Chapter 484 Jon and Thunder ([-])
But Hu Dayan also knew that the richer the gift, the more he would have to pay.

But it was too rich, not to mention weapons and food, 1 taels of gold was enough to make him feel excited.

He said, "You bring him in first."

See what the Wei family wants, if it can be done, it will be done, and if it can't be done, no matter how generous the gift is, it can't be forced to do it.

It shows that he is still a little clear-headed.

After a while, Wangfu brought in five people, a scribe, and four big men, carrying two boxes.After entering, the scribe made a gesture, and the four big men withdrew from the big tent.

Fu Dayan knew that the box was filled with gold, and his heart was already on fire, but he couldn't show it on his face. He motioned for the scribe to sit down, and then asked, "May I ask Alang Zun's name?"

He spoke Tang Dynasty dialect, but it was not standard, otherwise Alang would not have appeared. He still thought it was a respectful title, but he didn't know that it was a slave's address for his master.

The scribes didn't point it out either. Dao Dayan was a nobleman in Tubo, and he had made many achievements. Now Tubo is very popular, a bit like General Xue Ne, and even has more say than Xue Ne.Therefore, he is also a very face-saving person, and it is not beautiful if it is broken.He smiled slightly and said: "Don't dare, I'm going to Wei Kong, see the general. This time, my master sent some gifts to the general, and also came to rescue you, the general."

Although Di Dayan's Tang dialect is not standard, he has a deep understanding of the Tang Dynasty.When these people from the Tang Dynasty fought on the battlefield, it was rare for them to come up with heroes, but to be honest, even ten Tubo people might not be as good as one Tang person.Obviously he came forward to ask you for help, and he can tell these scribes that you must help.Obviously he borrowed money from you, so it can be said that he borrowed it with confidence.You came to save me, and you can still bring so many rich gifts.Just kidding.But in terms of gifts, Fu Dayan didn't care too much.He asked casually, "Why do I want you to save me?"

"Hey, the general is at Jishi Mountain. Haven't you heard of the memorial written by Wang Hua?"

Di Dayan laughed loudly, and said after laughing: "Wei Kong Alang, do you really think that Wang Hua dares to fight against the power of a country with his own power? This is his rectification of his name. Fortunately, he can gain a foothold in Bazhou. Let him talk it out, Why should I be a thug for your Tang Dynasty?"

When Wei Kong heard that another Wei Kong Alang had come, he felt a little funny and didn't dare to laugh.He hit the table, and Padayan surprised him with this action.This is also money that touches people's hearts. If it was someone else who slapped the table in front of him like this, he would have been annoyed long ago.

"General, the elders in our family are worried that the general will have this idea, so I said to come to rescue the general. Don't you know how dangerous this idea is? Well, listen to me."

Fu Dayan is smiling, I will listen to you and see what you can say.

"General, I said that Wang Hua will definitely send troops to you Tubo. The first point is that you have neglected the relationship between Wang Hua and that Princess Jincheng. Whether you deny it or not, Princess Jincheng is not happy in your Tubo, otherwise it is impossible to keep secrets." Zuo has arrived in our Tang Dynasty capital. The second Wang Hua has a narrow mind and holds grudges. He can even record the hatred of the queen and the king. I don’t believe that you are more important to him than them. We jointly planned to kill Wang Hua. No, he was forced to make a detour back to Beijing from the Western Regions alone, and then caused such a big disturbance. He may not dare to do anything to the Queen, but he will not care about our family and you. This is also the reason why he must send troops. Thirdly, as you said, he has written a memorial. Why he wrote this memorial is to rectify his name. With this righteousness, the court had no choice but to hesitate and dare not send troops easily. But he also needs to fight in order to be like Tang Confess to the people of the world."

Fu Dayan was still smiling all the time. It is possible that there may be a small fight, but the battle will not be too big.Now [-] to [-] troops have been hoarded from Jishishan to Wuhai to prevent Wang Huahui from attacking Tubo on a small scale.

Wei Kong also knew that the first three reasons alone were not enough to impress him, so he continued, "The most important one is that he must fight. General, do you know how many soldiers Wang Hua has in his hand?"

"More than 5, right?" The information he obtained was more accurate than that obtained by the imperial court. After all, as soon as Wang Hua appeared in Lanzhou, it aroused Du Dayan's vigilance.Similarly, he also sent scouts to these states to secretly inquire about the news.

"Then ask the general, how many soldiers were originally stationed in the Scarlet Battalion in Shannan?"

This is also known to Dayan, but it is hard to be sure. It turned out to be five thousand or hundreds of people. Later, some soldiers were transferred one after another. In addition, there were several small-scale conflicts with Tubo some time ago, resulting in casualties. The numbers kept going down, so I had to say, "At first it was about [-] people, and then it was only [-] or so."

In fact, this is also what makes him unhappy. The situation in Tubo has not been very good in the past few years. Otherwise, with these thousands of soldiers, if they wanted to stop Tubo from invading, Tubo would have been wiped out long ago.

"Why has it suddenly become more than 5 people now? You must know that there are only 10,000+ people in the entire eight states," Wei Kong's statement is not accurate. There are only more than 10,000 people in the three counties of Lanzhou, and Lingzhou is slightly better, with more than 1 people.However, due to the large number of Fanzi and the high population mobility, the actual population is more than 5+.This point is similar to Lingnan, and there are large errors.Of course, there are also errors in the interior, such as refugees fleeing their households, but the errors are not as large as these places.But even if there are 10,000+ civilians, it will be very difficult for Wang Hua to gather more than 10,000 soldiers according to the most powerful method of recruiting soldiers on the grassland.Wei Kong continued: "I believe the general also knows that this is the result of Wang Hua recruiting a large number of Dangxiang people, Tuyuhun people, and Qiang people. But these people in the Tang Dynasty did not live too hard. These people never Where was it called? And how many party members lived in Dafeichuan all the way to Jishishan and Dajinchuan? Tuyuhun people? Qiang people? Although it is obvious that he is against you Tubo, but as long as he wins this place and rectifies his name, he will It doesn't matter if I got revenge on you, the main thing is the hundreds of thousands of people from other tribes here. If he gets here, he also gets these people. This will allow him to immediately mobilize more soldiers. Fifty thousand soldiers are nothing to worry about How about 5? 15? Guan Jian can still afford it!"

These words finally hit Fidachu's chest heavily.Wang has a lot of paintings and money, and he still has a large piece of land in his hands that is bigger than Tubo, and unlike Tubo, many areas cannot be planted, and most of this land is suitable for cultivation.Don't doubt that he can't bring in the grain. He has faint connections with many big families behind him. Using this network of relationships, this batch of grain can also be transferred to Eight States, but high shipping costs may be added.But is Wang Hua short of money?Even if there are hundreds of thousands more people, they themselves have some livestock and crops, and what they lack is only a little food, which Wang Hua can afford to support them.

According to this reasoning, even if Wang Hua would take some risks, it was worth his doing.

"Also, I'll ask the general next time. Even if you are sure to use your military strength and terrain advantages to defeat Wang Hua, I believe it will not be so easy. At that time, you will lose your troops and Wang Hua will flee to Oceania, but you still have What are the qualifications to gain a foothold in your country?"

He Dayan couldn't answer anymore.

"But right now there is an opportunity, and if the general can seize this opportunity, you can immediately save yourself from danger."

"what chance?"

"Why does Wang Hua want the Eight States, especially Lingzhou, which has the convenience of a big river, which is a good rear area, and because of the terrain, it can block the imperial army. But the territory of the Eight States is very vast, and now there are many counties , he didn’t even occupy it. After he occupied it, he still needs to be appeased one by one. Therefore, he himself and most of the army are all in the area from Lingzhou to Yanzhou. Do you know what this means?”

How can Dayan not know, this means that from Hezhou to Shanzhou, Lanzhou, Huizhou, and even the southern part of Yuanzhou are empty of troops.He was a little moved, but whether to send troops or not was not a trivial matter.If the country agrees, the dispatch of troops can be carried out immediately.Guan Jian is also hesitant at home. It must be a good thing to win. If he fails, he will be responsible for the consequences.

He pondered and did not answer.

"Also, General, why did you send troops? There are several other reasons. Why did I bring this popular leaderboard in Guanzhong of our Tang Dynasty to your Tubo? Just to tell you, Wang Hua has a shortcoming. He likes to use strange soldiers. It is a big victory, and a big defeat can also be a big defeat. And he has never fought a big battle. This is his weakness. Although he beats you on the leaderboard, but in real large-scale battles, his military ability may not be as good as yours. Still There is a fatal factor, which is not seen in the leaderboard. Although he was eye-catching in previous battles, he was only a coordinator, and almost no one led a battle by himself. That's it, he even overwhelmed you. Not worth it."

Di Dayan couldn't hold back his old face.

That marriage battle was unexpected to him, which made him brood.Now these barbarians in the Central Plains have nothing to do, so they come up with this ranking list again.And the reason for ranking is precisely because of this unintentional battle.Isn't this the pot that doesn't open the pot?

"This is the second. Guan Jian is a soldier. Maybe he recruited a group secretly. But when he didn't tear himself apart from the court, he had to let the Turkic man under his command conceal the court. How many soldiers can he recruit into the barracks? Why? With so many soldiers, he fled to Shannan to recruit all of them. How much combat power can this new recruit have? This is the third. In addition, I brought a lot of things.”

This time, Dayan was finally a little moved, but he never expressed his opinion.But I couldn't help but ask, "What?"

"I brought the topographic maps of all four states from Hezhou to Huizhou, and the distribution map of Wang Hua's army that our family found out. The most important point is that Wang Hua planned it a few years ago to prevent accidents. , so secretly transported 10,000+ stone grains to a valley in Shannan."

"Where is the picture?" Fu Dayan was even more impatient. What is Tubo missing now?It is the food. If Wang Huaren was in Lingzhou and was beyond his reach, he could attack Shanzhou and Hezhou and transport the food back to Jishi Mountain. It would be a great contribution to himself and Tubo.And the most favorable route is not too far from Shannan to Jishishan, or to Wuhai.

"General, don't worry, this is especially related to the safety of our Tang Dynasty. If the general agrees to send troops, I can bring you the map. Otherwise, I will ask my subordinates to bring this map back. Finally, I will bring a promise. If When the general sends troops to Shannan, Wang Hua will definitely be nervous and send his troops back. As long as you can stay with Wang Hua for a while, then our family members will encourage the court and the queen to send troops to Lingyan counties. If you attack twice, it will be him. Our Great Tang Army God General Li Jing is still alive, and will immediately fall apart."

Having said that, Wei Kong stood up, and he opened the box.

It is said that it is 1 taels of gold, not the current one thousand catties.Originally, a catty was only 220 grams, plus 16 taels per catty, now it is only 280 catties.Gold is also very dense, so I brought it in two small boxes.

But it was gold, and when the two boxes were opened, a golden light shot up into the sky, making Dayan's mouth water when he saw it.

Wei Kong is very satisfied with his expression, which is also the intention of converting it into gold.If a piece of flying money is less than [-] coins, it still can't impress this greedy Tibetan.

He continued: "There is a story in China in ancient times, which is called lip death and tooth cold. Now our family is helping the general, and we are also helping our family. As I said just now, he has so many reasons to send troops to your country. Our Tang Dynasty Didn’t the ministers see it? If the general gloated and expected our Tang Dynasty to send troops to fight Wang Hua, that would be impossible. If he were to defeat the general, he would be able to control eight states from Dafeichuan to Jishi and Dajinchuan. It is difficult to gain a foothold. He can support Tuyuhun to establish a country, which is tantamount to supporting a puppet country. Then the next one will definitely threaten our family. When the general is disadvantaged, our family will also be disadvantaged. Therefore, our family brings generous gifts to the general. As long as the general agrees to send troops, let the court see hope. The two sides will attack, and Wang Hua will be defeated and go to Maicheng. Even if he is forced to Oceania, it will be no big deal to you Tubo, our Tang Dynasty, and our family. hindered."

"But your court is not afraid to push him into a hurry?"

Why Tang Chao didn't dare to do anything, not only because of what Wei Kong said, Wang Hua also has a Quanzhen sect, which is a thorn in Tang Chao's heart.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid. But how important is the Hexi Corridor to our Tang Dynasty? Do you know? There is also a vast horse farm. Although Wang Hua said in the memorial that the imperial court should continue to operate, it is in the hands of Wang Hua. You said that the imperial court Don't worry? Just because these two courts will send troops under favorable conditions. Many people in the court are waiting and watching. If the general can give us a chance in the Tang Dynasty, I believe many people will not let it go. Our queen is more I won't let it go."

The last sentence made Du Dayan feel relieved.

What kind of master Webster is, Du Dayan also heard a lot of news.As for Wang Hua, she might be the first to be unwilling to let him gain a foothold under her nose.

Wei Kong went on to say: "Moreover, our imperial court is not without support. Although his schemes are not cunning, many relatives are still in our Tang Dynasty, and there is even a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law who are officials in the court. Our court just He forced out of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't intend to harm his life. This is a kind of balance. What if the court marry the princess to him again? But the first premise is not to let him continue to run amok in Bazhou, otherwise it will immediately fuel his desire ambition."

Having said that, he stood up and said, "General, can you go with me to Damang Ridge?"

Damang Ridge is not too far from here, only about [-] miles away, and it takes a while to ride a horse.

There are many carriages at the foot of Damang Ridge, all of which are neatly parked.

The Wei family didn't bring much goods to Dayan. If there was a railway, a few train skins would be taken away.

But the current means of transportation are too primitive.Even this batch of goods, there is no way to transport them all at once.However, the first batch of shipments were mainly weapons, and the wear and tear of weapons was going to be great.

Wei Kong opened the carriages one by one, which was also very spectacular.

Although these weapons are nothing to a country, at most two thousand soldiers are armed.But for a family, it is also a big price to pay.This is enough to prove the sincerity of the Wei family.

Wei Kong was even more satisfied when he saw Fu Dayan's greedy eyes flashing again.Because he knew that Dayan had basically agreed in his heart, and with the persuasion of Wang Fu who had been bribed by him, the task had almost been completed.

Moreover, as Tubo feeds war with war, the biggest beneficiary of the success of this battle is not Tubo, but Dayan himself.

He would personally swallow these weapons, and get the bulk of the spoils.In this way, he can personally get hundreds of thousands of money.At the beginning, Zheng's family did not hesitate to show their ugly face in order to obtain tens of thousands of money every year, and conspired to seize Wang Hua's property.What's more, the poor Tubo, even though Da Dayan is a nobleman of Tubo, is it possible to compare with the Zheng family?
"As long as the general agrees, these are yours."

Di Dayan pondered for a long time before saying: "Rong Mou wants to pay."

Wei Kong knew that he was pretending to be reserved, so he didn't point it out.

At night, Chu Dayan called him into the big tent and asked a question: "Wei Kong Alang, I ask you, are you afraid that I will swallow this batch of goods privately and not send troops?"

"I believe in the general's character. But if the general really does that, I believe our family will not be happy either. In fact, we don't have another solution, as long as we sincerely marry the princess to Wang Hua, and then send someone to mediate Persuasion, I believe that Wang Hua will also be satisfied. You have heard a little bit about Wang Hua's feelings for our Princess Anle, right? At that time, we will persuade the queen and force Wang Hua to send troops with all our strength. Zhou Maozhou sent troops to Jinchuan, let General Manager Guo send troops to Dafeichuan, although the general has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it will be difficult to take care of the end, this result is not what the general expected."

Di Dayan's face changed, and then he laughed and said: "Where, where, I was just playing a joke with A Lang."

In fact, he really thought about it.

But after thinking about it, I also feel that the Wei family has a backup.This family cannot be underestimated. Now that Empress Wei is in charge of the wind and rain in the Tang Dynasty, covering the sky with one hand, there is no need to offend them.

Dayan paused, and then said: "I promised you."

Now that he agreed, it would be easy, Wei Kong took out a few maps from his pocket.

Di Dayan had already called all his confidantes into the tent, and seeing these maps, he was even more powerful.There are maps, but each map is not detailed, only the official military map has detailed annotations for each terrain level.

With these maps, their confidence in playing has been further increased.And just like what is said in the general record, Gu Dayan has indeed led troops to fight many times, and he also has a group of soldiers who are capable of recruiting and fighting well.

Looking at the map, they discussed military operations overnight.If you send troops, you should send them immediately when Wang Hua is in Lingzhou.

Wei Kong didn't understand this, so he watched and listened to their explanation with great interest.

Not all of them were dispatched, but 1 troops were also dispatched, divided into three groups, and 1 people on the right went straight to the weak Hezhou.1 people from the left went straight to Shanzhou, and the remaining 1 went straight to the valley where Wang Hua stored grain, and his entourage brought more than 1 people, more than [-] slaves of various ethnic groups and a large number of livestock. back.

Although it doesn't sound like a lot of troops, the ferocity of the Tubo soldiers, the panic among the people in Erzhou, and the lack of troops, so many soldiers are enough to achieve the goal.

Just when Wang Hua was playing with the Tang court, the war started silently.
