"Okay! Today we will fight with your generals of the Tang Army until they get drunk!" Bone Philo laughed heartily, and at the same time he patted the shoulders of his guards, asking if he could give it to us later. The Huihe tribe has a long face, so it depends on your performance.
The trust from the leader is the best motivation for these servants.
Immediately, Wang Zhongsi led everyone to the camp he had arranged. They saw that a luncheon had been prepared. A subordinate was busy coming in and out, serving food and wine, and a group of Tang army generals had already taken their seats. They were seated and chatting with each other. When they saw Wang Zhongsi and others coming in, they quickly stood up.
Behind Wang Zhongsi and Ye Qingcheng were Guli Feiluo and several other Huihe people. However, after discussion on the way, they believed that his identity should not be revealed easily for the time being. There were many generals of the Tang Army here, and they all It belongs to several border towns and the situation is complicated. If the identity of the leader of Guli Philo Huihe is exposed, I am afraid things will become very troublesome. Therefore, he also told his two personal soldiers just now not to reveal the matter under any circumstances. Based on his trust in his own soldiers, this should not be a problem. As for Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan, he is not worried anymore. It was hard for these two cold guys to talk to anyone else, let alone reveal the identity of Philo Bones.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the camp, Wang Zhongsi smiled and introduced Guli Philo and a few people behind him to the generals, but naturally he used pseudonyms and false identities, but after all, he was carrying the identity of the Uighur envoy, even though the generals They felt disdain for them, but Wang Zhongsi and Ye Qingcheng were on the spot, so they could not be too presumptuous, so they secretly agreed to take the opportunity to humiliate these so-called Uighur envoys.
Only An Sishun refused their invitation, which made Li Lin and Han Xiulin who were familiar with him feel a little puzzled. With An Sishun's usual unruly and arrogant attitude, he actually chose to remain silent at this moment? However, they all thought that An Sishun was betraying Wang Zhongsi and Ye Qingcheng's reputation. After all, he had received a lot of favor from them during the Sanggan River battle, so it was normal to repay him. Little did they know that An Sishun was afraid. In private, among the tens of thousands of people under his command, he finally found a few Uighur Tang soldiers. From them, they worked hard and learned some things about the Uighurs. I know, I was shocked when I asked. After knowing the strength of Huihe, he was immediately discouraged and did not dare to be arrogant. Faced with such an existence that could sweep all the border towns in the north, no matter how arrogant he was on weekdays, his confidence was not enough now. In other words, instead of offending such a powerful emerging force, it is better to show goodwill to them, so that our Hexi can be stable in the future without worrying about hidden dangers from the north.
In fact, An Sishun's ambition can be seen here. He has even regarded Hexi as his own, completely ignoring the current Jiedushi Emperor Huangfu Weiming. However, this can be regarded as a kind of foresight, regardless of Who is it? The position of Jiedushi is short-lived. Today it is you and tomorrow it will be me. Generally, it is replaced by Jiedu from other towns. After a certain number of years, the deputy envoy is promoted. However, even if An Sishun takes credit for the Battle of Sangganhe, it will be difficult for him to correct himself in the past few years, unless...unless he finds strong backing, and steps on Huangfu Weiming in the court, at least he must put this The position was secured so that he could hope to right himself. As for the backing, his eyes naturally turned to the newly discovered Huihe.
After everyone took their seats, what surprised the Tang generals slightly was that the actions of Bone Philo and several of his guards were slightly gentle and not as rude as they had guessed. They didn't even have a chance to laugh at them. You know, these Uighur envoys were obviously well prepared, otherwise, they would not have been sent.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet was a bit relaxed and happy, not what they expected at all. No, to be precise, the generals of the Tang Army were at a disadvantage. The Uighur envoy dressed as Guli Philo was not only good at communicating with others, but also rich in knowledge. He is also very good at reasoning. Even several generals and staff who claim to be good at talking can't talk to him at all, and they are asking for trouble. Among the people fighting for wine on the side, his personal guards were indeed heroes in the drinking. A group of Tang army generals could not drink a few of them. In a fit of anger, the soldiers behind them also joined in. As a result, After drinking until the afternoon, everyone was drunk, and then they drank the Huihe guards to the ground, but they still couldn't change the fact that they couldn't win against these people.
Ni Fuguo himself did not appear. Ni Fuguo and Wang Zhongsi, pretended by Ye Qingcheng, did not discuss any issues with Guli Philo about the three Turkic tribes. Even if a general occasionally raised it, Wang Zhongsi would pretend to be He pretended to be drunk, waved his hands, and said that we were only talking about the banquet, not the military. He had the same reaction after everyone mentioned it twice. In desperation, no one dared to mention it again. They knew that Wang Zhongsi might have already expressed his disapproval of Huihe. With a plan, at least the war might not start.
However, although Bone Philo was ostensibly entertaining these Tang army generals, Wang Zhongsi, Ni Fuguo and others, he also had a pretty good drinking capacity. Even though he drank a lot, he still maintained a clear mind. However, it was precisely because of his clear mind that he It worries him. Although these generals of the Tang Army in front of them were only at the wine table, they all behaved like generals, and Wang Zhongsi was even more so. He had a vague air of hegemony. Although the generals in his own clan were well trained, With his temperament and his own bravery, he can undoubtedly take on the role, but compared with the generals of the Tang Army in front of him, their temperament is simply as high as heaven and earth... Even if the soldiers are strong, if the generals leading the team are not good, it will be... no good. In his mind, there are countless examples in history of defeating more with less due to problems with the generals. Whether an army can fight or not depends on the generals. A strong army can only make the army stronger; a weak army can only make the army stronger. If the general is powerful, he can still turn things around, but his subordinates have no talent at all.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks, as if he wanted to vent. He just hated that time had not waited for us. The collapse of the Turkic Khanate was not an opportunity. If he could delay it for five to ten years, then his strength would be enough. It was too early to let him replace him, which forced him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Although this was not his original intention, it was undoubtedly the right choice.
