Chapter 309 Listen to the wind to identify the situation
Tian Renwan tugged at his beard and pondered for a long time, then suddenly turned around and asked Li Siye: "How do you know so clearly?"
"When the general was serving as a guard in Congling, he had a confrontation with a thousand-man Tibetan army. It was because of this battle that the general was promoted from a guard in Congling to a captain in Zhaowu."
"No matter how varied their tactics are, they all remain true to their original principles. They use large numbers of cheap and mediocre support to delay the enemy's attack and consume the opponent's combat effectiveness. When the opponent is tired, the Gui shooters launch a thunderous strike.
.When retreating, the Gui Archers retreated first, and the Yong guards were treated as abandoned sons to protect the elite."
Tian Renwan snorted disdainfully: "Fighters, what they fight for is morale, what they fight for is the same desires and the same heart from top to bottom. These Tubo barbarians use slaves as their army. Are these people willing to fight with sincerity? Do these people have morale to speak of?
? Once encountered, it will inevitably collapse at the first touch. The collapse of the slaves will affect the morale of the Tibetan elite troops. Our army is overwhelming, no matter whether they are elites or slaves, they will all be wiped out in one pot!"
Tanaka Cheng's war is still at the theoretical level. His analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves seems clear and simple, but in fact it is not that way.
Li Siye tactfully advised: "Zhongcheng, Yong's supporters are not just slaves joining the army, they are also the servants of Gui Archers. This relationship is not only maintained in wartime, even in peacetime, Gui Archers also treat Yong."
The guardian has the right to dominate, which is the relationship between master and slave. There is also a reward and punishment system in the Tubo army. Those who fight bravely and win a lot of guardians can be promoted to Gui, so although they have an underground status, they fight bravely.
, Zhongcheng must not underestimate him."
Tian Renwan smiled and waved his hand, nodded and said: "What you said is indeed somewhat pertinent. I will definitely consider it in detail. If I can't complete the entire attack and capture Niduo City in this expedition, I will definitely not
Moving."
As soon as Li Siye heard the tone of the other party's words, he knew that Tian Renwan did not take his words to heart. Naturally, he would not insist on his own opinion and forcefully dissuade him. If he caused the other party's displeasure, the gain would outweigh the loss.
The announcement was quickly stamped, and Li Siye also bowed and folded his hands to Tian Renwan to retire. Tian Renwan reached out to support his arms and whispered: "Li Siye, you have extraordinary talents. I really want to join you in the army and work with someone."
Let’s go on a joint expedition to Xiaobolu. However, the military order has been set and cannot be easily changed. Moreover, Fumeng Duhu is stationed at the rear. I cannot take away his most capable people. I can only deeply regret this. You can go."
Tian Renwan gently flicked his sleeves and turned around to look at the Karakoram Mountains in the distance. Li Siye had no choice but to fold his hands and leave, turning around and walking down the city wall.
The fifty-five notices he brought were stamped with red seals by Tanaka Cheng's entourage. The attendant personally handed the rolled-up notices to Li Siye's hands.
The attendant said to Li Siye with a smile: "The seal and ribbon of the Jiedushi should not be used for announcements, let alone to win the trust of those low-ranking merchants. The reason why I gave it to you is not only because of the Dunhuang Zhang."
, Suo's second name is involved, and it's because Tanaka Cheng is partial to you, and it's all because of your face. This favor makes me jealous. "
He really doesn't understand. Why do you look down on businessmen? Are businessmen eating your rice?
She is also jealous of me. Tian Renwan’s so-called favor is irrelevant to me. What I want is my own strength, not clinging to someone.
Li Siye crossed his hands and smiled: "I'm serious, Siye is just doing things sincerely and doesn't dare to neglect."
He led Hei Pang out of the city, stood at the city gate and looked back at Shouchuo City, sighing secretly in his heart that this was the place where his dream of Anxi began, but it was a pity that he could not stay long after he came and went.
Yu Gou personally escorted him to the door. The two did not have many verbal exchanges, but they knew each other well. What Tian Renwan saw was only the wealth on the surface of Congling, and what was hidden underground in Shouchu City was even more important.
Beyond his imagination.
"Lord, I really hope you can take time to come back for a day."
"Yu Gou, don't call me that. It's not good if others hear you."
Yu Gou looked around and saw that there was no one around, then approached Li Siye and whispered: "The Tubo man Gong Juezan is still locked in the cellar. Zong Lu is very good now. Our meeting time has been extended to once a month. My Lord
, this time Tian Zhongcheng leads the army on an expedition, does Zong Lu need to be the internal support?"
Li Siye thought for a moment, lowered his head and said: "I don't know how far the Anxi Army's expedition will go. Let him try to avoid direct contact with the Tang Army and provide appropriate conveniences to the Tang Army without being exposed."
"I understand. Tomorrow is the day of contact again. I will personally give him instructions."
…
The three regiments of Kucha's Tiaodang camp belong to the Chinese army. They are forming up in front of Congling to defend the city. Although they are mixed among many troops, they can be spotted by just looking at the flags.
Li Siye was pressed for time and did not have time to go to his superiors to lecture him. Moreover, the Tiaodang Camp was temporarily under the jurisdiction of General Ma Li, so he did not have to go there and make this appearance.
The three captains also saw Li Siye at the same time. Zhao Congfang was about to go over to pay a visit when Qiu Luan grabbed him by the shoulder: "Why are you going at this time? Are you waiting to be the unlucky guy?"
"What can I say? After all, he is also the warden of our Kucha Tiaodang camp. If you don't go to see him at this time, let him notice and remember it, so that you are not afraid of giving us little shoes to wear in the future?"
"You, you, don't know how to listen to rumors and judge the situation." Qiu Luan asked him earnestly: "Do you know why he came? Why did he leave just after he came?"
"Where do I know where to go?"
"It's so simple and you can't even see it?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Qiu Luan's face: "It's a shame you've been in the army for so long and you haven't made any progress." He hurriedly came to Congling to guard the capture, hoping to see Tanaka Cheng and join the expedition against Xiaobolu.
Only in this way can he find a foothold again. But at the moment, it seems that he has not been able to see anyone at all. Others are serving in the army, and he is the only one who is left behind, and his future must be bleak. "
"What does this have to do with us going to see him?" Zhao Congfang asked in confusion.
"Oh, how could you not know the reason why everyone is pushing against the wall? Now that he has lost power, whoever tries to get close to him will be in trouble. It's better for you and me to avoid suspicion. If in the future we are seen by political opponents who don't deal with him, you and I will be like this.
Colonel Zhong is afraid that his future will be ruined."
Zhao Congfang always felt that Qiu Luan was too alarmist, but he himself had a persecution delusion. What he said sounded somewhat reasonable. It seemed that if he ran over and crossed his arms to greet them, there would be countless cold eyes on them.
He would really be regarded as an accomplice of General Li. He only dared to glance over secretly, and saw that Li Siye had already climbed onto his horse and was driving away with a bamboo tube on his back.
The feeling of losing power was really desolate. There was only a small Congling guard envoy to see General Li off.
…
Yu Gou led his horse along the upper reaches of the river into the cave at the foot of the mountain. The shadow of his body blocked the incoming light.
A Tibetan warrior with his hair braided on his head stood opposite him, with a broad-bladed sword hanging on his waist, blue-black Pupu trousers, and shadows on his waxy and reddish face.
Yu Gou said: "There is no popular charm."
Zong Lu: "Sex nature loves mountains and hills."
"Stumbled into the dust net."
"Thirty years have passed. It's really troublesome. We have met dozens of times in the past few years. Why do we need to do these fussy things again? Whatever you want to know, I will tell you."
Yu Gou asked him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Did you meet the vanguard of the Tang army on the way here?"
"The leader of the Tang army?" Zong Lu looked shocked: "The Tang army has already begun to recapture Xiaobolu?"
"That's right, my general wants you to try not to fight with the Tang army, avoid the sharp edges, and give the Tang army some convenience without being exposed."
Zong Lu smiled bitterly: "Now that I am in Lianyun Castle, how can I avoid the Tang Army? As for providing convenience to the Tang Army, I can only depend on the situation."
"That's right," Yu Gou put his hands in his sleeves and whispered: "This time Tian Renwan's expedition to Xiaobolu was not attended by General Li, so you don't have to play a role, no matter what, just be obedient.
You are such a bystander, this battle has nothing to do with you."
"Yes." Zong Lu lowered his head, he was destined to be unable to escape the fate of being manipulated.
