I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Hei Chi Chang Zhi and Wang Xiaojie, who had been missing for a long time, finally showed their whereabouts. Luo Shixing reckoned that these two people should have got rid of the influence of Zang River's embankment breach, otherwise they might not have dared to appear rashly.

But I have to say, do the generals of the Great Zhou have some magical skills?

Luo Shixing looked for Cheng Jingwei before, but he couldn't find it for a long time, so he had to stop him at the destination.

This time they sent people to look for Hei Chi Chang Zhi and Wang Xiaojie, but they still couldn't find them. It was these two who took the initiative to show up with soldiers and horses to find them.

Luo Shixing felt that these people must have been masters of hide-and-seek when they were young, and each one was more outrageous than the other.

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's it, it's easier, well, you arrange someone to talk to these two joints, I'll go and lure Dusongmangbuji out first, and then the two of them Lead troops to outflank."

Well, if you can't do the internal and external cooperation, then have a back and forth attack.

Just when he was thinking about this, Cheng Jingwei said in a low voice: "By the way, please contact the family who sent the letter before and ask them to open the gate of the city. You can directly lead your troops in and occupy it."

Luo Shixing was slightly taken aback after hearing this: "This...isn't that good?"

Hei Chi Changzhi and Wang Xiaojie fought to death over there, and he stole the crystal here?I feel a bit pitted against my teammates.

Cheng Jingwei took it for granted: "What's wrong? If it weren't for the two of them...we wouldn't have come here, you see...they've all come here..."

Cheng Jingweinian didn't directly call Hei Chi Changzhi and Wang Xiaojie two trashes because of their elders' face, but he also expressed his meaning very clearly. It's fine if they didn't come. Since they have come, of course they have the opportunity to make great achievements. own hands.

Now there are two biggest credits, one is to occupy Luoxie City, and the other is to capture or kill Dusongmanbuji alive.

Dusong Mangbuji ran to the front line by himself, so only Luoxicheng was left.

Luo Shixing was silent for a moment, and it's all here...Damn it, these four words make sense.

And even if he himself doesn't care about military merit, the people below do. He wants to benefit his subordinates, so he can't let everyone throw their heads and blood to do charity, right?

He nodded and said, "I'll deal with this matter, you...be careful."

In fact, Luo Shixing really wanted to go with Cheng Jingwei, don't ask, asking is a psychological shadow.

Cheng Jingwei hugged him and said, "Don't worry, I went here this time just to help lure Dusong Mangbuji out, and I don't need to fight them. There are General Black Tooth and General Wang."

Although these two people were so mysterious that even they couldn't be found, they shouldn't be doing things like cheating their teammates.

However, Luo Shixing was still very worried. The evidence was that he was rarely enthusiastic and took the initiative at night. Cheng Jingwei didn't enjoy it, but felt distressed. He secretly made a decision not to lead troops after defeating Tubo, and to be his assassin go.

The next day, after Luo Shixing got up early to watch Cheng Jingwei leave, he was in a daze for a while, and then asked Wang Antong to come over and arrange the next thing.

To be honest, after Dusong Mangbuji left, Luoxi City was basically like a sieve, and the people sent by Luo Shixing didn't even need to be sneaky, they connected with each other with a little disguise.

Since Luo Shixing wanted the other party to dedicate the city, he must have to pay some price.

It starts with a promise to help the other side get rid of their enemies, political or otherwise.

The second is to promise that even if Da Zhou occupies Tubo, he will not settle accounts and liquidate them after the fall.

Luo Shixing even hinted that Tubo is too far away from Luoyang, and it can be regarded as death from a long distance for Da Zhou, so it is very likely that a puppet Zanpu will be elected in Tubo, and then Tubo will be treated as a vassal state.

As for the candidate for the puppet Zanpu... there is still room for maneuver at that time.

This can't help but make people fantasize. The puppet Zanpu is also Zanpu, and the political center of Dazhou is indeed far away from here. The Zamp made no difference.

Isn't it just paying tribute to the Great Zhou? This little effort is nothing compared to what you get.

Wang Antong was puzzled and asked: "Master, are we really going to elect another Zanpu?"

Luo Shixing glanced at him: "How do I know what the court will do?"

Wang Antong blinked: "But...you didn't promise them..."

"What did I promise? I just told them there was a possibility, and what did I promise? I'm not the emperor or the prince, and I'm not even a regular army sent by the court. It doesn't count if I promise."

Wang Antong was stunned, almost stunned by the shamelessness of their envoy.

This was the first time he had heard from Luo Shixing that promises don't count. You must know that Luo Shixing was a very committed person, as long as he promised, he would make it no matter how difficult it was.

Luo Shixing was very calm, how could the communication between people be compared with that between countries?

Anyway, let’s talk about stability first, but offering a city is still a bit embarrassing. The ministers of Tubo have studied Sinology, and they also have some understanding of etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame. The sense of shame is relatively higher than that of ordinary people, and it is normal to hesitate.

However, in Luo Shixing's view, these people's hesitation was not because of the high moral bottom line. If it was really high, they should live and die with Tubo at this moment. They were still hesitating because they felt that they didn't have enough chips, and they wanted more things greedily.

Luo Shixing also has some bottom lines. He can't agree to too many political demands. If the other party just asks for money or something, it's okay.

After thinking about it, he still wrote a letter to Luoyang, and ordered people to send it over quickly.

After writing the memorandum, he also asked people to remind the people over there: if you want to act quickly, don't wait for Dusong Mangbuji to be defeated, and it will be impossible for you to want the current conditions.

Coincidentally at this time, the first contact battle between Dusong Mangbuji and Cheng Jingwei ended in failure.

It doesn't count as a failure, but Dusong Mang Buji's purpose is to directly defeat Cheng Jingwei, he can be killed or captured, but Cheng Jingwei slipped away like a cunning fish, and Dusong Mang Buji didn't even bother. How much loss can it cause him.

However, in Dusong Mangbuji's view, this contact battle is a disadvantage because he is more conservative. The behavior of Cheng Jingwei's escape has fueled his arrogance, making him feel that this so-called new general of the Great Zhou is nothing more than a victorious young genius. in this way.

In this case, Dusong Mangbuji will naturally continue to pursue.

But such a fighting situation put pressure on the people who stayed behind in Tubo. Of course they didn’t know that Dusong Mangbuji still had strength left when they were not at the scene. Sure enough not.

So they stepped up their secret discussions. The things Luo Shixing promised were not attractive enough, but at least they could get some money. When Dusong Mangbuji was defeated and the army overwhelmed the city, they might not get anything.

Of course, in this process, there must be a small number of people who disagree, so they now say that they are discussing the request, but they are actually unifying their opinions.

Just when they had almost suppressed the opposition, a monk from Luo Shixing's side suddenly came to see him.

monk?

Luo Shixing was a little surprised when he heard it, and asked, "What kind of monk is it?"

The messenger said, "He said he was a monk from India and he was teaching here."

Luo Shixing was a little puzzled, what did the missionary monks from Tianzhu come to him for?He is not a Buddhist, so could it be that this Buddhist came here to tell him not to commit murder?

He didn't really want to see this monk at first, but this monk brought a very important news: Dusong Mangbuji's confidants in Luoxi City were planning a trap for him.

Luo Shixing was very interested when he heard this. After thinking about it, he seemed to have no problem meeting him. The most important thing was how did this monk know such a confidential matter?

After the monk came in, he first introduced himself as Nanda. Luo Shixing thought that he had seen this name in "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" before. Speaking of which, "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" itself was a novel of Duan Cheng's style in the Tang Dynasty. Don't know if it's in shape now.

He politely asked Nanda to sit down. Originally, he was still worried about how to greet a Buddhist monk.

Unexpectedly, Nanda came up and said directly: "The poor monk came here this time to ask for something."

Luo Shixing thought that you are really impolite, but he still asked very gently: "Master, please tell me."

Nanda said with a serious face: "The poor monk hopes that the Duke of Yue can help the poor monk to eradicate the cult."

"Heretic cult?" Luo Shixing was a little surprised. Isn't the religion here in Tubo very unified?How could there be a cult?

Nanda said very seriously: "Exactly, most of the people in Tubo are deceived by the heretics, they believe in virtue, and they can even participate in the political affairs of Tubo. They are called Gu Xin. These people are very powerful and difficult to tame. , is an existence that urgently needs to be eliminated for Da Zhou."

Luo Shixing: ...

Good guy, you have positioned the state religion as a cult with just one word, you really belong to it.

However, Luo Shixing did not intend to intervene in religious wars. He knew very well that Nanda came to him probably because of the prosperity of Buddhism in the Great Zhou Dynasty, or because of Wu Zhao's strong support for Buddhism.

The fundamental reason why Wu Zhao advocates Buddhism is that she needs a religion to compete with the Taoism of the Li family, so that she has created many myths and legends to make her enthronement smoother.

Now that Wu Zhao has ascended the throne, the Great Zhou has already restricted Buddhism.

In the land of the Central Plains, it is actually not easy for religion to survive, because the common people in this land are all pragmatic, and they will believe you only if they are useful, and they will be thrown aside if they are useless.

Luo Shixing laughed and said, "I'm a Taoist, so I don't know much about these things."

We have different opinions, so please come back.

Taoism and Buddhism have always been in opposition. Even if he doesn't believe in religion, wearing the skin of a Taoist will probably make the other party retreat.

Unexpectedly, Nanda was unmoved, and said: "Duke Yue must be careful, Gu Xin's faction is naturally the enemy of Duke Yue and Marquis Yunhe."

Luo Shixing looked puzzled: "I didn't offend them."

Although in Tubo, religion and politics are highly integrated, the problem is that religion can exist independently of politics, because there are enough people who believe in it, even if Dazhou occupied Tubo, it would be impossible to kill the Bon religion.

There was no need for the Bon religion to be so hostile to Luo Shixing, after all, Luo Shixing had never targeted them from the beginning.

However, Nanda said solemnly: "Tubo Guxin's attire is wearing a white lynx fur jacket and decorated with tiger fur. Isn't this cursing you two?"

Luo Shixing: It's up to you to go online.
