383 Large Scales (Plus 1)
Putting aside the knot in my heart, I let go of my mood, there was no combat mission, and there was the escort of the Tubo army, the Zhenbo army and his party were like playing, while hurrying, while enjoying the unique beauty of the plateau.
According to the route set by Hou Junji, take the Doma Road, and then go down the road along the Jishi Mountain, and return along the original route into Tibet, in his words, from Tubo, the grain and grass are naturally provided by them, and there is a special escort, eat and live well, the service is considerate, there is no need to go through the desert to suffer, and there is no need to waste the grain and grass of the government along the way, why not?
Winter goes to spring, the kite flies and the grass grows, the grass is green, the flowers are in full bloom, the birds begin to make noise in the branches, the river is tinkling, even the air smells the pleasant breath of spring, the scenery seems to be a day by day, riding a horse, accompanying the brothers, with the attitude of a victor, galloping on the plateau, it is really a special fun.
Sometimes Liu Yuan secretly regrets, if there is a stunning woman like Zanmeng Saimaga in his arms, it is estimated that the itinerary will be more wonderful, if he can have the final say, that kind of stunning beauty has become his own captive, no amount of silver, it is the most beautiful flower on the Tibetan Plateau, and she is a princess, with a beautiful face, noble temperament, prominent identity, graceful figure and that exotic style, long years of horseback riding and martial arts, more heroic than ordinary and weak women, and the figure is even more proportionate and slender, Arouses a strong desire to conquer.
Liu Yuan was angry, so he forcibly took possession of her, and left behind the decision to give Xiaoniang for the first time, and started to get out of control, and then he took possession many times like the essence of the food, and now in retrospect, Tubo and his party are worth it.
pity
A group of more than 900 people toured the mountains and rivers. And the deputy general of Tubo has also been following behind, protecting, supplying grain and grass, the Zhenbo army has no baggage, plus the soldiers are like arrows, only twelve days, everyone has passed through Jishi Mountain, Jishi Mountain, that is, the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses escorted by Tubo have just said goodbye and returned.
"Xiaoyuan. Remember this canyon? Hou Junji pointed to a canyon and asked Liu Yuandao.
"Of course I remember" Liu Yuan said with certainty: "There was an avalanche here at that time, and I almost buried the Zhenfan army underneath, it was I who discovered the abnormality first and reminded the general to pay attention, right." The general also gave a credit. ”
When I came, there was a thick layer of snow on the top of the mountain on both sides. Now the spring flowers are blooming. The snow melted, and the snow on both sides melted away, revealing the green hills, which were much flattened, and the canyons, because of the snow water. A layer of stagnant water about 20 centimeters high has accumulated on the ground, and the waves are as flat as a mirror, reflecting the green hills on both sides, reflecting each other. It's a pity that things have changed, giving people a sense that things are wrong.
At least, most of the soldiers who went to Tibet fell on a foreign land, and there was no return.
Hou Junji nodded and said: "You remember very clearly, yes, it is this canyon, I didn't expect that when I came back again, it would become like this, but it is a pity that the soldiers of the generals will never see such a beautiful scenery." ”
"Okay," Hou Junji patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Those brothers who died in battle, if they have the ability, they should take care of them." ”
"My subordinates understand."
Through more than ten days of exchanges, Liu Yuan has learned that the capture of the war is originally a confused account, it is possible to capture it today, and it will be lost tomorrow, one is difficult to count, and no one has followed the inventory, Hou Junji said this The purpose of telling Liu Yuan is to tell Liu Yuan that the weapons and armored war horses used in these war items must be sold to the imperial court at a discount, and the rest is just fine, Hou Junji hinted that these soldiers will not investigate thoroughly, which is considered a reward for the soldiers.
The seizure in Maqin was transported back to Datang early in the morning, and it can also be used as a messenger, like what kind of seizure should be divided into half to the imperial court, it was originally a stupid move, and Datang has implemented the government military system for so long, and it will not be abandoned because of this.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, Cheng Huailiang and Hou Junji did not have many seized goods, and the dead eldest grandson Chong still did not, if Liu Yuan handed over too much, it seemed to be a lone show, and the remaining three people were suspected, it would not be good, such a good thing, Liu Yuan naturally happily agreed.
After compensating the fallen soldiers in this way, he can also leave a large sum of money, which can be regarded as a reward for tying his head to his pants and fighting to the death.
By the way, we have to fulfill Chen Zhang's promise.
It was difficult to go up the mountain, but it was very fast to go down the mountain, and after walking for another two days, I finally arrived at the border of Datang.
"General, look, there is the banner of our Datang in front." Just after crossing a small hill, he officially entered the Tang Dynasty, and suddenly the army and barracks of the Tang Dynasty appeared in front of him.
Seeing Hou Junji and his party, a person who looked like an officer hurriedly greeted him, ran in front of Hou Junji, respectfully finished saluting, and said a few words carefully in front of him, Hou Junji nodded again and again, then turned over and dismounted, accompanied by the officer, and went to the camp on the side to rest.
Soon, the herald informed Liu Yuan that the Tang Dynasty had temporarily set up a camp here, and the Tubo weapons and armor captured by the soldiers and the plateau war horses would be sold to the imperial court here and exchanged for silver, and everyone could get a new set of Mingguang armor and Tang weapons and a horse they usually rode for free, and repair it well, so that they could return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and accept Li Er's summons and rewards.
Liu Yuan suddenly realized in his heart when he heard this: it turns out that the Tang Dynasty also likes this set, like the Zhenfan army entered Tubo three months ago, and in the days of more than three months, the food and dew were eaten, and they traveled thousands of miles, sweat and blood, long hair, long beard, and the armor on their bodies was also tattered.
If the people are allowed to see that they are dressed like Hanako and behave like second-rate children, then where will people sign up for conscription in the future?
This is a face-saving project related to Datang's reputation, and naturally it cannot be sloppy.
There is a military department of Shangshu Hou Junji sitting here, and no one dares to embarrass this group of hard-working, murderous Zhenbo army, the process is very smooth, Liu Yuan's three sets of Tubo system weapons and armor (including blood knives and wild wolves), a total of ninety taels of silver, but when changing horses, nine plateau horses were replaced by seven superb plain horses, and the quartermaster estimated it. I have to make up some silver, it is just ninety taels, and Liu Yuan has no opinion.
No in or out, just a tie.
Changed to an armored war horse, according to the order of Hou Junji, rested on the spot, shaved, bathed or something, did not take care of it for three months, one by one like a wild man, and ate the mutton every day. There is a smell of mutton on the body, so it is natural to embellish it well.
Liu Yuanmei took two hot baths in a row, cleaned up well, and then put on the majestic Mingguang armor, and suddenly he was in the bronze mirror. Yes, it's like a shotgun for a gun. It looks like it's also bright. The air is magnificent.
After cleaning up, Hou Junji summoned Liu Yuan to summarize the meeting, in fact, it was to confirm everyone's military merits, so that they could report to the imperial court for meritorious deeds or something, and the credit for destroying the secret forging workshop of Tubo was placed under the name of Changsun Chong. The three credits of burning grain and grass, raising rumors, and capturing the princess are also enough for Liu Yuan to be promoted to the rank of knight; Cheng Huailiang also has a lot of credit, the head of a thousand households killed five, destroyed more than 70 hundred households, and killed more than 30,000 Tubo soldiers.
All the people of Tibet are soldiers. Killing civilians is also considered a soldier, more than 30,000 people, not too much, Liu Yuan has no objection, but killing five thousand household chiefs and destroying more than 70 hundred households, Liu Yuan really doesn't believe it, there are so many people on the Mobei Plateau, the Zhenfan army is divided into four, and Liu Yuan himself smashed more than 100 households, with Liu Yuan's cleverness, he has recently killed Motuo, and it is estimated that it is not much less than Cheng Huailiang, he is good, and he reported more than 70 in one breath, it is estimated that some cities may not have such a scale, and it is really like him Laozi, likes to talk rhetorically, take advantage of no one to supervise as soon as possible, and falsely report military exploits.
If you make a fuss on the pen, you can afford to be desperate for others many times, and it is really a soldier's oil.
Of course, Liu Yuan is not stupid enough to expose these things, Liu Yuan still understands the reason that everyone carries the sedan chair, it is not his own money that is spent, and it is not his turn to worry about it.
The merits of the eldest grandson, because his personal guard was not there, there was no way to verify it, these were all royal affairs, and Liu Yuan decided not to get involved.
After summing up, it is the problem of harvesting, a batch of tributes were paid in Maqin, and now I can't say, how much I have to pay tribute, make a show, after some ventilation, Hou Jun Ji Department handed over more than 50,000 taels of silver, Cheng Huailiang and Liu Yuan one 35,000 taels, one 34,000 taels, finally formed a tacit understanding, no need to have too much, one big less, open the distance, where is it not good to look at Li Er.
Among them, Liu Yuan was the most excited, the previous wealth was lost, and the Tubo people naturally would not return it, but where was the Dazhenba Temple ruthlessly made a large sum, although the tribute was 34,000 taels, it was really just a fraction of the windfall with the treasure of Subi.
It's a big deal.
"General, you're finally back, and I'm waiting for you." As soon as Liu Yuan returned to the camp where he was, Zhao Fu, Zhao Chunlai and others stepped forward to welcome him with a smile one by one.
Tonight is the spoils sharing conference, the windfall from the Dazhenba Temple, is seized by the group, until now, or put together, those guys, every day staring at that bit of money, after all, many people rely on it for the rest of their lives, and every piece in it is a fine product, and each one is worth a lot of money.
Before going to the meeting, Liu Yuan ordered everyone to take it out, estimate the value, calculate the military merits, and wait for himself to come back to reward the merits, divide the windfall, look at their appearance, it is estimated that they have been cleaned up, and when they come back, they can share the spoils.
"Are all the statistics clear?" Liu Yuan asked as he walked.
Zhao Fu said flatteringly: "It's almost all counted, just wait for you to come over and take a look." ”
Liu Yuan nodded, walked straight towards his barracks, and heard Zhao Fu giving death orders to his subordinates to not let people approach.
"General"
"General"
As soon as Liu Yuan came back, the soldiers greeted Liu Yuan with a smile on their faces, and it is estimated that they all knew that there was a silver tonight, a big bowl of wine, and a big share of gold, who didn't like it.
"I remember your name is Wang Qiang, how is it, is that hand okay?" Liu Yuan walked, suddenly stopped, bent down and asked a soldier.
This little guy named Wang Qiang, only seventeen years old, was still a minor boy in later generations, but he fought extremely bravely, his right hand was broken, and he held a knife in his left hand, fighting to the death, which left a very deep impression on Liu Yuan, and it was also from him that Liu Yuan saw the reliance and ambition of the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Qiang said with a nonchalant face: "That hand is broken and broken, but I still have a left hand, don't be afraid." ”
"It's good, it's a man, by the way, you know that Lu Dao wants to divide the gold tonight, Wang Qiang, how much do you think you can share?" Liu Yuan suddenly asked with interest.
"The value of my wealth is two hundred taels, and if I divide another two hundred taels, I will be satisfied, or I will be able to divide one hundred taels." Wang Qiang smiled honestly.
What a simple soldier, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver in it, he only needs to be satisfied with one or two hundred taels if he wants to, Liu Yuan was a little moved, did not speak, touched his head, turned around and entered the barracks, ready to divide the spoils.
