Chapter 263: Exploiting Each Other
Li Zhen embarked on the road to Huangjias, and this also announced that the performance of cicadas, praying mantis and yellow finches finally came to an end, and it was precisely because Li Zhen knew that Luancang had an irresistible temptation for the Khitans, so that Jeruzara willingly "threw himself into the net".
Naturally, with Jeruzara's scheming, how could he not perceive that this was a trap set for himself by all kinds of calculations, but even so, for Jeruzara, this alliance was also just a chess game set by himself, which was a chess game, and everything in it was a chess piece in his hand, but the chess piece of the Xi clan happened to be abandoned.
In other words, as long as there are enough interests, everything can be abandoned, and in the same way, for the sake of interests, even if you become someone else's pawn, what can you do?
......
Li Zhen's eyebrows seem to have never stretched since he left Chang'an, and every time he gets rid of a predicament, there will be a second predicament waiting for him, and he can't escape it.
Just like now, for Li Zhen, although he successfully got rid of the siege of the Khitans and arrived in Huangjiasi, he always had a question in his heart, a question that he had to solve as soon as possible.
What did Jeruzarat want to do when he went to Murowe at this time?
Obviously, for the alliance of the four clans, as the de facto ruler of the Khitan military, the most important place to be at this time is in the military camp of the coalition army, not here.
"Zeyuan, what are we going to do next?" Yan Heng, who had just caught up, asked excitedly, for him who had just entered the barracks, although he had already experienced life and death, the novelty and excitement brought by the war were far greater than its cruelty and blood.
Gao Biao was always deeply trapped in the depression of losing his weapon, so much so that he didn't notice the solemnity on Li Zhen's face at all.
After thinking about it, Li Zhen looked up at the sky and said slowly, "I'm wondering what Jeruzara did when he went to Murowei!" ”
"In the current situation, what else can they do, naturally withdraw their troops!" Yan Heng immediately smiled.
Yan Heng's words sound true, the participation of the Huang Jiasi made the original stalemate situation quickly develop in the direction of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the fact that the Khitans had just brazenly captured Luancang, an ally of the Xi people, the already not very solid alliance of the four tribes is about to completely collapse, and the counteroffensive of the Tang Dynasty is coming.
"If the troops are withdrawn, then the withdrawal of this army will be too easy! And the day before yesterday, Jeruzara attacked in front of Luancang without any hesitation, although Luancang is very important to the Khitans, but after all, the four tribes are allied, unless ......"
"Unless what?" Yan Heng saw that Li Zhen paused, and hurriedly asked.
I saw Li Zhen's brows furrowed more and more deeply, and he said quietly: "Unless Jeruzara doesn't care about this ally at all, or even cares about the outcome of this war!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Yu on the side was also stunned, and said in surprise: "I don't care about the outcome of the game, could it be that he has other intentions?" ”
"Yes, there is another attempt!" Li Zhen replied categorically.
"That'...... So what exactly does he want to do? Yan Heng asked puzzled.
"I don't know!" Li Zhen shook his head, his expression a little gloomy, because he couldn't think of any other reason for Jeruzara to risk losing his troops and invading the Tang Dynasty.
In the dark, Li Zhen seemed to feel that Luancang had become a great gift to Jeruzara, on the surface he seemed to be the yellow finch who had the last laugh, but after thinking about it, he became a chess piece in the hands of Jeruzara.
It seems that everything that happened from beginning to end was just a chess game played by Jeruzarab, and it seemed that he had already expected the counterattack of the Tang Dynasty and the defeat of the coalition army.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen's heart suddenly filled with deep uneasiness, because he found that he had no idea the purpose of Jeruzara, because this inexplicable war was a conspiracy at all.
"Maybe ......" After a long time, Li Zhen said slowly: "The people of the Gang have been holding their troops still, it seems that we should go and meet Pei Luo Khan again!" ”
"See Pero? We're not going back? Yan Heng asked hurriedly.
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Go back, but not now!" ”
......
I remember that Pei Luo Khan once said that if the Tang army does not move, I will not move, and now the Tang army has broken through Tan and Jizhou, but Pei Luo still seems to have no intention of moving troops, just like a few days ago, one with his left minister is on the bank of the Gonglu water, and the other is on the bank of the Wangjian water, but he still trains the soldiers and horses every day, and allows the spies of Muwei to go and return again and again in the periphery.
No one knew what Perro was for, not even his left minister.
"Qi Qi Great Khan, Tang Li Zhen asks to see!" Early in the morning, the sound of the guards outside the account pulled Pei Luo up from the couch.
"Hehe, this little baby is finally here!"
Pei Luo slept with Jia, got up and tidied up his skirt and armor a little, and then said softly: "Let him in!" ”
Leaning less, the curtain was lifted from the outside, and a familiar smiling face appeared in Pei Luo's sight.
"The foreign minister visited the Great Khan and disturbed the Great Khan's dream, and he was really ashamed!" Li Zhen had the same smile on his face as always.
"Hehe, I can't see that General Li has a lot of relationship with the Khitans, and he actually gave away Nuoda Luancang!" Pei Luo smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Li Zhen to take a seat.
"Great Khan Mingjian, it is really a helpless move of the foreign minister, if I don't give him some big gifts, I guess he won't let me out, save my life, save my life!" Li Zhen laughed.
"Hahaha, I heard that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of death, why is General Li so desperate? Aren't you afraid of ruining the prestige of the Tang Dynasty soldiers? Aren't you afraid that the Tang Dynasty will send down the wrath of thunder? Pei Luo also laughed, but there was no blame in his tone.
"Hehe, the life of the foreign minister is naturally not to worry about, but there are thousands of brothers behind him, and the foreign minister promised them before leaving the customs that he would take them back!" Li Zhen smiled, but his expression gradually became a little solemn.
After hearing this, Pei Luo nodded lightly and said: "Well, as a general, you love soldiers like brothers and sons, and it is not easy for you to have this understanding at a young age, but Ben Khan believes your serious nonsense!" ”
"Now, you can ask!" Pei Luo then laughed.
"I wonder what the Great Khan wants the ministers to ask?" Li Zhen pretended to be surprised, and looked confused.
"What? Could it be that Ben Khan guessed wrong? It's okay, Ben Khan will send you food and grass later, so you can go back! Pero twisted his beard lightly and laughed loudly.
Seeing this, Li Zhen smiled and said, "The Great Khan is slow, and the foreign minister suddenly remembered that there are indeed some things that need the advice of the Great Khan!" ”
"Hahaha! If you pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of Ben Khan, Ben Khan will send you to the Khitans! After saying that, Pei Luo changed his words and said with a smile: "Before you ask, Ben Khan will show you something first!" ”
