As for Princess Yicheng's so-called letting him enter the Central Plains and become a new generation of emperors, he has no interest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
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.
There was a hint of worry between Li Jing's eyebrows.
If it is just according to Cen Wenwen, Jieli only wants to negotiate with Datang by virtue of the less than 100,000 troops who are now guarding the Black Wind Mouth, but he actually does not have an advantage.
After all, now that the Tang army has all returned to Shuofang, relying on the strength of Shuofang City, even if the 100,000 troops come, they may not be able to break through the city, not to mention the gunpowder bombs.
But in fact, the peace book in his hand made him wonder.
Why did Jieli dare to ask Datang for 50,000 stone of grain, 4,000 horses of linen and a few copper coins?
Why is he?
"Did Gong Cen ever know what Jieli's backs were?" Li Jing rubbed his forehead and asked.
"Backhand?"
Cen Wenwen was a little puzzled.
As a civilian official, he was not familiar with the matter of transferring troops, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Jing ask him this.
Suddenly, Cen Wenwen seemed to remember something, patted his head, and blurted out: "Three days ago, when the old man traveled three days ago, he seemed to have heard that Jieli had transferred troops, but the old man didn't pay attention to it at that time. I wonder if this news can be useful to Dashuai? ”
Li Jing nodded immediately, then stood up and walked towards the back of the tent.
Because a map was erected at the back of the tent.
Yinshan, Shuofang, Heifengkou, Dingdye, Xiangcheng.......
Li Jing carefully analyzed any place that Jieli might attack according to the current form.
At this time, Niu Jinda also stood up.
Obviously, Niu Jinda also felt that since Jieli wanted to negotiate peace with Datang, and in the peace talks, he did not accommodate Datang at all because of the defeat of the Tiemu Division, on the contrary, he still looked like a lion with his mouth wide open.
Xue Wancheng, Zhang Yi, Yue 11.....
Everyone present couldn't help but start thinking about Jieli's attack target.
After all, even in peace talks, both sides want to put themselves on the side with an advantage, and in this era of fist respect, the side with the advantage will inevitably take the initiative.
What's more, now that it has entered the early winter, according to the previous practice, there will be no war in winter, so since Jieli wants the lion to open his mouth to blackmail Datang, then he will definitely attack the border city in the near future.
From Jieli's point of view, if Jieli can get one or two cities, then Jieli will have an absolute advantage, not only can he loot the people in the city to get a part of the grain and grass, but also make a windfall through the Datang official.
In fact, everyone knows this truth very well in their hearts.
It's just that... It's just that what this Jieli will do is not known to everyone.
However, as a general, both Li Jing and Niu Jinda can be said to be veterans in the battlefield, and although they cannot be sure through empirical analysis, they can also see a little bit from the overall situation.
Li Jing's fingers gradually moved from Yin Mountain to the border of the Tang Dynasty.
"Shuofang City Jieli is impossible to attack!" Li Jing said lightly, and then PS the possibility of Jieli attacking Shuofang.
"Well, Shuofang is now strong and wide, if I were Jieli, I would not be able to attack Shuofang!" Niu Jinda nodded and said, "Even if he has 200,000 iron cavalry in his hand, he can't break through my Shuofang City in a short period of time!" If you insist on attacking, then it will be a war of attrition, although my Datang is suffering from natural disasters today and there is a shortage of food, but it can barely support it! ”
Cen Wenwen said: "According to the old man's observation in Yinshan, in fact, the Jieli Department is not optimistic! ”
Hearing Cen Wenwen say this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Cen Gong, please speak up!" Li Jing said.
"Although there seem to be a lot of tents in the Yin Mountain Division, most of them are actually women and children!" Cen Wenwen recalled, and at the same time walked to the map, pointed to the place where Yinshan was located, and said: "This is where they set up camp, and in order to facilitate management, their army is stationed here!" ”
"Huh?" Li Jing's brows furrowed again.
Because the place pointed out by Cen Wenwen is actually some distance away from Yinshan, at least three hundred miles away from Yinshan, and the west of this place is Xiangcheng, if you go south, it is Shuofang, and if you go east.... too far,
Immediately, Li Jing already had an eyebrow in his heart about Jieli's next combat target.
However, Cen Wenwen did not stop talking, he continued: "Don't look at Jieli's arrogant tone, in fact, he is also a strong outsider, because he also has a secret that the old man knows, hahahahaha!" ”
"Oh? What's the secret? Niu Jinda was also interested, slapped Cen Wenwen on the shoulder, and said eagerly: "Old man, hurry up!" ”
"Ouch!"
Cen Wenwen screamed miserably, and was almost slapped and dislocated by Niu Jinda's arm.
"Ahh Cen Gong forgives his sins! Niu Jinda almost bared his teeth when he saw Cen Wenwen, and he also knew that he had just started a little heavy, after all, everyone was a lot older, but they were not as young as young people.
"Humph!" At this time, Cen Wenwen no longer had the sadness after being kidnapped before, but looked like I was a hero, and said with a smile: "Although the old man was strictly guarded by Jieli in the camp tent, the old man still saw his eyebrows from the three meals a day!" ”
Cen Wenwen rubbed his arm, although he was angry at Niu Jinda's rough man, but he also knew that Niu Jinda didn't mean it, he glared at Niu Jinda at the moment, and continued: "We are Tang people, and we can't get used to eating beef and mutton that their barbarians don't put salt, thanks to this official position, so Jieli opened a small stove for me and the others, this morning is millet porridge, and at noon is white rice dry rice... Hehe!
To be honest, even when he was in Chang'an, the old man didn't have such a good treatment! ”
Although Cen Wenwen's official position is not low, he has to support a large family. What's more, since ancient times, the ancients have had the virtue of frugality, especially a person like him, as a Shangshu, can be described as a supreme minister, and he pays more attention to selfish desires.
So when he was at home, Cen Wenwen generally only had two meals a day with his wife, and it was just gruel and preserved fruit.
And when he arrived in Yinshan, Jieli obviously gave a very high standard of reception because of the identity of Cen Wenwen and his party, and did not despise them because they were prisoners.
On the contrary, there are a lot of good wines and dishes, and they are specially prepared for the five grains that the Han people like to eat.
Of course, from this point of view, it can be seen that Jieli does not have the intention of invading the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, at least for the time being, or that he does, it will also need to wait until he unifies the entire Mobei Prairie.
