Chapter 59

Li Changguo's voice was not high, as if he was talking to an old friend, but Yang Jin listened to it like thunder in his ears, his head was buzzing, and the whole person staggered, almost falling off the horse.

The Tang army invaded the hinterland of Tibet this time, what was the most feared by Tibet? What I am afraid of is the destruction of the Tang Dynasty in Tibet.

Li Changguo's words were tantamount to telling Yang Jin that the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Tibet. If it falls into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, won't Tubo perish?

Although Yang Jin had some guesses about this result, when it came out of Li Changguo's mouth, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

"Look at the way you look, you're almost dead in fear." Just when Yang Jin's heart was frightened, he only heard Li Changguo laugh and said: "The Tang Dynasty just wants to be reasonable, not to destroy Tibet, do you need to be afraid?" ”

"Ugh." Yang Jin made a sound of grinding teeth in his mouth, and then realized that things were not as bad as he imagined, maybe there was still a chance, and he hurriedly asked, "Prison Army, is this true?" ”

"More real than gold!" Li Changguo's voice is still not high, but it makes people dare not doubt it, and explained with a smile: "You must know that Tubo Mountain is high and the road is far away, even if the Tang Dynasty exterminates Tubo, how easy is it to govern Tubo?" Rather than that, it is better to have a logo. As long as the logic is in hand, Tubo will no longer disturb the Tang Dynasty, and the two countries will be peaceful from now on, which is a supreme good thing. ”

If it was occupied by the Tang Dynasty, the strength of Tibet would drop sharply, and it would be impossible to disturb the border, which is also credible.

As long as it is not the destruction of Tibet, it gives Tibet a glimmer of hope, Yang Jin's panic gradually disappeared, stared at Li Changguo and asked: "Prison army, if what you said is true, can you suspend the advance?" ”

"Datang has enough sincerity, does Tubo have it?" Li Changguo did not refuse, nor did he agree, and the implication is that it depends on your situation.

"Well, if the Tang Dynasty stops advancing, the Great Tubo is willing to send 100,000 cattle and 2 million sheep to the army." What Tubo needs most at the moment is time, if you pay these costs, let the Tang army postpone the attack, and buy more time for Tubo, it is definitely worth it, and Yang Jin is busy bidding.

"As long as the army of the Tang Dynasty arrives in Luo, what you want, why do you need to give it." Li Changguo refused.

"The prison army, if you can delay the march, Zampu will give you 100,000 gold and 100 stunning beauties." Yang Jin began to lure.

"Beauty, I still think our Datang beauty is good, there is no smell of sheep." Li Changguo shook his head slightly.

This method of bribery, Tubo has not been used by the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, often with miraculous effects, but today it is useless, Yang Jin was stunned, and said: "The great Tubo is willing to give 200,000 cattle, 5 million sheep, 100,000 gold, and 1 million silver." ”

"Well, for your sake, I can promise you. However, I want Zampu to come and talk to me. Li Changguo frowned, thought for a while, and then agreed.

"Good! Although the prison army can rest assured, I will return to Zampu, and Zampu will definitely be there in person. Yang Jin was overjoyed, his face was full of joy, he had been frightened for so long, and finally there was some good news.

He was also shrewd, and immediately asked: "The Great Tubo is full of sincerity, I don't know what sincerity the Tang Dynasty has?" ”

"How do you want Datang to show sincerity?" Li Changguo asked rhetorically.

"If the prison army can delay the march, this can be done." Yang Jin just wants to buy time for Tubo, and it would be good if he could make the Tang army ten days and a half months late. It's so cost-effective to get so much time for an empty word.

"This matter is too big, we have to discuss, you wait first." Li Changguo thought about it and asked Li Yi to take Yang Jin down.

As soon as Yang Jin left, Li Sheng shouted: "Prison army, you must not agree." We finally arrived in the hinterland of Tibet, and we were ready to fight in one go. At that point, what do we want? I heard that more than a million people had gathered under the city of Logos, and there were herds of cattle, sheep, and horses, so why should they be sent with a beard? ”

This is the big truth, Li Sheng thinks he is reasonable, and he shouts very energetically.

"Haha." Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, and Li Guangbi pointed at Li Sheng, looked up to the sky, and laughed.

Li Sheng was laughed inexplicably, and asked in a daze, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, and Li Guangbi did not answer, but you looked at me, I looked at you, with a smile on his face, Li Sheng was even more confused.

Li Changguo and they didn't discuss it, and after a while, Li Changguo asked Li Yi to bring Yang Jin over.

Yang Jin looked at Li Changguo, looking pitiful and dumbfounded, and forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart.

"This matter, we have discussed it, and we can show the sincerity of Datang." Li Changguo looked very reluctant and said, "I will stop advancing for three days." With these three days, you will be able to rush back to Logos to report to the Emperor of the Heavens, and if we do not get confirmation after three days, we will march into Logos. ”

Three days is not a lot, but it is great news for Tibet, who is in urgent need of time. The Tang army came too suddenly, completely disrupting Tubo's plan, and it would take at least ten days and a half months to adjust.

"Prison army, three days is too little, at least a month." Yang Jin is a shrewd person, otherwise he would not have been selected to come to the peace talks, and he suppressed the joy in his heart and bargained.

"A month? You can figure it out. Li Changguo said coldly: "A month later, the spring flowers are blooming, the ice and snow are melting, and the rivers are thawing, and it will be difficult for us to march to Luo Qi again, do you think we are so confused?" ”

After capturing the broken Hukou, the Tang army was like entering a no-man's land, and by now, it had already rushed half the way, and there were still thousands of miles away from Luo. On this thousand-mile journey, there are also several rivers. Due to the special geographical environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the river was frozen at this time, which was suitable for the Tang army to advance.

If the Tang army had stopped advancing for a month, the rivers would have thawed, and by that time the difficulties for the Tang army to advance would have increased dramatically.

Yang Jin is asking for a sky-high price, Li Changguo is repaying the money on the ground, he doesn't care, and immediately bids: "It will take at least twenty days." ”

"Say three days, it's three days, it won't change." Lee Chang-kook was unwavering.

"Prison army, fifteen days, no less." Yang Jin backed down again.

"So be it, three and a half days." Li Changguo also relented, but it just made Yang Jin cry and laugh.

"Ten days." Yang Jin gritted his teeth and backed down again.

"Well, for your sincere sake, five days, no more. If you're not satisfied, leave. Li Changguo's tone was unusually tough, and he did not have the slightest intention of backing down.

"Okay, five days." was able to get five days from Li Changguo's hands, and Yang Jin was very satisfied, but he pretended to be embarrassed: "It's just that how can the prison army make Zampu believe it?" ”

"Well, I'll write you a letter." Li Changguo grabbed Yang Jin, and in his frightened screams, tore his fox fur to shreds, cut his fingers with a horizontal knife, and wrote it, and a blood book was written.

Yang Jin was frightened, and thought that Li Changguo was going to kill him, but he was just writing a blood book, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"To show sincerity, I'll also give some blood." Li Changguo cut his fingers, wrote the words "Li Changguo", and a bloody letter was finished, handed it to Yang Jin, and smiled very kindly: "If the prison army does what it says, the prison army will stop advancing for five days." Time is running out, you have to hurry. ”

Yang Jin read the blood book again, and there was no problem, especially the above sentence "For the sake of friendship between the two countries, the prison army decided to suspend the advance of the prison army for five days", which made Yang Jin happy, solemnly put away the blood book, said goodbye to Li Changguo, and went happily.

As soon as Yang Jin left, Li Sheng couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at Li Changguo: "Prison Army, why are you so confused? How could you promise him? It's a missed opportunity. ”

Li Changguo and Yang Jin bargained, Li Sheng heard it in his ears, he was extremely unhappy, and he wanted to stop it, but he stopped Guo Ziyi, Li Bai and Li Guangbi, so he had to endure it. Now, as soon as Yang Jin is gone, he has a seizure.

He roared loudly, but it caused Guo Ziyi, Li Bai and Li Guangbi to laugh.

Li Changguo waved his hand and said, "Order, rest on the spot." ”

"Overseer, you're so confused." Li Sheng's cheeks bulged high, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he was very angry.

In his mind, Li Changguo was shrewd, but he didn't expect that a wise man would have such a mistake, and he couldn't do it if he didn't get angry.

As soon as the order was passed, the Tang army stopped advancing, Li Changguo jumped off his horse, and with a wave of his hand, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, and Li Guangbi sat together. Li Sheng puffed up and didn't sit, Li Changguo smiled and said, "General Li, are you standing or sitting?" ”

"Sit down." Guo Ziyi pulled Li Sheng to sit down, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Li, you are anxious, do you know why the prison army did this?" ”

"He's confused!" Li Sheng's heart is a straightforward person.

"You're wrong, very wrong. The prison army is a plan. Li Guangbi patted him on the shoulder and explained to him.

"Will it be calculated?" Li Sheng didn't understand.

Li Changguo waved his hand to stop him from asking, and said with a smile: "Right now, we are still thousands of miles away. This thousand-mile journey not only has rivers, but also passes. The river is now the freezing season, so there is no need to worry, but the only thing to worry about is the pass. If we want to hit the logic in one fell swoop, we have to knock down these barriers in one fell swoop. The arrival of the Tibetan envoy is just a good opportunity for us, so why not make good use of it? ”

Although these passes are not as difficult to fight as the dangerous passes in the Jishi Mountain, if they are prepared for a strong attack, the casualties of the Tang army are not small, and it is a very good choice to calculate it.

Li Sheng seemed to realize something, and asked, "Even so, you can't stop moving forward." ”

"General Li, you are really confused. The road is impassable, and the army presses up, what is the use? Why not take this opportunity and do something else. Li Guangbi leaned towards Li Sheng and said with a smile: "Disperse the army and plunder some cattle and sheep, and we will have something to eat, which is what we urgently need in front of us." Although there are many cities in Logos, they cannot be reached in one go. ”

Logistics was the most important thing for the Tang army to solve, and it was particularly important to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the pass and plunder cattle and sheep.

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "I understand, while capturing, attacking the pass." It's just, in this way, isn't this untrustworthy? If you don't have faith, you can't stand, although Tubo is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, you can use stratagem, but you can't break your trust. ”

"Don't worry, the prison army will not lose its trust." Li Bai reminded with a smile: "You take the sentence of the prison army well." ”

"For the sake of friendship between the two countries, the Supervision Army has decided to suspend the advance of the Supervision Army for five days." Li Sheng tasted it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he put his arms around Li Changguo, gnawed Li Changguo's forehead, and shouted: "Prison Army, you are too shrewd!" Yang Jin is still rejoicing in your evil deeds. ”
