Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Military Tent in One Hall IV
"Xie Gaojieshuai! Handsome but needed, Xiao Wang will do his best to support the country. Gao Xianzhi's appeasement made Dou Zhongjie's face hesitate slightly, and after he respectfully expressed his support for Gao Xianzhi, he glanced angrily at the black mountain before sitting down.
"Gao Jieshuai, if the Stone Kingdom is destroyed, I don't know how the Heavenly Khan will reward the Qarlu Department? Last year, the Turgish Khanate was eradicated, and with a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Khan gave us the city of Broken Leaves. "Mou Ra Heishan didn't care about Dou Zhongjie's small actions at all, he was like a bargaining vendor in the market, bent on finding out Gao Xianzhi's bottom line.
Cen Shen looked at the greedy face of the Black Mountain, and finally understood why Feng Changqing had such a low opinion of him. Before the war began, it was despicable to rush to ask for a reward.
"I don't know what reward Moraka Ye Hu wants?" Gao Xianzhi was not annoyed at all, and asked with a smile.
"Gao Jieshuai, Wang Duhu, compared with the Tang Dynasty, Ge Lulu is really a remote and small department, and his appetite is very small, and he does not dare to covet Tuozhi City, the capital of Shiguo, he only hopes to get Julan City and Ashi Bulai City." With a gesture of the black mountain fat hand, the big lama said, it seems that Kulan City and Ashi Burai City have been embraced by him.
Dou Zhongjie and Zhu Xie Gu saw that they were so greedy and insatiable, and their faces were gloomy.
"Just Julan City and Ashi Bulai City, why not give it to Mou Raye Hu!" Gao Xianzhi laughed and said loudly: "Seeking Ye Hu, if the Qarlu tribe can be the first to step into Tuozhi City and help our army repel the Khorasan cavalry of the great cannibals, I will definitely ask the sage to give the two cities to the Qarlu tribe." ”
He didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to agree so quickly, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to respond.
Dou Zhongjie and Gu Duzhi were even more surprised, and the two looked at each other, worried.
"Do you know that according to the news heard by the scouts, Shi Guo has mobilized the whole country, put together an army of more than 40,000 people, and is waiting for it in Tuanzhi City! Do you know that the general of the Great Food Rebel Army, Qi Yad, began to recruit tens of thousands of servants in the Tocharian region two months ago, and his whereabouts are unknown! Did you know that in mid-March, the governor of Khorasan, Abu Abu, was fighting near Baghdad, the great food eater? Muslim has already commanded tens of thousands of elites, turned east, and has returned to Khorasan a few days ago! ”
Gao Xianzhi grew taller and taller, like a lion and tiger's roar, forming a huge contrast with his handsome appearance! The black mountain was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
"Plotting Ye Hu, the deep connection between Shiguo and Da Shi, you must also know it. What is the intention of the saint's expedition to the stone country, I might as well inform you now. Just a stone country, how to work 100,000 troops. The heart of a saint lies in forcing back the big food! Cut off its eastward invasion! Now Abu? Muslim has to return to Khorasan regardless of the internal victory and defeat, which shows that our army will inevitably fight a fierce battle with the Great Food rebels. Although our army is strong, the Great Food Rebels are not a weak brigade, and they must not be taken lightly. Now that the military strategy has not been decided, the Mola Yehu is anxious to be rewarded, could it be that the Qarlu Department is so confident that it can defeat the Great Food rebels in one battle? If this is the case, when facing the Great Food Rebels, a certain must send your department as the vanguard. And if your ministry can defeat Abu? Muslim, Kulan City and Ashbulai City are nothing, and Mulu City can also give them to your department! It's just that you have such a good tooth opening? Gao Xianzhi's voice was stern and reprimanded fiercely.
He was stunned for a long time before he said: "Jie Shuai, you are stupid, what do you say, let Jie Shuai laugh." I'll never mention the bounty or anything else. However, if you are against the Great Food Rebels, you don't have to be ordered by the commander, and you must also ask for orders to be the vanguard! ”
"Oh, I don't know if the Leaf Protector is so heroic?" Gao Xianzhi said lightly sarcastically.
"Jie Shuai, what you say below is the truth, not a lie. I have found out that the defection of the Tukishish slaves was the work of Kudulu, the remnant of the old thief, and that the one who stood behind Kudulu was the Great Cannibal. I hate cannibalism very much, and I always want to get it back on the battlefield. Mou Ra Heishan said with a low brow.
"There's a bit of sincerity in that." Gao Xianzhi sneered and said, "Mou Ra Ye Hu, sit down." Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder who else wants to be rewarded in advance? ”
"When the commander of the army set off, my father Khan repeatedly told him that it was an honor for our country to be able to contribute to the kingdom, and I didn't dare to be greedy for a reward." Prince Ye Hu saw that everyone was suppressed by Gao Xianzhi and didn't dare to speak, so he stood up and said respectfully.
"The heroic Khan is eloquent, and the prince is even more impressive, which is really respectable." Gao Xianzhi pressed his palm lightly and motioned for Ye Hu to sit down.
"Wang Duhu, Gao Jieshuai, our Huangjia and Tian Khan are all from the Li clan in Longxi, how can they send troops because they are greedy for rewards?" Li Kun stood up and said to Wang Zhengjian and Gao Xianzhi.
Cen Shen was surprised after hearing this, and he didn't understand how Li Kun put Wang Zhengjian before Gao Xianzhi in his words.
"Gao Jieshuai, Li Kun is dedicated to the country, but he is called, never shirks, and never asks for anything, which is indeed rare." Seeing that Gao Xianzhi was motioning for him to respond, Wang Zheng stood up and saluted Li Kun back, and said categorically.
"There are a lot of contacts between the Ministry of Huangjia and the Beiting Army, and there is a guarantee from Wang Duhu, how can you not believe it." Gao Xianzhi said with a smile.
When Cen Shen heard this, he realized that the relationship between the various subject countries and tribes and Anxi and Beiting was also different from each other. The Najas were apparently more concerned about the Beiting Protectorate, while the Qarluqs were like servants of the Anxi army.
"Although the Shatuo Department is small, it also understands that the heart of the king must be pure, and he should not be greedy." After Li Kun sat down, Zhu Xie Gu also stood up to express his position. There was also a slight sarcasm in his rhetoric.
"The Heavenly Khan's conquest of the Stone Country and the deterrence of the Great Food are the luck of our country, and I dare to ask for something." Finally, Dou Zhongjie stood up again and said: "However, the Kuzhan City of our country and many pastures on both sides of the Zhenzhu River have been invaded by Shi Guo, if Shi Guo pleads guilty, I also ask Gao Jieshuai and Wang Duhu to be the master of our country and return Kuzhan City to our country." ”
"This little thing has been written down. Your country can first send troops to attack the city of Kuzhan and echo the army from the side. After Shi Guo confesses his sin, Wang Du and I will uphold justice for your country. "Gao Xianzhi's attitude towards Dou Zhongjie is much gentler.
"Xie Gaojie Marshal, Xie Wang Duhu." After Dou Zhongjie got Gao Xianzhi's permission to send troops, he was overjoyed and overjoyed.
"After talking for a long time, all the kings were busy showing their loyalty, but the expedition strategy did not say that they were ugly." Gao Xianzhi saw that everyone had already said it, so he said with a smile.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, it suddenly became extraordinarily quiet. Cen Shen paused, looked up at Gao Xianzhi, who seemed to be talking and laughing casually but majestic, and quickly glanced at the people with serious eyes, understood. The most critical drama of the military discussion is finally here.
"The 10,000 elite soldiers of Hui Hui listened to the orders of Gao Jieshuai and Wang Duhu, and did not dare to talk about military strategy." Prince Ye Hu's words broke the silence in the big tent for a moment.
"Whoever the Gao Jieshuai asks the Qarluq people to beat, we will go up and beat whoever we want, there is no ambiguity!" Mou Ra Heishan also hurriedly said.
"The people of the Gang are all in accordance with the military orders of the king and the marshal of the high festival, and will never disobey!" Li Kun said solemnly.
"Shatuo people listen to the orders of the two marshals." Zhu Xie Gu smiled respectfully.
"The warriors of Ningyuan Kingdom are waiting for the day, and they can send troops to occupy the city at any time. Please give the order! Dou Zhongjie finally expressed his position, and did not forget to mention Ku Zhancheng again.
"Tsk, why did you start to show your loyalty again?" Gao Xianzhi said with a smile, as if he was very dissatisfied with what the subject countries had done.
Cen Shen was also surprised at how the military discussion could really determine the strategy if it went on like this, but he saw Feng Changqing on the opposite side turning his head and beckoning back, explaining something to an Anxi soldier who was serving in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Gao Xianzhi didn't mean to let others interject this time, and continued to follow Fang Cai's words by himself: "However, since the monarchs are so loyal and humble, let a certain person say it first. Before you arrived, Wang Duhu briefly discussed the current military situation, and also had a preliminary idea. ”
Cen saw that everyone in the tent was not surprised, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly understood: the people of each subject country or tribe knew that Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhengjian must have already decided the strategy in advance, so everyone rushed to show their loyalty and did not say anything about how to send troops to fight. Only the Gerlulu Ministry's plot to kill Montenegro was too anxious, and he preemptively mentioned the matter of post-war rewards, wanting to seek greater benefits for the headquarters, but was killed by Gao Xianzhi and shown to the monkey and reprimanded.
Thinking of this, Cen Shen remembered what Feng Changqing said about "people's hearts are unpredictable", and suddenly thought of it: Then the Qarlu Department seems to be in awe of Gao Jieshuai, could it be that the Black Mountain deliberately jumped out and deliberately let Gao Jieshuai reprimand? So that Gao Jieshuai can take the opportunity to deter the army?
Before, Cen Shen's sensitive and straight heart would never have thought of so many twists and turns. But after getting along with Feng Changqing for a long time, he gradually realized his own shortcomings, and under the influence of Feng Changqing, he began to speculate on what he saw and heard from everyone's interests.
Cen Shen was thinking about it when the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was lifted, and four Anxi soldiers, carrying a huge table, walked in.
At first, Cen Shen was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why the tooth soldiers had to come in with the table. When the tooth soldiers walked past Cen Shen's eyes, he saw clearly that what the tooth soldiers were carrying was a huge sand table.
"How can you not know geography when marching and arranging? Gentlemen, let's take a look, can the sand table made by the Anxi Army be eye-catching? After the sand table was settled, Gao Xianzhi stood up, walked to the side of the sand table, and greeted everyone.
Wang Zhengjian, Ashinayang, and the people of the subject countries all stood up and came to the sand table.
Cen Shen was very curious, he had heard of the sand table when he was in Chang'an, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Seeing such a huge sand table for the first time, he couldn't help but want to go over and take a look, but he was worried about delaying the record.
"Cen Zhangshu, go and see how the marshal uses the soldiers." Feng Changqing, who was on the other side, saw through Cen Shen's psychology at a glance, and waved his hand with a smile: "A certain person will record it for you." ”
