Chapter 44: The madness that falls into death
In fact, Yuchi Tiao's rebelliousness is not hidden perfectly, and there are still some traces.
However, Pei Min first came to the Western Regions and did not know much about the situation of various countries.
Even though he has paid great attention to the situation in the Western Regions in recent years, he only knows some basic and real confidential details, which he finds difficult to understand by just a few words.
Pei Min is not a god, she can see through what Yuchi Tiao is thinking and knows that he has a strange intention.
His plan to defeat the enemy was decided when he went to Ruiye City.
It was just a little short of time, that is, as he said, to make Sulu believe that the attack on the royal court was the most critical step in his plan.
In order to do this well, Pei Min spent a lot of brain cells. The reason why he told the kings and generals of the Western Regions was not that he felt that there was an internal support among the kings and generals of the Western Regions, but that they wanted to appease the morale of the military. At critical moments, they would inevitably reveal some to the soldiers, causing such a thing to happen.
In this way, Su Lu was affected in Suye City, and then linked the information he found from the Tang army, so that he was convinced that Ge Luolu and Gai Jiayun joined forces to take the Tuqi Shi Wangting.
As a result, by chance, Yuchi Tiao, the anti-bone boy, told Su Lu the fake news, and ordered the plan to speed up.
It even surpassed Pei Min's plan smoothly, which surprised Pei Min, but also felt very surprised.
Through Sun Zhou's contact, Pei Min also learned that Zhan Ru, who was preparing to implement the plan in Suoye City, was also confused and stuffy.
His plan has not been implemented yet, and Sulu has already started to take action.
Pei Min then realized that someone had leaked his military secrets, and that were the generals and officials of the Anxi kings and countries, and the political leaders of the countries who heard the news for the first time.
Because there are only two types of people who know the news, one is the people who heard him say that day, and the other is the Geluo and Gai Jiayun whom he notified.
If there is a problem with Gelu and Gai Jiayun, Sulu will not have this reaction.
As for the generals of Longyou and Liangzhou, Pei Min was very confident in his vision and did not believe that the soldiers he brought out would betray him without warning.
After selection, Pei Min put his suspicious eyes on Yuchi Tiao.
But he did not rely on real evidence, and Anxi's situation was complicated. After this battle, he had power but no kindness to the kings and generals of Anxi. If he was not merciful and did not rely on the basis of killing Yuchi Tiao, he would probably follow the old path of Xianzhi.
The defeat of Talas and the collision between the two empires of the East and the West ended with the failure of the Tang Empire. There are many reasons, among which Ge Luolu's betrayal has always been thought to be the main reason.
But in Pei Min's view, Gao Xianzhi's own personality flaws are the crucial factor.
As a general, Gao Xianzhi achieved the ultimate of a general, but in the end he lacked the gentleness of some civil officials.
This made him feel powerful but not kind. The countries in the Western Regions were afraid of their power. Gao Xianzhi did some extraordinary things and suddenly ruined the situation in the Western Regions.
Pei Min has always been very reasonable, so he set up a bureau and gave up his unpreparedness to Yuchi Tiao.
Then look like you already know everything...
Sure enough, Yuchi Tiao couldn't stand it and intended to hijack him, exposing everything.
Geshuhan stood up and said, "Pei Shuai, ask the subordinates to ask about the situation. The subordinates have a close relationship with Khotan, and there are many people who know each other, so they should be able to find out something."
Pei Min was slightly stunned and replied: "Okay! Go!"
Geshuhan nodded and went.
This happened, and Pei Min naturally ended the military meeting.
In fact, the purpose of this military meeting was to capture Yuchi Tiao. If he really wanted to say anything, he could only talk nonsense.
Many generals and officials left one after another, but only Sun Zhou stayed.
Pei Min has been dating him for many years and knows his biggest strengths and weaknesses.
The most commendable thing about myself as an intelligence officer is that I think too much and can analyze many unexpected things from some irrelevant details.
At the same time, his biggest problem is that he likes to think too much. Whenever he can't figure out something, he is like obsessive-compulsive disorder. He can't help thinking about it even when eating and drinking water. He can't eat and can't sleep at night.
If he didn't answer his doubts, he would almost lose sleep for some time in the future.
So, Pei Min said first, "But I am surprised, why can I choose who is the traitor from many people?"
Sun Zhou bowed respectfully and said, "Pei Shuai is asking for advice."
Pei Min thought about it and answered the question malfunctioningly: "This is not easy to explain, just give an example... You should understand the art of chess, right?"
Sun Zhou nodded: "I understand a little bit."
Pei Min stretched out his hand and said, "This war is like playing chess, and soldiers are like chess pieces, and I am the one who plays chess. How to play and move chess pieces are all under my control. There is a problem among the many chess pieces. How can I not know as a chess player?"
"I deliberately chose to transfer all the troops of the Western Regions to the front line when I was about to win, just to give it a try, who among them is slandering against me, the Tang Dynasty."
"These kings and generals who are willing to send troops are all vassal states of our dynasty. As the king of the Western Regions at this moment, I control their power of life and death. How can I not please me? If I give them difficult tasks that cannot be completed, they may not be enthusiastic. But I give them achievements and let them pick up ready-made cheapness. They are not really stupid as pigs, and they do not understand that trying their best to show themselves is the best choice."
"But the King of Khotan, Yuchi Tiao, was reluctant to do his best to face the achievements he had obtained. He just pretended to be the place, thinking that he could pass by perfunctorily. If I couldn't find out, how could I have the right to be the commander of the three armies?"
After mocking this, Pei Min said: "This matter does not prove that Yuchi Tiao is a traitor, but it is 100% certain that he has a problem."
"If there is a problem, it must be cured!"
Pei Minyun said calmly.
Sun Zhou felt very comprehensible, but he felt comfortable in his heart.
Not long after Sun Zhou left, Ge Shuhan came to the tent anxiously and said that he had something urgent to ask for a meeting.
After rushing into the tent, Geshuhan spoke and said, "No, uncle... no, Yuchi Tiao, the king of Khotan, has been rebelling for a long time. They have colluded with Tubo to seek the Rule of Big and Big Bo."
Pei Min's face changed slightly. He had already thought of a battle with Tubo, but he didn't want to come so quickly.
Tubo wolf has ambitions, and is indeed unwilling to defend the foundation of Qinghai Lake and wants to develop.
"Let's go and see Yuchi Tiao."
Pei Min said, walking straight into the tent where Yuchi Tiao was imprisoned.
Pei Min hates the most insulting boys like Yuchi Tiao. Even if he is the King of Khotan, he has no special treatment and is left in a simple tent to take care of his troops.
