Chapter 208 Tired for Logging

royal palace.

Li Yan, who returned, had a few more volumes in his hand, and knocked on Wang Xiaojie's door.

Wang Xiaojie got up early and was reciting foreign words by candlelight: "Liu Lang, it's so early?"

Li Yan handed him the booklet: "Take a look, can you roughly read the words on it?"

Wang Xiaojie took it and looked it over carefully: "Nothing else, but this is a roster, all of which are the names of people from Tubo, and most of them are very simple, but I can recognize them. They are servants of Tubo?"

Li Yandao: "There are very few noble surnames in Tubo, and they are rarely given to common people. These are the names of secret guards..."

Historically, when Buddhism prospered in the snow area and promoted the concept of equality of all beings, there were no surnames at all, only first names.

Wang Xiaojie was moved: "The roster of secret guards! Where did Liu Lang get it?"

Li Yan said: "The dark guard is stationed."

Wang Xiaojie felt unbelievable: "Have you entered the secret guard's station to search?"

Li Yan explained the general situation.

Hearing the cooperation of the former defeated Bren Zanren, Wang Xiaojie couldn't help laughing: "He is so kind."

After praising the enemy sincerely, Wang Xiaojie looked at the roster again: "Since the secret guards are stationed deep in the refugee gathering place, and these names are so simple, does it mean that the secret guards are selected from among the refugees?"

Li Yan nodded: "That's right, this is also in line with Tubo's national conditions. Our inner guards in the Tang Dynasty selected elites from Zhechong Prefectures from all over the country, and they served in a unified manner from top to bottom. In your hands, how could those tribal chieftains allow their elites to be deployed by the Gar family?"

Wang Xiaojie said: "Even if it's Wei Ru, it's not the same. I even secretly met with a head of a thousand households today, and that person expressed his allegiance to me!"

Li Yan said with a smile: "It seems that you have gradually assumed the role of Zanpu."

Wang Xiaojie's face changed slightly: "Liu Lang, I didn't..."

Li Yan raised his hand: "Xiaojie, I absolutely believe in you. Thanks to you this time, maintaining Zanpu's status at this stage is of great benefit to us. As for the future, it depends on how you choose."

Wang Xiaojie scratched his head: "In fact, I still want to lead the army to fight. When I get familiar with everything in Tubo, if I lead the army, I will see who can stop me!"

That's not really arrogant.

Waiting for Wang Xiaojie to adapt to the situation and environment in Tubo, and then bring the Tang army to attack, that is really why His Majesty rebelled!
Know yourself and the enemy, but you don't know this much...

But even if the war can be won, it will be very difficult to defend Tubo, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would have swallowed Tuyuhun, and there is no need to make Murong Nuohebo the puppet Khan.

Regarding Tubo's strategic intentions, it is certain to suppress and weaken it. Li Yan has not yet had a firm idea of ​​what will happen in the end, and he will not consider it anymore.

The most urgent task is to deal with the hidden guards.

He asked Wang Xiaojie to continue reciting words, and came to the prison by himself.

In addition to the suspect Shen Juyuan and the witnesses inside, there are also a group of secret guards who were arrested in Liangzhou.

Zan Xiruo wanted to fish them out at first, but later Zanpu rose up, so he couldn't care less.

A few Anzu had already died of illness, but Jiaoer was in good health because of the care he received.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the cell door, he woke up, went to the door to look, and bent down: "Deputy Envoy Li!"

Li Yan asked directly: "Before you were selected as a secret guard, were you a refugee who fled to Tubo?"

Jiaoer's complexion changed slightly: "Yes, at that time I was in exile with my clansmen in the Tubo royal city, and was later selected as a secret guard."

Li Yan handed him the roster: "Take a look, is there anyone you know on it?"

After Jiaoer took it, he couldn't believe it: "The dark guard was breached by Deputy Envoy Li?"

Li Yan said honestly: "Not yet, I just went in and walked around, and took out a few rosters."

Jiaoer: "..."

That's not much different from breaking through, it's like entering the land of no one!
He was immediately very nervous, afraid that he would be disposed of because he was useless, so he hurriedly looked through the roster.

But the more he looked at it, the worse his complexion became, and finally he tremblingly said: "No...no one I know!"

Li Yan saw his worry, and didn't comfort him, and said lightly: "Then what else do you know? It's okay, think slowly, I'm not in a hurry!"

"I'm in a hurry!"

Jiao Er turned pale with fright, racked his brains to think, and suddenly said: "The place where the hidden guards are trained should be a huge temple!"

Li Yan frowned: "What kind of temple? A Buddhist temple?"

Jiaoer said: "It's not Buddhism. I have seen many Buddhist temples in Liangzhou, which are quite different from the ones I was in at that time. It should be the temple of Yongzhongben religion."

Li Yan nodded slightly: "It's not surprising that you are called Yongzhong Shenwei, and you are trained in Yongzhong's sect. Is the person who trained you a Bon believer?"

Jiaoer said: "Yes, now that I think about it, those people should be the believers in the temple, teaching us the method of luck and fighting skills."

Li Yan asked: "How long did you study before you went out to carry out the mission? One year?"

Jiao Er bitterly said: "How could it be possible for a year, I only studied for more than a month, and then I was sent out to carry out the task, and then went back to train, and I learned and did it like this, many people died!"

Li Yan sighed: "That is the elimination system. I don't know how many refugees have to die to train a qualified secret guard..."

The dark guard followed the same route as the Plum Blossom Internal Guard. The Plum Blossom Internal Guard took root in the palace and selected talents from among the criminals in Ye Ting for training.

However, the criminal daughters of Ye Ting are all the wives and daughters of officials and officials. They are generally of high quality and are trained quickly, while the quality of the refugees who fled is far worse.

The Gar family obviously did not invest a lot of energy and money in cultivating them well. They adopted a cruel elimination method, and those who survived were qualified.

Jiao Er showed a sad look: "We are all slaves of the subjugated country and refugees. When will our lives be regarded as dead?"

Li Yan glanced at him. When he was in Liangzhou, this guy was very proud of Tubo people. There is obviously a key point in the middle: "You married a wife and had children later, what happened?"

Mentioning his wife and children, Jiaoer's face suddenly showed longing: "I performed four missions. After becoming a secret soldier, I was led to another place. It was there that I met my wife. She treated me very well. , and gave me two sons..."

Li Yandao: "Your wife and children were placed there? Are all the family members of the hidden guards there?"

Jiaoer nodded: "Yes, I also saw the family members of the other hidden guards. They are together and have a care for each other. What we desire most is to go back and reunite with our families..."

Li Yan was silent for a moment, and then said: "So your loyalty to the secret guard is tied to your family members. Have you ever thought that if you continue to be a secret guard in this way, if you don't get a good death, your son will die again in the future?" What will you do?"

Jiao Er was startled, and his face quickly turned pale: "He... he will also become a hidden guard?"

Li Yan commented: "Lu Dongzan is a generation of outstanding people. He absorbed the elite from the refugees, trained with the power of Yong Zhongben's teaching, and found Subi women to marry and have children for you. It will be passed down from generation to generation. The dark guard will follow the rise of the Gar family. Continuously growing, this model is not suitable for my Tang Dynasty, but it is very suitable for Tubo."

"But for you, every generation of you has to become a dark child who can't see the light. Unless the rule of the Gar family is overthrown one day, there will be no end."

Jiao Er's eyes were red, and he directly bowed down and kowtowed heavily: "Please save us, Deputy Envoy Li!"

Li Yan looked thoughtful.

Dark guard benefits, getting wives, and having children.

Mastering these family members is both a concern and a hostage.

As a result, the hidden guards in the previous station, tired of logging, worked day and night, and dared not complain.

Of course, there will definitely be cases of defection. If the wife is gone, she will remarry, if the son is gone, there will always be people who cannot bear the oppression of the hidden guards, and abandon their families and flee alone.

But as long as the majority of loyalty is ensured, the organization will work.

Compared with devotion, the life of a refugee is cheap, Yong Zhongben teaches training, and his wife is a subjugated Subi girl...

The return is a steady stream of meticulous work, creating intelligence and assassination value for the Gar family.

It is really the best model suitable for the national conditions of Tubo.

"From this point of view, there are three important places in the Tubo King City."

"Dark guard resident, dark guard training place, dark guard family gathering place."

"Among them, the most critical thing is not the residence, but the gathering place for family members."

"If the wives and children of the secret guards are rescued, the foundation of this organization will be destroyed. Not to mention the secret guards in the royal city, the group of secret guards who served under the command of Tuyuhun Qinling may also betray."

"But that place must be the most hidden, even Fuxing won't know..."

Li Yan sorted out the context, looked at Jiaoer who was still begging himself: "Get up, you have to rely on yourself to save your wife and children!"

Jiaoer stood up and said, "Please give orders to Vice Envoy Li!"

Li Yan opened the prison door: "You are a refugee from Tuyuhun who flowed into Tubo, now go back to the refugee gathering place, I need you to collect information for me..."

Jiao Er was stunned: "Vice Envoy Li let me go? Aren't you afraid that I will inform the secret guard?"

Li Yan smiled: "You didn't want to reveal other secret guards in Liangzhou, just to keep your wife safe. I still agree with that."

"What's more, even if you go to report the news now, let the dark guard know that I am looking for the family of the dark guard, is it possible for them to temporarily transfer?"

"There are so many people, every movement is a big movement, I still hope that the Gar family will make a foolish move!"

Jiaoer understood, and was a little discouraged: "But I only have one person, so I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the entrustment of Deputy Envoy Li."

Li Yandao: "The warriors of the old tribe under the command of the little prince have been in contact with the refugees these days. You are for your family and they are for the restoration of the country. No matter how big or small, as long as you have this ideal and belief in your heart, I believe that you all have the possibility to create miracles." , go!"

Jiao Er was stunned for a moment, bowed deeply to Li Yan, walked out of the cell, and went to the place where Tuyuhun's former troops were, his brows gradually firmed up, and his back gradually straightened.
