Chapter 2030 They don't quite believe in the strength of the moth trio
One after another, the Qiang and Zhao leaders expressed their willingness to help, but the problem was that they really couldn't help.
Even though Zhang Lejin begged, Li Deya and others frequently winked at their poor relatives in Tubo, but they were not willing to pay attention to them at all.
Cheng Sanlang's expression was serious, like an old monk in meditation, but he was sneering in his heart.
If you don't understand the little plans of the Tubo and Qiang gang, the leader of the imperial edict, write his name backwards.
Cheng Sanlang stood up and waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. Since everyone thinks this matter is not easy to handle, you should think about it carefully first."
"Such a big matter cannot be decided in a short while."
"Well, it's getting late now. If someone comes, hurry up and hold a banquet to entertain all the Qiang people. I'll give you an order."
"Zhang Zhaoshou, Supervisor Xi, you two, please spend time with your relatives, and make sure the guests and hosts enjoy themselves."
"Master Hu, please don't treat these distinguished guests slowly. Cheng has something to do, so he should go ahead."
The seven or eight Qiang and Zhao leaders also stood up with bewildered expressions on their faces. What happened? Why did they leave?
"Cheng Changshi, where are you going?"
"I still have important matters. Once you have discussed it, Lord Hu, please come over and tell me the news."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang walking quickly and disappearing outside the gate of the house, several Qiangzhao leaders were dumbfounded.
Zhang Lejinqiu turned around and looked at these poor relatives who were obviously here to ask for help, but they still had small plans, and couldn't help but shook his head.
"Okay, Cheng Changshi has left. Please sit down. It's hard for you to come to Tang Dynasty. I'll treat you to this meal."
#####
Cheng Sanlang went straight to the restaurant lobby and saw Li De waiting for him there, and followed him straight to the private room on the second floor.
I saw Li Ke eating and drinking up there at this time, feeling extremely happy and comfortable, and I couldn't help but wonder.
"I say, dear brother, if you don't go back to accompany your wife, why are you eating here alone?"
Li Ke, who was enjoying his single time at the moment, replied with righteousness.
"Brother, this is for official business. I'm waiting for you. Come on, come on, sit down quickly. How's that going?"
Cheng Sanlang sat down in front of the desk, picked up a cup, filled himself with a glass of wine and took a sip.
Hmm... Although it is ordinary green ant wine, it is really sweet, slightly sour, and smells like alcohol.
It is similar to glutinous rice wine, but stronger than glutinous rice glutinous rice wine. It is very suitable for drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk or pouring out ten thousand cups. After smashing your mouth, you will feel happy.
"Those Ziqiang and Zhao leaders, it seems they don't really believe in the strength of our brothers."
"..."
Facing Li Ke's doubtful gaze, Cheng Sanlang ate a few more pieces of vegetables before speaking.
"These guys want to return to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty, but they are unwilling to take any risks."
Cheng Sanlang told Li Ke about his exchanges with the Ziqiang imperial edict leaders.
Li Ke, the governor of Yaozhou, was so angry that he laughed.
"A large tribe with a population of nearly 10,000 people, with just such a small amount, may not even be enough to supply our 30,000-strong army for three days."
"One hundred thousand, that's one hundred thousand, okay?" Cheng Chubi glared at Li Ke unhappily.
"..." Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi who seemed to be bragging to numb himself, rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to answer.
"Then what should we do next?"
Cheng Chubi said. "I know what they are thinking. Maybe they think that the imperial court sent us young people here who are talkative and insecure in their work."
"The soldiers and horses under their command are not the elite of the imperial court. So they are worried that if they are on our side with all their strength."
"If we fight with Tubo and fall into a disadvantage, we can still retreat to the Tang Dynasty."
"But they can only stay outside the Jianchuan City. What will greet them will definitely be the violent revenge of the Tubo people."
After hearing Brother Chu Bi's analysis, Li Ke had to nod his head and admit that this was indeed the truth.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to do it alone?"
"I didn't expect that I came to Yaozhou with such confidence that I would encounter such difficulties just at the beginning of my business."
Cheng Chubi glanced at Li Ke, who started to frown, and immediately became happy.
"You think this is a problem?"
"If we want them to do their best with us and advance and retreat together with me, Datang, it's actually very simple. It just depends on whether we are willing to do it or not."
Looking at Brother Chu Bi who was full of confidence, Li Ke couldn't help but smacked his mouth with some toothache.
"Brother Chu Bi, do you have any idea?"
"hehe……"
"Okay, okay, I know you have it, but those methods are not serious, right?"
#####
Cheng Chubi widened his eyes in displeasure. "As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit, and the Duke Xianggang of Song Dynasty, who used soldiers to be benevolent and righteous, is a negative example, okay?"
"Chengchengcheng, little brother, I can't help you. Let's talk about something serious. What should we do next?"
After hearing Li Ke's question, Cheng Sanlang narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly.
"Why are you anxious? There is still a heavyweight character who has not arrived in Jianchuan City yet. After meeting him, we will determine what to do next."
"who?"
"Of course it's the wealthy businessman from the plateau named Nima."
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi in confusion. He always felt that Brother Chu Bi was messing around with a hammer and a stick, which was really confusing.
"He is not from the Shang Shung Kingdom, and what he wants is to restore the Shang Shung Kingdom. The land of Shang Shung is two thousand miles to the west of Tubo, so what can he do if he comes here?"
"Don't worry, you'll know later." Cheng Chubi chuckled and raised his eyebrows proudly.
Li Ke was really helpless towards this sneaky brother Chu Bi. Forget it, if he didn't tell him, how could he still be tortured?
"But brother Chu Bi, we only have more than 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers. You claim to have 100,000. What do you want to do?"
"Of course it's a stratagem." Cheng Chubi explained while eating the food.
"After all, if we really have a hundred thousand elite troops, we will definitely lead them directly to the plateau as soon as possible.
There is nothing else to worry about. Relying on the human sea tactics, we can pile up several important passes in southern Tibet, and then wait for the enemy calmly."
"But the problem is, we only have more than 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and they all come from different tribes."
"The orders are inconsistent and the military is not in good order. With just such a team, you dare to pull it out to fight the enemy?"
"There is news from over there that the leader of the Tubo Kingdom has sent 20,000 elite troops. Adding the original troops from the southern region, I am afraid there will be no less than 30,000 troops."
"So, what we have to do is to use reality to make it imaginary, and use imaginary to make reality..."
Seeing Brother Chu Bi's beaming expression, Li Ke looked at him blankly and asked dryly.
"Brother, can you stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want to do?"
