Chapter 221: Pressure

"It's not just the pressure, it's just the top of Mount Tai. Wu Yingying said with a smile, "But no matter how much pressure there is, waiting for the imperial court to return to and from the court, it will be a matter of many days later, since this is the case, then we have to solve the Liangzhou Tubo that is close at hand before the imperial court reacts.

Yu Fu Renliang immediately said: "As long as the lord gives an order, my White Feather Battalion sergeant will immediately get on his horse and set off, without delay." All the lieutenants also expressed their determination, as if all the battalions of the Lanzhou Army were mechanical soldiers beaten with iron, Wu Yingying couldn't help laughing: "If the sergeants are really as strong as you say, I would like to conquer Liangzhou now, so let's go back first, count the casualties of the sergeants, and the weapons and heavy grain and grass that need to be replenished, and go to Shazhou to replenish before solving the problem of Liangzhou Tubo." At this time, Shazhou was still under the control of the Cao family of the Guiyi army, but the internal discord of the Guiyi army had been in discord for a long time, according to Zhang Zhongyao, among the eight towns in Erzhou, there were four dissatisfied with the Cao family, and they were secretly in contact with the Zhang family. It is because Shazhou is already a ripe peach for Wu Yingying, and as long as the trunk is shaken, it will fall. The defeat of the Ganzhou Uighurs was a shock to the generals of the Shazhou Guiyi Army.

Then, Wu Yingying summoned the Uighur envoy Zhai Fu of Ganzhou, this person has yellow hair and blue eyes, but he is proficient in Chinese, the so-called heaven is not afraid of the earth, he is afraid of foreigners speaking Chinese, and it is this kind of person who speaks Chinese, and Chinese can scare you into a fanbang person. Dressed in a white robe commonly used by the Uighurs, a peaked felt hat, leather boots, and a leather belt around his waist, he smiled at the sight of Wu Yingying, "Has the general thought it through? Princess Elida is the most beautiful flower in our Uighur tribe, and she is a perfect match for a hero like the general." ”

Wu Yingying smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness, but my soldiers said that the matter between men will be solved first, and then talk about women, you go back and tell Jingqiong Khan that he will surrender unconditionally to our army before the sun is over tomorrow, and I will protect his daughter." ”

Zhai Fu's face froze, he fully understood what Wu Yingying meant, and wanted to argue for a few sentences, Wu Yingying said again: " At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Uighur soldiers in Suzhou City all walked out of the city with their bare hands, and entered the camp specially built for the captives under the guidance and supervision of our army. There is no sin in their hands, and I don't mind letting them continue to live and work in Hexi. If Jingqiong Khan did not agree to surrender, then after three o'clock in the afternoon, our army would begin to attack the city. There you go. After speaking, he waved his hand and let Zhai Fu push down, the defeated are not qualified to speak of conditions.

After listening to Zhai Fu's retelling of the conditions, Jingqiong Khan patted the case and said: "It's too much to deceive people. Angrily pulled out his scimitar and swung it a few times out of thin air, scaring Zhai Fu, who was born a businessman, into a cold sweat. Prime Minister Dong Tu knew his temperament very well, and asked in a deep voice: "As you can see, how is the siege equipment of the Lanzhou army built?" While saying, he glanced at Zhai Fu, Zhai Fu understood, he had been blindfolded and walked around in the Lanzhou military camp, and did not see any siege equipment, but said in anticipation: "Nearly a thousand stone throwing machines have been built in the Lanzhou army, and the stones with large grinding plates are piled up like a mountain, and Wu Yingying even claimed that if our army does not surrender, he will first bombard the Suzhou city wall into the ground." At that time, the Han army in the Central Plains mostly used bed crossbows to attack the city, and the stone thrower was transmitted from Persia, which was common in the Uighur army, and later introduced to the party and derived a whirlwind cannon that could follow the movement of the cavalry. Dong Tu, the Uighur prime minister, asked again: "Is the Lanzhou cavalry light and good at walking, and can catch up with my Uighur heroes?" Zhai Fu said with a sad face: "Yes, the Lanzhou army doesn't know how, the cavalry is full of good horses, and there are many warriors of the grassland tribes who are involved in it, and the light horses come and go like the wind, I am afraid that they are better than my Hexi Uighurs." Dong Tu asked again: "According to your opinion, Wu Yingying can talk and count, if my Uighur relatives have all the sins in their hands, he will not be afraid of raising tigers?" Zhai Fu made up a lot of nonsense, and his courage also increased, and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, then Wu Yingying's subordinates are all fierce generals like wolves and tigers, and they can kill people with their eyes, how can he be afraid that our subordinates will be defeated and make trouble." Instead, he declared that if our army did not return to obedience at three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, he would slaughter all the Uighur tribes in Hexi, leaving not a single breath behind. ”

"Enough!" Jingqiong Khan shouted loudly, sweat trickling down his cheeks, green tendons on the back of his hands, silent for a long time, sat down dejectedly, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, bring the governors of all the troops in the city, and everyone will discuss." "This once ambitious, uninhibited Uighur Khan now looks extremely old.

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Dong Tu knelt on the ground and admonished loudly, "how important the matter of surrendering is in battle, there is a saying in the Book of Changes of the Han people, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his life." At present, the army of Lanzhou is besieging the city, and the various departments in the city are suspicious, some of the town generals have connived at the slaughter of the Han people before, and they are burdened with heavy blood debts, and they will not surrender, saying that they must support the army to make a rebellion, and some of the town generals are fighting the idea of holding the king hostage to Lanzhou in exchange for glory and wealth, although there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but there are undercurrents everywhere. If the king summons this group of ill-intentioned people to discuss major matters, he is afraid that it will be too late to regret it!" This Dong Tu really has some ability, and he actually cried bitterly as he spoke, as if it was not enough to show his incomparable loyalty to Jingqiong Khan.

Jing Qiong's face was pale, he was old and frail, and all the Uighur tribes in Ganzhou were gearing up to seize the sweat position, and they were constantly fighting in private. He also held the idea of "after I die, who cares about the flood", and was happy to contain these wolf cubs with sharp teeth and claws, but when the edifice was about to collapse, he found that his control over his command was simply weak and pitiful. Thinking of the various tragic methods used by the Uighurs to fight for the throne, Jing Qiong was shocked, and secretly said in her heart, maybe Ali Dai handed over to that powerful Wu hero, but would treat her well. He sat weakly on the ground and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, then according to the prime minister's words, summon the governors of all towns to the government to discuss matters, first detain them all, and then send relatives and henchmen to arrange for all departments to find the conditions of Wu Yingying in Lanzhou and disarm them from the city." ”

Prime Minister Dong Tu was quite proud in his heart, withdrew, and grabbed the envoy Zhai Fu, who was about to leave for the Lanzhou camp immediately.

Zhai Fu witnessed Dong Tu turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, and he worked hard to promote peace talks, and he was a little more wary of Dong Tu, and bowed respectfully and said, "What else does the prime minister command?"

Dong Tu had a faint smile on his face, a little unfathomable, and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever seen clearly the process of persuading Wang Shang to surrender Lord Wu Yingying of Lanzhou with the city. ”

Zhai Fu replied: "The prime minister is a great hero and a great hero who saved the 300,000 Uighurs of my Ganzhou from fire and water for the sake of the safety and survival of my Uighur tribes. He thought that Dong Tu was afraid that he would leak out the process of promoting peace, so he gave away a high hat, and he couldn't wait to kneel down and hug Dong Tu's thigh and shout, Prime Minister I and you are in the same group.

Dong Tu sneered, his head slightly closer to Zhai Fu, and admonished: "If Lord Wu Yingying asks about what happened here, you have to tell him in detail," he saw Zhai Fu was slightly stunned, and said, "Glory and wealth, just between your lips and tongue, do you know?" Zhai Fu suddenly realized that this politician was more likely to defect than a prostitute, but Dong Tu wanted to sell himself to Wu Yingying with the first credit of persuading the Uighur Khan to surrender, and he was busy with gratitude and whispered: "The grace of the prime minister's support, the lower officials are grateful." I am willing to serve the dogs and horses. ”
