Chapter 290: Layout

Tang Cheng was extremely tough on the issue of the truce of the Tuduo Division, and the Yusuo Department also had other plans, so it was inevitable that the Yusuo Department would suspend the attack on Tuduo.

After agreeing to increase the supply of weapons to the tribe by one-third each time, and to reduce the price of weapons on the current basis, the company happily issued an order to the tribal army to stop fighting on all fronts.

In this negotiation, Tang Cheng was very generous to the two demands put forward by the Ministry of Peace, and he also put forward two demands, the first of which was that the Ministry must insist on spot trading in the future arms trade and must not pay on credit. As for the second one, the Woo Suo tribe must try to avoid the old pastures of the Domo tribe where they are located in the ensuing battle, even if the northern half is difficult to control, the southern half of the boundary river must not be introduced into the war. In this regard, Yu Suoping, who had just made a fortune in Tuduobu, did not dwell on it any more, and the two sides took what they needed and successfully reached a deal.

It was precisely because of the Lisuo that he talked about later, and the process was also very smooth, so Tang Cheng, who began to shout that he would not stay in Yu Suo for a long time, did not really leave that night, and even participated in the banquet set up by Yu Suoping that night as the "most distinguished guest".

The Yusuo tribe has been living in the northwest of Raole for decades, far from having a closer connection with the Tang land like the three southern tribes, which is indeed conducive to maintaining the wolf nature of the grassland people and forging a strong army, but it also makes them have a big gap in life enjoyment. In Tang Cheng's view, the so-called "big banquet" he held tonight was at most just a grassland version of the reckless heroes "eating meat and drinking wine".

Aside from the aspect of eating and drinking, Tang Cheng also saw that tonight's feast obviously assumed two other functions, one was a summary of the end of the Tudo war, a lot of rewards were scattered, gold, silverware, women, pastures, and even majestic horses were pulled to the open space in the middle of the feast, and then distributed them one by one to the leaders who had made great achievements in this battle.

Eating meat, drinking wine in a big bowl can also be divided into spoils, and it can be clearly seen that Yu Suoping deliberately spread the reward noodles very wide this time, which made the atmosphere in the banquet reach an almost bursting level in a short period of time, in such an effective atmosphere, Yu Suoping just said two words plainly and then the upcoming Shali war, which immediately aroused a wolf's howl of shouting and killing.

Because of the smooth war against Tuduobu, and because of the stimulation of these goods in the battle with Tuduobu, the fighting spirit of the top and bottom of the Tuduobu has boiled to the peak at this time.

One is a summary of the war, and the other is to mobilize for the next battle, Tang Cheng understands these two points, but he really didn't expect that Yu Suoping's courage would be so great, he just ended the war against Tuduobu during the day, and at night he began to transfer troops and send generals to take the lead against Shali at a banquet with a sense of celebration.

After dividing the east and west, and after the eyes of all the leaders of his troops were bloodshot, Yu Suoping took the wine and gave the order to march to Shali, and this time the target he was staring at was the 10,000 horses that Shali placed outside the Governor's Mansion of Raole.

On the same day, after joining forces to attack Domogao, who was trying to win the fire, Yu Suo and Shali did not enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion according to the agreement, but went south, one to take Tuduo and the other to take Phuntso, and both sides left 10,000 horses outside the Dadu Governor's Mansion before leaving.

It can be said that this 10,000 horses is actually a temporary pact in disguise, this pact guarantees peace between the two sides until the three southern tribes are cleared, but with the order of Yu Suopin tonight, it marks the official end of this short-lived pact.

This also marks that the battle for King Rao Lexi, which has continued since Li Yanji's death, has officially completed all the peripheral cleaning work and entered the final battle between the two powerhouses.

This sneak attack by the Yusuo Department was the beginning of the fighting.

Looking at Yu Suoping, whose eyes were bloodshot due to congestion but pretending to be calm on his face, the imperceptible sneer on the corner of Tang Cheng's mouth flashed away in the shadow of the butter lamp.

After the banquet was over, Tang Chengjian refused the more than ten female slaves given to him by Yu Suoping, and after laughing at nearly twenty good war horses and returning to the tent where he was sleeping, he immediately called Zheng San over.

"Is there any news from Laifu over there in the past two days?".

This is what makes Tu Yeji curious, and Tang Cheng has always personally handled it without handing it over to him. After settling Maodan'er and other family members in Huairong, the city of Yanzhou, Laifu received a letter from Tang Cheng, and then said goodbye to Xiao Tao and went all the way north, during which he didn't even see Tang Cheng's face.

When Tang Cheng went to Chang'an that day, he was accompanied only by Laifu, and the biggest gain of Laifu during his time in Chang'an was to learn the means of stealth tracking and intelligence collection.

Taught by such a master, although the craft of Laifu has not really been used since Tang Cheng left Chang'an, after the initial unfamiliarity period, there is gradually a stable message sent back regularly, which makes Tang Cheng sigh more than once that the opportunity to come to Fu really responds to the old saying that he has no intention of inserting willows and willows.

Hearing this, Zheng Sansi glanced down, and after making sure that the servants in the tent had been sent back, he lowered his voice and said: "Since the last time Laifu said that he would come back in person, there has been no messenger to communicate, and he should arrive at the time."

"The situation has changed, Yu Suoping even started to attack without resting for a day, his hand is too fast, I have to know the latest situation over there as soon as possible", Tang Cheng said and muttered for a while before he spoke again, "You will leave early tomorrow morning to rush back to the Jiehe, and if you see Laifu, you will immediately lead him to see me." ”

"Uncle be careful and safe", Zheng San nodded and turned around to leave when he was stopped by Tang Cheng again, "Slow, you come to me again before you leave tomorrow morning, there are a few urgent letters to be sent to Chang'an as quickly as possible, just let him come over by himself when he sees Laifu, you can handle the letter with peace of mind, don't be afraid of spending money on this matter, as long as it is fast and stable."

"The distance is too far, if you want to be fast and steady, then you can only use the urgent foot in the army, or I will go to Captain Jia Du?"

"No, there is no reason for ordinary family letters to be in a hurry, and what does he, a general of the unified army, have to bypass the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and rush to the capital? What's more, the place where my letter is going is also sensitive, and when it comes to such a thing, the Shangguan can't help but mutter, and get out of the way? If it is in the name of Jia Zixing, ten percent of these letters will leak out of ten in the Dadu Governor's Mansion in Youzhou."

"That's ......".

"You go down and rest first, let me think about it carefully", Tang Cheng waved his hand in contemplation.

That night, the butter lamp in Tang Cheng's tent was lit until after the second watch, and when Zheng San came in the morning, his face was still tired.

Tang Cheng took out the five or six sealed letterheads under the pillow, took the first one on it and handed it to Zheng San, "When you go back, find Jia Zixing and rush this letter to Chang'an through his channels."

After Zheng San took the letter, he was stunned and looked at Tang Cheng in amazement when he saw that the recipient on the cover of the letterhead actually wrote the words "His Royal Highness the Prince".

It's not that the letterhead borrowed from Jia Zixing's anxious foot will leak light, how can it ......

"Do what I instructed", Tang Cheng didn't explain much, and after confirming it, he handed over the other letters in his hand, "After Jia Zixing's matter is done, you will hurry to Youzhou and find Liu Sima in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, I have a letter for him here, and after he saw the letter, he naturally understood, you can do what he explains." Remember? Well, then go for it".

After Zheng San left, Tang Cheng did not stay long in the busy Yu Suo Department again, and set out on the return journey after bidding farewell to Yu Suoping.

Along the way, I saw the cavalry of the Tuduobu with swords and bows on their shoulders shrinking and turning to battle under the leadership of the leader, and only the remnants of the Tuduobu were left in the place where the two armies were at the front, and almost all of these Tuduobu sergeants had a relieved expression, and the strong despair that Tang Cheng felt when he passed by a few days ago was replaced by new vitality.

Although Tu Duomeng and the others said that they put all their hopes of persuading the Suo Department on Tang Cheng when they had nothing to rely on, they didn't keep beating the small drum in their hearts, after all, the truce was too big, and the Yu Suo Department had the upper hand in an all-round way, so Yu Suo Ping could really agree? Even if you say yes, I'm afraid it won't be so sharp.

Because of this in mind, such a swift withdrawal of the Yusuo tribe was a huge surprise that Tuduomeng and other upper echelons of the tribe could hardly believe, not to mention the enthusiasm of Tang Cheng who had achieved this brilliant achievement.

In short, Tang Cheng, who returned triumphantly this time, definitely enjoyed the treatment second only to the wolf god in Tuduobu, and even when Li Yanji was not dead before, he had never enjoyed such a reception in Tuduobu.

It is also through this incident that Tuduobu's understanding of Tang Cheng's ability has a new evaluation, and the person who can make Yu Suoping say that the withdrawal of the army is really not something that the current Tuduobu can offend, and this result in turn better guarantees the agreement reached between the two parties before Tang Cheng's departure.

After staying in Tuduobu for a few more days, feeling the enthusiasm of Tuduomeng and others, and finalizing some issues that he had not been able to elaborate on last time, Tang Cheng drove back to the Jiehe camp.

Kankan waited for him to reach the halfway point when he met the three Laifu who were speeding all the way.

I haven't seen it for a while, and Laifu, who was already slightly fat when he was in Longmen, has obviously lost weight, and the skin on his face has darkened a lot, and he knows at a glance that it was blown out by the cold wind in the north.

Tang Cheng carefully looked at Fufu, personally took the warm wine pot on the red clay stove in the car, poured it and handed it over, "You've worked hard these days."

Laifu has been following Tang Cheng for a long time, and naturally can hear the feelings contained in Tang Cheng's seemingly bland words, his heart is hot at the moment, but his face is tense, and he said with a smile: "The young master can come here from Longmen alone, what is it for me to run an errand", because of his previous habits, although Tang Chengdu already has a daughter, Laifu is still used to calling him the young master.

"Okay, don't talk about this", Tang Cheng's body leaned forward, "Tell me, how is the situation in the north now?" ”。
