Back 068
Chapter 068, Every man is so arrogant, and all the horses are silent for a while
Yuanzhen promised that as long as the court's pacification plan was successful, the Turks could set up a tent and establish a country in the Rehai area again, and then the Turkic tribes would respect Zuo Youxian as the "Supreme National Master" for generations. He would have to be in the Turkic country and have a transcendent and noble status. Why did Yuanzhen make such a promise? He was also hinting-
If Che Bu was named Khan, the Turkic tribes would regain their concentration to establish the country, and Che Bu's talent would probably only be a symbol. The real power would fall into the hands of Yuanzhen, and the affairs of the middle school of China would be decided by him. After a long time, it would be too early to talk about these things. It is impossible to say clearly that the primary task is how to suppress the wizard Gu Dulu, and use Mei Zhenyi's relationship to negotiate secretly with Mei Xiaolang. All of this requires winning over the master Zuo Youxian.
In fact, he was very happy to have Yuan Zhen killed Gu Dulu and directly empty the car book and make the decision himself, but he didn't dare to do this rashly without this ability. He could only show kindness to Zuo Youxian and tell the interests of the people. Zuo Youxian was not only a master of cultivation, but also an important official under the command of Fu Gongshi, who was both civil and military. It should be clear that what he said was reasonable.
After Yuanzhen finished speaking, he gave a deep gift to Zuo Youxian and said solemnly: "Zuozun Zuo, we grassland people have always promised a thousand gold. We have spoken and never repent. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts!"
Zuo Youxian said in his heart: "Yibo Qianjin? What a joke! I have been rebelling and rebelling over the years. How many times have I been rebelling? It seems to be straightforward, but in fact it is capricious. If you are greedy, you will kill people, set fire to extort." But at the same time, I also feel that Yuan Zhen is not simple, at least she is a sensible person, much better than the likes of Chepu.
Zuo Youxian was not concerned about the "major plan" of the Turks. His interest was only to oppose the Li family in the Tang Dynasty. He came to help him rebel. After hearing Yuan Zhen's words, he looked unfathomable and pondered slightly: "What the general said is very insightful. When I see Lord Che Bu, I will persuade him. It is indeed unwise to behead the Mei family's child for no reason."
Yuan Zhen quickly said, "You said that, the villain is relieved. If you have any questions, the Supreme Great Master will bother you!" Before the matter was even removed, the hat of the "Supreme Great Master" was given out first.
There are more than Zuo Youxian who put on the big hat before he succeeds. The difference is only passive and active. The Lord Chepu has now called himself the "Golden Sect Heavenly Khan". He has been frustrated for many years, and Chepu has never been so majestic. He climbed up and called out 100,000 iron cavalry gathered, and his flags are all invincible. He is already comparing to his ancestor Shibi Khan.
When Yuanzhen was discussing with Zuo Youxian, the Khan of Tian was drinking in the golden tent, holding a gold-clad rhinoceros horn cup in one hand and kneading under the short leather skirt of a charming woman with the other hand. A group of Turkic women with only inches of strands were surrounded by a beautiful screen, as if surrounding a beautiful flesh screen. Enjoying the wine, listening to the slightly painful panting of the beautiful woman in her arms, Chebu felt a sense of conquest and satisfaction to master everything, and was already a little drunk.
At this time, someone inside the tent reported: "Qi reported to the Khan of Tian and Master Gu Duluo, who asked for a meeting, had an urgent military consultation."
Hearing the four words of emergency military information, Che Bu's drunkenness became much more awake, and he quickly asked Gu Dulu to enter the tent. Gu Dulu looked in his forties. His face was thin and his skin was slightly dark, his nose was deep in his eye sockets, and his eyes were flashing with cold light. After entering the tent, he placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed to Che Bu's gift.
Che Bu waved and said, "Master, don't salute me, sit down quickly... You are still waiting for the master to wear a loose dress and drink!"
After Gu Duluo sat down, he did not let the beauty serve the wine. He shook his head and said, "Tian Khan, please retreat, I have a secret report."
Seeing that he was solemn, Che Bu also waved his hand to let everyone around him retreat, put down his wine glass and asked, "What's the big deal? Isn't Tang Jun still a hundred miles away?"
Gu Dulu: "It's not that the Tang army has changed, but someone in our army has a strange intention. Zuo Zhizun captured the boy from the Lemei family and was imprisoned in his own tent. I sent my wizard to monitor him and found that Ashide Yuanzhen had also ordered his subordinates to send delicious food to show goodwill. I just got the news again that Zuo Zhizun was stopped by Yuanzhen on the way to see Tian Khan. I don't know what to discuss with him."
Che Bu: "You said Yuan Zhen had a strange intention! No way? I knew his idea. I was advised to take the opportunity to negotiate peace with the Tang army and lead all Turkic tribes to surrender. I was officially enthroned by the Tang court."
Gu Dulu sneered: "After or later, it will be discussed, but not now! The most urgent task is to defeat Mei Xiaolang's army, occupy the entire territory of Beiting and Anxi, let Mei Xiaolang be convicted and avenge you and me, and let the Tang Dynasty know the power of the Turks. Then we will propose marriage to the court, and the beautiful women's gold and silk and pasture fiefs will not be allowed to be taken by Tian Khan."
Che Bu smiled: "What the master said is very true! Yuanzhen's advice makes sense, but his eyes are too short-sighted and he doesn't know the great ambitions in your heart. The war is imminent, and Yuanzhen has to command and dispatch various troops. There is no need to be too suspicious. I think he met Zuo Zun on the way to ask about the Mei family boy."
Gu Dulu's eyes turned: "Tian Khan is not aware of his use, but we must not be without a guard. Now Yuan Zhen has the power of military power and mobilizes various troops in the name of Tian Khan. If this battle is won, his prestige will also increase greatly. With time, he may become the second Fu Nian, Wen Fu!"
When he heard this, Che Bu's face darkened and frowned and thought for a long time: "Well, you must be careful of others. Just send someone to keep a close eye. In addition, you can also send a command to the general of the Yenmeng in Heisha City to lead the army to advance and respond from the flanks. This battle will definitely defeat Mei Xiaolang. At that time, the Yenmeng will be rewarded to restrain Yuan Zhen. You and I will be in the upper hand and you will be worry-free."
It turned out that after the Turks captured the fortress Heisha City, there were no less than 100,000 troops stationed in the city, so they set up camp on the banks of Recoa and sent another leader of the three nobles, Yemian, to lead 30,000 troops to guard Heisha City.
Gu Dulu nodded and said, "This plan is very good, but I don't know what Yuanzhen wants to discuss with Zuo Zhizun? If he..."
Che Bu interrupted him and said, "Don't doubt Zuo Zun. I jokingly said at the table, he traveled thousands of miles to bring the Mei family boy. He is really a man of a thousand gold. Besides, he has great supernatural powers, and it is really a blessing for me to get help from this person." He felt something was wrong here, and he coughed and said, "But no matter how powerful he has, he is an outsider after all, and he is only a respectable distinguished guest. Master Gu Dulu is the high priest of the grassland. My confidant and arm are like brothers. It's okay for us to be a little elegant towards our guests."
Gu Duluo laughed twice: "Da Khan. I don't doubt Zuo Zhizun, but I also want to remind you to treat this person well and not let him be attracted by Yuan Zhen. It is indeed a blessing for us to get this person's help."
Che Bu: "If Yuanzhen can be deceived with just a few words, then he is not a paradise. Wouldn't he come to see me? If we take the initiative to mention Yuanzhen's work to him when we meet, we don't have to suspect it."
At this moment, a personal soldier outside the tent reported: "Qi Khan Tian, Mr. Zuo asked for a meeting."
Che Bu and Gu Duluo looked at each other and said loudly: "Come on your behalf!"
Zuo Youxian walked in with a curtain and bowed to the car book. However, the car book had already left his seat and walked forward, and smiled and said, "The Zuo Supreme works hard and has made great contributions. I really don't know how to thank you?... Come on, please sit down!" He personally sent Zuo Youxian to the seat. He poured a glass of wine and placed it on the table.
Zuo Youxian took out the Kunwu sword from his arms and said, "It's just a trivial matter, the Khan doesn't have to praise him. I went to retrieve the lost Kunwu sword, and the original owner will return it to the original owner and ask the Khan to take it back."
Che Bu shook his hand straight: "Although Kunwu sword is expensive, how can you help Zuo Zuo? Since you are recovering it, it should belong to Zuo Zuo."
Gu Duluo also said, "Zuo Zuo is so polite. I don't know how to thank you yet. How dare you accept the Kunwu sword you took back? Put it away quickly." He said this, but there was still a hint of regret in his eyes.
Zuo Youxian was not polite, so he put away Kunwu's sword and said bluntly: "On the way here, I met General Yuanzhen. He told me that Dasang wanted to push the Mei family boy to the front of the formation and behead the flag. Could this be the case? If this is true, I think it is not the best solution."
Seeing that he mentioned this matter directly. Che Bu and Gu Duluo both showed relief on their faces, Gu Duluo smiled: "The Zuo Supreme is too worried. I had this plan, but when the general of the yeast face of Heisha City heard about this, he offered a clever plan. The Khan had changed his attention."
Zuo Youxian: "Oh, what's the trick of General Huang's face?"
Che Bu replied: "It is better to disrupt the morale of the other party than to sacrifice flags in front of the formation!"
Ye Ming had an idea and asked the spies lurking in Wang Fangyi's army to spread news. There were two main things: one was that Mei Xiaolang sent his son to the enemy and did not want to fight. He had already asked the Turkic army for peace in private. The other was that Mei Xiaolang's son was captured by the Turkic people, and he was already terrified and had no desire to fight. This not only could damage the morale of the Tang army, but also aroused the suspicion of the generals between Wang Fangyi and Mei Xiaolang. Ye Ming had a good abacus.
This time, the Tang Dynasty launched 300,000 troops, of which 200,000 were transferred from Guanzhong by Mei Xiaolang, so naturally there were no Turkic spies. However, Wang Fangyi's 100,000 people were guarding soldiers of various ethnic groups in the local area. All ethnic groups have lived in this place for a long time, and spies are inevitably involved. The Turks could allow these spies to scatter rumors in the other party's army, which was to disrupt the morale of the Tang Dynasty.
When the two armies were in a fight, they pushed Mei Zhenyi forward, and the evidence was as strong as a mountain. Mei Xiaolang was unaware of it. In the future, the war was defeated, and Mei Xiaolang would have to be punished by the Tang Dynasty. This plan was deeply loved by the loyalty. He wanted to take personal revenge against Mei Xiaolang. In this way, he could disrupt the morale of the opponent. Why not do it if he killed two birds with one stone? He immediately encouraged the car book to issue an order.
Zuo Youxian shook his head when he heard this and blurted out: "Silly, this plan is very stupid!"
Che Bu said in confusion: "Why did Zuo Xu Zuo say this?"
Zuo Youxian: "Soldiers are major affairs of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival. How can a small child move the army? Mei Zhenyi is the son of Xiaolang, not the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty!... If it is secretly revealed, it may also use this to discuss contact with Mei Xiaolang in private and gain some hope for the pacification. Now everyone knows that this is forcing Mei Xiaolang to abandon his son!"
Gu Dulu said, "So what? It's not harmful to our army!"
Zuo Youxian: "Why is there no harm? The military camp is not as good as the market. Sudden rumors appear, and it is easy to follow the camp. When the Turks ambushed in the Tang army and do things in detail, they will be exposed because of this."
Che Bu then came back to his senses and said in surprise: "I shouldn't have ordered everyone to spread rumors. If I send someone secret orders to stop him, it's probably too late."
Gu Dulu: "Maybe Mr. Zuo was worried too much. Even so, my Turkic troops were already ready to sacrifice for Tian Khan. Don't the Han people often say, 'Building troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while'?"
Zuo Youxian sighed inwardly and said nothing. Looking at the two people in front of him, he had already expected that the Turks would have to be defeated in this battle. It was really unfair to fall into their hands! Yuan Zhen was a sensible person. Unfortunately, he could not make the decision. He could make the decision. He was not a little bit inferior in his writing and martial arts.
Alas, I don’t care, I can’t even control myself. I just want to fight this battle. I will do whatever I like! He himself still finds a way to "enlighten" Mei Zhenyi and let that boy fall to the left-wing sect. This is the serious thing in front of him.
When Zuo Youxian met the car book, a hundred miles away, Mei Xiaolang was also discussing military information with Deputy Commander Wang Fangyi in the central army tent of the Tang Dynasty military camp. There were no one around, and there was a secret letter on the table between the two.
Mei Xiaolang pointed to the letter and said, "This is a secret letter sent by Ashide Yuanzhen to send people to the land. The letter mentioned that if the imperial court would enthrone Chebu as the Turkic Khan, and set up the land of Rehai for the Turkic tribes to graze and beg for food, he was appointed Yuanzhen as the Great Protector of Rehai. He was willing to persuade Chebu to lead the Turkic tribes to surrender. He would always be the people of the Tang Dynasty, pay tribute every year to come to the court every year... What do you think of General Wang?"
Wang Fangyi sneered: "I think beautifully! This time the gathering of elite troops of various Turkic troops is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. It should be wiped out in one fell swoop. How can we give them a chance to recuperate? Will it be a disaster for them to grow up in the future?"
Mei Xiaolang nodded: "What the general said is very true, but now Empress Wu is in power and wants to promote the power of the nations coming to court. Can't I report this to the court?"
Wang Fangyi said decisively: "You can't report it. There is no need to report it. The Turks were headed by Chepu, not Yuanzhen. He sent envoys to talk about it because they were useless... Let's take a step back, even if Chepu had the intention, Mei Gong would never accept it. The Turks have been capricious for many years, and sometimes they raised troops to plunder, and sometimes they asked for the wealth and comfort of the Celestial Empire. How could our Celestial Empire take the property and wealth of the people and plunder the thieves outside the country!... Some people in the court want this, is Mei Gong also want this?"
Mei Xiaolang was speechless. Wang Fangyi was right. He was silent for a moment before he said: "I agree with the general, but I should try my best to defeat the enemy and be selfish when marching and fighting. The smaller the price, the better. Being the best before fighting is the best. I will not hide it. I have sent an envoy to discuss with Yuanzhen in an attempt to shake his desire to fight to the death."
Wang Fangyi: "A warrior is a treacherous way, which can make the Turkic monarch and minister suspicious. Of course it is beneficial to us, so it is okay to talk to him. But before the battle formation, it will be annihilated with thunder, so that the Turkic tribes will no longer have the chance to cause rebellion."
At this moment, the personal soldiers outside the tent reported loudly: "General Ling Zi has an urgent military request to see Lord Wang."
Ling Zi is the deputy general under Wang Fangyi and the general manager of the camp. Mei Xiaolang immediately sent him an order to come in. Ling Zi was wearing armor and was inconvenient to salute, so he clasped his fists in the tent and said, "Sir Wang, there is an emergency military service in the camp. Please go back to the camp to deal with it quickly." He lowered his head while speaking, and did not dare to look at Mei Xiaolang.
Wang Fangyi frowned and said, "What happened? Could it be that the Turks had any abnormal movements? I also came to disturb me when I was discussing the matter with Gong Mei?"
Seeing Ling Zi's expression strange, Mei Xiaolang only asked Wang Fangyi to return to the camp but did not say what happened. He also asked: "What happened in your camp? I need Lord Wang to deal with it personally, and it is not convenient to repay me in person?"
After hearing Mei Xiaolang's question, Wang Fangyi glared and said, "Ling Zi, what's wrong with you? What happened to me in my camp is not reported to Mei Gong clearly!"
Ling Zi looked a little embarrassed and stepped forward and whispered: "In the camp of the Northwest Town Guard, there were rumors today, and some soldiers discussed it. It was said that the son of the Southern Lu Gong is now in the Turks. Some people falsely accused the Southern Lu Gong of sending his son to collude with the enemy, and some people said that the Turks had captured the son of my commander as hostages... After hearing the news, I immediately ordered that the rumors should not be spread and the people who spread the rumors were investigated. However, rumors spread all over the camps this afternoon, and they spread throughout the Northwest Army. The last general felt very strange and came to report it specifically."
Wang Fangyi was also surprised when he heard this. He looked at Mei Xiaolang without saying anything for a moment. Mei Xiaolang's heart skipped a beat, and his heart sank, but his face did not change. After thinking a little, he asked: "There are rumors in the military camps in the northwest towns, so what about the camps in the Guanzhong area?"
Ling Zi: "The two military horses were stationed separately, and there were no rumors spread in the Guanzhong army camp."
