Chapter 313 Audio
Meng Dabao became even angrier, he raised his fist to Mo Hegan's face, but he didn't dare to hit him.

Although full of resentment, Mo Hegan is now a fourth-rank military general of the imperial court, and their immediate superiors. This punch is certainly enjoyable, but the consequences are unimaginable.

Meng Dabao blushed, put down his fist after a long time, and asked, "Why do you say I'm stupid?"

"Have you ever heard of Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei breaking their wrists? That's not enough, so Guan Zhang has to obey Zhuge Liang's orders. Could it be that you are the enemy of Guan Zhang by breaking your wrists?"

"You are not Zhuge Liang either!"

"I'm not Zhuge Liang, as long as I'm smarter than you, it's fine. Also, has Tang Shangshu ever wrestled with your Yingdu? Why? Because the credit is not enough, Tang Xiujing is the Shangshu, and although Wang Yingdu is promoted quickly, he can't do it. It's just a battalion supervisor. How many veterans in your blood battalion have made great contributions? Is it as big as mine? So I am your boss."

He is not stupid. Mo Hegan somehow changed from a Turkic envoy to a Tang Dynasty minister, but as an important Turkic minister, he must know a lot of inside information. Great work.Although he is not ashamed of this kind of behavior, it is reasonable for the Tang Dynasty to designate him as a fourth-rank official.

"Also, with me, because you understand the other party's situation, you will increase your chances of victory. Can you make greater contributions? Will you reduce your sacrifices? Now that I am your general in the middle battalion, not only do you not welcome me, but you also Isn't it stupid to provoke me?"

Meng Dabao made him speechless.

Mo Hegan said: "You all go down, I have something to talk to the battalion governor."

He gave orders directly.

Thousands of soldiers looked at Wang Hua and saw that Wang Hua didn't make a sound, so they had no choice but to back down.

Mo Heqian looked at Wang Hua, shook his head and said: "Wang Yingdu, if you are a soldier, I am not angry. But you have read a lot of poetry and books, and you are also a wise person. Today, the attitude of a soldier in the blood battalion, you Without stopping, I also have a sentence for you, stupid!"

Wang Hua was finally happy and asked, "Why?"

"Even Liu Bang, who was born recklessly, knows how to entrust Yongchi to reassure the heroes. Your Excellency should know that the life and death of six thousand soldiers in the blood camp are unknown, but even if you kill me, it will not help. But if it is because I defected to your country, and Assist the Scarlet Battalion, and love me very much. Then in the future, there will be more tribes on the grassland who will appreciate your generosity, and there will be more tribes who will compromise with your army, or secretly seek refuge. At least reduce the hostility of many tribes. This is a clever plan to disintegrate silently. But if your deeds today are spread, if it is still under the emperor's order, then wouldn't more people be chilled? Are you stupid?"

Wang Hua didn't refute either, it made sense.

Maybe he doesn't have a big stomach, mainly because 6000 people are unknown, and he has a knot in his heart.

"Also, Your Excellency, since you look down on me, you still agree with His Majesty to place me in an important position in the Scarlet Battalion and stay in Turkic for a long time in the future. Are you not afraid of Zhang Fei's death?"

Wang Hua smiled, but still didn't speak, let's see what he said next.

"Besides, Your Excellency, who has risen to fame and constantly challenged others, thinking that he is superior to others, and despises everyone in the world. Hey, Your Excellency is proud of the spring breeze now, but I don't know that there are people in Lu Meng. Once defeated, I don't know how to take care of myself. I don't know Your Excellency. How do the family members take care of themselves, and how do the soldiers of the Blood Camp take care of themselves?"

Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "Well, don't talk about it, what do you want me to do?"

Mo Hegan straightened his waist and said, "I want the battalion governor to treat me as an example, and pave a sunny road for the blood camp to enter the Turks in the future."

"Then how should I treat you?"

"One true and one false."

"What is real and what is false?"

"Really, the governor of the camp has a rich family. Now I have fallen into your country. To be honest, your country used disgraceful means to force me to surrender. Poor Your Majesty said to send someone to pick up my family. I don't know until now. Shadow trace. Why don't you buy a house for me in Xijing, and buy a few beautiful maidservants to be my wives and concubines, so that I can feel at ease."

Wang Hua was stunned, he still wanted a house, beauty?Do you want a car?
"Then what is false?"

"I heard that Yingdu played the piano for your brother-in-law and Zhang Ruoxu, and the two people's reputations have spread all over the world. Why don't Yingdu play the piano for me, and then write a poem, so that it will make Yingdu more tolerant, maybe It will be passed down as a story in history."

I have to play the piano and compose poems for him myself.

Wang Hua almost choked to death, and now the citizens say that his cheap Taoist master is wretched, and this Mo Hegan looks even more wretched than that Taoist priest.

He said: "Really, I can buy a little for you, but to tell you the truth, I need a lot of money right now, and you don't expect me to spend much money on you. If you really want it, Cheng Sheng has not yet Leave Xijing and ask her to go. Don’t even think about the ones behind.”

Wang Hua knew his intentions. It was not for the benefit of the blood camp, nor for his own benefit. He wanted to use these things to let the soldiers of the blood camp see that he respected him. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to develop with this attitude. Continue to stay in the blood camp.

Mo Heqian said with a grin: "Forget it, I'm easy to be satisfied. Seeing that you gave me half of the favor, I have something to say. Why are you still staying in Liangjing, why don't you go to the border soon?"

"Why?" Wang Hua asked playfully.

"Wang Yingdu, you have been promoted so quickly because of your loyalty to the Holy Majesty. But what form is it now? For the sake of the throne, all parties have evolved to the point of betraying the blood camp and the interests of the country. Now the two capitals are A big oven, you just want to be a lonely minister, stay in this big oven, you also need to get some sparks. It is possible that several parties deliberately lead the fire to you. At that time, you will not be worth the loss. Only when you go to the border , keep making military exploits, just like General Guo Yuanzhen, when the political situation in the imperial court stabilizes, no matter who finally ascends to the throne, you will continue to be reused for your military exploits. This is the best strategy."

The strategy is good, in fact, Wang Huacong entered the army, that's what he planned to do.But the reason why he didn't leave Xijing was that Wang Hua still had some arrangements, and by the way, he was also waiting for the whereabouts of the two blood battalion soldiers.

Wang Hua didn't explain it, and it was more playful. Looking at Mo Hegan, he thought in his heart that this man had not been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and he was keenly aware of this. It seems that Ye Hun said he was Mo Chuan's important confidant , It's not exaggeration, he has a little ability, he asked: "Then which side do you think will win in the end?"

Mo Heqian shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, even after the death of the holy dragon body, we can't immediately judge which side won in the end, at least it will take several years to see the signs. But no matter who is the winner, There is no need for Wang Yingdu to participate in this competition, the gain is small and the loss is great. Also, if the judgment is wrong, because of Wang Yingdu's talent, he may fall into a place of eternal doom."

His opinion was pertinent and his judgment was correct, but Wang Hua knew that his ultimate goal was to show his talent to himself in order to attract his attention.If he doesn't get his own recognition, it will be difficult for him to stay in the blood camp.I'm afraid that he himself is the same as himself, wanting to avoid being strangled in the next few years due to the issue of the throne.

Wang Hua patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go back."

This action can be regarded as some permission to him.

He took Mo Hegan out of the barracks, and it was already the second watch, when the north wind blew, and there were a few strands of cold snowflakes in the air.

Wang Hua couldn't help but stop and looked to the north.

Winter is coming in this howling cold wind and in these wisps of snowflakes.

Yet he became more worried.

But a few days later, he finally got the first good news. Since Li Yi agreed to Zhang Shougui's peace agreement, he didn't dare to delay the time.He immediately sent people to Youzhou as quickly as possible. He didn't want to surprise the people of the Tang Dynasty in advance, but he wanted to let the people of Tang leave time to prepare supplies, so that when the soldiers of the blood battalion arrived in Youzhou, they would immediately send all the goods to Youzhou. Bring back.

Xue Na left Comrade Wei, and was appointed by Wu Zetian as the Jiedu Ambassador of Youzhou Township, also known as Jiedu Envoy.This is also the first Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty.From a strategic point of view, it is beneficial. War is not only about soldiers, but also reserves from the people, as well as the transfer of food, weapons, and civil affairs. For example, Wang Hua took over the battle in Fanzheng, not to mention paying for it himself. Some of the responsibilities of the county magistrate were overthrown, and the formation of city defense, supplies, and the resistance of the people and so on.

According to the original rules, the governor only cares about the military and does not care about civil affairs. Once the war comes, the military must also be placed on the civil affairs. If you want to make a strict distinction, it will definitely hinder you.Therefore, Lao Wu gave this position. In addition to being in charge of Bingjia, Jiazhan, rations and garrison, he also has the right to kill officials with a value of less than [-] shi, and has the right to intervene in economic strategy, camping, transshipment and salt animal husbandry.

This is for Lao Wu to allow the general in charge to flexibly mobilize all available resources to deal with the urgent border situation when the border general is at the border.But when Li Longji saw the results later, he took a big step forward and directly delegated the powers such as business strategy and farming to the Jiedushi, and even the handling of interviews was handed over to the Jiedushi for management.In this way, all the civil affairs, wealth, judiciary, supervision, and military affairs within the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi are in the hands of the Jiedushi.

Jiedushi is convenient for the military, but the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, Xue Na now has great power in Youzhou. He received an agreement between Yi Li and Zhang Shougui, and a letter from Zhang Shougui, in which he wrote out all the events before and after.He also heard a little about the leak of the blood camp plan.After seeing it, he immediately knew the importance of the matter, and agreed to Yi Li's messenger.He gave some heavy gifts and asked the envoy to return to Pugu immediately. Time is very important. I don’t know how many soldiers Wang Jun has left, but the sooner the better, the safer they are. After all, they are still in the depths of the enemy. There is also the possibility of leaks.

Also, this incident itself is of great significance. If there are hundreds of soldiers in the blood camp, and they can return to the Tang Dynasty safely under such a frantic interception by the Turks, one can imagine the blow to the morale of the Turks.And Ponggu's participation in this matter can even drag Tie Le's nine surnames into the water. With this force restraining Mochuo on the grassland, it will be more beneficial to the strategic arrangement of the Tang Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty. It can be imagined Know.

At the same time, he immediately wrote a secret performance and sent it to Wu Zetian with a speedy horse of [-] miles.

At this time Wu Zetian arrived in Tongguan, and after receiving this memorial, she was overjoyed.Originally, he wanted to gather the officials to share the good news, but after thinking about it, he put down the memorial and sighed.It is possible that these ministers will notify their masters of this matter again, and it may be sent to the Turks again.They also summoned Wang Hua and Mo Hegan to Tongguan with fast horses.

So the car stopped at Tongguan.

The ministers still don't know what happened. Although the driving is different from that of the army, the speed can't be faster, but now the weather is cold, and Tongguan is a dangerous place, but it is a small place after all. Such a large group of people stay in Tongguan , First of all, supply is a headache.

But four days later, I saw Wang Hua coming in a hurry on a horse. Did something big happen?

But in my heart, I was very envious of Lao Wu's respect for Wang Hua.

After seeing the old Wu, Wu Zetian handed the memorial written by Xue Na to the two of them. After Mo Heqian read it, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in me."

Even the prime minister has not known about this matter until now, and even the covenant between the Tang Dynasty and Pugu will not be known to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for a long time to come.Now that Lao Wu showed it to him, as long as he releases the news, he will take the blame and do meritorious service, return to Turkic calmly, and the bone servant will also usher in a disaster.Of course, the soldiers of the blood battalion had returned long ago, but Tang Chao lost this latent ally, and the loss to Tang Chao was also great.

Even Wang Hua had no doubts about the old martial artist, and was deeply impressed.

But now he doesn't think about it.He was thinking that there were only 2000 soldiers left, and after another battle, more than 700 Turkic soldiers were annihilated. The blood camp was victorious. How many people would be left? 600 people? 500 people? 400 people or [-] people?

Thinking of leaving the camp, but three thousand soldiers, although it is better than annihilating the whole army, but thinking about the countless tragic battles that have taken place in the past few months, tears flowed down his cheeks.

Wu Zetian glanced at him. Regarding Wang Hua's "indecisive and compassionate" character, Wu Zetian actually held an objection.However, he is a courtier, and this kind of character will make him lack more ambitions, which may not be a bad thing.Therefore Wu Zetian did not remind.

She said: "Wang Qing, there is no need to be sad, this result is much better than expected."

"Yes," Wang Hua replied.What Lao Wu said made sense. In his budget, the army in the Northeast was the most difficult to break through. I didn't expect to get the news of this army's return first.

Mo Heqian knelt down again and said, "I still have something to say."

"Let's talk," Wu Zetian said, she called Mo Hegan over, and showed him the news, one is to win people's hearts, and the other is that Mo Hegan is an important minister who knows the situation on the grassland very well. There is also an important adviser of the Turks, and even many of the strategies of Mochuo are planned by him.

As for how to make the most of the opportunity created by the blood camp Zhang Shougui when he was cornered, maybe Mo Hegan would have a better suggestion.

Mo Hegan said: "Your Majesty, the strategy formulated by Mochu at the beginning was to mainly expand the interests of the Turkic people, adopt a strategy of suppressing the nine surnames of Tiele and the thirteen tribes in the north, and prevent their growth, so as to prevent the emergence of Xue Yantuo (this One is a branch of the Tiele people). Therefore, the situation of the nine surnames of Tiele and the thirteen tribes in the north is not very good. This time, Tiele took the initiative to return to our dynasty. This is an opportunity. The influence of the Nine Surnames is very great. If Your Majesty spares no expense in sending money to other tribes of the Nine Surnames through emissaries to the chiefs of the Pugu Department. In this way, more Tie Le Nine Surnames will return to our dynasty. If there is a war at that time, I'm going to be able to hold more initiative."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he glanced at Wang Hua. At that time, Wang Hua mentioned some ways to deal with the Turkic people in the policies written by Wang Hua when he was in Luoyang Chunwei.Disintegrate and divide the Turkic ministries, send scouts to inquire about Turkic news, build a powerful army, and flexibly deal with Turkic invasions, etc.Weakened the Tujue step by step, and finally when they declined, the army struck with a thunderbolt and wiped the Turks from the grassland.

Unknowingly, Wang Hua's status in her heart became higher, but neither Wang Hua nor Mo Hegan knew it.

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "Speaking of it, it's my people, my people, why should I be stingy with some money and silk. But this matter is a bit difficult to operate, and there are many people involved, and the possibility of leaks will increase. Instead, it brought them bad results."

Wang Hua and Mo Hegan were stunned. When did the nine surnames of Tie Le become the people of our dynasty, her people, but the two of them would not argue with her on this issue, and they heard her voice, not because they were afraid of the wind Leaked, but afraid that Yi and Li would not dare to be the intermediary.

Mo Hegan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Tie Le's nine surnames are not a single piece of steel, but there are always some friendly tribes in Pugu, and he will send these money and silk to help them and strengthen their friendship. Some different friendly tribes in the Bone Department, if there is a capable minister in command, it will be like a snowball, and more tribes will be rolled in, and in the end it may be better than the effect of tens of millions of troops."

Wang Hua also raised his head and looked at Mo Hegan. This guy seemed to be quite skilled.

Wu Zetian nodded, but she looked at Wang Hua and asked, "Wang Qing, who do you think will be in charge of this matter?"

Wang Hua felt very miserable when he heard that, unexpectedly, Wu Zetian didn't know which minister should be trusted, which proved that Lao Wu could no longer completely control the ministers. Retrieved on the track.

He was silent for a while, and said, "If it's believable, there's only one person."

"that?"

"Song Jing."

"Yes, he is a suitable candidate."

"But Your Majesty, I have a request. I want to take the blood battalion to the northwest. Please allow me to have some flexible military operations at that time."

"Why?" Wu Zetian asked puzzled.Now the main task is to resolve the alliance between Mo Chuo, Wu Zhile and Da Zuorong.If some drastic actions are taken at this time, it will further promote their deepening of the alliance.Or it was too late for Wang Hua to make the soldiers of the Scarlet Battalion escape out of shock.

"The Blood Camp in the Northeast has not had any major conflicts with Da Zuorong so far. Although he was very angry with what he did some time ago, it has pushed the Blood Camp to such an extent that the anger should have dissipated. There is no serious conflict. It is easier to negotiate a peace. Even if he wants to join forces, he will watch Mochuo and Wuzhile's actions before making a real decision. But the northwest side makes me a little worried. If the blood camp wants to rush back, It is bound to go west, deepening the conflict. Even if the Weishe people go, it may not be possible to reach an agreement. There may be the disaster of Su Wu. These nomads, like wolves, sometimes have to be subdued before they will be afraid. But I will go to the northwest, and I will play by ear."

Hearing Wang Hua describe the nomads as wolves, Mo Hegan stood aside without saying a word.

"That's good, don't make too many enemies." Wu Zetian instructed.

Wang Hua nodded, and said, "But I have to borrow something from the crown prince."

"what?"

"cotton."

This time, Li Xian has grown a lot of cotton in the thousands of acres of farms.But some were spun into cotton cloth, and some were given away as quilts.At the beginning, I didn't know how to use it, so I just stuffed the cotton into the quilt cover.In the end, Wang Hua reminded him, made a cotton bow, plucked the cotton, and then netted twine or cotton thread.Therefore, there is not much cotton in stock.

And because of its rarity, the price of cotton is now sky-high. A catty of cotton can be sold for more than 100 renminbi, and the supply of cottonseed is in short supply.But Wang Hua uses cotton to make cotton coats, and it is not yet luxurious enough to make real cotton coats. The main reason is that it is too expensive and too little to afford.Wang Hua's plan was to use animal skins as coats, linen linings as linings, and stuff them with cotton wool to keep the soldiers warm.

There are also horse vests and horse leggings, which are also made of cotton, but the guts are made of oilcloth to prevent them from being soaked in snow water.Although this will make the horse's movements clumsy, it can improve the horse's ability to resist the cold.Conversely, because of the heat preservation, it is possible that the war horse will not be frozen because of the limbs, but it will become relatively flexible in cold weather.

This is his idea, and how effective it will be depends on practice.

Wang Hua came to Tongguan only for a while, and then went back.The minister left countless guesses, but after more than ten days, he was puzzled when he heard that the Scarlet Battalion was heading northwest. Now it has entered the winter month. In this cold weather, it is not the season for expedition, so I asked Tang Xiujing.

Tang Xiujing spread her hands and said she didn't know.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they also felt embarrassed. If they continue to doubt like this, how will the government continue to implement it in the future.

This may have become a serious crisis in the Tang Dynasty.

The weather was getting colder and colder, so Wang Hua took the 6000 Blood Battalion soldiers who had been streamlined, all the way west.This may be the composition of the soldiers of the real Scarlet Battalion in the future.If after the First World War, after attrition, even if they can escape, it is estimated that there will not be too many soldiers in the Old Blood Battalion, and they may not be more than [-] people.

On November [-]th, the army came to Lanzhou.But some scouts came back and reported that there was a group of more than a dozen following them for a long time.

Hearing this, Wang Hua was very disgusted, and he said: "Catch them all immediately."

After a while, all of them were arrested, but Wang Hua looked from a distance, but he didn't see them all tied up. Instead, dozens of scouts were nodding and bowing their heads, chatting with them all the way, walking all the way.

Wang Hua was a little strange.He galloped over on his horse, and at a glance, he understood that it was Li Chiying who followed with his guards.

Seeing Wang Hua's reproachful eyes, Li Chiying looked at him with aggrieved big eyes.
