787 Two great gifts
Guo Ziyi knew that Zheng Peng was in a bad mood, so he patted him on the shoulder and whispered comforting: "The art of war is cloudy, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, nearly 200,000 Tubo soldiers and civilians besieging Wugula Mountain, we can withstand the enemy's attack, and cause so many casualties, only pay this casualty, even the most demanding imperial historians and counselors can't find fault, and the third brother doesn't have to blame himself." ”
"This is the biggest victory in the history of the Tang Dynasty against Tibet, the third brother, the second brother will be blessed by you, and you will also follow the scenery, hahaha." Cui Xiyi couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Tubo is a big trouble for the Tang Dynasty, and the merger of Tubo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty can be compared with the founding heroes.
Cui Xiyi loves his wife Guo Ketang very much, other people's wives have, he also hopes to give Guo Ketang, since Lu Shu's wife became Mrs. Destiny with her husband, Cui Xiyi, the crazy demon Cui Xiyi, has been working hard for Guo Ketang's fate, and has made a lot of meritorious contributions in the front, and promotion is not a problem, but it is difficult to be promoted, and he has no confidence to seek an identity for Guo Ketang.
After the first battle of Wugula Mountain, Cui Xiyi was full of confidence.
After defeating Tibet, he can't be promoted, which is simply intolerable.
Even Lan Duo also spoke: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, Zheng Peng, you have done your best, you can't be harsh on yourself." ”
With only 10,000 people, he survived under the siege of 20 times the enemy, and he could destroy nearly 100,000 enemies, which is enough to boast of for a lifetime, but Zheng Peng is still a little dissatisfied.
Lan Duo knew that Zheng Peng thought that he had missed the rainy season in Tibet, although he woke up in time, but he regretted it many times later, because he thought that if he was a little more careful, he could greatly reduce the casualties of the Western Army, which was a bit nitpicking.
Zheng Peng also thought about it, and said: "The county lord is reasonable, some of them are doing their best, obeying the destiny of heaven, count them as blessed, everyone is also tired, let the guy cook a few more dishes to celebrate." ”
Everyone cheered, and then under Guo Ziyi's arrangement, the camping camp, the bonfire of the bonfire, the placement of the prisoners, and the vigilance of the guard, all of a sudden were busy, and many people were in a good mood while working, and now they have become a sea of joy.
Zheng Penggang sat down next to the temporary camp of the Chinese army, and a military commander hurriedly ran over to report: "General, the Kuro patriarch of the Qarlu tribe asks to see him, saying that he wants to give the general two big gifts. ”
After Zheng Peng finished speaking, he immediately corrected: "Please." ”
Kuro led his people, appeared at the critical juncture of the expedition to the west, Zheng Peng could see clearly on the mountain, after entering the battle, Kuro led the clansmen to fight hard, as the patriarch of Kuro is the first soldier, has been rushing to the front line, frantically attacking the Tubo army, after the Tubo army retreated, he couldn't care about the old with Zheng Peng, and led people to chase and suppress, expand the results.
Zheng Peng also wanted to find a time to express his gratitude, but he didn't expect him to come back.
There is also a big gift, is it considered to be a good impression in front of yourself?
Thinking about it, Zheng Peng still stood up and waited at the camp gate to show his respect for Kuro.
Soon, Kuro strode over under the leadership of his personal guards, saw Zheng Peng from a distance, immediately trotted over, stopped about a zhang away from Zheng Peng, and respectfully knelt down on one knee: "Sin General Kuro, meet General Zheng." ”
In the past, Kuro was the future patriarch of Ge Lulu, with a noble status, and Zheng Peng's sworn brother, and they interacted with each other very casually, but now it is different, Kuro has changed from a "guest" of the Tang Dynasty to a criminal minister, even if he returns to the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to wash away the stain on his body, and Zheng Peng has become the upstart among the upstarts of the Tang Dynasty, and in full view of everyone, etiquette is indispensable.
The general of the defeated army, how can he speak bravely; Traitors, what a shame.
Zheng Peng walked over and picked up Kuro with both hands: "The patriarch knows the way back, that is his own people, if it weren't for the patriarch's timely help, he might have suffered a poisonous hand, I would like to express my gratitude to the patriarch on behalf of the Western Army." ”
Seeing that Zheng Peng wanted to salute, Kuro hurriedly stopped: "General Zheng said that it is his own people, so his own people don't need to be polite, please hurry up." ”
Guo Ziyi shook his head on the side: "It's all old acquaintances, these false courtesies are exempt, let's talk well." ”
For some reason, seeing the brothers who once worshipped each other politely, Guo Ziyi felt a little weird.
Zheng Peng also felt a little strange, and immediately said when he heard the words: "That's a good thing, it's all old acquaintances, and the false etiquette is waived, go, drink celebration wine, and you must have a few drinks tonight." ”
"Drinking?" Kuro's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "I happen to be a little thirsty, and drinking is just what I want, let's go." ”
When Ku Luo was about to enter the big tent of the Chinese army with Zheng Peng, he suddenly found a pair of angry eyes, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, hesitated, and barely squeezed out a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, the county lord is becoming more and more graceful, which is really gratifying." ”
The head was big, and he forgot about this county lord for a while, and Kuro didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Zheng Peng and Guo Ziyi, Kuro asked himself if he could face it calmly, because he only betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and did not betray Zheng Peng and Guo Ziyi, but the Tuqi Shi was different, and used a fake marriage to deeply hurt the Tuqi Shi family.
Lan Duo stared at Kuro coldly, and quickly swept Zheng Peng with the corner of his eye, and found that Zheng Peng's face was very calm, as if nothing had anything to do with him, his pretty face suddenly tightened, and he left the Chinese military camp with a cold snort.
Obviously angry.
After Landuo left, Zheng Peng hurriedly pulled Kuro to sit down, and asked people to bring two pots of wine and some jerky.
Tubo was not rich in products, and after being surrounded for so many days, there was no fresh food, so he could only settle down, and Lan Duo took the initiative to walk away, which made the scene a lot less embarrassing.
Brothers can't do it, but they are still friends, Zheng Peng, Guo Ziyi and Curro drank and talked about a few old words, and quickly put the topic back to the battle, mostly talking about the recent battles and experiences, while talking, Curro suddenly slapped his thigh and said with some regret: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot about the business." ”
"What's the matter?" Guo Ziyi asked a little strangely.
"Two big gifts" Kuro said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Ziyi, there is also a meeting gift for you, and it will be delivered to your camp later." ”
Guo Ziyi is very open: "I don't dare to accept the gifts given by others, but I called Ziyi, okay, this gift has to be accepted." ”
The first three people bowed, it was Guo Ziyi who pulled Kuro in, at that time the two had known each other for a long time and smelled like each other, even now, the two still have a feeling of sympathy for each other, Guo Ziyi is not afraid of Kuro digging a pit for himself, if Kuro wants to harm himself, betraying the Tang Dynasty will be harmed.
The most obvious thing is that Pangong made a mistake, and Kuro and his men have always avoided Zheng Peng and Guo Ziyi, which shows that he is very affectionate.
Some people have known each other for decades or are general friends, and some people can push each other into their hearts and minds after only knowing each other for a short time, Guo Ziyi and Kuro are the latter.
Zheng Peng said with interest: "It seems that this gift is not light, okay, I want to see what kind of gift Brother Kuro can personally escort." ”
Kuro is the kind of person who is shrewd, talks little, and likes to do practical things, knowing that Zheng Peng's character is so sure, it must be something very special or very noble, and Zheng Peng's curiosity has hooked him.
