Chapter 813 Meeting with the Chieftain

Don't think this is a joke. You must know that the chieftain's army went down the mountain without authorization. This is a great disrespect to the chieftain. Just like the emperor of the Han people, except for the chieftain himself, anyone else who mobilizes the army without authorization will be executed immediately.

This centurion has already made a mistake. As long as Zhang Jiuli helps him to make things right after returning, then this matter will be considered a thing of the past. Otherwise, countless people will lose their heads.

"These things will be distributed to the brothers below later, and they will be regarded as your harvest. I won't say more after we go up."

After finding a deserted place, Zhang Jiuli threw a bag of money. Even if these people were robbing the surroundings tonight, they probably wouldn't be able to get such a harvest. After all, the people around him were so poor that they couldn't even eat. I used to do some robbery and just get some rags and stuff.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward. Thank you, sir, for the reward."

The centurion knelt down very happily. Since Zhang Jiuli said so, he would not go up to hold him responsible for his crimes, and he also gave him so much money. In fact, the people on the mountain did not live very richly. They were just relatively wealthy. Compared with people down the mountain, at least they won't starve to death, but they only eat one meal every day without thinking about the second meal.

"There has been a lot of noise in your mountain recently. It is for this reason that I want to go up and explain. Don't do anything wrong. His Highness from the capital is indeed very powerful, but don't make it too tense. He will go to the south in a while. Order."

Zhang Jiuli knew that the centurion on the mountain must know some information, much more than the people he arranged. After all, this guy was directly in the army.

"Master Zhang is right. The army on the mountain is indeed very nervous. Even our chieftain, including us, doesn't know what happened at the bottom of the mountain. Our chieftain also sent a messenger, and it seems that he was sent by someone from your highness. Caught."

The centurion had no doubts after hearing this. It would be a bit doubtful if Zhang Jiuli only wanted to know the information on the mountain and did not tell him the previous words.

"I have seen the letter. I originally wanted to write a reply, but I thought it would be better to go there in person. This matter is indeed very important. His Highness the Emperor Taisun is not an ordinary person. Whatever he wants to do, we can only accompany him. , I came up this time to make it clear to you, Mr. Chieftain, that you must not act rashly, His Highness the Crown Prince is not a simple person."

Zhang Jiuli said while stirring the fire. It was just like having resentment towards Li Xiang. This behavior was also very normal. In the past, when people from the imperial court came, Zhang Jiuli would discuss it with the chieftain’s people, and then work together to Put on a show and fool the court people away, so they can continue their business trip.

The people on the mountain once laughed at Zhang Jiuli. This guy was obviously a Han, but he often betrayed the Han army, letting the chieftains find their weaknesses, and then killed the Han army with one blow, which directly made the Han generals lose confidence. In the end, To achieve the purpose of their mutual enjoyment.

Although Zhang Jiuli is also their collaborator, the chieftains on the mountain have never regarded him as an equal. Everyone thinks that this guy is a clown. Although you are a high-ranking member of the Han people, when you betray your own people, then No one will treat you as a real person anymore.

"Master Zhang came just in time. Several chieftains have already held a meeting. If there is no other contact, a coalition of chieftains may be established. Several chieftains will send their most elite troops. If If His Highness is not good for you, the chieftains will send their troops down the mountain, we are all one family."

Zhang Jiuli didn't believe a word of what the centurion said. Although he and the chieftain on the mountain were now related to each other, if there were no common interests, it is estimated that both parties would not even be willing to say another word. The relationship is so indifferent. Isn't it nonsense to say that they raised an army to avenge me?

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the chieftain has indeed announced this to the outside world and made the people below him believe it. Captain Bai in front of him has been deceived.

"Thank you so much, chieftains, but this time the situation is different. The troops brought by His Highness from the capital are all elite troops. I believe you have heard of it before. His Highness led this army to fight in all directions. , expanded a lot of land for our Tang Dynasty, if there really is a fight, your army will also lose a lot."

When Zhang Jiuli said this, he wanted to find out the specific situation of the army on the mountain. In the past, he only knew a general situation. It was hard to say how much combat power they had.

This centurion had also heard of Li Xiang's name. Originally, they admired the Tubo cavalry the most. They had also fought against the Tubo cavalry, but in the end they were no match for those people.

So they believe that the Tibetan cavalry's combat effectiveness is very strong, but what is the result now? It is said that Tubo was also turned upside down by Li Xiang. No matter what method they used, Tubo was no longer a threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Coupled with Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo, they are both good at conquering and fighting. What can they do now? They all bowed to the Tang Dynasty honestly, and the local governing institutions were removed. It is said that they were all replaced by officials of the Tang Dynasty.

The most terrible thing is Goguryeo. It was still a big enemy during the Sui Dynasty. When Li Shimin first came to the throne, it could not be solved.

But what about now? A large amount of grain and other cash crops are transported to the Tang Dynasty every year. The entire country is like a subsidiary of the Tang Dynasty, and the local people have been almost rectified. This is all the information collected by the chieftains, so when I heard that After Li Xiang's people came to Sichuan, although they took necessary warnings, they did not take direct action because they did not want to directly anger Li Xiang.

"What Mr. Zhang is saying is that our chieftain has already said that it is best not to be an enemy of your Highness this time. If we are an enemy, we have little chance of winning, but we have gathered more than 60,000 people. Really We are not afraid if something happens."

The centurion was no match for Zhang Jiuli at all. He had already said everything that should be said and what should not be said in a few words. On the contrary, Zhang Jiuli only gave a rough outline.
