Chapter 348: Snow in the North (6)

However, on the third day after Tang Peng left, Cen Wenwen returned to Shuofang City with two guards in disgrace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After talking with Li Jing, Niu Jinda, and others, Li Jing immediately convened a meeting with all the generals and colonels in the army.

"Gong Cen, do you mean that Duke Tang and all of you were taken to Yinshan by Jieli?" Niu Jinda looked at the two old men in front of him, and Cen Wenwen, who was high-spirited in the past, was not only heaven and earth, but in his opinion, this old man had suffered a lot during this trip to Yinshan, so he left a little bit of morality on his mouth, and replaced the prisoner with the word "belt", which can be regarded as giving Cen Wenwen a step down.

What do you know about Niu Jinda's words?

Cen Wenwen smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "To be captured is to be captured, how can you say it with words?" The old man's trip to Mobei this time can be described as a twist and turn! ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his cuff and asked the guard next to him to hand it to Li Jing and continued: "The old man, Tang Gong and others sent an envoy to the Pearl Department, but fortunately, they succeeded in dividing the Pearl Department into four, which is for the Pearl Department, the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars!" ”

"Cen Gong's work is in the contemporary era!" Li Jing nodded.

The main task of Cen Wenwen, Tang Jian and others in the Pearl Department was to canonize the three sons of the Pearl Khan as Khans and implement a policy of division and co-optation. Obviously, from the news that Li Jing got, Cen Wenwen and Tang Jian have done an excellent job of this task, if it weren't for the fact that he made a profit halfway, he could be said to have made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty this time.

Therefore, Li Jing's statement is also well-founded.

Not only Li Jing, but also Niu Jinda, Xue Wanren and Zhang Yi also agreed.

Not to mention anything else, just Cen Wenwen's age, it is not a simple matter to ride a horse to Mobei with a weak body for thousands of miles. You must know that in ancient times, transportation was very backward, and travel was nothing more than horses, ox carts, and the like.

Chang'an and Mobei cross thousands of miles, in order to stabilize the Pearl Khan before the beginning of spring, Cen Wenwen and his gang must rush with all their strength to cooperate with Li Jing's army to rush to the Pearl Department before the cold winter comes.

With such a long road, even a young man like Zhang Yi had a hard time catching up, and an old man like Cen Wenwen was undoubtedly even harder.

But even though he slept all the way, Cen Wenwen still persevered, not only that, but he even completed his mission gorgeously with Tang Jian and others, which was a huge success from this point of view.

As for being captured alive by Jieli, it is actually an irresistible force at all.

After all, even Li Er or the entire court didn't take into account that there was a Jieli hidden in Yinshan on the side, so Cen Wenwen not only had no fault but had great merit and the country this time.

"That's right, Cen Gong Lao Ji is really impressing!" Niu Jinda also nodded, he still admired Cen Wenwen very much, and after changing the topic, he asked again: "I just don't know that Tang Gong is still in Yinshan now?" ”

Suddenly, the whole tent fell silent.

Tang Jian was the main person responsible for this canonization strategy, and he suddenly disappeared before and searched for it to no avail, so in most people's eyes, Tang Jian and Cen Wenwen and his party may have encountered an accident. Now that Cen Wenwen has returned to Shuofang, it means that Tang Jian is likely to have been captured by Jieli in the same way.

"yes!" Cen Wenwen sighed and said, "Tang Gong, Lao Fu and the others were brought to Yinshan by Jieli's men and horses together!" ”

However, when it came to this, Cen Wenwen did not continue to talk about this topic, but pointed to Li Jing, who was reading the letter, and said: "The reason why the old man can come back this time is mainly because Jieli wants to use the old man's hand to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Peace talks?" Zhang Yi was stunned.

Niu Jinda, on the other hand, frowned.

"Yes, peace talks!" Cen Wenwen said: "Presumably, by now, the chief manager and the generals may have already seen that the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind. My Datang uses strategies for the pearl department, but I don't know that there is a Jieli behind it.

According to my understanding along the way, this conspiracy has actually been going on since the beginning of the year, and the purpose is to let my Tang He Pearl Department fight, and after I am defeated, Jieli will send troops to clean up the grassland that is not subordinate to them! ”

The tent was unusually quiet, except for the sound of the paper sliding as Li Jing flipped through the letters, there was only a heavy wheezing sound.

Cen Wenwen's analysis is very correct, and it is not a secret, but the people present are actually just a guess, and now that they have been affirmed by Cen Wenwen, a person who came out of Jieli's base camp, they can't help but become dignified.

"Cen Gong!" Xue Wancheng stood up, clenched his fists towards Cen Wenwen, and asked, "Since Cen Gong is from Yinshan, do you know the specific situation of Yinshan?" And what is Tang Gong's situation at this time? ”

"Jieli claims to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact it is about the same!" Cen Wenwen said solemnly: "As far as the old man knows, there are the first and second warriors of the grassland under Jieli's account respectively Tiemuhe and Tuolei, and this time they led 50,000 troops to attack Shuofang City and block Li Shuai's soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all gathered at the foot of Yin Mountain!"

As for Tang Gong is now in no danger, it means that I have a peace talk with the Tang Dynasty, but I am afraid that the specific situation still needs the support of Li Shuai's side, if we can fight two beautiful battles, then it is estimated that the peace talks will be much more advantageous. “

In fact, as Cen Wenwen said, Tang Jian was really negotiating peace with Jieli at this time.

As the overlord of the grassland, Jieli is very aware of the advantages of the grassland people, and their advantages are strong bodies and magnificent physiques, so they naturally occupy a lot of advantages compared to the Tang people in combat.

However, the steppe people are nomadic people after all, they don't know anything about farming and the like, if they go to the Central Plains to plunder, I'm afraid they will be handy, just farming.... to rule over the people, and this will cost them their old lives.

In the minds of all the grassland people, whether it is the Sui people in the past or the Tang people today, they are actually Han people, and the brains of the Han people are notoriously smart, so unless it is necessary, they don't like to deal with the Han people at all.

It is precisely because of this that Jieli actually does not like to invade the Central Plains, but this step invasion requires a premise, that is, to protect the interests of the grassland tribes, or the tribes led by him.

As for Princess Yicheng's so-called letting him enter the Central Plains and become a new generation of emperors, he has no interest.

So this time, since Jieli can already unify the grassland, then he already has the capital to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, after all, even if the Tiemu Hebu is defeated, he still has more than 200,000 combat power in his hands with the addition of the remnants of the pearl and the Ashina people.

As long as he has heavy troops in his hands, then Datang has to give in and obediently meet all the conditions of her Jieli.
