Chapter 746: Pear Blossom Lobbying, Baotong Determination
A disciple of the old mother of Lishan? Daoist Jin Yan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he watched Fan Lihua's eyes flicker slightly.
"Rebellion? If you are an enemy of the imperial court, you are a rebellion, right? Fan Lihua sneered at Feibo Zen Master's words.
"You!" Zen Master Feibo was choked by Fan Lihua's words.
Fan Lihua didn't have the heart to talk to him, and said directly: "I'm here to see Marshal Su, please be polite!" ”
"See Marshal Su? Is Marshal Su what you want to see? Zen Master Feibo sneered disdainfully: "The military camp is important, you actually trespass, and it is very forgiving to you not to punish your crimes." I think you'd better hurry up! ”
As soon as Feibo Zen Master's words fell, the Jinyan Daoist on the side smiled and waved his hand: "Hey! Zen master, the visitor is a guest. Even if you don't look at her face, for the sake of her teacher's Lishan's mother's face, plus her father is a general of Xiliang, we can't be lazy! ”
"Huh?" Feibo Zen Master frowned and looked at Daoist Jin Yan, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not refute anything. After all, the head of Jinyan Dao had just saved him, and his cultivation was profound, so he couldn't offend.
Daoist Jin Yan politely smiled at Fan Lihua and said, "Miss Fan, wait a while, I will let you pass Marshal Su." However, if Marshal Su can't see you, I don't know. ”
"Thank you!" Fan Lihua glanced at Daoist Jin Yan, but nodded indifferently with a twinkle in her eyes.
Soon, Daoist Jinyan, who looked slightly moved, smiled at Fan Lihua and said, "Marshal Su has promised to see you." Miss Fan, please come with me! ”
As he spoke, Daoist Jinyan took the lead. took Fan Lihua and walked towards Su Baotong's handsome tent.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, the Feibo Zen Master with an unhappy look on his face also followed.
Su Baotong's handsome tent. The iron plate man sat cross-legged on one side with an expressionless face, his eyes narrowed.
Su Baotong, who was on the main throne and was dressed in a black robe without armor, was pressing his hands on the handsome case, leaning over slightly, looking at the strong Xiliang general who was kneeling on the ground and trembling like a knife, with a layer of fine cold sweat on his forehead: "After attacking for so long, so many people have died, and you haven't captured Suoyang City, do you still have the face to see me?" ”
"Marshal! The end will be incompetent! The end will be incompetent! Marshal spare your life! The strong Xiliang warrior spoke in a trembling voice.
Slightly eccentric. Su Baotong, whose eyes were lightly closed, opened his eyes again, and couldn't help but shout coldly with a face full of anger: "Get out!" Get down! ”
"Yes, yes," the strong Xiliang general said. was busy, and crawled towards the outside of the handsome tent.
Su Baotong, who watched him leave the handsome tent, was so angry that his chest rose and fell and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Waste! ”
"Huh?" Su Baotong, who turned to look moved, couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
Su Baotong opened his eyes lightly. There was a flash of light in his eyes: "What a fierce thunder fire attack!" Marshal. Who's coming? DID YOU KNOW? Friend or foe? ”
"The daughter of Fan Hong, the chief soldier of Hanjiang Pass, and the disciple of Lishan's old mother, Fan Lihua!" Su Baotong spoke slowly.
The iron plate Taoist couldn't help but wonder unexpectedly: "Fan Lihua? What is she here for, is she here to help the marshal? ”
"Help me? Lishan's mother doesn't interfere much in worldly things, I'm afraid not! Su Baotong shook his head with a deep groan, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful arc: "I'm a little curious, what is she here for?" ”
The iron plate Taoist said: "Most of them are here for the battle of Suoyang City, either to help us, or to be our enemy." Marshal. If she is really our enemy, we must not be merciful! ”
"I understand!" Su Baotong frowned slightly: "I also want to see it." Fan Hong's daughter is not eating inside and out! ”
The iron plate Taoist said confidently: "She has followed the old mother of Lishan since she was a child, and was bewitched by the old mother of Lishan, thinking that Li Tang is the destiny of heaven, and most of them are with Li Tang. ”
"Humph! We'll find out later! Su Baotong's eyes narrowed.
While the two were talking, with a sound of footsteps, Fan Lihua, Jinyan Dao Chang and Feibo Zen Master entered the handsome tent together.
"Marshal Su!" Fan Lihua bowed slightly to Su Baotong, neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing Fan Lihua, Su Baotong, whose eyes lit up, couldn't help but look her up and down, and said with a smile: "The daughter of General Fan Hong of Hanjiang Pass is really a heroic woman. My father and I are old friends. Miss Fan, don't see outside, come, please sit down and speak. ”
"Marshal Xie Su!" Fan Lihua was not polite to Su Bao, and walked directly to the side and sat down cross-legged.
Feibo Zen Master and Jinyan Daoist also sat for the first time under the iron plate Taoist and Fan Lihua. Feibo Zen Master's face was not very good-looking, but Jinyan Daoist looked much calmer, with a faint smile on his face, and he looked kind.
"Miss Fan, please use tea!" Su Baotong, who had to wait for the soldiers to serve tea and politely invited Fan Lihua to tea, asked with a smile: "I don't know why Miss Fan came to see Ben Shuai?" ”
Fan Lihua took a sip of tea, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "Marshal Su, this time Lihua came to the order of the teacher. ”
"Oh? I don't know what advice Lishan's mother's predecessors have? Su Baotong raised his eyebrows, seemed to be interested, and asked with a slight smile in his eyes: "Family teacher Li Daofu is also an old friend with the old mother of Lishan." ”
Fan Lihua said directly: "The meaning of the family teacher is to persuade Marshal Su to avoid fighting and withdraw his troops from Suoyang City, so as not to have swords and soldiers together, and both sides will suffer heavy casualties and lose their lives." ”
"Lishan's old mother is a master of the world, and she can't imagine that she cares so much about worldly things," Su Baotong, who had a faint smile on his face when he heard this, then said with a helpless look: "Miss Fan, these two countries are at war, and each is its own master. I was loved by the king and was named the generalissimo of the Xiliang soldiers and horses. The king has a life, and Ben Shuai can only fight for Xiliang with all his heart. Without the king's order, please forgive me for not being able to retreat. ”
Without waiting for Fan Lihua, who frowned slightly, to say more, Su Baotong continued: "Moreover, the two armies before and after the Tang Dynasty entered my Xiliang, to destroy my Xiliang, kill my generals, and harm my people, which is really too deceitful. Now, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is trapped in Suoyang City by me, as long as Suoyang City is broken, the Emperor of Datang will fall into my hands, and at that time"
"Until then. The imperial court must not hesitate to pour troops into the country, and it is bound to destroy Xiliang in order to save face! Fan Lihua said. The tone was a little cold.
Su Baotong glanced at Fan Lihua, who had a cold face, and couldn't help but smile: "Miss Fan, it seems that you don't have confidence in this battle at all?" That's right, Datang is powerful, but I, Xiliang, am not allowed to be kneaded. Datang attacked me Xiliang, do you want me not to resist and let them bully the weak? ”
"Marshal Su is really good at reversing black and white!" Fan Lihua couldn't help but shake her head and sneered: "If it weren't for Marshal Su who provoked the war." How could Datang send troops to attack Xiliang? Xiliang was originally a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the world was favored by the emperor, but now Marshal Su's actions are trapped in the chaos of the people of Xiliang and the fire and water. How can I bear it? ”
Su Baotong shook his head and pretended to be confused: "Oops! Miss Fan, you really misunderstood me. If it wasn't Ben Shuai who provoked the war, it was really the Tang Dynasty that caused trouble on the border first and made the matter bigger. Ben Shuai just fought back a little. Datang did not relentlessly attack. I think. Datang originally coveted Xiliang. Now, it's just an excuse. ”
"Besides, Ben Shuai was ordered by the king to fight with the Tang Dynasty, is Miss Fan questioning the king?" Su Baotong's tone changed, and he asked sharply.
Fan Lihua was stunned when she heard this, and she was a little annoyed by Su Baotong's unreasonableness like pretending to be confused.
Under Su Baotong's slightly smiling and playful gaze, Fan Lihua, who took a deep breath, suddenly smiled and said, "I see." Marshal Su is really loyal to the king and loyal to Xiliang! ”
"Of course!" Su Bao didn't blush at all. Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "I, Su Bao, have received the favor of the king, how can I not swear to serve and be loyal to my duties?" ”
Fan Lihua was a little angry, and it didn't make sense to reason with this guy.
Fan Lihua, whose eyes flashed slightly, was slightly silent before she slowly spoke: "Just come over, Lihua saw that the soldiers under Marshal Su were besieging Suoyang City, and it seemed that they couldn't attack it for a long time, and they suffered heavy casualties!" ”
"Huh! The people under my command are too useless, which makes Miss Fan laugh," Su Baotong, who was smiling on the surface, had a cold flash in his eyes.
Fan Lihua shook her head and said: "There are so many dead and injured people, according to Lihua, it's not that the soldiers don't need to die, but"
"And what?" Seeing that Fan Lihua stopped talking, Su Baotong couldn't help frowning and shouted.
Fan Lihua, who was slightly silent, looked at Su Baotong and said: "Please Marshal Su forgive Pear Blossom for her courage, Pear Blossom feels that Marshal Su trapped the Tang Emperor and the army of Zhengxi in Suoyang City, which was originally a stinky move." ”
"Stinky chess?" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his face flashed with a grin, revealing a slightly cold smile: "Oh, that handsome person wants to listen to Miss Fan's opinion." ”
Fan Lihua didn't seem to see the coldness in Su Baotong's eyes, and said with a deep expression: "Marshal Su wanted to close the door and beat the dog, but he did something to lure the wolf into the room. Or rather, Marshal Su had too much appetite. Before the imperial army to conquer the west was swallowed, he wanted to eat it together with the imperial court's second army. Don't you know that the second-way army of this imperial court is a hard bone, not so delicious. The army and the emperor of the imperial court, although they are in their mouths, they are not so delicious. ”
"Kind of interesting!" Su Baotong smiled and nodded: "I didn't invite Miss Fan to be my military advisor earlier, it's really a bit of a mistake!" ”
Fan Lihua just smiled: "Marshal Su has won the award!" Rika just said it casually. ”
In a few words, Miss Fan got to the point. With such eyesight, if Miss Fan is not a woman, this position of generalissimo of Xiliang soldiers and horses, this handsome man should really consider whether to give it to you," Su Baotong smiled and stretched out his hand to signal.
Fan Lihua shook her head and smiled: "Marshal Su is strong in martial arts, and Lihua has already heard of it. Pear blossom is a female streamer, dare to dream of the generalissimo's respect? ”
Martial arts? Su Baotong heard the anger in his heart, which obviously meant that he was just a martial artist!
"Hehe" Su Baotong, who laughed, shook his head slightly and suddenly asked, "By the way, since Miss Fan has such a good opinion." So what do you think Ben Shuai should do now to solve the current dilemma? ”
Fan Lihua said directly: "Marshal Su wants to get out of the predicament, and withdrawing troops now is the best choice." ”
"Humph! Fan Lihua! What benefits did the imperial court give you to betray Xiliang? Zen Master Feibo snorted coldly: "We and Marshal Su worked hard to design, and finally trapped the imperial army and the emperor in Suoyang City, and now we say that we will withdraw our troops, so won't all the qiē we did before become useless?" ”
Su Baotong waved his hand slightly to signal Feibo Zen Master to calm down, and his face showed a look of deep thought.
Half an hour later. Su Bao looked up at Fan Lihua with a smile: "Miss Fan, now the second army of the imperial court is coming violently. In Suoyang City, the imperial court's army to the west is still tenacious. Although Ben Shuai has hundreds of thousands of troops. But if you face them inside and outside, after a big battle, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses. It's also a good idea to retire and save your strength, put away your fists and wait for the opportunity to swing again. ”
"Marshal!" Feibo Zen Master's face changed, and he looked at Su Baotong anxiously.
Fan Lihua nodded at Su Baotong with a smile and said, "Marshal Su can afford to take it and put it down, he really has the courage!" ”
"Good! I'll listen to Miss Fan. Retire! Su Baotong nodded and said, "However, at this juncture, if I retreat rashly." If the Second Route Army of the Imperial Court and the Imperial Army of the Imperial Expedition in Suoyang City attack me together, then I will be in trouble. I heard that Miss Fan seems to have a friendship with Xue Dingshan, the marshal of the Second Route Army of the Imperial Court, so why don't you go to see Xue Dingshan on my behalf and tell him that as long as he postpones the march. Give Ben Shuai some time to prepare. Ben Shuai then withdrew. When the time comes, he will be able to unlock the siege of Yangcheng without spending a single soldier, and he will also explain to the Tang Emperor, he should agree. ”
Fan Lihua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and got up with a happy face and bowed her hand to Su Baotong: "Marshal Su understands the righteousness, and Pear Blossom thanks Marshal Su for thousands of Xiliang soldiers." If the two sides can take a break from fighting, it is really a blessing for the people. Without further ado, Pear Blossom took her leave first. ”
"Good! Miss Fan. I wait for your good news! Su Baotong nodded and smiled: "Don't send it!" ”
Seeing Fan Lihua say goodbye with a happy face and turn around to leave the handsome tent, the smile on Su Baotong's face slowly faded.
"Marshal. You're really ready," Zen Master Feibo hurriedly spoke.
Su Baotong sneered and said: "Withdraw troops? Joke! Ben Shuai finally trapped the imperial court's expedition to the west and the Tang Emperor, seeing that it was successful, how could he withdraw his troops lightly, causing the previous design to fall short? ”
"Marshal, in fact, what Fan Lihua said is not unreasonable. Let's withdraw our troops first and preserve our strength. It's a real war, and we don't know for sure! After all, we have been attacking Suoyang City for several days, and the impact on morale is not small. And the second army of the imperial court is connected to the three passes, and the edge is flourishing. Their arrival will inevitably boost the morale of the Zhengxi army trapped in Suoyang City.
Listening to the words of the iron plate Taoist, Su Baotong, whose face changed slightly, waved his hand blankly, gritted his teeth, and said with a firm expression: "Dao Chief, don't say more!" Ben Shuai has made up his mind, and while the second army of the imperial court is supported by Fan Lihua, he will give me all the strength to attack Suoyang City, at any cost. As long as we capture Suoyang City, even if the second army of the imperial court comes, the enemy can defend the city and slowly consume them. ”
"That's right! The defenders in Suoyang City have held out for so long, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on. If you stop at this time, it will indeed be a failure," Feibo Zen Master's eyes burned.
The iron plate Taoist still couldn't help but frown a little worriedly: "Marshal, this is too risky!" Once we fail, then these hundreds of thousands of troops are only afraid"
"Humph! Even if he fails this time, Ben Shuai has the confidence to make a comeback," Su Baotong was very resolute: "Who has achieved great things since ancient times, who can succeed easily without taking risks?" Three, if my Datang is so light, I can deal with it, and I, Su Baotong, don't need to ask you to go out of the mountain to help. What's the point of success without a little twists and turns? Are you willing to fight side by side with me in the war and fight for our great cause? ”
Daoist Jin Yan smiled: "I can't wait to meet the masters of the imperial army for a while!" ”
"I've been waiting for this battle for a long time! Before, the imperial court's expedition to the west was so cowardly, it was really boring," Feibo Zen Master grinned, his smile was a little hideous and cold.
Seeing this, the iron plate Taoist couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Okay! Since you are all so confident, then the poor way is with you! ”
"Haha! Good! The order went down, and attacked Suoyang City at any cost, and Ben Shuai personally pressed the formation! Su Bao and Huo Ran got up and shouted vigorously.
The three Feibo Zen masters looked at each other, and they were all excited, and they each stood up.
"By the way, Marshal! The young general of the Tang Army who was cut off by you appeared in Beicheng today. It's strange that his arm turned out to be intact," Feibo Zen Master, who seemed to think of something, frowned and said hurriedly.
Su Baotong was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Tang Junjun's young general?" You mean?"
"Broken Arm Reborn?" Su Baotong was a little incredulous: "Who is the master who quietly cured him?" It's really hateful to hurt me! ”
Daoist Jin Yan also said solemnly: "Marshal Su, being reborn with a broken arm is not an ordinary means. This person who secretly treated the young general of the Tang Army is not an ordinary person! If that man is against us, then"
"That's right! Marshal, the young general of the Tang Army seems to be Fan Lihua's junior brother," Zen Master Feibo continued.
Su Baotong was a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning: "Fan Lihua's junior brother? I haven't heard that Lishan's mother has accepted any male disciples? ”
"Fan Lihua admitted in person, it shouldn't be wrong," Daoist Jin Yan also said busily: "Marshal Su, the young general of the Tang Army should not be a disciple of Lishan's old mother." If I'm not mistaken, it should be a disciple of the senior master who is good friends with the old mother of Lishan. I just don't know who the master is! ”
The iron plate Taoist with a slightly moving expression raised his eyebrows and said: "By the way, someone has broken through our army's blockade and entered Suoyang City before, isn't it?"
"It must be Fan Lihua!" Zen Master Feibo also reacted, glaring and saying angrily.
"Fan Lihua!" Su Baotong, who gritted his teeth and turned cold, couldn't help but have a cold light flashing in his eyes: "You dare to do bad things to me repeatedly, do you really think that you are a disciple of Lishan's old mother, and this handsome can't do anything to you?" Hum! When I clean up Xue Dingshan, I'll find you to settle this account. I'm going to ask Fan Hong how he taught his daughter. ”
The iron plate Taoist couldn't help but say: "Marshal, without further ado, Fan Lihua's matter can be put aside for the time being, and the capture of Suoyang City is the most important thing, and we don't have much time to delay." ”
"Suoyang City? Speaking of which, I would like to thank Fan Lihua this time! Su Baotong, who sneered, had even more coldness in his eyes: "Go!" Follow me to the north gate of Suoyang City, I want to see if the young general of the Tang Army still dares to do anything with me. This time, once he fought me, he wasn't as lucky as last time. ”
Daoist Jin Yan also said confidently: "Marshal Su direction!" If he dares to strike, I will help you catch him. ”
"Catch him? What shall I do with him? As soon as you have the chance, help me kill him directly! Su Bao looked murderous in his eyes: "Since Fan Lihua is bent on being my enemy, then don't blame me for being ruthless." (To be continued......)
