I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

But now, it's not much better.

After all, even if Zhang Liang and Li Ji are separated, the chief of the Liaodong Road Army is still a great position.

Moreover, Zhang Liang's achievements in opening up territories are so muddled!

Why hasn't he had this kind of luck all these years? My mother, I have to fight head-to-head with people with real knives and guns in war. You can follow behind to pick up cheap, and in the end your achievements are not less than Lao Tzu's?

This is so unreasonable!

But everything has been fixed long ago, and there is no way to change it.Therefore, Cheng Yaojin, who became angry from embarrassment, had to beat Zhang Liang to death at the poker table every day to vent his anger.

That's right, the few generals in command who are so idle now have nothing to do every day, so they can only go to the poker table.

training?

The ones that don’t exist are all veterans, all kinds of skills have long been familiarized, and maybe they were a little rusty because they haven’t been on the battlefield for several years. After a few battles, they have already returned to the time when they were on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, if this group of people hadn't been suppressed by Zhang Nuo, they would have rushed to the hinterland of Korea by themselves.

No way, the charm of money is so great.

In fact, Zhang Nuo didn't do anything else. Anyway, there were so many shareholders in the backstage, crying for money, and everyone agreed that the sergeant should share a small amount of money so that everyone could work harder.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo directly asked the shareholders to pay the money that was going to be distributed to the sergeants at this stage.

That's right, these soldiers haven't returned home yet, and the money they should have received has already been obtained.

Even, for the sake of everyone's morale, Zhang Nuo asked the shareholders in the rear and some military family members to send a message directly.

Looking at the simple family letters, talking about the changes in the family after receiving the money, well, there is no need to think about it at all, with the current morale, it is estimated that Zhang Nuo shouted to attack the city, and they would be able to scream with red eyes rushed up.

It's pitiful to say, these people have never seen so much money at home after all these years, and now I have only come out to fight a few smooth sailings, and the family has so much income, so I'm afraid of farts.

The Koreans may have been enemies and rivals in the eyes of these people before, but now every Korean has become a fat sheep that can be sold for money in their eyes.

This also created a spectacle on the Korean battlefield. The thousand-man team who killed the most enemies would be scolded, and the hero who arrested the most people would be the hero.

After all, in everyone's eyes, the more you kill, the less money I have!

Therefore, among all the teams of thousands of people, there is currently a rule of death firmly in mind. Under the premise of ensuring safety, those who can not kill themselves must not do so.

For this reason, in the entire barracks, those who used to practice knives and spears are now practicing the capture that Zhang Nuo taught casually!

This is also something that Zhang Nuo came up with casually. Perhaps many rangers or Jianghu sects in the Tang Dynasty have such special methods for capturing, but they absolutely did not exist in the previous army.

In the army, the only way to kill people has always been to kill people quickly. The most important thing is how to kill people quickly. Even if they want to be captured alive, it is usually just a sap or chopping their hands.

But now the purpose is different, grasping must be learned, and this is to make money if you learn it well!

So, the current situation in Zhang Nuo's camp is that the coach plays cards every day, and the sergeants consciously practice hard, but it frightens the Korean guests who came to the door for the first time.

Chapter 492 The Miraculous Goryeo Messenger

Zhang Nuo was a little baffled when he saw the greeting card sent by Xingben!

After looking at Xingben several times, Xingben's heart was on edge, so Zhang Nuo asked,

"Xingben, you're sure you're not joking with us. Goryeo has been beaten like this by us now. What kind of Goryeo envoy wants to negotiate peace with us?"

Xingben also had a dumbfounding expression, looking at Zhang Nuo and the two generals sitting at the card table, he said directly,

"Yes, I have confirmed it three times. It is indeed a Korean envoy. There is also a seal. It seems to be some kind of nobleman with a strange name!"

Zhang Nuo blinked and blinked, a little confused, looked at Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang beside him and said,

"You two, do you think this Goryeo's brain was eaten by a dog? We are all beaten up like this. If there is no delay for a while, the country will be destroyed by him. Why did he come here to talk?"

"Do they think that the conditions he gave are more than ours for destroying the country?"

Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang also looked confused. As the generals of the army, they have seen the opponent's generals surrender in battle. After all, they are afraid of death.

But they are different here, they are fighting a war of extermination, a war of endless death, does Goryeo still think that they just come to hang out, beat up and avenge themselves or something?

Left and right couldn't figure it out, and Zhang Nuo didn't bother to think about it anymore. It happened that he was not lucky at the moment, so why not see what happened to Gao Li.

So Zhang Nuo directly asked Xingben to go outside and lead the person to the middle hall, and the big guys will chat there later.

The Koryo envoy who came to Zhang Nuo this time was naturally Yuan Gai Suwen. In fact, this guy has a fart envoy's seal, which is purely forged, and even the person sneaked out of Wangcheng.

In his view, Datang was only gaining an advantage for a while. As long as he clarified his interests, let the people of Datang understand the disadvantages of fighting on two fronts, and at the same time showed Goryeo's determination not to hesitate to die, then Datang would definitely retreat.

It doesn't matter even if Goryeo still has to proclaim himself a minister and pay tribute.

From Yuan Gai Suwen's point of view, as long as the immediate crisis can be resolved, he will turn around and contact Turkic, let Turkic attack from the other side, and then he will launch a counterattack from Goryeo's side.

At that time, all that Tang ate on Gao Li this time will have to be vomited out!

Moreover, Yuan Gai Suwen has another idea for coming this time, that is to take a good look at what secrets this Tang Dynasty has, and why it can be like entering a land of no one in Korea.

But judging from what he observed before, something is wrong!

The soldiers here are brave, they are indeed veterans who have experienced many battles, this can be seen by Yuan Gai Suwen at a glance.

However, is it enough for the soldiers to be brave?

During the Sui Dynasty, veterans were not less used, and the number was much larger than now, and it has never been so fierce as this time.

What exactly happened here?

Moreover, it has always been circulated that the big iron lump that can blow through the city wall with a few bangs in the Tang Dynasty, why haven't I seen it all the time, it should be easy to see such a big thing.

In fact, Yuan Gai Suwen can see everything else, but this cannon, hehe, I'm sorry, with Zhang Nuo around, he absolutely has no hope of seeing it.

In fact, one of the reasons why Zhang Nuo put away the artillery on weekdays was for convenience. After all, if the sergeant transported this large number of artillery by himself, he would probably cry for his father and mother.

After all, who knows if the weight is real or not. When attacking a city on weekdays, even a slight movement requires more than a dozen people to push it together.

This is just a slight movement. If it is transported long distance, it will be fatal.

At least Li Ji, who is on his way to Pyongyang now, is complaining a lot. If he didn't know the power of this thing, and he knew the record of the artillery from the military report from His Majesty, he wouldn't want to take this thing even if he was killed. up.

It is too laborious to transport, especially the road on the Koryo side is bad, and the artillery is trapped at every turn.

It is for this reason that Zhang Nuo has always kept the cannon well hidden. When he wants to use it, he can put it in place with a wave of his hand, which is so convenient.

Another reason is that it is helpless, that is, the current artillery is still very, very primitive iron. If it is exposed to the outside for a long time, it is hard to say when it will rust.

You must know that if there is rust in the barrel, if one does not pay attention, it will easily explode when fired.

Therefore, instead of making everyone worry about maintenance, it is better for Zhang Nuo to put it in his own system warehouse. After all, the place has constant temperature and humidity and a constant time, and even vegetables and meat can be kept fresh, not to mention a cannon!

It was also because of this that it was impossible for Yuan Gai Suwen to see those artillery pieces!

With all kinds of regrets, Yuan Gai Suwen, led by Xingben, entered the former city lord's mansion and now the commander-in-chief's mansion, and saw the man he had been famous for a long time but had never had the chance to meet——His Royal Highness the new King Qin of the Tang Dynasty .

At this time, Zhang Nuo changed from his carefree look in the past, and was dressed in a standard King Qin robe, which made him look noble.

The two great generals, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang, who were standing on the side, were also wearing armor and weapons at this time, pretending to be door gods with serious faces.

This was not requested by Zhang Nuo, but by Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin.

From their point of view, receiving envoys naturally cannot lose the dignity and face of the Tang Dynasty, especially His Royal Highness King Qin, who is the number one king in the world, how could he lose his momentum.

If it weren't for the lack of time, they still wanted to draw a hundred people from the barracks to stand on both sides as guards.

However, it was too late to transfer people in the barracks, so they went on their own. The two generals put on their armor and stood up immediately.

Zhang Nuo also knew that at this time he was representing the image of Datang. Even if the two sides had to fight to the death on the battlefield tomorrow, the momentum and ostentation had to be preserved.

Therefore, after Yuan Gai Suwen greeted him, Zhang Nuo put on a handsome face and said,

"The envoy of Goryeo has led the army to attack Goryeo alone for a long time, and now he is planning to take a short rest and then drive straight in. Why are you looking for me at this time?"

Cheng Yaojin almost staggered and sat on the ground when he heard this, Oh my god, His Highness the King of Qin actually said such polite words?

Isn't this master always going straight like Jiangmen, and he still claims to be lonely?

It seems that this master started from becoming a king, not to mention being a widow, even the king has never said it a few times, this time it seems that he has completely entered the drama.

On the other hand, Zhang Liang, because he didn't know Zhang Nuo so well, thought it was normal. It didn't matter if he talked to his own people on weekdays. Now that he saw outsiders, the majestic King Qin naturally had a bit of style!

Chapter 493 Zhang Nuo's Rejection

Of course, Zhang Nuo didn't know what Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang were thinking, and he probably wouldn't say anything if he knew it. After all, he was tired of talking like that.

But there is no way, according to the rules, he is now the top nobleman in the Tang Dynasty, that's how the top nobles talk.

And this is still a diplomatic occasion, how can it show Datang's forceful style if you don't say that.

However, it doesn't matter what these three idiots think, Yuan Gai Suwen feels like swallowing a fly at the moment, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Nima, why does the King of Qin, the Great Tang, speak so directly and so arrogantly? Does this mean that he doesn't take Korea seriously, and is so easy to fight?

How do you feel that in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qin, Goryeo can destroy the country just by beating him?

This makes Yuan Gai Suwen, who has always been proud of Goryeo and wants to lead the rise of the Goryeo people, extremely disgusted.

But the current situation does not allow him to be presumptuous at all. It is okay for him to say something harsh at the moment, but after offending King Qin, there is no hope for Goryeo.

Therefore, for the sake of Korea, for my own dreams, and for the great cause, I should bear it!

Therefore, Yuan Gai Suwen, who was originally a strong and tough guy, forced a stiff and ugly smile on his face and said,

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, the Tang army is strong and the horse is strong, and the officials are naturally aware of it, and the officials have also seen it on the way just now!"

"However, has His Royal Highness the King of Qin thought about it, if the war here in Goryeo is intense, and the Turkic side comes to invade the side after hearing the news, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty want to fight on two fronts?"

"Your Majesty knows that the Great Tang's conquest of Goryeo may have come with all the power of the country. The king of the world, King Qin, is the coach. General Cheng and General Qin are the most trusted generals of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. With these veterans who have fought many battles, it’s no wonder that Goryeo is like no one’s land!”

"But His Highness is all-in like a gambler, so you really don't worry about the Turks at all?"

"Although I, Goryeo, are not as strong as Datang, but now we are in the midst of life and death. If we are really in a hurry, it is absolutely possible to hold His Highness for a while!"

"Your Highness, why don't you just accept it? I, Goryeo, am willing to cede land and pay compensation to become a minister, and pay tribute on time every year in the future!"

After Yuan Gai Suwen finished speaking, he smiled and looked at these people in front of him!

Haha, I'm shocked, I, Goryeo, also have my own spies, we already know the name of King Qin, we also know the names of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent so many confidantes here, it was nothing more than a bet that the king of Qin could destroy Goryeo in one go.

Then if they understand that Goryeo has the ability and determination to burn jade and rock together, and intends to drag Tang Jun to death, what will Datang plan to do?

What's more, I also gave up my steps, ceding land for compensation, paying tribute, this is the most humble request, so many conditions are here, enough for the King of Qin to go back and pay errands.

But Yuan Gai Suwen, who thought he could be compared with the counselors who fought against Confucianism during the Three Kingdoms period, did not notice that the three people opposite him looked at each other, and the eyes were particularly strange.

It can't be weird, is this Korean envoy out of his mind? Who said it came with the power of the entire Tang Dynasty?

What the hell did they bring this time? They were indeed veterans of hundreds of battles, but in fact none of the regular troops in the Tang Dynasty were moved.

Even the thousands of cavalry that Zhang Nuo has been staying with have all retired from the military guards a long time ago.

This is such a fart of overwhelming power, it can even be said that their group of people will not have any impact on Datang at all.

Even the money and food came from the pockets of Zhang Nuo, the king of Qin, and the private pockets of the various families, and did not touch a cent of the treasury at all.

The funniest thing is that because they came out this time to buy grain, and there were still so many prisoners in the future, the gang of shareholders and Li Shimin directly bought all the old grain in Changping warehouse and other large official storage warehouses.

But the government took the money and bought new grain again, not to mention, the reserves are even more than before.

This old food can be given to his own people, but Zhang Nuo feels that he is not short of money and food, so there is no need for it. Just give it to the captives. They have to eat anyway, so don’t starve them to death. , when the time comes, it will be our own people who will lose.

In other words, Zhang Nuo led the expedition this time. For Datang, it was really just a private act, and there was absolutely no loss in national or military strength.

So, when they heard the Goryeo envoy keep saying that he was not willing to pay more for the good of Datang, they really didn't know how to proceed with his words.

Even Zhang Nuo and Cheng Yaojin, the two with the biggest mouths, were embarrassed to speak directly.

Do they have to say directly, it’s okay, Lao Li will deal with it when the Turks come, and our group beat you Korea easily, without delaying domestic affairs?

So isn't it a bit too disrespectful to see Goryeo as a human being?

To be honest, both Zhang Nuo and Cheng Yaojin were the kind of people who would slash someone with a knife without blinking their eyes, but when they slapped someone in the face like this, and the other party was polite, it was a bit difficult to do so.

No, between Zhang Nuo and Cheng Yaojin, you raised your eyebrows and I blinked to signal each other. They both wanted the other to say this, but neither of them was happy.

But Yuan Gai Suwen realized now, why are these people different from what he thought?

Shouldn't everyone be very surprised by Goryeo's firm policy against the enemy, and then discuss it with me?

Even if you pretend to be calm, you can see some clues. What is this unspeakable look in front of you?

Could there be some mystery here?
