Chapter 41 Waiting
Su Dawei wanted to say that it might not be so smooth.
He knew the general direction of the future.
While conquering Goguryeo, there was a lot of peace in the northwest Tubo.
In my memory, Su Dingfang went northwest.
Li Zhi had no choice but to order Cheng Mingzhen to conquer Goguryeo, and Xue Rengui was appointed as the deputy.
However, the army may set out at any time. If you say you can't say something unlucky, it's okay to be successful. If it doesn't go well, why don't you be scolded?
After a change of thought, Su Dawei said, "You guess who will Your Majesty send to serve as a general this time to conquer Liaodong?"
"Of course it's General Su Dingfang."
"otherwise."
Su Dawei smiled and said, "I guess General Su Dingfang has other military affairs and cannot go to Liaodong."
"This is impossible!"
Xue Rengui was the first to object.
He knows the inside story.
It was almost a foregone conclusion that Li Zhi planned to use Su Dingfang as the commander.
Only one clear idea is left.
How could it be possible to not use Su Dingfang?
An Wensheng thought so, touching his chin and pondered: "Your Majesty wants to surpass Taizong. Since he conquered Goguryeo, he must have used all his strength. Now, no one in the Tang Dynasty is more qualified except General Su Dingfang."
Su Dawei had long expected that they would not believe it.
He smiled happily and said, "Do you want to make a bet?"
"bet?"
Xue Rengui looked at him with some confusion, thinking in his mind, Ami took the wrong medicine, why did he have different ideas from everyone on this matter?
He glanced at An Wensheng, but saw An Wensheng shrugging his shoulders, obviously not knowing it.
Seeing their performance, Su Dawei only felt like he wanted to laugh.
I know this feeling, you don’t know.
The taste of cheating is so cool.
"You all believe that this expedition to Liaodong must be Su Dingfang as the general. I said no, so let's bet on this."
"Then... what are the rewards and punishments for winning or losing?"
An Wensheng obviously became interested in silk.
"I lost, I can promise you one thing, as long as it is within my power and does not violate morality and law, I will do it with all my might. The same goes for the other way around. Do you two dare to bet?"
Su Dawei deliberately used words to inspire.
"Rengui, if you think the coach is not Su Dingfang this time, then you don't have to bet. If you have confidence, you might as well give it a try."
"If you lose, you agree to do something?"
"right."
"Why don't you dare to gamble if you don't violate morality and law?"
Xue Rengui laughed.
When he was conquering Goguryeo, he rode alone, with white horses and white robes, and dared to rush to the battlefield alone to save the Tang army.
If there was no such little tiger energy and such courage, how could he be a famous general?
Now, the fire in his heart is still there.
He laughed at Su Dawei's bet and agreed.
An Wensheng thought about it and agreed immediately.
The three of them slapped the high fives and made the bet, and they only waited for it to be announced in the future.
After doing this, Su Dawei felt relieved: Damn, I really worried about Rengui and the Tang Dynasty. I hope this bet will play a role in the future when Xue Rengui fights against Dafeichuan with Tubo.
"Ami, you just wanted to speak but stopped, and bet that General Su could not be the head coach. What is the inside story?"
Xue Rengui was still worried and couldn't help asking.
Su Dawei did not answer him directly, but turned to An Wensheng: "Wensheng, do you still remember what I said when I was in the snowy land?"
An Wensheng showed a look of memories: "You said that Tubo is ambitious, and he is afraid he will be the enemy of my Tang Dynasty?"
He was stunned for a moment: "You mean, Tubo really wants..."
"The Battle of Songzhou has not been many years since then?" Su Dawei sneered: "At that time, Tubo had not yet completely annexed Xiangxiong, he dared to send troops to Tuyuhun. It can be seen that expansion was the national policy established by the Tubo people.
Now Tubo has unified the snowy territory and is countless times stronger than before.
Wang Xuance could destroy Zhongtianzhu by borrowing the Tubo army. You guessed that such a powerful Tubo would be at ease with the status quo?"
After hearing Su Dawei's words, An Wensheng and Xue Rengui fell silent at the same time.
Both of them are soldiers who know how to be aware of the war, so they naturally know that Su Dawei is telling the truth.
But in my heart, I still feel a little unacceptable.
Since Tubo married Princess Wencheng, he has always been obedient to the Tang Dynasty. How could he be...
"Songtsen Gampo has been dead for several years, and Princess Wencheng's love has long been gone. Now they have completely digested Xiangxiong's territory, and their ambitions have been extremely inflated...
In Bayan Kala Mountain, do you still remember what Lu Dongzan said before the statue of Fengrao Buddha?
He said that the saint was related to how quickly the Tuyuhun people tamed it."
As soon as this was said, An Wensheng couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot, there is indeed this."
Xue Rengui's eyes widened, and he still couldn't believe it: "You mean, will Tubo use troops against the Tang Dynasty?"
"That's not enough, but the Tang Dynasty's strategy turned to Liaodong, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Tubo people must have wanted to take this time window to annex Tuyuhun and use it as a springboard for invasion of the Tang Dynasty."
When Su Dawei said this, there was another quietness in the study.
Xue Rengui's expression was unstable.
An Wensheng frowned and paced back and forth a few steps: "I have known Tubo's ambitions for a long time, but I don't know when they will move. Now, I heard from Ami that I really...
If the Tang Dynasty went to war with Goguryeo, it would definitely be a battle to converge and do everything.
This is the best time for the Tubo people."
"No wonder Ami just said she wanted to bet with me... You are cheating!" An Wensheng suddenly reacted.
"Okay, okay, more mature, I've been swearing to high-fives. Do you want to renege? Besides, isn't it decided yet? Wait for a while and see the result. I'm actually just guessing."
“That’s right.”
After hearing this, An Wensheng felt it was reasonable and became confident.
Su Dawei's speculation cannot be said to be unreasonable, but it ignores a problem.
That's time.
Chang'an and Tubo are thousands of miles apart. If you want to communicate information, eight months will pass along the way.
With such a long time, it was impossible for the Tubo people to know exactly when the Tang Dynasty sent troops, so how could they accurately grasp the time window?
"But what if, I say, if General Su Dingfang really wants to lead his troops to attack Tubo, you are familiar with the terrain of Tubo. Just as Yuan Shoucheng also wanted to go, you can follow General Su Dingfang and point him along the way and tell him the mountains and terrain.
Otherwise, our soldiers will naturally be at a disadvantage if they fight on the plateau."
An Wensheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Su Dawei called Xue Rengui and An Wensheng today. His main purpose was to arrange An Wensheng for Su Dingfang to conquer Tubo, which was also considered to contribute to his teacher.
An Wensheng's strengths can also help the Tang army, killing two birds with one stone.
Another thing is to let Xue Rengui get psychological preparation in advance, knowing that the coach of Goguryeo this time, would not be Su Dingfang, but had psychological construction.
At the same time, he bet that when Xue Rengui conquers Dafeichuan in the future, he can use this as an excuse to intervene to see if he can change Xue Rengui's combat ideas and turn the tide.
In his own words, he was really worried.
"Okay, I have nothing else to do, if you..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold snorted suddenly outside the door: "What does nothing else mean? You have a lot of things."
The sound caused the three people in the study to turn their heads together.
I saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression and a bit ferocious expression. He walked in with a black eye mask on one of his face.
Nie Su was followed behind.
Who else can there be if it’s not a tall dragon?
"Dalong, why are you here?"
Su Dawei said a little surprised.
"I won't come? If I don't come again, can't the case be handled?"
Gao Dalong sneered, sat down with a familiar butt, glanced at An Wensheng and Xue Rengui, hugged and clasped their fists, saying hello.
"The case is handled, isn't it still under investigation now?"
"Liu's mother, how many days have you been back to handle this case? Now that you have finally caught Cui Sanlang, who is in a rebellion, and you have stopped Cui Liulang, you have no movement? What's next? What's next?"
The tall dragon flashed blood in one eye.
Su Dawei was not afraid at all and smiled: "You're just for this?"
"I heard that you have obtained Cui Liulang's confession. What have you found now? What did you find out? You have to tell me."
The tall dragon slapped the table and was full of anger.
"Dalong, you're calm for a while. They're all your family. Who are you going to show me?"
Su Dawei gave him a blank look: "You are nothing more than worrying about this case, trying to find out the result in advance."
"Uh, ahem."
Gao Dalong was told through his thoughts and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Even if I'm curious, it's for this case, yes, it's purely for official business."
Xue Rengui and An Wensheng were on the side, and they were confused when they heard it.
Su Dawei naturally would not explain.
He said to Gao Dalong with great thought: "You have to handle a case step by step. Although Cui Sanlang and Cui Liulang have been arrested, the case has not been completely resolved. It has only solved some of the questions. If you really need to know the answer, you have to wait patiently for a few days."
"What are you waiting for? What's the point?" Gao Dalong rolled his eyes, obviously not having much patience.
"The worst is the evidence, and the worst is the clue."
Su Dawei said seriously: "You and I suspect Cui Sanlang, so we lead him to the charity village, but who would have thought that there were clues on the deceased, and nothing we prepared in advance was useful.
Now that I want to find out the truth, it is far from enough to rely on Cui Sanlang and Cui Liulang alone.
You ask me what else to do?
I tell you that there is only one thing to do, and that is to wait."
"wait?"
"I have put down the bait. As long as the person behind the scenes can't help it, he will definitely show his strength.
You said, in this situation, are you waiting or not?"
"There is no more proactive?"
"No."
Su Dawei spread his hands: "You want to tell me if you want."
"Uh, okay, then wait for another two days."
Gao Dalong said with some dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Handling a case is not that simple. There are not enough clues and insufficient evidence, and it is impossible to close the case. We have to do everything step by step and lead the murderer out step by step."
"Why does this sound like a military force? Setting up an ambush?" An Wensheng joked.
"You're right."
