Under Zhao Ziliang's arrangement, several soldiers carried a small table and two chairs and placed them a stone's throw away from the city wall, a huge canopy covered the sun, Zhao Ziliang sat on one of the chairs, and waited slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a pot of wine and two small porcelain cups on the table, Zhao Ziliang picked up the wine jug and poured wine into his cup, tasting it slowly, not looking like a war at all.

The interpreter of Da Shi held a white flag and went to the city wall and said loudly to Bo Xilin: "The leader of the city tower, General Zhao of the Tang Army, asked me to bring a message to you, General Zhao said that he has more than 1,600 captives in his hands, all of whom were captured when you attacked the Tang army camp yesterday evening, if the leader still cherishes their lives and is still a person of faith and responsibility, go out of the city to meet him alone!" ”

When the generals of the Great Food Rebel Army on the tower of the city heard this, they dissuaded one after another: "The leader can't go out, who knows if the Tang people will trick you out and kill you by trickery?" If the leader goes out of the city, once the Tang army makes a move against you, we will not be able to rescue you! ”

The generals are very worried about this, but the rebel soldiers have another idea, they only know that the people captured outside the city are ordinary soldiers like them, they are brothers, and they are brothers with the generals, and the generals will not care about their life or death, if the Tang army killed so many ordinary people before, these rebel soldiers still have no idea in their hearts, after all, the people have nothing to do with them, but now the people are not the people, but the people who are captured now, but the same people as them, are all comrades, If he risked the lives of so many soldiers for the sake of a woman, the rebel soldiers would inevitably see him differently than before, and his prestige in their hearts would be greatly diminished, and the soldiers would be suspicious of their faith.

Although he was not very politically sensitive, he understood the minds of these ordinary soldiers, because he had been a Persian slave soldier before.

And Bo Silin knew that he had to give up Princess Hera, although he was very reluctant, he felt that it was a pity, but he had to give up, it was not easy to get such a peerless beauty, and he had to give it up before he could enjoy the blessings, which made him feel really unwilling, but there was no way, for his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers and generals of the army, he had to do it.

And Bo Xilin raised his hand to stop the generals from continuing to persuade, he shook his head and said: "Compared with the more than 1,600 captured soldiers outside the city, what is a woman, even if she is the most beautiful woman in the world?" Swapping a woman for more than 1,600 elite soldiers is a good deal, right? As for my safety, you don't have to worry at all, the other party is also a figure with a head and a face, and he shouldn't do such a sinister little action! ”

Ziad still persuaded: "Chief, the most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart, the leader has never been in contact with the Tang general, how can he know the other party's personality?" I suggest that the chief send someone else to negotiate with the other side."

And Bo Xilin thought about it, and also felt that he couldn't fully trust Zhao Ziliang, after all, the two armies were still enemies now, but Zhao Ziliang asked him to come out for an interview by name, if he let the other go, he was afraid that Zhao Ziliang would not accept it, and finally he decided to take a risk, and he also believed that Zhao Ziliang would not dare to disadvantage him, because Princess Hera was still in his hands, if Zhao Ziliang killed him, wouldn't he be afraid that his subordinates would kill Princess Hera?

"Don't be persuaded, General Tang won't dare to kill me, don't forget that Princess Hera is still in our hands, if he dares to touch me, you will kill Princess Hera immediately!" You know? ”

Ziad, Daoud, Said, and others agreed: "Yes, chief!" ”

And Bo Xilin picked up his cloak and walked down the city tower, the generals followed behind and sent to the city gate, waiting for the city gate drawbridge to be put down, and Bo Xilin held the scimitar handle and strode out of the city, and when he walked across the drawbridge, the soldiers on the city tower quickly turned the winch to pull up the city gate drawbridge, and the generals saw that the city gate was closed, and they all quickly returned to the city tower to watch and Bo Xilin walked towards Zhao Ziliang.

The position where Zhao Ziliang placed the table was the same distance from the city wall and the Tang army's formation, so a canopy, a table, and two chairs were placed in the open space between the two sides, except for Zhao Ziliang sitting on one of the chairs, and the big food translator standing behind him, there was not a single Tang army soldier around, which seemed a little lonely and empty.

"General, he's coming!" The big food translator reminded.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look when he heard this, saw Bo Xilin walking in, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Leader and Bo Xilin, fortunately!" Have a seat! ”

The interpreter translated his words into the Great Food, and Bo Xilin listened, put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed, "I am also very fortunate to meet His Excellency the General!" General please! ”

The two sides sat down immediately, Zhao Ziliang shook his head at the big food interpreter, the big food translator immediately walked to the table and picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Bo Xilin, Zhao Ziliang picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Please!" ”

And Bo Silin did not hesitate, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Zhao Ziliang admired this, the ability to have a hostile relationship, and Bo Silin was not worried that he was poisoned in the wine, from this point Zhao Ziliang admired and Bo Silin's courage, no wonder this person in the history of another time and space The status of the Arab Empire is like Han Xin of the Han Dynasty.

After putting down his glass, he asked, "What is the general going to do with these prisoners?" ”

Although Bo Xilin is very talented in military affairs, he is not very good in other aspects, from this question just now, Zhao Ziliang can see it, he smiled, and said: "It is useless for me to keep these prisoners, because it is impossible for them to serve me, and I have to use a lot of food to prevent them from starving to death, and it is unwise to raise a group of useless captives who may be attacked at any time, what do you think I should do with them?" ”

And Bo Xilin looked at Zhao Ziliang and was silent for a moment, and said: "I believe that His Excellency General's hometown should also have gods. Captives are also people, and the general is here to massacre us and eat people, aren't you afraid of the gods? ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "Doesn't Your Excellency the Chief think it's ridiculous to say this? As far as I know, Your Excellency is a rebel to the Great Food Official, and you are one of the leaders of the rebel army, you seem to believe in Shiism, didn't you kill anyone when you were fighting? Have not your men killed their captives? ”

"It seems that His Excellency the General is well aware of the situation on our side!" And Bo Xilin nodded, and said: "In this case, then let's each put forward our own conditions, I want to redeem those captured soldiers, what conditions does the general have?" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "You know what I want!" ”

And Bo Xilin sighed in his heart, knowing that Princess Hera would not be able to keep her no matter what, so he could only return her to Zhao Ziliang, so he said: "Okay, I promise to hand over Princess Hera to His Excellency the General, but the more than 1,600 people captured by His Excellency the General cannot be missing!" ”

Zhao Ziliang groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." However, you must also hand over all the people who follow the princess to marry and all the dowry items, and I will ask someone to count them at that time, and if there is one person missing or one item missing, the exchange will be canceled! In addition, you must prepare a month's worth of food and grass for us, and after the transaction is completed, we have nothing to do with each other! The grievances are clear, I escort Princess Hera back to Datang, what you want to do has nothing to do with me! ”

He Bo Silin had to pay more than 3,000 people for a month's grain and grass, which was not a large amount for Ji Bo Silin, but if Sehran City wanted to take out this batch of grain and grass, then there would not be much grain in stock, which made him hesitate a little.

But soon, and Bo Xilin had a choice, the food was gone, and he could go to the official grain of the Great Food Country, but if the deal could not be reached, these prisoners would not come back, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, so he agreed to Zhao Ziliang's request after some weighing, and exchanged Princess Hera, the dowry staff and all the dowry items with the soldiers captured by Zhao Ziliang, and at the same time he also paid an additional 3,000 people for a month's grain and grass to Zhao Ziliang, and the two sides reached an agreement.

Now it's too late to trade, Zhao Ziliang and Bo Xilin decided to exchange tomorrow morning, and give each other a time to prepare, and then they will still trade here.

So the two sides returned, and Zhao Ziliang led the army to Liu Wei's newly built camp, and after settling the team, he summoned officials and generals to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have made an agreement with Posirin that tomorrow morning we will exchange them at our place today, and he will hand over to us Princess Hera, the dowry staff, and the dowry items, and we will hand over these captives to them, and at the same time, they will have to prepare a month's worth of food and grass for our more than 3,000 people, and this is what this exchange is all about!"

The generals and officials were relieved when they heard this, especially Du Chaoyang, an official of the Ministry of Rites, and others, they were the most reluctant to continue to stay here, it was hot and dry here, and as soon as the sun came out, it would be fatal, and the sand on the ground could bake people, if it weren't for Princess Hera in the hands of Bo Silin, they would have been unwilling to stay here for a long time, and now they heard that they could exchange hostages tomorrow, as long as there were no accidents in the exchange process, they were all happy.

Du Chaoyang sighed: "I killed so many big cannibals a few days ago, and Bo Xilin just didn't hand over Princess Hera, if it wasn't for the proper deployment of the general and the capture of so many big food rebels, I don't know how long the matter will drag on, thank God, there is finally a solution!" ”

All the generals nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's a good thing that so many Great Food rebels have been captured." (To be continued.) )
