The five thousand cavalry are also personal, if they die, the five thousand cavalry will die with them, even if they don't die, they are all dead, and the five thousand soldiers who were threatened with their lives are strange if they don't hate themselves, and do they still expect them to avenge themselves?

To control oneself is to control all one's own power, and to let oneself go is to let go of all one's own power.

Latia knows Liu Zhang's thoughts, and also knows Liu Zhang's character, it is impossible to put such a big threat outside, and with such a big benefit, it is really impossible for him to leave, if he insists on leaving, there is only a dead end.

Lathia didn't want to die, so she could only give in and look at Liu Zhang with resentment: "Liu Zhang......"

"Even if we are in a cooperative relationship, you should call me His Royal Highness the King of Shu, haven't you seen that I have always called you Your Majesty?" Liu Zhang played with Latea's piccolo and said, this was taken down by Latia before bathing, except that the jade material was very expensive, Liu Zhang didn't see anything special, and gave up research.

"Shu, king, highness, majesty." Lathia said four words angrily: "You want me to cooperate with you, you can, but you control me in the hands of your people, how do I know if you will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and kill me after using me?" ”

"Am I such a despicable person in your heart?" Liu Zhang raised his head and asked.

"Yes." Lathia said without hesitation, when she fought with Ma Chao, she pitted Pang De over and over again, used Ma Yunlu, and used refugees from Chang'an to Hanzhong to set up an ambush, can Latia remember these things clearly, and the person in front of him is a little kind? I didn't believe her to death.

"Well, I'll tell you this, as long as you're honest and obedient. Successfully defeated the Wusun army. I can let you go. But there are a few conditions, first, you must first untie the shackles of the five thousand cavalry, and the five thousand cavalry, whether they are armor and short swords, or war horses, are all bought by my Shu merchants. ”

"But I exchanged those captives for the female general and the three snow cordyceps." Latia pointed to the tall Su Lan on the side and said, Su Lan lowered her head slightly, telling the truth. Su Lan was still a little grateful to Latia in her heart, when she was in exile in Guishan, Guishan was hostile to the Rest Empire at that time.

If it weren't for Latia's people who saw their figure and echoed Liu Zhang's recruitment conditions, they stole themselves from Guishan and sent them to Dahan, they would have died a long time ago, and Su Lan was satisfied with his current life, and he didn't have a bad feeling for the original human trafficker Latia.

"Shut up." Liu Zhang rudely interrupted Lathia and continued: "Handing over the five thousand cavalry to me is only one of the conditions, the second one. You must give up the hegemony of Shache, and the standing army of Shache cannot exceed three thousand. The small countries that were previously defeated by Shache and you, such as the West Nights, must restore the royal power.

Third, Shache must recognize the power of the Han over the Western Regions, and follow the example of the Tianshui Metropolitan Protectorate, a member of the Wuji Commandery's Division, and join the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate Branch established by the Great Han. ”

"You ......" Lathia was speechless in anger.

Liu Zhang was still wondering if these conditions were enough, although Latia herself had a strange skill, but if she proposed to knock out her teeth and cut off her tongue, she would definitely not do it.

And if there are no 5,000 cavalry, Shache's standing strength will also be reduced, and Latia will not be able to roll up the wind and waves even if she has a strange technique, because even if you can command a lot of poisonous insects, but without the strength of the guards, then the probability of you dying on the battlefield is too great, and Liu Zhang believes that Latia is not so stupid.

The reason why Latea's magic is so powerful now is because there are a large number of troops to protect it, and the enemy can't get close to Latia at all, so he has to be killed by those poisons.

Killing Latia is certainly the cleanest, but now the Sichuan army really can't complete the attack on the Elite Country independently, and needs Latea's assistance, and if you want her to assist, you must also give in a little.

Liu Zhang thought about it, felt that there was no problem, and said to Latea: "There is no room for bargaining with these conditions, if you agree to these conditions, our cooperation will start immediately, if you don't agree, you can choose to commit suicide." ”

For some reason, Lathia felt particularly disgusted with Liu Zhang's words, as if she was in her palm, and this feeling made Latia want to step forward and slap Liu Zhang a few times.

But the situation is stronger than people, Latia Sheng suppressed his impulse and said to Liu Zhang: "If I agree, will you really let me go in the end?" If you turn your face and don't recognize people at that time, where can I reason? ”

"You think I'm mean, but do you think I'm a man of my word?" Liu Zhang asked.

Latea was silent, remembering the experience in Dahan, although Liu Zhang was a little despicable and shameless, but what he said was a spit and a nail, just like Pang De at the beginning, after using others, even if Pang De was a fierce general, Liu Zhang still released him as promised.

If Liu Zhang really wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, the final conditions would not be so harsh.

"Okay, I promise you, but there is no need to cooperate, little Wusun Jun, I haven't put it in my eyes yet." Latia raised her eyebrows, glanced around at the generals of the Mantang Sichuan Army, and said to Liu Zhang disdainfully: "The Wusun Army is strong, you will definitely not be able to defeat the Elite City." However, it will be easy for my Lathia to take the Absolute City, and I only hope that you will really keep your word. ”

"You ......" At this time, the general of the Sichuan army was angry, so he stepped forward, but was stopped by Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang said to Latia in confusion: "You are a little girl, why are you so rampant?" The Wusun Army has an antidote, and your poison is useless to them. ”

As for the cavalry of Latia, Liu Zhang didn't bother to mention it, although it was very strong, it was also a plain battle, and it could still break through the exquisite city?

"What if there is an antidote? That's because they didn't see the real poisonous insect attack, and I'd like to see how long their medicine lasts. ”

After Latia finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Qu Lingchen and six very skilled soldiers followed.

Lathia was very depressed about the defeat in the first battle of Yamaguchi, she didn't expect to kill the Wusun army halfway, or tens of thousands, not only the number was large, but also killed, which led to the rapid defeat of the Shache army.

If Shache is prepared, the Chinese army will guard it well, and then Latia will perform his own magic, and Ren Wusun will not be able to consume himself with no amount of medicine. That's why Lathia has the confidence to conquer the Elite City in one fell swoop.

For Latia, he can quickly conquer the mastery. Liu Zhang is happy to see it. Latia is in their own hands, of course, the sooner they can conquer the better.

"You immediately go and investigate whether the Wusun Army is colluding with Guishuang, and send someone to bypass the Elite City to find out the whereabouts of the Yue Clan's Imperial Army, where it is now.

And how could the Wusun army led by Mitian be so powerful, as far as this king knows, the Wusun army is vulnerable. How can there be such a desperate Wusun army, if the Wusun army is so strong, Wusun will never be bullied by those small countries.

In addition, as far as I know, there is more than this army in Wusun's own country, it should be more than 40,000 people. ”

Not being able to know oneself and the other really made Liu Zhang a little uneasy, so he settled the camp, placed Shache's army on the side of the Sichuan army, and inspected the barracks to confirm that it was correct. Liu Zhang called a team of spies, and the spies left immediately after receiving the order.

That's when it happened. A general walked in: "My lord, Yeke, the elder brother of the general of the Shache army, Latya, wants to see Latia, and Mrs. Qu asks the lord to ask the lord if he wants them to meet." ”

"No." Liu Zhang said without raising his head, those prison escapes on TV are because relatives are allowed to visit, and finally bring this and that, and finally let the criminals escape, Liu Zhang is not fooled.

"But now the people of the Shacha soldiers are panicked, and they all feel that Lathia is under house arrest by us, and those Shache soldiers are very restless, and those soldiers who are controlled by Lathia are also very uneasy.

In particular, Yeke was very emotional, saying that we had done something to Latia, and that we were going to kill Lathia after using the Shache army, but Yeke said that he would not see Latia and would not listen to any orders from Latea, because it was all sent by us who had taken her hostage, and we still had to attack our army immediately. ”

"If he really cared about his sister, he wouldn't attack." Liu Zhang said a word, raised his head and let out a sigh, thinking in his heart that this would not work, if the Shache army did not cooperate, it would be really difficult to do, first of all, the unstable Shache army, the Sichuan army would have to spend a lot of effort to be vigilant, then how to fight.

knocked on his forehead and said: "That's it, we are allowed to meet, but Ye Ke must be searched, and he can't bring anything except clothes, Qu Lingchen and our Sichuan soldiers must be next to them when the two talk, and in addition, before the end of the war with Wusun, there is only this opportunity to talk." ”

"Yes." The general took the order and left.

At this time, Liu Zhang suddenly thought of a question, that Mitian is so smart, will he really be defeated by poison so easily as Lathia said?

……

"Your Majesty, have you been held hostage by them?"

Ye Ke glanced at Qu Lingchen and the Sichuan soldiers on the side unkindly, Qu Lingchen's face was calm and calm, and Latia also wanted to have a private chat with her brother for a while, but Qu Lingchen had Liu Zhang's instructions, even if she didn't leave, she had no choice.

Latia's deception has been deflated too many times in front of Liu Zhang, and the panic of a few years ago has been exposed every time, and the last time it was ostensibly deceived, but even Xiao Furong knew that Liu Zhang was deliberately tricked.

Latia knew that even if her tongue trembled, it would be useless in front of an unusually calm pervert like Liu Zhang, so she didn't use any deceptive means to let Qu Lingchen leave.

"Sort of." Lathia replied lightly.

"I ......"

"Sit down."

Lathia stopped Yeke, who was about to stand up and be ruthless, and said to Yeke: "It's good that you take your army, and after the battle, he will let me go." ”

"He's that kind?" Ye Ke obviously didn't believe that Liu Zhang would let Latia go lightly, although he didn't know Liu Zhang, but a kind person could sit in such a high position?

"I'm sure he won't break his word." Latia thought about it, and then told Ye Ke about Liu Zhang's conditions, and Ye Ke also showed anger, but this anger did not last long.

First of all, now that people are under the roof, their sisters are in the hands of the Sichuan army, it would be good to agree to release them, not to mention that if it weren't for the Sichuan army this time, the Shache army would have been wiped out, and my sister was already dead, what conditions would I talk about?

And the second point is because Ye Ke himself still likes the conditions proposed by Liu Zhang, Ye Ke is a different person and name, and he has no ambition at all, otherwise he would not have given up the throne and gave it to Latea.

Liu Zhang's condition was for Shache to reduce its strength and give up hegemony, which echoed Yeke's idea, Yeke felt that it was enough to guard a Shache, what kind of hegemony to fight? Tired and insecure.

"I hope this king of Shu can do what he says, but it's just ......" Ye Ke hesitated for a while, until Lathia was a little impatient, and then said: "Sister, I remember when you first asked for the throne, when you decided to cheat the Han army out of equipment and money, and when you raised an army to attack the first country, Qiuzi.

You have said one reason, you hope that the Shache Kingdom can talk to the Han army on an equal footing, and no longer need to send hostages as before, and the king of Shache can not look at the faces of the Han emperors or princes.

But now ......"

Ye Ke didn't finish speaking, everyone knew what he was going to say, now that Latia was controlled by the Han army, and was coerced to attack the Elite King City, and he had to accept humiliating conditions, this was too far from what Latia said about "equal dialogue".

Qu Lingchen on the side was also slightly moved, she really didn't expect this Latia to look like she was twenty years old, she was only eighteen years old when she first started the army, she had such big ambitions, in comparison, her ambitions were really small, oh, she had no ambitions at all, and now Qu Lingchen felt that as long as she could always follow Liu Zhang, she didn't care about anything.

Compared to Latea, I'm really ashamed.

Lathia was silent and didn't speak, and after a long time, she said, "Brother, you go, I'll take care of it myself." ”

Ye Ke sighed, turned around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Brother? "My sister has reverted to what she used to call herself, is the previous sister back? In contrast, Wild Ke also prefers the sister who used to be a little ghostly.

But Wild Ke looked back at Latea, Latia lowered her head and couldn't see any expression, Wild Ke only thought it was an illusion just now, shook his head and left.

Lathia looked at Yeke's back and bit her lip, many thoughts can only be buried in her heart, and she can't say it to anyone, and she must be high-sounding to others.

In fact, where is he so great and ambitious.

…………

In the early morning of the second day, in the city of Essence, the prince of Mitian and the generals of Wusun discussed matters.

Modarhan stood up and said to Mitian: "Your Highness, the origin of this army has been found. ”

Modalhan glanced at Mi Tian, who had closed his eyes and said nothing, before he said in a solemn tone: "This army is the expeditionary force of the Great Han, about 10,000 people. ”

"What? The expeditionary force of the Great Han is here? Isn't it east of Bailongdui? "The generals of Wusun were in an uproar, all of them were incredible, the Sichuan army and the Shache army did not expect to kill the Wusun army halfway, and the Wusun army did not expect to kill the Han expeditionary force halfway.
