Chapter 238: Scold me
Cheng Biting Jin leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and wanted to rest.
It didn't take long for him to feel unwell, and no matter how much he adjusted his position, he couldn't sleep peacefully because of the ropes.
Just when Zhang Gongjin had just made a record.
Cheng Yanjin walked in with a red face.
Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile, "Why did Master Cheng come out?" ”
Cheng Yanjin waved his hand with palpitations and said, "Master Li, don't be sarcastic about me, that house is really not a place for people." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shou with admiration on his face, and said with emotion: "Lord Zhen is really powerful, how can anyone come up with this method..."
"No, it's not something that a single person can come up with."
"Not really."
Qin Shou's head is full of black lines, isn't it, General Cheng, are you scolding me by changing the law?
"General Cheng, what are you saying..."
Cheng Yanjin laughed, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What's the matter, has this kid Tuli Khan done all the tricks?" ”
"It's all here." Zhang Gongjin picked up the paper and shook it, and then handed it to Cheng Yanjin.
Cheng Yanjin looked at it after taking it, and his face became more and more ugly.
After a long time, Cheng Biting Jin scolded and said: "His grandmother's, which rabbit cub is this, and he actually told us about our plan to send troops in such detail." ”
"This dog's day Jieli Khan has figured out every route of our troops, and is waiting for us to send troops, so they can ambush them."
As soon as these words came out, the tent also fell silent.
At present, it is indeed planned to be exposed, but the most worrying thing is that it has not yet been found out who the traitor is, which is one of the reasons why Li Jing did not move.
After a long time, Zhang Gongjin suddenly spoke: "Generals, since our plan has been known to the Turks, it is better for us to come up with a plan. ”
"How about repeating it again, just like it did at the mouth of the gorge before?"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shoudang interrupted: "This method is not appropriate. ”
"At this time, we have captured the Turki Khan, and the news must have been known by the Jieli Khan by now. Naturally, he would also know the news that the plan had been revealed. Therefore, in the arrangement, there will definitely be changes. ”
"And at the mouth of the gorge, we were able to win because they didn't know that the plan was revealed, so they were caught off guard."
"There is no possibility of a repeat of this approach."
After the words settled, the tent fell silent again.
Li Jing squinted at Qin Shou without any expression on his face.
A few days ago, Qin Shou discussed the plan with Li Jing late at night, and did not tell anyone else.
So at this time, only these two people knew the marching plan.
It's just a pity that in the "Chronicle of Chang'an" there is no mention of who the traitor is.
"But with the captive of the Turki Khan, presumably the Turkic side will also be out of order." Cheng Yanjin could only comfort everyone like this and said.
Zhang Gongjin echoed when he heard this, "Yes, as long as the Turkic Khan is used as a bargaining chip, the Turkic side will naturally fall into a disadvantage." ”
However, Li Jing's face stiffened, and he said in a deep voice: "This Tuli Khan may not be a good bargaining chip. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Gongjin's smiles immediately froze.
Cheng Yanjin laughed when he heard this, and said, "Doesn't Jieli Khan care about the life and death of Tuli Khan?" ”
And Zhang Gongjin hurriedly asked: "General Li, how do you say this?" ”
Li Jing took a deep breath, his face a little solemn.
He often fought with the Turks, so he knew more about the affairs between the Turks than Cheng Yanjin.
The Tuli Khan and the Jieli Khan had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and both of them wished that the other would die, and then they would do it themselves
Can become the only Great Khan of the steppe.
And this time, the Turks attacked together, and it was also because of the assistance of the Tibetans, and the interests were too great, so they reached cooperation.
But now, the Turki Khan lost a thousand cavalry, and was captured as a prisoner, and his remaining soldiers and horses, even if there are tens of thousands, but without a leader, it will not be able to become a climate on the Turkic side.
It was only a matter of time before it was annexed by Jieli Khan.
Qin Shou gently picked up the map and explained in a soft voice: "The Turks look down on people who are captives, and would rather die in battle than be captured. ”
"So that's why the Tuli Khan was looking for death and life before."
"That's right." Li Jing sighed and said, "We are too optimistic. ”
"If I were Jieli Khan, I would definitely make a big announcement among the Turkic tribes at this moment that the capture of the Turkic Khan by the Tang Army was a disgrace to the Turks, and I would use this to incorporate the tribes and soldiers of the Turki Khan, and in this atmosphere, it would be easy to annex the tribes of the Turkic Khan."
"At that time, the disgrace of the Turkic Khan, does his life and death matter?"
"Will the rest of the soldiers and horses still care about the life and death of the Tuli Khan?"
"On the contrary, Jieli Khan has integrated the army, the hearts of the people are united, and he has become the great khan of the steppe, and his combat power will be stronger."
Cheng Yanjin's face froze, as if he was a little incredulous.
He asked slowly: "According to General Li, after the capture of the Turki Khan, the Turks not only did not want to save him, but regarded him as a disgrace?" ”
Li Jing nodded heavily.
The atmosphere was condensed.
His remarks made everyone in the tent have their original optimistic mentality also converged.
"Fuck it!" Cheng Biting Jin smacked his spat on the ground fiercely, and scolded angrily: "The Tuli Khan is their leader, how can there be a reason why the emperor has been arrested and the courtiers will not go to the rescue?" ”
Qin Shou naturally didn't panic, after all, it had long been recorded in the history books that this battle would be won.
He probably guessed that the reason why Li Jing said this was probably because he saw the capture of the Tuli Khan, and General Cheng thought that he had this bargaining chip, so he was a little too lax.
So, Qin Shou also made a serious look and said: "The cultural customs of the Turkic people are completely different from my Tang Dynasty, and we are ashamed of them, but they don't think so." ”
"The greatest role of the Turki Khan may be to sacrifice the flag with his head in front of the army to boost the morale of our army."
Cheng Yanjin heard this, stood up on the ground, and scolded: "The old man is going to cut this Tuli Khan, there is no use for any fart." ”
Li Jing helplessly held his forehead and stopped him in a loud voice: "General Cheng, don't be impatient, although the Tuli Khan has little effect, it is by no means just a sacrifice flag. ”
"As for his role, we will discuss it later."
"However, this time we captured the Tuli Khan, which also made the Jieli Khan a little scrupled, but we can only delay for some time, and it depends on whether there will be any news from Your Majesty's side in the near future."
Wang Jingjing, who was in charge of "pending" the King of Han, soon came with the news that the people of the Han Wangfu went to the empty building, and Li Yuanchang, the prince of Han, was not in his fiefdom at this time!
This time it is even more solid, and Li Yuanchang, the prince of the Han Dynasty, is suspected of colluding with foreign enemies.
Li Shimin was furious and immediately ordered the arrest of the king of Han.
At this time in the East Palace, Li Chengqian's face was even more ugly when he looked at the secret report in his hand.
The secret report was naturally delivered by Li Yuanchang, and the content on it was very simple: Qin Shou, the prince of praise, captured the Turki Khan.
