Chapter 7: Above the City Gate

"How's it going out there?" Jing Zetian asked Xiao Jun.

"Your Highness, the army of Uskhan is already preparing outside the city to be continued, and the last general has checked it, and there are indeed 100,000 troops." Xiao Jun said solemnly.

"Li Shangshu, let's go to the city tower to take a look at the situation first, shall we?" Jing Zetian asked, he had to take a look first, he had to know the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but be scared after seeing the army for a while, after all, the immersive feeling was different from watching it on TV.

"That's fine, let's go, the old minister will come with His Highness." Li Yuanshang replied.

After that, the group went up the ladder to the city tower, the five-zhang high city tower, after going up, Li Yuanshang, who was a handful of years, was also a little unbearable, Jing Zetian was fine, he was young and didn't know how to be tired.

Because it is the city gate of the national capital, the construction of the city tower is very tight, there is a distance of about two zhang wide above the city tower, enough for the sergeant gate to move, the archers are preparing to attack, once the other party has any wind and grass, they can attack in time, catapults and crossbow arrows are also ready, and the momentum of the saber rattling also makes Jing Zetian feel a little nervous in his heart.

Jing Zetian walked quickly to the edge of the city tower, his thin body stood on tiptoe and leaned on the window to look down. The following is densely packed with enemies, Jing Zetian can't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, if so many people are desperate to make trouble in Dahua, the consequences are unimaginable, it seems that after the end of this negotiation and discussion, the father and emperor will make an example of the family. Jing Zetian thought in his heart.

"Hey, since ancient times, foreign races have never been so easy to kill in my pass, if it weren't for those families who eat inside and out, I Dahua wouldn't be like this." Li Yuanshang saw the scene outside the city, and at this moment he was angry and directly pointed out, it seems that Li Yuanshang is not from the family, you must know that there are many people from the family in the current court, and in the local area, this is more, which is why Wusi Khan was able to enter so easily.

"Hmph, under the wisdom of my father, these families will definitely be cleaned." Jing Zetian cheered up.

"Yes, we should have confidence, let's start negotiating now." Li Yuanshang did not strike at Jing Zetian, the problem of the family is not something that can be solved in one day, otherwise it would not stay today.

Just as the two were talking, Luo Yifeng, the director of the Department of Soldiers and Horses, walked quickly towards the two of them, hugged his fists and said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince, who was patrolling the city defense just now, and failed to greet the two in time. "The director of the Terracotta Department belongs to the four grades and five officials, and is in charge of the defense of the capital.

"Well, the general doesn't have to be polite, there are still a lot of generals in the defense of the capital, and the time is almost up, Li Shangshu, let's start." Jing Zetian said calmly. After this time, Jing Zetian has calmed down the nervous mood just now, anyway, he has already come, and he will face it calmly.

Luo Yifeng saw that Jing Zetian was so steady at a young age, and couldn't help but glance at it, the prince was really extraordinary.

"Well, General Luo, then I'll go down later, and you can open the city gate." Li Shangshu continued.

"Well, the last general will obey." Luo Yifeng lowered his head and clenched his fists and replied. Today is a special situation, the main person in charge of this negotiation is Li Yuanshang, so Luo Yifeng obeyed his arrangement this time, and on weekdays, Wenchen and military generals cannot directly order and execute.

The sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak" sounded, the heavy city gate was slowly opened by seven or eight sergeants, and Jing Zetian and the three thousand guards behind them rode out of the city in an orderly manner.

The Khan of Us, who was a mile away from the city gate, saw that someone had come out of the city gate, so he rode his horse and walked over, followed by hundreds of cavalry, who were holding hundreds of poorly dressed Dahua people, and in the early spring weather, the people were shivering with cold.

Uzkhan was dressed in a white robe, with a purple mink hat on his head, huge earrings on his ears, and various animal bones hanging on his body, which looked very strange.

"Hmph, Uskhan Khan, what do you mean by this, why are you detaining my Dahua people." Li Yuanshang asked angrily, feeling something bad in his heart at the moment.

"Haha, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Uskhan asked with a laugh, but did not answer.

"In the lower rite department, Shangshu Li Yuanshang, this is my sixth prince of Dahua, Jing Zetian." Li Yuanshang, out of etiquette and considerations, did not continue to ask, but the hands holding the reins were indeed more forceful.

"Oh? I didn't expect your prince to be a little doll? Uskhan asked suspiciously, the ideal in his heart was to let Emperor Dahua come out to negotiate peace, but this can only be thought about, so he asked the prince to come. But Dahua replied to the prince that he had not returned to quell the rebellion, and let them wait for the prince to come back before negotiating, but Uskhan was not a fool, and when the prince came back, then Dahua would have his hands free, and it would be a problem for them to go back at that time, and in the pass, the power of the cavalry was not as good as that on the grassland.

"You don't have to worry about this, I am the sixth prince of Dahua, Jing Zetian, don't talk nonsense, let's start negotiating, and end this peace matter as soon as possible." Jing Zetian said directly, at this moment, every time a delay is made, there will be a trace of variables.

"Hehe, what's the hurry, I'm not afraid of the army in your Dahua, look at the sergeants behind you, negotiate with so many people, are you Dahua so afraid of me waiting, hahaha" Uskhan laughed. The cavalry behind him laughed.

"You aliens, you have never believed in your words, if you really believe in your words, then my Han people would have been wiped out by you and others!" Wang Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites behind Li Yuanshang, rebuked angrily. Wang Zhi was in his thirties, and he couldn't stand what the alien race was doing, and reprimanded angrily.

"Hehe, so what, fists are the truth, my people on the grassland, only obey the strong, as long as you are stronger than me, I will listen to you honestly, but if I am stronger than you, then you will let me slaughter" Uskhan said magnificently. Now the combat effectiveness of the Youth League is indeed stronger than that of Dahua, mainly because their cavalry is too powerful, and even if they can fight a frontal battle, they will not be able to break the opponent's muscles and bones, but it is impossible for them to completely capture Dahua. At this time, Jing Zetian also had a trace of helplessness, and hated the family even more in his heart, they were all Han people, why did he want to lure the wolf into the room.

"Hmph, don't say anything more useless, hurry up and negotiate peace!" Li Yuanshang didn't want to continue to dwell on this kind of topic.

"Yo? Which of you is the mastermind this time, is it possible that you, the official in Dahua, are more powerful than your princes, if this is so respectful and inferior in our grassland, it would have been boiled in the pot a long time ago. Uskhan quipped.

"Hmph, don't sow discord here, Li Shangshu is loyal to my Dahua and has outstanding ability, I am a junior, I should listen to his opinions on this kind of national affairs, how can I be like you aliens, and I can't be educated." Jing Zetian also retorted.

When Li Yuanshang and the Ministry of Rites and others heard Jing Zetian's words, they couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in their hearts, and sometimes, what they were most afraid of was that the superior did not recognize the status quo.

It seems that I will have to learn more about the six princes in the future, Li Yuanshang thought in his heart.
