Chapter 163: Idea
Bazaduo City is an important border town in the Zhangxiong region, the population is not large, the military and civilians together are only 30,000 or 50,000, that is relative to Middle Earth, in this vicinity, it is already a large city.
After the Tang army broke the city, the Tibetan defenders fled from the city only a few hundred people, and the pursuit of the cavalry reduced this number by more than half, and the rest were only scattered and routed, which was not worth fighting.
Seizing its city and plundering its mouth was what the Tubo people often did to the Tang people when they were in their heyday, but now the Tang people will not do that, because they are not short of population, and they are registered in the fields, just to add luster to the face of the Son of Heaven when they sacrifice prisoners in the future.
This kind of thing, the secretary of the army has to deal with it, and it is not the turn of Feng Changqing, the commander, to worry about it, and wait until the result is out, and then send it to his desk to look at it, and it is roughly the same, and it is sent out in the good news, and this credit is solid.
Of course, it is the proper duty to check the military merits, to go through the marquis in the army, and to review it again by the envoy who accompanied the army.
It's just that Li Jingzhong came to look for him, but not for this matter.
His identity is special, and his appearance is very distinctive, and the Jiedu tooth soldiers can't stop him like a person in the army, so he can only report it first, after all, the other party represents the Son of Heaven.
Even Feng Changqing himself had to put down the affairs in his hand and greet him in person.
"The envoy is here, I don't know what to say." To be polite, he didn't have time to go around the bend with the other party, and asked straight to the point.
"Zhongcheng." Li Jingzhong didn't hold it up, first arched his hand and called his official title.
This is a very natural reaction, the other party has now made real achievements, and the future is limitless.
"This city, the road ahead is the road, Zhongcheng with all the way to the teacher, straight into the hinterland of the Tubo people, invincible, invincible, gratifying."
Feng Changqing didn't see much meaning on that ugly face, it was obviously sarcastic, but he said it solemnly, why is this?
"A certain family has a meager army, all the way over, there are many injuries, and now it is too far away from this town, and it is difficult to provide backup, food and grass, I am afraid that it will not be able to go forward as the envoy said."
"Why should Zhongcheng be humble, how many casualties there are in these battles, our family is not unclear, and it is not to mention the wounds and bones, as for the grain and grass, when you marched into Xiangxiong, didn't you have the idea of fighting the enemy? Otherwise, why did you seal the treasury as soon as you entered the city, and the money you got was not a few? ”
It turned out that he was waiting here, Feng Changqing thought he understood his thoughts, and couldn't help but lower his voice.
"It's still counting, rest assured, your share will never be less."
Unexpectedly, Li Jingzhong waved his hand again and again: "Although our family has been poor since childhood, we have to enter the palace as a last resort, we still have some knowledge, how to deal with it, you are the master, there is no other word." ”
"What does the envoy mean?"
"The road ahead is unpredictable, the closer we get to the capital of the Tubo people, the more dangerous we are, Zhongcheng will not think that our family is alarmist and shake the morale of the army."
Feng Changqing twisted his chin and clear his beard, and was silent for a while, this was not easy to answer, he was afraid of some trap behind him.
These eunuchs, born with a different brain circuit, can go straight to heaven, what they say today, it is very likely, tomorrow will be placed on the desk of the Son of Heaven, how can they easily speak.
"If the envoy has anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly."
Li Jingzhong didn't care about his concerns, he still had that incomprehensible expression: "Now, it's time to think about how to end the battle, the Tubo people are so weak, it may not be that they are secretly gathering troops and horses, just waiting for us to go deep and annihilate them unexpectedly." ”
The more Feng Changqing listened, the more weird he became, if the person who spoke was a general under him, it would be normal, after all, this was a military affair, and it could be said from the mouth of a eunuch, there was always a sense of weirdness.
He couldn't help but answer, and he asked tentatively, "What about the envoy?" ”
"This city is in hand, and I heard that Nepal has been in chaos, this is a godsend, and you can't let it go."
Speaking of which, there is nothing to see clearly, of course, the other party is not urging him to continue to march, but taking advantage of this to negotiate with the Tubo people!
To say that people are not right?
Feng Changqing doesn't think so, the battle has come to this point, the actual situation has been laid out on the surface, less than 10,000 soldiers, about 5,000 servants, and more than 30,000 horses, people eat horses and chew, every day is a lot of money, such a large number, such a long distance, relying on Changxingfang, all the way from Qiuci?
He himself came from a logistics background, and of course understood that it was simply impossible.
In fact, the reason why the city of Bazar was more or less forced by logistical pressure, Da Bolu was almost burned to the ground, and there was not much food collected from those scattered villages, so the city of the Tubo people became an attractive fragrant bait.
Fortunately, the result was good, and the Tubo people had accumulated a lot of grain and grass here for the war, which made him somewhat relieved.
It's just a sigh of relief, because no matter how much grain and grass you have, there will always be a day when you run out, and when the time comes, you will either go back or move on, hoping to get more.
At least one thing the other party said is right, the road ahead is unpredictable!
Using the form of negotiation to consolidate the fruits of victory, it is not without consideration, this master, he also did it, the handsome and handsome, there is a layer of meaning in it, but how to talk about it, what result is good? He had no idea.
"Can the envoy teach me?" Since he had no idea, and the other party took the initiative to come to the door again, he might as well listen to it, Feng Changqing made a gesture of listening.
"I can't talk about seeing and teaching, but I have some superficial opinions, and I want to meet with Zhongcheng."
Li Jingzhong lowered his voice, and he frowned secretly in a duck-like voice, but it couldn't compare to the content of his words.
"I heard that in the first battle of Bolu, we captured a high-ranking official of the Tubo people, and we can talk to them Zampu, but I don't know, yes or no?"
So that's the case, only a few people know Shang Jiezan's identity, but with Li Jingzhong's status, if he wants to find out something in this army, who dares to disobey? Whether it is with the army or the supervising army, they all have one meaning, watching for the Son of Heaven.
Can the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven hide it?
"Does the envoy want to negotiate terms with the Tubo people through him?"
"However, since this person is valued by Zampu, what he says must have a certain weight, if Zhongcheng does not give up, this matter is on our family, and it must be done properly."
Feng Changqing didn't want to agree, but after thinking about it, it would be good to let this person contact him first, and if he didn't come forward, it wouldn't be a success, so he nodded slightly, which was considered to be his idea.
