Song Xiance led the order to go east, all the way to Tongguan hurriedly, day and night, did not dare to stop for a while, only one day, rushed to Tongguan.

At this time, I saw that above Tongguan, the Tang army was already dense, and the flags were planted, and Song Xiance felt indescribable sadness and sentimentality.

Alas, this thing is like yesterday, and it is no longer the owner under its feet.

Unexpectedly, Li Guo's house, under the strong attack of the Tang army, would be lost so quickly, this Tongguan is the gateway to Shaanxi, and once it is taken here, Xi'an will have no danger to defend for hundreds of miles here, and the Tang army will be under the city of Xi'an, which is just around the corner.

Alas, I really didn't expect that Dashun only took the capital two years ago, expanding the land for thousands of miles, and now, even thinking about the corner of the country in the land of Guanshan can not be obtained, but can only bend the knee to the Tang army to sue for peace, such a change, how can it not make people sigh.

Just as he was sighing, a group of people poured out of Tongguan, and immediately surrounded Song Xiance and others, asking them what they meant.

Song Xiance didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told everyone the intention of this trip.

When these soldiers and horses heard about the intention, they immediately brought Song Xiance and others into Tongguan. After entering Tongguan, Song Xiance was shocked to hear that Li Xiao, the king of Tang, was also among them.

It turned out that just this morning, Li Xiao, the king of the Tang Dynasty, had quietly gone south from Beijing and had just arrived at this Tongguan.

Since the Tang army took the Central Plains, Li Xiao, who was originally in Beijing, realized that the final decisive battle with Dashun was about to be ushered in in the area of Guanzhong.

In addition, Li Xiao also considered that under the situation of the pressure of the army, Li Zicheng would most likely not be able to resist the pressure and would bend his knees to seek peace, so in order to better arrange the possible peace talks with Dashun in the future, it was also necessary for Li Xiao to come to Shaanxi in person to control the situation at any time.

Therefore, Li Xiao, the king of the Tang Dynasty, took his relatives to praise Chen Zilong, personally set off from Beijing, stayed overnight all the way, and finally arrived at Tongguan eight days later.

At this time, Tongguan had just been captured by the Tang army, and Li Xiao was very happy to receive retribution on the road. After entering Tongguan, Li Xiao immediately ordered the whole army to be rewarded, from top to bottom, all of them were rewarded, and the whole army shouted long live, and everyone was happy.

Unexpectedly, after rewarding Fang Bi, Li Xiao and the others had not had time to rest, so they heard a report from their subordinates, saying that Song Xiance, the envoy of Dashun outside the Guan, had come to meet and asked for peace with the Tang army.

Li Xiao thought about it for a while, and had already guessed the intentions of Song Xiance and others in his heart, so he immediately agreed, and cleaned up a clean house in Tongguan and met this person here.

Song Xiance and a group of entourage, under the leadership of the soldiers of the Tang Army, entered the pass, walked through the streets and alleys, and went straight to Li Xiao's place.

Along the way, the group only saw the Tongguan, which was damaged by the Tang army's siege that day, and had been basically repaired. There are a large number of Tang army soldiers and horses stationed in the city, and there are slogans and military songs of the Tang army's drills everywhere.

At this moment, Song Xiance and others unconsciously recalled the scene of Tongguan under the rule of Dashun in the past, just like yesterday, but things were like people, and everyone felt sad in their hearts.

Rao was heartbroken, but everyone couldn't show it, so they had to follow the Tang army who led the way, and after a while, they arrived at Li Xiao's residence.

Seeing the well-equipped and heavily guarded guards at the door of the room, Song Xiance felt a sense of azement, and his heart was even more frightened. At this time, a civil official came and took Song Xiance's entourage to another place. And Song Xiance himself could only follow the soldiers who led the way all the way in a sullen manner, and soon came to the living room.

As soon as Song Xiance entered the door, he saw Li Xiao, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who was firmly seated, wearing a purple and gold crown, a bright red python robe, a green rhino jade belt around his waist, and black leather shoes.

At this time, Li Xiao was sitting on a tiger head chair, and next to him, he was sitting with him praising and painting Chen Zilong.

Almost instantly, Song Xiance remembered the scene when he went to Nanjing to discuss peace, but it was similar to now.

Li Xiao's guy is really Dashun's sworn enemy, step by step, Dashun, who was originally dominating the Central Plains and dominates the Beijing Division, was beaten to the point of losing his armor and abandoning his armor, and the army was defeated and landslided.

Song Xiance sighed in his heart, but on the surface he was still trying to control his emotions, he entered the hall and knelt down hurriedly about a few steps away from Li Xiao.

"Dashun Household Department Shangshu Song offers advice, meet the Tang King."

Li Xiao tilted Song Xiance, who was kneeling down, a mocking smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Song Shangshu, get up and talk." ”

Song Xiance rose in response, and Li Xiao then ordered someone to sit and give tea, and then he served the tea bowl and drank it very leisurely.

Seeing Li Xiao's indifferent state, Song Xiance's heart was inexplicably sour. Alas, the country is in decline, Dashun has become a candle in the wind, and the envoy of the country is treated extremely embarrassing.

For a while, Song Xiance was sad, but he didn't know how to deal with it next, and what to say to say appropriately.

In such an embarrassing situation, Chen Zilong coughed lightly twice, and Fang broke the silence: "Song Shangshu, you made a special trip to Tongguan, what is the matter?" ”

Hearing Chen Zilong's question, Song Xiance secretly gritted his teeth, then stood up from the chair and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Song Shangshu, who are you?"

"Tang Wang, Chen Zanhua, I waited for this special trip to come, I really hope that your army can negotiate peace with my Dashun on this, settle the battle, and no longer have swords and soldiers."

In an almost pleading tone, Song Xiance bowed his hands to Li Xiao and Chen Zilong, who were seated.

Li Xiao and Chen Zilong glanced at each other, but they were silent.

"Two, Dashun and your army have fought so far, it can be said that they have suffered heavy losses, and they are embarrassed to fight again, so they sent a certain family to come, hoping to reconcile with your army and reach a peace agreement, so as to stop the sword soldiers. From then on, it was best for the two countries to be reconciled. Song Xiance was sad in his heart, but a smile was forced on his face, he was so sad, and his words were even more pitiful.

Li Xiao slowly put down the teacup, smiled lightly and said, "What?" Your country can't fight anymore? Thinking of coming to peace? When you formed an alliance with the Qing court and wanted to fight our Tang army together, why didn't you see it like this now? ”

Song Xiance's face was stunned, his face felt even more restless, he forced out an ugly smile, and said in a flattering voice: "King Tang, it was my Dashun who was bewitched by the Qing people before, and I didn't know the might of the heavenly soldiers, and I fought with your country, so that I was ashamed of today's defeat. Now that I think about it, how ashamed and regretful! It's just that these unhappiness are all in the past, and King Tang, you have a lot of adults, so don't mention it more. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said hurriedly: "King Tang, everything but look at the long term, why keep dwelling on the past?" At present, from top to bottom, our country hopes to stop the war, so we have been sent to seek peace negotiations. I waited for such a request to see, it is really sincere, and I hope that King Tang will not be suspicious. ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "In this case, what conditions do you plan to put forward to negotiate peace with my Tang Army?" ”

Song Xiance's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it urgently, he quickly replied: "King Tang, the emperor said that as long as your army is willing to make peace with my Dashun, and is willing to withdraw from the entire northern Shaanxi, as well as the area from Huazhou to Tongguan in eastern Shaanxi, it can be returned to your army. In addition, a large amount of gold and silver were given to reward your army in this way. I only want to reach an agreement with your army as soon as possible, resume trade with your country, and forever become a brotherly state, help each other and alliance, and never turn our backs. ”

After listening to Song Xiance's words, Chen Zilong sneered: "Song Shangshu, your abacus must have played too well." With such conditions, you want to negotiate peace with our army, don't you tease me and wait? ”

"Oh? There is no such intention in the next place. But I don't know, what is the meaning of Chen Zan's painting? ”

"Humph! You don't want to think about it, our army has been fighting bloody battles for days, Tongguan has fallen, and there is no obstacle in Guanshan, in Huazhou and other places, our army will be like a bag to take things, and I want you to pretend to be a charity. And in northern Shaanxi, the collapse of the Shun army is imminent, why do you want to give it up! What's more, the entire Guanshan, and even the Gansu area, was originally the homeland of my Ming Dynasty, and now it will be taken back by our army, which is even more reasonable. If you are still so strong and reasonable, then this talk of peace will never be mentioned again! Chen Zilong's words were tough, and his voice was cold.

Hearing Chen Zilong's words, Song Xiance's heart suddenly became cold, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was silent for a while before he took over with a smile: "Chen Zanhua, you are right." May I ask, if according to your army's wishes, what are the conditions under which we will agree to negotiate with your army? ”

Chen Zilong glanced at him coldly, and said: "According to our army's opinion, your Dashun is already the general trend, if you want to make peace, the only way out is to surrender the whole country, and the entire army will be collected and rectified by our Tang Army." If this method is carried out, then I, the king of Tang, will take pity on you and others and understand the current affairs, and will no longer force to fight with the heavens, so as to avoid the next fighting and fighting, and you can spare your lives, and your family and property can also be preserved. Only by acting in this way can we call the heart of our army. ”

Listening to Chen Zilong's words, Song Xian Cetong was like five thunderbolts, his mouth was wide open, and he looked like he could hardly believe his ears.

No, Tang Jun's appetite is so big, this, this is simply non-negotiable, to swallow the last bite of Dashun's rhythm.

Just when he was nervously thinking about how to refute it, Tang King Li Xiao put down the teacup and said leisurely: "Chen Zanhua is right, now that you are at the end of your rope, you are outnumbered, what other bargaining conditions can you have." You are about to collapse now, if you still don't know the current affairs so much, I am afraid that when the city of Xi'an is broken in the future, the jade will be burned, and the chickens and dogs will not be left, but you will regret it. ”

Song Xiance's face was pale, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and the pain in his heart was indescribable.

Grandma's, such peace negotiations are no different from surrendering on their knees! This, this is simply too deceitful!

Although he was extremely embarrassed in his heart, he could only force a smile on his face and said: "King Tang, although my Dashun is in danger, why should your army be so forced. In the next place, in fact, I am also prepared in my heart, but I don't know if Tang Wang is interested, listen to my future plan for Dashun? ”

Li Xiao glanced at him, "Oh? Song Shangshu can be blunt. ”

Song Xiance took a deep breath, and finally decided to put the hole cards together, he wiped the fine sweat on his face, and smiled at Li Xiao: "King Tang, now your army has won a success, and our army is indeed difficult to resist, so I Dashun decided that if the King of Tang insists on requesting, my Dashun can give up Shaanxi and Gansu to your army, so that your army will stop and no longer kill my Dashun." And the remnants of our Dashun troops and horses will attack the west with all their might, attacking the Yarkand Khanate outside the Najiayu Pass, so that after leaving China, they can establish a state and settle in the Western Regions. When the time comes, once my Dashun has a foothold in the Western Regions, I will make a wish to reconcile with the Chinese mainland, which is connected with flesh and blood, and trade with each other without swords, and my wish will be sufficient. ”

As soon as Song Xiance finished speaking, Li Xiao and Chen Zilong unconsciously glanced at each other again, and both of them saw a hidden smile in each other's eyes.

Hmph, the army is pressing, Dashun is about to collapse, they came up with such an idea in order to survive in death, but it is also well-intentioned, and it is even more indescribably sad and pitiful.

Chen Zilong stroked his palms and smiled, and said loudly: "Okay, it seems that Li Zicheng wants to learn from the big stone forest teeth of the Liao Dynasty and lead the remnants to the Western Regions to establish a country." They are in such a situation, but they don't know how King Tang decides? ”

As soon as Chen Zilong finished speaking, Song Xiance immediately raised his head and looked straight at Li Xiao, who was silent, his expression was sad, and his eyes were full of tears, almost dripping tears.

Li Xiao sighed slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, he stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Alas, Li Zicheng is a guy, if he can really stop the war and turn to attack the Western Regions, and surrender the land of Shaanxi and Gansu to our army, so as to avoid a sword fight, so that the people of Shaanxi and Gansu will not be ruined, it will also be a great achievement." Song Shangshu's words were sincere and his attitude was deferential, so how could our army ignore his situation and continue to advance endlessly. ”

As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, Song Xiance was already in ecstasy, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

At the same time, he shouted in his mouth: "King Tang is wise and benevolent, and it is really a blessing for all surnames!" I am up and down, all of them are grateful to Dade, and I can't repay them. In the next generation of my Emperor Dashun, I would like to thank King Tang again! ”

Li Xiao sneered, waved his hand, and replied: "If you go back this time, you can tell Li Zicheng that he will be limited to ten days alone, and all the land of Shaanxi and Gansu will be ceded, and his officials and soldiers, as well as the grain and grass, can all be driven to the area of Jiayuguan. In addition, when he attacked the Yarkand Khanate, if something went wrong, Lone would also give him help with affection, so that he could rest assured that he would go to attack. Of course, if he goes back on his word and does not match his words and deeds, then don't blame our army for being ruthless, and when he takes Xi'an in the future, he will definitely kill all the officials in Dashun, leaving no one behind! ”

After listening to Li Xiao's final statement, Song Xiance was only chattering on the surface, but under his heart was a big stone on the ground, and the joy in his heart was difficult to describe in words.

Okay, Li Xiaoguo is a smart person, he can not only get the land of Shaanxi and Gansu for nothing, but also borrow a knife to kill people, how could he not agree to such a condition.

What's more, Li Xiao also stated that when Dashun's attack on the Yarkand Khanate was not smooth, he could provide assistance, and such a promise was like a relief to Dashun.

"King Tang, thank you for your great grace! I will return to my emperor in the next place, and I will definitely give your army a satisfactory explanation! After Song Xiance finished speaking loudly, he kowtowed again.
