Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it!

Outside the city of Jincheng, the army of Tibet gathered little by little, the camp of 60,000 troops, stretched for ten miles, and the flags stood in a forest, like a long dragon surrounded the three gates of the north, south and east of Jincheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They used the tactics of encircling three queyi, and they had the momentum to swallow Jincheng in one bite.

But as the days passed, the Tibetan army did not move, and the 60,000 army seemed to be looking at Jincheng affectionately.

Pei Min looked at the Tubo military camp that could not be seen at a glance, and began to reduce the number and number of patrols by soldiers.

He saw the intention of Tubo, who was preparing siege equipment and planned to eat Jincheng in one go. Either they will not fight, and if they attack, they will not stop day and night.

There were enough soldiers in Tibet to rest and rotate, but they were not treated so well. Pei Min only has 6,000 soldiers in his hands, and the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest must also be guarded by soldiers. Subtracting the five hundred soldiers who were indispensable for the four gates, he really had only four thousand at his disposal. It would be fine if Tubo attacked only one gate, but if he attacked all three, his troops would be even more stretched, and it would be difficult for the soldiers to close their eyes at that time.

Now we can only take advantage of the fact that there is no attack yet, and give the soldiers as much rest time as possible, so that they can maintain their peak condition for the upcoming fierce battle.

"Deputy Envoy Pei!" Lu Yu held two wooden boxes in his hands and strode up. Pei Min is now the assassin of Zhilanzhou, the deputy envoy of Longyou defense, at the beginning of the war, the deputy envoy of Longyou defense has the right of life and death, and the power is far better than that of the assassin history, and he is commensurate with the deputy envoy.

"Geranium! The merchant from Ilidou gave it to you, but it's a good thing! Light one and sleep soundly at night. These days, the Tubo army is pressing, and it is just right to use it to suppress the shock. He shook the wooden box in his hand and handed it to Pei Min.

If there is a bargain, Pei Min took it and said: "I have smelled sandalwood and dragon birthday incense, but I don't know how this Tianzhu incense is?" "In this era, rich and noble families have the habit of incense, which can calm the mind and soothe the body and mind, which is of great benefit to the body.

Pei Min also often uses it in Chang'an, not to relieve emotions, but to avoid insects. The ancient mosquito pest is far better than the modern one, and sandalwood is purely used as a mosquito coil. As for the dragon birthday incense, it was in the palace, and it was smelled in Princess Taiping's luan.

Lu Yu said: "It is not comparable to the dragon fragrance at all, but it is stronger than the sandalwood fragrance and has a special smell." However, the price is much cheaper than dragon incense, and it is a little more expensive than sandalwood. But the effect is much better. The price is fair, and it is a hot commodity in Chang'an. No, there are more than a dozen cars of geranium. When I returned the supplies, Iricus gave me a few boxes. ”

Pei Min smiled: "Okay, try it at night, if it has any effect." I took the risk of selling incense all the way and got back to my roots! ”

Lu Yu said: "It should be possible, what about these businessmen, which time did they go back and forth along the Silk Road, and they didn't make a lot of money?" I really don't believe they're going to make a loss-making deal. He didn't know the details, but he had seen a lot of merchants who traveled to and from the Silk Road, and he knew a lot about their business methods.

Pei Min didn't think much about it.

**********

A golden eagle landed in a grassy courtyard, and a pair of large, rough hands carefully grabbed it and delicately untied a silk scroll from the golden eagle's feet.

The owner of the big hand, with a beard and eyes like brass bells, was a big man with thick limbs, and he gently unfolded the silk scroll and walked into the inner courtyard with a solemn expression.

Illicus looked at the visitor with a miserable face, and regretted it in his heart: he was a businessman on the verge of bankruptcy, with a lot of debts and thoughts of suicide. Before committing suicide, he had to be instructed by a master, sold everything: houses and shops, and embarked on the legendary Silk Road with a mortal heart.

The Silk Road is a dangerous place for adventurers. In fact, it is not as exaggerated as the legend suggests. The Silk Road was one of the important sources of the Tang economy, and the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to public security on the Silk Road, and the Tang army guarding the Western Regions was guarded by soldiers in various fortresses. Although the existence of horse thieves and bandits could not be avoided, it stifled their development.

Illicus was lucky that his first trip along the Silk Road reached the legendary Celestial Empire of Chang'an. With Tianzhu's specialty, he exchanged for a large amount of silk and porcelain. In this one round-trip, he paid off all his debts and redeemed the deed to his shop.

After several years of development, he is already one of the few wealthy businessmen in Tianzhu. As he grew older, he had no intention of taking the Silk Road again. But a few months ago, he was approached by the King of Tianzhu Shengri, to be precise, by the envoy of Tibet, King Tuo Shengri, hoping to seize Jincheng with the help of his power.

Tianzhu has always been divided and chaotic, and no prince has vast power. As the overlord of the southwest, Tianzhu has always relied on the snort of Tubo to survive. Irisdou did not dare to disobey, but was even more moved by the benefits promised by the Tibetan envoy, and agreed to take the last trip. The hundred guards in Yi Dou's hands were ostensibly mercenaries, but they were actually capable people recruited by Tubo over the years, specially prepared for the capture of Jincheng.

When they came, they had already made an agreement, and the Tibetan side deliberately used the tactics of encircling three queyi.

Wai Sanque Yi is from "The Art of War", which is one of the eight principles of using soldiers to fight war. "The Art of War" was transmitted to the Tang Dynasty, and everyone knew it, and no one knew it. They were sure that the defenders of Jincheng would know the reason, so they relaxed their defense against that block. And they were able to take advantage of this point and take the city gates together. As long as the city gate falls, why should Jincheng stop the Tibetan army? At that time, all the wealth of Jincheng belonged to Tibet.

is also because of this plan, at that time, Pei Min borrowed someone from Yi Li Dou, and where did Yi Li Dou dare to borrow.

However, the price of not borrowing is that the caravan is detained, and Yi Li Dou didn't care about the dozen or so carts of spices when he came to Datang this time, but Pei Min and Lu Yu have done it to this point, and if he doesn't let go of borrowing people, he can't say anything about it. Holding on to it will only arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble. Yi Li Dou could only compromise with Pei Min with a face of regret and gave the "mercenary" to Pei Min as a thug.

This whole plan was completely disrupted, Iricus was a businessman, he had no idea in military affairs, he was at a loss, and his heart was full of ideas. Thinking about his wife and children, I really regret that I should inherit it.

The cheeky man glanced at Yi Li Dou with a little disdain, and said, "What are you afraid of, what big can you do with your guts?" General Kilixu has sent a letter asking us to keep our plans unchanged. However, just in case, he will launch an offensive against the east gate of Jincheng three days later. When the Jincheng soldiers are tired and the soldiers are seriously attritional, let us move again. Help him take the city, and you can stay in peace, but don't show your feet. ”
