Chapter 87 Eve (4)

Li Wei was slow to be reasonable, but some of his subordinates were in a hurry, Wang Hui came over and asked curtly: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, I don't know if you can say it?" ”

"Say it."

"Your Majesty has also taught us many times how fast you are soldiers. But His Majesty asked General Li to go to the river and train with great fanfare, and the Great Cannibals would be prepared. The minister thought that when the autumn was cool now, our army took advantage of the lack of food, and suddenly went south, and it was October, and the temperature was suitable for our army, so could we go to war immediately? ”

"The speed of the soldiers is good, but are we really for the sake of Persia, and we will not hesitate to attack the big cannibals?"

"I can't."

"Yes, so why do you need to be fast? Could it be that the soldiers were so fast that they could suddenly take down the city of Sulin (southeast of Baghdad, the translation of Chinese history books, inaccurate, it should be Ctesiphon, the capital of Sassanid Persia)? ”

Wang Hui shook his head again, not only Su Lin City, but also Jiling City had a powerful rebel army, and it was impossible to reach Jiling City directly from Tocharo through a single military speed.

"Even if you take it down, you will also occupy it, and you will repel the attacks of the big cannibals again and again, what will you do to our Tang Dynasty? In this war, we Tang Dynasty was the initiator, leading the Persians to resist, and the Rivers and Tocharians restored their confidence in resistance, and even the Byzantines were bold enough to participate in it, and weakening the power of the Great Cannibalism was our goal. Although it is said that the soldiers are fast and will take some cities, the main force of the Great Cannibals still exists, and the war will continue to stalemate. Why do they have to go deeper, why not attract their main army to the vicinity of the Wuhu River and fight in the terrain favorable to our army? ”

How to fight, a complete set of strategies has been formulated, but because of seniority, Wang Zhen did not participate. Wang Wei is talking about tactics, and Li Wei is talking about strategy, so the focus of the strategy is completely different.

Li Wei is still very satisfied with these rising stars, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the best is not Xue Ne, who has been cultivated for the longest time, but Xue Ne has many shortcomings, such as being very sloppy in combat, which is the most deadly. Moreover, it is very likely to be affected by Chengfeng Ridge and like to rush forward, which is fatal. But now he is not a manager, I believe that since he is famous in history, he can slowly cultivate it. Wang Zhan was very brave, and this characteristic can be seen by the fact that he led his army to chase the enemy, but he liked to take risks and advance lightly. Compared with Wang Zhen, Zhang Renyuan behaved well, had a strategy, marched steadily, and had clear rewards and punishments, and faintly had the demeanor of a famous general, so Li Wei asked him to envoy to Byzantium this time, which was also deliberately cultivated. But there is a little less room for people, and if this person leads an army alone, it is very likely that he will make a contribution. If you are a deputy, you may have a dispute. Guo Yuanzhen is also good, good at strategy and strategy, and has a view of the overall situation, but he is not heavy on defense. Tang Xiujing has superhuman memory ability, treats people kindly, and has both offense and defense, but he lacks the overall situation, that is, he can be competent for a battle, but he can't make a strategy perfect.

This evaluation was not given by Li Wei, but by Wang Fangyi, Li Jinxing, and Pei Xingjian's observation in Qinghai and the conclusions made by many parties.

And Pei Xingjian came to a conclusion that made Li Wei cold, the talent of these people, never expect them to surpass Wang Fangyi, Heiya Changzhi, or the previous generation of Liu Renliang, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui. But I also gave a comforting word, let's start cultivating from now on, talent is a part, and acquired growth is also a part, and the war has been fought a lot, and I wonder how much I can make up for the lack of talent. So I could almost take it and bring it to the Western Regions together.

With such an explanation, Wang Hui also understood what Li Wei meant, the scale of this war would not be small, but as a commander, he could not fight nonsense, and ensure that the Tang Dynasty suffered light losses to the greatest extent. He lowered his head and said, "It's that I'm thinking about it simply." ”

"It's not simple, I'll send you a word, Fu Jian's millions of people, still send Huainan to death, Sun En's little thief, the thief died in the sea, how can he come back, if it comes out, it is heaven that wants to kill!"

This is a very famous sentence said by Xie Yan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Xie Yan was a major general in the Battle of Weishui, and Sun En rebelled, allowing Liu Gaozhi and Xie Yan to be defeated and fled to the Zhoushan Islands. So the Eastern Jin Dynasty asked Xie Yan to be the chief inspector, and the generals persuaded Xie Yan that Sun En was forced to be poor on an overseas island and sent people to surrender to them. If Sun En does not surrender, his men will also surrender. But Sun En was brutal and killed a lot of people, not only the people, but also the disciples of the two high-ranking families of King Xie, only Xie An's niece Xie Daoyun let it go because of her courage.

Xie Yan thought that his enmity with Sun En was as deep as the sea, and because he underestimated the enemy, he said this to the generals, Fu Jian's millions of people are still defeated in the hands of me and others, and what about this little thief. If he returns to the mainland, God is ready to kill him. Don't listen. Then Sun Enzhen came out, landed the following year, and defeated the Jin army in one fell swoop, and Xie Yan and his two sons were not in the army. It cannot be said that Xie Yan has no military talent, on the contrary, his military talent is no less than that of Zhang Renyuan and others. Otherwise, he would not have led 8,000 people to cross the river with Xie Xuan, and defeated Fu Jian's 800,000 horses in one fell swoop. But his death at the hands of Sun En was caused by his arrogance. (Personally, I think it's a fluke to win the battle of Weishui, otherwise Xie An wouldn't have heard the news of the victory and broke the root of his shoe)

Wang Hui came to find a suggestion today, and Li Wei did not object, but he saw some bad things in Wang Hui. On the surface, he put forward a tactical suggestion, but the nature was different from that time of Wei Yan'an, because Wang Zhan saw that the Tang army had won many great victories and underestimated the enemy, and thought that if a soldier was noble, Khorasan and Sestan would be captured one after another. Not only him, but it is possible that there are many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty who have become arrogant because of their repeated victories. Therefore, after finishing speaking, let Wang Hui write this sentence dozens of times and send it to the hands of the generals in the army.

Saying this is better than saying that you are proud and underestimate the enemy.

……

At the same time, Moufu City was in chaos at this time.

At that time, Kang Dabeard just thought that we wanted to make money, and if we made money, we would die.

This one is very good, and everyone in Qinghai has blood on their hands. Especially the second time scouts were sent.

There was no problem with the language of the scouts sent out for the first time.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the people in the Hezhong region began to migrate to the Central Plains, and the process was very slow, mostly because of the merchants, who continued to do business, and then from Xizhou and Hexi Corridor to Chang'an, Lingzhou, and slowly settled down.

After the Tang Dynasty conquered the Western Regions, this trade became more intensive. Of course, the Tang Dynasty also paid commercial taxes, mainly for the sake of business, and it was impossible to really not levy taxes at all, but the policy of the Tang Dynasty was very strange, for the naturalized Hu merchants, like other Hu people, only levied taxes such as rent, renting wine, drinking, getting on horses and offering saddles. These taxes were also invented by the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the object of the commercial tax was not these naturalized Hu merchants, but Kehu, that is, Hu merchants who were not naturalized. The method of taxation was also immature, and the government paid a weighing price according to the regulations and the amount of sales, as well as the hidden money for the royal family, which was invented during the Gaochang period, was also retained.

In short, Li Wei had a headache, but for decades, it had just passed, officials and businessmen thought it was convenient, Li Wei wanted to run the Western Regions and wanted to move, but he was afraid of turmoil, so he didn't ask.

As a result, many people in the Hanaka region speak Tang dialect fluently.

When the Great Food invaded, it finally caused more people with the surname of Zhaowu to flock to the Tang Dynasty. Some of the people came to Qinghai, and these people entered the Qinghai army one after another. Many people have forgotten the language of their ancestors, but later generations, they can still speak the language of the river, and some people are even gifted enough to speak fluent Persian and stammering the language of the Great Eater.

All the way to the west, a group of soldiers were selected from the army, one must be shrewd, and the other must have a talent for language, so that they can learn the language of Persia and Dashi. At that time, Li Wei did not think that he was launching such a large-scale battle, and there were not many of them. This was also the first scout to be sent.

In the second batch, I had no choice but to give up the pickiness of the language, and changed to a shrewd and capable mainstay, some of whom were selected from the Qinghai soldiers, and some of whom were selected from the reliable Hu soldiers under Wang Fangyi. But there was no Han soldier, which was also caused by the deformed policy of the Tang Dynasty, the Hu people could go abroad to do business, but the Han people could not go abroad to do business. No one cared about the endless flow of Hu people to Khorasan and Sestan, and once the Han people poured over, except for the monks who learned the scriptures, it would immediately make people suspicious.

But what does it mean to be shrewd and capable?

In the end, it became that whoever kills more people will be shrewd and strong.

So he chose a lot of black-hearted and bold Hu people to enter Sestan and Khorasan. Later, many jaw-dropping things happened, but Kang Dabeard's performance this time was the most outstanding.

When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the night of murder.

When September arrives, the cold air gradually moves south, the wind blows down from Siberia, and the leaves rattle. Not only did it hide their noise, but it also made the Persian merchant's guard let his guard down. Touched it and killed people, one more than a cow. Each of them had two things in his hand, a towel to cover his mouth, and a knife to cut his throat.

Divided into four groups, after a while, more than 40 people up and down the door were killed, and not a single one was left alive.

After confirming that there was no one alive, several people whistled, and then divided up to search for it, and all the valuable wealth of the family, that is, gold, silver, and jewelry, were all in a bag. Then the bodies were gathered together and a fire was placed, but from inside the house. Then he lay on the wall, looked around and saw that there was no one around, the night was dark, the autumn wind whimpered, and slipped away one after another. When he returned to the inn, he saw the merchant's house blazing with people shouting and shouting.

Leaving this aside for the time being, the looted property was counted. They had to thank this era, there were no banks, so they had to hide these valuable possessions in their homes, and even put them in a secret compartment in the room, which contained not only iron locks, but also iron boxes, which took Kang Dabeard's group a long time to open. There is another one, because of the endless non-stop outside the city, he also has to transfer his main property to his own home in the city. So they entered the pockets of Kang Dabeard together, and gained a lot, and the value of the property they stole amounted to almost 300,000 dill. It was part of the Persian merchant's property, as well as his shops and land, which he had not been able to move in.

Leaving a portion of the gold and silver coins, he dug a pit under the bed, buried the property in it, and then patted the pit solidly.

This time there is finally money for the event, not to mention bribing Abrah, the lord of the city, and bribing Salem with so much property is more than enough.

But they all underestimated the consequences, and the city of Moufu was not only strategically important, but also occupied one of the four important cities of Khorasan, Barihe, Herat, Nishapur and Moufu. And the original region of Persia, the Khorasan region is the flattest, and further west, that is, the Ilang Plateau, so it is rich in products. Therefore, the city of Moufu is the most important city in Khorasan, and after the great cannibals occupied Khorasan, they also made Moufu the capital of Khorasan.

As the lord of the city, Ablah is a very energetic person.

The merchant's daughter was very good-looking, and she was very charming and loved by Ablah. And this businessman is also a signboard deliberately set up by Da Shi. Seeing the flames rushing out, the patrolling soldiers immediately rescued them, and the fire was extinguished, but the traces were not destroyed. Overnight, more than 40 people were killed, property was looted, Abla was furious, and the concubine was crying and crying, so he immediately ordered the whole city to be searched.

As soon as the genius lit up, a ** person found the inn.

With so many people tied together, they immediately became the main object of the inn's interrogation. In fact, the soldiers did not think about it, but looked at it, and they were all merchants from the river, and in their impression, the people in the river were weak and deceitful. There are only a dozen businessmen, who never have the courage to do this, and they are not capable of doing it. The murderer must have been committed by some of the city's largest rebel groups. There are a lot of people, otherwise it is not so clean.

Check Kang's bearded people, there are a lot of people, and they can be the reason for the check, and then they can be extorted.

After a few days, a large amount of money was extorted. As a result, more and more people came to the door, and they were still a little scared at first, after all, they went deep into the tiger's den, and they were afraid of showing their feet. After a few days, accustomed to it, Kang Dabeard saw an opportunity instead. So with the help of Miranda's thin network of relationships, he slowly reached Abla. After spending a lot of money, Abra was finally willing to meet him.

Hearing the news, Kang Dabeard and others made preparations. First of all, I went to the slave market and bought six or seven charming Persian *** slaves, and then prepared a sum of jewelry. They also had jewels in their hands, but they were afraid to recognize them and did not dare to take them out.

When he went to the door and saw the gifts, Abra was very happy. Miranda then spoke, saying that they were the great merchants of the Stone Kingdom, and that they had come to the city to seek wealth, and that they would look forward to Abla. So far, Shiguo has not had much to do with Da Shi, so Abula agreed. After accepting such a valuable gift and taking someone else's, it was always soft, so at the beginning of the dinner, Abula also took the initiative to introduce Kang Dabeard and others to various officials in the city.

Then he whispered, don't worry about doing business in Moufu in the future, as long as you are in the Moufu area, you will have a green light all the way, no such word, that's about what it means. Miranda also pretended to be very happy, and said, there are some good mansions in the city, and we want to buy them as a permanent place to live. If you have money in your hands, you can pretend to be a big businessman, and you can't always stay in the inn. If you have a mansion and buy a few more slave girls, you will be able to entertain guests in the future, and you can drink wine and say anything.

Abra didn't think of anything else at all, even if Salem, the governor of Khorasan, was here, and he might not have thought that this group of people was actually scouts sent by the Tang Dynasty. Immediately agreed to come down.

Leave it all together.

After this time, it was quiet, and two days later, several big food soldiers came to the door and took them to a luxuriously decorated courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and the price was a bit expensive. But it wasn't the money I earned, I didn't care, I took it immediately.

Then moved in.

In the next ten days, two more family banquets were held, and some goods were purchased in a pretend, and everything went perfectly. At this time, the city of Moufu was also quiet, but in the past ten days, countless innocent people have been suspected and killed by the great cannibals.

It still didn't matter, but on this day, a Persian in his thirties came to the door and asked to see him.

Kang Dabeard didn't know him, but they were businessmen, so he invited him over and introduced himself straight to the point: "My name is Master Panjie." ”

Then he looked with his eyes at the two maids who served.

Miranda suspiciously told the maid to step back.

Then he said, "I saw you when you went to Salad's house that night. ”

The salad was the name of the Persian merchant who was killed by Kang Dabeard.

When I heard this, my face changed.

He Zhongbai's hand was already on the big scimitar in his waist.
