At dusk, the fragrance of mutton was wafting in the Turkic camp. Several men put the roasted mutton on plates and carried them into the tent. Wang Junhao, who was guarding outside the tent, saw the dagger in the plate. Although he knew that this was the Turkic eating habit, But he couldn't help but follow him.
"Don't worry." Li Shan drove Wang Junhao out with a smile and pointed at his back, "Brother Momo, the leader of the association, this man is the nephew of Hebei general Wang Fubao."
In fact, Yu Sheshe was originally an official system, and later evolved into a name. Yu Sheshe's real name is Ashina Momo... Li Shan also ignored the weird looks in Yu Sheshe, Jishesu, Yuan Junzhang, and even Cui Xin and Kan Leng. , simply called "Brother Mo Mo".
Yu Sheshe sighed helplessly and explained to the association leader on the side: "Wang Fubao was Dou Jiande's first general at that time. Song Jingang was defeated by him in a row, so he went west to join Liu Wuzhou."
Li Shan nodded and glanced sideways. Li Shan stabbed the mutton with a dagger and put it in his mouth... Although he had been embarrassed before, he had to admit that the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than himself had a very special personality. Unparalleled courage... Li Shan entered the camp almost alone, with only Wang Junhao accompanying him.
"Associate with brother Shui...forget it, let's just call him brother from now on." Li Shan said with a smile: "Kan Leng's bravery is rare in the world. Half a year ago, the Tang army marched westward. Kan Leng stood in front of the battle with Mo Dao in his hand. Thousands of cavalry cannot force him to retreat, and Brother Mo Mo knows best..."
"Ahem, cough!"
"Brother Momo in October pursued Li Gao and moved to Yanmen Pass." Li Shan ignored Yu Sheshe's cough and continued: "Kan Leng led his troops out of the pass and greeted them with infantry. In front of Modao's formation, all the men and horses were torn apart. ...Brother Momo, right?"
Youshesu glared at Yu Sheshe angrily, and the latter laughed and scolded: "Huairen, are you going to do this?"
"Hahaha." Li Shan laughed and said, "It's just a joke."
After chatting casually for a while, Li Shan glanced at Yuan Junzhang, who was fidgeting beside him, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Mo Mo, Brother Lute, I have something to ask you..."
Yu Sheshe and Youshesu looked at each other, with smiles on their lips. The former shook his head and said, "I know what Huairen wants... I'm afraid I will disappoint Huairen."
"No, no, no, I don't want to ask you where you got the news, so you came here in a hurry to harm the recruitment." Li Shan smiled bitterly and said: "Since you two have arrived, the recruitment of Duke Yuan has been completed, why bother to ask again?"
"Then Huairen asked..."
"I'm asking, where did Brother Momo and Brother Led come from?" Li Shan put away his smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward, and asked, "Will Yu Gushe go south?"
Yu Sheshe breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to establish friendship with Li Shan, but after all, he was in an enemy country, so there were some things he couldn't tell. But he had no scruples about this kind of thing. After thinking about it for a while, he sent a message to the association leader.
"We are going south from Yunzhou." The leader said carelessly: "If Yu Gushe's fellow is still in Wuyuan County, there will be no danger."
"Oh, I'll be relieved then." Li Shan cut off a piece of mutton, "We can still hang around for a few more days... To be honest, I tossed and turned last night and stayed up all night, just because I was afraid that the guy would suddenly go south."
Yu Sheshe smiled and said: "Listen to Huairen's tone...Yugushe suffered a lot at your hands last year?"
"Don't you know, Brother Momo?"
“The news is not exactly secret, but the details are few and far between.”
"It's nothing. It's just that Yugushe tried to escape several times. Although I couldn't bear it, I had to cut his arm with a dagger to let out his blood." Li Shan chewed the mutton, "If Brother Daoxuan hadn't been trapped, he should have been sent to Chang'an, how dare you be so offensive?"
The corner of Jiusheli's mouth moved. He had cut his flesh and bled it, but he still didn't dare to be too offended?
Li Shan chewed for a long time and felt that the mutton was difficult to chew. He turned his head and asked, "Hu Shang must pass through the grassland when he goes to the Middle Kingdom. I wonder if you two can bring spices here?"
Yu Sheshe, who was about to get down to business, was confused by this sudden question, "What..."
"The craftsmanship is too rough!" Li Shan muttered: "This kind of mutton has to be sprinkled with spices and grilled, what a waste!"
Yu Sheshe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The food on the grassland is naturally not as refined as that of the Chinese people."
"I have a restaurant in the east city of Chang'an, Dongshan Restaurant. The dishes are exquisite and novel." Li Shan said with a smile: "If you have the chance, please touch my brother and lead him to the restaurant to have a taste."
Jusheshu snorted, "You can go even if you don't have an appointment!"
"Brother Li has misunderstood." Li Shan's smile grew stronger, "I am invited by Honesty."
The association rate was about to be ridiculed a few more times, but Yu Sheshe glanced at him, turned around and said with a smile: "Creating trade routes on behalf of the state, collecting wealth and moving the population, these methods... Huairen is good at business?"
"Brother Mo Mo, this is too much." Li Shan said seriously: "Although the big families in the world despise merchants, they all have properties under their sects, and there are even clan members who are responsible for taking care of common affairs. Dongshan Restaurant is just a property under the sect. Brother Mo Mo said this. In China, this can be considered as offending people."
"I made a mistake." Yu Sheshe smiled, "I just don't know why Huairen is wandering around?"
Although Yu Sheshe originally hoped to talk to Li Shan and vaguely formed an alliance with the Li Tang royal family through Li Shan, he was also wary of the other party's methods... It had only been half a year since he arrived in Dai County, and Yuan Jun refused Li Tang's offer several times. Zhang decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which was enough to prove the opponent's ability.
Li Shan put down his dagger and sighed, "I came back empty-handed from this trip. Although I won the favor of the saint and will not be questioned by the court, I am still sad..."
After a pause, Li Shan suddenly became energetic. He looked outside the tent and whispered, "Brother Mo Mo and Brother Shu, why don't you just pretend that you haven't arrived in Mayi yet?"
Yu Sheshe was too lazy to speak, and the association rate was speechless... For such a big thing, you want us to pretend that we have never been here, and then let Yuan Junzhang surrender to the Tang Dynasty like this?
Li Shan did not give up yet, and explained in detail: "Yuan voted for the Tang Dynasty, and the saint is happy. I have such great achievements, and it is not a problem to be promoted to an official position...I am not Liu Shirang who is helpless in the court."
"The above is one, and the other is that within half a year, there were continuous wars in Mayi, Shuozhou could not support it, and the food and grass under Yuan Gong were not enough. Once it surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Daizhou was willing to send food and grass, and Yuan Gong could raise the soldiers and clean up the place. "
Yu Sheshe didn't say a word, but Heshu Shu couldn't help but look at Yuan Junzhang... Indeed, this was the most direct reason why Yuan Junzhang decided to defect to the Tang Dynasty.
The trigger was the massive plundering of the Turks in Shuozhou before and after Mayi was conquered last month, which put Yuan Junzhang into the embarrassing situation of a clever woman unable to make a living without rice.
"Thirdly, in the coming year, Jieli Khan wants to march east of Hedong. Once he sends troops, Yuan Gong can choose at will..." Li Shan coughed twice, "I heard that Jieli Khan is magnanimous, so I won't blame him."
After speaking, Yuan Junzhang's forehead secreted large drops of sweat... His thoughts were clearly visible in the other person's eyes.
Yu Sheshe smiled and shook his head: "If Yuan Junzhang rebels again next year, isn't Huairen afraid of being held accountable?"
"Firstly, the saint favors me." Li Shan said sincerely: "Secondly, it will be at least April or May before Jieli Khan sends troops."
"For such a long time, I have been able to recruit Yuan Gong, so why can't I be promoted to another position?"
"As for Duke Yuan's defection next year, it is naturally due to the inability of the next acting county magistrate and Yanmen guard to deal with it..."
The members of the association were stunned and murmured: "This... this..."
"In this way, both I and Mr. Yuan will benefit, and you will not suffer any loss." Li Shan spread his hands and said: "How about... you will send grain and grass to Mayi to help Mr. Yuan spend the winter?"
After the conversation, Yu Sheshe was amazed and said with a wry smile: "No wonder the second brother said that he has a three-inch tongue at his feet. He is so eloquent and changeable. There are really outstanding people in China..."
"Brother Mo Mo, you're welcome." Li Shan smiled brightly, "Brother Mo Mo, what do you think?"
Yu Sheshe was silent and only glanced at Yuan Junzhang.
"I remember there are still two jars of good wine in the house..."
Yuan Junzhang found an excuse to leave the camp, and Yu Sheshe smiled bitterly and said: "Huairen's strategy is appropriate, but..."
"What?"
The leader of the association said in a loud voice: "I'm afraid that my two brothers will be accused by the Khan, and then it will be difficult to even raise a bowl..."
"Shi Bo Bi?"
"That is Tuli Khan." Yu Sheshe shook his head and said: "Although Shibo Bi is unwilling to fight against the Tang Emperor, Jieli Khan will never allow Ma Yi to change hands."
Li Shan looked very interested, "Brother Mo Mo, can you tell me in detail?"
