Five hundred and fifteenth chapter tacit understanding
Chapter 515 Tacit
"Please sit down, two!"
Shang Xidongzan asked them to sit down and asked again: "Since you are the special envoys of the Great Food, what letters do you have?"
"Yes!" Zarik took out Mansour's letter and handed it on both hands: "This is a handwritten letter from our Caliph to the general. Please check it out."
Shang Xi Dongzan opened the letter. There was a translation of Tubo in the letter. He could understand it. There was also the seal of the Great Food below. This letter should be true. His heart began to become active. Now the Tang army is eyeing it with great momentum, and there are the most sharp weapons such as Tianhuo Thunder. In addition, Zanpu is dead, the morale of the Tubo army is sluggish, and everyone misses their homesickness. Shang Xi Dongzan knew in his heart that the Tubo army had lost in this battle. Unless there is a major change, the Tubo army will definitely be defeated in the Battle of Tochar.
Shang Xi Dongzan was already desperate, but the letter sent by the Great Cannibal made him see a glimmer of hope in his desperate heart. This is a major change. Joining with the Great Cannibal Army is indeed a glimmer of hope to defeat the Tang army.
Shang Xidongzan could no longer control his inner excitement and asked Zarik quickly: "Your Majesty the Caliph did not say how to unite in the letter, I want to know the details."
Zarik smiled, "General, the details are in our hearts. If the Tubo army agrees to unite, we will naturally tell the general the details. If we do not agree to unite, it is meaningless to write it in the letter. Does the general say this is the reason?"
"So that's it. Then I want to know how to assign Tochar after defeating the Tang army?"
Zarik smiled and said, "The Great Cannibal should not be Tochar. The Great Cannibal requires Sindhi and Punjab, and the Hezhong area, all the way to the Pamirs. Tubo can have Tochar, Anxi and Beiting. This is the bottom line of His Majesty the Caliph."
Shang Xidongzan frowned. The big cannibal had a big appetite and even the broken leaves wanted to occupy it. But he also understood that the big cannibal was not a man or a woman. If he had not such a big ambition, he would not be a big cannibal.
In fact, Shang Xi Dongzan also knew that the Great Cannibals would not give him Tocharo. After they jointly defeated the Tang army, the war between the Great Cannibals and Tubo was below, but they had common interests to defeat the Tang army first.
Shang Xi Dongzan nodded and agreed to Mansour's intention to cooperate, "Okay! I agree to cooperate with your Majesty to defeat the Tang army together."
Seeing that he agreed, Sharik told the details of the cooperation. Ten days later, on the full moon night, the Great Food Army would cross the Amu River and attack the Tang army from behind.

Shangxi Dongzan had settled the envoy of food, so he led a team of soldiers to Lancheng a hundred miles away. Lancheng was the garrison of another Tubo general Shang Jiasu, where 80,000 Tubo troops were stationed here. This is the place where Shangxi Dongzan was most worried about. Originally, Zanpu led 80,000 troops to support him, but unexpectedly, a sudden assassination killed Zanpu and split the Tubo army.
Shang Jiasu was originally a defeated general of the Tang army. The 50,000 troops were wiped out in Qiemo City. He was not qualified to lead the troops again. However, by chance, these 80,000 people became his subordinates, which made Shang Xidongzan feel so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he had no choice.
Originally, he had an army of 100,000, and his strength exceeded Shang Jiasu. He could still suppress people with his power, but since the 40,000 troops in Bushicheng were annihilated by the entire army, his confidence was gone. He became the weaker side and could only condescend to discuss with Shang Jiasu.
After entering Lancheng, he came to Shang Jiasu's military yamen. A soldier went in and reported. Shang Xi Dongzan stood in front of the steps and waited, but he waited for half an hour. Shang Jiasu still refused to see him. Shang Xi Dongzan was furious and turned around and left. As soon as he took two steps, an officer came out and shouted to him: "General Shang Xi Dongzan, my general is welcome!"
Shang Xidongzan had no choice but to press the anger in his heart and follow the officer into the military yamen. The officer explained with a smile: "My general is in poor health. He was treating his illness just now, so General Shang Xidongzan has been waiting for a long time."
Shang Xidongzan snorted heavily, without saying a word, but after walking for a long time, he still didn't see Shang Jiasu's room. Only then did he realize that the house was actually a Han people's house, rockery fish pond, pavilions and towers, which were particularly exquisite and unique, with flowers and trees everywhere, and a lush scene in front of him.
Shang Xi Dongzan's brows became more and more frowning. He felt that Shang Jiasu's residence was a bit too particular. He walked through a long corridor and came to a hall. A fragrance of powder came to his face. Shang Xi Dongzan was about to enter the door, but suddenly stopped. The scene in front of him shocked him.
The room was decorated in a magnificent manner, and the two of them were shocked. The floor was covered with thick carpets, and the walls were hung with gorgeous Shu brocade, red sandalwood chairs and screens, and ivory carved tables. The tables were filled with gold pots and silver bottles, and various exquisite jade and porcelain were everywhere.
The table was filled with wine and food. Shang Jiasu sat on a rosewood chair, and there were more than a dozen charming women around him. Some were sitting on his thighs, some snuggled against him, some slapped him with shoulders and backs, some poured wine and fed him with vegetables. Shang Jiasu hugged him with left and right, so happy.
There were a few musicians sitting next to him playing music. Shang Xi Dongzan suddenly became angry. What is this? Is this still a Tubo soldier? The Tang army was eyeing him and was about to launch an attack in front of him. But Shang Jiasu was still spending money here and was not interested in military affairs. No wonder his 50,000 people could not capture the Qianmo City, which was thousands of people, and was finally wiped out.
He could no longer control his anger and shouted: "Shang Jiasu! Is this what your coach looks like?"
The women were shocked and stood up one after another, and the music stopped. Shang Jiasu had a gloomy face and drank the wine in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the woman and the musician retreated.
Shang Xidongzan slowly walked into the house and said with a cold face: "Now the enemy is in front of the map, you should study military affairs in front of the map, rather than drinking and playing with women here."
Shang Jiasu glanced at him coldly and said, "General Shang Xi Dongzan, are you teaching me a lesson?"
"I dare not teach you a lesson, but you should at least understand that now is not the time to enjoy."
"Is that?" Shang Jiasu showed a sarcastic smile on his face and said, "Although I eat better and live better, I still know my duty. I know that I am just a general and dare not live in the palace. I don't know who lived in the palace and regarded myself as the king, and I still have the face to teach me a lesson."
"You..." Shang Xidongzan was speechless. He did live in the newly built palace in Ayan City. It was originally for Zanpu to live in. However, after Zanpu's death, Shang Xidongzan felt that it was a pity that the palace was empty, so he moved in, but he did not enjoy it. In the palace, he was busy with military affairs all day, and the monk Jiasu's voice and color enjoyment was completely different.
"Although I live in the palace, I am busy with military affairs, and I am not as addicted to enjoyment as you do."
"joke!"
Shang Jiasu threw the wine glass to the ground, stood up and shouted, "Shang Xidongzan, your defense is not tight, which led to Zanpu's tragic death. That's fine, but you are the one who commits the above and lives in the palace as a general. What's this? Do you want to be Zanpu? Let's suspect that Zanpu's death is something else.
"You are slandering and talking nonsense!"
Shang Xidongzan scolded him, but he couldn't find enough reason to refute Shang Jiasu. No matter that, he would not be able to occupy his position in the palace.
Shang Jiasu made Shang Xidongzan crazy like a dog, but he calmed down himself. He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Shang Xidongzan then remembered his purpose, which was to persuade Shang Jiasu to join forces with him and deal with the Tang army together. The two of them joined forces with an army of 140,000, which was enough to compete with the Tang army. Moreover, with the support of the Dashi Army, they should be able to defeat the Tang army.
Thinking of this, Shang Xidongzan's tone softened and said, "General Shang Jiasu, I came here to hope that the Tubo army can join forces to deal with the Tang army together. Please think twice."
Shang Jiasu was extremely proud and almost laughed out loud. When did Shang Xidongzan's tone become so soft? Even a few days ago, when he had an army of 100,000, he was very arrogant. Now he only had 60,000 troops, so he became weak. This is his strength! He had the advantage of his troops, so he had to give in.
Shang Jiasu took a sip of wine and said leisurely: "If you want to join forces, you can do it. I have three conditions. If you agree, we will give up our past grudges and shake hands and have fun."
Shang Xidongzan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "General Shang Jiasu, please tell me!"
"The first condition is that I have insufficient military rations. I hope General Shangxi Dongzan can transport me 200,000 stones of grain within three days. This is one. Secondly, I will be the head coach of Tochar and you will serve as the deputy general. First of all, these two conditions, and I will tell you when I think of the third condition."
Shang Jiasu said it lightly, but Shang Xidongzan's face turned dark. What is the condition? It is clearly to annex his army. He said it well, letting himself be the deputy general. I am afraid that once he takes away his military power, the first one is to kill him, and there is also a third condition. As long as he agrees, he will say whatever he wants to mention at that time.
Shang Xidongzan naturally refused to agree, but he wanted to make the last effort, so he said in a deep voice: "General Shang Jiasu, I want to command your army, I am afraid you will not agree. Similarly, if you want to take my military power, I will not agree. Therefore, we hope that we will not adopt this kind of merger-like cooperation, but use another way of cooperation."
Although Shang Jiasu hated Shang Xidongzan to the core and wanted to kill him with one knife now, he also knew that now that the enemy is in front of him, he killed Shang Xidongzan, and Shang Xidongzan's army will inevitably have internal conflicts with him, and in the end he will give the Tang army a free gift.
He also resisted the hatred in his heart and said, "Tell me, what kind of cooperation is it?"
"I will give you 50,000 stones of food, enough for your army to eat for a month, and then we will cooperate with each other and attack the Tang army together."
"Very good, when will the offense?"
"Ten days later, the full moon night."
