Chapter 188: Casting Names

Gongtang is close to the northern foot of the Himalayas, the terrain is high, even in August, the climate is not high, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, Liu Ji, who has been prepared for this, gave an order, and all the Tang people who came from afar lived in the city, and the houses of those who were originally big families.

The largest of them was naturally left to him, and there were two young Tibetan women in the room, who came from a large family in the city, for service and bed warming.

Liu Ji is slowly adapting to this kind of life, and this experience always reminds him that once defeated, those women will become the playthings of the winner, an era in which the strong will always be strong and the weak will lose a lifetime, and he can only become stronger to survive.

Gongtang is an important border town, a large number of people are scattered in the form of tribes in the Zang River valley, and those who can live in the city are the upper echelons of each tribe, so the whole city is almost wiped out, and thousands of human heads are hung all over the entire city wall.

This kind of errand was naturally handed over to the mountain people to do, and what Liu Ji and others had to consider was some major issues of principle, such as a certain eunuch who was killed by mistake.

The situation should be like this, the friendly subject of the Tang Dynasty, in order to deal with the attack of the common enemy Tubo, sent surprise troops, crossed the Zang River from the sideways, arrived at the city of Gongtang by surprise, launched an attack at night, and finally broke through the defense of the Tubo people after paying a very heavy price.

The city guard was annoyed and angry, in vain to try to take my Tang angel as a hostage, forced his country to retreat, the angel did not obey, due to the language barrier between the two sides, in the subsequent rescue process, the messenger was unfortunately injured by the Tubo people, many times of treatment was ineffective, and finally martyred heroically, leaving his last words before dying.

"It's not my intention to be a marquis, but I hope that Tubo will be peaceful."

The listeners were all moved, my Datang soldiers heard the bad news, and the self-handsome Feng Changqing was below, the crowd was excited, tears were heard, and they all cried blood oaths, new hatreds and old hatreds, just in the present dynasty, kill and humiliate the country, not to treat this thief, and swear not to return to the teacher......

There was a fire dragon lit in the room, and several people sat in a circle, roasting mutton while drinking and discussing, except for the two Tubo women who served, there was no other subordinate.

A few people here, Zhang Wuprice, Xu Guangjing needless to say, although Yang Yu is not his subordinate, he can be regarded as a close friend, Kang Laosi sat at the bottom, listening to his own master talking nonsense there seriously, with a little strangeness on his face.

He was the only one who knew the whole story, and even Zhang and Xu didn't know the details, but the result had to be told to them, because there were many people who saw it at that time, and it was better to tell them bluntly than speculate.

Zhang Wuxian looked at the flames in the earth dragon without blinking, as if there was a flower on it, the two of them were the first to attack the city, after taking the city defense, they didn't go in again, and handed over all the chasing and killing work to the mountain people commanded by Kang Laosi, what happened later, who would know, but when he heard Liu Ji's words, even if he was an old man like Xu Guangjing, he understood that the situation inside was not so simple.

Because the so-called serious injuries are not cured, it is simply a non-existent thing.

Even they felt abnormal, Yang Yu couldn't have imagined that there were all people here, except for himself, most of these words were said to be listened to by himself, so as to be a witness in the future.

After all, it was an angel, since the Tang Dynasty, the prison army was killed in the army, it is still unheard of, and the imperial court will send people down to inquire if it is unacceptable, and when the time comes, they will naturally be consulted, and now is the time to unify the voice.

"Lieutenant Envoy Li, why is he in Gongtang City?" As soon as Yang Yu opened his mouth, he asked a key question.

Liu Tan had to admire his tacit understanding: "He asked himself to negotiate peace with the Tibetans, and the generals in the camp tried to persuade him a lot, but they did not move, but this matter was not known to the friends of Nepal, so it caused a regrettable result." ”

"I see, then it's no wonder, the Tubo people will definitely think that the peace negotiation is a trick, so they will kill the envoy, it's a pity."

"It's a pity."

Seeing that he simply recognized it, Zhang, Xu and others hurriedly agreed, and several people tacitly reached an agreement, and reported it according to Liu Ji's words, and the Tubo people in the city were almost killed, and it was difficult to find a counterexample, even if someone really came to check, what were they afraid of.

With Yang Pre's corroboration, this matter can be regarded as conclusive, after all, when he negotiated peace privately, many people in the army saw it, and it was easy to find someone who testified.

"Okay, forget about this matter, I'll write a document in a while, you all sign it, let the Gu Guli send it back overnight, and smoothly inform the army of the war, our idea is already the limit, and further on, it is the heartland of the Tubo people, and it is not enough for people to drink a pot."

Liu Ji's analysis coincided with their thoughts, the casualties in the capture of Gongtang City were not large, there were less than 20 people in Qiankeng, and Yang Pre's cavalry was more, only less than 20 people remained, and the two together were exactly 100 people.

With such a small number of people, plus thousands of Zhangxiong and less than 5,000 mountain people, he was afraid that he would not even see the shadow of the city of Luo, and he would be wiped out, although he was arrogant, but he was not so stupid as to have no self-knowledge.

Only Anxi's army kept up, plus Li Siye's partial division, calculating the days, he should return to Kantipur, take the alliance of the Tianzhu countries to the east, sweep the tin and other countries in later generations, and approach the hinterland of the Tubo people from the other side.

If they cooperate properly, the two armies will meet under the city of Luoqi, and it will be the first Han army in history to fight so far, making history to the letter.

Of course, this will definitely not be smooth sailing, the Tubo people are facing a life-and-death situation, and they will burst out with terrible combat effectiveness, the question is, they are only a small part of the entire Tang army, how much can the Tubo people handle?

"Although we have to wait for news, we can't be idle, the Zhangxiong people are looting everywhere, the mountain people can also attack with a purpose, the results of the battle are not important, as long as a signal is released, let the Tubo people think that the Nibhara and Zhangxiong have all fallen to the Tang Dynasty, and it will be."

He turned his head to look at Yang Yu and said: "Huzi, you don't have many people under you, but you still have to use it, you don't need to be too abrupt, as long as you ensure that the news in the surrounding thirty miles is unimpeded, so that there is an early warning opportunity here, it is possible?" ”

Yang Yu nodded indifferently: "If you have a horse, you can do it, but it's a little unpleasant." ”

"What?" Liu Ji asked.

"There are few mothers-in-law in this city, and there is not even one who can see it, which is like the city of Kabiyero, which is full of delicious little ladies, if you can send a few from there, even if the sons and daughters work hard, it is worth it."

Liu Ji was a little speechless, this guy is straightforward, but although his words are rough, he is not wrong, the two Tubo women sent to him are already the best-looking in the city, but he doesn't even have the desire to start, and he is not a chick who has never seen a woman, and he will be moved by a mother.

Of course, the two places are separated by many mountains, and it is more than half a month to go back and forth, so he will not send people for this kind of thing, and the matter is agreed, several people go back separately, but Kang Laosi, who is at the end, stays and hands him a small cloth bag.

"What is this?"

Liu Ji opened it and saw that there was a small seal and a letter inside.

"What was found from that person, with this thing, it can confirm the identity of the person."

Liu Ji nodded, he didn't need this seal, he could recognize it at a glance, because the other party's face was too distinctive, and when he picked up the letter at the bottom, he looked at it, but it was an order he wrote to Kang Laosi.

Add the two things together, and it becomes obvious that the other party is showing his attitude to himself and is resolutely and completely tied to his boat, which can be regarded as a vote.

Liu Ji put his things away and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job, I'm optimistic about you." ”

He does not hesitate to praise loyalty, so that people's subjective initiative can be fully mobilized.
