Chapter 650: Appointment
Wang Yuan was reluctant to talk about this topic, after all, the advent of the thunderbolt was a secret weapon that Wang Yuan had prepared for an inevitable upheaval. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But after being ordered to send troops to Tibet, Wang Yuan had to take out this killer weapon and expose it to the sun. Although Wang Yuan said it verbally, in fact, if the imperial court asked Wang Yuan to hand over the manufacturing method of the thunderbolt bomb, Wang Yuan still had to do it.
Although privately made weapons are not as good as private soldiers, and there is no crime to talk about, after all, it is common for border armies in various places to manufacture some weapons and equipment according to local conditions, but if they insist on not handing them over to the imperial court, it will inevitably be criticized. But this matter can never be hidden, so Wang Yuancai deliberately said that the cost of the thunderbolt bomb was sky-high, and first created a momentum, so that the imperial court could also weigh it.
If the imperial court insisted on asking Wang Yuan to hand over the manufacturing method, Wang Yuan was actually not worried. The formula of the fire side is in his own hands, and with only a slight change, the thunderbolt is not a thunderbolt. Wang Yuan would not be stupid enough to really hand over the Fuhuo Fang to the imperial court, wouldn't that be cheaper for An Lushan, wouldn't it make him like a tiger, Wang Yuan would never let this happen.
Wang Yuan thought that the worst-case scenario would be to continue to cooperate with Yang Guozhong's military department, using the Jiannan Army as a base for manufacturing thunderbolts, and then the imperial court would purchase thunderbolts and distribute them to various armies. Although this will also cause a very unfavorable situation, at least Wang Yuan can cut off the supply channel of thunderbolt bombs when needed, and then the situation can be controlled.
Of course, how to deal with this matter, Wang Yuan didn't think too far for a while, and he needed to end this war with Tubo in front of him, which was a big deal, and other things could only be dismantled.
The soldiers of the artillery battalion began to disassemble the Shenwei cannon and load it, but the 70,000 army remained in formation. The reason why the army was dispatched to line up in front was not a complete show of power. Shenwei artillery was set up and fired, and the most worrying thing was naturally that the enemy cavalry would go out of the city to raid the Shenwei artillery position, and the 70,000 army would be ready to engage the Tubo people at any time. Although it seems to be a toss-up of soldiers and horses, in fact, every move is an act with a purpose. Those who don't understand think it's a blind toss, but those who really understand are like a mirror in their hearts.
As the Shenwei artillery was loaded and retreated, the army also began to slowly retreat. Gao Xianzhi, Wang Yuan and the others were about to turn their horses back to the camp, when suddenly a guard beside them shouted: "Two commanders, the enemy has opened the city gate." ”
When everyone hurriedly turned their horses and looked back, they saw that the east gate of Pibo City suddenly opened, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
Ge Shuhan laughed and said, "What? Do the Tibetans want to surrender the city? ”
Liu Jun said crisply: "Who is rare for them to sacrifice the city, if they want to take it, we will take it early." ”
Everyone looked at the gate of the city, but saw a horse galloping out, and after crossing the suspension bridge, they went straight to the Tang army's array. Immediately, an ordinary Tibetan soldier, without any weapons on his body, controlled the reins with one hand, and waved back and forth with an object in his hand.
As soon as Zhao Qing waved his hand, all the guards immediately took off their bows and arrows and bent their bows and arrows at the comer. Wang Yuan frowned and said, "What is this?" People just came alone, with such sabre-rattling? Childish. ”
Zhao Qing sneered and ordered everyone to withdraw their bows and arrows, but he still rode up with more than a dozen guards to meet them and stop the comers.
"Don't let go of the arrow, I'm a messenger, I'm here to deliver the letter." The soldier shouted as he galloped closer.
Zhao Qing led someone to intercept the letter, searched the soldier's body, and after making sure that there was no threat, he brought the letter over.
"That one is the Jiannan Jiedu envoy Wang Yuan, Wang Dashuai?" The soldier stood on the ground and looked up at a row of Tang generals riding tall horses.
Everyone laughed, and Gao Xianzhi said: "You don't even know the famous Wang Dashuai, what kind of letter did you send?" ”
The Tibetan soldier said: "The villain knows you big people, presumably you are Wang Dashuai?" ”
Gao Xianzhi laughed and said, "I'm not, I'm just a nobody." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Tall and handsome don't tease him, if you are a nobody, we will all be grassy people." That Tibetan soldier, I am Wang Yuan, do you have a letter to give to me? ”
The Tibetan soldier looked at Wang Yuan and shook his head and said, "You are Wang Jiedu's envoy?" Don't I believe it? Don't lie to me. I have to hand over this letter to the envoy of Wang Jiedu, and I have explained that if I don't hand it over to the envoy himself, I will have to eat the whip when I go back. ”
"Hahaha, it turned out to be a stunned young man." Ge Shuhan laughed and said, "Can the envoy of Wang Jiedu also pretend?" That's what I'm talking to. ”
"I'm not stunned, you don't scold me with a gun and a stick. He is so young, how can he be the king's envoy? It's a bit like the one I just talked to. The Tibetan soldier pointed at Gao Xianzhi.
Wang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Are you here to gag or to deliver letters?" I said that I am Wang Yuan, and if you have a letter, give it to me. That one is Gao Xianzhi, you hand it over to him. ”
"Huh? Gao Xianzhi? The Tibetan soldier almost fell headlong and lay on the ground panting: "You are Gao Xianzhi, the general of the Tang Army in Anxi?" Oh my mother, it scared me to death. ”
Everyone laughed again, and Gao Xianzhi felt slightly proud. In the hearts of the Tibetan soldiers and horses, the three words Gao Xianzhi mean death and failure, compared to the bottom, Wang Yuan and other rising stars are far behind.
Zhao Qing scolded and stepped forward, snatched the letter from the hand of the Tubo soldier and presented it to Wang Yuan, the soldier was stunned for a while, but he didn't try to hand over the letter in person. Wang Yuan took the letter, only looked at the cover of an envelope, and suddenly his brows stretched, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Is your prime minister leaning on auspicious leaves in the city? What a coincidence, and today is a good day. Wang Yuan smiled. On the envelope, Yi Xiang Yele wrote a beautiful line of Chinese characters, which was more standard and upright than most Tang people. In the middle of the envelope is written 'Jiannan Jiedu makes Wang Yuan personally open', and the next paragraph is 'The old man leans on the auspicious Ye Le to worship'
Li Guangbi looked at the words on the envelope and said with a smile: "When did this prime minister become Wang Dashuai's old man." ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "Back then, outside the city of Wangzhou, I met him once, and we talked for an hour. Old General Li, I didn't expect this Yixiang Yele to be really interesting, claiming to be my old friend. ”
Li Mi said with a smile: "The old man wants to see it, I'm afraid I want to calculate the confused account back then, I guess there is nothing good in this letter." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and took out the letterhead, and there were few words on the letterhead, which could be seen at a glance. Wang Yuan laughed after seeing it: "The Tubo people reacted really quickly. Tall and handsome, you're afraid you're going to lose that bet we made. ”
After that, Wang Yuan handed the letter to Gao Xianzhi, Gao Xianzhi took the letter, read it, and smiled: "You won, sure enough, you used the Shenwei Cannon Thunderbolt to force them to take the initiative to sue for peace, that's it, what I promised you will definitely be done." ”
The crowd didn't know what they were betting on, but when they heard that this letter was actually a letter asking for peace, they immediately circulated it. On the letter, Yixiang Yele proposed to Wang Yuan that he would go out of the city tonight to discuss the matter of the two countries in the Tang army camp, and asked Wang Yuan to give a reply.
After everyone finished circulating, Wang Yuan smiled and said, "How to reply?" Agree with him to come or not agree with him to come? ”
Li Guangbi said: "The imperial decree has not yet arrived, we still don't know the meaning of the imperial court, let's talk to him now, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Ge Shuhan also said: "It's better to wait for two days, the meaning of the imperial court is clear." ”
Wang Yuan looked at Gao Xianzhi and said, "What does Gao Dashuai mean?" ”
Gao Xianzhi waved his hand and said: "People are so sincere, they take the initiative to talk, and they just turn them away?" Could it be that we have rejected him now, and when the Holy Decree agrees to the peace agreement, we should take the initiative to make an appointment with someone? ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "That's it, when they look for us, we take the initiative." Yixiang Yele is the prime minister of Tubo, and he took the initiative to talk, he must have been instructed. As for the holy decree of the imperial court, if the imperial court does not agree to the peace discussion, then we will regret it, and it is not a big deal. ”
Everyone was stunned, Wang Dashuai is taking negotiation as a child's play? Say you regret it?
Gao Xianzhi laughed and said, "Wang Dashuai is really a character, I, Gao Xianzhi, really admire you more and more." ”
Wang Yuan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: If you scold someone, you will scold someone, why beat around the bush.
Since Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi agreed, Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi naturally had nothing to say. Wang Yuan said to the Tubo soldier who was sitting on the ground: "You go back to report to your prime minister, and say that tonight is the first watch, and I will wait for the wine." The old people met and talked about wine. ”
The soldier got up and nodded in agreement, but his eyes looked at Gao Xianzhi unmoved. Gao Xianzhi frowned and said, "You are so rude, do you want to die?" ”
"No, no, no, I just want to remember the tall and handsome appearance, and go back and tell the brothers that I have seen Gao Xianzhi, otherwise they won't believe it. Our soldiers and horses in Xichuan have fought with the tall and handsome soldiers and horses for so many years, I'm afraid that I am the only one who has seen Gao Xianzhi with my own eyes. I was really scared and lucky. ”
"......" all the Tang soldiers and Tang generals were speechless.
