Chapter 36 The Destruction of Zhongtianzhu

The Tang army showed strong combat power, far from being comparable to the Tianzhu army, and there was no future in fighting the Tang army, and peace talks were a good way.

"Is it possible to negotiate peace? Didn't you talk to each other last time? "Some ministers hesitated.

As early as when the Tang army assembled on the Tianzhu border, Alona sent Xin Li to Luo for peace talks, but Li Longji refused, which made many ministers very worried.

"If we can't beat the Tang Army, if we can't negotiate peace, what else can we do?"

"Even if the peace talks don't succeed, the situation won't get worse, so you can try."

There are many ministers who strongly support it.

The Tang army has already invaded Zhongtianzhu, and it will not be long before it will appear in Wangshe City, and by then, Zhongtianzhu is likely to perish. The situation is bad enough, and even if the peace talks are not successful, it will not be worse, so it is better to try. If the peace talks are successful, it will be a surprise, and if they cannot be successful, it will be like this, and there will be no loss.

"Reasonable, reasonable." Alona strongly agreed.

"My lord, since you want to negotiate peace, you must send someone of great weight to you. The last time I sent Xin Li there, it was a mistake, and I should have sent important ministers at that time, maybe it would have succeeded. "There is a minister who immediately supports him.

Xin Li's official position in Zhongtianzhu is not high, his power is limited, and he can't be the master of many things, so it was really a mistake to send him last time. Arona nodded in approval and said, "Who should I send?" ”

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and my eyes fall on the prime minister.

"The king, it is the duty of a minister to share worries for the king and go to difficulties for the country. It's just that the ministers occasionally feel the cold. Feeling unwell. It is not advisable to travel long distances. The prime minister's face changed drastically, and he was busy making excuses.

Just kidding, to negotiate with the Tang Army is to go to the abyss of the unexpected, it is likely that there will be no return, how can the prime minister have the courage to go.

"My lord, it's unfortunate that you're not feeling well. But right now, the national crisis is at hand. Please also support your sick body and run for the country. Who would not understand what he meant, and immediately there was a minister to "persuade".

"Don't say that the wind is cold, that is, you are seriously ill, and you have to rush to it when the national disaster is at hand. I want to worry about the country, but my official position is too small to worry about the country. ”

"Yes, yes, if only my position was big enough. If I can compare with the prime minister, I would rather go. ”

Many ministers chimed in.

"You ......," the prime minister was eager to smack them in the mouth. It's a damn thing, you guys are fooling around.

Alona's eyes were fixed on the prime minister, his face sank, and he said: "Asami, when the national disaster is at hand, if you, the prime minister, can't go to the national disaster and share my worries, what use do I want you?" ”

These words were heavy enough, and Asami didn't dare to do it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "In this case, the minister is willing to take a trip." But what kind of price can we pay? ”

Negotiation requires bargaining chips, if Zhongtianzhu's price is not enough, this peace negotiation is useless, this matter has to be finalized first.

"As long as the Tang army retreats, it is easy to say any kind of price, even if it is to cede Beitianzhu to the Tang Dynasty." Arona thought for a moment and offered a bid.

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't work." Asami hurriedly said: "Bei Tianzhu is already under the iron hooves of the Tang Army, we are also from the Tang Dynasty if we don't cede it, and this price is not the same." ”

The Tang army has conquered North Tianzhu and is marching towards Zhongtianzhu, and there is a difference between ceding and not ceding North Tianzhu. It is conceivable that if Zhongtianzhu uses this as a price to negotiate peace, it will inevitably not succeed.

"That is, to cede some more land in Zhongtianzhu, as long as I can keep the throne and leave hope." Arona's face was ugly, and although Asami's words were true, they were too straightforward to make him uncomfortable.

Fifty years ago, when Wang Xuance swept Tianzhu, even the city of Wangshe was captured, and A Luoshun was captured alive, and Zhongtianzhu was hit hard. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xuance's troops were too small, and the Tang Dynasty was unable to occupy Tianzhu at that time and had to retreat, it would be impossible for Zhongtianzhu to restore the country.

Now, more than 200,000 Tang troops have swept through Tianzhu, and if they can keep the throne, it will be a great luck in misfortune.

"In that case, the minister will go." Asami sighed and said helplessly.

Arona ordered a generous gift to be prepared and given to Asami to take with him, urging Asami to set off again and again. Assami was reluctant, but had to move.

"Rumble." The Tang army advanced rapidly, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, splashing large patches of smoke and dust.

Li Longji stood beside the horse road and looked at the rapidly advancing Tang army, only to see that the Tang army was in high spirits, with high morale and a blazing fighting spirit.

The most morale-boosting thing is not the nice words and clever words, nor the empty promises, but the victory!

The greater the victory, the more morale will be boosted!

Since the Tang army entered Tianzhu, it has been like a bamboo, capturing large areas of land, and the good news is one after another, this is a series of victories, and the morale of the Tang army is not high.

"Prince, the envoy of Zhongtianzhu asks to see you." The human spirit Gaolishi was busy to report.

"Envoy?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You're here to ask for peace, right?" ”

"Yes." Gao Lishi had a smile on his face and said, "It was Prime Minister Zhongtianzhu who came in person, and Zhongtianzhu broke his courage." ”

That's right. If Zhongtianzhu had confidence, he would not have made peace talks with the Tang Dynasty. If Zhong Tianzhu had not been forced to a dead end, he would not have sent an important minister like the prime minister to negotiate.

"Call him." Li Longji commanded.

Gao Lishi responded and hurriedly went to lead people.

"Zhang said, you are resourceful, tell me, how to deal with this matter?" Li Longji turned his head and asked Zhang, who was stationed on the side of the horse.

Zhang Shuo frowned, groaned slightly, and said: "Prince, I thought we had to be tough, and we couldn't agree to Zhongtianzhu's sum, so we had to make a bid." ”

"Tell me more." Chu Nan knew that Zhang Shuo must have unique opinions.

"After we entered Tianzhu, we were like a bamboo along the way, and we won the North Tianzhu in less than a month, which is really amazing, even if I put a lot of effort into Tianzhu, I didn't expect Zhongtianzhu to be so vulnerable. This march to Tianzhu was tantamount to a march, and there were almost no hard battles. Zhang said with some emotion.

"yes, that's not what I expected." Li Longji greatly agreed with this, nodded and said: "I know that the combat power of the Tianzhu army is low, but I didn't expect it to be so low, no wonder Wang Xuance was able to use the borrowed tens of thousands of troops to sweep half of Tianzhu back then." ”

Li Longji was very sure that the Tang Dynasty would definitely be able to conquer Tianzhu, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and the Tianzhu army was vulnerable and collapsed. Its shun lì cheng dù is far beyond Li Longji's imagination.

"According to our progress, it won't be long before we can win Zhongtianzhu. We can get the whole Zhongtianzhu, why accept the sum of Zhongtianzhu? Zhang Shuo had a smile on his face and said, "You can take this opportunity to make Zhong Tianzhu surrender." ”

"How do you do that?" If Zhongtianzhu can be allowed to surrender, it will also be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and it will be of great benefit.

Because this will make the other Tianzhu kingdoms afraid, and at the same time, it will also create less killing and less hatred, so as to facilitate the next governance.

"We just need a strong response." Zhang said his idea and said, "The prince only needs to intimidate the people who come, and then give Luo a little hope." ”

"Zhang said, you are really yin enough, you beat and pull." Li Longji said with a smile.

Just then, Colliers arrived with Asami.

"Asami has seen the Prince." When Asami saw Li Longji, a kind smile appeared on his face, and the smile was piled up layer after layer, as if he had seen an old ancestor, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, his forehead touching the ground, as respectful as he wanted.

Li Longji didn't seem to see Asami, and he didn't ask him to get up.

This caused Assami a great deal of stress and made his heart tremble.

Li Longji didn't tell him to get up, he didn't dare to get up, so he had to kneel honestly. Time passed silently, and Asami's legs went numb on her knees.

"You're here to make peace, aren't you?" Li Longji said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes. Please also ask the prince to give ......" Asami secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't have time to listen to you grind your teeth, go back and tell Arona that if he surrenders, he will save his family's life. If he doesn't descend, hum! Aroshun is his example. Li Longji said coldly.

After saying a word, he didn't give Asami a chance to speak, and rode away.

"Prince......" Asami wanted to speak, but Li Longji had already left. Asami stayed in the area and could not make a sound.

He was ordered to come to sue for peace, but unfortunately, Li Longji didn't give him a chance at all, not even a chance to speak, and the Tang Dynasty was very strong in destroying Tianzhu.

After a long time, Asami reacted and hurried back.

Along the way, Asami did not stop, and finally rushed back to the royal house.

"Prime Minister, how's it going? Have the peace talks been successful? As soon as Arona heard that Asami had returned, he immediately greeted him, and shouted from afar, with a look of anticipation.

The ministers' eyes were focused on Asami, their eyes glazed over, eager to pull the answer out of his mouth.

"Hey." Asami sighed softly.

The hearts of the people have fallen to the bottom.

"Maybe? How good is that? Arona's heart was so frightened that her eyes were so black that she almost fainted.

"My lord, Li Longji said that as long as you surrender, you can save your life...... "Asami said.

"What? Surrender? A scream rang out, and the ministers were all shocked.

"Surrender?" Arona's hard way.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If the king does not descend, Aroshun is your example. At this point, Asami simply told the truth.

"......" Arona's mouth was wide open, and she couldn't speak for a long time, with a frightened face.

A Luoshun was captured alive by Wang Xuance and escorted back to Chang'an, which was terrible.

It is not impossible to become the second Aroshun, but it is very possible. Wang Xuance only used tens of thousands of patchwork of miscellaneous troops to capture A Luoshun alive, and Li Longji had more than 200,000 elites, couldn't he do it?

If Li Longji can't do it, A Luoshun can only wipe his neck by himself. It's useless to run away, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, the Tang army will chase after him.

Didn't Luo Shun also flee to Dongtianzhu back then? It's not for Wang Xuance to be captured.

"Then let's go down." After a long time, Arona said bitterly. (To be continued......)
