Turbulent Times Chapter 46: Who dares to drink the toast of the poisonous general

When the oncoming cavalry team was within a stone's throw of Changsun Sheng and Princess Xinyi's chariot, it was like a flood hitting an invisible rock, and suddenly split to both sides, and three tall horses suddenly appeared at the end of the front. Immediately there were three people sitting upright. In front was an old monk whose dress was obviously different from that of Buddhist monks, and behind them were two ten thousand elders.

Changsun Sheng took the lead in the car, followed by the guards with high flags and flags, and the western Turkic cavalrymen who came to the left and right suddenly drew their knives out of their sheaths at the same time, raised their arms to the sky and shouted three times: "Oh...", his voice Like a wolf howling at the moon.

Innumerable bright steel knives were held in the air, and countless rays of light shone against the sun, as if the sun shone on the reflection of the sea.

Changsun Cheng narrowed his eyes, and for a moment he felt the chill hit him, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, but his sitting posture remained motionless, still upright, his face solemn, and no change could be seen. The western Turkic cavalry suddenly drew their swords and roared in salute, apparently with the intention of scaring the Sui envoy by surprise, so as to embarrass the Sui envoy and make him stand out. But it is clear that Changsun Sheng disappointed the Western Turks.

The Sui Army cavalry behind Changsun Sheng still rode their horses at a light gallop. Their pace was never a step faster or slower because of the movements of the Western Turkic cavalry. The formation was always the same. The whole, and this whole is moving forward synchronously. The rhythm of movement in stillness and stillness in movement reflects the superb riding skills and psychological quality of this Sui cavalry.

Of course, the might of the Western Turkic cavalry cannot frighten these Great Sui cavalry. Last year, these cavalry just participated in the battle with the Western Turkic in Jincheng County, and participated in the last hundreds of miles of pursuit of the Western Turkic army. , I don’t know how many Turkic cavalry were killed, and how could they be frightened by them.

The carriages of Changsun Sheng and Princess Xinyi came one after the other, and they galloped in front of the three people, including King Bo Duo, who were standing on horseback. Princess Xinyi's door curtains were closed tightly, and no movement could be seen inside, while Changsun Sheng was wearing a court uniform and a crown, and sat in the car without moving. At some point, he was already holding a two-foot-long brocade box made of bright yellow dragon satin, which contained the peace letter agreed between the Sui Dynasty and the Western Turks.

King Bo Duo brought two ten thousand heads to welcome the Sui mission at the gate of his house, so why did he need to bring so many cavalry? Obviously, they wanted to intimidate the Sui people in terms of momentum when the two sides met. In this way, they could gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations and prevent the Sui people from causing trouble.

But let's not say that Changsun Sheng has been sent to East Turkic many times, and a scholar like him attaches great importance to integrity and etiquette, even if he dies, he will not lose the prestige of the kingdom.

The letter of credence can be taken out after entering the Western Turkic royal court. Now that it is taken out, it naturally means that "I am here on behalf of my Tai Sui. If you dare to insult me, it is to humiliate my Tai Sui. You see Let's do it!"

Right now, Tong Yehu Khan and Bo Duo Dharma King did not want or dare to compete with Da Sui, so Bo Duo Dharma King smiled slightly, his eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at Wang Junlin, the deputy envoy dressed in Zhou Hu behind Changsun Sheng, Said to Changsun Sheng: "This seat is the Turkic national teacher, and the name is Boduo. The two Sui envoys and the princess have come to work hard, and please come to my royal court. Khan has prepared fine wine and roasted sheep for the two Sui envoys and the princess." Your Royal Highness welcomes the wind and washes away the dust!"

Zhou Hu looked at Dharma King Boduo coldly, and snorted coldly, while Changsun Sheng showed a happy smile, bowed his hands to Dharma King Boduo, and said, "National teacher is polite, please come first!"

…

In the big tent of the royal court, which covers an area of ​​one mu, there are three rows of long desks on the left and right sides of the entrance, and the desks are full of delicious wine, delicacies, and wild game. Although the dishes are not as detailed as the Central Plains, and the taste is not as good as that of Huaxia cuisine, but it is also better than the variety and the rough style of the table. If you seldom eat it, it has a special flavor, especially the whole roasted cow in the middle. There is a large pot of hand-steaked mutton on each table, and the large wine bowl can also arouse people's appetite.

When entering the big tent, the person sitting on the main seat facing the main seat is of course Tongyehu Khan, the first one on the left is Changsun Sheng, and the person facing Changsun Sheng is Podo Dharma King. Next to Changsun Sheng is Wang Junlin's substitute dressed up by Zhou Hu. This guy is very courageous, even a bit bold. He is extremely ruthless, and can be said to be more like a poisonous general than Wang Junlin.

Since entering the big tent, including Khan Tongyehu and Boduo Fawang, all the Turkic high-ranking officials in the tent have focused most of their attention on Zhou Hu, a fake poisonous general. It's no wonder that in the war last year, the three battles that determined the victory of the entire battle were all led by Wang Junlin, and the methods Wang Junlin used were indeed ruthless and poisonous.

However, to the surprise of Changsun Wuji who was sitting next to Zhou Hu, the Turkic people looked at Zhou Hu with more respect than hatred. It can be seen that the Turkic nation respects the strong, especially the strong who masters the art of defeating ten thousand enemies. Of course, this kind of respect will definitely not affect their intention to kill Wang Junlin. I believe that as long as there is a chance, and Wang Junlin is not the deputy envoy of the Sui Dynasty like today, the Turkic people are willing to kill Wang Junlin even if they lose tens of thousands of cavalry.

Chang Sun Sheng raised his glass and said with a smile: "When I was in Daxing City, I have admired Khan's reputation for bravery for a long time. I don't want to have the opportunity to conspire with Khan to get drunk today. Hehe, I will borrow it now." Khan's wine, toast Khan, please, please Khan drink this cup to the full!"

Compared to the original Chuluo Khan, Tongyehu Khan is a pure warrior, which is the main reason why King Boduo is willing to support him. Therefore, Tong Yehu Khan focused almost all his attention on Zhou Hu, a fake poison general. Even if Chang Sun Sheng was toasting, he held up the wine bowl, looked at Chang Sun Sheng politely, raised his neck, and drank the wine in one gulp. But the attention was still on Zhou Hu.

Looking at it, Changsun Sheng felt more and more in his heart that listening to Wang Junlin in Gaotai City, it was a wise move to make a substitute.

At this moment, Zhou Hu stood up suddenly, and the big tent fell silent, everyone looked at the famous "Poison General".

I saw Zhou Hu gave a long laugh, picked up a can of wine next to him, and said loudly: "When the young general came here, he saw flocks of sheep and sheep, thousands of horses galloping, and the wealth of Western Turks can be seen from this. Just now Outside the royal court, I saw the invincible glory of the Western Turkic warriors. With such a strong army, and the help of a national teacher like King Boduofa, plus countless cattle and sheep as the backing, I believe that Khan will soon be able to dominate Western Regions!"

As he spoke, Zhou Hu left his seat, and said boldly: "For this reason, the young general wants to pour a bowl of wine for Khan and the national teacher as a respect."

As he spoke, he had already walked towards Tong Yehu Khan with the wine jar.

In the big tent, apart from King Boduo, whose expression remained unchanged and who was just observing Zhou Hu curiously, while Tong Yehu's expression froze and his eyes flickered, the expressions of the rest of the Turkic people suddenly changed, and dozens of guards It has already rushed towards Zhou Hu.

The so-called, the name of a person, the shadow of the number, it can be seen how frightening Wang Junlin's vicious and poisonous name is in Western Turks.

"Back down!" Tong Yehu Khan stared at Zhou Hu's every move, especially Zhou Hu's hand holding the wine jar, and then waved his hand, and the guards retreated again.

But Zhou Hu, among other things, is so courageous that he can continue to walk towards Tong Yehu Khan without changing his expression and speed, and uses the wine jar in his hand to give Tong Yehu Khan a few words. The bowl on the table was filled with wine.

Including the Sui envoy officials who didn't know Zhou Hu's details, everyone in the tent stared intently at the bowl of wine.

Tong Yehu Khan stared at Zhou Hu fiercely with his gaze like a knife, then secretly gritted his teeth and picked up the wine bowl.

"Khan, don't do it!" More than a dozen high-ranking Western Turks in the big tent shouted at the same time.

As soon as everyone dissuaded him, Tong Yehu vented his courage just now, and put the wine bowl he had picked up on the table again.

"Could it be that Khan looks down on the young general and refuses to drink the wine poured by the young general himself." Zhou Hu was aggressive.

"Wang Junlin, you are not afraid that I will kill you." Tong Yehu became a little annoyed, and murderous intentions arose in his heart.

Zhou Hu's heart skipped a beat, he wondered if his mother had played too much, annoyed this dog Ri Khan, really killed me, and the game was over.

Thinking like this, Zhou Hu stiffened his neck and wanted to say something, Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up and said: "General Wang is just a captain of Guoyi in the Sui Dynasty, and he is indeed not qualified to pour wine for Khan. So this bowl of wine was drunk by the lower officials."

As he was talking, Changsun Wuji had already walked over, picked up the bowl of wine and did not dislike Tong Yehu Khan for drinking it, and he was about to drink it as soon as he raised his head. Tong Yehu Khan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he glanced at all the subordinates in the tent viciously, thinking that no one in his mother's place took the initiative to stand up and try the wine for me.

Just at this moment, King Bo Duo gave a wink to a commander next to him, who suddenly stood up and said, "I heard that the poisonous general Wang Junlin has only 5,000 troops under his command. We Khan toasted, and I, Maladuz, led my Turkic 10,000 sons, so I reluctantly drank a bowl of wine poured by Captain Guoyi of the Sui Dynasty.”

As he spoke, the Western Turkic Chief who claimed to be Maladuz came over and took the wine bowl from Zhangsun Wuji.

Just when he was about to drink the wine in one gulp, Zhou Hu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Maraduz said: "What else is there for General Wang?"

Zhou Hu said: "The bowl is not full yet, I will add some wine to Mr. Maladuzwan."

As he spoke, Zhou Hu picked up the wine jar and dropped a drop of wine into the wine bowl in Maladuz's hand.

Maraduzzi's expression changed immediately, and he hesitated.

"Why, Mrs. Maladuzwan also thinks that I am not qualified to let you drink this bowl of wine." Zhou Hu said.
