The hostage exchange was finally agreed, and he noticed that the tone was different from the unconditional return of the ultimatum to the exchange. This difference is that Dia Bird's strength is not good, and he can't change his words shamelessly? Or did he originally want to negotiate peace or not, but now he doesn't want to talk about peace or wants to talk about peace? Of course, he can only find the answer from clues, and these are all the situation on the enemy's side, and he can't decide for himself. But when he decided to exchange prisoners, he had to make a claim, and to his horror, these people were just trapped, so why had they already surrendered? But facts are facts, and these people have indeed surrendered to Eastern Xia......

How is this possible?

Although Jingkang has been lenient with the matter of being captured by the enemy over the years, he still cannot tolerate it, and these soldiers are not afraid of being punished after returning to China, and even implicating their families? Dia Bird is an unpredictable man, and this Taugan did not believe it at first, but now he gradually believes it. He wanted to change the person back, and asked the last one, how did Dia Bird do it. Zhang Tietou was escorted from the rear, and the weather was clear, and the fog of two or three days was swept away.

It was a good day.

In order to counter the Eastern Xia's inscriptions, Tao Kan asked the Shanggu people to show up and tell the story, emphasizing the hypocrisy of Dia Bird, and the past when the Shanggu people were sold to Gaoxian as cattle.

As soon as Zhang Tietou entered the camp gate, many Jingkang soldiers looked at him with hostility.

This Dongxia general went to do this back then...... According to those Shanggu people, Zhang Tietou was not a general in the Northern Plains at the beginning, and it was only after doing this that Dia Niao promoted him to an official. Originally, the hostility was deep, and it was enough to be imprisoned in the barracks, and he should not be allowed to appear in the barracks. But the exchange was scheduled for the next day, and Tao Kan also had the intention to launch a psychological war, so he ordered someone to take him to see Jingkang's army. The first is to let him see that Jingkang's army is not what it used to be, it has combat power, even if it is slightly weaker than Dongxia, but it can make up for it in numbers. The second is that after letting him see the text of the sky, in fact, the Jingkang army has not been affected much, and after putting him back, he can tell Sù Dia Bird not to do these things that do not work again. Even, he let his people observe Zhang Tietou from a close distance.

Zhang Tietou did not have the slightest frustration on his face. He looked at the barracks all the way with a scoundrel's contemptuous smile, and met a few Shanggu soldiers on the way who picked up clods of soil and threw them at him, but his face still did not change, and he smiled evilly and said: "Lao Tzu has been studying and cultivating his temperament for many years, giving you general knowledge?" ”

His companions drove them away, and he mocked Taukan, saying, "This dog herding family is usually not a good family." ”

In the evening, the companions went back to report to Taukan.

A large number of people gathered to discuss, and they all wondered, and muttered one by one: "Is it really because he followed the king of Dongxia early and was favored by their king, and he is not worried at all that he will be disposed of because he lost the Northern Plains after he goes back?" You see that Wang Zhenwei has refused to go back, saying that he has no face. He's good. ”

Tao Kan admired Zhang Tietou a little.

This shameless and skinless, losing the North Plains is the same as not having much of a big deal, how shameless it should be, but such a shameless person really seems to have read some books, and maintained his elegance and demeanor, the shame you imposed on him, he doesn't seem to care about it at all...... Tao Kan thought for a moment and asked, "Did he ask you?" It's also considered to be a contact with feelings. Aren't his families still in the North Plains? It is impossible for the family to return to Dongxia together, and he must always be a little jealous, and he will be a little afraid when he can speak in Diao's ear after he returns. ”

The person who accompanied him hurriedly said, "Then you won't mention it?" People said they didn't want to go back, we had good food here, and a little girl was serving, he slept two yesterday, and today he made a beautiful poem. ”

Tao Kan blurted out, "This is too shameless. Dia Bird is also a generation of heroes, with such a person as a general? Are you blind? ”

The subordinate next to him added: "The key is that Dia Bird's own little wife didn't open his mouth to ask for it, and he was the first to ask for him." ”

Ma Tianyou opened his mouth and commented: "The king of Dongxia attaches great importance to feelings, old brother for many years." ”

As soon as he said it, he felt that his words were wrong, and quickly stopped...... found that no one cared, so he coughed twice and vaguely passed.

But his request has not been told to everyone in public?

Taukan asked, "What did he ask?" ”

The person who accompanied Zhang Tietou said: "He asked us to take a picture for him, which is the tiger eating peonies...... No, the marshal has orders, and we quickly fetched it for him from the Northern Plains, and it is estimated that it should be given to him. ”

As he spoke, a horse neighed outside the tent.

Immediately after that, a person came in, and the voice of the outside announcement was later than he broke in, and said, "Someone from Lulongguan is asking to see you." ”

When someone came in, he squatted down on the ground and said loudly, "Great handsome." Oh no. ”

Tao Kan stood up abruptly and asked, "Zhao Guo came in again to walk the horse?" ”

The visitor raised his head and said with fear, "Gao Xianren has sent troops." Huangxi is all high soldiers......" Tao Kan interrupted with luck: "They are taking the opportunity to loot Huangxi." ”

"We thought it was, but it wasn't. It was invited by Dongxia, and many of them were stationed in Lulongguan, and the marshal had already made a decision, otherwise we would have no soldiers along the way. ”

Taukan stood dumbfounded.

Diao's recent subtle changes in diplomatic rhetoric immediately came to mind.

He let out a groan of regret from his throat and exclaimed, "I see. I see. This is a kind of grievance that he can't vent, and he feels that he has difficulty breathing, and his whole chest is swollen. How could he borrow troops from Gao Xian? How could Gao Xian lend him soldiers?

Compared with Jingkang, Dongxia threatened Gao Xian's life and death.

The two families have been friends again and again over the years, Dia Niao invited Gao Xian to send troops, gave Gao Xian a passage to trade south, and even helped with disaster relief, but they are neighbors, they are of the same origin, they may eat the other family at any time, you Gao Xian is too stupid, you come up so many soldiers to help him and Jingkang desperately, as soon as he turns around, he Dia Niao finished fighting Mobei, hundreds of thousands of troops returned, and they took advantage of our defeat to destroy you.

One of Taukan's hands unconsciously rested on his heart, and he felt that he could not accept it. He yelled, "Go check." Look at what conditions Dongxia gave them, what they can give, we can give more, and send messengers to persuade them to go back to me. These blind bastards ......"

How can Gao Xianren do this?

He looked at the stupid generals, didn't the generals think the same way?

Finally, someone gritted his teeth and said: "Marshal, persuading Gao Xianren to return is a one-handed preparation, what if you can't persuade you to go back?" Who knows how he Dia Bird bewitched the slut of Gao Xian? There was already an adulterous affair between the two of them. There are no soldiers in front of Diao, so we should take the opportunity to fight him. ”

yes.

Why didn't you attack with all your might?

No matter how good the king of Dongxia is, when he can't change his army, he will crush him with the army.

Now divide the troops into two ways? Then go to guard against the direction of Lulong Pass?

Someone mentioned again: "I have promised them to exchange prisoners tomorrow, so it is better to take the opportunity to cover up the past." ”

Taukan agreed.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said: "If that's the case, let's fight to the death with Dia Bird first, and if we defeat him, we will naturally increase the bargaining chips to persuade Gao Xian's troops back." ”

Everyone gasped, the tent was silent, and the atmosphere was depressing.

In the end, Tao Kan broke the silence and said: "I am busy with military affairs, but I can't spare time to meet him privately, so it is better to go and see it tonight." ”

As soon as he left, the generals became much more at ease, and they said everything in the big tent, and some people called back the herald who reported the news, and asked him again.

Tao Kan soon came to the big tent where Zhang Tietou was imprisoned, Zhang Tietou not only asked for his paintings, but also asked for a huqin, playing out of tune, followed by humming and chirping, which could be heard from afar.

As soon as he entered, he saw that there was food and wine in front of him, and immediately changed his smile and said, "I'm still used to living there." ”

Zhang Tietou put down the huqin, stretched his neck to eat the bright red beef, and said with green tendons on his neck: "There is wine and meat, why is there no beauty?" After I go back, I have the king in charge, the people in the government are watching, and the subordinates are watching, and only you are here, I have spent the most comfortable days, do you really not plan to keep me for a few more days? I can tell you that letting me go back is not a good decision. ”

"So what? If you don't put it back, can you keep fighting? The intention of the imperial court is to recover the Northern Plains, not to destroy your Eastern Xia. And the first condition of your king's truce is to let you go back. ”

Zhang Tietou swallowed the beef and said, "I can't extinguish it." Lao Tzu was careless for a while, and fell for the villain's trick. What a pity. How many soldiers and civilians died...... You said that Lao Tzu wanted to go back, how could you have the face to see them. Keep me. Oh. I manage it every day, and I really don't want to go. I don't want to die. ”

Tao Kan smiled: "If you don't leave, won't we be very embarrassed?" ”

Zhang Tietou thought for a while and said, "This is also." I can't make it difficult for you, can you? ”

Taukan nodded. He suddenly found that Zhang Tietou put down the food, held up a painting to see, and hurriedly stretched out his head over, the painting was a white-fronted insect, gathered in front of a pinch of peonies, it seemed to have a deep meaning, and was about to help ponder, Zhang Tietou took it and sighed: "Do you listen to Lao Tzu?" In fact, Lao Tzu also looks down on you. Don't say any hypocritical words, let me go back or don't let me go back, I will tell us the king when I should say it, I will say it to our king, do you want to make peace? Bai Zhanbei Plain, killed so many of us, and now I want to make peace, it's a bit of a dream......"

Tao Kan looked at the past in surprise, it was better not to look at it, and when he looked at the past, it was a splash of wine and a face full of water.

Tao Kan saw him alone, for fear that he would seize the weapon, so he pulled out first, and shouted: "You are looking for death? ”

Zhang Tietou looked sad, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked him: "Looking for death." Do you dare to kill? ”

Can't.

Angry and angry, Taukan wiped his drink, turned around and walked out.

Zhang Tietou laughed loudly.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Zhang Tietou shouted inside: "Your military heart is shaking, make use of some Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains, believe it or not, Lao Tzu broke it for you?" ”

As soon as the morning dawns, the troops must be arranged, and whether they can cover up the killing depends on whether there are fighters, but to exchange prisoners, the soldiers must be placed, and Tao Kan has no time to meet him in general, so he will make arrangements when he goes back.

Three more fires.

Four more meals.

On the fifth watch, the army has been drawn out, and all the good terrain that can be occupied will be occupied.

As soon as the day dawned, the sky was full of Jingkang's green dragon banner. The sun in the east floated up and drew a semicircle in the eastern sky, shining with a red light.

Tao Kan stared at the opposite side, until a riding line appeared on the horizon, then he breathed a sigh of relief, Dongxia's soldiers and horses also came up more and more, the sound of bull horns, suddenly a cavalry galloped quickly, came to Tao Kan, and said loudly: "Thank you Tao Gong for the order, give us thousands of prisoners, let us exchange our own people to go home." ”

The cavalryman laughed in front of the battle.

Taukan had a sense of foreboding.

Could it be that these thousands of captives have nothing to do with themselves?

But Dongxia had already gone first, and released many generals back, and this general seemed to be unsuspecting. Tao Kan's heart is in turmoil, and the person has already arrived.

When he arrived, Tao Kan said angrily, "Take them all." Even if a pig is cowered in a pen, it should not be caught overnight. ”

Several generals looked at each other.

Finally, someone shouted, "Dashuai." You gave the order. You gave the order. You're going to trade us back. What does the agreement you reached with Dongxia have anything to do with us? ”

Tao Kan was stunned.

What's going on?

He recalled again and again, yelling, "Idiot. The Tangut people didn't take you prisoner. You are staying in the camp, why are you so obedient and come out to change generals? ”

The people around Tao Kan didn't know what was going on, so You urged Tao Kan: "Shouldn't you give Zhang Tietou to them?" ”

Several generals on the opposite side said, "They sent someone to pick them up." ”

Taukan was speechless.

He didn't even know whether he should expose it to everyone, this foggy day, surrounded by Dongxia's men and horses, Dongxia didn't attack at all, just pretended to shout, pretended to fight all night, and sent someone up the next day to exchange prisoners, handed over a letter, he didn't know, after he settled down, he sent someone to fly back, Dongxia used this thing to scold the Jingkang soldiers inside, I don't know if they surrendered at that time, or are they still there, change the general to shout out, change the army to call out the soldiers. If there was still a Zài in the Jingkang army before, the generals were called out to change generals, and now the soldiers are all disarmed.

Taukan turned to look at his men who had run to investigate.

The subordinate didn't know what was going on, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, so they just stared at it.

Turning a corner, Dongxia created some illusion and deceived him when he led people to investigate.

At this time, will you change the general?

Do you want to release Zhang Tietou.

On the other side, Dia Bird was teaching the Ta Ta Er Tiger next to him and asked him, "Do you see how Abba fights?" War...... Not only the flesh, but also all kinds of use, the enemy's psychology, the enemy's flaws, is to rely on deception. ”

Da Da Erhu said, "Erchen knows." ”

Diaobird asked him, "Are you still angry with Abba?" ”

The tiger shook her head.

Dia Bird demanded: "Then bring someone and pick up your iron-headed uncle back, I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed, so you can go over for Abba, and persuade him by the way, don't reveal your identity, lest you be caught by others." ”

Ta Ta Erhu asked him, "Then Abba, how can I persuade him?" ”

Dia Bird said, "The coming day is long. Shame and courage. ”

Ta Ta Erhu said stiffly: "But he lost the North Plains, and Abba is not even willing to admonish a few words." ”

Dia Bird sneered, "He's sadder than you. ”

Da Da Erhu nodded, waved his hand, and led a dozen horses up quickly.

When they reached the opposite side, Taukan was in pain in his abdomen, and he was already lying on the back of his horse, almost falling, and the people around him came to help him...... I forgot to ask him if he wanted to change generals. Ta Da Erhu brought people up, which was equivalent to a reminder, Tao Kan had sweat the size of soybeans dripping on his forehead, gritted his teeth and agreed: "Change." Discourage them. Give them an exchange, and when the brigade of prisoners of war is exchanged, cover up for me. ”

Zhang Tietou rode a horse out of the battle and walked towards the Da Da Erhu.

Da Da Erhu was about to tell him Abba's words, Zhang Tietou smiled at him, his eyes seemed to contain some tears. Zhang Tietou said: "Ah Hu? Why did your father ask you to pick me up? Is he afraid that I will be ashamed? He nodded and said, "You wait for me." I have been entertained by General Montaucan these days, and I will go and thank you, and it will not be too late to leave. Da Da Erhu was about to stop it, Zhang Tietou took out a painting and unfolded it for Da Da Erhu to see.

Oh, so he doesn't look forward to the demeanor of a general.

Ta Da Er Hu sighed.

Among Abba's old brothers, only Zhang Tietou doesn't admire it, this guy is too scoundrel and doesn't have the advantages he values, but Abba likes him.

Zhang Tietou asked for a sword and went to the rising sun.

Tao Kan had just been picked up, and Zhang Tietou had arrived.

Zhang Tietou stood in front of him and shouted loudly, "Taokan." Lao Tzu looks down on you, so Lao Tzu has a defeat, you look down on Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu still has to be grateful to you for giving me a chance, and he didn't kill me immediately. Of course, you don't dare. You don't look good, pay more attention to your body, don't die too soon. I'm going to thank you for not going out to kill my army these days. ”

After saying that, he turned around and galloped away, sweeping through Jingkang's army.

Tao Kan only cared about the pain, and wanted to stop it, but the people around him said, "What a villain, scoundrel." What is he going to do? He's going to us off...... He was free. He wants all of us to know. He wants people to know that we can't help him, that he shows off. “

Taukan stared at him.

In fact, he also thinks so, what is he worried about? He was worried that the soldiers would not be able to bear it and beat the scoundrel to death in front of the battle.

Zhang Tietou walked with a spring breeze on his face.

Sometimes squinting at Jingkang's army, sometimes looking forward to see the road, he shouted: "I'm afraid you don't know." I, Zhang Tietou, am a native of Dengzhou, not a Hu from outside the Saiwai...... Today, I recount my life in front of you, and I want to tell you that our Dongxia is not what you imagined, not the country of the Hu people, although there are many ethnic groups in the country, but we use Yongwen, we advocate etiquette, and treat everyone as equal......"

Not all soldiers are Uegu soldiers.

The soldiers did not know what he was going to do, so he asked, "I have heard that your most elite army is made up of the people of the Upper Valley, and I will go and see what they are like." ”

found the camp of the Shanggu soldiers, as if he had found a home, he came, stopped, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu is Zhang Tietou, I want to clarify one thing for you." Some people say that they have to pay it back, and what they owe it always has to be repaid, and today I am here to tell you those facts that you don't know or don't want to believe, but I will pay you back what I owe you...... lest you remain in the dark, not knowing who is the perpetrator of the death of your relatives. ”
