Chapter 1269: Dang Xiang Qiang's Guest
1269. Guest of Dang Xiang Qiang
The soldiers of the Tang Army continued to clean up the battlefield, Su Dingfang followed Li Jing to a remote place on the side, Li Jing took off his helmet, found a stone and sat down with a sword, and his wrinkled face also showed a little tiredness.
Seeing that Su Dingfang was standing solemnly, Li Jing also waved his hand and said, "Dingfang sit down and talk."
took off his helmet, sat on the ground without dignity, and called Su Lie's cousin, which shows that it is now a matter of selfishness, and when he was on business, he called Su Lie General Su.
Seeing this, Su Dingfang also sat down, and took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained some dried meat, "Eat some of the teacher", Su Dingfang is very respectful of Li Jing, the teacher who taught the industry, after all, he is not a white-eyed wolf like Hou Junji.
Li Jing smiled when he saw this, took the dried meat and ate it with a smile: "You are clever, and you still carry food with you."
Su Dingfang also smiled, "I learned this from the Shence Army, His Highness said that there are many accidents in the march and battle, everyone must carry this last guarantee, and there is no need to bring more, it is enough for a day or two without starvation, so that it will not panic in the case of loss of grain and grass."
Li Jing's mouth stopped when he heard this, and his face also had a thoughtful expression, and he nodded slightly: "It does make sense", and then sighed: "Although His Royal Highness is only the age of a weak crown, he doesn't know how many furrows there are in his chest."
After saying that, his face was solemn, and he looked at Su Dingfang and asked: "As early as before the war, when Shanzhou was assembled, the division said that you should not make more killings, capture the king as much as possible, and capture its soldiers, why did we see you unscrupulously killing, and even a famous king has shown his intention to surrender, you also killed him, if you don't tell the reason, even if you are a disciple, you will be involved in military law."
After all, Li Jing has been in charge for many years, and the deterrence on his body is not small, and he is also a teacher, and he was reprimanded by Li Jing like this, Su Dingfang was also panicked, and hurriedly got up and stood up straight and replied: "The teacher is angry, and listen to the apprentice's explanation."
Seeing Su Dingfang's attitude, a little relief flashed in Li Jing's eyes, it was really for a reason, and he also respected himself, if he left Hou Junji, the rebel, and was scolded like this, he would definitely be crossbrowed.
Li Jing glanced at him like this, and Su Dingfang also said bluntly: "This is on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, to kill all the high-level Tuyuhun as much as possible, and to kill Tuyuhun as much as possible, so that he will be frightened."
"Nonsense" Li Jing trembled when he heard it, "Tuyuhun is my vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and his people are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the people are not obedient, so if you punish them a little, how can you kill them on a large scale."
For example, when the North destroyed the Eastern Turks, he secretly instructed the soldiers to plunder the grassland, burn their pastures, and kill their cows and sheep, which can be said to have caused a great harm to the grassland.
As for Tuyuhun, not only Li Jing, it is estimated that all the officials of the imperial court do not support wanton killing, and one of the very important reasons for this is that Tuyuhun is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty for generations, and its land and people belong to the Tang Dynasty in legal terms.
However, the Eastern Turks were other countries that were serious and hostile to the Tang Dynasty, not only did they not pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they also forced Li Zhen to sign a brotherly alliance with them.
It's like Tuyuhun is a godson of his own family, although he is a little naughty and blows up thorns from time to time, but after all, he is a legally recognized son, although he can be beaten, for the sake of usual worship and tribute, he can't be ruthless, and the Eastern Turk is a complete outsider, and he is still an outsider who has no friendly relationship at all, of course he can be ruthless.
Hearing Li Jing say this, Su Dingfang also frowned slightly, and replied directly: "Teacher, as the saying goes, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the disciple thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never suffer in the future."
As he spoke, he tore off the cuffs, and there was a letter in the mezzanine, which had been soaked in blood a little, "This is handed over to you after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to learn from you when I came, and the prince once said that he hoped that you would use the means to deal with the Eastern Turks to deal with Tuyuhun, because if Tuyuhun is strong, it will be the trouble of the Tang Dynasty and the ...... of Tubo Vegetables, this is the original words of His Royal Highness the Prince, he said that if you don't cripple Tuyuhun, if he is still as strong as ever, sooner or later it will become a dish of Tubo."
Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, the trouble of the Tang Dynasty, the dishes of Tubo? The style of these words is indeed what the prince said, the dishes of Tibet? Does it mean that Tubo will eat Tuyuhun?
Li Jing is not an ordinary person, he is a marshal who coordinates the overall situation, and he is also a strategist with outstanding vision, and it can be seen from his destruction of the Eastern Turkic steppe that Li Jing fought not only for the immediate victory, but also for the future situation.
As soon as he thought of Tibet, Li Jing's mind was raised, the strength of Tibet is not blown, the divided Tibet is already the hegemon of the southwest, Nanzhao Gaochang and other countries dare not compete with it, and now the unified Tubo will undoubtedly be stronger, and it is said that the Tubo lord is young and promising...... In the future, if the powerful Tuyuhun is annexed again, it will be a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and it will be better than the Turks.
Li Jing did not doubt that Tubo had the ability to annex Tuyuhun, because the two countries were too close to each other, and the Tang Dynasty was beyond the reach of the whip, and Tuyuhun had absolutely no strength to resist Tubo.
Thinking of this, Li Jing hurriedly took the letter, opened it and read it, his face was also solemn, and he squinted and muttered: "Do you want to turn Tuyuhun into a no-man's land?" ”
No Man's Land...... Su Dingfang shuddered, although he wanted to beat Tuyuhun for fear of pain, but there was no need for this, so he had to ask tentatively: "Teacher, what does Your Highness mean?" ”
Li Jing threw the letter to him, "Your Highness wants Tuyuhun to become a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty's Tubo, or a springboard for the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo, it's just ...... How to avoid becoming a springboard for Tubo to invade the Tang Dynasty needs to be discussed."
After a long time, Su Dingfang also scratched his head and said: "Don't think so much about it now, first destroy Tuguhun, capture and kill Fu Yun and then discuss it, for the time being, according to His Highness's wishes, kill its high-level as much as possible, and destroy its cattle, sheep, pasture and other resources."
Li Jing was thinking about it, and when he heard the words, he nodded carelessly, and then his face was straight, he glanced at Su Dingfang deeply, grabbed his helmet, got up and left, just took two steps and was a meal, "I advise you for the teacher, always remember your position and identity, and understand who you should listen to",
After saying such a sentence without a beginning or an end, Li Jing put on his helmet, straightened his waist and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
Su Dingfang, who was in place, was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he lowered his head and lifted his cuffs, looking at the dark brown peculiar sign on his wrist, Chinese characters are not like Chinese characters, and Sanskrit is not like Sanskrit...... muttered: "As soon as you enter the Shence Army, you will ...... the Shence Army for life", and the moment when the party leader took the oath appeared in the mountain villa again.
Hundreds of miles southwest from here, in the ravines and Gobi, an army is marching by express, and the fluttering Daxu unabashedly tells everyone who sees him his identity, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty - the Shence Army.
"General, there will be a party Xiangqiang about a hundred miles ahead, do you think you have to send someone to inform you first?" Zhang Wenjun endured his exhaustion, and slapped his horse to catch up with Li Pojun and suggested.
Then he was afraid that Li Pojun would not agree, so he persuaded again: "We are here to reconcile and alleviate the contradictions between the two sides.
Li Pojun also nodded when he heard this: "That's the truth, Gongda, as a messenger, you lead a hundred horsemen to inform, hand over a sticker, and return immediately if there is danger."
Zhai Changsun is a veteran in the army, the former Western Qin domestic history (Sui official name, that is, the prime minister, the Tang Dynasty changed the internal history of the province to Zhongshu Province, changed the internal history to the Zhongshu order), in this northwest land is still quite famous, Tuoba Chici also lived in the northwest grassland Gobi for decades, should have heard of Zhai Changsun's reputation, Zhai Changsun sent an envoy to submit a paste, and it was not a loss of face.
Zhai Changsun was ordered to go, and Zhang Wenqian nodded when he saw that Li Pojun sent Zhai Changsun to go, and he also felt that Zhai Changsun was the best candidate.
After Zhai Changsun left, Li Pojun ordered the Shence army to rest in place.
A hundred miles away, Tuoba Chici was entertaining a guest who surprised him, with a respectful attitude and even humility, because he had offended the Tang Dynasty now, and he really couldn't afford to offend this big man, after all, he was really a little humble between the two, and either party could destroy him with one hand.
When he was entertaining, suddenly, the guards came to report that a Tang general came to meet the leader, saying that he was ordered by the prince of Tang State.
The guards said, and before Tuoba Chi could be surprised, his generals roared with righteous indignation.
"Tang Dog still dares to come, I must kill them ......."
"This group of Tang dogs has no faith, the front foot is friendly to us, and in the blink of an eye, they will come to rob our cattle and sheep, chief, you must kill them, you can't trust them anymore......."
The party generals in the tent were all beating their chests with angry faces.
And the thin man sitting on the upper seat had his eyes lit up when he saw this, and he was playing with the orb hanging from his felt hat in his hand, and he looked thoughtful.
After a long time, after the generals calmed down their anger for a while, the corners of the man's mouth twitched, revealing a sly smile, "Tuoba leader, this king has something to say to you, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Although Tuoba Chici was extremely respectful to him, this man was also extremely smart, knowing that Tuoba Chici had a strong sense of self-esteem, and he did not be arrogant to Tuoba Chici because of his lofty status.
Sure enough, Tuoba Chici was a person with strong self-esteem, Fan Xing and the others went back on their word and robbed his cattle and sheep and slapped him in the face, he was furious, and broke with Datang without hesitation, to put it bluntly, this guy is a person with a good face.
