445 Preparation 2
Today, Chen Yu called the two indigenous generals of Sabah and Santop to the city lord's mansion, and also called Lin Bai, the leader of the city guard.
In the city lord’s mansion, Hong Wuduan sat in the main seat, and Chen Yu sat in the first place. Sabah and Santop didn’t think there was anything, anyway, they recognized Chen Yu, and they didn’t particularly understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty. , Even when they speak, they also have a strange accent, but it's not bad, at least there is no problem in communication.
Lin Bo saluted Hong Wu as soon as he came over, then bowed his hand to Chen Yu before sitting down.
Chen Yu said quietly, "I plan to go to Datang Capital, Sabah and Santop. You two will follow me, and find some people from your tribe to follow. You don’t need a lot of people. A man wants a hundred people. Long and strong, a little taller, I want a hundred women, and I also choose taller ones, and more attractive ones. You two tribes have half of them. Remember, regardless of male or female, I want Younger people."
"City Lord, there is no problem, I will find someone for you after I go back, and then I will go to Datang Capital with the city lord to have a look."
Sabah is really happy. Their Hasunu tribe moved here with Kwabang. It turns out that their tribe is next to Nanzhao Kingdom. Naturally, they have some understanding of Datang and also know Chang'an City. Now when I talk about going, I must be happy, after all, such an eye-opening opportunity must never be missed.
Santop also expressed his opinion. He was originally from Kwabang. Now Kwabang does not have a leader. Since he has some rights, then the Kwabang people will naturally follow his will. After all, Santop is a guest. A representative of Wabang.
In fact, the tribes here do not have a leader, so there is an advantage to avoiding conflicts and gathering a large group of people, or even rebelling. Isn’t it good like this? Some people with rights can represent the tribesmen, but in essence, they don’t have the right to represent the entire tribe. Once they lose the rights in their hands, the tribesmen won’t have anything to do with it. Dissatisfaction, in themselves, they are not a natural leader.
After seeing the agreement of the two, Chen Yu said again: "You tell the elected people that we are going to Chang'an on behalf of Siam City this time, which is equivalent to going to other countries on behalf of a country, so that they must abide by the rules and be obedient. After returning, I will reward no one who has gone."
"City Lord, I will confess it, and let them comply."
After Santorp finished speaking, Sabah also said: "They have a chance to go to Datang to see. How dare you not follow the rules? Please rest assured that I will bring the words of the city lord and look at them. There will be no unruly people."
"Okay, this thing must be done tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we will set off with the boat. Remember, let them all be cleaned up. You come and get your clothes tomorrow, and I will prepare them for them. As for the weapons you carry, you go I can borrow from other tribes. Anyway, I can't bring the knives and bows we use."
Chen Yu thought about this last night. The knife they used was the Tang Hengdao. This is a saber. Although it is not a high-quality thing, it is not what they should have, especially the bow. The arrows are all with pulleys, and the arrows are all three-edged arrows. The bows and arrows are stronger than those used by Tang Jun. Chen Yu dare not bring them. So weapons can only take things that were originally used by the tribal people, anyway, they are not going to fight, just defend themselves.
Although Sabah and Santop didn’t quite understand why they didn’t use good weapons, they found some useless things to bring with them, but they didn’t say much. Since Chen Yu gave orders like this, it was of ulterior motives. They only had to follow the instructions. Just do it.
Instead, Santop asked: "The city lord, since we are on an envoy, we have to prepare our belongings. Is this really enough?"
"Enough, we went directly to Guangzhou to enter the country, and then set off from Guangzhou to Chang'an City. There would be no danger on the road, because we showed up as an envoy, and the local government would send someone to escort us. No one dared to attack us. Besides, even if there is no one to escort, is the person you are looking for so unusable?"
Santope said again: "Don't worry, the city lord, the person I'm looking for is definitely not a vulnerable person, and I will definitely choose the manpower well."
Chen Yu said to Sabah and Santop again: "You are all clear about this. Let me talk about another thing. You selected three hundred people from the army. You must be good at fighting and bow and arrow people. Lin Bai, the commander of the city guards, told them that if they were asked to go back alive this time, they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. If they died in battle, their families would also have nothing to worry about. Choose from among the people, don’t force them, and their destination is also Chang’an.”
Sabah quickly said: "City Lord, what is this going to do? Our people must not make trouble in Chang'an, otherwise we will not be able to come back."
Chen Yu said: "Don't worry, they won't do things under the banner. They have nothing to do with us. You only need to do this thing as I tell you. Remember, the requirements I just said. , Don’t force them, ask them to go there voluntarily, I want you to do it tomorrow.”
Afterwards, Sabah said: "Yes, City Lord, I will follow your instructions to do this well."
Santorp also handed his hand: "If the city lord has no other orders, I will go to the army to select personnel."
Chen Yu nodded, and this allowed the two to leave the city lord’s mansion. Although Hong Ming took away most of the army, there is still an army of more than 10,000 people here. Three hundred dead soldiers should be selected from them. Not too difficult. Chen Yu’s only concern is whether these people are enough and whether they can complete the task smoothly according to the plan. However, this does not seem to be something he should consider. He should think of something to envoy, and this is for him. Task.
There are only Chen Yu, Hong Wu and Lin Bai left here. They are all their own, so they can talk a lot. Then Hong Wu said: "Lin Bai, you are going to Chang'an this time to rescue Yingying. You go back. Later, I selected 20 people and all looked for the original brothers. With you leading the team, I can rest assured, how to do it. After you arrive in Chang'an, you can ask Mr. Nangong to find out. We have a business statement. You can use this You can collateralize the goods and bring weapons into the city, but you can’t use the bows and arrows modified by the young master, just use the usual stone bows and swords.
Lin Bai is naturally aware of the danger here, but Hong Wu also understands this matter. This is to save Yingying. He must do this well. Hong Wu has already said how to do it, so he doesn't need to ask anymore. Afterwards, he just asked: "Brother Wu, how do we go, what route do we take, and when will we get to Chang'an?"
Hong Wu went on to say: "In two months, you will take a boat to Yangzhou and then change your way to Yangzhou. When you arrive in Yangzhou, prepare your carts and horses. As for the goods, you can bring anything you want. Anyway, this is just to cover up. Also, you need to go to Chang'an first to meet with your husband and listen to his arrangements.” (End of this chapter)
