Chapter 1143: Hidden Knife
Liu Xinda is now a quick knife in Datang's hands, but at the same time, he is also a demon who has been released. Now, no matter how evil he does, he is still within the sphere of influence of Datang, and there are ways to influence him or restrain him. But he kept heading south, and if he was lucky enough, he might be able to reach his goal of reaching the city of Nanzhao, Champ, or further south.
Liu Xinda is also a tiger. This person has extraordinary military ability, and also has a political sense far higher than that of a general, and his skills are also extraordinary, if such a person gives up control of him, once he is out of control, he may end up looking into what he will look like.
And the places that Liu Xinda wants to go to are also what Li Ze wants in the future. Therefore, the current chess traders do not want to create another opponent for Datang there.
Effective control, then, is a must.
Even if Liu Xin reached the end of the earth, when Tang Jun wanted to clean him up, he would definitely be able to achieve this goal relatively easily. In this regard, the internal guard has made a lot of arrangements.
Now, Tian Bo came over, firstly, to find some way out for these brothers under his command, and on the other hand, to finalize the foundation for this matter.
Liu Xinda's trip to the south, with the full support of Datang, is destined to cause great damage to the Southern Alliances. This is also a link in Datang's grand plan to exhaust the south.
"Brothers, in the past two months, I have been arranging for you to learn the dialects of Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, not to let you take root in Jiangxi and Hunan." Tian Bo said: "But there are other arrangements. ”
"Commander, I don't know what the arrangement is?" The more than ten people present were a little stunned, they originally thought that if the Tang Dynasty was going to recover the south, they would definitely set up camp in these places.
"In Jiangnan and Hunan, we have some other arrangements, where you need to work hard to learn these dialects and customs!" Tian Bo said with a smile: "You will be arranged to enter Liu Xinda's army next and follow him to the south." ”
The atmosphere in the room froze suddenly.
After a while, someone asked: "Great Commander, Liu Xinda is now a rogue, so where is his goal?" ”
"That's a good question!" Tian Bo said: "If everything goes as planned, Liu Xinda's ultimate goal is probably Jiaozhi, Annan, Zhancheng or further south." ”
Once again, there was dead silence in the room.
The people present were basically northerners, and they didn't know where Jiaozhi Annan was before. Later, they knew about it, but in their hearts, those places were all places of smoke and plague, and they were not suitable for human habitation at all.
And they actually want to go to those places.
However, they no longer had a chance to refuse.
Because of refusal, they must be before Tian Bo says the task, and once they say it, they have only one choice.
After a long time, Huo Ran, a guy with a meaty face, stood up, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and pulled away the clothes on his body with a sigh, revealing the scars inside: "Go, what's the big deal, a certain family has not taken any risks over the years, and has not suffered any hardships, isn't it just going south?" Being alive is a reward, and it's nothing when you're dead, and in this life, you've had enough of what you should enjoy and what you shouldn't enjoy. ”
Tian Bo's eyes swept past everyone's eyes, and it wasn't until everyone expressed their attitudes one by one that he said, "Very good, you didn't disappoint me after all." There are no limits to this mission, but you should also understand that the more unrestricted the mission, the more dangerous it is. ”
"There are no restrictions?" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of everyone in the room, and in between, there was joy.
"Yes, there are no restrictions." Tian Bo said: "However, you will not have the same good equipment as before, and danger is everywhere." ”
"Without equipment, we can rob and steal. That's not a problem. "The one who stood up first.
Tian Bo smiled and nodded: "Some of you will be arranged to enter the bandits' den, and next, Liu Xinda will recruit these people into his troops to serve as death squads, cannon fodder, pioneers for his troops, and rob homes and rob money." Others will enter through other channels, but eventually you will all be part of his cannon fodder force. In this process, it is the most dangerous, because these cannon fodder troops have to do all the dirty work and tiring work, and all dangerous tasks are at the forefront, so the probability of death will be very high. ”
Everyone nodded silently.
"And later, some of you will become officers in this cannon fodder unit, some will be selected to enter Liu Xinda's regular army, and of course, many will die in the process." Tian Bodao.
"If you die, you won't die for thousands of years." After listening to this mission, they already understood the hardships involved, and they did not have much fear of death. "Commander, in addition to the fact that this business is not restricted, I want to know, what can we get?"
Tian Bo nodded: "Let me talk about the imperial court's arrangements for you first!" Ladies and gentlemen, by the time you took on this task, you had disappeared from the list of internal guards. ”
The crowd changed color slightly.
"Your family members will receive a notice of your death in the line of duty, and at the same time, your family members will receive the corresponding death benefits, and the other survivors will enjoy three levels above your current position. Han Datou, you are now a captain of Zhenwu, and if you are three levels higher, your family will be able to enjoy the treatment of the bereaved family of General Zhuangwu. Tian Bodao.
Han Datou, the big man who tore his clothes to reveal his scars all over his body, said with a smile: "Okay, this is indeed a life of nine deaths, even if you are alive, you are thousands of miles away from home, and the chance of coming back alive is really not great, just when I die, they will have no thoughts!" ”
"It's my decision to cancel your status as internal guards!" Tian Bo said: "It's for your good, or you won't feel it now, but if you survive and achieve something in the future, you will understand why I decided this way." ”
"Please also ask the Grand Commander to clear up his doubts!" Han Datou arched his hand.
"If you can survive and really arrive at your destination with Liu Xinda, you may be able to fight for a world in those places, with your ability, you only need to live until that time, maybe you will be able to get an important position there in the future, and maybe you can also be a land king." Tian Bo laughed.
Han Datou suddenly came to his senses: "Great Commander, is it that one day, our army will also arrive at that place?" ”
"Of course!" Tian Bo smiled: "One day, our army will arrive there, but I don't know when this day is." What will you do when our armies are there? ”
"If I really become a general there, a soil king or something like that, I will naturally lead my subordinates to surrender to our army!" Han Datou smiled: "Could it be that I still want to die?" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly understood: "Grand Commander, is this the reason for canceling our internal guard status?" ”
"Yes." Tian Bo said: "At that time, you will defect to my Datang as the local ruler, and then continue to rule that place for our Datang." ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, although this trip is difficult, there are also great opportunities waiting for you." Tian Bo pressed the table and said: "Dead, there is nothing to say, I can only blame myself for bad luck." If you live to do what I have just said, then you can enjoy your life to the fullest until our army appears before you. I think you're more interested in this reward! ”
"Of course!" Han Datou said excitedly: "Great Commander, I won't tell you, I'm a cheap kid, I will itch all over my body after a few days of peace, and I won't feel comfortable anywhere." When you say that, I can live the kind of day I like the most, of course excited, happy, and I'm really going to die, that's my bad luck. Besides, we brothers didn't go in alone, as long as we got in, we always had a way to get together, and as long as we got together, the chances of survival would be greatly increased. ”
"Okay, since that's all the talking, then everyone will be okay!" Tian Bo raised the bowl in his hand: "After drinking this bowl of wine, I am going to say goodbye to you, you can get drunk here, and from tomorrow, someone will arrange for you and your subordinates to leave one after another." Hopefully, in a few years, we'll see each other again, and we'll be able to get together for a big drink like we are now! ”
"Thank you, Commander, for your job!" Han Datou took the lead in raising the wine bowl.
Tian Bo drank it all, turned around and went out.
After walking a short distance, I saw Ren Xiaonian.
"Grand Commander!" Ren Xiaonian crossed his hands and saluted.
"Did you hear what I said?" Tian Bo asked with a smile. "What do you think of this arrangement?"
"The Grand Commander was sympathetic and found another way out for them." Ren Xiaonian said with a smile: "To be honest, with these people's style, under the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that they will not live long." Instead of dying under the knife of his own people, it is really better to fight, maybe it is another world. ”
"That's what you really think?" Tian Bo glanced at Ren Xiaonian.
Ren Xiaonian smiled: "Just now, the Grand Commander only talked about the benefits in the future, but there was also a disadvantage that he didn't talk about. ”
"Tell me about it!"
"Because when the time comes, when our army appears before them, perhaps out of the anger of the common people, we will kill some of them to win the trust of the local people." Ren Xiaonian said slowly.
"So, you can have your current status, but they can only keep running on the road!" Tian Bo stopped, "The road is under their feet, but let them go by themselves." If they can really dominate one side in those places, if they, who came out of the Tang Dynasty, still fall into a dead end step by step, then it is no wonder that we are not to blame. ”
Ren Xiaonian bowed silently.
The two walked slowly.
"I heard that in the past two years, you and Jose have not had much contact with each other! In the past, they were all brothers who lived and died together! Tian Bodao.
Ren Xiaonian's face turned slightly pale: "It's a subordinate I'm sorry Brother Jose!" He should ignore me, but I have always regarded him as a good brother in my heart. ”
"The path is all chosen by yourself." Tian Bo said with a smile: "It's all for Datang, and I can't say whether it's right or wrong." You came to the right Qianniuwei, and now you are also a high-ranking general in the Tang Dynasty, and you can be regarded as fulfilling your wish to leave. ”
Ren Xiaonian was silent.
"You Yong is going to the military council." Tian Bo said suddenly.
Ren Xiaonian was stunned, and immediately understood what Tian Bo meant, and his face turned a little pale in an instant. It took a long time before he whispered: "Isn't there always a rumor that General Li Dang is going to Zuo Xiaowei to serve as a general?" ”
Li Kang, now he is the deputy general of the right Qianniuwei, and he is also the general of Li Ze's personal guard battalion, and he is the same way as Li Yu, this rumor, everyone is convinced, and Li Kang is together, and now Li Kang's position is none other than Ren Xiaonian. But Ren Xiaonian, who understood the meaning of Tian Bo's words, was cold in his heart at the moment.
"General You Yong is already preparing to leave his post, and before leaving, he recommended Jose to His Majesty." Tian Bo said: "Li Kang was originally one of the candidates, and Li Kang seems to be more suitable, but when it comes to seniority in the army, Jose is a little stronger, and he has always served in Zuo Xiaowei, from a grassroots officer, all the way up by military merits, this candidate, the military committee has nothing to say." By the time I left, the Personnel Committee, the Intelligence Committee, had already begun the final survey of José, and to be honest, with José's resume, this kind of investigation was just a formality. The next time you see Jose, you can't call him a big one, but salute him. ”
Ren Xiao let out a long breath and nodded. At this moment, his heart is also mixed, I don't know if he will regret it, when he was with Zuo Xiaowei, he was pressing Jose everywhere.
"But Ren Dagou, your ability is also here, and your exploits over the years are also obvious to all." Tian Bo suddenly smiled and said: "Li Dang will be transferred to Zuo Xiaowei as a deputy general, and you will still be promoted to Li Kang's position." ”
"Thank you, Archon!"
"Thank you for what I did!" Tian Bo smiled: "It's just that I just happened to come to Jiangxi this time to deal with official business." Your Majesty wants me to have a good talk with you. Sometimes you can't do it quickly, so you can do things well by calming down! Whether you or Jose, they are all important generals of our young generation of Datang, and the future of Datang is on your shoulders! You have always pressed a stone in your heart, and Your Majesty asked me to tell you that there were some things back then that would definitely make people have an opinion about you. And what you have to do is how to try to make people forget about the unpleasant things. You must pay more than others. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ren Xiaonian choked up and bowed deeply in the direction of Chang'an.
