Chapter 131: Counter-Plotting
"After such a thing, Ashina Fu Nian is still willing to hand over the letter of surrender?"
Li Yifu obviously didn't expect that there would be such an inside story, and asked in disbelief.
"Yes!"
Pei Xingjian's face changed for a while, and he nodded hesitantly.
"Because of the great changes that took place within the Turks at that time, Ashed Fuwen urgently needed to replenish his forces after his defeat, and the contradictions between him and Ashina Funian became more and more acute, and he almost had a head-on conflict several times, and his life was also very difficult.
And Ashed Fu Wen also moved the idea of replacing Ashina Fu Nian, so although the two sides were very unhappy at that meeting, the peace talks did not end because of this. ”
"According to what General Pei said, Ashina Fu Nian has a secret army in his hands, in that case, why did he still surrender to my Tang Dynasty?"
Li Yifu continued to ask.
The two of them asked and answered in the main hall, seemingly calm, but in fact, every word of both sides was carefully considered, for fear of leaving each other with flaws.
As for Li Zhi on the throne, he was also curious by Pei Xingjian, he had never set foot on the battlefield in his life, and he was also extremely fascinated by such things.
Li Zhi didn't speak, so naturally no one dared to interrupt.
For a moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Pei Xingjian.
"That's not how it works!"
Pei Xingjian shook his head and continued.
"Although I don't know the specific situation of that secret force, I think it should be small in number, and it is good at stealth assassination, and our army was only temporarily lax before being raided by it.
If it comes to the strength of the upright, Ashina Fu Nian is much worse than Ashed Fu Wen, after all, most of the army is still in the hands of Ashd Fu Wen. ”
"Then may I ask General Pei, has the general contributed to the troubles in this?"
After listening to Pei Xingjian's words, Li Yifu skimmed a grim smile on his face.
Yin asked suspiciously.
This sentence couldn't help but make Pei Xingjian's heart sink.
"What does Li Zhongshu mean?"
"General Pei doesn't understand? The old man might as well make it clearer, the reason why Ashina Fu Nian was forced to be cornered is probably from the handwriting of General Pei! General Pei is familiar with the art of war, and he should know that there is a counter-plot among the 36 strategies! ”
Li Yifu twisted his gray beard and said with a sinister smile.
Suddenly, Pei Xingjian's face became ugly.
Because Li Yifu did say it.
At that time, he did send people disguised as Turks to spread rumors within the Turks and sow discord between Ashed Fu Wen and Ashina Funian.
Otherwise, even if the two are not in harmony, they will not fight so fiercely when the Tang army is pressing.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Xingjian spoke.
"That's right, the old man did send someone to destroy the relationship between Ashina Funian and Ashid Fu Wen, and it is okay to say that it is a counter-plot, but the way of the soldier is to be a ghost plot, and the victory or defeat never depends only on the battlefield! The old man doesn't think there's anything wrong with this move! ”
After a moment of panic, Pei Xingjian quickly calmed down.
"Wrong? Of course, it's a big mistake! ”
Li Yifu suddenly raised his voice and became extremely strong.
"Let me ask you, since the Turks have become remnants at that time, our army should have crushed the past with dignified and upright strength, and such tactics were only used when the enemy was strong and I was weak, and now our army is in full swing, why do you have to do this trick!"
"At that time, our army had not yet arrived, how could we continue to pursue and carry out this dangerous move?"
Pei Xingjian is not easy to deal with, and directly moved out of the logistics shortage.
"Strong words! The robbery of the baggage was just a small sum, and the follow-up grain and grass arrived on time, why did the general still advocate peace after our army had enough food and grass? ”
Li Yifu took a step forward, his voice cold.
"This ......"
Pei Xingjian was speechless for a while.
"Don't have anything to say!"
A smile appeared in Li Yifu's eyes, and he turned to Li Zhi and said.
"Your Majesty, as far as the old minister knows, the anti-war plan has been going on since the beginning of the war, whether it is a big victory or a big defeat of our army, it has never stopped, it can be seen that General Pei has the intention of surrendering Ashina from the very beginning! However, the old minister is puzzled, General Pei keeps claiming that he has no personal relationship with Ashina Fu Nian, how can he be so sure from the beginning that he will be a minister to my Tang Dynasty? ”
If it was really a heart-wrenching remark, Li Zhi's face also became a little unpleasant.
The 300,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty are enough to defeat the Turks, but at this time, Pei Xingjian still has to make this plan, obviously he has to think about it?
"Pei Aiqing, what Li Qing said, how do you explain it?"
Li Zhi asked slowly.
made Li Hong feel a little relieved in his heart, it seemed that Li Zhi was just suspicious in his heart.
Otherwise, he should have asked, "Is this true?" ”
Instead of letting Pei Xingjian explain.
"Your Majesty, the minister has indeed been doing this divisive plan, but at the beginning, the minister only hoped to provoke internal discord among the Turks, so as to disintegrate their power, not as Li Zhongshu said, from the beginning of the idea of surrender, as for Ashina Fu Nian, the minister does not have any personal relationship, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"
Pei Xingjian groaned slightly, and then spoke.
This explanation is reasonable, so Li Zhi's face is slightly good-looking, and he set his eyes on Li Yifu.
Li Yifu was not ambiguous, and turned directly to Pei Xingjian and said.
"Since General Pei didn't have the idea of surrendering, why did he still accept Ashina's letter of surrender?"
"This ......"
Pei Xingjian hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"At that time, Ashina Fu Nian asked my Datang to surrender, which really caught the old man off guard, but Ashina Fu Nian proposed to help my Datang win the war completely, and the old man tried to continue talking with him."
"It seems that the conditions proposed by the enemy chief made General Pei's heart moved?"
Li Yifu sneered.
The tone was still full of sarcasm.
"Indeed!"
Unexpectedly, Pei Xingjian nodded seriously and said.
"At that time, the conditions proposed by Ashina Fu Nian were indeed very tempting! He promised to provide our army with a hidden path to raid Wolf Mountain, and would cooperate with our army to enter Wolf Mountain and capture Ashid Fuwen alive, and all we need to pay is to send an elite team to accept Ashina Funian's invitation to surrender after the Turkic civil strife is settled! ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were amazed.
You must know that the most dazzling achievement of this Western Expedition is the capture of the enemy commander.
But I never thought that there was such a secret and tortuous process in it!
"Hmph, so General Pei agreed to him? With such an act, General Pei still dares to say that he is not ignoring the interests of Datang for his own merits? What's wrong with the old man impeaching you for colluding with enemy chieftains and falsifying meritorious deeds? ”
Li Yifu flicked his robe and said in a cold voice.
The tone was aggressive, which made Pei Xingjian's face blue and white for a while.
