Chapter 1143: Hidden Knife
Liu Xinda is now a quick knife in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, but at the same time, he is also a released demon. Now, no matter how evil he does, he is still within the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, and there are still ways to influence or restrain him. But he keeps moving south. If he is lucky enough, he might really achieve his goal and arrive at the Nanzhao, Chameng or further south as he planned.
Liu Xinda is also a tiger. This person has extraordinary military capabilities, and has a political sense of being far superior to that of a military general, and his wrist is also extraordinary. If such a person gives up his control over him, he may eventually look like after he is out of control.
The places that Liu Xinda wanted to go were also what Li Ze wanted in the future. Therefore, the chess traders like this now do not want to create another opponent for the Tang Dynasty there.
Then, effective control is necessary.
Even if Liu Xin reached the end of the world, when Tang Jun wanted to deal with him, he would definitely be able to achieve this goal more easily. In this regard, the inner guard made a lot of arrangements.
Now, Tian Bo came over, on the one hand, wanted to find some way out for the brothers under his command, and on the other hand, he also made the final decision for this matter.
Liu Xinda's trip to the south, with the strong support of the Tang Dynasty, was destined to cause huge damage to the Southern Alliance. This is also a link in the Tang Dynasty's plan to cover the south.
"Brothers, I have been arranging you to learn dialects from Jiangxi, Hunan and other places in the past two months. I am not trying to let you take root in Jiangxi and Hunan." Tian Bo said: "But there are other arrangements."
"Grand Commander, I wonder what the arrangement is?" The more than ten people present were a little surprised. They originally thought that the Tang Dynasty would regain the south next, and that these people would definitely set up camps in these places.
"In Jiangnan and Hunan, we have some other arrangements, where you need to work hard to learn these dialects and customs!" Tian Bo smiled and said, "You will be arranged to enter Liu Xinda's army next and follow him to the south."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified.
After a while, someone asked, "Grand Commander, Liu Xinda is a bandit now. So, where is his target?"
"This is a good question!" Tian Bo said: "If everything goes as expected, Liu Xinda's ultimate goal may be Jiaozhi, Annan, Chameng or even further south."
The room fell into dead silence again.
Basically, the people present were northerners. They didn’t know where the Annan of Jiaozhi was before. Later, they knew, but in their hearts, those places were all smoky and ill, and they were not suitable for human habitation at all.
And they actually wanted to go to those places.
However, they no longer have the chance to refuse.
Because of the rejection, they must first perform this choice before Tian Bo said the task. Once it was said, they had to perform this choice.
After a while, a guy with a fat face suddenly stood up, drank the wine in the bowl in one mouthful, pulled open his clothes, revealing the scars inside: "Go, what's the big deal? Some family has never taken any danger or suffered any bitterness over the years. Isn't it just a journey south? Living is a reward, and it's nothing to die. In this life, you have enjoyed enough of what you should enjoy and what you shouldn't enjoy."
Tian Bo's eyes flashed through everyone's eyes until everyone expressed their opinions one by one, and then said: "Very good, you did not disappoint me after all. There is no limit to this task, but you should also understand that the more there is no limit to the task, the more dangerous it is."
"No restrictions?" Everyone in the house had a look of surprise flashed in their eyes, and there was joy mixed in between.
"Yes, there is no limit." Tian Ha said: "But you won't have the same equipment as before, and danger is everywhere."
"We can rob and steal without equipment. This is not a problem." The man who stood up first said.
Tian Bo nodded with a smile: "A part of you will be arranged to enter the bandit's nest. Next, Liu Xinda will recruit these people to enter his troops as suicide squads and cannon fodders, pioneers of his troops, and also robbed houses and rob money. The other part will enter through other channels, but in the end you will become one of his cannon fodder troops. This process is the most dangerous, because these cannon fodder troops have to do all kinds of dirty and tiring tasks, and all dangerous tasks are at the forefront, so the probability of death is very high."
Everyone nodded silently.
"And then, some of you will become officers in this cannon fodder unit, some will be selected to enter Liu Xinda's regular troops, and of course, many will die in this process." Tian Bodao.
"If you die, you will die for thousands of years." Everyone present crawled over from the fire in the blood. After listening to this mission, they had already understood the difficulties and were not afraid of death. "The commander, besides this unrestricted operation, I want to know what we can get?"
Tian Bo nodded and occupied his head: "Let me talk about the court's arrangements for you first! Everyone, when you take on this task, you have disappeared from the list of inner guards."
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
"Your family members will receive a notice of your death in the line of duty. At the same time, when your family receives the corresponding death pension, the other benefits you enjoy will be increased from your current position. Han Datou, you are now the Zhenwu Captain. If you increase to the third level, your family members will be able to enjoy the treatment of the Zhuangwu General." Tian Bodao.
Han Datou, the big man who had torn his clothes and exposed his scars, smiled and said, "Well, this trip is indeed a life-and-death death. Even if you are alive, you will be thousands of miles away from home. There is really little chance of returning home. Just think I am dead, and they will have no thoughts!"
"It is my decision to cancel your inner guard status!" Tian Bo said: "This is for your own good, or you won't feel it now, but if you survive and achieve something in the future, you will understand why I made such a decision."
"Please let the commander explain his doubts!" Han Datou bowed.
"If you can survive and really arrive at your destination with Liu Xinda, you may have a hard work in those places. With your ability, you can only survive until that time. Maybe you will be able to gain an important position there in the future and may become a local king." Tian Bo laughed.
Han Datou suddenly woke up: "Master, will our army arrive at that place one day?"
"Of course!" Tian Bo smiled and said, "One day, our army will arrive there, but I don't know when this day is. What will you do when our army appears?"
"If I really become a general or a local king there, I will naturally lead my subordinates to surrender to our army!" Han Datou smiled and said, "Does I still want to die?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly understood: "Master, is this the reason why we want to cancel our inner guard status?"
"Yes." Tian Bo said: "At that time, you will join my Tang Dynasty as local rulers, and then continue to rule that place for our Tang Dynasty."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"So everyone, although this trip is difficult, there are great opportunities waiting for you." Tian Bo pressed the table and said, "The dead are nothing to say, I can only blame myself for being unlucky. The alive has done what I just said, so you can enjoy your life to the fullest, until our army appears in front of you. I think you are more interested in this reward!"
"Of course!" Han Datou said excitedly: "Master, I'm not to hide it from you. I'm a naughty man. After a few days of daily life, I feel itchy all over and can't be at ease everywhere. If you say that, I can live the life I like the most. Of course, I'm excited and happy. If I really die, I'm not lucky. Besides, we brothers are not alone. As long as we get in, we always have a way to get together. As long as we get together, the chance of living will be greatly increased."
"Okay, since all the words are said, let's do it all!" Tian Bo raised the bowl in his hand: "After drinking this bowl of wine, I will say goodbye to you. You can stop drunk here. From tomorrow on, someone will arrange for you and your subordinates to leave. I hope that in a few years, we will meet again and get together for a big drink like we are now!"
"Thank you, Commander, I've done it!" Han Datou took the lead in lifting the wine bowl.
Tian Bo drank it all and turned around and left.
After walking not far, I saw Ren Xiaonian.
"Great Commander!" Ren Xiaonian saluted with his hands crossed.
"You heard what I said just now?" Tian Bo asked with a smile. "What do you think of this arrangement?"
"The commander took sympathy and found another way out for them." Ren Xiaonian smiled and said, "To be honest, with these people's style, they will not live long under the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Instead of dying under the sword of their own people, it is better to fight, and it may be another world."
"What do you really think so?" Tian Bo glanced at Ren Xiaonian.
Ren Xiaonian smiled: "Just just now, the commander only talked about the benefits of the future, but there was also one disadvantage."
"Tell me!"
"Because at that time, when our army appeared in front of them, maybe in order to quell the public's anger, they would kill some of them to win the trust of the local people." Ren Xiaonian said slowly.
"So, you can have your current status, but they can only keep running around the road!" Tian Bo stopped, "The road is at their feet, but let them walk by themselves. If they can really dominate those places, if those who came out of the Tang Dynasty still put themselves to death step by step, then we will no longer be blamed."
Ren Xiaonian bowed without saying a word.
The two walked forward slowly.
"I heard that in the past two years, you and Jose have not had much contact! They used to be brothers who share life and death!" Tian Bo said.
Ren Xiaonian's face turned slightly pale: "I'm sorry to brother Jose, my subordinate! It's up to him to ignore me, but I have always regarded him as a good brother in my heart."
"The roads are all chosen by yourself." Tian Bo smiled and said, "It's all for the Tang Dynasty, and it's not right or wrong. You came to the Right Qianniu Guard, and you are now a senior general with a number of senior generals in the Tang Dynasty. It can be regarded as fulfilling your wish to leave."
Ren Xiaonian remained silent.
"You Yong is going to the Military Commission." Tian Bo said suddenly.
Ren Xiaonian was stunned and immediately understood what Tian Bo meant, and his face turned a little pale again. After a while, he whispered: "Aren't there always rumors that General Li Gan is going to Zuo Xiaowei to serve as the general?"
Li Gan is now the deputy general of the Right Qianniu Guard. He is also from Li Ze's personal guard camp commander. He is the same as Li Mi. Everyone believes in this rumor. When Li Gan is with him, the position of Li Gan is now Ren Xiaonian. But Ren Xiaonian, who understands the meaning of Tian Bo's words, feels cold at this moment.
"General You Yong is already preparing to resign. Before he leaves, he recommended Jose to His Majesty." Tian Bo said: "Li Gan was originally one of the candidates. It seems that Li Gan is more suitable, but in terms of qualifications in the military, Jose is going to be stronger. Moreover, he has been working for Zuo Xiaowei, and he has been promoted from a grassroots officer all the way to military merits. There is nothing to say about this candidate. When I left, the Personnel Committee and the Intelligence Committee had already begun their final investigation of Jose. To be honest, with Jose's resume, this kind of investigation is just a matter of going through the motions. Next time you see Jose, you can't call him another ear, but you will salute him and call him the General."
Ren Xiaonian let out a long breath and nodded. At this moment, his heart was also mixed. I wonder if he would regret it. When he was with Zuo Xiaowei, he was pressing against Jose everywhere.
"But Ren Dagou, your ability is also here, and your military achievements over the years are obvious to all." Tian Bo suddenly smiled and said, "Li Gan will be transferred to Zuo Xiaowei as deputy general, and you will still be promoted to Li Gan's position."
"Thank you, Commander!"
"Thank me for what I do!" Tian Bo smiled and said, "It's just that I'm going to come to Jiangxi to handle official duties this time. Your Majesty wants me to have a good talk with you. Sometimes hasteness is not enough, and you can calm down and do good things! Whether you or Jose, you are all important generals of our younger generation of Tang Dynasty. The future of the Tang Dynasty is on your shoulders! There is a stone in your heart. Your Majesty asks me to tell you that some things from that year will definitely make people have opinions about you. And what you have to do is to work hard to make people forget those unpleasant things. Your efforts must be more than others."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ren Xiaonian choked and bowed deeply towards Chang'an.
