Chapter 615: Dangerous Moves
Luo Kun and Groni were stunned, looking at each other, Fan Lihua's words shocked them, let them rebel against the Western Turks, how can this be done, you know, they have been submissive to the Western Turks for some years, and it is because of some years that they have a deep understanding of the ferocity and barbarism of the Western Turks, if the Tang Dynasty loses, then what can be done.
In fact, the two of them are like two children who have been beaten and scolded by their parents since they were children, and they already have a psychological shadow, and they are inexplicably afraid of their parents.
But do they have any other options now? If you don't agree, you have to die, and if you agree, there is at least some hope, but Fan Lihua is also worried, what Fan Lihua needs is for them to completely surrender and submit, not to the wall grass with three knives on both sides, if they turn against the water when it comes to the end, it will cause great trouble to Fan Lihua.
When Fan Lihua saw the reaction of the two of them, she knew that they were very afraid of the Western Turks, so she sat down again and said coldly: "Over the years, have you paid tribute to the Western Turks every year a large number of cattle and sheep, or 10,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep every year?" ”
"Now it's 15,000 head a year, 30,000 cattle and sheep. ”
Fan Lihua nodded, and said slowly: "In Datang, a ploughing cow can be sold for 10 to 30 guan, although your cattle are not ploughing cattle, but they are worth at least 10 guan, 3 guan, 15,000 cattle and 15,000 sheep, a total of 195,000 guan, Datang is rich, such a huge country, the annual tax is only more than 3 million guan, do you know how important 190,000 guan is to you, you give it to the Western Turks every year, and no matter what the annual harvest is, even if you can't eat cattle and sheep, you have to pay tribute, Are you willing? ”
Fan Lihua's words were like a sharp knife stabbed into the hearts of the two, piercing the heart, if you want to ask Grony and Luo Kun what dissatisfaction they have with the Western Turks, that is, tribute, the Western Turks are too greedy, constantly expelling them, and constantly asking them to pay tribute to cattle and sheep, as long as the tribute is slightly delayed, the army will immediately press the border, and then a group of Western Turkic soldiers will rob their tribe, if it develops to this point, the loss is not only cattle and sheep, but also robbery, young and strong are snatched away as slaves, women are snatched away as slaves, Reduced to a tool for reproduction and dissipation of desires, the Western Turks were founded by nomadic peoples, and the folk customs were so barbaric and fierce, daring to resist and kill, so these two people would be so afraid of the Western Turks.
Fan Lihua's words aroused the anger of the two, and she continued: "Western Turks...... Ben Shuai knows better than you, they don't take much into account faith and morality, maybe you don't know why Ben Shuai betrayed the Western Turks, Ben Shuai can tell you about it, Ben Shuai was ordered to marry Tubo, was robbed by Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Helu listened to rumors, saying that Ben Shuai collaborated with the enemy and treason, took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and killed Ben Shuai's father and brothers, when Ben Shuai fled back to the Western Turks, Ashina Helu also arrested Ben Shuai, at that time he already knew that Ben Shuai did not collaborate with the enemy and treason, but the big mistake has been made, Ashina Helu decided to make a mistake to the end, and also killed Ben Shuai, but fortunately, King Qiongnan sent someone to save him, and Ben Shuai can live to this day. ”
Luo Kun and Groni looked up at Fan Lihua in surprise, a little stunned, because when Ashina Helu announced to the whole country, he only said that Fan Lihua collaborated with the enemy and treason, and did not say anything else, but he didn't expect that there were so many secret stories in it.
Fan Lihua said leisurely: "Ben Shuai has been working for the Western Turks for many years, but because of a rumor, he ended up like this, do you still want to continue to survive in the Western Turks?" ”
"We ......" Loquin's mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say, and it was clear from his expression that he was shaken, and so was Groni.
Fan Lihua got up slowly, paced back and forth with his hands, and said: "Your tribe was captured by Ben Shuai, this is your calamity, but at the same time it is also your opportunity, if you change to any other Tang general, you can only be a prisoner, but Ben Shuai is willing to give you a chance, as long as you are willing to break the Western Turks with Ben Shuai, that is a great achievement, when the time comes, Ben Shuai will ask for credit for you, and the most fertile pastures in the West Turks will be assigned to you, so that you will not be paid tribute for three years, not only that, our Datang will also send caravans to trade with you, Bring your favorite Datang materials to you, you know, your beef and mutton here, in Datang, is supremely delicious, and the Tang people are happy to trade with you. ”
As soon as they heard that the Tang Dynasty could trade with them, Grooni and Luo Kun's eyes suddenly lit up, this was a great temptation for them, although the Western Turks forbade them to trade with the Tang Dynasty, but they would occasionally secretly conduct some smaller trade with the Tang caravans, the quantity was small, and it was not easy to be discovered, they liked all the materials of the Tang Dynasty, the spirits could make them not afraid of the cold in the harsh winter, the cotton clothes of the Tang Dynasty were also warmer than animal skins, and the silk and ceramics of the Tang Dynasty were the favorite things of the nobles in their tribes, There are also toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, matches, green salt, etc., these are all good things they dream of, they can imagine that if they trade with the Tang Dynasty, with these things, the life of their tribe is simply like the life of a fairy.
Thinking of this, Luo Kun no longer hesitated, nodded vigorously, and said: "Okay, the villain is willing to follow Fan Dashuai, return to the Tang Dynasty, and the future of the Mukun tribe is all up to Fan Dashuai!" ”
Seeing this, Grony also hurriedly said: "Fan Dashuai, the villain will also submit to the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, please ask Fan Dashuai to speak well in front of the Tang Emperor." ”
"Well said!" Fan Lihua smiled slightly and said, "Get up, from now on, you are all Ben Shuai's subordinates, and later Ben Shuai will send someone to release all your clansmen and return half of your materials, and after the war is over, all these materials will be returned to you." ”
"Thank you Dashuai Fan!" The two stood up and saluted in unison.
Fan Lihua said again: "You go back and prepare first, just camp next to the military camp to rest, and tomorrow the Japanese marshal will send you a task." ”
"Yes!" The two of them excitedly took their orders and left, but they didn't expect that this time not only did they not die, but they could also take refuge in the rich Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is that there is Fan Lihua as the introducer, they are secretly glad that this time it is Fan Lihua who leads the troops, and if they want to be replaced by other Tang generals, they will be finished.
As soon as the two of them left, Fan Shui suddenly entered the tent and reported: "Grand Administrator, there is a person dressed as a Western Turk outside the camp, claiming to be a spy sent to the Western Turks by King Qiongnan, and he has come to deliver military information to the Grand Administrator. ”
"Oh?" Fan Lihua raised her eyebrows, spread her hands and said, "Bring him to see me." ”
"Yes!"
After a while, Fan Shui walked into the tent with a young man with brown hair and blue eyes, and after the young man entered the tent, he gave Fan Lihua a military salute unique to the special combat team, and said, "Vulture greets Chief Fan!" ”
When Fan Lihua saw this person, she only felt a little familiar, but where she had seen it, she couldn't remember, she got up and looked at the vulture suspiciously, and asked, "Are you the person of King Qiongnan?" ”
"Back to Manager Fan, yes, the vulture is one of the earliest members of the Flying Eagle Special Combat Team in the Qiongnan Palace, and when the prince took us to rescue the Chief Manager Fan in the ancient city of Loulan, the vulture was also among them."
Fan Lihua suddenly felt familiar when she heard this, no wonder she felt familiar, she had indeed seen it, but there were dozens of people in the special combat team at that time, and after many years, she couldn't remember it for a while.
Fan Lihua nodded, spread her hands and said, "Please take a seat." ”
"The vulture doesn't dare, the vulture just came to report the situation of the Western Turkic army to General Manager Fan, and left after the report, leaving for too long, for fear of being discovered."
Fan Lihua nodded helplessly: "Okay, you say, what is the military situation?" ”
The vulture said quickly: "Ashina Shabi led 50,000 troops from the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and there are still two hundred miles away from here, and Ge Biluo led 50,000 troops from the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, which is also two hundred miles away, the two armies want to outflank Fan Dashuai before and after, please be careful with Fan Dahuai, and at the same time, Yang Dingguo led 20,000 troops to guard Xinyuan, and there are only 30,000 troops left in the Sanmi Mountain Royal Court. ”
Although he spoke quickly, his words were very clear, and Fan Lihua remembered them all after listening to them once, and nodded: "Okay, I know, thank you very much." ”
"The villain has retired, if there is a new military situation, the villain will come to report!" After the vulture finished speaking, he saluted and withdrew from the tooth tent, and Fan Shui personally sent him out of the camp.
When Fan Shui returned to the tent, he saw Fan Lihua sitting in front of the military case, sitting straight, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleepy, but Fan Shui knew that she was not sleepy, but she was planning tactics and marching routes in her mind.
Fan Lihua has a very special talent, no matter what map, you can remember it all by looking at it once, not only that, but she can also build a three-dimensional image in her brain through the map, all mountains and rivers, all in one place, as long as the map she looks at is correct, the three-dimensional image constructed in her brain is almost the same as the real terrain, not to mention, the terrain of the Western Turks, she knows it well, and now she is thinking about tactics and marching routes.
Fan Shui stood aside, not daring to quarrel with her, and after a while, Fan Lihua suddenly opened her eyes, got up and said, "Pass my military order, let the army prepare, and get up early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes!" Fan Shui took the order loudly and left.
Early the next morning, Groni and Lokun led all the people of their tribe to leave Fan Lihua's army and return to their original tribes, living as usual, and Fan Lihua gave them the same order, because it was not yet time to use them.
And Fan Lihua and their army have already pulled up, passing by the Mukun tribe, heading to the northwest, where the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains is located, the former land of the West and Mi Kingdom, only two hundred miles away from Xinyuan.
Qin Huaiyu originally thought that Fan Lihua was preparing to attack Xinyuan, but gradually he found that it was wrong, Fan Lihua's marching direction was not towards Xinyuan, but towards the Tianshan Mountains, seven days later, the army entered the Tianshan Mountains, and the terrain of the mountains here is very bad, only a few hundred zhang between the two mountains, forming a zigzag and bifurcated canyon, like a river, because it is like a river, on the military map, it is called the meandering canyon.
Fan Lihua actually ordered to camp in the canyon, Qin Huaiyu was stunned when he heard this military order, and hurriedly came to find Fan Lihua, and said excitedly: "Boss, this is a dangerous place for soldiers, it is very easy to be ambushed or besieged, and you can't stay here for a long time." ”
Fan Lihua raised her head slightly, and said proudly: "This general manager knows, you can rest assured, this general manager is a dangerous move, that is, relying on the dangerous terrain here to bury the Western Turkic army here!" ”
