The so-called new city is a new city built by the Khitans.

The Khitans colluded with Li Xian to oppose the Zhou and Tang Dynasty, although they won one victory after another, they were still quite unconfident in their hearts, so they left a back hand for their own clan - Xincheng.

The city was built very secretly, and only a few high-level Khitan officials knew the exact location. The city not only gathered the families of the Khitan soldiers, but also most of the property looted from the Han land.

However, no matter how secret the position is, it can be hidden from others, and it can't be hidden from Cui Geng, who has been recorded by later generations! At the beginning, in the Turkic tooth tent, Cui Geng directly sold this position to Mo Du in the form of a clever plan.

The guards of the new city are not strong, and there are a large number of women and children and gold and silver treasures in it.

Therefore, Mo Xuan was biased towards Da Zhou at that time.

Later, Li Kaigu grabbed the Ratami beads, thinking that he was silently throwing a mouse bogeyman and would never send troops to the Khitan, but in fact, he was completely miscalculated.

What are people afraid of? As soon as the "new city" was introduced, all the families of the Khitan army fell into the hands of Modu. The Khitans who were scared to death didn't dare to be unfavorable to Radamizhu, so it was a big deal that everyone exchanged hostages with each other.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to send troops directly. It's just to hide people's eyes and ears that he didn't say that he would send troops to the new city, but to the barracks state.

Later, Cui Geng was surrounded by Sun Liping's army under the city of Danzhou, and he still sold this news - telling Sun Liping that he already knew the specific location of the new city.

In other words, it is not Sun Wanrong who is now in control of the Khitan military family, but he Cui Geng. Sun Liping defected at this time and realized Cui Geng's feat of breaking a thousand.

Of course, Cui Geng couldn't mention any later records to Di Renjie, but only deduced that he accidentally saved a Khitan and learned the secret

That night, in the city of Danzhou, the governor's office of Qingbian Province.

A few good banquets were set on the table, and the bigwigs with heads and faces in Danzhou drank happily and celebrated the victory.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Zhang Jiujie suddenly said with some displeasure: "So...... Cui Shu already knew the location of the new city, but he told Mo Du, and hid it from us old men? ”

Di Renjie said in a round game: "It's no wonder that Cui's writings are indispensable, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have people who defend against people." If he told us, Li Duozuo would know if he couldn't prepare it. As soon as Li Duozuo knew, the Khitan people also knew, wouldn't this matter be impossible? ”

"By the way, the old man has long looked at Li Duozuo unpleasantly, but Mr. Zhang, you have been helping him speak! I have to say, this time it's your eyes. The wall dragon Chai Yunrui said angrily,

The "Khitan Army" just now was Chai Yunrui's handwriting. He knew that he couldn't fight Li Duozuo politically, so he simply called himself sick and avoided guests. At the same time, he secretly went out of the city, recruited a part of the old army, and today pretended to be a Turkic army, doing the defenders of Danzhou a great favor.

"I'm not...... That's not ...... Alas! ”

Facing the bitter master of the wall dragon, Zhang Jiujie felt deeply ashamed, and he couldn't say anything like "anti-Zhou Futang" in public, so he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Di Renjie changed the topic and said, "Huh...... Chai Shilang has been recruiting the old department outside these days, but it's really hard. ”

"It's not just about recruiting the old department, it's also about ...... Come on, bring it! ”

Chai Yunrui said hello, and someone brought up two Haidongqing who were tied up strongly, and said: "The old man has always wondered how Li Duozuo colluded with the Khitans when the four gates of Danzhou City were closed. After careful investigation, I found out that it was all done through these flat-haired animals. ”

The beggar Zuorong exclaimed: "These condors were all caught by Old Man Chai? Even if we want to catch the Condor, we have to squat for several months in a row, and the ability of the wall dragon is really worthy of its reputation! ”

Chai Yunrui said quite smugly: "What is this? If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Khitan army, the old man would have been able to catch the third one. In the end, the one was injured and fled, but it was cheaper. ”

Zhang Jiujie's heart moved, and said: "It's not cheap to say it's cheap, that Hai Dongqing only lived for a while, and then died in the hands of Cui Shushu......"

Then, he briefly told the story of Cui Geng's "arrow shooting the condor as a divine envoy" at the "Lalang Meeting".

Chai Yunrui said happily: "Cui boy's luck is really good, the old man is convinced!" By the way, Cui boy, come here, now that Mo Du has broken the new city, the defeat of the Khitan is just around the corner, and the old man's errand is almost completed. So...... I'd like to discuss something with you. ”

"I wonder what you're always trying to say?"

"You come here."

Chai Yunrui muttered a few words in Cui Geng's ear, Cui Geng's face was embarrassed, and said, "Isn't it harmful to me that you are old?" Let's not talk about whether I'm really that lucky, this matter has nothing to do with luck at all......"

Wow~~

As soon as the two of them said this, a small school ran in and said, "Everyone, go to the city wall and take a look, the Khitan people seem to be ......."

"How?"

"The camp has been bombed!"

The so-called bombing of the camp refers to the excessive pressure of the soldiers, and finally for some inexplicable reason, the whole army suddenly collapsed.

This kind of thing may sound incredible, but it's not too unusual.

Everyone pondered carefully, the Khitans were defeated repeatedly, and they heard the news that their wives and daughters were captured by Modu, and their morale was extremely low, and it was not impossible to suddenly bomb the camp.

So, under the leadership of Di Renjie, everyone climbed the city tower again, and looked at the Khitan camp in the distance - after a big defeat during the day, the Khitans retreated five miles and camped.

Zhang Jiujie is an old soldier, and after a little look, he shook his head and said, "It's not a bombing camp, it should be the Khitan infighting." ”

Di Renjie said: "Whether it is the bombing of the camp or the internal commotion, according to General Manager Zhang's opinion, how should our army deal with it?" Do you want to send troops right now? ”

Zhang Jiujie thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Now that our army is sure to win, there is no need to take risks, just wait and see what happens." ”

Di Renjie hesitated: "Of course, it is safe to wait and see, but what if Sun Wanrong takes the opportunity to escape?" There are nearly a million Khitans in total, so we can't kill them all, right? One day, he may not be able to make a comeback. ”

This is a problem, and Zhang Jiujie is also hesitant. However, he soon didn't have to worry about this problem, because soon, the firelight and shouts of killing in the Khitan camp all disappeared, and it seemed that the Khitan civil strife had subsided.

People thought to themselves, Sun Wanrong put down the rebellion so quickly? It seems that its strength is higher than everyone imagined, even if Yang Xuanji's army arrives tomorrow, I am afraid that a vicious battle is still indispensable.

However, as it turned out, everyone was wrong.

Early the next morning, before Yang Xuanji's army arrived, the entire Khitan camp had been replaced with the banner of the Great Zhou.

Led by Su Yun, the king of Xi and Li Manfei, the chief of the Fenwen department, including Li Kaigu and Luo Wuting, the generals of the Sudden Convenience Department, the powerful figures of the Khitan tribe knelt down outside the city.

Note that the people did not ask for surrender or uprising, but came to ask for merit.

"The head of the traitor Sun Wanrong is here, and the last general will be lucky not to disgrace his life, and he has come to pay the order!"

What? Lucky not to be dishonored? Suppression? What do you mean?

The soldiers on the city tower didn't know why, so they hurriedly flew to report to Di Renjie. Di Renjie was also confused, and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and the first suspicion was the author Lang Cui Geng.

Cui Geng understood after a little pondering, yes, it must be a problem with his own letter of appointment. But isn't it, the Fubu has been destroyed, and now the Khitan real power figures have their own letters of appointment, and they have all become their own people, what crime can these "undercover agents" have? Instead of being innocent, it is meritorious.

Immediately, he briefly explained the matter of the "letter of appointment".

After hearing this, Chai Yunrui couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not good luck, what else is good luck?" Cui boy, the matter that the old man explained, you will definitely be able to handle it for me, or don't shirk it again. ”

Zhang Jiujie is a veteran of the battlefield, he originally thought that he was broad-minded and would never be jealous of his talents. However, after listening to Cui Geng's explanation, he found that he was completely wrong.

He said sourly: "Cui Shushu, do you know what this matter means to you?" ”

Cui Geng said cautiously: "The matter is urgent, presumably Your Majesty will not blame the lower officials, right?" ”

"Your Majesty won't blame you, but... From now on, I am afraid that you will become the enemy of hundreds of thousands of border troops in my Great Zhou! ”

"What? Hundreds of thousands of enemies of the border army? Don't scare me if you have something to say? ”

Di Renjie interjected with a wry smile: "Manager Zhang's words are not alarmist, Cui Shu, think about it, who pacified this Khitan rebellion?" ”

"Of course, it's the soldiers' lives, and the Turkic reinforcements."

Of course, this is the case, but if the court admits that these letters of appointment are genuine, it cannot be explained in this way. You Cui wrote a person, and with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, he rebelled against all the Khitan nobles except for Sun Wanrong. How can you still use any Great Zhou soldiers and Modu? This work of destroying the Khitan is mainly written by Cui! ”

Zhang Jiujie added on the side: "Okay, we have hundreds of thousands of border military expenses and tens of millions of silver, throwing our heads and spilling blood, but we can't catch up with Cui Shu's mouth, you can talk about it yourself...... Should we find a piece of tofu and kill us? ”

"This ...... That makes sense! Cui Geng said with a bitter face: "That manager Zhang thinks that what should the lower officials do now?" The thousands of people who pointed out that they died without a disease are remembered by hundreds of thousands of people...... Xia Guan really can't stand it! ”

Seeing Cui Geng's sad face, Zhang Jiujie's heart felt a little more comfortable, and said: "The old man can't help it, Cui Shushu, you can ask for more blessings!" Belch...... Of course, you don't have to worry too much, this time Cui Shu has made such a great contribution, won't Your Majesty reward you heavily? Maybe you can directly live in the three grades of the official residence and sit on an equal footing with the general manager. ”

……

……

Zhang Jiujie's conjecture is completely based on common sense, but the politics of Da Zhou are so paradoxical, and every step is beyond everyone's expectations.

After the official document of pacifying the Khitan Lubu Feijie reported to Luoyang, Wu Zetian was overjoyed and made a will.

Li Kaigu and Luo Wuting were meritorious in killing Sun Wanrong, and they were named the Xuanwei generals of the four products of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they became officials in the court. The rest of the Khitan chieftains were able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which can be regarded as making up for their mistakes, and they are not to blame for the past, and they still lead their subordinates.

The two chieftains of the Ya tribe, Qi Si Bi Yu and Qi Zhong Xiang, took a firm stand at the critical moment and gave a heavy reward, and named Qi Si Bi Yu as Xu Guogong and Qi Qi Zhongxiang as Zhenguo Gong.

Behold, Her Majesty is generous to these aliens. In comparison, it is too stingy to treat the soldiers of the Great Zhou.

First of all, Di Renjie, Wu Zetian personally gave a brocade robe, and there were twelve big characters in flying white font on it: "Applying to the government, keeping the Qing diligent, promoting the position, and encouraging the ministers."

And then...... There is no then. Don't you say it's "Li Xiangchen"? made a decree to let Di Renjie regain his appearance. As a result, no, not at all. Co-author Di Renjie made such a great contribution, so he sent away with a robe?

Then there is Zhang Jiujie, who is even worse, he doesn't even have a robe. Wu Zetian gave 100 taels of gold and 50 pieces of brocade as a reward. This is not as good as the reward that Cui Geng gave to the beggar Zuorong at the beginning.

As for Wu Zetian's reward for Cui Geng? There is no mention of it in the decree.

Cui Geng is still like this, let alone all the meritorious soldiers, Her Majesty the Empress has no intention of rewarding at all.

In the past, Wu Zetian had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, but now why did he suddenly change his sex? An ominous premonition lingered in the hearts of the soldiers and even the people of the five states.

On this day, Cui Geng was called over by Di Renjie, handed him an official document, sighed, and said, "Erlang, look at this!" ”

"It's ......"

Cui Geng picked it up and just glanced at it, his face changed drastically, and he said: "Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi, has a holy decree to come to us to investigate and deal with the people who collude with the Khitan?" ”

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Not only that, you go on to look down." ”

Cui Geng read in a low voice: "Cui Geng, the deputy of the prince's left prison gate, will assist, and he will rather be in vain than indulge, and he must wipe out all the collaborators!" After the success, I will definitely reward him heavily! ”

Di Renjie nodded and said meaningfully: "This is the key." Cui Shu, in the future, your reputation will not be under the former Junchen, it is really gratifying! ”
