Chapter 515: Tacit
readx; "Sit down, two!"
Shang Xi Dongzan invited them to sit down, and asked, "Since you are the envoy of the Great Food, what kind of letters do you have?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Yes!" Zarik took out Mansour's letter, handed it with both hands, and said, "This is a personal letter from His Majesty our caliph to the general, please read it." β
Shang Xi Dongzan opened the letter, there is a Tubo translation in the letter, he can understand it, and there is a national seal of the big food below, this letter should be true, and his heart has also begun to be active, now the Tang army is eyeing the tiger, the momentum is extremely strong, and there is the sharpest weapon of Tianhuo Thunder, plus Zampu is dead, the morale of the Tubo army is low, everyone is homesick, Shang Xi Dongzan understands in his heart that this battle, in terms of momentum, the Tubo army has lost, unless there is a major change, the battle of Tocharo, the Tubo army will be defeated.
Shang Xi Dongzan was already desperate, but the letter sent by the Great Cannibal made him see a glimmer of hope in his desperate heart, this is a major change, and the alliance with the Great Eclipse Army is indeed a glimmer of hope to defeat the Tang Army.
Shang Xi Dongzan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart any longer, and hurriedly asked Zarik: "Your Caliph Your Majesty didn't say how to unite in the letter, I want to know the details." β
Zarik smiled, "General, the details are in our chests, if the Tibetan army agrees to unite, we will naturally tell the general the details, if we don't agree to the union, it makes no sense to write it in the letter, does the general say that this is the truth?" β
"I see, then I want to know, after defeating the Tang army, how to distribute Tocharo?"
Zarik said with a smile: "The Great Cannibal should not Tocharo, the Great Eclipse should have Sindh and Punjab, the Transoxiana region, all the way to the Green Mountains, and Tubo can have Tocharian as well as Anxi and Beiting, this is the bottom line of His Majesty the Caliph." β
Shang Xi Dongzan frowned, the big cannibal has such a big appetite that he has to occupy even the broken leaves, but he also understands that the big cannibal is not a believer [***], if it is not such a big ambition, it is not a big cannibal.
In fact, Shang Xi Dongzan also knows that the Great Cannibal will not give Tocharian to himself, and after they jointly defeat the Tang Army, the next is the war between the Great Food and Tubo, but they have common interests to defeat the Tang Army together.
Shang Xi Dongzan nodded and agreed to Mansour's intention to cooperate, "Okay! I agree to cooperate with your majesty to defeat the Don army together. β
Seeing that he agreed, Shalik told the details of the cooperation, and ten days later, on the night of the full moon, the Great Eclipse Army would cross the Amu Darya River and attack the Don army from behind.
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ Shangxi Dongzan placed the Great Food Messenger, and then took a team of soldiers to Lancheng a hundred miles away, Lancheng is the station of another Tubo general Shang Jiasu, 80,000 Tubo troops are stationed here, this is Shangxi Dongzan is the most nostalgic place, originally Zampu led 80,000 troops to support, but did not expect a sudden assassination, to Zampu killed, but also split the Tubo army.
Shang Jiasu was originally a defeated general of the Tang army, and the 50,000 army was wiped out in the end of the city, and he was not qualified to lead the troops at all, but by mistake, these 80,000 people became his subordinates, which made Shang Xidongzan hate it to the root, but he was helpless.
Originally, he had an army of 100,000, which surpassed Shang Jiasu's strength, and he could still suppress people with his strength, but since the 40,000 troops in Bushi City were annihilated by the whole army, his confidence was gone, and he became a weak party, so he could only deign to come to Shang Jiasu to negotiate.
Entered Lancheng, came to Shang Jiasu's military office, a soldier went in to report, Shang Xi Dongzan stood in front of the steps and waited, but he waited left and right, waited for half an hour, Shang Jiasu still refused to see him, Shang Xi Dongzan was furious, turned around and left, he just took two steps, an officer walked out, shouted to him: "General Shang Xi Dongzan, my general is invited!" β
Shang Xi Dongzan had to suppress the anger in his heart, and followed the officer into the military office, and the officer explained with a smile: "My general is not in good health, and he was treating his illness just now, so General Shang Xi Dongzan has been waiting for a long time. β
Shang Xidong snorted heavily, without saying a word, but after walking for a long time, he still didn't see Shang Jiasu's room, and he found out that this house was actually a Han people's house, rockery fish ponds, pavilions and pavilions, particularly exquisite and chic, full of flowers and trees everywhere, and a lush scene in front of him.
Shang Xi Dongzan's brows became more and more wrinkled, he felt that Shang Jiasu's residence was a little too exquisite, walked through a long corridor, came to a hall, a smell of fat powder came to his face, Shang Xi Dongzan was about to enter the door, but suddenly stopped, the scene in front of him made him a little stunned.
I saw that the room was magnificently arranged, the two of them were speechless, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, the wall was hung with gorgeous Shu brocade, rosewood chairs and screens, a table carved from ivory, the table and the ground were full of gold pots and silver bottles, and all kinds of exquisite jade and porcelain could be seen everywhere.
The table was full of wine and food, Shang Jiasu sat on a rosewood chair, surrounded by more than a dozen bewitching women, some sat on his lap, some snuggled up to him, some pinched his shoulders and knocked his back, some poured him wine, fed him vegetables, Shang Jiasu hugged left and right, so unhappy.
There were still a few musicians sitting next to him, playing music, Shang Xi Dongzan suddenly became angry in his heart, what is this, is this still a Tibetan soldier? The Tang army was eyeing the sidelines, and it was about to launch an attack in front of him, but this Shang Jiasu was still spending all day drinking here, and he had no intention of military affairs, no wonder his 50,000 people could not capture the last city of a few thousand people, and finally the whole army was annihilated.
He could no longer restrain the anger in his heart and roared, "Shang Jiasu! Is this what your manager looks like? β
All the women were startled, they all stood up, the music stopped, Shang Jiasu had a gloomy face, drank the wine in his hand, and waved his hand, and the woman and the musician retreated.
Shang Xi Dongzan slowly walked into the house, and said with a cold face: "Now that the enemy is present, you should study military affairs in front of the map, instead of drinking and playing with women here." β
Shang Jiasu glanced at him coldly and said, "General Shang Xi Dongzan, are you teaching me a lesson?" β
"I don't dare to lecture you, but you should at least understand that now is not the time to enjoy."
"Really?" Shang Jiasu showed a mocking smile on his face, and said: "Although I eat better and live better, I still know my duty, I know that I am just a general, and I dare not live in the palace, I don't know who lived in the palace and regarded himself as a king, and he still has the face to teach me." β
"You...."Shang Xi Dongzan was speechless, he did live in the newly repaired palace in Ashu City, which was originally for Zampu to live, but after Zampu died, Shang Xi Dongzan felt that it was a pity that the palace was empty, so he moved in, but he did not enjoy it, in the palace, he was busy with military affairs all day long, and Shang Jiasu's voice and color enjoyment were completely different.
"Although I live in the palace, I am also busy with military affairs, and I am not as indulged in pleasure as you."
"Joke!"
Shang Jiasu slammed the wine glass to the ground, stood up and shouted: "Shang Xi Dongzan, you didn't defend secretly, which led to the tragic death of Zampu, that's all, but you committed the above offense and lived in the palace as a general, what is this?" Do you want to be Zamp? Let's suspect that there is something else going on in Zamp's death.
"You're spewing blood, talking nonsense!"
Shang Xi Dongzan scolded in his mouth, but he couldn't find enough reason to refute Shang Jiasu, no matter what he said, he couldn't occupy the palace if he lived in the palace.
Shang Jiasu was like a dog, making Shang Xi Dongzan crazy, but he himself calmed down, he sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" β
Shang Xi Dongzan then remembered that the purpose of his coming was to persuade Shang Jiasu to unite with him and jointly deal with the Tang army, the two of them together have an army of 140,000, which is enough to compete with the Tang army, and with the strategy of the Great Food Army, they should be able to defeat the Tang army.
Thinking of this, Shang Xi Dongzan's tone softened, and said: "General Shang Jiasu, I came here to hope that the Tubo army can join forces and deal with the Tang army together, please think twice." β
Shang Jiasu was very proud in his heart, almost laughing out loud, Shang Xi Dongzan's tone was so soft, even a few days ago, when he had an army of 100,000, he was very arrogant, and now he only has 60,000 troops, so he softened, this is strength! If he has the advantage of his own forces, he will have to give in.
Shang Jiasu took a sip of wine and said leisurely: "If you want to join forces, you can also do it, I have three conditions, you agree, we will give up the previous suspicions and shake hands." β
Shang Xidong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "General Shang Jiasu, please speak!" β
"The first condition, I don't have enough military food in my hands, I hope that General Shang Xi Dongzan can bring me 200,000 stone of grain within three days, this is one, and secondly, the commander of Tocharian will be changed to me, and you will be the deputy general, first these two conditions, and when I think of the third condition, I will tell you."
Shang Jiasu said it lightly, but Shang Xi Dongzan's face turned black when he heard it, where is this condition, this is clearly to annex his army, he said it well, let himself be a deputy general, I am afraid that once he takes away his military power, the first thing is to kill him, and he also left the third condition, as long as he agrees, he will be whatever he wants to mention.
Shang Xi Dongzan naturally refused to agree, but he wanted to make the last effort, so he said in a deep voice: "General Shang Jiasu, I want to command your army, I'm afraid you won't agree, and similarly, if you want to take my military power, I won't agree, so I hope that we don't adopt this kind of merger-like cooperation, but use another way of cooperation." β
Although Shang Jiasu hated Shang Xi Dongzan to the bone, and wanted to slaughter him now, he also knew that now that the enemy was present, he slaughtered Shang Xi Dongzan, and Shang Xi Dongzan's army would inevitably have internal strife with him, and finally cheapened the Tang army in vain.
He also held back the hatred in his heart and said, "Tell me, what kind of cooperation?" β
"I'll give you 50,000 stone of food, enough for your army to eat for a month, and then we will cooperate with each other to attack the Tang army together."
"Very well, when will you attack?"
"Ten days later, the night of the full moon."
