367. I'm sorry, we don't accept peace! (4000 words)
Hou Junji's battle order was transmitted to the Yingyangwei camp in the afternoon.
Tang Heshang was not ambiguous, and directly found Cheng Chubi, Fang Er and Li Zhen to announce the battle plan and orders.
"Shiro, Shogun!"
After listening to the order, Cheng Chubi quit, "Let's come so far here just to make a feint?" ”
"That's it!"
Li Zhen also wanted to pick a son, "This Hou Junji is too much, isn't it obvious that we will not be allowed to make meritorious contributions!" Let's Eagle Guard come all the way, what's the picture? Anyway, I don't take this order, and I can't give it to the brothers! ”
"On the Tang River, you're too cowardly!"
Fang Jun was even more angry, "Our cannonballs are so expensive, used for feints?" I'll go to Hou Junji and talk about it! ”
Dropping a sentence, Fang Erlang's temper came up again, and he was ready to go out of the tent to find Hou Junji's theory!
"Come back!"
Tang Heshang glared, "What to do?" He Hou Junji was born as a gangster, and so is your Fang Erlang? Okay, we have already made a lot of contributions on the grassland, and we can't afford to make a small contribution and Hou Junji! Besides, a feint attack is not bad, there is no need for the brothers to take risks, no matter how expensive the shells are, they are not as valuable as the lives of our eagle brothers, right?
That's it, immediately move, push out the red-coated cannon, and early tomorrow morning, let's start a feint! ”
"Four ......"
Fang Jun was about to say something, but Tang Heshang snatched the words all of a sudden: "That's it!" Hurry up and prepare! ”
“......”
I was about to say "Shiro", Fang Jun looked resentful, turned around and walked out of the tent to go.
I have to say that Tang Laosi's prestige in front of his brothers is still good, although Fang Lao Si felt uncomfortable, he carried out the instructions without hesitation.
In just two quarters of an hour, six red-coated cannons were dragged two miles outside the north gate of the Gaochang capital, and the swarthy muzzles of the cannons were facing the north city gate.
The distance of two miles was enough for the Gaochang soldiers on the city tower to see the six giant cannons clearly.
"Head, what do you see what that is?"
When a Gaochang soldier saw the red-coated cannon, he immediately reported to his chief. It's not that the soldiers are overly sensitive, it's that there's really no way, the enemy is overwhelmed, can you be more cautious? Even if it's not for the king's sake, you have to think about running for your own life. In case the enemy really attacks, you have to act at the right time and find an excuse to hide, right?
"I don't know that! I'm going to report to the brigade commander! ”
Shi Chang carefully observed for a long time on the city tower, and found that he had really never seen the things of the Tang people, and in line with the idea of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, he turned around and ran away to tell his Shangguan about it.
The brigade commander came and saw and left, and he didn't know the thing, so he could only tell the lieutenant about it.
Then the lieutenant told the general, and the general told the lieutenant general......
It didn't take long for a general wearing fish scale armor to come to the north city wall, he looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but spit out a foul word, "Straight lady thief, why did these people come here?" ”
This lieutenant general was the one who had only recently retreated from the grassland battlefield, and when he saw the swarthy barrel, the white cloak and green military uniform on the opposite side......
General Zhonglang's memory was immediately recalled, the deafening roar, the scene of the man turning on his back, and the scene of tens of thousands of people unsuccessfully attacking the defense line of 1,000 people......
The most important thing is that a hundred paces away, the Khan suddenly fell from his horse and died......
There is a sentence in my heart that I want to talk about "hemp wheat skin"!
"Look at the other side well, and report anything immediately!"
Zhonglang will feel his scalp tingling, turn around and walk in the direction of the stairs, and drop a sentence along the way: "Ben will go to report to the general and His Majesty!" ”
The brigade commander and the lieutenant looked at the back of their general leaving, and always had a feeling: Why do I think the general's walking posture is a little weird? Like ...... Squatting in the thatched house for a long time, and your legs are numb?
After getting off the city tower, Zhonglang ordered someone to bring the horse, but his calf was weak, and he failed to get on the horse. He didn't care about his own disgrace, so he ordered the soldier to bend down and get on the horse's back by stepping on the soldier's back.
......
Ju Wentai's palace is not big, but it is resplendent and quite atmospheric.
At this time, in the study room of the palace, Ju Wentai, the prime minister, the general, and the heads of the six departments were all gathered here.
Ju Wentai, who was sitting on the main seat, had a sad face, and the other officials were also full of worry.
But no one wanted Fu Yun's subordinates to secretly discuss giving Ju Wentai to the shark, and then get out to surrender and ask for credit. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! Ju Wentai's control over Gaochang is much stronger than Fu Yun's, and besides, most of Gaochang's nobles are not tolerated by the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible to be a rich man in the local area after the surrender of the nobles of Tuyuhun.
If these Gaochang nobles surrender, even if the capital crime can be avoided, it is very likely that they will be sent to Chang'an to live.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged general wearing fish scale armor ran in, it was the Zhonglang general who was upstairs in Beicheng before, and he reported while trotting: "Your Majesty, the princes are not good......!" ”
Before Zhonglang could say the rest of the words, Ju Wentai suddenly stood up and asked anxiously, "The enemy has attacked the city?" ”
"No, not really!"
"Oh! That's fine, let's talk, what's the matter? ”
"Your Majesty, it's that army that is coming!"
OK? What a fart!
General Zhonglang said with a sad face: "It's the team I met in the Turkic Royal Court!" ”
"Huh?"
Ju Wentai, who was sitting on the dragon couch, was stunned for a moment, he was half-squatting, as if his legs were frozen, and the expression on his face, which had already become a little relaxed, changed suddenly.
Your Majesty, this is ...... Want to cry?
Zhonglang General boldly raised his head and glanced at Ju Wentai's expression, and suddenly felt a feeling in his heart.
Glancing at the expressions of his own general and prime minister, he saw that the general looked incredulous, while the prime minister and several Shangshu looked confused, completely unaware of what was going on.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhonglang gritted his teeth, buried his head and asked in a low voice, "What do you think we should do?" ”
Ju Wentai was awakened by these words, and his face turned pale, as if to say, "I, how do you know what to do?" ”。
Taking a deep breath, Ju Wentai stood up, "Indeed, are you sure it's that team?" ”
"The last general, I've been watching it for a long time!"
Zhonglang will bury his head even lower, "The six black trebuchets, as well as the white cloak and dark green uniform, are almost certain to be the team. ”
"Let's go! General, let's take a look! ”
Ju Wentai didn't say a word, pulled the general and left, leaving a room full of inexplicable civil officials, as well as the Zhonglang general who had just come back to report.
Zhonglang General also wanted to follow, but was stopped by the prime minister, "What's going on?" ”
"Hui Xiangye! The Tang people have a very powerful army......"
Zhonglang tried his best to explain in the shortest words, but he couldn't help but come up with a few very intuitive words, such as "there are few people on the other side", "great lethality", "tens of thousands of people have been killed", ......
The prime minister and the six Shangshu were stunned when they heard this, when did Datang have such a powerful army? Is this Nima sure that it is an army, not a heavenly soldier?
No way! I'm going to check it out!
Go together, go together!
The prime minister and the six scholars looked at each other for a moment, agreed with their eyes, and then turned around and ran towards the door.
On the north wall, Ju Wentai and his party almost chased the back foot with the front foot.
The soldiers knelt down one after another to salute Ju Wentai, but Ju Wentai did not say a word and did not scruple about it, and walked directly to the edge of the city tower and looked into the distance.
The prime minister, who happened to see this scene in his eyes, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, obviously, Your Majesty is very scared!
Looking in the direction of the emperor's gaze, the prime minister only saw six fist-sized pieces of things in the snow two miles away.
"That's what you call trebuchet?"
The prime minister pulled Zhonglang and asked.
Nakaro swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Not far away, the first Gaochang soldier who was still kneeling on the ground and noticed the abnormality of the enemy army couldn't help but deflect his head and let his eyes be aimed at his own emperor's calf.
The eyes seemed to say, "Your Majesty, why does your majesty want us to kneel all the time today?" ”。
"Huh?"
The soldier's brow suddenly furrowed, and he realized that he actually saw His Majesty's legs trembling slightly!
Your Majesty, this is ...... Cold?
Before he could get an answer, the soldier suddenly turned his head back, and his eyes moved to the ground.
It was Ju Wentai who turned around and walked directly in the direction of the stairs.
The soldier glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and the shoes of His Majesty and the General shook past his eyes one after another......
"Your Majesty! Is that really that powerful? ”
On the way back to the palace, the prime minister couldn't help but ask.
"Hey!"
Ju Wentai sighed faintly, "Go back to the palace and talk about it!" ”
Two or three miles away, only a quarter or two of an hour's journey, but the prime minister and the six Shangshu are like years. The meaning revealed in His Majesty's sigh really makes our hearts cold!
After all, the palace arrived, and when he returned to the study again, the sadness on Ju Wentai's face was like a dark cloud in the sky, as if it could no longer be dissolved, "A few Aiqing, the prime minister asked me a question, is that thing really that powerful?"
I really want to say no!
However, that thing is really powerful, don't look at them about two miles from our city wall, but if the other party really wants to fight, the entire palace will be within their attack distance!
When I was in the grassland, I tried, at least eight miles, I suspect it will be farther! ”
"So!"
Ju Wentai's tone was full of loss, "Our city can't be defended!" I thought about it, and sent someone to the other side's military camp to see if I could negotiate peace. We can't watch our century-old city be destroyed! ”
Peace?
The prime minister's face is very exciting, His Majesty's two words are very good and insightful, but why does the corner of his mouth always want to twitch?
Six books, you look at me, I look at you, and they all saw three words in each other's eyes: "shameless"!
The general was obviously more upright, and he spoke: "Your Majesty, let's vote...... Ahem, what are the conditions for peace? What you are willing to give, you have to give everyone an instruction. ”
Ju Wentai couldn't help glaring at the general, that is, now, if it were to change to the past, it would definitely be dragged out and given twenty lashes first!
Emperor Gaochang said: "Aiqing is reasonable, to negotiate peace, naturally we need to show our sincerity." However, before saying this sincerity, let's decide who wants to make a trip, right? Prime Minister, why don't you go? Rest assured, they are all Han Chinese, and we know the truth that the two armies will not fight each other, and they also know it. ”
"It's His Majesty's roll call!"
The prime minister smiled bitterly and said, "The minister is naturally willing to share his worries for His Majesty!" Please also ask Your Majesty to tell the minister, our bottom line and the conditions we want! ”
"Hmm!"
Ju Wentai snorted and said extremely reluctantly: "First, I can lead Gaochang to attach Li Er, but at least one is required to join Chang'an, even if it is an idle position."
Second, we all have a big family, and we can't go to Chang'an without anything, right? You have to bring the softness of the house, don't you?
Third......! ”
The prime minister took the emperor's words seriously in his mind for a while, and then nodded and turned around and walked out.
......
time, half an hour later; Location, two miles outside the north wall of the capital of Gaochang, the artillery position of the Eagle Yang Guard.
An Eagle Guard soldier inspects the chamber of the cannon!
It was an order issued by the head of the house, saying that the artillery would be of great use tomorrow, and it must be carefully checked, but don't blow it up and make jokes.
With a casual glance, the soldier seemed to notice that the city gate opposite seemed to be a little different from before!
Look closely, huh?
There is a gap in the opposite wall, and the gap is getting bigger!
The enemy is going to attack?
"Squad leader! There's movement on the other side! ”
The soldier didn't think about it, and immediately reported aloud.
When the squad leader heard this, he was not ambiguous, and directly took out the binoculars in his pocket to take a look!
Obediently, several people on the opposite side rode out of the city gate, and the leader held a ...... Stick?
No!
Wrong!
The squad leader took a closer look, it was a white flag?
"On the other side, this is going to surrender?"
The squad leader frowned and thought for a moment, "No, tell the brothers to load their ammunition, and once the other party shows signs of attacking, we will open fire immediately!" ”
It turns out that this Eagle Yangwei squad leader thought too much!
The other party only ran over three times, and the gate was closed again......
Not long after, the old man of the enemy holding the white flag finally came to the artillery position, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic! I'm here to negotiate, to negotiate! ”
"Negotiated? Come a few people and bring them to the general! If they do something crooked, they will shoot them to death! ”
The squad leader gave an order, and just like that, the prime minister and two entourages were brought to Tang Heshang.
This made Donald Si very surprised, Nima, what is there to negotiate with Gao Chang? Unless......
"You're here to ask for surrender?"
Tang Heshang rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a possibility!
"No!"
The prime minister shook his head like a rattle, and said solemnly: "We are here to negotiate peace!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Before Tang Laosi could speak, Cheng Chubi beside him laughed, "Shilang, he said that they are here to negotiate peace!" Hahaha! Laugh at me, do you believe it, I almost believed it! ”
"Shut up! Visitors are guests! ”
Tang Heshang reprimanded Cheng Chubi, then turned his head and said to the old man with a smile: "This old man, I'm sorry, we Ying Yangwei are not ready to make peace with Gao Chang!" ”
“......”
The prime minister is full of black lines, Nima ...... Can't you save face?
