Chapter 589: Greedy Heart
In February of the ninth year of Tianbao (750 AD), the turmoil in Beiting had not completely subsided, but the news of Gao Xianzhi's victory came from Anxi. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Gao Xianzhi has led his troops from Anxi since November last year, although it is difficult to march due to many reasons such as severe cold weather and rugged roads, but it has been very smooth. On the ninth day of the second lunar month, Gao Xianzhi defeated the Jieshi army and captured the Jieshi Wang Botebu.
After Gao Xianzhi won, he immediately sent 800 li to report to the imperial court urgently, but he did not lead the troops to withdraw, but led the troops to be stationed in the territory of Jieshi State, waiting for the imperial court's edict.
The country is just a small country, the name of this small country is also the name of this city, this is the only big city in the country, in addition to the city of the army, there are more than a dozen small towns, the population is not large, but the soldiers of this small country are very brave, so the number of troops is only a few thousand, but the combat power is not bad, which is why Tocharian Ye Huheng Jialuo asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to attack the country. Although Tocharo's territory was large, it was in a state of fragmentation, and Henggara had no choice but to ask the Tang Dynasty to send troops in the face of the plundering of the Jieshi Kingdom.
Jieshi country is a small country, but because of the army and soldiers, the combat power is extraordinary, so it often robs the surrounding small countries, it is often robbed, and it is very rich, especially in the treasure house of the king of Jieshi, gold, silver, jewelry and jade are piled up.
Exhaust the country, the city, the palace.
On the top of the main hall, Gao Xianzhi, dressed in military uniform, sat on the main seat, and sat next to the prison army Bian Lingcheng, these two have become old partners, every time Anxi has fought foreign wars in recent years, Gao Xianzhi is the boss, and Bian Lingcheng is undoubtedly the prison army, and the cooperation between the two is quite tacit.
At this time, there was a group of women singing and dancing in the main hall, in addition to Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, there were also many generals under Gao Xianzhi, Sujia, the brother of the former king of the Exhaustion Kingdom, and the officials who surrendered.
Gao Xianzhi and the generals drank wine and ate meat, while enjoying the song and dance, so comfortable and happy, some of the generals drank a little too much, and when they saw the beautiful women dancing in front of them, they couldn't help but drop the wine glass and get up to keep one and drag it back to the table to have fun, and the other generals saw this, they all had the same example, Gao Xianzhi laughed when he saw it, but he didn't stop it, Bian Lingcheng as a supervisor, he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing, and a general also brought back a woman who was a teacher to him, and accompanied him to drink and have fun, Bian Lingcheng was also very happy"Laughing", Sujia and the officials who surrendered to the state of exhaustion all endured the humiliation of defeat one by one, and they also accompanied Gao Xianzhi and others to drink and have fun here, this is the posture of the victors in front of the vanquished.
Halfway through the banquet, Sujia couldn't stay any longer, he got up and bowed to Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, his posture was very low, and he saluted: "General Gao, General Bian, Sujia is really too strong to drink, he is already dizzy, in order not to lose face in front of the two adults and the generals, Sujia wants to go back and rest first, if the two adults have any orders, they can be summoned at any time, I don't know if it is possible!" ”
Gao Xianzhi turned his head and glanced at Bian Lingcheng when he heard this, Bian Lingcheng didn't say anything about it, so he said to Su Jia: "Since Brother Su Jia is unwell, it is not good for General Ben to force you to stay again, you can go back and rest, and General Ben and Lord Bian will send someone to call you if there is something!" ”
Sujia hurriedly said: "Thank you for the general's understanding, Sujia farewell!" ”
After Sujia left, the surrendering officials of the Exhaustion Kingdom successively left under various excuses, and Gao Xianzhi also thought that these people would be annoying to stay here, so he did not stop them and allowed them to leave.
The generals of the Tang Army also became more presumptuous because of the departure of Sujia and the surrender officials of the Exhaustion Division, those people were present before, and the generals of the Tang Army were still a little unable to let go, and now as soon as these people left, the generals and colonies of the Tang Army did indecent things to the singers, and it didn't take long for the women who were still singing and dancing in the hall just now to be divided up by the Tang Army Generals, and all of them were taken away to find a secluded place and have fun in time.
Only Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng and a group of musicians were left in the entire hall, and the musicians stopped when they saw that the singers were all taken away, and they had no one to play.
Bian Lingcheng couldn't hear the music, turned his head and frowned and waved to the musicians: "Okay, you all go down!" ”
As if they had been pardoned, the musicians picked up their instruments and left.
Gao Xianzhi picked up the wine glass and said to Bian Lingcheng: "Lord Bian, there is no one else today, just the two of us, Gao and Lord Bian have cooperated happily over the years, every time there is no support from Lord Bian, Gao would not have achieved today's results, today Gao will respect Lord Bian with a glass, and please say a few words in front of Your Majesty in the future!" ”
Bian Lingcheng listened to Gao Xianzhi's compliment, his heart was very Gao Xian, his face was revealed, and he laughed and said: "Hahaha・・・・・・ General Gao is serious, the miscellaneous family actually admires General Gao's talent, you and I are a partner, naturally invincible!" The saint also attaches great importance to General Gao, even if the miscellaneous family does not speak well for the general in front of the saint, the saint is also very fond of the general, and the miscellaneous family respects the general, please! ”
"Please!" Gao Xianzhi took the wine glass and drank it all.
The two drank several glasses with each other, Gao Xianzhi was happy because of the victory, every cup was dry, and he was also a little drunk, while Bian Lingcheng just tasted it lightly and was very sober.
At this time, one of Gao Xianzhi's cronies, the lieutenant, pressed his sword and walked to the middle of the hall and saluted Gao Xianzhi: "General, there is something to report for your humble position!" ”
Gao Xianzhi felt that he had drunk too much, and he was a little dizzy, and waved his hand: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"This ・・・・・・・ this matter should be reported to the general separately!" The lieutenant said with some hesitation.
Gao Xianzhi turned his head and glanced at Bian Lingcheng when he heard this, and saw Bian Lingcheng looking over here, he didn't want Bian Lingcheng to think that he was defensive of him, so he shouted to the captain: "Lord Bian is not an outsider, what are the military secrets that Lord Bian can't listen to?" Go ahead! ”
Seeing Gao Xianzhi say this, the captain didn't hide it anymore, and said directly: "No! The humble duty was ordered to lead the troops to patrol the city, but found that after the city was captured by us, there was still a place that was heavily guarded, and there was no equipment to surrender or escape, the humble duty immediately led the troops to surround and surrender their weapons, and found that these soldiers of the exhaustive division country were guarding a huge treasury, and the humble duty seized the officials of the exhaustive division who guarded the treasury, and after interrogation, learned that this treasury was actually a treasure trove that the king of the Jieshi, Bote did not lead troops to loot the surrounding countries in these years, and all the wealth obtained was hoarded in this treasury. The lowly man opened the treasury and walked in to take a look, and found that the treasury was piled up with gold, silver, copper coins, jewelry, jade, and treasures from various countries, except for some treasures that required special care, all other treasures were stacked in the open air, and the number was innumerable! When he found that there were so many treasures piled up in the treasury, he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered the treasury to be sealed, and sent troops to guard it strictly, and then he rushed to report to the general, I don't know what to do with this batch of property? ”
Gao Xianzhi heard that a large amount of property had been seized for no reason, and his face suddenly showed a greedy look, and his eyes were also full of light, but he quickly remembered that Bian Lingcheng was still sitting next to him, since this news was known by Bian Lingcheng, then this batch of property was only afraid that it could not be swallowed alone, and it would be given to Bian Lingcheng anyway, in this case, it was better to simply be generous and upright, he turned his head to Bian Lingcheng and hugged his fist and said: "Lord Bian, I didn't expect this unexpected joy, how much is this batch of property?" Why don't you ask Lord Bian to go with Gao to have a look? ”
Bian Lingcheng just heard the news, and his greed also rose, but he still suppressed it well, so as not to be looked down upon if he was too ugly, and now Gao Xianzhi invited him to check the quantity and quality of that batch of property, of course he couldn't ask for it, but he still pretended to excuse himself and said: "This ・・・・・・ not very good, right?" ”
Gao Xianzhi laughed and said: "Hahaha, Lord Bian, as the so-called meeting is a share, let's go, let's go together!" ”
When Bian Lingcheng saw Gao Xianzhi say this, he immediately gave up his disguise, laughed and got up and walked out of the main hall with Gao Xianzhi, and after leaving the palace gate, the two rode horses and took a large number of soldiers and horses in the direction of Bert's private treasury.
Everyone soon came to the door of the warehouse, and Gao Xianzhi waved his hand to the lieutenant of his cronies: "Open the door of the warehouse!" ”
"No!"
After the door of the warehouse was opened, Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng walked in, and the other generals and soldiers stayed outside.
At this time, it was night, and there was no light in the warehouse, but the warehouse was like day, and the two found that the top of the warehouse and the surrounding walls were inlaid with more than a dozen huge night pearls, and these night pearls seemed to illuminate the entire warehouse as if it were daytime with a very powerful light bulb.
Just seeing these night pearls, Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng were already dumbfounded, and then saw that under the light of the night pearls, most of the warehouse was occupied by mountains of gold, silver and all kinds of gems, and these gold, silver and pearl gems were shining under the light of the night pearls.
This light is too charming, there are so many treasures, no one standing in front of them can maintain an ordinary heart, let alone Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, two greedy people?
The two of them stood in front of the mountains of gold, silver and jewels with a stunned look, saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths uncontrollably, and the two of them walked to the treasure in a daze, stretched out their trembling hands and grabbed the gold bricks, pearls and precious stones, and the greedy color was on their faces.
After a long time, the two of them walked out of the warehouse with a comfortable expression, and Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but say: "General Gao, the miscellaneous family thinks that the fewer people who know about this matter, what do you think?" ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded, looked at his cronies and asked, "Who else knows about this matter except you?" ”
"In addition to the humble position, there are also four cronies and subordinates, as well as the generals and officials of the National Army who guarded this treasury before!"
Gao Xianzhi said indifferently: "There are only three people who can know about this matter, me and Lord Bian, including you, as for the others, they will all be secretly executed!" This matter is left to you to handle, and you are not allowed to leak the slightest rumor, otherwise General Ben will ask for you! ”
"Yes, I understand!" (To be continued.) )
