Chapter 125 Being smart and self-defeating
A sneeze——
Ah sneeze!
While the army was marching, Chen Huaian, the king of Jin, who was riding on horseback, sneezed several times in succession, which puzzled him.
He thought to himself: I have neither a cold nor a cold, so why am I sneezing all over the place?
Could it be that someone is talking about me behind my back?
"Reporting to His Highness the King of Jin—"
The words of Ahmet, the Uighur envoy, brought Chen Huaian's thoughts back to reality.
I saw the latter saying respectfully: "Your Highness, we have now entered the Orkhon River Basin of the Uighur Khanate. Less than a hundred miles further to the west, we will arrive at the territory of the capital of Uighur, Harabalegas."
"The minister has sent messengers to Harabalegas to report to the Yingwu Khan, so that the princes, nobles, and military subjects in Harabalegas City can be prepared to welcome His Highness the King of Jin and the Dragon City army to enter the city."
With that said, Ahmet continued with a somewhat pleading tone: "I boldly request Your Highness to lead the army to rest and recuperate near the Orkhon River, and then go to the city of Harabalegas in three days!"
"because--"
"Because, our Yingwu Khan said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin came all the way with the Dragon City army and is the most distinguished guest of our Uighur Khanate. The Yingwu Khan and the soldiers and civilians in Harabalegas City should treat him with the grandest and most solemn ceremony. Ceremony to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the officers and soldiers of the Dragon City Army into the city!"
"Yes, it will take a little time to prepare for the relevant welcome ceremony. I hope His Highness King Jin will give me permission!"
After saying that, Ahmet knelt down and worshiped Chen Huaian.
Out of the corner of his eye, he was peeking at Chen Huaian's reaction.
Obviously, Ahmet's excuse that it would take three days to prepare for the welcome ceremony was clearly a pretense.
In fact, this was the Yingwu Khan's procrastination in order to find five hundred beautiful young men in the city of Harabalegas and present them to His Highness the King of Jin to buy time.
Chen Huaian, who was kept in the dark, how could he know.
He just said a joke about resisting the marriage with Princess Bijia, but under the secret speculation of Ahmet, the Uighur envoy, it turned out that the king of Jin was like Longyang?
It was even more so that Yingwu Khan took the time to believe the rumors, and even took practical actions to do what he wanted.
As a result, this unprovoked incident has developed to the point where the Huihe Khanate is now using all its strength just to please His Highness the King of Jin.
At this time, Chen Huaian, who was riding on horseback, finally agreed to Ahmet's request.
"Ahmat, this king is sure!"
Then, he ordered: "Xiao Po, pass the order and the army will rest where it is for three days!"
"The general will get the order!"
In this way, Jin King Chen Huaian personally led a hundred thousand Dragon City army, camped in the Orkhon River area less than a hundred miles away from the Uighur Khanate, and settled down to rest.
Two days later.
The other Dragon City army, which marched along the Kherulun River and conquered more than 20 cities of the Uighur Khanate, was also stationed less than a hundred miles away from the Uighur capital under the leadership of General Lan Yu.
Lan Yu took hundreds of soldiers and went straight to the Orkhon River area to meet Jin Wang Chen Huaian in the Chinese army's tent.
That night.
Jin King Chen Huaian held a banquet in the Chinese army's tent to reward the generals of the Dragon City army.
The Uighur envoy Ahemati accompanied him, which was considered as a sign of the landlord's friendship.
The banquet follows the local customs, eating hand-caught mutton and drinking mare's milk liquor.
During the banquet, General Lan Yu, who was so drunk that he was blushing, insisted on using the power of alcohol to perform some kind of wrestling dance for the generals, saying that he learned it from a wrestling king of the Uighur Khanate.
Chen Huaian, who was sitting in the center of the tent, was happy to see his generals gathering together happily.
With a wave of his hand, Lan Yu's request was granted.
Moreover, the brave general Pang Xianchu, who had accompanied the late king Chen Polu on two expeditions to the Western Regions and knew a thing or two about drums and bowls, the musical instrument of the Western Regions, was asked to personally play drums and accompany Lan Yu.
Boom, boom!
Along with the cheerful drum beat, Lan Yu, who was drunk, began to sing and dance in the big tent.
It should be said that Lan Yu has a burly image of a rough man, and dances a rough and heroic wrestling dance. Every move is quite similar, and it seems like that.
However, his solo dance seemed a bit lacking in momentum.
This scene immediately made the accompanying Uighur envoy Ahmat realize that the time was ripe.
Then, he stood up and came to the side of Jin Wang Chen Huaian, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Jin Wang, I have a few Uighurs who are good at singing, dancing, and proficient in musical instruments."
"How about we let them sing and dance to entertain His Highness and the generals?"
Um?
Hearing this, Chen Huaian raised his eyebrows, and for no reason, the scene of an exotic beauty wearing a gauze, twisting her neck and belly dancing appeared in his mind.
Then, he nodded reservedly and said, "This is a very good move!"
"The generals under my command have been fighting all the way here. They have been fighting for such a long time. It's time for them to relax and enjoy themselves!"
"Ahmat, go make arrangements!"
"I obey my orders!"
Soon, a burst of cheerful musical instruments sounded, which immediately attracted a group of Dragon City generals who were drinking and having fun in the big tent. They stopped what they were doing and looked outside the big tent.
In particular, Pang Xianchu, a brave general with two expeditions to the Western Regions, pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of musical instruments, and knew that it was time for the beauties from the Western Regions to dance.
Being drunk, even Pang Xianchu, who had always been serious in speech and dull, was looking forward to the next singing and dancing session.
Fortunately for Chen Huaian, after all, short videos had already become popular all over the world before he traveled through time. With the help of a series of special effects, he had seen all kinds of beauties.
After traveling through the Great New Dynasty, as the heir to the throne, his knowledge far surpassed that of the rough-necked generals under his command.
The only thing that aroused his interest was to compare the belly dance of the Western Regions a thousand years ago with the belly dance of a thousand years later.
After a while, "Dancing Girl" appeared.
However, the "Dancing Girl" who walked into the Chinese army's tent with cheerful steps and danced gracefully surprised the Dragon City generals present.
Especially General Lan Yu, who almost stood up and shouted: What kind of bullshit Western beauty, enchanting dancer is this?
Because all those who appeared singing and dancing in the big tent were young men from Huihe.
All of them look pretty and handsome, and they dance with great energy.
but--
Is there a room full of rough old men, or a group of old men who are red-faced and drunk, and you want them to watch a group of gigolos dancing?
This effect is no less than letting a eunuch go to a brothel.
If it weren't for the worry that Jin Wang Chen Huaian was also sitting in the tent, the drunken General Lan Yu would have overturned the table long ago, and would have chopped off Ahemati's pig head to use as a chamber pot.
Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji and others lost interest in enjoying the dance and went to drink alone.
Chen Huaian was also quite puzzled. How is this completely different from the exotic dance I imagined?
However, in order to maintain the demeanor and aura of the superior, it was naturally impossible for Chen Huaian to say anything in front of his subordinate generals.
Instead, he held a wine glass and clinked glasses with Lan Yu, Pang Xianchu and others, chatting and spanking.
After that, I never glanced at the group of Huihe dancers who were singing and dancing hard in the big tent.
Suddenly, the noise of drinking and fist-fighting in the big tent, as well as the accompaniment of a group of Huihe men singing and dancing, were distinct and out of place in the huge tent.
Only, as an envoy to Uighurs, he presumed that King Chen Huaian of Jin had a good friend of Longyang, Ahmat, and was left alone in the big tent.
With a confused look on his face, he muttered in his mind: "What's going on? Does His Highness the King of Jin not like the gigolo in his weak years?"
"Is it possible that he likes an older warrior?"
Fortunately, Chen Huaian couldn't hear Ahmet's thoughts.
Otherwise, Ahmet, who is so smart, will definitely not be able to see the rising sun tomorrow!
