"Iron Blade General, my Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Xian Yu Dashuai's letter has already expressed his attitude, I believe that you are only deceived by Ge Luofeng's bewitchment, not insisting on being the enemy of my Datang, so the letter only asks you to immediately withdraw from the boundaries of my Datang, and do nothing else, and remain neutral. I, Datang, only want to punish the small Nanzhao country for treachery, and I have no intention of annexation. I ask the general to report this to your country and reconsider this move to raise troops. That's all, I hope to think twice and don't act impulsively. Wang Yuan stood up and said loudly.

Iron Blade Sinoro frowned, his eyes kept turning, and he suddenly got up and laughed: "Envoy Wang, don't you want me to withdraw from the army after talking about it for so long?" Do you think this is possible? My army came with a lot of labor, a lot of grain and grass were eaten, and thousands of horses and camels were lost. Your calculations are a little too easy. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Do you want to rip off the bamboo?" Your losses are your own findings, and they have nothing to do with my Datang. Datang will not make up for your losses. We just asked the Iron Blade General to pass on a message, and asked the general to immediately send someone to report our position to your country's Zampu, and you can't do such a major military event. ”

Iron Blade Sinoro said angrily, "Bold, can't I be the master? Believe it or not, I will immediately wave my army to capture Wangzhou, and I will not leave any armor for you? ”

Wang Yuan said coldly: "Anyone can say big things, but it's another thing to do it." The Iron Blade General knew that this was a quagmire but insisted on drilling into it, and I couldn't help it. Let's just say you're playing with fire. ”

Ironblade Sinoro shouted: "Sharp teeth, you Tang Dynasty are all good at sophistry, I don't listen to you." You have been talking for a long time, but you are just afraid that our army will capture Netzhou. General Ben knows that your main force is pinned down in Quzhou, and once General Ben gives the order, Netzhou can be broken overnight, and Chengdu can be smashed directly. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "If you want to talk like this, I have nothing to talk to you about." You may be reckless and ignorant, but I believe that you have people who are discerning. I heard that the prime minister of your country, Yi Xiang Yele, brought a golden crown and brocade robe, a golden treasure belt and a camel horse to visit Ge Luofeng, and made a brotherly alliance with Ge Luofeng. I know that the Prime Minister Yixiang Yele is in this army, and I have rarely asked the Grand Marshal to see the Prime Minister Yixiang Yele, not to discuss with you. Please ask the iron blade Jiang Juan to ask the prime minister to come out and speak, I can't make sense with you. ”

Iron Blade Sinoro said angrily: "You are humiliating me in person, come here, cut off the heads of these two Tang dogs, and send people to throw them in the city of Wangzhou." ”

Several generals on the left and right shouted forward, scimitars were unsheathed one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gongsun Lan stretched out his hand and stroked his waist, Wang Yuan hurriedly stopped with his eyes, and said with a smile: "The two of us didn't plan to go back alive when we came, everything that should be said has already been said, killing the two of us is equivalent to officially declaring war on my Datang, and it will be neat." But before I die, I want to give a word of advice to General Iron Blade, you can't afford this responsibility, my head will fall to the ground today, and your head will fall to the ground tomorrow. Do you think Netzhou is at your fingertips? Let me tell you, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Longyou are galloping for reinforcements, and they will arrive in Wangzhou tonight. Do you think you can take Netzhou in half a day? Once the 30,000 reinforcements arrive, you won't be able to withdraw in time. I didn't want to turn the relationship between the two countries into full-scale hostility because of the small country of Nanzhao, so I ordered the two of us to come as an envoy. Kill me, I'm afraid you won't be able to turn back. ”

Enraged, Iron Blade shouted, "Push them out of the tent and cut them down." ”

As soon as the generals swarmed up, they were going to make a move on Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan, Gongsun Lan was already on full alert, but when he saw Wang Yuan smiling, he looked like he didn't care at all, he was anxious, secretly thinking that Wang Yuan didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was calculating, once the other party's hand was wet, he would not pay attention to Wang Yuan's previous advice and act immediately, even if he couldn't get out safely, he couldn't sit still.

However, a deep voice sounded behind the tent, and the curtain on the side curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a middle-aged Tibetan man in a wide brown Tibetan robe walked out slowly. The generals immediately stopped, and the iron-bladed Sinoro also stood up.

"See the Prime Minister." The iron-bladed Sinoro and the generals bowed with their arms crossed over their chests.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man snorted, walked straight to the middle of the big tent, and stood in front of Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan. A pair of brown eyes looked up and down at Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan.

"Prime Minister, you should have heard it, these two Tang envoys are full of rhetoric, intending to trick us and others into retreating, and they are also contemptuous of our words, and they are going to cut off their heads and give the Tang people a warning." Ironblade Sinoro whispered in the man's ear.

The middle-aged man was indifferent to his words, and only looked at Wang Yuan and said, "How do you know that I am in the army?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Are you the Prime Minister of Tubo Yixiang Yele?" I was courteous under it. ”

Yi Xiangye said: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Wang Yuan said: "What's so difficult about this? Although Yaozhou City has fallen, there are many people in Yaozhou City who are inclined to my Datang. When the prime minister arrived in Yaozhou more than ten years ago to join the alliance with Ge Luofeng, the news had already reached my ears and was rarely in the ears of the handsome. The prime minister left Yaozhou and did not return to some cities, but went to Huichuan to join the army of General Iron Blade, that is because of such a major event as the use of troops in my Tang Dynasty, how can your country Zampu rest assured that a reckless man like General Iron Blade is independent and arbitrary, it must be that the prime minister can lead everything with the army in order to feel at ease. ”

Ironblade Sinoro glared at Wang Yuan angrily, and was very unhappy that Wang Yuan called himself a reckless man.

Yi Xiang Ye Le smiled and said, "Sure enough, I know that I can't hide everything from you." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I'm here to do such a thing, how can your prime minister not show up?" In fact, I have long guessed that the Prime Minister Dingyin listened to the whole conversation in the dark. ”

Yi Xiang Ye Le nodded and said, "Yes, I did hear what you just said in the whole way. I have to say that what you said is very deceptive, and the Iron Blade General is afraid that he was confused by you just now. I could refute all of your words, but I don't want to do that because I don't think it's necessary. I just want to say one thing, you Datang have always been aggressive, when did you take the initiative to send an envoy to reason with the other party? At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, you have never spoken by force, and you have no habit of respecting your opponents at all, and you have never respected me so much, which can only show one thing: you are empty-hearted. You are worried that you will not be able to deal with two enemies at the same time, and you are afraid that my Great Tubo Kingdom will cooperate with Nanzhao to fight against you, right? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "It's not a loss, it's a great prime minister, it's indeed a wise man, a hundred times stronger than this iron-bladed general." ”

Ironblade Sinoro scolded angrily: "Looking for death? ”

Yixiang Yele smiled and said: "General Iron Blade is the hero of my Great Tubo Country, he is a hundred times stronger than me in terms of fighting, he is an eagle on the plateau." ”

Ironblade Sinoro received this compliment, and smiled from ear to ear, and his mouth continued to be humble.

Wang Yuan said: "I don't deny that we are at a disadvantage for the time being against your two coalition forces with the Jiannan Army, but this is temporary, does the Prime Minister think that I, the Tang Dynasty, will let you occupy the land of Xichuan and sit idly by?" In fact, as soon as Longyou's troops and horses arrive, we will turn the situation around, and the results will speak for themselves. ”

Yi Xiang Ye Le smiled and said: "Of course I understand that the Tang Dynasty is a hundred times stronger than us in terms of strength, but we don't have the idea of fighting you to the end." You said that Luo Feng of Nanzhao Guoge tricked us into wading into troubled waters, it is better to say that we took the initiative to wade into troubled waters. Ge Luofeng promised to give Yaozhou to me Tubo, you know how important the place under the jurisdiction of Yaozhou is to my great Tubo country, in fact, the reason why we did not attack Wangzhou immediately is not because we are afraid of the huge loss of the first siege, but because we did not want to attack the city at all. We just want to make an appearance, give Ge Luofeng courage, and let his soldiers and horses storm it. Of course, we will not sit idly by, we will help them. ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, these two allies calculated each other, and each had a ghost to what extent. Ge Luofeng had actually promised to give Yaozhou as a gift to Tubo, no wonder Tubo would be so active. Yaozhou is an extremely important feudal mansion set up by the Tang Dynasty in the southwest depth, and it is a sharp knife inserted between Nanzhao and Tubo. Of course, troops will be sent to cheer for Ge Luofeng.

"However, then again, what you just said is not completely unreasonable, we don't want to fight Datang in an all-out battle, but we are not afraid to fight you when necessary. What's more, after the Nanzhao State promised to conquer Wangzhou, it would cede Yaozhou to us. For the sake of Yaozhou, my noble Tubo Zanpu is willing to take risks. ”

Wang Yuan understood, what the prime minister meant was that it was impossible for the soldiers to retreat, and it was inevitable to be the enemy of your Datang, and the fanciful things you said were useless, just a waste of effort. Wang Yuan had to admit that these barbarians in his eyes were not easy to fool.

"If there is a way to get what you want without being angry with Datang, will you agree to withdraw from the army?" Wang Yuandao.

"Is there a good way to do this?" Yi Xiang Ye Le smiled.

"Of course there is, you withdraw your troops, and we will hand over Yaozhou to you after we recover it. Or you withdraw your troops and directly occupy Yaozhou. ”

"Hahaha, you're a funny little envoy, when we're three-year-olds? Will you be willing to give us Yaozhou? And let us directly withdraw our troops to occupy Yaozhou, is this to trick us into going to war with Nanzhao? You're bad, so bad. ”

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said: "The psychology of the prime minister is too dark, we have a saying in Datang, what you see in your heart, the prime minister has too many twists and turns in his heart, but he has misunderstood our sincerity." ”

"You don't have to go around the bend and curse people, I know you Tang people very well, if you don't have any actual conditions, please go back and tell the people in the city of Wangzhou that the big war is imminent, and it is inevitable. You don't need to say anything about the reinforcements of 30,000 soldiers and horses in Longyou, they are more than a thousand miles away, and they came for nothing. "Yi Xiangye is happy to be happy.

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "How can you believe that we will cede Yaozhou to you?" ”

Yi Xiang Ye said: "Unless Xian Yu Zhongtong assures me in person, write down the secret agreement in black and white." I know that your court will definitely not allow it, but as long as your Jiannan Jiedu soldiers and horses can't capture Yaozhou, your court will be helpless. ”

Wang Yuan said: "You can't get the guarantee of the handsome, but you can get the guarantee of the new deputy marshal Wang Yuan, I don't know if it works?" ”

Yi Xiang Ye Le said: "Wang Yuan? That Wang Yuan, who had just led his troops to relieve the siege in Quzhou? The new deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu? ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, he will soon take over from Xian Yu's envoy." His words should work. ”

Yi Xiangye said: "If I can get his personal approval and make a secret agreement in black and white, I will naturally believe it." If I can not be the enemy of Datang, and we can get what we want, of course I am willing to do such a thing. It's just that this person may not be willing to carry this black cauldron, you must know that if this matter is known to outsiders, he will lose his head. ”

Wang Yuan said quietly: "I guarantee that you can get his promise in black and white, and you can get it right away, because ...... I am Wang Yuan, and I have this black cauldron on my back. ”
