Li Shanlai came to the main dormitory, and all the ministers had gradually woken up, and there was inevitably a panic, not many of these people were in a high position after all, and they had some courage, and they quickly calmed down.

Yun Fei came out of it and said, "Li Shan, Annan wants to talk to you. ”

Li Shan nodded and said, "You bring him to the side hall, and our people will also rest in shifts, all of them will not be dressed in wide clothes and knives will not be sheathed." ”

Li Shan sat quietly in the side hall alone and waited for the lord of Annan, and after a while, the lord of the country was brought over. Li Shan waved his hand and motioned for his men to leave.

The lord of Annan was quite calm, and looked at Li Shandao: "You are a person sent by Dali, right?" When did Dali come out with a character like you, this king didn't know, and you speak Chinese, you shouldn't be a native of Dali, you should be from the Tang Dynasty, right? ”

Li Shan said with a smile: "The lord of the country has good eyesight, and he is still the secretary of the arms department of the Tang Dynasty, surnamed Li Mingshan, and now he is the general of the Dali State Army." But it doesn't matter who I am, since the lord of the country is now in my hands, let's talk about the conditions straight to the point. ”

Hearing Li Shan's words, the expression of the Lord of Annan changed slightly, and Li Shan's name could not be described as loud. In just two or three years, wine has protruded, emerging from the Tang Dynasty, and the battle of Liangzhou is even more famous for winning less. The most important thing is that as the former secretary of the munitions department and the inventor and producer of gunpowder, Li Shan's significance to a country means that this firearm is the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, which is something that any country dreams of.

This is also a mistake by Tang Xuanzong, maybe he doesn't believe it now, Li Shan would turn his back on the Tang Dynasty and go to another country. But for other countries, one Li Shan is comparable to tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The lord of Annan said: "Dali has unified the six edicts, and its power has increased greatly, and this king also expected that Dali would be eyeing me Annan." It's just that I didn't expect you to have the ability to break into the palace alone and hold this king hostage. But if you think that you will have it at your fingertips if you kidnap this king, then you are wrong. My son was a proton in the Tang Dynasty and did not return, and the situation here has changed, and my son will definitely want the Tang Dynasty to ask troops to recover Annam. Master Li was once an official of the Tang Dynasty, so he should know the strength of the Tang Dynasty, right? ”

Li Shandao: "I don't think so, although Annan is the Shu State of the Tang Dynasty, why shouldn't I be Dali?" The reason why I attacked Annan was because the lord of Annan had bad intentions and murdered my lord Ge Luofeng, intending to contact Lu Zhenla to split my Dali. We were also forced to strike first. After taking Annan, we still want the Tang Dynasty to be a vassal and pay tribute every year, do you think the Tang Dynasty will use swords and soldiers for you, the lord of Annan? ”

The lord of Annan sneered: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, even if you can frame you, you have to see if Emperor Tang believes your nonsense." Do you think the Tang Dynasty will not see your wolf ambitions? How can you be allowed to grow big and threaten the rule of the Tang Dynasty? And once the Tang Dynasty moves troops, Lu Zhenla will also move, and when the time comes, how can you hold on for a long time when you have a little Dali on your back? It's just self-destruction. ”

Li Shan shook his head and said, "Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is even more difficult to use troops against Dali. If the Tang Dynasty had the ability to annex the Six Edicts, would it still sit back and watch the unification of Dali? And you can't even subdue a little Annan, and you still say that you will kill yourself. To tell you the truth, the Tibetans and Turks actually knew how to make gunpowder, and are now in full swing of preparations. Do you know? New weapons often represent a change in the combat effectiveness of the armed forces, and the change in combat effectiveness will affect the original distribution of forces, and the only way to redefine the distribution of forces is war. Do you think the Tang Dynasty has the energy to deal with you now? ”

The lord of Annan was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Even if the Tang Dynasty does not move troops for the time being, can you take my Annan?" Tell you that I still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Taiyuan City, and there are enough grain and grass, and you can take Jiaozhou City and more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Even if you can control me, what can you do? As long as my soldiers in the city hold on, you won't be able to take Annan in a few months. ”

Li Shan nodded and said: "Indeed, Taiyuan City and Jiaozhou City are rare fortified cities, the city walls are very thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, sufficient grain and grass. As long as the soldiers in the city stick to and wait for reinforcements, I really can't be sure that I will take these two cities in a short time. ”

Hearing Li Shan say this, a slight smile appeared on the face of the Lord of Annan. Negotiations are like this, the two sides take out their chips and make an equivalent exchange. The meaning of negotiation is to belittle the other party's bargaining chips, increase their own bargaining chips, and exchange the least chips for the greatest benefits.

Just when the lord of Annan thought that he was sure to win, Li Shan suddenly changed his words. "But what if the soldiers in Taiyuan City don't hold on and wait for help? What if they received an order from Jiaozhou City, Jiaozhou City was besieged, the situation was urgent, and the lord of the country ordered Taiyuan City to lead an army to help? Do you think your 10,000 infantry can fight against my 40,000 armor in the wilderness? ”

The lord of Annan smiled: "Impossible, what kind of fake military order do you take, there is no ...... of this king"

Li Shan smiled: "Understood? I really can't move the defenders of Taiyuan City without your talisman, but your talisman happens to be here with me. ”

The face of the lord of Annan became ugly, if the talisman was stolen, the armor in Taiyuan City would be led by the nose. It is easy to defend the city, but it is difficult to fight in the field. What's even more terrifying is that they are defenseless and will be annihilated in one fell swoop. If Taiyuan City is lost, Jiaozhou City will become a lonely city, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, but Taiyuan City's strategy, Dali's army will attack the city with all its might, and it will not last for three days.

Li Shandao: "Now that the defeat of Annan is decided, it only takes three days for my army to rectify Taiyuan City and attack Jiaozhou City." What I want to talk to you about now is not the question of whether to surrender or not, but how to surrender and what to do after surrendering. ”

The lord of Annan stubbornly stood up to Li Shan, his fists clenched, but in the end, he slowly let go, and said in a depressed voice: "Tell me about your conditions?" ”

Li Shandao: "Since this is a battle that must be lost, I don't think there is any need to continue fighting. There will be no fighting in Taiyuan City, and I have given an order that all the generals will be properly settled. The same is true of Jiaozhou City, I hope that the lord of the country can give up resistance and face the flames of war that poison the people of Jiaozhou City. I know that the lord of the kingdom has always loved his people like a son, and he does not want your people to suffer unjustified disasters, right? As long as you can take the initiative to open the city and surrender, I will definitely treat the lord of the country well, and you will also enjoy the treatment of a prince, benefiting future generations, and you will never lose up. ”

Annan said: "This matter is very important. Give me some time, and I'll get back to you. ”

Li Shan naturally knew what he was thinking. He has to wait for news from Taiyuan City, and he will not die if Taiyuan City does not fall. Li Shan has to wait. Because Taiyuan City does not fall, Li Shan's army will not be able to pass. (To be continued.) )
