Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh uneven distribution of spoils
The following is a list of what Gao Xianzhi's Jiedushi Ya Barracks looted from the Shiguo Palace.
One lion, thirty-five white camels, and three peacocks. A total of thirty-one thousand two hundred taels of various gold products, more than sixty strands of agate, sixty taels of frankincense, thirty taels of dipterocarp, and pepper.
Thirteen stones, as well as various turquoise, silver items, knives, red sandalwood furniture, etc. are countless.
This is how Gao Chengcheng distributed the seizures:
Lions and peacocks were put into cages and presented to the emperor. Thirteen white camels were used to carry property, and the remaining twenty-two were also sent to Chang'an for the emperor. A total of thirteen camels were packed with the seized gold. Gao Xianzhi
With a wave of his hand, eleven of the camels belonged to him, and the other two camels were given to Li Siye and Bian Lingcheng respectively. Frankincense and dipterocarp were used to make connections when he came to Chang'an in the future, pepper, he carried five stones on a pack horse, and the rest
All of it was distributed to the tooth soldiers under his command. No matter how greedy a person is, he will not eat alone without leaving some for others. Even if he eats meat, the soldiers will be happy to take a sip of the soup.
Li Siye was originally going to refuse to accept Gao Xianzhi's gift. Wouldn't it be tantamount to colluding with him? But he suddenly thought that the prisoner Bian Lingcheng was also being gifted, so he had to think more about this matter. He would not take any of these belongings.
It will inadvertently offend both Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi at the same time, which will not help him divide them.
This is not a lie, because people's psychology is generally like this. When everyone is dirty, it is best not to deliberately describe yourself as noble, maybe you will hurt their sensitive hearts. Rather than rejecting it face to face, it is better to accept it first, and then
Send it to Chang'an through another channel. This thing is evidence of Gao Xianzhi's crime of robbery and making money.
It's not that he strongly disagrees with Gao Xianzhi's approach, it's just that Gao Xianzhi's method of amassing money is too explicit, using tricks to plunder, using tricks to plunder, try not to plunder when you can, why should you turn your allies into enemies.
Now that the capital of the Shi Kingdom has been looted, there are many Sogdian merchants in the city. Their family fortunes that they have accumulated for two or three lifetimes have been swept away by the Tang army on horseback. The people in the surrounding Mi Kingdom, Shi Kingdom and other places were shocked.
The illusion of the Tang Army as a righteous army was shattered. They finally realized that these foreign armies, whether they were the Dashi Army or the Tang Army, were originally a kind of goods that were used to smash, smash, and rob.
Local people organized civil groups and began to spontaneously join the fight against the Tang army. After all, these people had no military training, no armor or steel knives, only crude spears and crossbows.
The place where the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu live has a unified name called Afghanistan today. From this, you can imagine the strong folk customs of this place. It is only because of the complex terrain and undulating mountains that it is divided into small countries by the terrain.
Faced with the resistance of these unruly people from the Nine Kingdoms, Gao Xianzhi was not afraid and divided his troops into three groups, with the infantry as the main force and the cavalry as the surprise, and they fought and won consecutively.
This is not something worth boasting about, just look at the gap between the two sides. The army composed of these Sogdian people had no battle formation rehearsals and no armor. It was obvious that they were defeated because of their bravery.
After Gao Xianzhi won a great victory, he began to withdraw his troops from the Stone Kingdom. Li Siye thought that he would stop at this point, but unexpectedly he set his sights on Suiye City's Suqi Shi.
He wondered if this guy was crazy because he had to fight three battles in just two years. However, today's Tuqishi was no longer the same as before. The conflict between the black and yellow surnames had greatly damaged the vitality of the tribe, and even weakened it to
To the point of being dependent on neighboring small countries.
From this point of view, King Ningyuan's statement that Shi Guo and Tu Qi Shi colluded with each other to threaten the Anxi Protectorate was a false accusation. When Gao Xianzhi attacked Shi Guo, Tu Qi Shi Yiba Khan hid in Suiye City and shivered at all.
He didn't dare to move for fear of being implicated by Shi Guo.
But some things cannot be avoided by hiding. Gao Xianzhi went all the way east, directly attacked Suiye City, and captured Yiba Khan. In this way, Gao Xianzhi had three heads in his hands that were about to be chopped off.
Gao Xianzhi has reached the pinnacle of his life, both in terms of fame and power. Countries in the Western Regions are talking about it. He defeated the Jieshi Kingdom, defeated the Shi Kingdom, defeated the Nine Kingdoms Hu, and defeated the Tuoqi Shi. Literally speaking,
Looking up, it would not be an exaggeration to be granted the title of Duke or Prince for such shining military exploits. But in fact, the emperor who was thousands of miles away from Chang'an was not confused and knew that there were many things hidden behind his military exploits.
…
After Gao Xianzhi conquered the Shi Kingdom, Li Siye decided to say goodbye and leave, and no longer acted as an observer group. There was no point in following the Anxi Army. Gao Xianzhi had made all the mistakes he should not have made in this battle. He had already
I wrote them down one by one and asked Cen Shen who was following me to polish them up and turn them into black materials to be delivered to Chang'an.
But black people also need skills. Even if these materials are handed over to Yang Zhao, the emperor probably will not listen to his side of the story and will have to recruit another person to join in the blackmail.
He was not sure about this candidate until Gao Xianzhi led the army to withdraw from Shiguo. He and the supervisor Bian Lingcheng saw at the same time that the Jiedushi Ya soldiers were escorting eleven white camels and a dozen horses were captured.
When he handed over the property, a hint of unnoticeable embarrassment flashed across Bian Lingcheng's face.
Fortunately, Li Siye had keen observation and discovered the hidden dissatisfaction of the border supervisors. This was the serious consequence of the uneven distribution of spoils.
He sat on the horse and pulled the reins, pretending to be casual and said: "The high school prime minister not only has a way of fighting, but also has a way of making money."
Bian Lingcheng pursed his lips and laughed: "Sometimes our family really envy you warriors. You can legally kill people and steal wealth. You can also go to the saints to ask for credit, do a job and earn two profits. How can you run errands like us?
As a slave, I can only work on the sidelines and watch others get rich."
"Hey, border supervisor, didn't the high school prime minister also give you a white camel?"
Bian Lingcheng asked sharply: "Didn't he only give you one horse? Our family is just a slave. Doctor Li, you are different. You are the imperial censor and the interviewer of Longyou Road. Although this
Both titles are not real power, but they can still be regarded as his immediate boss, so you shouldn’t just take a bite of the bones."
There were unexpected gains, and Bian Lingcheng in turn provoked himself. Naturally, Li Siye couldn't appear too open-minded, otherwise Bian Lingcheng would think that his provocative words were in vain.
"I don't care. Anyway, the protagonists in these big plays are high school principals. I'm just a spectator watching the show. It's good that he can give me some points."
Bian Lingcheng smiled, as if he understood all this.
The team had just passed through the valley between the two mountains. Gao Xianzhi, dressed in a white horse, came to the two of them with a dashing appearance. He held a riding whip and said with a smile: "Doctor Li, border supervisors, thank you for following us all the way."
Bian Lingcheng smacked the taste of these words and understood the meaning slightly. Is this a satire that we can get money for nothing without doing anything?
He raised his hands in vain and said: "There's no need to talk about hard work. As long as the high school prime minister doesn't think our family is a burden and drags you down."
Gao Xianzhi laughed and said: "The border supervisor is serious. You are the eyes of a saint. I hope to use your wise eyes to tell your Majesty the loyalty and bravery of our Anxi Army."
"That's right, this time Qixi Jian'er defeated the Shi Kingdom and defeated the Nine Kingdoms. Now he has killed the rebels of Tu Qishi, which shocked the Western Regions. He has done a great job. If these traitors are introduced to the capital, the saint will definitely be very happy. High School
The Prime Minister's meritorious service should be ranked first in the world."
The two people laughed at the same time, and behind the laughter was a misunderstanding and disloyalty.
