Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 545
Zhuge Qingyun actually understood Mongolian, but he kept pretending that he didn't understand. He just sat silently in his seat and looked at them blankly.

Only in this way, they will not shy away from him when they talk.He can also get more useful information.

Zhuge Qingyun is very relieved now. It seems that Tang Lan has learned a lot from his side, and has also grown a lot, and even learned how to use suspicion.

This spy has sworn to their "Longevity", which means that he is not mistaken.

As for why there were so many more people suddenly, Zhuge Qingyun didn't need to think about it, he knew it was a "suspect strategy".

The fact is indeed like this. After Tang Lan and Duan Yunxian "joined forces", the defense arrangement on Tongguan was also completely completed, and Duan Yunxian also reported his battle situation to Tang Lan.

After thinking about it, Tang Lan decided to use the trick of "All grass and trees are soldiers", so she sent some people to tie the horse fodder stored in Tongguan into grass figures.Then put the armor on the straw man and put on the helmet.If you look at it from a distance, it is indeed "crowded".

Tang Lan's bluffing to create pressure on the Mongolian army was also to reduce the pressure on Zhuge Qingyun's side. If the Mongolian scouts came to investigate, they would see only 2000 guards, and they would definitely not bring large troops over.

If they used the "refueling tactic" to attack and consume Tang Lan's firearms, and then surrounded them so that they could not replenish them, Tang Lan would be very passive.Zhuge Qingyun also had to make some tactical adjustments.

Only when they see that Tongguan is "crowded" and "overcrowded" will they mobilize and retake Tongguan.

Although this Mongolian spy was a bit "exaggerated", at first glance, his estimation was not wrong.

Zhuge Qingyun was having a meeting, while Tang Lan was resting.

After all, everyone had been busy all night, so Tang Lan asked the soldiers to go down in batches to rest and recharge their batteries.

Then the girls from Vulture Palace will be "on duty" for the time being, and when the enemy comes, the soldiers will go up to the city wall to defend the city.

After listening to the spy's report, the general guarding the city winked at the interpreter beside him, so the interpreter truthfully reported what the spy just said to Zhuge Qingyun.

At this time, the general guarding the city looked at Zhuge Qingyun, and said in his broken Chinese: "My lord, what should we do now?"

At this time, Zhuge Qingyun suppressed the smile in his heart, and said without changing his face: "From my point of view, this matter is a big one, and it's better to ask the prince and Lord Hou to handle it. It's just a mere master. He is not qualified to intervene in military affairs."

Zhuge Qingyun directly expressed the attitude of "don't want to care".

This made the general who defended the city anxious, because losing the city pass is a felony.

Although he is a Mongolian nobleman, Brother Aribu will still sacrifice his head to the flag.

Moreover, he also had things like eating empty pay and embezzling military funds.If Brother Ali or Wang Ping were allowed to come back to retake Tongguan, then all these things about him would be exposed.

Losing the city is already enough to chop off his head, and with these things, his family, wife and daughter will definitely be filled with low status.

The most cruel to the Mongols is not the Han people, but the Mongols themselves.

The Mongol Empire is not as monolithic as it looks, let alone the battles between the princes of the Tuolei, Wokuotai, and Chagatai families.

Even among grassroots Mongols, there is a mutual "chain of contempt". This is because Genghis Khan used more cruel methods than conquering other countries in the war to unify Mongolia.

Therefore, although the Mongols of various Mongolian tribes have been fused together, they are still at odds with each other.

It's just that now they can bully the Han people, the Semu people, or other people, which makes them so united and safeguard the common interests of the Mongolian Empire.

But without these, they themselves will go to a new division.

Although the city guard general was a Mongolian nobleman, he was not a member of the Golden Family, not even an in-law.

If brother Ali finds out about losing the city and embezzlement of Mo's military salary, then he will die.

Zhuge Qingyun had an insight into his thoughts, so he used a trick of "advancing through retreat".

Only in this way can he lead his troops out of the city obediently, and dispatch all his troops to regain Tongguan.

The general guarding the city looked at the commanders of other strongholds at this time. These people usually took advantage of him, so naturally they obeyed him.

The general guarding the city gave them a wink, and then a Mongolian commander stood up, saluted Zhuge Qingyun deeply, and said, "My lord, please show us a clear path."

Although the affairs of Chang'an are all deployed by Zhuge Qingyun now, but Zhuge Qingyun only cares about the deployment of military resources and does some small things on the issue of city defense, but he doesn't care about the army.

Tongguan was lost, even if Brother Ali and Wang Ping came back aggressively, Zhuge Qingyun would not be held accountable.

It can only be held accountable by the military chiefs. The general who defends the city is out of luck. As his immediate subordinates, the thousands of commanders, even if they don't eat "melon drops" together, they won't be much better.

These "grasshoppers" on a rope naturally asked Zhuge Qingyun for an idea.

But Zhuge Qingyun remained silent. He said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I am only entrusted by the prince and Lord Hou to handle the administrative affairs of Chang'an. I have no right to intervene in other matters. I got a secret report about the loss of Tongguan, so I called everyone to discuss it."

"To be precise, you are discussing, and I am just a bystander. After all, losing a pass is a 'big matter'. As the chief recorder in charge of the affairs of Chang'an City, I have the responsibility to report to the prince and the marquis."

"It's just that this is a big matter, and if it's reported without confirmation, I'm afraid it's going to involve a lot of people." Therefore, I specially invited everyone here today to discuss it."

Zhuge Qingyun's words were intended to be heard by Chang'an guards, and his words were even a bit inconsistent, but they all understood that Zhuge Qingyun was "pointing" them.

He, Zhuge Qingyun, can stay out of the matter "with ten fingers not touching the spring water", but if such a big incident happened, these Mongolian officials should be punished to some extent, and let them weigh it themselves.

After listening to Zhuge Qingyun's words, the guard also bowed respectfully to Zhuge Qingyun, and then said: "My lord just used a little plan to win Hanzhong, the strategic place of the Song Dynasty, for the prince. A way to take back Tongguan."

"Counting all the strongholds, there are still nearly [-] garrison troops in the hands of the last general, and he has heavy cavalry, siege equipment, and the master's master's tricks. It is just a matter of lifting Tongguan."

"Please don't disturb the prince and Lord Hou's elegance just because of such a little 'trivial matter'. After the final will be brought back to Tongguan, the Master Registrar will report it at no later time."

What the guard thought was that as long as Tongguan was recaptured, it would be a matter of reporting the matter or not. After all, nothing major happened.

At that time, he can bribe Zhuge Qingyun and give some "small gifts" to his civil and military colleagues.Keep it under wraps.

Even if he reported it, he would be regarded as a remedy for the dead, and the punishment would be lighter if he made a meritorious deed.At least he can do some tricks to hide things like empty pay.

Although Zhuge Qingyun was a little happy that his "trick" had succeeded, he did not agree to him easily.

And continue to pretend to be difficult, and then turn around, pretending to think.

At this moment, the guard general of Chang'an waved to the other commanders, and then they all stood up and bowed to Zhuge Qingyun and said, "Please give me your advice, my lord."

Seeing that it was almost done, Zhuge Qingyun turned around at this time, pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay then, but this matter is a big one, I can't make the decision easily, I'd better listen to everyone's opinions Good." Zhuge Qingyun pretended to be afraid of taking "responsibility", and looked at the officials of the various yamen in Chang'an City on the other side.
