Chapter 498: Persuasion from the city

"That's right."

Li Siye folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and said with a little thought: "According to the "Tang Law", I am the master of Daorou, and the master of the slave's marriage has the right to interfere or directly adjudicate, I can refuse your proposal, and you can not see her." ”

Kang Huaishun looked at Li Siye with a worried face, and his brows twisted into a pimple.

He changed his words: "However, I have always been benevolent and tolerant, so naturally I can't be so ruthless." Nor can I deprive you of the right to pursue love, nor can I make you think that because of my selfishness, I have cut off the slave and maid from the opportunity to fight for freedom and freedom from slavery. I can't be a wicked person who beats mandarin ducks. ”

"I'll give you a chance to ask Dao Rou in person, ask her what you said, and see if she is willing to follow you, if she does, I won't say a word, let her go and give you happiness. If she doesn't, then I can't help it. ”

Kang Huaishun was overjoyed, thinking that he could really pursue happiness, and thanked Li Siye again and again: "Thank you, General Li, I didn't expect you to be so deeply righteous, if Dao Rou knew that you had decided this, she would also be very grateful to you." ”

Li Siye nodded approvingly: "You're right, I also hope he will be grateful to me." It's not early, go to rest early, there may be a big battle tomorrow. ”

Kang Huaishun went with a thousand thanks, and Li Siye looked at his back and smiled, wondering if he would lose hope in life if he hit his head and broke the bloodstream.

In the early morning of the second day, the Tang army went up along the upper reaches of the Bole River and saw the city of Suole, which was located at the foot of the high mountain. The city of Suole was originally the capital of the Protector Country, and in the first year of Longshuo, the Protector of the Secret Country was attached, and the imperial court set up a state bowl and state here. Due to the Tang Dynasty's several battles in the Green Ridge area, the city of Suole has also changed hands several times, and in recent years it has been controlled by the Tubo people, so that Luo Zhentan, the protector of the secret country, can only be nomadic in the Green Ridge area.

This time, under the leadership of the Tang army, Humi finally had the opportunity to recapture the capital, and Lord Luo was also very excited, and asked Gao Xianzhi to take the lead in the battle.

Gao Xianzhi did not rush to attack, but put the three armies in front of the city and carefully looked at the city's defenses. Although the walls were reinforced, most of them were made of wooden rows, and their completeness was only as complete as the camp of an expeditionary army in the field.

This time, the Tang army used camels and horses to transport dry food, and also brought a large number of bows and crossbows and arrows, and he expected that if the persuasion failed, he should first put a few rounds of arrows to suppress it, but the herdsmen and livestock in the city would be unlucky.

Gao Xianzhi ordered all the Tubo prisoners to be taken to the front, and asked Zong Lu to stand up first and shout towards the head of the city: "Kagaru Dongdai Dongben, the Tang army asked me to bring you a message, please stand up and speak!"

There was no one in the city to respond, but there was a murmuring noise.

Gao Xianzhi thought that there was no need to worry, because the initiative was in his hands, and it was only a matter of time before Suole City fell into his hands, he wanted to reduce casualties, and in order to shorten the time of the war, he could waste some time.

"Zong Lu, continue to shout to the city, tell them that they can negotiate terms for surrendering now, if they wait for the Tang army to attack the city, I am afraid they will be killed!"

Li Siye was quite skeptical in his heart, can such simple intimidation work, and he is quite familiar with the wording of intimidation, he used to watch costume movies, and the villains in the TV series seem to be intimidating under the city like this, as if he can't accept it.

Zong Lu continued to shout: "Ka Glu Dongben, as long as you are willing to surrender, the Tang Army will definitely guarantee your safety." ”

Someone in the city finally shouted: "Brothers of the Tang Army, we Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are each other's nephews and uncles, we are all a family, why do we need to use swords and guns, in fact, we are not willing to be stationed in this bitter cold place, hoping to withdraw to Tibet." I hope that the Tang army can give us a chance, you retreat to the north bank of Bole River, we take the initiative to go out of the city, withdraw from Tanju Ridge, and also take the initiative to withdraw from the small Bolu country, what do you think? ”

Only a fool would believe this, once the Tang army retreated to the north bank of the Bole River, as long as there were 1,000 people in Tibet guarding the river, they would not be able to fly with their wings.

Gao Xianzhi ordered Kang Huaishun to also go up and raise his voice to persuade him to surrender: "Ka Ge Lu Dongben!" As long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, the Tang Army can give you high-ranking officials, and I hope you can think about it. The deadline I give you is Chenshi, as long as the Chenshi is over and you haven't surrendered, the Tang army will attack the city. ”

After a round of persuasion, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the Tubo army stuck in the city no longer sent people out to shout, but Zong Lu was still standing under the city, shouting loudly to persuade him to surrender, and even his voice was almost hoarse.

Li Siye secretly guessed why Zong Lu was willing to work so hard to persuade him to surrender, maybe you can imagine that he has people who care very much about this city? And Kagaru himself didn't know about it, because according to the urine nature of the Tibetan people, they knew that you had joined the enemy, and they had to pull your family out and kill them.

This may have been the reason why Kagaru was reluctant to surrender, and he was stationed here with his army, and his family was still in the cities of Tibet. If he surrendered, his family's lives would be at risk. But if he dies heroically, not only will his family not be threatened, but he will also be rewarded with a bereavement pension.

Thinking of this, Li Siye finally found a way to attack his heart, walked forward with his legs between the belly of the horse and walked forward to a stone's throw away from the city, opened his voice and shouted in a louder voice: "Ka Ge Lu Dongben, behind this Suole City is Tanju Ridge, if the Tang army blocks the news, no news will spread to Xiao Bolu behind the mountain range, let alone Da Bolu and Tubo farther away." If the Tang army deliberately created and spread the news, any news could also reach Tibet. So whether you surrender or die, Tang Jun can use the topic to create news! ”

"Think about it yourself, even if you die of martyrdom, the Tang army can create false news of your surrender, as long as it is transmitted to Tibet, even if you are wronged, you will be framed as treason and defection to the enemy, and your family members will still be pulled out and killed one by one."

"On the contrary, if you can abandon the darkness and turn to the Tang Dynasty, we can not only help you conceal the news, let you remain incognito, and even spread the false news of your martyrdom to Tibet, your life can be saved, your good name can be preserved, and your family can also be preserved, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!"

A majestic man in iron armor appeared at the head of the city, and this man was Kagru, his face was bruised, and he shouted angrily downward: "You treacherous brutes! What is fake is what is fake, and it can never be true! ”

"A lie told a thousand times can become the truth, Kagru Donben, you don't want to try it for yourself!"

The city fell silent, the stout man clutched the rammed earth on the city wall, and his mind seemed to be making a difficult choice, Li Siye stopped his verbal offensive in time, believing that the result would be imminent.

"Let me think about it."

"Okay," Li Siye said in a loud voice: "Then take noon as the boundary, and wait until noon, if you don't reply, we will attack the city." ”

He turned his horse's head and returned to the military formation, and the superintendent of the army Bian Lingcheng praised in a strange manner: "General Li's attack plan is really clever, even our family is shocked when they hear it, it is best to be able to take the city of Suole without blood." ”

Gao Xianzhi also nodded lightly: "I think it should be okay, Li Siye's words have hit Kaglu's soft underbelly." ”

The red sun gradually rose into the sky, the sunlight under this high mountain was particularly dazzling, the Tang army waited patiently in front of the city of Suole, as the long time passed slowly, Gao Xianzhi finally looked up at the sun, and drew a horizontal knife from his waist: "It seems that they are determined not to surrender, and are ready to attack the city!" ”

"Wait."

A large banner at the head of the city of Sale slowly fell, and the flagpole was thrown under the city, and the gate made an obscure rumbling sound, and slowly opened to both sides.
