Ten days later.

Tibet, under the city of Luo.

The Hanzhou army came slowly, waving the flag, and the military was panicked.

A group of generals surrounded Qin Huaidao and walked forward, came to the back room of the city, and rode forward, shouting: "Let Lu Dongzan get out and answer." ”

The sound was like thunder, shaking in all directions.

Lu Dongzan had already led people on the city wall, looking at the Hanzhou army with a strong fighting spirit, looking at the majestic and tall familiar figure, his mood was extremely complicated, and he finally got what he wanted, ready to take revenge in his heart, but he never thought that the soldiers would come to the royal city.

A sense of loss and grievance welled up in my heart.

Back then, in Chang'an City, wine was talked about the world, but now it has become a great enemy of life and death.

For the sake of the family, for the ideals, and for the sake of survival, Lu Dongzan pressed his complicated thoughts and shouted: "King Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, okay?" ”

Qin Huaidao shook the reins and stepped forward, and shouted loudly: "Lu Dongzan, this king eats well and sleeps well, but I don't know if you can eat and sleep well after the soldiers come to the city?" ”

It seems that an old friend is doing home, but in fact, it is secretly witty.

Thinking that the 300,000 army was all wiped out, the great rivers and mountains in the north were attacked, and the life and death of his favorite son were uncertain, Lu Dongzan's heart was like a knife, in the end, it was an old fox, the city was very deep, and his self-control was extremely strong, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and asked: "King Han, may you retreat?" ”

"Want to make peace?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

No one answered on the city wall, peace was a sensitive topic, Lu Dongzan didn't dare to admit it, he could only use the "retreat" to test, the Tubo army was only 600,000, on Qinling took away 300,000 elites, no one came back, the remaining 300,000 can fight no more than half, the rest are forcibly recruited slaves, are recruits, and have no chance of winning.

can negotiate peace, Lu Dongzan really doesn't want to fight.

If the peace agreement is not reached, and the Hanzhou army is unwilling to retreat, it can use life and death to motivate the three armies to share the same hatred for the enemy.

I have to say that the old fox is the old fox, and he is calculating.

Qin Huaidao guessed Lu Dongzan's thoughts as soon as he pondered slightly, and shouted: "Before discussing peace, you and I will make a deal first, and exchange the Qinling Tomb for those who have been captured from the Tang Kingdom, how about it?" ”

"Really?"

Lu Dongzan was overjoyed, and he was worried that there was no one in the army to command, and when Qinling returned, the defense of the royal city had a better chance of winning, and as for the captured prisoners, they would not object to handing over those noble lords, and they could save a lot of food.

Fang Yiai shouted with some surprise when she heard this: "King Han, will you let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "It's just a general of the defeated army, there are two major advantages to putting it back, one is that Qinling has been defeated repeatedly, he has no prestige, and it is difficult to convince the public, after he goes back, with his status and status, he will definitely take over the defense of the royal city, what will happen if a commander who can't convince the people takes over the defense?" ”

"There must be discord between the generals and soldiers." Fang Yiai blurted out, and his eyes lit up.

"That's right, on Qinling's return is not to let the tiger return to the mountain, but to create contradictions, which is beneficial to our army, second, on Qinling has been killed, once he takes over the command, he will inevitably be indecisive, difficult to make decisions, such a person is the commander, the army's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, and it is also beneficial to our army."

"It makes sense, King Han is wise!" Fang Yiai said sincerely.

On the city wall, Lu Dongzan looked at the courtiers.

The ministers were silent, most of the slaves who had been captured had been divided and turned into private property, and they were not willing to hand it over again, but Lu Dongzan's face could not be directly contradicted, and the defenders in the city did need a commander to take command.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Lu Dongzan waited patiently for a while, and when he saw that everyone was reluctant to get the benefits, his face sank, and he reminded coldly: "Everyone, once the city is broken, with the means of the King of Han, I am afraid that no one will be able to live, and the destruction of the family is just around the corner, is it important to be a slave, or is it important to hold the royal city?" ”

Zan Xiruo also saw everyone's thoughts and reminded: "You don't think that after the city is broken, the King of Han needs everyone's support and won't kill indiscriminately, right?" Once the city is broken, my royal family will not be able to escape again, and none of you present will want to get out, think about Tuyuhun. ”

After Tuyuhun was taken by the Hanzhou army, all the nobles and high-ranking officials were purged, and their families were exterminated, leaving ordinary soldiers and ordinary people to facilitate management.

In this era of low literacy rate, the common people are accustomed to being ruled and managed, and without the aristocracy and high-level secretly pestering, fanning, and the possibility of rebellion is extreme, Qin Huaidao has no choice, and those who do not surrender can only be killed.

Naturally, the news also spread to the Tubo Royal City.

When everyone heard Zan Xiruo's words, their faces changed greatly, they had been in a high position for a long time, they were used to power, no one was willing to give up the power in their hands to surrender and be a slave, let alone die, so they nodded their heads one by one.

Lu Dongzan glanced at Zan Xiruo with satisfaction, and then said: "Leave it to you to deal with, be sure to rescue your second brother, and my father will go back to the palace first to wait for news." ”

"Father and king go slowly, and the son will do it well." Zan Xiruo agreed.

After the ministers left, Zan Xiruo shouted: "King Han, it's been a long time!" ”

Qin Huaidao saw that it was an old acquaintance who praised Xiruo, and this guy was also an old fox, so he asked: "Last time I fought a battle, this king shouldn't have good intentions, he should have killed all of your clan, and there are not so many things now, but it's not too late, let's say, how do you want to die?" ”

"King Han doesn't need to be so angry, can you still count the exchange that he proposed just now?"

"This king has always been a man of his word, you release people first, this king needs to make sure that there is no less than one before he talks about Qinling, don't try to talk about the conditions, give you a stick of incense time to consider." Qin Huaidao said as he pulled the war horse back.

Fang Yiai hurriedly followed and whispered, "King Han, who was that bastard just now?" ”

"Zanxiruo, the eldest son of Lu Dongzan, is also the current prince of Tubo."

"I see, I'll take his head off when I get back."

Qin Huaidao couldn't help but look at Fang Yiai, this guy is simply the killer of the Tubo prince, the nemesis, Lu Dongzan's five sons, three died at the hands of this guy, and couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll wait." ”

"Haha, King Han can rest assured!" Fang Yiai said excitedly.

Back in the main formation, everyone was very curious why Qin Huaidao would hand over the Lunqin Tomb for the sake of the captured people, the captured people were as humble as mustard, useless, and not worth it.

But no one asked much, questioning Qin Huaidao's decision.

There was only one voice from top to bottom of the Hanzhou army, and Qin Huaidao's prestige was killed.

Qin Huaidao didn't explain, and solemnly advised: "If Tubo releases people in a while, Luo Zhang is on the left, Xue Wanche is on the right, to prevent Tubo from taking the opportunity to make trouble, Liu Hongji will take people to take over, check the number of people, and be sure to ask if there is anyone missing, so as to avoid Tubo from making less friends and deducting prisoners, they are all the people of the Tang Kingdom, and no one can be missing." ”

"Obey!" The three of them arrived solemnly.

Liu Hongji was old, and his physical strength and energy were not as good as those of the younger generation, so Qin Huaidao used his rich experience in commanding troops to appoint him as the commander of the baggage army, responsible for logistics, food and grass, treatment, prisoner management, and recruit training.
