There are many cities in the city, and the guards are envoys.
In order to entertain General Bian Lingcheng, the right gate general sent by the saint to supervise the army in Anxi, Tian Zhen, the garrison envoy of Quy Nhon Army, gave up his garrison and even his two favorite concubines. They were ordered to serve Eunuch Bian wholeheartedly and must satisfy Eunuch Bian.
When the hour passed, Tian Zhen came to wait outside Bian Lingcheng's bedroom door as usual.
After Bian Lingcheng got up, Tian Zhen personally served him with tea and water. It was really difficult for him, a fourth-rank official, to serve a eunuch like a servant.
However, Tian Zhen did not feel aggrieved.
If Bian Lingcheng was willing, he even wanted to make Bian Lingcheng his godfather.
Because Tian Zhen is very aware of Bian Lingcheng's power and status. For now, Bian Lingcheng's power and status are certainly not as good as Gao Lishi's, but Gao Lishi is already old, and the saint must have a young and capable eunuch to serve him. , for now, Bian Lingcheng has the greatest chance.
Therefore, Bian Lingcheng is most likely to be the future Gao Lishi.
How powerful is Gao Lishi? The princess had to call him Aweng when she saw him, the prince consort had to call him grandpa when he saw him, and even the current prince had to respectfully call him brother when he saw him.
So Tian Zhen really wanted to recognize Bian Lingcheng as his godfather.
It's a pity that Bian Lingcheng is unwilling to accept him as his godson.
Bian Lingcheng finished his breakfast slowly and asked, "Ambassador Tian, is there any news from Seluburg?"
Tian Zhen then said with a face full of coquettishness: "Everything was as expected by the border commander. The Tubo army was really short-sighted and only knew how to attack fiercely. Now the veterans of the division are tired. In three to five days, I will return to the Ren army and pull out the troops." When Huan's army comes out in full force, they can defeat the Tibetan army in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to turn back, and it will be just around the corner to pacify the Dabolu Kingdom."
Seeing that Bian Lingcheng had no reaction, Tian Zhen continued: "When the news is sent back to Chang'an, the saints and the Dukes of the DPRK should know that Bian Gong's ability to use troops is not inferior to the two commanders Gao and Feng! We in the Tang Dynasty have many What a military strategist!"
Bian Lingcheng finally showed a smile on his face and said: "Ambassador Tian has exaggerated. Bian is just an incomplete eunuch. How dare he be called the same as Gao and Feng, let alone call himself a military strategist? , passed."
Just when Tian Zhen wanted to continue to flatter him, a messenger came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Seluburg."
Bian Lingcheng's fingers shook slightly, and two raisins fell from the gaps between his fingers and fell to the floor.
Tian Zhen's heart sank slightly, he calmed down, took the secret letter from Tongzhuan, and opened it.
However, after reading Ten Lines at a Glance, Tian Zhen's mouth opened so wide that he could even stuff a goose egg inside.
Seeing that Tian Zhen didn't speak for a long time, Bian Lingcheng became anxious and asked in a sharp voice: "Tian Shijun, what does this secret letter say? What happened in Seluburg?"
Tian Zhen huffed and said in a nonchalant manner: "Master Bian, we win."
"Victory?" Bian Lingcheng asked with a frown, "Who won? Did the Tubo army win?"
"No, it was our army that won." Tian Zhen said, "The two groups of Tibetan armies with 700,000 or 80,000 troops outside Sailubao were completely destroyed at this time."
"What are you talking about?" Bian Lingcheng stood up suddenly after hearing this, and then became furious, "Li Siye! It must be Li Siye! This Gaoling villager ruined my good deeds!"
Although he didn't know what happened at Sailubao, in Bian Lingcheng's knowledge, there was no other possibility except that Li Siye led the Khotan army to cross the Niman Mountain and rush to Sailubao.
Although Tian Zhen also hopes that Bian Lingcheng and Li Siye will turn against each other, because Li Siye and him are direct competitors.
The problem is that last night's victory at Selubao had nothing to do with Li Siye. Oh, I can't say it doesn't matter. There is still a relationship. At least those hundred Mo Dao soldiers were sent by Li Siye.
It's just that Li Siye's army in Khotan Town has not arrived yet.
Tian Zhen then told Bian Lingcheng the contents of the secret letter.
The secret letter was sent by Tian Dajia, the captain of the Ninth Regiment, on a fast horse.
Tian Dajia briefly told Tian Zhen everything that happened last night.
But Master Lu Tianshi was not mentioned because Tian Dajia still didn't believe it.
This led to Bian Lingcheng and Tian Zhen's misjudgment of the situation in Seluburg.
Of course, then again, even if Bian Lingcheng and Tian Zhen knew that there was such a mysterious existence as Lu Tianshi, they would still reach out when they should, and they would still pick peaches when they should.
After all, this is a great achievement that is enough to grant the title of Duke.
Before Tian Zhen could finish speaking, Bian Lingcheng couldn't help interrupting: "In other words, for some reason, Yang Tongren's slaves suddenly rioted last night, and the brigade of a hundred Mo Dao soldiers sent by Li Siye Taking advantage of the situation, we raided King Yangtong’s tent, and then the tens of thousands of Yangtong troops in Dongda Camp collapsed? All the tens of thousands of troops were beheaded?"
"Yes, tens of thousands of people were killed." Tian Zhen nodded heavily and said, "After dawn, our army coerced King Yangtong and forced an emergency landing of 10,000 Yangtong elite troops from the Western Camp. This laid siege to Selüburg for nearly a month. The 70,000 to 80,000 Yangtong army have all been wiped out, and it is said that only the Yangtong king and two to three thousand Qingqi escaped."
"Cai!" Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Cai!" Tian Zhen also cheered along with Bian Lingcheng.
However, Bian Lingcheng rolled his eyes and said, "Ambassador Tian, this must be Ling's nephew Tian Dajia's plan, right?"
"Huh? Tell me back to Bian Gong, that nephew of mine is not a smart person, I'm afraid..." Just mid-sentence, Tian Zhen suddenly realized and immediately changed his words, "Last night's battle was obviously planned by you, Bian Gong. , why would you give up this tremendous military achievement to others? Even though Tian Dajia is my nephew, I can’t let him ignore the great achievements of my father-in-law.”
"Hey, I'm just a mutilated person, so what's the use of all this incredible fighting power?" Bian Lingcheng said with emotion.
"Bian Gong's high demeanor and integrity are really admired by the subordinate officials. The subordinate officials must report to the imperial court and explain to the Holy Emperor and the Manchu ministers the merits of Bian Gong in the victory of Seluburg." Tian Zhenyi's words were stern.
After that, the two of them humiliated each other and argued with each other for a long time.
Finally, it was Tian Zhen who said, "Mr. Bian, why don't we go to Selüburg to reward the army before we talk?"
"Yes." Bian Lingcheng nodded happily, "Then let's go to Seluburg to reward the ninth regiment. By the way, let Cancao join the army and prepare more cattle and sheep wine, especially the wine."
"Here!" Tian Zhen responded with crossed arms.
…
Without further ado, Lingcheng and Tian Zhen were thinking about going to Selüburg to pick peaches.
On the Selubao side, Tian Dajia's cognition once again suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points. Is there really a heavenly master? Are there really immortals in this world?
Tian Dajia instinctively didn't want to believe it.
But there really is Master Lu who cannot see but can hear sounds, and Lu Wen, Cui He and even Yu Cen Shen obey this Master Lu without any doubt.
What made Tian Dajia even more unbelievable was the abnormal behavior of the tens of thousands of sheep and slaves.
These sheep slaves didn't know what they were bewitched. They changed their attitude of extremely hating the Han people before and turned to be extremely friendly to the Han people. They also said that Fengjie Commander was the god sent by the Yala Xiangbo Mountain God to save their sheep slaves. Sir, what is all this mess, why did the Fengjie Commander become their divine envoy?
By the way, how come his team leader, Lu Wen, also became a divine disciple?
Just now, watching thousands of fellow sheep worshiping Lu Wen devoutly, Tian Dajia felt that his knowledge had been completely subverted. This was no longer the Anxi he was familiar with.
Then, Tian Dajia and Wang Chang, deputy captain of the Ninth Regiment, were invited to Wang Ya's tent in Yangtong to discuss the aftermath.
Such a huge victory was won last night. At least 20,000 Tibetan troops were killed, plus 10,000 Tibetan troops who made an emergency landing, plus nearly 40,000 slaves who instigated rebellion, at least 70,000 people were annihilated!
Annihilating 70,000 Tibetan troops in one battle was a real victory!
As the decision-maker of this battle, it is a trivial matter how many levels you are promoted to. It is not impossible to reach the sky in one step. The Tang Dynasty has never followed common sense in hiring people. Today's saints often make surprising moves in hiring people, such as Fengjieshuai and Geshu. Han and others all reached the sky in one step, and Anlu Mountain was appointed by the saint as the military envoy of the three towns of Jiedu.
Thinking of this, Tian Dajia and Wang Chang couldn't help but envy Cen Shen and Cui He.
It's a pity that this victory was not their decision, so they won't be able to eat the fattest meat. But the good news is that they should also be able to get some soup to drink, and I should be able to level up a level or two.
