After hearing this, Ma Lingcha laughed loudly: "I love to hear this, as an Anxi soldier, if you can't fight ten with one, then you are really weak!" ”

He raised his cloak and turned around, waving his hand to Li Siye beside him: "Go, take me to see the head you have won." ”

The heads captured by Li Siye's department were piled up in the middle of the stable and the sheepfold, and due to the warm weather in the past few days, six hundred human heads were piled up together and began to deteriorate, one by one blue and black hideous, exuding a foul smell of corpses. The smell of sheep dung and horse manure in the vicinity was sufficient, but it mixed with the smell of corpses and reacted, producing another disgusting smell.

Ma Lingcha walked to the pile of people, and subconsciously wanted to cover his nose, but when he thought about how many battles he had experienced as the envoy of a town and the general of the army, and he was used to seeing the corpse mountain and sea of blood, how could he be degraded by the smell of corpses in this area, so he simply carried his hands and endured the discomfort and said with a smile: "Is this the head of those Tubo soldiers?" ”

Li Siye also raised his hand and touched his nose, but when he saw Ma Lingcha's expression, he seemed to be unconscious, and even his superiors ignored the stench, wouldn't it be hypocritical for him to cover his nose again.

He immediately crossed his hands and said: "Qiqi Ma Zhen Envoy, this is indeed the head of the Tubo Army in Tanju Ridge, a total of six hundred and twenty-one, and I also ask the town envoy to send someone to check it." ”

The entourage behind Ma Lingcha is also super endurant, since the envoys are not afraid of smell, they are even more afraid of smell. After Ma Lingcha waved his hand, he took the initiative to participate in the on-site inspection.

However, there are also civilian positions who have never been on the battlefield, and their faces have been sallow by the surging stench, and the blue meridians on their foreheads have burst out, and they can even puff out their mouths and grin, which makes Li Siye quite admired.

Since Li Siye had done anti-nausea training against Zhang Kuo's corpse in the desert devil city, no matter how bloody the scene was, it was a drizzle for him, so his face was still calm. However, in order to take care of the emotions of these civilians, he hurriedly said to Ma Lingcha: "We have captured more than 30 horses, some weapons and armor in this battle, and the envoy of the town of Ma will follow me to watch."

Ma Lingcha's face became more and more red, and he didn't know if he was holding his breath, but he nodded calmly, raised his hand and pointed forward, and waited until he got out of the stinky range, and the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief.

"After the inspection is completed, quickly find a place to bury these heads, it is easy to cause epidemics if they are piled up for too long."

"Whoa."

As soon as Ma Zhen's envoy left, the entourage also fled in a hurry, and a few people couldn't hold it back, so they threw up the wall of the building room.

One of them raised his sleeve and wiped the stains on the corner of his mouth, gasped and said, "It's so stinky, it's worse than the feces that have been pickled for ten years, in fact, I couldn't help it just now." ”

Another person said: "You still can't help it, I just poured into my mouth with overnight food, but I didn't dare to spit it out." ”

As soon as these words came out, two more people leaned against the wall and spit out.

Li Siye led Ma Lingcha to the corner of the seized goods and horses, and Ma Zhen's envoy took the reins of the horse and looked at the horse's teeth, and said with praise: "They are all good horses." But when he stood in front of the mountain of armor and weapons, the chain armor and piercing armor and all kinds of knives and guns were covered with rust, he just frowned: "A pile of broken copper and iron. ”

Li Siye took the opportunity to say from the side: "The Hidden Sect has suffered heavy losses in this battle, and General Gayan is also seriously wounded, so he asked on his behalf if he can send these captures to the Hidden Ministry. ”

"Indeed," Ma Lingcha nodded and said with a wave of his hand, "There is no need to report to the Metropolitan Protectorate, the envoy of this town has allowed it." ”

Ma Lingcha asked him again: "Gayan sent a message from the lord of the country to say that this battle also captured the guard general of Tanju Ridge, Qianzong Gongjuzan, and three hundred Tibetan soldiers?" ”

"That's right, Ma Zhen, please come with me."

In the cellar where Gong Juezan and the three Gui archers were imprisoned where the bracken was kept, Li Siye just lifted the lid of the cellar and asked Ma Lingcha to look at it condescendingly.

The commander of the Tanjuling garrison fort was stripped of his coat, with only a crotch cloth and a red belt wrapped around his waist, and his puffy eyelids squinted and closed with the stimulation of the light. The same was true of the other three shooters, who were led by a hemp rope with the other end tied to an iron ring on the wall.

Ma Lingcha glanced at him condescendingly, then ordered someone to cover the cellar, and he turned his head and asked Li Siye: "Didn't you say that there are three hundred captives?" What about people? ”

Li Siye took two steps back, half-knelt on the ground and crossed his hands: "Ran." ”

"Ran away?" Ma Lingcha stretched out his hand and pondered, and patted Li Siye's shoulder seriously: "Li Siye, you can behead more than 600 levels, which is already a great achievement, so why bother to falsely report the number of prisoners." DID YOU KNOW? Concealment of merit is punishable. ”

"Heiye did not dare to conceal, let alone falsely report, indeed captured 300 people, these four people under the cellar are the Tubo Gui and other soldiers, and the more than 300 people are the Tubo army's mediocre slave soldiers, originally they were all locked in the sheepfold, just because last night when we drank to celebrate, the guards were drunk, and as a result, they ran away. This is the culpability of the degrading position, and the envoy of Ma Zhen is also asked to punish him. ”

Ma Lingcha's expression froze, how could people believe this kind of reason?

"If you steal the captive, what should this guard be guilty of? Why not behead him as an example? ”

It was Li Siye's turn to gasp, and he asked Ma Lingcha tentatively: "It's just a moment of carelessness, you can't behead the public, right?" ”

"What do you say?"

Faced with Ma Lingcha's undoubted expression, Li Siye had no choice but to hold his breath sullenly, stretched out his hand and invited: "Ma Zhen envoy, please take a step to speak, there is something important to do." ”

……

After a while, Ma Lingcha walked out of the grass hall refreshed, turned his head and said to Li Siye, who was following behind him: "What you did is really a bit bold, put such a long line, what if you can't get it back in the future?" ”

Li Siye explained with a smile: "This matter has been thought through and inquired about it. This Gong Juezan is indeed a Tibetan noble, as long as he is alive, the traitor I put back will be like a man every day, and we can use him to do anything for this. ”

Ma Lingcha shook his head with disdain, and said with a smile: "As a border guard of the Tang Dynasty, everything depends on the strength of the battle, and this spy you got is just a small trick, and it may not come in handy." ”

Don't look down on intelligence work? Is the Tang Army already so conceited, all kinds of spy warfare and heart-attacking warfare flourished in the troubled times such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or the Three Kingdoms, but in this prosperous era that seems to be overwhelming in strength, it is bound by the rules?

"Well." Ma Lingcha's voice changed and said: "Your motives are good, and you have used your thoughts, maybe you can really unintentionally insert willows in the future." This captive named Gong Juezan, we just ask, whether you lock him up in the Green Ridge, or let him fend for himself, you are responsible for all the consequences, you have to think about it. ”

Of course, Li Siye's thoughts are clear, this kind of thing is up to you from beginning to end, even if I know, it will definitely not stick to the pan, and I will give you a credit if I mess up, and give you a few sticks if I mess up, and you will weigh it yourself.

Li Siye originally wanted such an attitude, and immediately crossed his hands and said: "The humble profession has been thought out clearly, if there is a mistake, the heir industry will be responsible." ”

"Very good," Ma Lingcha said rather arrogantly, "It is rare to see such a responsible young man as you in the Anxi Army, you should be transferred to an important position, and replace those who have lost their vitality in the corpse position." This matter is over, and you wait patiently, the commendation and appointment of the Metropolitan Protectorate will come down soon, young man, the future is limitless. ”

"Let's go."

Ma Lingze and a group of entourages walked out of the city, these people came with curiosity, and when they went, they looked numb, and they seemed to say in their hearts that this kind of ghost place is enough to come once in a lifetime.

Li Siye led all the soldiers to bow down outside the city gate: "Humble and respectful to send the envoy to Ma Zhen." ”

Dozens of flags swayed in crimson waves, and a team of 100 horses walked along the ridge of the hills away from this desolate and lonely place.

Ma Lingcha looked back at the head of the city and saw a man at the head of the city, waving his arms and high-fives in a fresh posture he had never seen before.

The envoy sighed a lot of emotion and said to the people beside him: "People should have the heart to forge ahead, even if they are treated coldly, they should always be unremitting, otherwise one day when the opportunity comes, you will miss it." As long as he is a pearl, even if he is buried in the soil like Green Mountain, he will one day be able to bloom. ”
