Chapter 521: Conversation between two people, other news
"The Tubo people attacked at night, but they didn't expect that we were well prepared. Therefore, there was a melee and each of them injured more than a thousand people. When the Tubo people saw that we could not defeat them, they quickly retreated.
Our military camp outside the city was also attacked, but as the Tibetans inside the city retreated, the battle outside the city also came to an end! Judging from the two battles, there should be tens of thousands of Tibetans. As for whether there are still others secretly there Naturally, there is no way to know the soldiers and horses."
"In the battle last night, we injured a total of 1,600 people. The injuries to the Tibetans should be similar."
"Obviously, people in the city are secretly communicating with these sudden people to harm us.
Therefore, before waiting for the Commander-in-Chief's military order, the general immediately surrounded the mansion, took the prefect and others into custody, and asked the Commander-in-Chief to punish him."
After listening to Xin Qiji's story, Shen Tang nodded slightly.
If it were someone else, he might have fallen into the trap. After all, it is not unusual for the prefect's Yamen, a landlord, to come to a place to work for the army.
However, Xin Qiji had been leading the rebel army in the north. At that time, they might be surrounded by Jin soldiers at any time, so they naturally developed an extremely cautious temperament.
In this way, the strategy of Mianzhou City was naturally useless to Xin Qiji, and he was even asked to pretend to fall into the trap and deceive the Tubo people.
"Since the prefect dared to contact Tubo secretly, he is certainly a sinner, and he should be executed. How could the second brother be guilty?
On the way here, we also encountered an ambush, but we were defeated by me. Therefore, I have learned that there are more than 10,000 Tubo people outside Mianzhou City who are ready to take action.
Fortunately, the second brother is cautious, otherwise the damage will be serious."
"Has the prefect already interrogated me?
Did he give out any useful information?"
Xin Qiji shook his head, "There was no military order from the commander-in-chief, so the last general did not torture the prefect. Therefore, he did not explain anything except that he kept complaining."
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help but sneered! Naturally, Shen Tang would not show mercy to these people who would not shed tears without seeing the coffin.
"Now is a special period, and the officials in this city don't know which ones are secretly allied with the Tubo people, so let's control them first.
After the interrogation is clear and the matter is reported to the court, we will make a decision! However, until a new decree is issued, many matters in the city will be under military control.
The second brother can send a smart general to manage the affairs of the city for the time being."
The prefect of a state is already considered a high official, so Shen Tang will not kill him easily.
Otherwise, there will be countless troubles in the future.
However, for these people, Shen Tang will not let them go easily.
After some interrogation, once the evidence is available, with Zhang Jun, Shi Hao and others sitting in the court, it will be absolutely easy to punish a prefect!
Xin Qiji nodded slightly. Nowadays, Chengdu Mansion is in chaos. Not only the local tribes cannot be trusted, but also the official officials of the Song Dynasty cannot be trusted. Therefore, it is safer to completely control the city in the hands of himself and others for the time being.
"In addition, the second brother should also be investigating the situation of the Tibetan soldiers. Otherwise, how could the second brother let them go so easily!"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
Xin Qiji grinned. How could it be possible that the Tubo people could easily escape from his hands and only injure one or two thousand people?
The reason why he did not fight to the death was that he did not know the details of the enemy, and the most important thing was to find out where these people were hiding. When he found out, he would surround and kill them all.
"While the melee was going on in the dark night, I ordered a few spies to secretly follow the Tibetan soldiers and leave directly with them.
Thinking about it, the news will come back before tomorrow at the latest.
Since they have the guts to plot against us, we should naturally repay them.
Furthermore, since the commander-in-chief has just arrived, we should let them see our troops."
That night, news also came from another group of troops led by Heihan Hezhuo and Bian Xi.
Compared with Shen Tang and others, they are obviously much more relaxed. Since entering the Shiquan Army, they have not seen any traces of the enemy. Now, they have led their troops to Long'an and are preparing to march towards Shenquan.
After arriving at Shenquan, they could cross the border between the two states and enter the boundary of Mianzhou to join Shen Tang and others.
However, Bian Xi said in the message that they had a vague feeling that someone was spying on them.
However, after some research, no information was found.
After Shen Tang looked at the terrain map, he smiled slightly. He could secretly peek at the army of Bian Xi and others without being discovered by them. It is very likely that they are the troops of the Qiang tribe in Maozhou! The Qiang tribe occupies the entire Maozhou, and in the surrounding states The government also has considerable power, and their understanding of the terrain is far better than Shen Tang and others. If they investigate secretly, they can indeed hide it from the army.
However, they were not in a hurry to investigate the news, and were obviously quite wary of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Bian Xi and his two men.
Or, they may be waiting for the arrival of the Tibetan army before taking action against the Song army.
Although the local tribes have united with the Tubo people, Shen Tang would not believe it if they said they were of the same mind.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty, Tubo and the local tribes each have their own ideas! Among the three parties, the local tribes are obviously the weakest. Therefore, if they want to gain benefits in the end, they can only let the troops of the Song Dynasty and Tubo By consuming each other, they can control the situation in this chess game.
Therefore, facing the powerful Song Dynasty soldiers, they would never fight against the Song Dynasty first unless it was absolutely necessary.
After a good night's sleep, Shen Tang summoned Xin Qiji and others early the next morning and issued the order regarding the previous decision!
With the publicity of many Tanma, it will not be long before the news that Shen Tang offers a large reward to the Tibetan soldiers will spread throughout Chengdu! At that time, facing the interests and the Tubo people, the local tribes will definitely make some choices .
There is no need for them all to defect to the Song Dynasty. As long as someone has some thoughts, Shen Tang can take the opportunity to cause a crack in the alliance between the two parties.
Moreover, another piece of news was secretly spread out by Shen Tang's people.
As for what kind of reaction this news will cause, it depends on how eager those tribes are for this king of Shu.
It's a pity that this is obviously fishing for the moon in the water. When they drown in the end, I'm afraid they will find that the so-called benefits are just bait to attract them.
"Commander!"
Xin Qiji entered Shen Tang's room with a happy face, "There is news that there are about 14,000 Tubo people, and their hiding place is only thirty miles away from us."
