Datang Live Room

When he returned to the border of Datang the next day, no one caught up with him, so Yan Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just their appearance that startled the border guard.

This kind of metal armor looks like heavy armor from a distance.

Three thousand heavy armored infantrymen of unknown origin are about to attack the city!

Before Yan Kai and the others could get closer, the gate at the border gate was firmly closed.

Yan Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was at the door of his house and was locked out as if he were guarding against thieves.

But it's no wonder. Who told this team to look too intimidating from a distance?

Ask these slaves to take off their "armor" clothes from a distance, and then hang their wooden guns on the poles and swing them.

The people at the city gate took a look and asked, "What's going on?"

all fake!

The clothes swayed like seaweed in the wind above the barrel of the gun.

As long as you are not stupid, you will definitely see it.

Chun Yuzhen walked to the city gate and shouted: "These are the Tang people we exchanged from the Turks. They are ordinary people."

The border guard must know what the Tang Dynasty people exchanged mean, and his ears were slightly red after hearing it.

Every year, the Turks would go south to capture people. However, they did not have enough troops and their fighting power was not strong. Even if they defended tightly, many people were captured and taken as prisoners every year.

Cautiously, they sent a few people down in hanging baskets. After a closer look, they confirmed that these people were indeed Turkic slaves.

The clan imprint of the Zhishu tribe is branded on their backs.

Some even have the clan seals of two or three tribes, and they are the kind of people who have been bought and sold several times.

Yan Kai also asked people to take the initiative to hand over the wooden guns of these slaves.

Without weapons and armor, even though there were many people, the border guard dared to open the city gate and let people go.

After letting Yan Kai and the others in, the guard came to Yan Kai's side. Unexpectedly, the leader of the caravan was actually such a young boy.

Moreover, he was brave and resourceful and was able to bring back three thousand people from the Turks in this way.

Yan Kai winked at Huang Rong, and Huang Rong rolled her eyes at him. After receiving His Majesty's secret order, Yan Kai became more and more comfortable in commanding him.

He stepped forward and said something to the guard, and then looked at something.

Intelligence agencies like theirs always have some external identity when it comes to local governments.

The guard general was still a little confused at first. Logically speaking, Yan Kai had made a great contribution by rescuing so many people.

But all of his men were wearing armor. They were real armor, the kind that made him jealous when he saw them.

Private possession of armor is a grave sin of rebellion.

He had to take down this man, but he saved so many people!

Fortunately, now that we have Huang Rong's identity, it makes sense.

Yan Kai said to the guard general: "I don't know the name of this general. Can you take us to look after these people for two days?"

"My name is Su Dingfang. It's no problem to take care of me for two days, but what are your plans?"

Yan Kai was stunned: "Su Dingfang?" "

"You know me?" Su Dingfang was also stunned. Why was this young man so surprised when he heard his name?

"No, no." Yan Kai did not expect that this little guard was actually Su Dingfang, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Su Dingfang had just joined Datang at this time.

First, when he was a boy, he accompanied his father Su Yong to conquer the local bandits. Later, in the late Sui Dynasty, he defected to the Hebei Rebel Army led by Liu Heitai and Dou Jiande.

He did make a lot of contributions. After Liu Heitai's defeat, he returned to his hometown.

It was not until Li Shimin came to the throne that he was granted the title of Captain Zhechong.

But soon it was time for him to follow Li Jing in the northern expedition to the Eastern Turks. Two hundred cavalry entered the formation first and broke through Jieli Khan's tent, becoming the key figure in defeating the Eastern Turks.

"Please ask General Su to look after these people for two days, and I will do another one."

There is also a Sunong Ministry nearby. He can still follow the same pattern and get thousands more slaves back.

According to the history he knew, Xue Yantuo would soon leave the Turks and join the Tang Dynasty.

Coupled with the issue of internal fighting among Turks.

The Turks will soon turn from prosperity to decline, and will be unable to look south.

He came over in a hurry, just to make a time difference.

If the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks really happened, I don’t know how many casualties these Han slaves would have suffered, but even if they were rescued, it would not be his share.

Population has always been an important resource.

Even if Li Shimin brought back a million people, it would still be impossible for him to establish a county.

So if you want to recruit people, you have to do it yourself.

The people from the Sunong Department were easier to talk to than the people from the Zhihu Department. They really looked like they were doing business with the Tang Dynasty honestly.

But Yan Kai didn't intend to be soft, after all, they had kidnapped so many Han slaves.

He brought another two thousand people from the Tang Dynasty back to the Tang Dynasty. Su Dingfang's eyes widened.

Is it so easy to go to Turks and save people?

Even he also looked at Yan Kai's courage with special eyes.

Before leaving, Yan Kai gave Su Dingfang dozens of glass beads.

"This thing is too valuable, I can't accept it." Su Dingfang shook his head.

"Who told you to accept it?" Yan Kai chuckled: "You should be able to contact many nearby Turkic and Shiwei nobles on this border. You can sell these as soon as possible and make a fortune, because soon these will be It’s not worth anything anymore.”

"It's worthless?" Su Dingfang didn't believe it. Such beads looked like very expensive jewelry. They were so crystal clear, how could they be worthless?

"Yes, just trust me and sell it as soon as possible. You can still sell it for a lot of money now. With the money, you can go buy things in Kuoding County, Dengzhou."

He also took a lot of beads and asked Huang Rong to send them to the border states.

These Turkic nobles believed Yan Kai's words that scarcity is the most valuable thing, so when they took action, they did not take out much, and the news could not spread so quickly.

He can let the border states of Datang sell these beads at the same time and make a lot of money.

With the communication level at this time across the thousands of miles of Datang-Turkic border, this kind of thing could not be spread at all.

By the time Turks really reacted, these glass beads had already entered Turks in large quantities, and the price would definitely have been driven down.

Of course, such rare items still have a certain value, but they cannot be compared to the price that Datang sold them for in the past.

Another letter was sent to Li Shimin, asking him to urge the states to proceed.

It can be regarded as a transaction between two people. These glass beads can bring a lot of income to the border city.

It would be difficult for Li Shimin to pursue the thousands of Tang people he brought back.

"Dengzhou? Kuoding County?" Su Dingfang was a little confused. Why did he want to go shopping in a place that he had never heard of?

"Because their mail armor and crossbows can be purchased in Kuoding County!"

Yan Kai was trying to expand his customers. Since he knew that Su Dingfang played a key role in the Turkic War, there was no problem in selling him some good equipment.

When Su Dingfang heard that he could buy mail armor and crossbows, he was happy at first, and then asked in confusion: "This..."

He wanted to ask whether it violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Yan Kai understood what he meant and said directly: "These things are made by the county government. Just go and find someone named Zheng Zhixun to contact you."
