Chapter 183 Chapter 192: Borrowing troops from Western Turks

On the third day after the night of robbing the camp, a fast horse rushed into Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang. Passengers and horses along the way gave way one after another. Even the guards of the city did not step forward to stop it, because they knew that it was the messenger of the battle report.

"What! The [-] army was robbed, and more than half of it was lost!" After reading the battle report, Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, suddenly threw the battle report on the ground and roared angrily, "That idiot Zhang Lan, death is not a pity! Come on! "

When the two bronze-armored guards entered the hall to salute, Qu Wentai said in a loud voice: "General Zhang Lan of Lingjiang is ignorant and incompetent, and has no way to lead the army. As a result, I lost all [-] elites in Gaochang. This king issued an order to capture Zhang Lan. The title of the title, the search of the mansion, all the members of the Zhang family, will be enslaved!"

"Yes!" The two bronze-armored guards led the order to leave the hall and went to carry out Qu Wentai's order.

The monarchy of Gaochang had a serious concentration of power, and it was almost the king's words. At this moment, Qu Wentai was so angry that none of the ministers in the palace dared to speak easily, lest his anger be affected.

Qu Wentai paced back and forth anxiously in the hall for a long time, then suddenly turned around and glanced at the ministers, and asked loudly, "I don't believe it. With the strength of my Gaochang and the whole country, I still can't win the little Tingzhou! Which general is willing to take command and conquer Tingzhou?" !"

The prince Qu Zhisheng from the rear suddenly stepped forward and said, "Father, my son requests to lead the troops to conquer Tingzhou in person. Within ten days, Tingzhou will definitely be conquered! Dedicated to the father!"

If someone else asked for a fight, Qu Wentai probably agreed immediately, but now it is his son who is asking for a fight, and he is still the crown prince, how could he put him in danger, frowned, and said: "Zhi Sheng, you have never commanded soldiers and horses, Don't go out, don't tell me there is no real man in my Gaochang country except the prince!"

A group of ministers were humiliated by this sentence, and two generals wanted to go forward to ask for a fight. At this time, Gaochang Prime Minister Chakesuier came out and asked to play: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Qu Wentai saw that he was the most trusted prime minister, his expression softened a little, and he spread his hands and said, "Speak!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chakesui'er raised his head and said slowly, "Your Majesty, General Zhang Lan of Lingjiang was incompetent and ruined nearly ten thousand of my Gaochang elites. Now I have only [-] troops left in Gaochang. Even if Tingzhou is conquered, it will take a lot of damage."

Qu Wentai was not happy when he heard the words, he frowned and said, "Then according to what you mean, you are going to give up attacking Tingzhou?"

"That's not the case." Chakesuier said, "Your Majesty, we are short of troops, so we can ask for help from the Western Turks. The Western Turks are powerful, and it is easy to capture Tingzhou."

Qu Wentai still frowned and said: "If the Western Turks are called to capture Tingzhou, then Tingzhou will belong to the Western Turks, and what benefits can this king gain!"

Chakesuier respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the territory of Western Turks is very large, and the transportation between Tingzhou and Tingzhou is inconvenient, so Tingzhou is dispensable to Western Turks. If Your Majesty really wants Tingzhou, you only need to give it Yipidulu Khan offered a generous gift, and Yipidulu Khan would definitely agree with it."

Qu Wentai's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he realized that this trick is indeed feasible. It is equivalent to spending money to buy thugs. They have been operating on the Silk Road for many years in Gaochang, and the most important thing is money. The floor of his hall is paved with gold tiles , Many decorations in the hall are also made of gold. He is rich, so he will be willful.

"Okay, it really is a clever plan!" Qu Wentai clapped his hands and laughed, pointing at Chake Suier, and said, "Then the king will condemn you to send troops to the Western Turks, and ask them to send troops to help attack Tingzhou. Take 1 taels of gold and present it to Yipidulu Khan, and when I get Tingzhou, I will give you another 2 taels of gold."

"The minister respects the decree."

Ten days later, Chakesuier brought 1 taels of gold to visit Yipidulu Khan of the Western Turks. Yipidulu asked Chakesuier to stay for two days, and then called civil and military officials to discuss sending troops.

Western Turks have long been watching Datang for a long time, but Datang is too powerful and Western Turks are developing, and they dare not provoke Datang easily. Datang may ignore the little Gaochang, but if When encountering the Western Turks, even if it consumes a lot of financial resources, they will pour out their troops to attack. Therefore, Gaochang has often cut flesh on Datang over the years, but the Western Turks are very stable.

When Yipi Duolu told the intention of the Gaochang envoy, the ministers had different opinions, and they could be roughly divided into two factions, the radical and the conservative. It's very simple. It's not worth offending Datang for 3 taels of gold. Money is a good thing, but you have to spend your life. If Datang is really angered, then the Western Turks are also in danger. To be able to send troops to attack them, the journey is a little farther, and more manpower, material and financial resources are needed. Datang is very rich, as long as you are ruthless, there is nothing you can't do.

In the meeting hall, there was actually a woman, wearing silver armor and white badges, with a beautiful appearance and raised phoenix eyebrows, she looked like a heroic female general, she was very conspicuous among the crowd, she met Li Hao at the Longmen Inn The woman in white, the one Li Hao called Xiao Di.

Most of the generals present were militants, basically radicals, but she opposed sending troops and stood on the conservative side, which made many generals unhappy.

Yipidulu was also curious about the female general in silver armor standing on the side of the conservatives, so he called her by name and asked her: "Dililarna, you are usually very brave, and you take the initiative to ask for help whenever there is a war, why didn't you support sending troops this time?" state?"

No one knows Dililarna's thoughts. In fact, he doesn't want Li Hao to die, because she knows that Li Hao is the governor of Tingzhou. Li Hao once saved her life, and she is very open-minded. , so he tried his best to oppose sending troops to Tingzhou.

Facing Yipidulu's question, Dililarna cupped her hands and replied: "Khan, our Western Turks have become stronger and stronger in recent years, and our national strength has taken off. This is an important opportunity for a strong country. It is not appropriate to start a war lightly. Formidable enemy, not only all these years of hard work will be in vain, I am afraid that the entire Western Turks will suffer disaster."

"Hmph, when did General Laerna become so timid and fearful?" A golden-armored general with blue eyes and hooked nose snorted coldly, "It's simply to boost other people's ambitions and destroy our own prestige. Our Western Turkic military strength in recent years Zhengxiong, across thousands of miles, which country is our opponent, don't they even have the guts to take down a small town on the border of the Tang Dynasty!"

Dililarna said coldly: "General Ebidor, you have never been to the Tang Dynasty in your life, and you have never fought against the people of the Tang Dynasty. You don't know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is. Now you dare to speak out here, don't you realize Ashamed?"

"Stinky girl! What are you talking about!" Ebidor shouted with wide eyes, as if he was about to fight.

Dililarna didn't budge, she also stared at him, and said coldly, "I am General Ningyuan personally appointed by the Great Khan! How dare you insult me ​​again!"

Seeing this, Yipi Duolu hurriedly intervened, waved his hands and said, "You two generals, don't quarrel, just speak up if you have something to say, Ebidor, you are indeed going too far, General Dililarna is a hero among women, three stinky girls Word, don't say it again in the future."

"Yes, profusely." Ebido answered with a nod of his head in resentment, secretly glanced at Dililarna, and whispered disdainfully, "Women should go home to hold their children, and run out to fight some kind of war. They are more fierce than men. No wonder no one Dare to marry." The voice was so low that no one could hear it.

After a while, there was still no result. Yipi Duulu decided to vote by show of hands. Western Turkic officials had fewer civil servants and more generals. In the end, the radicals won. Yipi Duulu immediately announced that he would send [-] troops to attack Tingzhou.

Dililarna didn't expect such a result, she was a little bit unwilling, and went out again, saying: "Khan, I have something to say at the end."

Yipidulu spread his hands and said, "General Laerna, please speak."

Dililarna said: "The general thinks that it is inappropriate to send troops, so it is better to borrow troops instead."

"Borrowing soldiers?" Yipidulu was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned and thought for a while, then understood what she meant, and asked, "General Laerna means that we borrow troops from Gaochang and let them attack Tingzhou by themselves. It has nothing to do with us, and if Datang wants to pursue it at that time, it will not involve us Western Turks, right."

"Khan is wise." Tilarna cupped her fists and said, "This is exactly what the last general means."

"Yeah." Yipidulu nodded and pondered, "Larna's words are very reasonable, what do you think?"

The generals naturally objected, if that was the case, they would have no chance to make meritorious deeds, but the civil officials agreed one after another, because this method is more compromised, it will not offend Datang, and it will not give those generals the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, it seems that no matter what No matter which country you are in, there is a custom that civil and military should be compared with each other.

Yipi Duolu thought for a while, waved his hands to silence everyone, and said slowly: "Ben Khan thinks Dililarna's method is quite safe, so let's do it this way, who is willing to send troops to Gaochang?"

Asked in one sentence, no one came up to take the task for a long time, Yipi Duolu was very embarrassed, after all, this is a hard job, and there is no battle merit to be gained, so naturally no one wants to be taken advantage of.

"Is no one willing to go?" Yipidulu was unhappy, frowning and scanning the officials.

At this time, Ebidor suddenly said: "Great Khan, since the method of borrowing troops was proposed by Dililarna, I think it is most appropriate to send her to send troops."

Yipidulu nodded when he heard the words, and felt that what he said made sense, besides, he urgently needed someone to take over the task, otherwise he would be too embarrassed, so he said: "Dililarna, you will definitely not call Ben Khan is disappointed, right?"

Of course Dililarna didn't want to go. Wouldn't it be the same as helping Gao Chang to harm Li Hao, so she wondered: "Khan, I will be busy with military training at the end of the day. It's a critical moment and I don't have time to get out."

Yipi Duolu waved his hand and said: "There is no hurry to train soldiers. Ben Khan will leave the military training to your father for the time being. You go back to clean up and take 5 horses to Gaochang tomorrow."

"Fifty thousand?" Dililarna was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Khan, why do you need [-] troops to attack a small Tingzhou?"

The rest of the people were also puzzled for a while. When they said they would send troops to attack Tingzhou, they said that there would be [-] soldiers and horses, but now it has become [-].

Yipidulu suddenly smiled secretly, and said: "Before departure tomorrow, when you see Chakesuier, the envoy of Gaochang, tell him what the king said, and dispatch a soldier, they will give you an extra two taels of silver. For a soldier, they have to give an extra tael of gold, hehe, if they dispatch 10 soldiers, they will give an extra [-] taels of silver."

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard the words, it turned out that he wanted to make money, and this method was really good.

Dililarna frowned, and asked, "Khan, what if Chaksuier refuses to agree?"

Yipi Duolu raised his eyebrows and said: "Then let them go and conquer Tingzhou by themselves, Ben Khan is too lazy to bother."

　Regarding Wu Zetian, many readers have many opinions, and most of them think that she should be killed before she gains power. In fact, I also had such thoughts, but after thinking about it, there were not many big villains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It would be too wasteful to let such a big villain boss not make good use of it. Let Li Hao and Wu Zetian wrestle with each other, so that everyone will have many wonderful plots to watch, right?Moreover, the protagonist also uses Wu Zetian to defeat an enemy, a very powerful enemy. Note that it is the kind that uses her as a gunman. It is inconvenient to disclose the specific plot. Let's wait and see.Finally, I would like to say that this article is not abusive, it is a mildly refreshing article, and the humorous style will continue, and other styles will be added in the middle, so there will be no conflicts. I wish you a happy reading.
