"Gao Xianzhi is majestic in building a city with taxes?"

Ye Chang heard the news and shook his head with a smile.

Gao Xianzhi is too selfish, too greedy, and has no other skills, so he can only do this.

"But Li Juan coped with it properly and gave him a soft nail to touch, and now he is eating and drinking well, but almost all the people around him are scattered." Duan Xiushi hesitated slightly, and then said in a low voice: "General Li's heir wants to meet Ye Zhongcheng. ”

"Gao Xianzhi is like this, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he really should betray his relatives. Li Siye is brave, I have heard of it, you tell him that the battle of Talas is not over yet, he is a warrior, I don't want him to bow down to worship me, let him go to the front, and after this battle, he will raise his eyebrows and come to see me" Ye Chang said.

Duan Xiushi was taken aback: "Ye Zhongcheng, do you want to fight?" ”

"The people of Bahan inquired about the news, Da Shi captured six or seven thousand prisoners of our army, including soldiers, craftsmen, and military doctors, I am the chief general of the army, how can I sit back and watch them be taken away as slaves and maids, and they will never return to their homeland for life?" Ye Chang said awe-inspiringly: "Just to recapture them, you have to fight"

Duan Xiushi was solemn and respectful, at this time, the border town was heavy, and almost did not put the lives of soldiers in his heart, Ge Shuhan could fill the lives of 40,000 people for a stone castle, Xian Yu Zhongtong was in Yunnan, and he could lose 30,000 at a time, and An Lushan was even more unceremoniously buried 70,000 Tang warriors in Tianmen Ridge. It was Gao Xianzhi, if it weren't for the timely reinforcements sent by Ye Chang, I am afraid that the losses this time would have doubled, and Sergeant Hanhu would have lost seventy or eighty thousand people

Only Ye Chang did the opposite, treating the sergeants as siblings, first improving the military medical system to treat the wounded, and then risking his might for these thousands of captives

"I am not talented, I am willing to be the forerunner," he said loudly.

"You are a handsome talent, you should help me strategize, as for the battle array, Li Siye and Bai Xiaode's generation are also." Ye Chang said: "At this time, the big cannibal has entered Talas City, the outside of Talas City is flat, and it is not suitable for our army to fight, I want to lure the big cannibal into the valley, according to your opinion, how should I act?" ”

Duan Xiushi frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly, he slapped his thigh: "I have a plan, but ...... I'm afraid it's a bit risky."

"Say, Is there any one who does not take risks at all?"

"Now the big cannibal may also know that Ye Zhongcheng is here, but Ye Zhongcheng's reputation in Anxi is not prominent, and Zhongcheng has not many troops, and after the big cannibal wins a new victory, he will despise Zhongcheng Zhongcheng, and the Grolu people can be used for the big food, and they can also be used by me."

"Glolu betrayed the Tang Dynasty, only by destroying the clan can we comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers in the sky" Ye Chang's eyes flashed with cold light: "How are you going to use them?" ”

"Not really the Grolo, but the man of Bahan. The Grolu people can rebel against the Tang Dynasty, so the Bahan people can also rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and I will return to the tax to build the city, and there happens to be one thing to report to Ye Zhongcheng to know. ”

Duan Xiushi immediately told Ye Chang about the dispute between Gao Xianzhi and Bahan, among which Li Siye's responsibility, he naturally understated, focusing on Gao Xianzhi's instructions. Ye Chang will know about this matter sooner or later, and instead of Ye Chang going to find trouble with Li Siye, it is better to lay the groundwork earlier.

"Let the person of Bahan go and cry and beg for a big meal, only to say that Gao Xianzhi is cruel and unkind, and they also want to betray me?" Ye Chang perked up when he heard this, this is a good idea, but what he is most afraid of here is one thing, if the person who is Bahan is really doing a fake show and really betraying the Tang Dynasty, then what should it be?

"Therefore, let it be both gracious and mighty. Zhongcheng can know that this time I raised swords with Datang, what I did was the dispute between Shiguo and Bahanna? ”

"I know it." When Ye Chang came to Anxi, how could he not understand these situations.

This time, the two great powers of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food competed, and the fuse was the dispute between the Bahana Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom. Both countries were located in the middle of the river, and Shi and Huang Tuqishi secretly colluded, and Pakhana had territorial disputes with Shi in the process of expansion. Bahanna went to Gao Xianzhi to report the Shi Kingdom, Gao Xianzhi was under the pretext that the Shi Kingdom had no courtesy, broke its capital, and took one of the two kings of the Shi Kingdom to Chang'an as a prisoner, and the prince of Shi Yuanen got away by luck and went to the countries in the river to lobby, and at the same time invited the Dashi army to enter.

After learning that the Great Eclipse army had entered the river, Bahanna immediately asked Gao Xianzhi for help, and under such circumstances, Gao Xianzhi decided to go west, triggering this great battle.

Zhongcheng Xiao said the benefits and disadvantages, so that the people of Bahan understood that the Tang Dynasty could retreat, but Bahan had no way to retreat, so the Tang Dynasty could not retreat back to the east of the Green Ridge and the west of Baoan, and the retreat of Bahan was the extinction of the country and the change of religion. On the contrary, if the Tang Dynasty wins, the land of Shiguo will be half paid to Bahanna, and the meritorious person will be the vice king of Shiguo, so that Bahanna will not have any dissent. Duan Xiushi said.

Ye Chang carefully thought about it, and he also felt that this was probably the best way.

"This matter cannot be handled by others, it must be a public being," Ye Chang said.

"Yes" Duan Xiushi was suddenly happy in his heart, this kind of vertical and horizontal diplomacy technique was indeed his strength, and he responded, very excited.

"Without further ado, if it is too late, then things will change, go and explain to the man of Bahan, that they may go overnight. Now that the Great Cannibal does not know the truth of our army, and the news of Grolu's rebellion has not yet been reported, we must decide this matter within five days without worrying about the rear for the time being, and then we will return to the army."

"Obedience"

Duan Xiushi left as he said, and Ye Chang turned around with his hands behind his back, and his heart was greatly excited.

It was his original plan to lure the Great Cannibal into the mountains and avoid fighting them in the plains, and after learning about Gao Xianzhi's fiasco, he became even more determined in this idea.

The tactical skills of the Tang Dynasty were not the same as those of the Great Cannibals, who had learned some European tactical skills during their long-term war with the Byzantine Empire, such as their application of battle formations, which were more intensive and focused on corps cooperation.

Compared with it, Datang pays more attention to the martial arts of the soldiers and the cooperation of the squad soldiers. On the good side, the Tang army is more flexible in attack and defense, but on the bad side, it is better for the army to fight in a surprise attack and a quick battle, not to hold each other for a long time, and when it is at a disadvantage, it often collapses very quickly, and there is no room for recovery

It's not that Datang's tactics are weaker than Dashi's, it's just that Datang's tactics are formed in a relatively closed environment, and they are a little unsuitable for Dashi's tactics. If the two countries really go to war, Datang will be familiar with the tactical characteristics of Dashi after suffering two or three losses in the early stage, and then it will have the upper hand.

Gao Xianzhi suffered a great loss because of this, he fought with the Great Food outside the city of Talas, and fought for five days, which is a typical way to attack the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings. If it was Ye Chang, even if the strategic goal was not achieved, he would definitely turn around and leave.

Duan Xiu was really good at negotiating, and it didn't take long for him to lead a person from Bahana over: "Zhongcheng, this is the king of Bahanna......"

"The villain is the king of Ningyuan Kingdom, and he was given the surname Dou by the sage, and his name is Zhongjie." The man came up to give Ye Chang a salute.

When Tianbao was three years old, the king of Bahana wrote to Li Longji, asking the country to change its name to Ningyuan, although Anxi is still accustomed to calling it Bahanna, but its country likes to call itself "Ningyuan". The reason why this is so is nothing more than to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to expand its power to the four sides. Like this Talas, although Bahanna and the Stone Kingdom fought for blood, it was actually the territory of the Turgish, but the Turgish was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food, and now it has become a borderless land.

This person can be said to be the driving force behind the battle of Talas, Ye Chang stared at him, saw that his attitude was very respectful, and he did not have any contempt because of his youth, and immediately returned the salute: "The public is a concubine, there is no need to be polite, these days, there is a labor gong to contribute, after this battle, the land around Talas, the public but take it"

Hearing this, Dou Zhongjie was overjoyed. He bowed down again and was grateful: "I, Bian Huye, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty did not think I was vulgar and poor, but gave me the surname of a foreign family, and descended to Princess Heyi." I have received the grace of the Tang Dynasty in my lifetime, and the Tang Dynasty is the country of my parents in Ningyuan, and I and the descendants of future generations will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and sweep away the border land for the Tang Dynasty."

He said these words very smoothly, because he knew that the border generals of the Tang Dynasty loved to listen to these.

Ye Chang frowned, when he heard that a clan girl was named Princess Heyi and married to the Hu man in front of him, he was extremely unhappy.

But now is not the time for this to happen, and it was a matter of Tianbao's three years, and at that time he was not able to make such decisions in the imperial court.

"That being the case, Fang Cai Duan has made it clear to you when he joined the army, right?"

"Make it clear, the villain understands"

"Then do you know how to lure the big cannibal into the scheme?"

Dou Zhongjie's face showed a slight embarrassment, although he had a few calculations in his heart, he was not sure. This time, Yang Duan Xiushi brought him here, firstly, to marry Ye Chang, and secondly, he also wanted to come to discuss a plan.

"Where the big cannibals live, there are many sandy moraine deserts, and only an oasis in the sand can be cultivated. Therefore, the great cannibals mostly rely on business, emphasizing wealth and goods over etiquette, and forgetting their ancestors for obscenity. It is the only way to lure them with profit. Ye Chang said: "My Tang Dynasty is rich all over the world, and there are many skilled craftsmen like stars, papermaking, medicine, silk weaving, porcelain burning, and even the manufacture of military equipment, all of which are eager to eat." I heard that Ziad was also a famous general, and he might not be able to lure him with ordinary silk and silk silk or even gold and silver, but he would definitely come to take it with these craftsmen. ”

Dou Zhongjie nodded again and again, Ye Chang's words did reach the bottom of his heart, don't talk about big food, even if he hears these craftsmen, he can't wait to take them.

"If you use the momentum to guide him, you might as well tell him about my discord with Gao Xianzhi. I turned against Gao Xianzhi, and now Gao Xianzhi is in the air for me, and the army is under my command. Gao Xianzhi is the general of Anxi, it is said that there is a 'king of the mountains, the reputation of the king of the mountains, I am here to draw nameless, and young, Ziad heard that I am the commander of the army on behalf of Gao Xianzhi, and I will despise me, thinking that I am not a strong enemy, and I will take advantage of the situation to take"

Dou Zhongjie raised his thumbs with both hands: "Zhongcheng is a clever plan, what is Ziade, it will definitely be a plan"

As he spoke, his eyes rolling as if he had something else to say. Ye Chang frowned slightly: "If someone can't tolerate people, what is the matter with Dou Gong, just say it." ”

"This ......"

Dou Zhongjie glanced at his entourage, and the entourage general presented a cloth bag, poured it out and saw that it was all gems.

"Zhongcheng came from afar, just a local product, not a tribute, please accept it." When Dou Zhongjie said this, he clapped his hands again, Ye Chang nodded slightly to the guards guarding the door, and saw eight young girls, all of whom were beautiful, walking in from outside the door. Dou Zhongjie said again: "Zhongcheng is running around, no one around him can wait, these eight handmaidens, although they are stupid and ugly, but they can still serve people, they are all virgins, please accept Zhongcheng." ”

Ye Chang's expression was straight, he was originally going to refuse, but after thinking about it, Gao Xianzhi was greedy, so the countries in the river bribed him one after another, and if he didn't accept anything, it would be easy to make him suspicious.

"I'll take the gift, there's King Laogui." Ye Chang said a few perfunctory words and sent this Dou Zhongjie away. Dou Zhongjie came out, he was very excited, he had eyes, otherwise he would not have thought of such a means as changing the name of the country, Ye Chang was vaguely dissatisfied with him, of course he knew it very well, but he thought that this kind of dissatisfaction was because of the defeat and anger, as long as he could turn defeat into victory, then this dissatisfaction would definitely change. Coupled with the gifts you give, you may be able to find a big backer

"This Ye Zhongcheng is more difficult to deal with than Gao Xianzhi, but it is much easier to get along with Wang Zhengjian than the Beiting Jiedu, this matter must be done, and this opportunity must not be missed."

He returned to his army, pondered for a while, and then summoned his cronies, and explained in his ear, and when the cronies heard this, their faces changed greatly: "King, this is ...... This is not good, this is a betrayal of the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty is angry, what should it be? ”

"Don't worry, even if the Tang Dynasty is angry, there are still big cannibals to bear." Dou Zhongjie smiled: "You have always been loyal to me, if it is done, I will not treat you badly"

The cronie hesitated for a while, and finally, under the coercion and temptation of Dou Zhongjie, he took a few people to find a small path at night and quietly rushed to Talas City.

In the middle of the night, he came to the outside of the city of Talas, only to see the light of the fire, and everywhere there were tents and fires, where the servant army brought by the great cannibals was far greater than the Tang army. Seeing this, the cronie couldn't help but sigh: "Can you blame the king for deliberately changing the court, seeing this momentum, the Tang army is not as good as more"

He didn't dare to approach directly, so he sent someone to investigate, and after a while, the man brought a person: "You want to see our king?" ”

"Please report to the king of your country, the old man came to visit." Cronies.

"The deceased? If we don't tell you your name, we can't report it, I think you are sneaky, you are not a spy

"No, no, I'm ...... My name is Ada, and I'm from Kulan City. ”

"Kulan City...... You still said that it was not a spy, and it was really sent by the Tang people" The man shouted: "What do you want to do, do you have to assassinate our king?" ”

Ah Lida was a little speechless, he lowered his voice: "Don't shout, I have met with your king once, you go and mention my name, he will know, I have a secret order, I can't delay for too long, you go and report it"

The man looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then turned away. After a long time, I saw dozens of horsemen running out, and Alida was about to meet him, when he suddenly heard an angry shout behind him, he turned back in horror, but found that he didn't know when, more than ten horsemen appeared behind him
