Chapter 290: Honoring the Gambling Contract
Although the delegation of the feudal towns led by Zheng Zheng was late, they were not less than half a point at Li Bao's eyes for so many trophies this time.
But Li Bao didn't have time to grind his teeth with them, after all, Weizhou was very short of food and manpower, and as for the money that those captured shabby soldiers and monks asked them to loot, they could give them a little share. As for how much to share, it depends on Li Baogao's displeasure.
The spoils distribution meeting was still held in Qingshui Town, and the location was still the manor of the big family in Qingshui Town. Li Bao was not interested in this meeting, but Zheng Zheng still had to give face.
The rest of the conference in addition to the distribution of spoils is to talk about merit, as the alliance leader of the battle Zheng Zheng is the host of the meeting, at this time Zheng Zheng is in high spirits, in the Tang Dynasty at the moment of thousands of horses, he led a few feudal towns to exterminate so many thieves.
Huangchao is known as an army of 500,000, but how many troops there really are, everyone present knows that Huangchao's
He twisted his beard and smiled: "The official family ordered a certain person to take charge of the defense of the northwest of the capital, and through the efforts of the past few months, all the envoys worked together to successfully exterminate the puppet Qi thief Kou Shangrang and Meng Kai and other thieves A total of 50,000 people. As the commander of this battle, I am deeply honored, I have lived up to the trust of the saints, and the victory of this battle is of great significance, and it has pointed out the way for the cause of Datang to suppress bandits. ”
Zheng Jin's words are comprehensive, and all aspects have been taken into account, and it can be seen that he, a gate-valve born Zai, is really talented and learned, and Zheng Jin's success this time has also given Huangchao Group a heavy slap in the face.
Datang's national glory can continue for more than ten years with this war. This is a turning point, in the past, the Tang army only blindly avoided the battle and surrendered in the face of the Huangchao thieves, but when it came to Fengxiang, there was such a big victory, and the inspiring effect was very obvious this time.
The original dividing point in the history of the Tang Dynasty bandit war began from this Fengxiang War, before which it was Huangchao's smooth sailing, and after that, it was the starting point of Huangchao's bad luck until Huangchao was defeated.
Now with the appearance of Li Bao, Huang Chao's bad luck will only be a little worse, originally Shang Rang only lost more than 20,000 people, and under the flapping of the wings of Li Bao's big butterfly, Shang Rang wiped out the whole army.
According to the way of the soldiers, the true strength of an army can be roughly judged, and the real strength and the declared strength are about two to three times the water, that is to say, when Huang Chao attacked Chang'an, he claimed to have an army of 500,000, so his actual strength was about 150,000 to 200,000 horses.
Such an army was already very large at the level of productivity in ancient times. However, in the past, Huang Chao was in the guerrilla stage, and there was no burden of supporting the soldiers, and he led the troops to belong to the typical "fighting to feed the war" style of fighting, and the peasant army fought wherever it ate and robbed.
Now after arriving in Chang'an, Huang Chao obviously felt the pain of raising soldiers, and the arrogant Daqi court was used to eating and wearing, so the exploitation of the surrendered feudal towns became more and more serious, which led to the surrendered feudal towns to return to the Tang Dynasty again.
Later, after Huang Chao sat in Chang'an and ate the empty mountain, he had no choice but to start a rogue business, and the feudal towns who had greeted him with a smile changed their faces surprisingly, and Huang Chao thought that he was a well-behaved and clever pug, but after he was frustrated, he became a fierce Tibetan mastiff.
Huang Chao had no choice but to run around, and began to use human flesh as military food, and later Qin Zongquan Sun Ru even made the practice of "human flesh military food" to the extreme, after these scumbags were rampant, there were few traces of white bones in the Central Plains.
These villains really deserve to die, but at this time, Li Bao is just condemning, after all, he doesn't need to take too much responsibility for what didn't happen, he is a traverser, he only needs to be responsible for his relatives, friends and subordinates.
After Zheng Zheng finished his enthusiastic speech, the next thing was to see the real chapter.
"This time to exterminate the Shang Rang bandits, all the envoys, especially King Ji's Weizhou military merits are the most prominent, at that time, a certain merit medal will be presented, the saint will be happy, and the future of the envoys will be further. Congratulations to all the envoys here! Zheng said with a smile.
"Not necessarily, some people can't be promoted, and if they are promoted again, they can only let the emperor let the virtuous. Haha...... "It's Tuoba Sigong who speaks, since this guy knew that he was picked up by the Weizhou army, he was in a bad mood, so he wanted to take this opportunity to tease Li Bao."
However, Li Bao was not interested in laughing with him, and looked directly at him and said: "Tuoba Thorn History, Lone still remembers the place where we went to war, and once made a bet, I don't know if you remember?" ”
The look on Tuoba Sigong's face was stunned, and he said vaguely, "It seems that there is such a thing, so-and-so had the intention of killing thieves at that time, so he came up with such a way to motivate the king and so-and-so to try their best to kill thieves." The king doesn't have to take it seriously, this thing, hehe, it's just a joke. ”
"Oh, in that case, what Tuoba Thorn said is considered a fart?" Li Bao continued.
"You!" Tuoba Sigong's face was crooked, he just wanted to be rough with Li Bao, and suddenly found that he was a Hu person, belonging to the most disrespected person, and Li Bao was a direct descendant of the Li royal family worthy of the name. What dare he do to make a move against the prince, let alone Li Bao, a powerful prince who has just easily captured 30,000 people.
In ancient China, the relationship between the family and the state was one and two. The home is the foundation of the country, and the country is the sum of the family. The state is also a big family.
The Li family is the royal family, that is, the master, and the other courtiers and subjects are all slaves of the Li family. Therefore, once Tuoba Sigong makes a move against Li Bao, what awaits him at that time will not only be the retaliation of the Weizhou army, but also the condemnation and accusation of public opinion. This is something that he, a Hu and Miao descendant, can't withstand, and he doesn't dare to withstand such high pressure.
In fact, for the Hu generals of the Tang Dynasty, integrating into the upper class of the Han people is the real problem, Li Guochang, who is stronger than Tuoba Sigong, Li Keyong father and son, in the suppression of Pang Xun's rebellion, made great contributions to Emperor Yizong's surname.
Such an honorable courtesy did not allow Li Guochang, Li Ke to integrate into the upper class of society with father and son. On the contrary, Li Keyong was dissatisfied because his father was too focused on pursuing the recognition of the upper class, and deliberately attached to the elegance of the upper class.
Later, the father and son continued to make trouble because of the small territory, and now they have been blocked for many years, and they have only recently broken through the encirclement. However, the upper class has never had a good face for them. Tuoba Sigong is not as strong as Shatuo's father and son, and it is not as good as the courtesy of giving the country's surname compared to the name.
Therefore, Tuoba Sigong, who is much despised, will deliberately behave in front of Li Bao, wanting to grow a long face in front of the Li Tang clan, but he doesn't want to kick a stone.
Therefore he endured with himself and said no more. However, Li Bao didn't intend to let him go, and then said: "You have to be counted if you talk nonsense, you can't stop talking about the truth of a certain Han family master just because you are a Hu person." If a man has no faith, he will not stand, yes and no, yes and no? ”
Li Bao's words made many of the Jiedu envoys present very uneasy, at this time there was nothing to help Li Bao bully a Youzhou assassin, but Youzhou was around them, and there were more than 10,000 iron horsemen under the command of Youzhou Assassin, and everyone had to think about offending a close neighbor with such a heavy army.
King Ji's Weizhou is separated by a large area of the territory of the Tubo people, and there is no border with them, so there is no need to worry about being hit by the Weizhou army. And the tone in which this Ji Wang Ye speaks, domineering is not like his usual style.
So for a while, the people who were related to each other reached a tacit understanding after glancing at each other, and then Tianxiong Jiedu made Qiu Gongyu speak: "There are a lot of people in the king, and the history of Tuoba Thorn is also out of the heart of bandits, and I also ask the king to give a thin face to a certain one, let go of Tuoba Thorn History." ”
Li Bao laughed, "Okay, good!" Since Tuoba Thorn Shi didn't believe his words, Lone was magnanimous and let go of what Tuoba Thorn Shi said and himself as a fart. ”
Li Bao's words were vulgar but direct, simple and efficient, hitting the most sensitive heartstring in Tuoba Sigong's heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his face flushed because he was too excited. He said angrily: "Presumptuous, you are an idle clan, you are presumptuous here, and you have repeatedly humiliated certain people, doesn't the king think that you are too much?" And this time you not only followed a certain family privately, but also intercepted the results of a certain family several times, don't you think you are too shameless? At the time of the final battle, you don't participate in the big battle, but you go around the main battlefield and go to the flank and back, pick up a big bargain, and sell your good here. Don't you think you're too aggressive? ”
The words in Tuoba Sigong's heart poured out like the water of the embankment in an instant, and when Tuoba Sigong was hearty, he found that everyone in the audience was stunned by his words.
Most of the warlords of the feudal towns are extremely high in the city, otherwise they can't become one-sided heroes, and Tuoba Sigong's humiliation today is actually completely self-inflicted.
However, in the face of Li Bao, who blindly picked up leaks, they also had a lot of complaints in their hearts, and they just took this opportunity to be told by Tuoba Sigong, a straightforward and fast-talking Hu man.
Jingyuan Jiedu made Cheng Zongchu play a round and said: "The king atons for his sins, Tuoba Thorn Shi is a habitual rectum, and some words are only said by a momentary hot-headedness, but what he said is not unreasonable." The king acted too lightly, and he followed Zheng Dutong to fight to the death in Longweipi, but the king picked up the leaks in the back, and got so many loot, but he didn't even follow Mao when he came, which seems to be too much to say. ”
Having said this, it is already obvious that the big guy is here to ask Li Bao for a share of the spoils, Zheng Zheng is a talented minister, and he will never compare these, Cheng Zongchu and Qiu Gongyu and others must have been summed up in the morning.
Li Bao laughed, he didn't care about these loot, but he was willing to give and force it was two different things. So Li Bao sneered and said, "Haha, pick up the leak?" You also go and pick up a leak for Lone to see. Standing and talking without backache! The palm thunder artifact owned by the Weizhou army led by Gu must have been seen by you, how powerful is it. If you hadn't captured all the troops in Zheng Zhiya's army, would you be able to defeat Shang Rang so easily?
As for what Tuoba Thorn Shi said, Lone intercepted his results, and this is evidence to be proven. If you don't, you're just making a false accusation. ”
Tuoba Sigong listened to Li Bao's words, and he had nothing to say, where did he go to get evidence, Wang Bojun and Li Bao. So he had to endure again
Li Bao continued: "As for those spoils, Lone Ben planned to give you a share of the profits, but you have already had a prejudice against Lone, and if Lone goes to fight you again, wouldn't it be cheap?" Besides, Lone behaves perversely, so these trophies are left behind, and you can disperse. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became angry. Tuoba Sigong spoke again: "Don't go around in circles, what do you want to do, so that you are willing to share the spoils of war to so-and-so?" ”
Li Bao laughed and said: "It's also simple, as long as Tuoba Thorn Shi kneels on the ground and kowtows to Gu three times, Gu will give you the right to distribute the loot in his hand." What do you think? ”
Before Li Bao's words landed, Tuoba Sigong immediately knelt on the ground: "Knock, knock, knock" The three rings have been completed.
He wiped the dust from his head, and then said, "Now you should give the loot to so-and-so, right?" ”
