On the other side, Yang Zifen, who had a solemn face, rode out of the Tang Army camp, and after running out for three or four miles, the expression on his face suddenly changed from solemn to an imperceptible smirk.

Not long after, Yang Zifen returned to Longwei City, and Ge Luofeng asked, "How is it?" I hope it? ”

Yang Zifen told what happened: "...... Xia Chen felt that this Lanling King had a clear mind and a little angry in his thoughts, and such a person didn't know how he got to this position today. ”

Ge Luofeng smiled and said: "Don't take it lightly, but if that's the case, it's a good thing, in this way, if you go again tomorrow, just say that the Lone King is willing to tie himself up and ask for guilt, but you have to ask the King of Lanling to show his sincerity and promise that he will not continue to attack Nanzhao after arresting the Lone King." We must convince him of our sincerity. ”

Yang Zifen smiled and said, "The subordinates understand! ”

So on the second day, Yang Zifen brought a large number of cattle, sheep, fruits and wine, and came to the Tang army camp for the second time, once again expressing the sincerity of Nanzhao to seek peace, and told Xiao Quai, the Tang Dynasty Yunnan Wang Ge Luofeng, was willing to come to the Tang camp to ask for guilt, and asked the king of Lanling to express the corresponding sincerity, that is, to stop building warships.

Then he was sternly rejected by Xiao Quai, and then Yang Zifen was sent off by Xiao Quai's illness again and rode back to Longwei City.

"How's it going?" Ge Luofeng asked.

"King Lanling is very gaffe, probably because he didn't expect that the king would really agree to bind himself and ask for guilt. The subordinates asked him to stop building warships, but he refused.

In addition to asking the king to tie himself up and plead guilty, he also asked to send the prince and ministers to his army as hostages, and to disarm 10,000 Luo Tho sons to the Tang army camp as hostages. ”

Ge Luofeng and several ministers of Nanzhao glanced at each other. Laughing: "These are all due meanings. He, King Lanling, held in his hands an elite army with such strong equipment and combat effectiveness. He came to Nanzhao to obtain military exploits.

Now that he has inexplicably agreed to negotiate peace, he is naturally unhappy, and the conditions he put forward are also normal. ”

Everyone smiled, but Duan Mingyi didn't understand a little, stabbed his uncle Duan Quange, and whispered: "Uncle, this Lanling King can't be trusted, in case he waits for our king." After the prince, the minister, these hostages, and 10,000 Luo Thozi were disarmed, he suddenly denied his account and continued to attack us? ”

"Fool, don't you understand the plan set by the king and Mr. Yang? We really want to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, but we are not seeking peace, but forcing peace by war. ”

For this nephew who is not very good at braining, Duan Quange had to patiently explain: "So we are fake this time, and we use this method." Let them let their guard down and then look for opportunities to strike in all directions. Burn their warships and shipyards, preferably capture the Lanling King alive, and then force him to make a truce and an alliance with us. ”

Duan Mingyi nodded thoughtfully, and Ge Luofeng continued to ask, "How is the morale in the Tiance military camp, and how is the defense?" ”

Yang Zifen said: "The morale is still high, but I heard that there are going to be peace talks, which is obviously a lot lower than last time, the guards of the battalion are not as strict as last time, and the sentry horses on the road are not so energetic." ”

Ge Luofeng was overjoyed: "I am tired of Aiqing to go again, reiterate the sincerity of our peace talks, and reveal to the king of Lanling the information that the Tubo reinforcements are about to arrive."

Then he said that the conditions of King Lanling were reasonable, and my Nanzhao was very afraid of fraud, so he did not dare to agree to disarm 10,000 Luo Thozi for the time being, so he said that King Gu was willing to send King Gu's eldest son and ten ministers to the Tang camp as hostages to show his sincerity.

But please ask the king of Lanling to also send ten generals and captains to Longwei City as hostages, and then the lone king will bind himself and ask for guilt. ”

Yang Zifen promised and showed his loyalty, and then rode the horse king Tang army camp to catch up, and the two sides were not far away, just thirty miles away, and they arrived in less than half an hour on horseback.

As they expected, Xiao Qubing naturally refused to agree to Ge Luofeng's requests, insisting that he must come according to all his requirements, and if he didn't agree, he would be beaten.

So Yang Zifen released a blockbuster news: "...... The Tibetan reinforcements will arrive in about ten days, and if the king of Lanling refuses to give in at all, the king of Yunnan can only temporarily cooperate with the Tibetan for the sake of the lives of millions of people in Nanzhao. ”

Xiao Quzhi frowned and didn't speak, but Ma Sui on the side jumped up and scolded: "Dashuai, I just said that this grandson of Ge Luofeng didn't have any good intentions, and he sent someone to sue for peace just to delay time, slow down the progress of our shipbuilding, and let me kill this old boy!" ”

After saying that, Ma Sui pulled out the horizontal knife and wanted to do it, Yang Zifen was killed by the neck, Ma Sui looked at Xiao Quai's illness and didn't nod, so he took the horizontal knife back again.

Li Sheng stood up and said: "Please order the marshal to rush to build warships day and night, we can build fifty warships in eight days, which is enough to destroy the Nanzhao Naval Division, and the rest can take a bamboo raft, as long as they land on the west bank of Erhai Lake, the last general will dare to make a military order and break through Taihe City within one day!" ”

Yang Zifen was so frightened that his heart skipped half a beat, and his heart said that it would be better not to be self-defeating, he forced himself to calm down and said: "Does King Lanling insist on losing both?"

Although the combat power of the Tiance army is extraordinary, but after all, the number is limited, I have more than 80,000 soldiers who are good at fighting, more than 80,000 township soldiers, and more than 500 naval warships.

We are waiting for the last battle, and there are numbers and geographical advantages, and it is unknown who will win or lose! Even if the Tiance army can win, it will be a tragic victory, and it will definitely pay a painful price, and then it will only benefit the fishermen of the Tubo army.

On the contrary, if the king of Lanling agrees to our request for peace, our Nanzhao can work with the Tang army to eat the 80,000 Tubo army, and then attack the Tubo Plateau for the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Shut up, Hugh is clever and clever!" Ma Sui said angrily: "Marshal, Nanzhao is not credible, it really can't be done, we can dig trenches and build a village here, with fortifications to defend, as long as the ship is built well, after defeating the Nanzhao Naval Division, we will be invincible, and we don't have to worry about grain, grass and water." ”

"Dashuai, make a decision, we will fight to the end with these Nanzhao barbarians, and avenge the robes who died in battle!"

"Revenge ......"

The generals were indignant, Yang Zifen was so frightened that he even broke out in a cold sweat, and he said loudly: "Please also ask the king of Lanling to think twice, Nanzhao is sincerely seeking peace, Tubo has now been divided into three, and the destruction is only in the morning and evening!"

King Lanling, the sincerity of our Nanzhao to return to the Tang Dynasty is true, we are willing to return all the land, never send a single army to the east of Yaozhou, we are also willing to be the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Tubo, for the Tang Dynasty to destroy Tubo!

King Lanling, Tubo is the revenge of the Tang Dynasty, and his henchmen are in great trouble! My king is willing to bind himself to Chang'an, and whether he kills or kills is decided by the Son of Heaven! ”

Xiao Quzhi glanced at Yang Zifen, obviously a little moved, and then Ma Sui said loudly: "Handsome ......"

Xiao Qubing waved his hand, and the tent quieted down for a moment, and then Xiao Qubing stared at Yang Zifen's eyes and said: "In this case, if you go back to Nage Luofeng, you will say that this king agrees, and let him immediately send his eldest son Feng Jiayi and ten ministers and generals to the Tang camp as hostages."

Tomorrow, this king will meet with Ge Luofeng and fifteen miles southeast of Longwei City, and ask Ge Luofeng to swear to the heavens and to your gods in public, and I will send ten generals and captains to Longwei City as hostages, and then Ge Luofeng will come to Tang Ying to ask for guilt. ”

Li Sheng hurriedly said: "Dashuai, no, King Nanzhao can't be trusted!" ”

Xiao Qu shouted sickly: "Enough! I believe you can win, but you have to know two things, we only have 20,000 elite soldiers, and I feel sorry for all of them. This king is not Yang Guozhong and Xian Yu Zhongtong, who will not hesitate to exchange his life for his military exploits!

Besides, he is right, our biggest enemy, Tubo, is the henchman of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Seeing the appearance of several generals who wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Quzhi shouted: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more!" ”

……

Soon after, Yang Zifen returned to Longwei City again and gave a complete introduction to the situation.

“…… At that time, it was really dangerous, more than a dozen Tang army generals all asked for a bloody battle to the end, revenge, and the matter was almost self-defeating, but fortunately, King Lanling had a sense of the overall situation. ”

Ge Luofeng nodded approvingly: "Now I know why this person can become the king of the Tang Dynasty at a young age, the lone king admires his mind a little, this is the person who does great things." ”

Zhao Meiqiu, the general of Nanzhao, said: "King, since this is the case, why don't we really take the opportunity to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?" Anyway, after that, I still have to force the king of Lanling. ”

Yang Bangyan, the minister of Nanzhao, glanced at Zhao Meiqiu like an idiot, and said in his heart You are stupid, surrender like this, the king will go to Tang Ying and escort to Chang'an, more than eighty percent will be beheaded, and even if he does not die, he will be imprisoned in Chang'an for the rest of his life.

You only think about yourself, not the king, and when this happens, you look good.

Yang Pong sneered: "The king's clever plan is unparalleled, and the ministers admire it to the fullest, but how to act below, please show the king." ”

Sensing everyone's strange eyes, Zhao Meiqiu also reacted immediately, his face turned red, fortunately, Ge Luofeng is also a generation of heroes, knowing that he is a martial artist, he made an unintentional mistake, and waved his hand to signal that he should be too nervous. Then he said: "Yang Qing, I want to ask you to make one more trip, it's hard to go back and forth, this time you can take a boat."

You go and tell the king of Nalanling, and say that the eldest son of this king must first go to say goodbye to his mother, and go to the temple to worship, and then he can go tomorrow, and he will send ten ministers to the hostage today, and then go tomorrow morning. ”

Yang Zifen nodded to indicate that he understood, and then Ge Luofeng glanced around at the ministers and said, "This time I went to Tang Ying as a hostage, which Aiqing is willing to take the initiative to go?" After coming back, he was added to the third level of official, and he was rewarded with a big gold robe and gold belt, five hundred taels of gold! ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, although the reward is high, but the risk is too great, and after being silent for a while, none of them took the initiative to stand up, but they all looked at Zhao Meiqiu and Duan Mingyi, and the two reacted and took the initiative to stand up helplessly.

When the candidates are selected, it is enough to find a few more small ministers and small officers who are not in the stream, and then Ge Luofeng will discuss with these ministers how to transfer troops, how to act at the opportune time, how to investigate the situation, how to pass on information, and so on.

On the other side, on the east shore of Erhai Lake, in several camps covered by curtains, more than 1,000 craftsmen are nervously and orderly assembling catapults, as well as placing and fixing deer bars. Outside the camp, a general named Li Sheng with three thousand Tiance soldiers guarded this place closely. (To be continued.) )
