Chapter 281: Hostage Exchange
Chapter 281: Hostage Exchange
Eight thousand people said that it was not much, and it was not much that it was less. If all placed in a narrow valley, it can also give a feeling of endlessness. Seeing the columns of Tang Min passing in front of him, Li Huaitang was a little anxious, at this rate, I am afraid that it will take until night to receive more than 8,000 people. With the Tubo princess in hand, time is not a problem, before letting go of the Tubo princess, the Tubo people will not dare to act rashly. Thinking of the trump card in his hand, Li Huaitang instinctively glanced at Zhuoma beside him.
"Humph! Li Huaitang, I said, you will regret it! ”
Li Huaitang's eyes were full of hatred, if Zhuoma's resentful gaze was replaced by arrows, Li Huaitang had no doubt that he would be pierced by ten thousand arrows.
Li Huaitang smiled, he didn't care about Zhuoma's threats. Although he knew that during the exchange, the Tibetan princess had been staring at him, eager to break him into pieces. But he didn't think that he would have anything to do with this Tubo princess in the future, there were so many people who wanted him to regret it, from south to north, from east to west, he couldn't count them, and to deal with such people, Li Huaitang knew that he only needed to cut through with a scimitar. He didn't pay attention to the Tuqi Sulu Khan, the Great Diet Caliph, and the Tubo Zanpu, not to mention a Tubo princess who had no soldiers and no power.
"Quick, give them a little motivation and get them over!"
Li Huaitang viciously gave orders to his soldiers to use their war knives to help the slow Tang Min increase their speed.
"General, let me come!"
Lu Shangqing saw the doorway. Obviously, the Tubo people did not tell these Tang people where to take them and what to do, and the Tang people all looked sincerely afraid and trembling, their expressions were not only confused or confused, just like a large group of thoughtless sheep who followed the brigade, they had to get by and walked, and they were indifferent to what fate was arranged. To deal with such a person, in addition to the threat of force, there is a more effective way, as a person who has come over, Lu Shangqing's heart is like a mirror, he cleared his throat and said loudly:
"I am Lu Shangqing, a native of Guazhou, the Tang Dynasty, and like you, I was once forced to be a slave of the Tubo people. It was this General Ning Yuan who rescued me, took the Tibetan princess hostage, and demanded that the Tibetan people release you. Today is the day you will be free, just cross this line,"
Lu Shangqing threw a war knife to the ground, pointed and continued to sensationalize: "Cross this line, you are free bodies." Hurry, brothers of the Tang Dynasty, speed up, speed up, there is good wine and meat in front of you to entertain you. ”
"Tang people!" "It's a Tang person!" ……
The Tang people who were exchanged were pleasantly surprised to find that it was the Tang people who received them.
"Are we free?" Someone couldn't help but ask weakly.
"Yes, it's free, we'll take you home, and if you want to go home, speed up your pace for me, otherwise the Tubo people will catch up, and we won't dare to guarantee it."
Demagogic hope is mixed with threat, and this is the most effective way to awaken the "flock".
Li Huaitang was surprised to find that thousands of Tang people were in a commotion, and then their faces were completely new, no need for war knives, no need to urge, they were like chicken blood, striding towards the road ahead, and those who were reluctant were also dragged forward, and their speed suddenly increased.
Among these Tang people, Li Huaitang discovered an abnormality, and he had to admire the calculations of the Tubo people. Tang Min, who exchanged with the princess, was all strong men, and at first glance, he was overjoyed, if it weren't for Lu Shangqing's reminder, he would almost get carried away. The Tubo people will not be so kind, Lu Shangqing guessed correctly, there must be something greasy among them.
Lu Shangqing's words easily solved the problem of time. Before nightfall, Li Huaitang received more than 8,000 Tang people, and according to the agreement, he should release the Tubo princess and the Mo Luosang, but Li Huaitang did not, and he shamelessly laughed at the angry scolding and threats of the Tubo people.
The candle dragon was furious: "Thief, I am inseparable from you!" After expressing his anger, he turned back to Zhuoma, hugged his fists and said, "Princess, offended!" Zampu has an order, and it is better to be broken than to be complete. I'll swear to kill all the horse bandits and bury you with you! ”
Thousands of Tibetan cavalry pressed up, iron hooves were lined up, and scimitars flashed cold.
Li Huaitang was very calm, pointing to the candle dragon mangbu branch and said, "What are you excited about?" Did I say I wouldn't let your princess go? I think you want to put the princess to death, oh, I know, it must be your pigtail that has fallen in love with the beautiful princess, and you don't want the princess to marry the bad old man of Tuqishi, so what kind of jade is broken, not complete, right? ”
"You, you, you bloody mouth!" Candle Dragon Mangbu was confused, and he couldn't wait to eat Li Huaitang raw.
"Eh, let me be right, don't you want to kill people?"
Li Huaitang continued to joke, and the scimitar in his hand shook in front of Mo Luosang's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally. Mo Luosang, the best of the Tubo Junjie, suddenly realized, and hurriedly followed Li Huaitang's meaning and said: "Candle Dragon Mangbuzhi, do you want to rebel?" The princess is extremely noble, it's useless if you like it, I want to die of this heart as soon as possible, I advise you to restrain yourself from the precipice so as not to make a big mistake and regret it too late. ”
Mo Luosang didn't know that Li Huaitang was opening the river in Shunkou, but his situation was not good, if the two sides fought, he would be the first to bear it, and there would be no way to live, and he couldn't care about the truth anymore, so he first put a big hat on the candle dragon mangbu branch, and bluffed him to save his life.
"Warriors of Great Tibet, don't fall for the evil of the Candle Dragon Mangbu Branch, and ruin the interests of Tibet for his own selfishness. Whoever dares to take another step forward is the sinner who forced the princess to death, and Zampu will definitely not let him go! ”
At the end of the year, Luosang was righteous and stern, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"You!"
Candle Dragon recklessly spread the knot, I didn't expect Mo Luosang to be so greedy for life and afraid of death, and I didn't expect him to be so vicious, all the dirty water was poured on him, making the soldiers who didn't know right and wrong convulsive.
Candle Dragon Mangbu Zhi is a veteran of the battlefield for many years, what wind and rain have you never seen? Li Huaitang's strategy of delaying the army could not escape his eyes, in fact, he was not afraid of the opponent delaying time at all, as long as Dazaru Gong, as a surprise soldier, borrowed troops to block the opponent's retreat, the opponent would become a turtle in the urn, and it would be difficult to escape. And his threat just now is nothing more than to put pressure on the opponent to enter a more tense state in order to cooperate with his second surprise team.
"It's okay to release the princess, you and my army will retreat five hundred steps, and you and I will each hand over here."
The bowstring has been in a taut state and will only break in the end, Li Huaitang did not intend to break the bowstring of the Tubo people, and it was reasonable to delay the time in moderation. It is reasonable for the main forces of both sides to retreat from each other to release the princess, and no one can guarantee whether anyone will be nervous and trigger the fighter during the release process, so that the princess will lose her life and be in chaos.
