Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh war deception
Li Siye clasped his hands together to summon again, and Dunbija was frightened again. Li Siye had played too many tricks today. Who knows what would come in from the outside when he opened the curtain of the felt tent next?
Five or six tooth soldiers carried in a large and small box from outside the tent. The big box could hold people, and the small box could also hold human heads.
"Open!"
They unlocked the box and opened the big box first. There were piles of silks and satins of various colors inside, all of which were fine fine silks. As soon as the small box was opened, the room was filled with dazzling golden light, and there were all kinds of silks and satins inside.
The Sasanian gold coins splashed to the ground as the lid of the box was lifted, and the sound of gold was clear and sweet.
Dunbijia's breathing worsened and he could not calm down. Even King Ningyuan opened his eyes wide.
"The highest-grade silk and the most expensive gold. I have prepared two gifts of this kind. One is for you, Dunbigayahu, and the other is for you, King Ningyuan. We Han people are very particular about reciprocity, so I will give it to you."
Gifts also require your return."
The two men quickly stood up from their seats, bowed to Li Siye and crossed their hands, saying: "We are willing to follow the Anxi Army and Dr. Li to the death."
Li Siye waved his hand to the tooth soldiers to close the lid of the box and ordered them to retreat.
Doctor Li asked him with piercing eyes: "Dunbi Gayahu, if General Ziyad sends an envoy to come to you again, what will you do?"
Dun Yehu gritted his teeth and waved his palm like a blade: "Of course I will kill them and offer their heads to you, Doctor Li."
"No, you have to agree to them."
"Promise them?" Dunbijia was a little confused.
"We have to use our tactics to make them think they have a chance of victory, so that they will mobilize their troops. You can even create a false victory for them in exchange for our final victory. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. You can contact me at any time."
"Understood." Dunbijia solemnly performed a chest-crossing salute.
Li Siye sat back behind the desk and yawned sleepily. He raised his hand and said to the two of them: "It's getting late now and it's difficult to walk at night. King Ningyuan and Ye Hu will stay in our military camp to rest for the night. We will go back tomorrow.
We will implement our strategy step by step, as for the two special agents Ke Dun and Moro..."
Dunbija hurriedly took the initiative and said: "I am willing to leave my eldest son in the doctor's camp and learn how to use the army with the doctor."
"Are you that unwilling to see your eldest son?"
"Of course not, no matter he is the eldest son or the second son, he is still my son." Seeing that this could not reassure Li Siye, he simply said cruelly: "My Ke Dun can also stay. When the big cannibals are defeated,
I'll come back to take them back."
Li Siye asked inquiringly: "Are you willing to leave them here with me?"
"There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. They can eat delicious food at Doctor Li's place and enjoy the sound of music and dance of silk and bamboo. If possible, I would also like to stay here and play music every night."
"Haha, since you like it, on the day when we win a great victory, I will give these musicians and these dancing orchids to you."
…
Dunbijia and his entourage returned to the location of the Geluolu tribe, leaving Moro Teqin and the two Ketun alone to enjoy themselves in the Anxi military camp. For the first two days, they did not know that they were hostages, and they continued to drink, eat and enjoy music and dance.
But after having fun, there is always a time when you miss your way home, and you finally break free from the prison of happiness and want to embark on your way home.
"Let us out! We want to see Ye Hu!"
The soldiers guarding the door of the felt tent laughed and said: "Your Ye Hu has left you and gone back a long time ago. Just calm down and stay here to enjoy your happiness."
The two Ketun shook their braids and shouted with shock and anger: "You dog slaves, let us go back, we don't want to stay here!"
Seeing that the Tang army was indifferent, they began to smash things randomly in the tent, trying to attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Tang army in this way.
Yan Xiaosi opened the felt tent and walked in. When Moro Teqin saw him, he scolded angrily: "You bastard liar, why did you trick us here? I will definitely be at odds with you!"
"Why did I lie to you?" Yan Xiaosi asked in surprise: "I told you to come to the banquet, but I didn't tell you when to go back. Didn't I have good wine and meat to entertain you? I didn't send you a beautiful woman.
Singing and dancing? After eating, drinking, and having fun, you just want to pat your butt and leave. Why haven't you thought about why we treat you so well? Have you never thought about repaying us? "
He lowered his head and looked at the mess on the ground like a pigsty. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Now it's your time to repay. You don't need to go through fire and water. You staying here for the time being is the best repayment. It's best not to make trouble.
A stalemate will do no good to either of you. You have this free time to make trouble, so why not hope that Ge Luolu can help the Tang army win the battle, so that you can go back faster."
After Yan Xiaosi said these words, he ordered to the Ya soldiers guarding the door: "Please entertain Moro Teqin and Ke Dun for me, and get whatever you want. If they run away, I will question you.
"
All the tooth soldiers hurriedly lowered their heads and said hello, and Yan Xiaosi walked away as the three of them stared at him dumbfounded.
…
The first Dashi army stationed in Samarkand entered Talas City as a tentative forward force as early as January. After entering the city, they immediately reinforced the city defense and sent scouts everywhere to spy on the movements of the Tang army.
Li Siye had already prepared a response in this regard. His think tank Dai Wang had already organized several groups of businessmen to spread false news near Talas City to confuse the enemy.
On May 6th, the caravan carrying the peace letter sent by Li Siye set off. After more than ten days of trekking, they arrived in Talas City. At this time, leading the large food army in the city was a Persian general named Rasul.
, is an insignificant figure in the military system of Khorasan.
The leader of the caravan arrived at the military camp, and tremblingly entered the temporary residence of General Rasul under the awe of the cannibal swords and guns.
Rasul was wearing a white robe. In order to show his identity in black, he only had a piece of black cloth on his arm. He sat on the bed and narrowed his deep-set triangular eyes to look at the caravan leader with authority.
The leader of the caravan was a Sogdian and was proficient in the language of Dashi. He took out a letter from his arms with trembling hands and presented it to the general with both hands. Rasul reached out and touched his lips, tore open the envelope and took it out.
The yellow paper read the Arabic text on it carefully.
With a sneer on his lips, he put the letter paper back into the envelope and asked the caravan leader: "Are you coming from Shule Town?"
The leader replied: "No, he came from Qisai City, the capital of the Bukhan Kingdom."
He asked again: "The Tang army is stationed there, does it want to fight us?"
Someone had already taught the leader how to speak. He bowed and answered: "The Tang army is a teacher of benevolence, friendliness, and harmony. How could they take the initiative to attack others? Doctor Li once told me when he came here,
Let me explain to you the attitude of the Tang Army. We still decide to live in peace and not to start a war easily. We must cherish the time of peace and not let innocent lives be sacrificed on the battlefield in vain."
These words sounded very ridiculous to Rasul. Only cowardly and appeasement people would say that peace is precious and life should be cherished. This shows that this doctor of the Tang Army only has a fear of war when facing our Arab soldiers. It is said that the Tang Army dominates the Western Regions. It turns out that he took advantage of the opportunity.
We only dared to assert our dominance when there was great food and civil strife. Now that the new dynasty has been established and the Abbasid Caliphate has the ambition to dominate the world, it is time for our neighbors to learn how powerful we are.
After Rasul drove away the caravan leader, he began to think about marching to Bakhna and driving the army of the Anxi Protectorate to the east of Congling. Only with such dazzling achievements could he accumulate promotion.
