Chapter 814: Exchanging Intelligence
If you want to talk about the exchange of information, the centurion is obviously the most at a loss, the news of the whole thing has not been put over, but some of the news on his own side has been said, after Zhang Jiuli heard these things, he also knew that he could not continue to talk about it, this centurion should be vigilant.
At the moment, he arranged for some of his men, cooked some food for them, and then went to the tent to rest, and after the centurion finished eating, his men also set up camp here, after all, it was already the second half of the night, if they continued to go back, there might be some losses on the way, and the night road was also a challenge for them.
At daybreak, the centurion got up first, and asked his men to go up the hill to deliver the letter.
For this Zhang Jiuli did not stop, there are many kinds of traps on the mountain, if no one reports rashly going up the mountain, or if there is no one from them, then we will wait to be injured along the way.
The first time Zhang Jiuli went up the mountain, more than a dozen of his subordinates lost their lives like this, at that time, it was like Zhang Jiuli was because even if the two parties had already married, it couldn't make Zhang Jiuli feel that they were equal, Zhang Jiuli didn't care at that time, after all, the lives of his subordinates didn't matter, but this time these people in the team were different, especially people like Qian Ping.
If Qian Ping is injured on the mountain, no matter what kind of flowers you say, it is estimated that there will be no way to pass the test.
Qian Pingba had to take advantage of this danger, so they took a short break in the morning, and did not enter the mountain until noon when the people came down from the mountain.
When passing by the checkpoint of Datang, all kinds of procedures are relatively complete, although the soldiers here don't understand what's going on, but they are all released, they also gave Zhang Jiuli a few words, the mountain has been abnormal recently, Zhang Jiuli has not forgotten some of the wine and food given to them by Li Xiang, all of them have been handed over to them, so that these people are also grateful to Dade.
These people are on the mountain all the year round, and they have been deducted from their military salaries by Zhang Jiuli, and they have also brought their military salaries this time, so these people are also very happy, if it weren't for Li Xiang, I don't know when this military salary will come.
When paying these people's military salaries, Zhang Jiuli also felt a chill in his back, fortunately, it was still useful to Li Xiang, if it was useless, just by virtue of your deduction of military salaries, I am afraid you would not know how many times you died.
Li Xiang has always told the people below that being a soldier and fighting is equivalent to tying your head to your belt, if you even use your brain with this money, then you really don't deserve to be a person, including your family, there is no need to continue to live in this world, as long as your family spends this money, then he is not innocent.
When Zhang Jiuli thought of this, he immediately thought of the children in his family, and originally thought that Li Xiang's punishment was too heavy, but thinking about these people who were soldiers in front of him, didn't they have children in their families? If you don't pay a penny for months, how should people live? If you starve to death, can you still say that your children are innocent?
After passing the checkpoint of the Tang Dynasty, the road on the mountain slowly became steeper, and those who sat in the sedan car had to change horses, Qian Ping didn't care about horseback riding, earlier in Chang'an, he was not very good at horseback riding, but following Li Xiang to do things must be fast, if you don't know how to ride a horse, then I'm afraid your errand will have to let others take over.
At this time, Qian Ping also changed into the clothes of an ordinary housekeeper, which is different from others, he is a housekeeper next to Zhang Jiuli, if it is an ordinary housekeeper, I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to ride a horse, you can only walk behind like everyone else.
The people of Tusi didn't care, every time Zhang Jiuli appeared, there were dozens of slaves around him, this time there were a little fewer people going up the mountain, it was said that because the situation was wrong, there were many people below who were arrested, and this time they had to go up the mountain and go back quickly, if it wasn't for the misunderstanding, I'm afraid they would have used the letter directly.
The toast men on the mountain also received this news, they were a little anxious about the things under the mountain, they didn't know what was going on under the mountain, they had already sent several letters to their people, but unfortunately all of them were sunk in the sea, and they originally wanted to send people into the city, but they just received the news, Zhang Jiuli wanted to go up the mountain in person to discuss things with them.
In the past, when the imperial army came, Zhang Jiuli only wrote a letter, but this time it seems that it is really a big deal.
In fact, when Zhang Jiuli didn't go up the mountain, they also knew that this time was different from before, after all, they had already received Zhang Jiuli's letter before, and learned that Li Xiang was going to Nanzhao to pass through here, so these people were also making some preparations, such as arming up for war or something, after all, Li Xiang is a bad guy.
It is said that this guy is going to do it if he doesn't agree with him in Chang'an City, no matter which minister you are, or which family you are, as long as you provoke him, then you will definitely have no good results, how did Tuyuhun start a war with the Tang Dynasty? It was because the prince of Tuyuhun found him that the relationship between the two countries was still like this, let alone their toasts.
Although these toasts usually advertise that their combat effectiveness is very strong, and all kinds of strength are also very strong, but the specific situation is only known to themselves, on the surface they can gather so many troops, but they also have no way to hold on for too long, after all, the productivity on the mountain is limited, these people usually have to have their own work, if you just assemble to fight, the whole cottage will be empty in a few days.
So when Zhang Jiuli wanted to cooperate with them, these people would go along with the river, and they had a comfortable life over the years, and they didn't need to fight outside to have a steady stream of money, anyway, it was the Han people under the mountain who were exploited.
In order to be able to meet Zhang Jiuli as soon as possible, these people did not let Zhang Jiuli go to their official village, if they walked over, it would take at least three or four days, so the four major toasts collectively came out of their own key and met Zhang Jiuli in a small town on the mountain.
Zhang Jiuli and Qian Ping also understood that this was because these people didn't know the situation under the mountain, and they were eager to know the situation under the mountain, so they deigned to run so far.
