Chapter 72: Zhang Xiaojing is a talent
But after a fierce battle of ideas, for the sake of the overall situation in front of him, Li Mao still resolutely nodded and agreed to Aguli's request.
"Your Royal Highness King Shou, you believe in your words, but you Tang people have an idiom called to say that there is no basis, I don't know if Your Highness can do it?" Aguli repeatedly made demands, so that Wangcai, who was standing on the sidelines, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Bold, are you a small Turkic general worthy of questioning my Highness? If you agree, you will agree, what kind of certificate do you need, do you want His Highness to write a handwritten letter to you? Can this kind of thing be written down? Out of His Highness's mouth, into your ears, don't you need to think about it? Do you want to die, or do you want to die! ”
After Wangcai finished speaking, he nodded to Li Mao very proudly and begged for approval, and when he saw that Li Mao waved his hand playfully, he immediately retreated to his seat very sensibly.
"Agul, he is right, this king can't give you any proof in this matter, what is needed is mutual trust between you and this king! In fact, with the current situation of your Klanbu, there is only one way to believe in this king, so let's talk about letting you practice spear assassination every day! The reason is very simple, since you want to rush to kill in the future, it can't let you give your life in vain, the beauty of my Datang's long dry spear is that it can play its best in cavalry battles, and the first wave of rushing kills can effectively avoid contact with the enemy's short soldiers, and can kill the opponent to the greatest extent......"
"I understand the humble duty, but my Turkic warriors are good at scimitars, heavy axes and other weapons, Your Highness! So it's not about taking advantage of the shortcomings! ”
"I'm grass...... Pig brains? Is there any contradiction with a few spears on their backs, scimitars, heavy axes, and horses? After the first submachine spear stabbed, don't you know how to draw your knife and continue to cut? Forget it, in your tactical minds, you don't need a shield or anything at all, okay, okay, the rest is your own way! But when it comes to the battlefield, everything has to be under the command of General Wang, and if something like this happens in the future, you Aguli, Nana Yiza knows what the fate is! ”
"Humble knows! However, I would like to ask His Highness a little bit, what is the important task of the Turkic army? ”
"The task is very simple! Slaughter the city! After Li Mao said these two words, Aguli and Nazayi lay there for a long time and didn't dare to gasp! When Li Mao walked into the military tent, they spread their faces on the mud floor.
"It turns out that His Royal Highness King Shou wants us Turkic army to be evil wolves! He Tang Jun was afraid that he would bear the notoriety of slaughtering the people of Tubo, so he let us get started, and when we killed two birds with one stone, we couldn't agree to Aguli's matter! In this way, there will be no friendship between the Turks and Tibetans in the future! ”
"Huh...... Friendship! Nazayi, do you think that the Tibetans have a friendship with us Turks? People of the same race are still fighting each other! Not to mention the Tibetan wild dogs with wolf ambitions! "Then Li Mao, does he have a sincere heart for our Kelan Department? You are not afraid that when the time comes...... ""Afraid! I'm scared! But do we still have a choice for the Klan Ministry today? At least Li Mao, the king of his life, represents the Tang Dynasty in the name of benevolence and righteousness! I believe that Viga can give us a way to live, so it is better to take this opportunity to belong to Li Tang and treat them as our father's country...... Haha......"
After taking care of the two thorns of Aguli and Nazayi, Li Mao, who was sitting in the military tent, was in a particularly refreshing mood, and even the altitude sickness just now seemed to disappear all at once.
"Your Highness! Subordinates are incompetent! Will you punish you? If you hadn't appeared in time to stop Agul and Nazay, I'm afraid these Turkic troops would have ......."
"Brother Xun! You think too much, it's the same for whoever comes to this matter, what they don't dare to do is that if this king doesn't come, at most dozens of people will die, and the result will not change much! A pack of wild wolves abandoned by their owners, as long as there is meat to eat, then they will wag their tails! Remember, wolves are always wolves, and they can't be raised! Before you're completely sure about destroying them, remember to be careful. The great war is coming, so in the next few days, you can train them in the Turkic army! Don't keep holding the general's shelf, treat them as friends, it's not impossible to drink, drink and eat meat if you have nothing to do, the Tang Dynasty can't regulate their Turkic Foreign Legion......"
After Li Mao and Wang Zhongsi said these things, Yang Zhao Yang Guozhong, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly sounded, since he sent him to Jiannan Province in advance to purchase the Chinese medicine Rhodiola rosea, that guy seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no news came back.
And at this time, if it weren't for altitude sickness, I would have completely forgotten about him. "Wangcai, hasn't Yang Zhao written yet?" "Nope! But according to the day, it's almost time to come back, and the snowy saffron villain is indeed very difficult to find after listening to the people below, and His Royal Highness wants such a large amount! Yang Zhao is afraid that it will be ...... for a while."
"It's not this king who forced him, it's his own meritorious service and patting his chest to promise! Forget it, now the time is urgent, don't wait for him, Zhang Xiaojing, you are quite familiar with this time, tomorrow you and Wangcai will lead hundreds of people to find some of this...... Come on this saffron! The more the merrier, whether it is to dig in the mountains or to buy from the Tubo people, the king is willing to pay no matter the price! ”
"Whoa! Your Highness has one more thing to report to you! "Say!" "Your Highness and the Grand Marshal have already decided to attack Tubao City! And just listen to Your Highness, your subordinates seem to have more than just fighting the Earth Fort City! "Yes! Do you still have doubts about this matter? ”
As soon as Li Mao said this, Zhang Xiaojing immediately lowered his head with both hands in fists, as if his disobedience had long since become an untouchable scar.
"Subordinate...... The subordinates don't dare! It's just that what you don't know, Your Highness! Before this, my Tang army had never set foot in the territory of Tubo! And if you rush in this time, your subordinates think that they still need to know themselves and their opponents, so take the matter of grain and grass as an example, and the first difficult thing is to make a fire and cook when the army arrives in Tubo! In addition, although it is autumn at this time, there are already signs of school in Tubao Castle...... Subordinate......"
"I'm grass...... Zhang Xiaojing, you are really a talent! This king is full of thoughts about altitude sickness, but ignores the high pressure and weather! Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise more than 200,000 people in our army would have to gnaw raw meat to live, yes, yes, making a fire to make rice is a problem, and this long cold winter weather is also the key...... Zhang Xiaojing: Do you have any solutions? ”
"This ...... The subordinates only knew that the weather in Tibet was bad, it was extremely difficult to make a fire, and it was difficult to boil even ordinary boiling water, but the subordinates really couldn't come up with a solution to the problem......
"It's okay, it's okay...... It's normal not to think of it, you can put forward such a valuable opinion today is already a great contribution, know yourself and know the enemy! From today onwards, your Zhang Xiaojing Eighth Banner Squad has been promoted to the Iron Guard of the Palace, and your position is the same as that of the Four Great Protectors of this King! Wangcai, you take him down to receive the reward first, Jian Nanchun is fifty catties, and the copper coin is hundred! ”
"Ah...... Does Your Highness want to reward so much? Didn't he come up with a solution? "You talk nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu took your year to ......"
As soon as Li Mao's words came out, Wangcai immediately urged Zhang Xiaojing to run out of the military tent, and although Zhang Xiaojing followed Wangcai all the way and forgot to say the words of thanksgiving, he was still full of fifty catties of good wine and one hundred yuan of money spinning wildly.
"Steward Wang, is that Jiannan Spring Wine the liquor that moved Chang'an City?" "Of course it is, do you know how many copper coins can be exchanged for a pound of wine?" "How much?" "How much! Saying it won't scare you to death! Your 100 yuan reward is not enough for 10 catties of wine, you can calculate it yourself! ”
"Ah...... That's a lot of money! No wonder the handsome man is reluctant to drink! Steward Wang, wait for you to take a pound! "Take it reluctantly, your Highness's temper will be known slowly in the future, but if you please have a few drinks, you can still do it!" "Okay, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, didn't Your Highness still ask me and Steward Wang to go with you to purchase snowy saffron? Just take this opportunity, our brother and Wang Steward, you know more about the rules in the Shouwang Mansion......" "This is true, go...... When I meet the big and small girls, don't talk too much, look at my eyes and act, maybe you can get a few more taels of wine to drink? ”
After the two of them walked away, Li Mao in the military tent was walking back and forth anxiously. Although Wang Zhongsi and Wang Sishen couldn't understand what Li Mao said before, they still knew a little about the severe cold weather and soil hysteria in Tibet.
