Chapter 385 Protectorate(1/2)
On the other side of the camp, Geer from the Tubo delegation also saw Zhang Chao walking into the tent of the East Girl King. Geer was in his early twenties, very young, but he was carrying heavy responsibilities. He went north and gave people the feeling that he talked very little. But he said little, but he saw more, and kept observing carefully in secret.
Observe everything, observe the little things he saw from Luoshe City, and see the changes in Subi, as well as the changes in the Kingdom of Women, Bailang, Bailan, Duomian and other countries, as well as the strength of Tuyuhun's external strength and the strength of the Tang Dynasty, the lord of the Central Plains shortly after its establishment.
Geer was particularly interested in this young Duke of Datang County. This man was so young, but it is said that he did not come from a famous noble family, but started from scratch. In just a short time, he had been named Duke and guarded the Longxi border of the Tang Dynasty. With the power of one state alone, the huge Yili tribes of Tuyuhun almost destroyed the clan, forcing Tuyuhun to compromise and form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.
Geer regarded Zhang Chao as a research object of his understanding of the Tang Dynasty and secretly observed everything about him.
"Ger, this Zhang Wenyuan is a lustful person!" Behind Geer, a Tubo man said with some disdain. Before the sky was dark, he couldn't wait to go to the tent of the Queen of the Dragon, and was too impatient.
Geer silently withdrew his gaze at the East Girls National Camp.
He turned around and glanced at the people behind him and shook his head. He knew that they all looked down on Zhang Chao because Zhang Chao looked so young and even a little weak. He wore a lot of clothes and wrapped himself tightly. This was not the image that a strong man should have. He secretly despised his tribe members.
The most powerful thing about a person is the heart, the heart controls the limbs. No matter how strong the body is, without a smart heart, he is just a fool.
After understanding this period of time, he clearly saw that Zhang Wenyuan was indeed not a warrior, but he was definitely a clever commander.
Even though Zhang Wenyuan is young, he will never be a lustful person.
"It seems that Zhang Wenyuan wants to have a secret agreement with Dongnu State!" Geer said his judgment.
The Tubo man frowned, "Ger, are you sure?"
The Tubo man was the envoy of the Tubo mission this time, and Geer was his assistant.
In recent years, under the leadership of Langri Lunzan, Tubo has risen on the plateau and is expanding everywhere. After conquering Xiangxiong and Subi, they are already considering the next target of attack.
There are currently two choices for the next conquest. One is the Duomei Kingdom to the north of Subi. The Tubo people also called them the southern country, and the other is the Eastern Nu Kingdom. The Tubo people also called them the Eastern country.
One is in the north and the other is in the northeast.
These two countries are not as powerful as Subi, but they are also quite powerful, especially now that Duomei and Dongnu are allies with the Tang Dynasty. Duomei also has two allies, Bailan and Bailang, and the Dongnu Kingdom also has eight subordinates, the Eight Kingdom of Xishan.
Both alliances each have a population of hundreds of thousands and a soldier of 20,000 to 30,000.
For Tubo, which now has 50,000 soldiers, it is no problem to attack one of the two countries alone. But if it attacks an alliance, it is not easy. If the two alliances still form an alliance again under the help of the Tang Dynasty, this would be even more unfavorable.
But what worried Tubo the most was that both alliances surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it would be troublesome. To move them, that would be to move the Tang Dynasty.
Geer nodded, "Zhang Chao must have gone to discuss matters with the East King's woman."
"Ger, you think of a solution. We have to talk to the Wu'an County Duke alone. This time I came here, and I found that the Tang Dynasty was much stronger than we expected, while the Tuyuhun was much weaker than we expected."
Geer agrees with Sambu's words.
"I think we should change our plan. Maybe we can't fight the Southern Kingdom or the Eastern Kingdom anymore. They are now allies of the Tang Dynasty. If we conquer the two countries, the Tang Dynasty is very likely to interfere. Although the Tang Dynasty is far away, it can mobilize Bailang, Bailan and Dongshan and other countries to join forces to fight us."
"Maybe we can suggest to Zanpu that we should join forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack Tuyuhun, and then divide Tuyuhun."
"Ger, I know you are very smart, but we are just Zamp's messenger, his eyes and ears, to watch the strength and attitude of various countries, especially the Tang Dynasty. As for decision-making, we have to leave this to Zamp's prime ministers to decide, and we have no right."
Geer nodded and turned around and entered the tent.
At the camp of the East Girl Kingdom, Zhang Chao looked at the crowd and turned thick-faced and directly lifted the tent.
As a result, as soon as he entered, Qingluan was taking a shower inside, standing directly in the tent, scrubbing her body.
It's embarrassing now.
Zhang Chao stood there, either moving forward or retreat.
Finally, he simply went in with a thick face, walked to the blanket, and sat down cross-legged.
Qingluan had already noticed that he had come in, but did not stop, and still scrubbed his body as if no one was around.
After Zhang Chao sat there, admiring carefully, untied his hair bun, removed his clothes, and even the traditional makeup on his face, she was an ordinary girl.
Or she is not ordinary, with a very healthy figure, a flat belly, a thin waist, and a wonderful curve. If she doesn't speak, she is no different from a Han girl.
A girl who can wear leather pants so sexy has a good figure.
"It's not dark yet!"
Qingluan turned around and continued to wipe her body while smiling at Zhang Chao.
"I'm just here to talk to you about something."
"We can also do something else while talking." Qingluan said with a smile.
Such a stingy girl is indeed amazing.
"Help me get the clothes, just the silk one next to you."
Zhang Chao picked up the silk long skirt, which was very beautiful and colorful. At a glance, he knew it was a conscientious product purchased by the Zhang family's caravan from Zhongyuan.
"It's so cold, actually, it's better to wear velvet clothes than to wear silk."
The silk is soft and cool, especially thin and transparent, and it will be very comfortable to wear in summer, but in winter, it is just average.
"I like silk, it is so beautiful, so smooth and smooth!"
Hand over the clothes.
Qingluan didn't answer, "You can help me wear it, or you can do it without wearing it." As she said that, she chuckled and turned around, and wanted to take off Zhang Chao's clothes.
"It's not dark yet!" It's Zhang Chao's turn to say this.
"I've come here, no matter whether it's dark or not." Qingluan didn't care about that much, she was very direct. She didn't hide whatever she thought in her heart. It was not that she didn't know how to do it, but she just didn't want to.
"I'm really just here to talk about it."
“So what?”
.........
In the end, Zhang Chao got out of the bed sheets when he talked about it.
"Let's talk now!" Zhang Chao gasped.
Qingluan smiled, "Is there really something to talk about? I thought you were just..."
"You can't doubt my character like this, I'm really here to talk about it."
"I'm going to do it again later!"
.........
After the third time, Qingluan finally stopped being crazy and was willing to talk about things.
"Can we sit here and talk carefully?"
Zhang Chao said angrily to Qingluan, who was wrapped around him like her claws, "This woman is too crazy, and Zhang Chao is a little overwhelmed by her madness."
"So tired, don't want to move!"
"It's not easy to talk about this!"
"How come you can't talk about things like this, just talk about them. Whatever you want to talk about, you just say it."
The two of them hugged each other, covered with blankets and a brazier on one side, which was quite warm and comfortable.
Originally, Zhang Chao wanted to get along with Qingluan, and then he saw whether the two hundred male and female soldiers of the Shi Dongwo Kingdom could be used by him. But now, Zhang Chao suddenly felt that he couldn't speak anymore. Forget it, he would just make the relationship more intimate.
Capture the king first. If Qingluan has a good relationship, he should help him.
"Say, didn't you just say you had something to talk about?"
Qingluan asked lying on Zhang Chao's chest.
"I forgot what I was going to talk about at once."
"Hahaha!"
Qingluan couldn't stop laughing, and stretched out her hand to pat Zhang Chao constantly, laughing so hard that she almost lost her anger.
Zhang Chao was quite embarrassed. As a result, he seemed to be really here to get off the bed sheets.
"Listen to me, I was really going to talk about things, but I forgot it after you made a fuss."
"Stop talking, can't I believe it?"
After she finally stopped, Zhang Chao felt his face burning, and no matter how thick the face was, he couldn't bear it.
"Sanlang, I have something I want to talk to you."
"What?"
"Our Kingdom of Women wants to buy some weapons from the Tang Dynasty, namely your Mingguang armor and longbow hard crossbows, especially those Fuyuan crossbows, bed crossbows, horizontal swords and stair spears. We all want to buy some."
When talking about the serious matters, Zhang Chao became serious.
He hugged Qingluan and stroked his fingers through her long hair.
"Arms are quite sensitive materials and are always prohibited from flowing out."
“Aren’t we allies?”
Zhang Chao smiled, "What do you want to buy weapons and how much do you want to buy?"
"Defend the enemy, you know that around us, Tubo, Dangxiang, Liuzhao, and Manliao, these people have always been hostile to us, and even come to plunder every year. Especially now that Subi is occupied by the Tubo people, they have expanded to our side. To the east, Liuzhao's strength is getting bigger and bigger, especially Nanzhao among them, which are all great enemies."
Zhang Chao knew what Qingluan said.
The overall situation in the southwest is that big fish are eating small fish. Tubo and Nanzhao continue to become stronger and will eventually become the two overlords in the southwest. The original powerful force like the Kingdom of Women will eventually be annexed.
To be continued...
