Zhou Dean humiliated himself, he wanted to show off, but he was teased by Wang Yuan like a fool, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to restrain his arrogance and honestly began to talk about the peace talks.

"Vice Marshal Wang, Luo Feng, the head of my Nanzhao Kingdom, actually has no anti-Tang heart, the cause of this war is because the former Yunnan Taishou Zhang Qiantuo went frivolously and insulted the princess, this matter must have been heard by Vice Marshal Wang. After that, our lord asked Zhang Qiantuo to apologize, and Zhang Qiantuo not only did not comply, but shamelessly insulted our lord. Under such circumstances, our lord could not bear to capture Yaozhou and kill Zhang Qiantuo. After this, Jiannan Xianyu led his troops to attack, and my lord immediately said that he could return Yaozhou to settle the dispute. However, the commander was unwilling to accept the conditions, so our lord had to raise troops to meet the enemy. It is hoped that Vice Marshal Wang will clearly understand the cause of this dispute. ”

Wang Yuan said lightly: "I know everything you said, and then what?" ”

Zhou Dean said: "The situation after that, Vice Marshal Wang has personally experienced, but there is no need to talk too much." Vice Marshal Wang used his troops like a god, and won successive victories in Quzhou, in Wangzhou, in Lushui, in Langdongcheng, and in Yanghebacheng. My Nanzhao Kingdom suffered heavy losses, and finally ended up alone in Taihe City, which is not enough. Since Vice Marshal Wang has already punished Nanzhao, does he still have to force people to a dead end? I think that the price paid by Nanzhao is enough to make up for the mistake of attacking Yaozhou and killing Zhang Qiantuo that day. Therefore, Vice Marshal Wang could not stop the two countries from repairing, eliminating the army, and restoring peace between the two countries, which is a good thing for both the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao. Vice Marshal Wang is a reasonable person, when he knows the principle that the war will be lost, and the peace will be a win-win situation. ”

I have to say that Zhou De'an's eloquence is still good, he speaks in an orderly manner, and he listens very well. The words were silent and secretly praised Wang Yuan, but they did not seem slippery and flattering.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Listening to Master Zhou's words, it makes me feel that if I attack Taihe City again, it will seem like I have made a great mistake." But Master Zhou obviously forgot that under the current situation, our army could break through Taihe City and destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom overnight. Ge Luofeng is no longer able to fight against me, if I give up at this time, won't I be scolded for stupidity? ”

Zhou Dean hurriedly said: "How can this be called stupid. Mingren doesn't say dark words, Vice Marshal Wang has already sent someone to survey the pattern of Taihe City, I don't mean to make Vice Marshal Wang angry, but in fact, Vice Marshal Wang wants to conquer Taihe City, I'm afraid it will be an overnight achievement. The topography of Taihe City is incomparable, although after repeated defeats, Nanzhao's soldiers and horses were lost. But there are still 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Taihe City, including more than 10,000 soldiers, and tens of thousands of young and strong people. Once Taihe City is attacked, I don't think there is a need for the Lord of Ge Luofeng to force them, and all the people in the city will spontaneously participate in defending the city. There will be a protracted battle ahead of the dragon's head. ”

Liu Dehai shouted: "You didn't come to negotiate peace, but you came to declare war and threaten, right?" You mean we can't take Taihe City? ”

Zhou Dean hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This general has misunderstood, I just analyzed the situation, how dare I have the slightest threat, if it is a threat, how can the Lord of the Pavilion Feng take the initiative to sue for peace?" ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go on, what if I insist on attacking Taihe City?" ”

Zhou De'an said solemnly: "If the deputy marshal insists on attacking the city, Taihe City will definitely not be able to defend it, but the deputy marshal will also pay a painful price if he takes Taihe City." Some of the generals present here may want to bury their bones here, and most of the soldiers in the army led by the deputy marshal may have died in battle. I want to ask Vice Marshal Wang, why is this so painful? And what if you take Taihe City? I don't believe that Deputy Marshal Wang doesn't understand how much energy, manpower and financial resources it will take to conquer the land of Cangshan and Erhai. ”

Wang Yuan's brows furrowed, Zhou Dean was able to say this, which showed that Ge Luofeng actually knew very well in his heart that once the peace agreement could not be reached, he was also ready to retreat into the mountains and forests to fight guerrilla harassment warfare.

"Hearing you say that, I don't think it's so wise to attack Taihe City. So, let's talk about the conditions offered by your lord, let me hear if it is attractive. It is not known whether the army will actually stop there. Wang Yuan said.

Zhou De was happy in peace, knowing that his words had poked Wang Yuan's heart, so he said with a calm face: "Our lord has indeed made some compromise conditions. First, our lord is willing to apologize to the Tang court for attacking Yaozhou and killing Zhang Qiantuo. At the same time, the people and property taken from Yaozhou were returned. Second, our lord is willing to promise that he will never be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty from now on, and from then on, the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao Kingdom will no longer step into the Tang Dynasty, treat each other peacefully, and make friends forever. Third, our Nanzhao Kingdom will accept the proposal that Datang has been asking for the transportation of precious medicinal timber before, and open up trade with Datang. Specifically, what kind of materials can be exchanged for the rare medicinal materials and fur wood materials unique to our Nanzhao in Datang, and this matter can be resolved through negotiation. Fourth......"

Zhou De'an was still talking to himself, but Wang Yuan laughed and stood up and waved his hand to interrupt: "Master Zhou doesn't need to say any more, go back and report to Ge Luofeng, and teach him to prepare for the attack of my Jiannan army." In such a situation, if you are still unwilling to make peace sincerely, this is called not seeing the coffin and not crying. Come, send off. ”

Zhao Qing Tan Ping stepped forward, holding Zhou Dean from left to right and shouting: "Please!" ”

Zhou Dean was stunned and said, "Vice Marshal Wang, why are you doing this?" If we are not satisfied with the terms of peace, we can sit down and discuss it carefully. Why bother? ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "I'll discuss with you? You are worthy of it. Ge Luofeng sent you to stir up trouble, obviously without sincerity to negotiate peace. The terms of the peace offer were simply ridiculous and generous. Those who don't know still think that my Jiannan Army has been defeated. It's the soldiers and horses of your Nanzhao Kingdom who are defeated, and you can make such a peace negotiation lightly because you avoid the serious, is this a trick on me? Go back and tell Ge Luofeng that he has successfully annoyed me, and if he wants to make peace, he needs to show twelve points of sincerity. Within three days, if he fails to offer a condition that satisfies me, I will attack Taihe City with my army. ”

Zhou Dean shouted: "Where does this start? The terms of the peace negotiation were not proposed by the Lord of the Ge Luo Feng Kingdom, so you don't blame the Lord of the Ge Luo Feng Kingdom. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "Then who drew up the conditions for this peace negotiation?" But what a talent, do you treat me like a monkey? ”

Zhou Dean frowned and thought for a while: "The lord of the country has been given carte blanche to Princess Erhai to handle the peace negotiation, and the conditions for this peace negotiation are also drawn up by Princess Erhai. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "This Erhai princess again?" ”

Song Jiangong said: "She was the one who burned dozens of Shenwei cannons in the camp that night. The captured barbarian said that she was the one who cut the rope around the mountain wall in Lushui, and almost killed us alone on the south bank. This princess of Erhai is resourceful and has a high prestige in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and is known as the national treasure of the Nanzhao Kingdom. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "National treasure, what a national treasure." ”

Zhou Dean shouted: "Vice Marshal Wang, if you are not satisfied with the terms of the peace negotiation, you can draw up the terms and let me bring it back for the lord of the country and Princess Erhai to discuss and decide, why be angry?" The negotiation of peace talks was the result of mutual compromise and negotiation. ”

Liu Dehai shouted loudly: "I want that princess of Erhai in Nanzhao to come and sleep with our deputy marshal for one night, and then talk about peace." This mother-in-law has suffered for us along the way, and now she is playing tricks in the peace negotiation, what national treasure is not a national treasure, give our deputy marshal a warm quilt as a concubine, to show the sincerity of your Nanzhao barbarian. ”

Liu Jun screamed in a crisp voice: "Yes, if you are really sincere, let the princess of Erhai come to serve my father-in-law." Serve tea to my father-in-law, pour water, wash his feet and warm the bed, otherwise he will burn Taihe City to the ground. ”

Li Mi also shouted: "That's right, first make peace, and then make peace." That's sincerity. The national treasures of Nanzhao Kingdom don't even want to make peace, it's so easy there. Is Taihe City really that difficult to break? Go back and tell your lord that our army may not attack from Longshou Pass. It only takes ten days and half a month to build a driftwood ship, load Shenwei cannons and bombard Taihe City from the Erhai Sea, and see how many days your Taihe City can last. There are more than 1,000 shipbuilders in my army, and they are very quick to start. ”

All the generals followed suit, and they strongly demanded that Nanzhao first offer national treasures before talking about peace talks. Zhou Dean didn't dare to say a word in the midst of the uproar, and the words of the generals in the audience gradually became inconsistent, knowing that if he stayed, he would only hear more words that he didn't want to hear. So he hurriedly saluted Wang Yuan, covered his face with his sleeves, and turned to leave.

The generals were talking happily, and Wang Yuan frowned: "I just want you to put some pressure on the side, but I didn't ask you to insult that Erhai princess." What is the difference between us doing this and Zhang Qiantuo? Zhang Qiantuo's princess of the light pavilion Luofeng, let's insult other people's girls, isn't this a raccoon dog? ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "We just give them a wake-up call and let them send the princess to kiss, this is to show them the way." If Ge Luofeng took this as an insult, then this person would be incorrigible. We don't have to negotiate peace with him, just capture Taihe City, it's a big deal not to garrison troops, just burn it to the ground. ”

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "The old general is also making a fuss? I think I have to fight if I don't fight this time, so I'd better think about how to take Taihe City quickly with fewer casualties. ”
