Chapter 176: "Are You Familiar With This Place?"
Listen to the sentry say you want to see me, say whatever you want to say."
"Yes, General Duan! I have heard of General Duan's name for a long time, and I am convinced that I was defeated by General Duan."
Duan You looked at Tubo Ma Ben Mutu who was standing respectfully in front of him with a playful smile, but he didn't speak, this standard Chang'an official dialect, Duan You was more or less confused when he listened, but it was not something that could be practiced in a short time.
As a veteran who has been fighting with the Tubo people all the year round, and as the envoy of the Jingyuan Army who sits at the core of the Longshan defense line, Duan You has some understanding of the main opponent, the main generals of the five provinces in the eastern border of Tubo.
Although Mu Tuqi and Duan You had not fought before, they had heard of it.
A character who can be a general in Tubo with a civilian background, let alone Tubo, is definitely rare even in the Tang Dynasty.
The ability is good, and the knowledge can also be regarded as a new star of the Tubo Army in the Eastern Territory.
This is a total of more than a month of fighting, from the beginning to the end, although Mutu was almost wiped out, but to be honest, Mutu's command itself really did not have much problem.
The grasp of the battle situation, the command of the battle, and the control of the morale of the soldiers are already above the level, especially in the night battle that night, almost turned the tables in a desperate situation, as can be seen from the amazing casualties of the Changying Army, but he was unlucky, he ran across-
Guo Rong, who played tricks in defensive warfare, Li Yu, who comprehended the essence of attack warfare, a team of engineers composed of craftsmen, and a group of cooks who were no less than the first to enter the camp......
That's a bunch of real perverts, plus an army that no one has ever seen,
But in all fairness, let alone Mutu, even if he is in the same situation, there is a high probability that he will be killed alive by Guo Rong, Li Yu, Luo Chinese, and Liu Yuxi.
It's just that now, this Tibetan general is obviously ready to completely turn his back on Tibet, which is disloyalty.
As a soldier, Duan You actually looks down on this kind of guy who takes the initiative to surrender, in his opinion, if he is really defeated, he will be loyal to the country if he dies on the battlefield, and the other party has not even persuaded him to surrender, so what is it to take refuge directly!
It's just that when he reaches his age, with his experience, he naturally understands the significance of Mu Tu, a Tibetan general, otherwise he would not have helped Guo Rong and Li Yu to convince this Tubo Maben.
After all, the other party, a veteran soldier who has no bottom line, can only deal with an older soldier like himself.
Duan You smiled and said nothing, and Mu Tu, who was a little embarrassed, no longer concealed his purpose.
"Although I was defeated by General Duan, I believe that I am useful to the Tang Dynasty, and General Duan also needs me, if I guess correctly, Xiao Guan should not have been taken by you yet."
"Xiao Guan, it's still there!"
Mutu's eyes immediately sparkled, but ......
"However, there is not much difference now, thanks to the help of Mutu Maben, a letter asking for help, two thousand cavalry and three thousand foot soldiers have been transferred out of Xiao Pass, and they have been completely wiped out, remove these five thousand elites, how many old and weak can Xiao Guan have, one thousand or two thousand?"
"......, Xiao Pass's defenders can still call for help from the rear!"
"Hahaha, Mutuma wouldn't really think that he went to great lengths to lure you to Jingzhou just for your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
Mutu's heart chuckled.
"When you led the army out of Xiao Pass, the cavalry of the three towns of Lingshuo, Jingyuan, and Fengxiang and a part of the Changying Army bypassed Longshan at the same time and moved behind Xiao Pass, and after your cavalry took away the second batch of young men from Yuanzhou, the cavalry of the Three Towns and the Changying Army also drove into Yuanzhou!"
"When you arrived in Jingzhou, the west of Xiao Pass had already been controlled, and Xiao Pass at this time had been completely blocked, if it was attacked, do you think more than a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people could hold on for a few days?"
Mutu, who was originally full of confidence, fell silent all of a sudden.
"But you're really right, it's really useful to keep you, although it's not because of Xiao Guan."
At this moment, Mu Tu's somewhat dark gaze brightened again, as long as there is value, people without value will be abandoned, as long as there is value......
With a smile, Duan You summoned the guards, took out a map from a cowhide bag, and handed it to Mu Tu.
"Is this place familiar?"
Looking at the complicated-looking map in his hand, Mutu was a little confused at first, but when he gradually understood the signs of mountains, rivers, cities, official roads, trails, and campsites, he was extremely surprised.
"Could this be Qinzhou?"
"Yes, this is Qinzhou!"
"How could it be, how could it ......?"
Looking at Mu Tu, who was a little frightened and uncertain, Duan You smiled slightly, he was not as surprised as Mu Tu when he saw this map.
"Don't think about it, this is Qinzhou, as for why it is so detailed, I can't tell you now, in fact, you should understand when you see the map, your value is here!"
"The existence of Qinzhou is a great threat to my Datang, and through Qinzhou Tubo, you can attack Guanzhong at any time, threatening the safety of Chang'an, the heart of my Datang."
"You are a smart person, so I won't talk nonsense to you, don't say anything else, as long as you can take Qinzhou, I don't dare to guarantee you a festival envoy, but if you are obedient and know what you should do, it is still possible to be a defense envoy, as for how far you can do it in the future, it depends on yourself, of course, if you don't want to continue to serve in the army, it's still good to go to Chang'an to be a real rich man!"
"Of course, I'm just relaying it for others, and to be honest, I hate people like you, but you do have value. Go back and think about it, to what extent? By the way, think about what exactly you want for yourself? I'll give you the day's work until noon tomorrow, and I need you to give me an accurate answer."
Waiting for Mutu to leave, Duan You summoned his guards as soon as possible.
"Send someone to tell Li Yu and Guo Rong that the two boys, Mu Tu, Ye Ye has taken it for the two of them, what do you want to do!"
When night fell, the messenger sent by Duan You arrived in front of Li Yu and Guo Rong, who were preparing to attack Xiao Pass outside Xiao Pass, and heard that Old Master Duan had finished Mutu in half a day, Li Yu and Guo Rong returned quickly with Luo Chinese, and appeared in front of Duan You before midnight.
"Okay, I've already told the two of you about Mutu's situation, as for how to decide, it's up to the two of you, Your Majesty's side, I don't think you need to think too much, the key is to see how you use it, Your Majesty trusts you, this is very important."
Looking at the few guys who showed surprise, to be honest, now Duan You also wants to know what tricks Guo Rong and Li Yu will play.
