Zheng Peng is really not stingy, he got the telescope out, he was angered by the methods and cruel methods of the Tubo scoundrels, benefiting the soldiers guarding the border, and improving the combat power of the Tang Dynasty, that is, Yang Ji They will send them if they don't open their mouths, just hesitate not to be reluctant, but this batch is in a hurry, the style is rough, and I want to get a batch of exquisite ones to give again, listening to them so seriously, I can only give them first.

Good horses, beauties, armor, what can't you get if you have money, Zheng Peng is not short of money at all now, and it's much better to earn a few favors than to ask for those mundane things.

A polo game, 1.2 million yuan, Zheng Peng left 1 million guan at home, and brought 200,000 guan to the Western Regions to prevent accidents, I remember the first time I went to the Western Regions as a deputy supervision envoy, it was to use money to open the way, stand firm, and win the hearts of the army, but I didn't expect the 200,000 guan brought from Chang'an, and it is still intact.

It can only be said that the treatment of the Yulin Army is too good, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, and the drinks and meals can also be reimbursed, no matter where they go, all the supplies are the priority guarantee, and there is no need to reward them heavily, and the soldiers are like hungry beasts, just waiting to make contributions.

The banquet was full of joy and the guests were happy, and Zheng Peng arranged for Yang Ji and others to rest in the camp.

Early the next morning, Li Xiancheng, who had not slept all night, came with good news: After a night of severe torture, a person finally had a psychological breakdown, admitted that they were Tubo, obeyed the command of Tsering, the head of a thousand households, and confessed to participating in more than 10 tragedies, including Wo'er Village.

Li Xiancheng said with some regret: "The person who broke through is called Luosang, just an ordinary soldier, he knows very little, many of them have heard of it, and he has been tortured several times, and there is no more valuable information." ”

"Tsering?" Tang Kuan said in surprise: "He is the son of the Tubo general Ku Dating, if it is him, it can be seen that Tubo attaches great importance to this operation, no wonder it is so difficult, by the way, except for this Luosang, there is no one who is higher than him?" ”

"There is one, a hundred households are long Bo'er Jin, but after he was captured, he said that he was a bandit and didn't say a word, from last night to now, he used more than 20 kinds of torture instruments, tortured him all night, and he didn't snort, he was a dead man." Li Xiancheng said helplessly.

There is a hint of admiration in the helplessness, a mighty and unyielding person like Bo Erjin is an enemy, but he is also worthy of respect.

Huang Cong thought for a while and said with some pity: "It is difficult to make a big difference by relying on the testimony of one person alone, and the Tibetan side will definitely not admit it, unless we catch a convincing figure, such as Tsering or Ku Dating." ”

"Anyway, this is a good start" Yang Ji said happily: "We are too anxious in the front, give the enemy an opportunity, after changing the strategy, the effect is remarkable, I believe that in the near future, we will be able to seek justice, and return the people of the Western Regions a bright future." ”

Zheng Peng and Li Xiancheng nodded yes again and again.

Huang Cong suddenly spoke: "Zheng Qian's cavalry envoy, there is something to persuade you." ”

"Please also ask Mr. Huang to instruct."

"The telescope can be called a magic weapon, the role of the military is very huge, even so big that it can affect the outcome of a battle, I hope you can keep it secret, do not spread it at will, let alone give it away or sell it to irrelevant people, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, the effect is unimaginable."

After a pause, Huang Cong lowered his voice and said, "Especially those ethnic minorities who are affiliated with the Tang Dynasty, they have too much instability. ”

Yang Ji nodded and said: "What Mr. Huang said is very true, these natives, uneducated, not moral, in their bones regard loyalty as worthless, believe in the law of the weak, and push the creed of having milk is the mother to the extreme, maybe one day it will be the opposite, and you have to guard against it, and the invasion of Tibet and the big food is the best example." ”

Regardless of whether it is Tubo or Dashi, when it arrives at the Tang Dynasty, it will pass through many small countries and tribes that are subordinate to the Tang Dynasty or affiliated to the Tang Dynasty, if these forces regard themselves as a part of the Tang Dynasty, there will definitely be no invasion of the Han Dynasty, and this kind of thing will be the result of those small countries and tribes coming from left to right.

Zheng Peng understands that this means that "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different", of course, this "race" is not a single nation, but a large nation with common ideals, common values, and common goals.

"Yang Yushi, General Manager Huang and General Tang rest assured, every telescope is numbered, and every telescope is recorded, and I ask the soldiers below to destroy the telescope and not leave it in the enemy at a critical time." Zheng Peng said with a straight face.

Huang Cong and the others nodded with satisfaction and expressed satisfaction with Zheng Peng's answer.

After a few more discussions, Tang Kuan and his party led the team to leave, taking the thirteen captives away by the way.

Last night, two of the captives were tortured and died.

These people have done a lot of evil deeds, and what they have done is simply outrageous, and they did not spare their hands during the execution, anyway, there are many prisoners this time, and killing one or two of them will also have a deterrent effect.

After Yang Ji left, Li Xiancheng looked at Zheng Peng and said with a serious face: "Zheng Peng, this time, you have the upper hand, you will not admit defeat, wait, you will definitely chase back." ”

"I'll conspire, you contribute, your department has also broken people, let's count it as a tie this time." Zheng Peng doesn't care about winning or losing, and said generously.

The patrol was pretending to be from the Fierce Wolf Battalion, and when they were used as bait, they were shot dead and three wounded, and when they went to catch people, the Fierce Wolf Battalion had several minor injuries.

Li Xiancheng said without looking back: "It is said that if you win a game first, you will win a game first, by the way, thank you for the four telescopes you sent, there will be a good reward in the future." ”

is still so cold and arrogant, as if he was born incompatible with others, and I don't know if it is to avoid suspicion or to be like this, Zheng Peng jokingly said: "Reward? It's easy, I heard that Li Qianqi has a younger sister who is naturally beautiful, how about introducing it? ”

Li Xiancheng stopped suddenly, didn't look back, and didn't speak with Zheng Peng on his back, just when Zheng Peng thought he was angry, he didn't expect Li Xiancheng to suddenly say in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”

"Excuse me, it was just a joke just now, there is a fierce wife at home, and Ling Mei is a daughter, she can't climb high, Li Qianqi must not be angry." Zheng Peng said as he ran away.

You really have to be careful when talking to these people who don't joke, and if you're not careful, you will cause trouble.

Li Xiancheng looked at Zheng Peng who fled in the wilderness with some stunnedness, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but an imperceptible smile soon appeared on his lips: I didn't expect this kid to be afraid, he has the ability, but his mouth is a little cheap.

In the secret camp in Tibet, Tsering, Ku Dating, and Kuro sat quietly at the table, and each other's faces were not very good.

Yesterday, Bo Erjin was ordered to ambush the patrol of Datang, but he did not come back at the specified time, and Kun Dayan had a bad premonition that night, until Kuro brought the information that Bo Erjin and his party were wiped out and more than ten people were captured alive.

After careful care, something happened in the end.

The atmosphere was so dull that it was suffocating, Tsering couldn't hold back at first, and scolded: "Bo'er Jin is a waste, he can't do any trivial things, let him ambush, he's good, he got into someone else's trap, and he didn't even come back, damn it." ”

Kuro said with some concern: "So many people have fallen into the hands of the Tang Army, I am afraid that some people will not be able to stand the torture and betray us all, this, how is this good?" ”

Thinking of Datang's strength and domineering, Kuro trembled a little when he spoke.

Datang's control of the Western Regions and the adoption of the policy of razing and razing are not because Datang is not strong enough, but because Datang has little interest in barren Tubo and is unwilling to spend great efforts to support agent management, and it is not afraid of these agents rebelling, because Datang has enough confidence and strength to take back everything that belongs to it at any time.

Ku Dating soothed: "The young patriarch is a little calm, the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of asking anything, just relying on the testimony of a few small fish and shrimp, we can't make waves, as long as we don't admit it, no one can do anything, in fact, it doesn't matter what we ask, even if Tang Jun doesn't ask, he can guess that the danger of the Western Regions has nothing to do with Tubo, but there is no evidence." ”

"Is there any evidence, does the Tang army dare to go to the blessed land of Tibet?" Tsering added on the side.

Kuro frowned and said: "Tsering Qianhu is right, there is a divine blessed land in Tibet, and the Tang army does not dare to go deeper, the problem is that the Qarlu clan does not have a blessed land, once the matter is revealed, what awaits the Qarlu clan is endless suppression, or even extermination." ”

Tubo is located in the highlands, the land output is limited, the resistance to natural disasters is poor, it is easy to cause famine, their means in the face of famine is not to cut down on food and clothing, but to go out to fight the grass valley, the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions tribes, the Great Food and other forces grabbed a robbery, it can be said that there are countless enemies, and the enemies are surrounded by standing still, that is, it has a blessed land.

The problem is that the Qarluqs don't have the kind of blessed land that can drastically reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Ku Dating didn't speak, and Tsering explained on the side: "Young patriarch, please rest assured, only a very few high-level officials know about the alliance between the nobles and our Tibetans, even if they are close to a certain person, they don't know about it, even if they know the most, Bo'er Jin can't keep the secret, and it won't involve the Qarlu clan." ”

"That's for the best." Kuro let out a long sigh of relief.

However, Ku Dating's words shocked Kuro into a sweat: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, this ambush failure is just the beginning, I have to say, young patriarch, your sworn brother is very difficult to get up, not only persuaded to change the strategy, turn the initiative to attack to strategic defense, but also re-planned the barracks, outposts, and fortresses, plugged a lot of loopholes, and also mobilized villages and tribes to defend together, creating a lot of trouble for us. Looks like it's time to show your hole card. ”

Kuro knew that the hole cards in Ku Dating's mouth referred to the renegade Qarluq, and when he heard this, he was shocked, and quickly forced himself to calm down: "So fast? ”

Once this hole card is used, it means that the Geluo tribe and the Tang Dynasty are completely opposed, and the consequences do not need to be thought about, they will definitely be retaliated by the Tang Dynasty, and they will also become street rats in the Western Regions.

Ku Dating said in a deep voice: "The meaning of the hole card is to play at the most appropriate time, not at the last moment, so that you can get the greatest benefit, if the hole card is known by the opponent, it is not the hole card, the young patriarch, I believe you also know, the Tang Dynasty to the nobles, the recent action is also frequent, right?" ”
