Chapter 504: Conceited and Selfish
The Tang army once again crossed the Tanju Ridge to the city of Suole on the other side of the mountain, because this was the return trip, their fear of the iceberg was much lessened, and through the guidance of the locals and the merchants, they found a relatively easy road on the iceberg.
As soon as the army returned to Suole City, Gao Xianzhi went to find Bian Lingcheng, the overseer who remained here. Since he is not yet a member of the imperial history, he is not qualified to write a report to the emperor. I could only go to the border prison army, and after writing it, I asked him to seal it before sending someone to Chang'an.
He deliberately picked out a small part of the things he snatched from the palace of Sinduo City and gave it to Bian Lingcheng, which made the border supervisor very happy, and said again and again: "It's not a shame that I followed you to this bitter cold place in the green mountains, General Gao is really interesting, I have to call him a high school in advance." ”
Gao Xianzhi waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, Fumeng Zhongcheng is also the Anxi Festival in Hexi, Xianzhi was fortunate enough to lead the expedition this time, thanks to Fumeng Zhongcheng's recommendation." ”
"What's this? The feudal officials should be able to live in it, and his husband is able to observe what he can, but it is okay to bully a turquoise with internal and external troubles, does he have the ability to lead the army thousands of miles through the green mountains to Xiaobolu to fight with the Tubo people? No. When he was the envoy of the festival in Hexi, he had almost no achievements, and he did not dare to lead troops to fight the Tubo people. Even the saint urged him to crusade against Xiao Bolu several times, and he used the excuse that the time was not right, was the time not right? I think I'm afraid of losing the battle! Brother Gao Xian, do you know what the saint said about him? ”
Gao Xianzhi pretended not to be interested, but raised his eyebrows: "How do you evaluate it?" ”
Bian Lingcheng lowered his voice and leaned into his ear and said, "The sage said that he had lost all his strength. Think about it, if a martial artist is exhausted in the eyes of a saint, what qualifications does he have to sit in this position? ”
"Definitely, the border guard." Gao Xianzhi shook his head with a smile and said: "We all know the rules of being an official, Fu Meng Zhongcheng has sat in this position today, as the envoy of the two towns, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, the saint will not take him down." Although the saint said that he had lost all his strength, he did not make a mistake, as long as he did not make a mistake, what reason could I have to replace him? ”
"General Gao, don't worry, the saint will think about this kind of thing, you just have to inherit the meritorious glory you have received. By the way, I almost forgot about it. You hurry up and send someone to write a good report, and after I stamp it, I will send a competent person to Chang'an, which must be the happiest thing for the saint this year. ”
After getting Bian Lingcheng's support, Gao Xianzhi was not so anxious, and said with a smile: "Why should the border supervisor army be in a hurry, we haven't gotten out of this poor mountain and bad water yet, and when we arrive at the Banmi River Post Road, it's not too late to write this report." ”
……
The east bank of the Bomi River is the last stop of the Tang Dynasty on the Green Ridge Post Road, and the clansmen of the Zhiyin Kingdom also came here to greet the Zhiyin warriors who returned from the expedition of the Tang Army.
It's just that the situation of Gayancong's father and son is a bit bleak, and Gayancong's body is placed on a stretcher woven with wooden sticks and rattans, and next to the corpse is placed ice taken from the snowy mountain, in this way to prevent the corpse from decomposing.
On the other stretcher lay Ruoshiro, his face bloodless and his lips pale, especially after learning that his father had died in the city of Salle, his health deteriorated dramatically. Li Siye deliberately sent the medical officer in the Shule army to his side to take care of him, so that this young man finally survived until now.
The eldest sons of the lord of the country, Cha Lostan and Aranda, saw their father lying on the stretcher, staggered over, and the daughter threw herself in front of her father and cried bitterly, and Zha Lostan also threw herself over and howled a few times, and then stood up suddenly, looking around with anger on his face, and suddenly saw his brother who was also lying on the stretcher, and walked over quickly.
Li Siye thought at first that he was going to give the same tears to his younger brother, but he didn't expect him to grab Ruo Luo's chest and start the violent shaking mode: "Ruo Luo, you bastard, how do you take care of your father!" You unscrupulous! ”
If he really blames himself, tears are in his eyes under his shaking, not to mention the pain. A few strong men who carried him hurriedly went up to stop him: "The eldest prince can't be like this, the little prince is also seriously injured, this is the injury he suffered for the lord of the country!" ”
Cha Shugan angrily reprimanded: "You are still arguing for him, I think he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he cares about his own life, so that his father died on the battlefield!" ”
Li Siye watched coldly, when he was dating Jia Yancong before, he didn't pay much attention to the eldest son he raised, and he turned out to be such a garbage goods. If it weren't for the fact that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and didn't dare to go to the battlefield for his father, would Gayan still need to personally lead troops to the battlefield? Isn't the tone in which he came to blame his brother now a portrayal of himself?
They were also going to leave Ruo Lost Luo in the Hidden Division, but now it seems that if Ruo Lost Luo was left behind, it was estimated that Tang Jun would be killed on the back foot.
Of course, Li Siye can take Ruo Shuluo away, even if he is physically disabled and can't go to the battlefield, with Li Siye's current identity and ability, it is no problem to feed such a few idlers. But he didn't just want Ruo Luo to stay in Zhiyin, but also hoped that he could support the entire tribe as the most important node on the southern route of the Silk Road.
However, his brother Cha lost his hand and became the biggest obstacle to Wakashiro's takeover of the Hidden Division. As a friend of the Hidden Division, Li Siye had personally listened to the last words of Jiayancong, and when he was dying, he hoped that Ruo Lost Luo could inherit the position of the lord of the Hidden Country, and hoped that Zha Lost Gan could assist his younger brother, but seeing this now, he felt that Jiayan Cong was really pitiful.
In this situation where the contradiction between the two brothers has already been caused, Li Siye decided to take the initiative to resolve the conflict, not only to make Ruo Luo the lord of the country, but also to complete a careful part of his plan.
That night, everyone camped along the Bomi River, and the size of the Tang army was not only 20,000 when they set out on the expedition, but also nearly 30,000 Tibetan prisoners, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and thousands of troops from the Zhiyin Department to welcome the Tang army. When the stars of the mountains are sprinkled, the bonfires, torches and people along the river disturb as if the stars have fallen to the world.
On the banks of such a lively river, there are always people who have bad intentions, and there are always people who suffer from gains and losses.
Gao Xianzhi took advantage of the beautiful night, and Liu Danyang, the judge of the fate festival, wrote a letter of several thousand words, writing down in detail the difficulties encountered in the start of this war, as well as how Gao Xianzhi overcame the difficulties, how the Tang army fought bravely, how Gao Xianzhi skillfully planned, and how to arrange the town guards. It is guaranteed that after seeing this letter, the saint will be able to make up all the processes of the battle, and only then will he empathize with the hardships of General Gao's victory.
Zha Lossan also took advantage of the beautiful night to call the two people he was usually close to to him, and sighed sadly to the sky and the moon: "My father was most concerned about me when he was there, but unfortunately now that my father is dead on the battlefield, I am not around, and I should inherit my father's will to take over the position of the lord of the country." But if I lose my close relationship with the Tang Army, and this time I personally accompanied my father on the expedition, if the soldiers who followed him and the Tang Army pushed him to be the lord of the hidden country, would I still have a way to live in the future? ”
The two of them persuaded one by one: "The eldest prince must not sit still, as the so-called sky has no two days, and there are no two masters of the country, if you really let Ruo Luo become the lord of the country, how can he not hold a grudge against you." ”
Cha Zangan shook his head bitterly and said, "As you two said, I should do what I want." ”
Another person stepped forward and lowered his voice and advised: "The eldest prince knows that the first strike is stronger, and the second strike will suffer." Now if he is seriously injured, if he has any strengths and weaknesses, no one will suspect anyone else. Taking advantage of the fact that there were many people on the beach of the Bomichuan River tonight, and after everyone was asleep in the second half of the night, he sent a reliable person to the place where he was sleeping, and punched him in the wound a few times, which would definitely kill Huang Quan. ”
Zha Lostan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he asked hypocritically: "After all, he is my brother, so it's not good to do this." ”
"Great prince, there must be no mercy of a woman, if you don't get rid of him today, he will get rid of you in the future."
Zha Shan gritted his teeth hatefully and said: "Okay, both of you go, give me half of his breath until I am out of breath, and in the future I will be the lord of the country, and I will teach the two to be cronies and share the wealth with me." ”
