When Xi Nuoluo Gonglu saw Zheng Peng, he looked a little surprised, but he quickly sighed: "I didn't expect General Zheng to be younger than he imagined, and he was really a hero." ”

Zheng Peng was a little surprised, but he still said with a smile: "I heard that the Great Prime Minister has the title of Tubo Zhuge Liang, whether Zhuge Liang is not easy to say for the time being, but the courage of the Great Minister is by no means comparable to ordinary people." ”

After the vast majority of the people were captured, they were either frightened or anxious, or they looked like they were at home, and it was good to face this Sinoluo Gonglu, not panicked, and even to speak without the slightest difference, as if he was not a prisoner, but a guest who came here as a guest.

"Horizontal is a knife, vertical is a knife, even if you are afraid, it is useless, it is better to look at the point." Sinoluo said calmly.

Zheng Peng looked at Xinuo Luo Gonglu, and said directly: "The prime minister is so calm, he must have a plan in his heart, and they are all people who understand, so don't bother to talk about it, draw a line." ”

Sinuo Luo Gonglu immediately said: "Refreshing, you can help General Zheng take out Tubo at the lowest cost." ”

"That's a good proposal, I don't know what the prime minister wants?" Zheng Peng immediately asked.

It's refreshing to chat with smart people, Xi Nuo Luo Gonglu knows what he wants, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he cuts to the point, Zheng Peng doesn't talk nonsense, and asks him directly what he wants.

Take the initiative to stand up and solve problems for yourself, and you must have something to ask for.

Sino Luo Gonglu obviously had a plan, and said unceremoniously: "Three conditions, one is to issue a pardon for all the crimes of a certain and his family, and promise not to turn over old accounts; the second is to ensure that a person's property is not violated; The last one provides a position with similar power to the Tubo Dynasty, as long as General Zheng agrees, a certain will not only persuade local forces and tribal leaders to submit to the Tang Dynasty, but also organize the New Year for the Tang Dynasty to crusade against those disobedient guys, in a word, a certain original pawn of the Tang Dynasty, to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty. ”

The general trend of Tibet has gone, and Xinuo Luo Gonglu has also thought clearly, while he still has a little use value, he will seek a wealth as much as possible.

Zheng Peng said unhurriedly: "In the battle of Wugula Mountain, the alliance army you organized can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and now there is no army in Tubo that can resist the Tang Dynasty, so it seems that there is no need to spend such a big price on the prime minister." ”

really dares to open his mouth, and Zheng Peng is not so majestic in a position similar to the power of the prime minister.

After Sinuo Luo Gonglu sat down, he took a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth, chewing it and said: "General Zheng, if you guess correctly, now the casualties of the Western Army are more than half, and the most people who can use it are three or four thousand, except for the Western Army, and then rely on a small role like Pu Bajia who can't get on the stage to support the table, I have to admit that it is only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty incorporates Tubo into the territory, but this time can be very long, as long as decades, or it can be very short, maybe half a month, right?" ”

Without waiting for Zheng Peng to reply, Xi Nuoluo Gonglu continued: "General Zheng, there is a saying among you that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country, that's right, the general has achieved an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, but General Zheng can't be here all his life, and he doesn't want his subordinates to be attacked here frequently, this matter is the most suitable to leave to a certain person, as long as you give a little sincerity, it can be easily solved." ”

Zheng Peng frowned lightly and did not answer for a while.

Xinuo Luo Gonglu actually said very reasonably, the casualties of the Western Army are too large, and now there are no more than 4,000 people with combat ability, although Pu Bajia said that he was the first to submit to the Tang Dynasty, but his position is not high, and his prestige is not much, and the new army of the Tang Dynasty he organized is really average in combat effectiveness.

Now the Western Army is still stationed in Tibet, and the battalions are each other's horns, and they are not afraid of anyone making trouble, the question is, what about once the Western Army leaves? Pu Bajia's ability to deal with such a complex situation?

This is Tibet, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and someone will flee after a surprise attack, which is really difficult to deal with.

Zheng Peng thought about it and looked at Guo Ziyi without a trace, Guo Ziyi nodded lightly.

Meaning may talk.

Sinoluo Gonglu made a lot of sense, the place can be taken, but it will be very troublesome to defend.

Zheng Peng pondered for a while, and quickly spoke: "The first and second requests can be agreed, but the third request is impossible. ”

"Why"

"If Tubo wants long-term peace and stability, it must be demolished and rebuilt, presumably the prime minister also knows about the wanted leaf brand, right?"

"I know" Xinuoluo Gonglu nodded and said: "The people wanted above are all the magnates of Tubo, to be precise, most of them are from the Sishang clan, and most of the people executed by General Zheng in the Potala Palace are from the Sishang clan, that is, General Zheng wants to wipe out the deep-rooted magnates in Tubo and support a group of more attentive and obedient upstarts to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

"That's right!" Zheng Peng admitted without hesitation, but quickly added: "Of course, this matter is not absolute, those who have useful value and are sensible can be exceptions." ”

Xinuo Luo Gonglu thought for a while, and asked directly: "If General Zheng successfully gets a Tubo for him, I don't know what General Zheng will do with it?" ”

After saying his own price, he also has to listen to what price Zheng Peng offers.

Zheng Peng said very simply: "I will find an idle position for the prime minister who has no real power, a quiet life and a noble status." ”

Xinuo Luo Gonglu lowered his head and thought about it, and quickly said: "It is rumored in the army that General Zheng is a promise, but this matter is so big, can the imperial court agree?" ”

This is not a trivial matter, although Zheng Peng is said to be the top general of the Western Army, it is still unknown whether he can have the final say.

It is normal for Xinuo Luo Gonglu to have doubts, the life of the whole family cannot be completely believed in themselves with just a few words, Zheng Peng did not say anything, but asked people to take the secret decree and handwritten edict given to him by Li Longji, which can prove that he can handle the affairs related to Tibet with full authority.

When reading the secret decree, Xi Nuoluo Gonglu looked at it very carefully, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, he respectfully returned it to Zheng Peng: "What General Zheng said is not worried, you can rest assured." ”

Zheng Peng was overjoyed: "The prime minister agreed?" ”

After this period of observation, Zheng Peng also saw that Pubajia's reputation and ability were very insufficient, and it was very difficult to rely on him to quickly complete the expedition.

The information said that he had good intentions towards Datang and had solved the disputes and contradictions between Datang and Tubo on the border many times, and was an ideal partner.

Xi Nuo Luo Gonglu hesitated, and said a little embarrassedly: "General Zheng, there is a small request for so-and-so. ”

"Say."

"I saw Lan Ruo being escorted away in a little embarrassment just now, I don't know what the general will do?" Sinoluo asked with some curiosity.

Zheng Peng said unceremoniously: "She is not as interested as Daxiang, and she may soon be rewarded to meritorious soldiers or used as a camp prostitute." ”

Lan Ruo's resentful look impressed Zheng Peng deeply, and he also threatened to take revenge, Zheng Peng would not let this pool of disaster have a chance to harm himself, and was ready to reward the meritorious soldiers, or sell her directly.

Xinuo Luo Gonglu said without changing his face: "Can General Zheng keep it first, if a certain assistant general takes Tubo, please give me this woman?" ”

"I didn't expect the friendship between the prime minister and General Ku Dating to be so good." Zheng Peng said with some vigilance.

"General Zheng misunderstood, he didn't protect him, but wanted to take her as a concubine, he used to mention it to Kuda Ting because of his bad feelings, but now the general didn't take a fancy to it, and it is better to have a wish."

Zheng Peng paused for a moment, looked at the serious Xinuo Luo Gonglu with some surprise, hesitated for a moment, and quickly nodded and said: "I didn't expect the prime minister to be so merciful and cherish the jade, and the book will also have an adult beauty." ”

This Sinuo Luo Gonglu not only saw death make the rudder fast, but this cheek was also first-class thick, and he even had the idea of hitting the daughter of a deceased friend, although Lan Ruo was a famous beauty in Tubo.

After sitting down at Zheng Peng's invitation, he quickly talked to Zheng Peng about how to conquer those disobedient local forces and tribes, so that Guo Ziyi and Kuro on the side looked at each other, and didn't know what to say.

It's the first time I've seen a negotiation so smooth, straightforward, and a little shameless......

The battle of Wugula Mountain has a great relationship, not only attracting the attention of those "wall grass" in Tibet, but also making Li Longji, who is thousands of miles away, anxious, especially knowing that Zheng Peng and his Western Expeditionary Army were trapped in Wugula Mountain, Li Longji has not eaten well and slept well for several days.

is not only worried about the battle situation in Tubo, but also worried about Zheng Peng's accident.

Night has fallen, the lights in the imperial study are bright, and Li Longji is still correcting the recitals.

According to the usual practice, at this time, Li Longji either went to the inner teaching workshop and the pear garden to guide the performance, or turned over the brand of the concubine, and enjoyed the wine and food in the company of the concubine, but Li Longji had no intention of moving in the imperial study at all, even the food sent by the imperial dining room only symbolically moved the chopsticks, and soon threw them aside.

Obviously, Li Longji had something on his mind and couldn't eat.

"Everyone, use more, the dragon body is important." Colliers carefully persuaded.

Li Longji said that he had no appetite, then stood up and walked in front of the window, looked in the direction of the west, and suddenly asked: "There are good Luo Some cities that do not defend, but run out by themselves, what kind of sacrifice to heaven will save people, Zheng Peng has always been not very shrewd, how can he make such a big mistake?" ”

As long as Zheng Peng guards the city, those who are lurking in the Tang Dynasty can be destroyed everywhere and persuaded to surrender, and the new Ximen Fourth Army is also adapting, I believe it will not take long for Tubo to be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji was angry not that Zheng Peng missed the plane, but that Zheng Peng was bold and reckless, and he was more worried about Zheng Peng's safety.

You must know that in Li Longji's heart, Zheng Peng and Fuxing are equated.

Gao Lishi said cautiously: "Everyone, Zheng Peng's kid has always been soft-hearted, he knows that Tubo wants to improve morale through the Heaven Sacrifice Festival, and he wants to crush the conspiracy of the Tubo people with firearms in his hand, so he carelessly fell into an ambush. ”
