throne, the Turkic envoy respectfully said in accordance with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, "I will pay homage to Governor Li."
"Asina sent you here, what do you want to say?"
Li Shouzhong asked directly. The envoy looked at the generals all over the tent and hesitated, but at this time Li Shouzhong sneered, "If you don't want to say it, please come back and tell Ashinazhen that you have offended the Tang Dynasty. If you don't want to die, you will quickly lead the people back to the grassland. Otherwise, don't blame the general for storing troops to attack him. At that time, under the iron cavalry of the army, you will be all over the place."
The envoy couldn't help but sweat on his forehead when he heard this, because he found that the Yiwu generals were staring at him fiercely. At this time, he didn't care about so many concerns. He hurriedly said, "Governor calm down, my special agent just wants to pay a visit to the Governor in person to reminisce about his old friendship."
After saying this, the messenger felt that the Governor Li's gaze in front of him became colder, and his neck became colder.
"Governor, it's better to send troops..."
Under Li Shouzhong's command, a confidant general whispered loudly, "Ashi is clearly framed by the governor. If he really meets him, if a villain slanders the governor, then wouldn't it be that yellow mud fell into his crotch? It's either shit or shit."
Seeing his generals shouting and killing, Li Shouzhong was not moved and should not raise troops because of anger. This is a truth he learned a long time ago. Now he thought that Ah Shin really wanted to meet him. If it was a counter-espionage plan, it would be too clumsy. However, the killing talents of his subordinates fought against all the heroes. If they asked them for advice, they would be playing the piano against the cow.
Logically, a general governor like Li Shouzhong was naturally the shogunate. However, even some talents in Yizhou had been plundered by the Protectorate Office long ago. As for the selection of officials in the court, those who could be sent to him, the Yiwu army were all crooked, and at most they would just write documents.
So naturally, Li Shouzhong looked at Shen Guang, because Shen Lang was probably the only one who looked like a counselor at the moment, and at least he could get some useful opinions from him.
"Judge Shen, what do you think? Should I meet this special agent?"
As Li Shouzhong spoke, the generals in the tent also looked at Shen Guang. They knew Shen Guang's name was because of Anxi Shaochun. But they didn't expect that their governor seemed to value Shen Langjun quite.
Shen Guang, who was originally talking less and watching more, was asked by Li Shouzhong at this time, and he could only answer loudly, "I think the governor might as well meet this special agent and talk again, and decide whether to fight or to have a good relationship?"
Shen Guang was not afraid to welcome the war, but he never liked to fight meaningless wars. This group of Turkic remnants looked like they were fleeing, so why not explore their details first.
"Where are you?"
After hearing Shen Guang's answer, Li Shouzhong looked at his group of generals, especially Deputy General Zhang, who was born as a powerful Han Chinese in Guazhou.
"Judge Shen is right, it's okay to see the governor."
Deputy General Zhang was the first to agree, and then the other generals who were determined to fight all responded. No one was a fool. It was impossible to see that his governor probably wanted to meet the little Turkic prince.
"Since that's the case, then go back and tell your secret service, and say that someone agreed."
"Thank you, Governor, I'll go back and report to my special service."
After the envoy left, Li Shouzhong looked at the general in the tent and said, "Everyone is back and ready to go to war at any time."
Ci is not in charge of the troops, and he is never tired of deceitful soldiers. As long as he has the chance, Li Shouzhong doesn't mind capturing Ashinazhen directly, and then raiding the camps of the remnants and directly taking down these Turks.
"Here."
Hearing this order, the generals were ready to take the order away. The governor was indeed the governor and would never drag on the mud when it was time to make a decision.
Soon, Shen Guang was the only one left in the huge tent of the handsome man. Li Shouzhong looked at him and said, "Shen Lang, do you say that you can directly capture Ashi Nazhen, can you force the 30,000 people to surrender?"
But before Chen Guang could answer, he shook his head and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Chen Lang will go with someone later."
