The samurai glanced over and said to him, "You wait."
After the samurai left for a moment, he led their chief guard over, and the chief of the guard walked quickly to these people, looked at them and asked, "Where is the Musi agent?"
The curtain was lifted, revealing a face.
The head of the guard saw that this person was wearing a furry fur hat on his head, and the collar of his leather robe was also erected, as if he was very afraid of the cold.
Mu Si is about to become the master of their tribe, and the head of the guard recognizes him, so he hurriedly salutes: "Mu Si agent, why are you here?"
Mu Si gestured to him a few times, and saw that the head of the guard was confused.
A person next to "Mu Si" suddenly said with a smile: "That's the case, our special service has some ideas about the attack target to choose, and we want to talk to Moon Dayego." ” The man who spoke was none other than Gao Sheji.
When the guard captain heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, I see, then ask the special service to go in."
The secret service is the main person in this discussion."
Gao Sheji said: "Our special service is dressed like this, we just don't want people to see it."
You also know that the people of the Asrid tribe are very dissatisfied with our special service now, so it is better for you to take our special service to meet with Moon Daye Hu quietly, and don't let anyone else know. ” "That's right."
The chief of the guard thought about it, so he bowed his head and said, "Since this is the case, then please ask the Musi agent to come with me."
"Musi" got out of the car, and as soon as he took a step, Gao Sheji followed, and the chief of the guard glanced at him, and Gao Sheji explained: "Our special service can't speak now, and when I was in the camp, it took a lot of effort for the special service to understand what he meant to me. ” The chief guard said: "Well, you are the only one who can come with you, and today the leaders of each department are only allowed to bring one guard, if there are too many people, I am afraid that it will attract attention." ” Gao Sheji agreed, and followed closely behind "Musi" and walked inside.
The councils of the tribes have not yet been held, and some of the leaders of the tribes who know each other take this opportunity to visit each other, first, to exchange feelings, and secondly, to inquire about each other's intentions for attacking which city in the Tang Dynasty, if their opinions can be unified, although they are not commanders, the commanders cannot ignore their opinions.
The chief of the guard led "Mu Si" and Gao Sheji all the way in, the passage was unimpeded, because he was carrying, the guards did not check, "Mu Si" put his hands in his sleeves, bowed his head slightly, just moved forward steadily, and did not look left and right, and after a while rushed to a big tent, Gao Sheji took a step forward, and said in the ear of the chief of the guard: "Let's see if there are others in the tent first" The chief of the guard understood, and told them to wait at the tent, and went into the tent himself, and indeed one of the chiefs of the tribe was coming to visit Moon, and the two of them were laughing and talking.
As soon as the chief guard walked in, Moon glanced at him, and the chief guard glanced at him, and Moon knew that something important must be done, so he shook the man's arm and said, "Ah Hai, you and my old brother have really not seen each other for a few days, so I will first prepare for the important things to be discussed today, you come over tonight, and our old brother will have a few drinks."
The man laughed and said, "Okay, you are busy first, I'll go meet the other old brothers, let's talk tonight" Moon sent him all the way to the tent, and as soon as they exchanged hands, the man walked away, and Moon asked the chief of the guard, "What is the matter?"
The chief guard raised his hand to the side and said in a low voice, "Daye Protection, Musi Special Service has come to see you." ” As soon as Moon turned around, he saw "Musi" raise his head, and Moon couldn't help but say in surprise: "Why are you here" said and quickly looked back at the big tent next to him, but he didn't see Zhu Tu at the door, so he was relieved, and hurriedly pulled "Musi" and said, "Come in and talk" Moon pulled "Musi" and walked inside, Gao Sheji raised his legs and was about to follow, Moon turned his head, frowned unhappily, and said, "What are you doing when you come in, you don't understand the rules" "Mu Si" hurriedly pointed to the high house, and then pointed to his neck, where he was wrapped in a thick bandage, so that his neck was hard and couldn't be twisted and bent, his head couldn't be nod, and he even needed to hold his shoulders together to twist his head, which was like a "stiff neck", which looked very funny.
The chief guard hurriedly explained: "Daye Hu, this person is a personal soldier of the Musi Special Service, and he understands the mind of the Musi Special Service, and the Musi Special Service can't speak, so you have to rely on him to talk to you." ” "Oh" Moon answered, took Musi's arm into the big tent, and gestured to the chief guard at the door, who immediately lowered the curtain and stood steadily at the tent.
In the tent, Moon said to "Musi": "Why are you here, you have changed your mind and want to participate in the deliberations of the ministries."
"Mu Si" waved his hand, pointing at him, Moon looked at Gao Sheji inexplicably, Gao Sheji coughed and said: "The secret service said, he thought about it carefully yesterday, and he had some ideas about the target we were going to attack, and he wanted to say that he knew with Daye Protection." ” Yang Fan's people bought off the disabled soldiers around Mu Si, and in order to have a support in the future, the soldiers became their eyes and ears under the temptation of heavy profits, and patrolled around the tent every day, observing the movements there, but they only knew that Mu Enye had been there yesterday, but they didn't know what he said to Mu Si.
In this way, Yang Fan's Mu Si has to be extra careful, and he must be as smooth as possible in his speech, so as not to show obvious flaws, so that if the two of them discussed the target they were going to attack yesterday, it would not make him suspicious.
Moon was unremarkable, and only said, "Oh, what do you think?"
Yang Fan must be in his heart, stretched out his hand and pointed to the simple map hanging in the tent, Moon understood, so he got up and walked over, Yang Fan also walked over, pointing at the few key passes they could attack, sometimes waving his hand, sometimes frowning, from time to time he also pointed his finger to the Turkic ground and the Tibetan ground, and finally pointed his finger at the position of the "White Pavilion" and pressed it heavily.
Moon looked confused, so he had to turn his attention to Yang Fan's "translator" again, and Gao Sheji said: "Daye Protection, our special service is saying that the attack location is best chosen in the White Pavilion."
Moon turned his head to look at the map, stroked his beard and asked, "Why?"
Gao Sheji said: "Before coming, the secret service has been explaining to the villain for a long time, and the villain has guessed the meaning of the special service little by little, and now tell the meaning of the special service to Lord Ye Hu, if the villain is right, the special service please high-five, if the villain has something wrong, the special service will wave his hand." ” Yang Fan stood tall and tall, like a flock of chickens, holding his noble head high, and applauded gently.
Gao Sheji coughed, leaned to the front of the map, and spit flew to explain the tunnel.
"Lord Ye Hu, you see, in these key passes along the border of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to say that the difficulty of attack and defense is actually about the same, this white pavilion is the closest to us, we have been delayed here for many days, if you choose a distant target, there are two difficulties.
The first is that when the spring flowers bloom, the snow is muddy and the march is too difficult, and the second is that it is a long trek, which is easy for the Tang people to prepare early. ” Moon stretched out his hand and nodded on the desert area marked on the map, and then nodded in Liangzhou and a few other places, Gao Sheji said blankly: "What does Daye Hu mean?"
Moon laughed dumbly, he was almost forgotten that he could speak because of the action of "Musi" pointing, and he actually learned from him to compare on the map, Moon said: "If you choose the White Pavilion, there are two difficulties, first, you have to cross a section of the desert, of course, this problem is not big, we have raided the Tang people before.
The main problem is that this is very close to Shuofang, and the rear is Liangzhou, so it is relatively easy for the Tang people to replenish their troops and grain and grass, if we choose Tatequan, the area is the narrowest, and it is also very close to Tibet, if they send troops in time, the Tang people will be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult to deal with it. ” "Mu Si" gestured on the map for a while, and then made a gesture to let Gao Sheji say, Gao Sheji said: "The problem that Daye Hu is thinking about, our special service has also thought about it."
The area around Tatequan was too poor, and we plundered there, and the harvest was far less than that of Baitei.
Moreover, although there is Liangzhou behind Baiting, and there are Hexi and Shuofang on the left and right, the Tang army in Hexi must guard against the Tubo people, and the Shuofang defenders must prevent us from attacking from other places, and it is impossible to increase the troops in Baiting, and the Tang army of 15,000 people in Liangzhou alone, even if they are all pressed to Baiting, the strength is still very different from us.
We occupy Baiting has several advantages, one, we can attack Liangzhou, with Liangzhou's 15,000 Tang army may not be able to hold, once we occupy Liangzhou, we can cut off the main passage between the Tang people and Longyou and Hexi, and the Tang people who are alone in Longyou, Hexi, under our joint attack with the Tubo people, there is no reinforcement outside, no grain and grass inside, this land will definitely be obtained by us.
If the Tang people have already taken precautions, and a large number of reinforcements have arrived in time, and we have not had time to capture Liangzhou, then we will go down from Baiting, besiege Liangzhou without fighting, and plunder the richest cities around them, and then retreat back to the desert safely. ” Moon listened to it and still hesitated, the benefits and risks are proportional, attacking Baiting, and then attacking Liangzhou, raiding the richest cities nearby, it is indeed a huge profit, but this is also the easiest area for the Tang people to replenish their troops and supply grain and grass to hold on, especially since it has deviated too far from Tubo to rely on the strength of Tubo's friendly forces.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel anxious, hurriedly made a few gestures, and clicked on the map, and Gao Sheji sacrificed a "killer feature" according to the words discussed in advance: "Daye Protection, in fact, this is not just what our special service meant.
Last night, Mo Si Da Ye Hu sent someone again, and Mo Si Da Ye Hu also meant to seize the White Pavilion. ” "Oh" Moon was really moved when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What does Mo Sip mean?"
Gao Sheji said: "The Khan is critically ill, it is impossible for the tribes to fight outside for a long time, there is no point in occupying it, it is enough to plunder the wealth."
Moreover, there is an entanglement between the Asid and our people, and they both have some grievances with each other, and if each tribe can grab enough goods and women this time, and everyone is happy, it will be easy to bridge the previous conflict.
Otherwise" Moon thought about it, and felt that it made a lot of sense, if this battle did not take any advantage, the tribes were resentful, and they would inevitably be taken advantage of by the Ashid tribe, and the Khan's son would let go of this good opportunity The Muaha clan has already stood with Mosi, and it is because of this that they married each other, and it is in the best interest of the Muaha tribe that Mosi becomes the Khan.
From this point of view, the benefits and disadvantages of the battle itself are not important, but the impact of the war on the domestic political situation.
Thinking of this, Moon nodded and said, "Well, I understand, just do it according to the meaning of the silent sip" As soon as Moon said this, a daughter's coquettish voice came from the door: "Get out of the sneak, I won't let you in?"
Before the words fell, Mu Heyue opened the curtain and broke in, her pretty face was slightly gloomy, as if she was displeased, but when she saw Yang Fan, she smiled and said, "Ah Musi, you are here."
