Chapter 145: The Rebellion and the Divorce
"Pass the order, all the tribes must send special personnel to patrol the area tonight."
Last night, Tuyuhun's loss was not a small number, although an order had already been conveyed today, but listening to the words of Li Xiang and General Qin Qiong just now, there might be something happening tonight, so Prime Minister Midu had to order the surrounding tribes to take strict precautions, and he must not give them a second chance.
"Prime Minister, shouldn't these tribes move south?"
A general stood up and said, no matter how vigilant they are at night, after all, this is within the combat radius of the Tang army, although the mobility of the Tang army on the grassland is not very strong, but if it is in this area, they can still rush over at any time, so let these tribes move south, this should be the best way.
"Do you think I don't want them to move south? But what the bastard said just now was right, our grassland seems to be vast, but in fact, there is only a little place where the water and grass are abundant, if we all move to the south, the contradictions between the tribes will be able to make them fight, and then the Tang army will be able to clean up the mess without much effort. ”
Prime Minister Midu said very helplessly, originally his plan was very effective, that is, to lead an army of 20,000 people, wandering around Liangzhou City, anyway, the Tang army did not dare to come to the grassland before, they were holding back the Tang army here, when the military expenditure of the Tang army is getting higher and higher, and there is no result later, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be unwilling, and at that time they can conclude an agreement with the Tang Dynasty to ensure the safety of the border area.
But now this situation is far from the same thing, this Tang army is different from the previous time, they actually dare to enter the grassland in small groups, and the mobility is still very strong, one night of hard work to kill more than a dozen tribes, if it continues like this, Tuyuhun's army is not enough at all.
No matter where the war is fought, the defending side will always expend the most troops, especially in a place like this with hundreds of miles of front, you have no idea where they will enter the steppe from.
"So what kind of strategy should we take?"
The generals under their command don't know what to do, in the past, they were constantly moving to attack, and then let the Tang army scratch their heads, who knows that now the Tang army has also learned, and because of the loopholes of the Tuyuhun tribes, there are many opportunities for the Tang army.
"Divide your army into three parts, place them in three directions in the south of Liangzhou City, and once our scouts find out about their whereabouts, they will immediately surround them and eat them."
Prime Minister Midu finally issued this order in desperation, but the people under his command felt that the success rate of this method was too low, we only gathered more than 20,000 troops, and at this moment we should report to the rear and ask for more reinforcements, if you want to count on 20,000 people, let alone eat the Tang army, it is good to unite to protect yourself, and now you have to divide the troops, which is a taboo for soldiers.
Although other people have opinions in their hearts, everyone knows that the prime minister is very conceited, and no one can doubt what he decides, if you question it in person, then you just wait to be dealt with by him, anyway, he is the biggest on the front line now.
Liangzhou City.
After Li Xiang returned to the barracks and ordered a mao, he came directly to Zaterk, and now it's time for you to be useful, otherwise you eat so much food from Lao Tzu every day, do you really regard Lao Tzu here as a charity?
When he saw Li Xiang come in, Zaterk was disgusted, although the two had established a cooperative relationship, but thinking of how Li Xiang cheated himself, Zaterk couldn't wait to slaughter Li Xiang and eat it.
"Don't look at me like that, today I followed the general to meet with your Prime Minister, do you know what they think of you?"
Li Xiang found a comfortable place to sit down.
"Don't stir up a wedge between us."
Zaterk said coldly.
"People didn't mention you at all, do I still need to provoke? If they say that you are not important, or that they say bad things about you, then you also have a sense of existence, but people don't mention a word at all, and when I mention it, people don't pick up my stubble at all, how have you been mixed up all these years? ”
Li Xiang's words made Zaterke half angry again, it is indeed as Li Xiang said, no matter how people slander you, you still have a status in others, but now people don't even mention it, they directly treat you as air, and that's how it is to be the most humble person.
"You fart, there's never going to happen like that."
"I swear to God."
When Li Xiang said this, Zaterk's eyes suddenly became empty, although he had many thoughts, but at this moment he had a feeling of wanting to cry, obviously he had made so many contributions to Tuyuhun, but it soon became a thing of the past, and the negotiations between the two sides at the highest level did not mention him, what does this mean? This means that he has been given up.
"Don't be sad, didn't we say yes? In the future, no matter what Tuyuhun looks like, sooner or later there will be a place for you, this is a guarantee I give you, don't cry with a sad face, old men. ”
After breaking Zaterk's psychological embankment, Li Xiang immediately poured a glass of wine for this guy, and also touched it with his own wine glass, which is strange to say, Zaterk used to say that he would not clink glasses with Li Xiang, but now he actually took the wine glass and drank it all, in his opinion, even if Li Xiang is an enemy, it is much stronger than his people.
"I'll write you a few letters, and you find someone to send them out, and these people can give you an internal response."
Li Xiang has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, the reason why he brought this guy here from Chang'an is because he still has this use, if he doesn't write these letters, it is estimated that Li Xiang will have to send someone to dispose of it.
"Are these people reliable?"
When Li Xiang asked this question, Zaterk looked displeased, but Li Xiang also had to ask, your Tuyuhun land is full of ungrateful goods, your current words are useless, that is extremely important, I can't let my people take risks.
"Then send someone to the Duosi tribe first, the head of the tribe is my own uncle......"
Zaterk was also not sure, so he could only pick out the closest tribe......
