Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 272
"Ah? Execute us all?"

Wang Zhao and other officials were shocked when they heard this.

"Cheng Chuli, how dare you."

Wang Zhao roared loudly.

But the soldiers didn't joke with him.He was dragged directly in front of those common people, and his head fell to the ground with the knife in his hand.

Wang Zhao couldn't believe it until he died, but Cheng Chuli actually dared to kill them.And kill them all.

Just when Wang Zhao's head fell to the ground, Cheng Chuli had already left the scene with his people.

But Li Chengqian still stayed there, watching these people execute.

Since it is impossible to help others find their mother-in-law, this is the only way to avenge them.

When Cheng Chuli and Cheng Yaojin returned to the county government office.

Yuchi Baolin ran up to Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chuli and said, "General Cheng, Duke Xiao. We have already confiscated all the officials' homes. I left all the money in the lobby. You should go and see for yourself." Look!"

Cheng Chuli asked curiously: "How much is the total?"

Yuchi Baolin shook her head and said: "It's not enough, there are too many. Over 100 million coins were copied from the underground treasury of Guang Wangzhao. There are more in Wang En's mansion, those gold and silver jewels, antiques and famous paintings, that is It has everything you need, and it’s not worth it at all. General Cheng, Duke Xiao, you should go and see for yourself!"

Can't figure it out?How much does it cost?This made Cheng Chuli curious.

When the three of them came to the Yamen lobby, Cheng Chuli and Cheng Yaojin were immediately stunned by the scene inside.

The floor of this lobby is densely packed with large boxes.

On top of these boxes and those tables, there are all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings.Many of them didn't even have a place to put them, so they were just thrown on the ground.

A few people who looked like scholars were recording and calculating with their notebooks, but they didn't know how much money they had.

My god, even if Cheng Chuli had seen a lot of money, he was shocked by the scene here.

In my previous life, I heard that the Sui Dynasty was the richest dynasty.Unexpectedly, there will be money like this.

It seems that the only poor people in the early Tang Dynasty were Li Shimin and ordinary people!The money is all in the hands of these aristocratic families!
Cheng Chuli said: "Record everything, and bring it back to the treasury when the time comes."

This is the truth, Cheng Chuli never relied on greed to make money.

In the afternoon, things in the city are basically dealt with.

Cheng Yaojin gathered Cheng Chuli and all the generals under him for a meeting.

After a while of opening remarks, Cheng Yaojin said straight to the point: "Everyone, our situation is very serious now. We not only want to fight Tubo, but also pay attention to the poisonous snake of the Wang family. Based on what I know about the Wang family, the next step is for them to They will definitely join forces with the Tibetans to deal with us."

"As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. I am very worried about this unknown situation. I don't know what you think about this, so please speak freely!"

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, everyone subconsciously looked at Cheng Chuli.

Cheng Chuli was very helpless, so he could only stand up and say: "What we are worried about is that when the Tubo people attack the city, the Wang family will cooperate with them to open the city gate. If this is the case, then our people will suffer. If so, we need not be afraid of them at all. Do you agree with me?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously.They have hot weapons, so if you are upright, you must not be afraid of them.

The only thing I am afraid of is that the situation Cheng Chuli said will happen, and the people will suffer.

Yuchi Baolin said: "Little Duke, if you have any plans, just tell us, we will listen to you."

Cheng Chuli looked at Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin nodded subconsciously and said, "Speak up! We just listen to you."

What he was waiting for was Cheng Yaojin's words.This is a military meeting, speak without regret.

Cheng Chuli nodded and said: "As long as we prevent this from happening, then we will be invincible. So my plan is, I will take the 8000 people from Chengjia Village to go out of the city to find the Tibetans to fight guerrilla warfare."

"Father, you old man can just take your 2 people to defend the city. Father, you should pay attention to two points in the city, to prevent the royal family from attacking. There are also those Tubo captives who come here."

"Our 8000 people are outside, and we will never let those Tibetans get close to Yizhou City. After we slowly kill them with guerrilla warfare, we will come back."

"Guerrilla warfare, what is guerrilla warfare? I have been fighting for so many years, why have I never heard of this word?"

Cheng Yaojin asked suspiciously.

Everyone also looked at Cheng Chuli in puzzlement.

The reason why Cheng Chuli put forward the term guerrilla warfare here is to confuse Cheng Yaojin.Otherwise, he might really regret not letting him leave the city.

If so, it's no fun.

Cheng Chuli said briefly: "This is guerrilla tactics. It's a long story. I don't have much time to tell you about it today. I'll just talk about the essence of guerrilla warfare. You can understand it yourself! When you have time, I will explain it in detail." tell you about this."

"The essence of guerrilla warfare is that when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. Fight if you can, and leave if you can't. Attack is the most active defense. You must do your best to destroy the enemy while preserving yourself."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.No way, they have never heard such a statement.

Wars are not always two armies confronting each other.Then the two sides send a general out to fight, and then there will be a decisive battle?

Well, let these guys digest the words.Without a certain amount of time, it is estimated that it will not work.

Cheng Chuli said: "As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win a hundred battles; if you know yourself but not the enemy, you will win and lose half; if you don't know yourself and the enemy, you will definitely lose the battle. Therefore, we must go out and understand the enemy before we can win the battle."

Cheng Yaojin was directly fooled by Cheng Chuli.However, the last sentence sounds plausible.

The most important thing is that Cheng Chuli decided to stop it even if he wanted to.

Maybe he just sneaked out.It's better to discuss it and let him go out generously!
Cheng Yaojin said: "Chu Li, tell Dad, if you do this, will your safety be guaranteed?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Nonsense, Dad, it's not like you don't know that I, Cheng Chuli, are most afraid of death, so how could I put myself in danger? Don't worry, I won't put myself under a dangerous wall. "

Cheng Yaojin thought about it, and it seemed that this was the best way.

He called out solemnly: "Xue Rengui, Yuchi Baolin."

Xue Rengui and Yuchi Baolin hurried out and said in unison: "Yes."

Cheng Yaojin said: "The two of you want to issue a military order to me. No matter what the situation is, even if you are dead, you must ensure the safety of the little prince. Can it be done?"

Xue Rengui and Yuchi Baolin said forcefully, "Yes."

There's no way, if something happens to Cheng Chuli, the two of them probably won't survive.Even if Cheng Yaojin let them go, Li Shimin probably wouldn't let them go.

Cheng Yaojin said solemnly: "Don't go too far, bring a signal gun, and send a signal to us if there is any danger."

Cheng Chuli said: "Father, don't worry! How many times have I told you, how can I, who is so afraid of death, let myself die?"

After the meeting, Cheng Chuli led Cheng Yaojin to find a few scholars who were more talkative, and said to them: "Now, I want to give you a task."

Those scholars said solemnly: "Little Duke, if you have anything, just order it!"

Cheng Chuli nodded and said: "This task is for you to instigate those Tubo captives. You tell them, as long as they help us win this battle, then I, Cheng Chuli, promise to let them become our Datang nationality and truly become our Datang people. "

"After we defeat Tubo, we can bring all their families to Datang. Another important point is to tell them that their opponents are not Tubo people, but aristocratic families."

The few scholars said in embarrassment: "If we tell them like this, they are not willing?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Don't worry, you just need to speak well. After we really defeat Tubo, they will be tempted."

Those scholars hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Okay, little prince, don't worry! We promise to complete the task."

After these scholars left, Cheng Yaojin pulled Cheng Chuli back and asked, "Chuli, do you want to use these Tubo people to fight those aristocratic families?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Of course, if you can use them, you must use them. Don't you want to use our own people and those aristocratic families to consume?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled: "Boy, you really are cunning and cunning. If this matter succeeds, I will credit you with great credit."

Cheng Chuli said: "Father, let me tell you, this time we go out, we may capture prisoners. Remember, if we fire red flares nearby, it means that we have too many prisoners. Send someone over to take over those prisoners." captive."

"Okay, you kid, no matter what, safety must be the first priority, do you hear me?"

Feeling Cheng Yaojin's strong fatherly love, Cheng Chuli nodded and said, "Got it."

Early the next morning, Cheng Chuli's eight thousand troops set off early.

After sending out scouts to scout the way ahead, Cheng Chuli sat in a warrior and swayed forward.

It is worth mentioning that although this ancient dirt road is not as smooth as the modern concrete asphalt road.It doesn't affect his driving either.

In fact, the ancient dirt roads are easier to walk than the modern dirt roads, because the modern dirt roads occasionally have cars running over them, which will ruin the road surface.

The ancient dirt roads are different, they are all made by people, and they are quite flat.Of course, this is a dirt road, not a mountain road.

Although the boring time passed slowly, it was still noon soon.

Since we haven't found any enemies, let's bury the stove and cook!
Now it's a war, how can you wrong the brothers?
Everyone worked together, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and had a full meal.

After lunch, the troops were about to set off when the scouts in front came back.

"Young Lord, we found the temporary barracks of Tubo [-] miles ahead. We have observed them, and they have no intention of marching today."

When Cheng Chuli heard the words, he touched his chin.

What's going on here?Why didn't these Tibetans march?
How did he know that Songtsan Gampo was quite angry at this time!

The [-] vanguard army lost as soon as they said they were defeated. Can you believe that?

According to the normal routine, even if the opponent has an army of 10,000+, no matter how much an army of [-] can fight the opponent for a month, right?
What the hell, it only took two days to lose.How could he believe it?
However, what does the defeated soldiers who keep running back mean?It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it!
What made him angry was that all the defeated soldiers who came back said that the opponent defeated his 1000 army with only [-] troops.

Can you believe this?

Saying this kind of thing is less reliable than farting, okay?
And ah!
These guys who escaped even said that Tang Jun had a rattling weapon, so that with a rattling sound, their men fell down.

What the hell, this is completely deceiving Songtsan Gampo as a child!

What kind of rattling weapon is there in this world, so that a person can fall down with a rattling sound.It's just playing the piano.

The hateful thing is that all these people who escaped said the same thing, you say you will die or you will die.

As more and more people fled back, Songtsin Gampo began to doubt his life.People are also a little self-closing.

So, he simply let the army stay here, and slowly waited for the defeated soldiers to return.

In the distance, on the top of a mountain, Cheng Chuli got out a military telescope, pointed it at Songtsan Gampo's military camp, and began to observe.

Yuchi Baolin said: "Little Duke, what are you doing? Let me play too!"

Cheng Chuli put down the binoculars, dug in his clothes, and took out three binoculars.

"Come on, share among the three of you, and you don't have to pay me back. Just hang it around your neck when you're done using it."

Yuchi Baolin took the binoculars, followed Cheng Chuli's example and started looking there. As soon as her eyes were close to the binoculars, she let out a cry.

"Oh, let me go, how can I see so clearly. Is this clairvoyance? A god, this must be a god!"

Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui also looked there, and then, like Yuchi Baolin, exclaimed again and again.

"Oh, did you see that the Tubo defeated soldiers, those defeated soldiers fled back to their Tubo barracks. It turns out that Songtsan Gampo is here to wait for these defeated soldiers when he is not going to march?"

Yuchi Baolin said.

Cheng Chuli put down the binoculars and asked, "Brother Baolin, is there anyone in our soldiers who can speak Tubo?"

Xue Rengui put down the binoculars and said, "Little Duke, why are you looking for someone who can speak Tubo? I can!"

"what?"

Cheng Chuli was surprised, and asked in disbelief: "How is this possible? How can you speak Tubo? This is unscientific!"

Xue Rengui said: "I did business with the Tubo people in the early years, and I gradually got used to it. Later, I had no problems communicating with them."

Cheng Chuli gave him a thumbs up and said, "In that case, then I will leave this task to you."
