Zheng Peng: "Fake? It's not a surface, it's soft and hard, it's cement, and it's not good at all. ”

Qian Erbao: "Boss, the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, presumably Guo Baiqi will understand." ”

Zheng Peng: "But I can't forgive myself, you don't know, if it weren't for my eldest brother sacrificing his life to save me many times, I would have died a long time ago. ”

Qian Erbao: "Since that's the case, then go out and save people?" ”

Zheng Peng: "Cement focuses on defense, and Tubo is a cursed place, anyway, we don't go to that ghost place, and it's not impossible to give them the formula, provided that they show enough sincerity, but the eldest brother is bent on seeking benevolence, I'm worried that he knows how to use such an important thing as a cement formula to change him back to anger, he said that either ride a tall and broad horse and return to his hometown in beautiful clothes, or die vigorously to bury loyal bones everywhere in a green mountain, it is really a dilemma." ”

Qian Erbao: "Guo Baiqi is a hero, saving him back, it may be worse than death for him, it is better to let him donate his life to serve the country, so as to leave a good reputation, boss, you really have a heart, it is better to spend more money and do his future affairs more beautifully, anyway, eighteen years later, Guo Baiqi is a good man." ”

Zheng Peng: "This idea can be considered, forget it, let me think about it." ”

Cardinal: "Uncle, the Tubo candidate is here, and this place must have nothing to do with them, do you want to send someone to sweep this place away?" ”

Zheng Peng: "Don't move for the time being, really sweep this place, even if you want to talk, you can't find anyone, do big things without being informal, stabilize it." ”

......

The people above talked for a while, but the rest was mostly about some useless trivial matters, and after confirming that Zheng Peng and the others were gone, Kuro said a little anxiously: "Ka Lao, what to do, Zheng Peng doesn't seem to want to save people very much." ”

Ka Lao nodded and said: "It's normal, cement is the secret weapon of the Tang Dynasty, even if Zheng Peng has the heart to save people, he must take into account the mood of the Tang Emperor, and if he can't plant himself in it, he will be ruined for a sworn brother, so it's no wonder if he is embarrassed." ”

"What if he really doesn't save people with cement formulas?"

"If you don't save someone, you say that he is ruthless and unjust; Saving people, he will say afterwards that he ignores the country's selfish interests, whether he saves or not, the surname Zheng will not have a good life, who let him be the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of our Tubo, the young patriarch, the surname Zheng once worshipped you, you won't be heartbroken, right? ”

Kuro said with a straight face: "Heartache will not, there may be a little guilt, but brotherhood is already a stranger after the parting, and now each is its master, of course I know which is more important." ”

"That's very good." Ka Lao nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Ka Lao" Kuro hesitated, but still reminded carefully: "Zheng Peng has always been very shrewd, will he deliberately say what he said to us?"

"After you left, they also checked it, and spoke in a low voice, it shouldn't have been found, but it doesn't hurt to find out, if you want to save people, you must give us the formula, as long as you get the formula, even if you suffer a little loss, what if you get the cement formula, it's a great achievement, young patriarch, don't think so highly of Zheng Peng, no matter how smart he is, he is also a mortal, didn't you say that Zheng Peng is a victorious general, invincible, didn't you let us fight the whole army, if he wasn't cunning, he would have been arrested a long time ago, the general of the defeated army, What a brave word. ”

"Understood, Ka Lao."

Two flowers bloom, one on each branch.

After returning to the camp and entering Zheng Peng's barracks, Qian Erbao said anxiously: "Boss, you gave me a look just now and cooperated with you to speak, is there anything strange there?" ”

After Kuro left, Zheng Peng glanced at Qian Erbao, Qian Erbao was a little confused, but he still followed his words.

"I don't know if there's anything weird, but the place was chosen by Kuro, and it definitely won't be that simple, anyway, just a few words, and I'm not tired." Zheng Peng said lightly.

The cardinal, who had rarely spoken, suddenly spoke: "I don't know why, when eating, there is always an uncomfortable feeling, as if someone is staring, I watched for a long time, and I didn't find any problems, I was afraid of startling the snake, so I didn't investigate thoroughly." ”

Zheng Peng nodded and said: "People who practice martial arts, the sixth sense is very keen, if the cardinal girl has this feeling, then there must be something wrong with Xiyuelou." ”

Qian Erbao's eyes rolled, and he whispered: "Boss, when you leave, you said those things, are you going to pit the Tubo people?" ”

"A bunch of barbarians, even they can't pit them, so I still have to mess around?" Zheng Peng said with a disdainful face.

The cardinal glanced at Zheng Peng, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

It is very obvious that Zheng Peng was invited to Xiyue Tower, and he had already lost a lot, he broke off the relationship with Kuro, advanced and retreated in the negotiations, left hope for the enemy, and deliberately put the enemy together after Kuro left, and slowly took the initiative back into his own hands.

Qian Erbao opened his mouth and asked, "Boss, what should I do now, is there anything I need to do with the small ones?" ”

"No, all we have to do now is wait."

"Wait?"

"That's right, wait for the appointment of the imperial court, and wait for Kuro to take the initiative to contact us." Zheng Peng said confidently.

went to Xiyue Tower by himself and exposed his inner thoughts, Kuro and they took the initiative to contact themselves, how could it not expose their inner thoughts, they were worried about Guo Ziyi's safety, but when they learned that Guo Ziyi was safe and Lu Jin was not dead, Zheng Peng's heart was more relaxed.

It's okay, with the importance of Guo Ziyi, Tubo will definitely treat him like an uncle, and it's not bad to consume Tubo's food if he has nothing to do.

Kuro was not only well-informed, but also guessed accurately, three days later, the transfer of Zheng Peng finally came, and the official position of the Thousand Cavalry Envoy of the Yulin Army was retained, and he also served as the deputy superintendent of the Western Regions.

The appointment was personally sent by Yang Ji, the Imperial Commander of the Western Regions, and after the appointment was announced, under Yang Ji's hint, Zheng Peng sent everyone out, and let the cardinals guard the door and not let anyone approach.

It's clear that Yankee has something very important to announce.

"Yang Yushi, there are no outsiders here, just say anything about it." Zheng Peng said while pouring tea for Yang Ji.

Yang Ji glanced at Zheng Peng with some complications, and said, "Zheng Qian's cavalry envoy, you wrote to the emperor and said that you are confident that you will take Tubo within five years?" ”

"That's right," Zheng Peng replied calmly.

To be able to ask this question is obviously from Li Longji, and Zheng Peng has no need to hide it.

"I wonder how sure Zheng Qianqi is?" Yang Ji groaned and asked in a low voice.

In the Sui Dynasty, there was constant conflict with Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was founded for more than 100 years, almost every year to fight, criss-crossed, I don't know how many countries and forces surrendered, but in front of Tubo can not bargain, before and after also sent two princesses and relatives, no way, in the face of the cursed land, there is no way for elite soldiers and strong generals, Yang Ji replaced Zhang Xiaosong as the Western Regions Supervisor Imperial History, but also from the Western Regions officialdom step by step.

As an aspiring person, Yang Ji has been trying to solve the mystery of the curse of Tubo, and he has been studying for many years but has found nothing, Zheng Peng is an outsider, boasting that Haikou will complete the work that his predecessors have not completed for more than 100 years in five years, which is too good to blow.

I wanted to ask Zheng Peng if he was bragging, but he changed his mouth and saved Zheng Peng a little face.

The emperor is not a fool, and the Chinese military officials are not stupid, they can agree to Zheng Peng's request, there must be a place to appreciate or trust Zheng Peng, and the officialdom emphasizes the practice of leaving a line in everything and meeting each other in the future, there is no need to fall out with Zheng Peng.

For now, Zheng Peng is still a celebrity next to the emperor and the son-in-law of the Boling Cui clan.

Zheng Peng had already guessed that Yang Ji would ask a question, and said modestly: "I don't have a big grasp, about seven or eight percent." ”

If you want to succeed, you have to get the support of all parties, and if you want to get the support of others, you have to give them confidence, if you are not afraid of falling into an impression of "arrogant and boundless", Zheng Peng really wants to say that he is 100% sure.

Yang Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Seventy or eighty? This is already very high, Zheng Qianqi, there are no outsiders here, no jokes, right? ”

Oh my God, seventy or eighty percent still say that they are not sure? It's already hugely high.

Not to mention seventy or eighty percent, as long as you can take Tubo and completely solve the big trouble of the Tang Dynasty's westward expansion, even if you are sure that you have one or two percent, it is worth giving it a go.

"Yang Yushi rest assured" Zheng Peng said with a serious face: "I made this matter, if something happens, I will bear it, if there is merit, the credit is indispensable to Yang Yushi." ”

Sensible, too sensible, Yang Ji screamed in his heart, but said on his lips: "I don't dare to think about these credits, but Zheng Qianqi can rest assured, as long as it is beneficial to Datang, I will definitely fully cooperate." ”

The old fritter of officialdom, skillfully accepted Zheng Peng's proposal that he had his own back and had a share in the merits, which was already a bit shameless, and said that he would fully cooperate with what was beneficial to Datang, and he said it nicely, and the overtone in his words was not to think that he could get his support for everything, leaving a lot of room for himself.

Zheng Peng's heart was like a mirror, and he secretly scolded the old fritter in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all, but he was happy: "I am so grateful to be able to get Yang Yushi's help and cooperation, and I am more confident now." ”

Yang Ji politely said a few words, and said directly: "Zheng Qianqi, tell me, how do you want to cooperate?" ”

Finally to the point.

Zheng Peng said unceremoniously: "There are too many things in the Western Regions, and my energy is also limited, so let's explain that I am only responsible for military training, such as defense, political affairs, taxation, foreign affairs, grain and grass collection, and suppression of bandits. ”

"No problem." Yankee said briskly.

Li Longji said in his secret decree that he would fully cooperate with Zheng Peng, but Yang Ji was still afraid that Zheng Peng would seize power and empty himself, so he only listened to Zheng Peng's intention to train the troops and ignore the rest, which was too much in line with Yang Ji's wishes.

Who doesn't know that military training is a chore, so Yang Ji is not happy to practice.

"I want to train an elite army, and I may have to draw people from various military towns, no matter where I pick people, all departments must not stop them, by the way, the supply of grain and grass must also be given priority."

"In order to take Tubo, it is necessary to have a strong army, as it should be."

Zheng Peng thought for a moment and quickly said, "I have two more requirements. ”
