535 The Fall of the Arab Empire (M)
"Come on, I can still drink!" Ah Dupu sat up from the bed and realized that he was not in the city of Damascus.
"Your Excellency, are you awake?"
Ah, Dupu's retinue handed him a glass of milk.
"Ping Guogong of Datang said that when you wake up, I will give you this drink, and your stomach will be a little more comfortable."
Ah Dupu drank the milk, looked at it and saw that it was dark outside, and asked in surprise, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
The attendant counted the time and said, "It's been almost ten hours, I've been sleeping since noon, and it's almost midnight now." ”
Ah, Dupu raised his forehead, he usually drinks a lot, but it's the first time I've been so drunk.
These Tang generals obviously didn't allow themselves to open the mouth of peace talks, so they got themselves drunk.
At this time, those Tang generals are naturally resting, and it is impossible to talk to themselves.
I touched my forehead, I still have a headache, forget it, take a rest and talk about it tomorrow!
Thinking so, Dupu fell asleep again.
The next morning, Dupu was awakened by the shelling.
When I woke up, I remembered that I was not in the city of Damascus, so I didn't have to be so worried about the shells falling on my head.
No, cannonballs?
Ah Dupu, like twenty years younger, jumped out of bed with a thud, and rushed out disheveled.
"Ah, Lord Dupu, what's wrong with you?" Tang Ping looked at Ah Dupu, who was panting and being treated, and asked.
"Lord Pingguo, what are you doing here?" Ah Dupu has a good memory, Tang Ping introduced it yesterday, and he basically remembered everyone's name and title.
"Siege!" Tang Ping said as a matter of course: "Your Emperor His Majesty is unwilling to surrender, we can only continue to attack Damascus City until he surrenders!" ”
After speaking, Tang Ping blocked it with his hand, and whispered in Ah Dupu's ear: "But don't worry, our cannon is to hit the city wall, it sounds powerful, but it won't hurt the people in the city." ”
Ah, Dupu's eyes are glazed, is this a question of whether it will hurt the people in the city?
I came to you yesterday for peace talks, and this morning you opened fire on time inside, so didn't I come in vain?
Thinking like this, he remembered that it seemed that he had really come in vain yesterday, and he was drunk by the generals of the Tang Dynasty without saying anything.
So he hurriedly spoke: "Ping Guogong, tell your people to stop, I came to the Tang camp to negotiate peace with you on behalf of the Arab Empire!" ”
"Are you here for peace talks?" Tang Ping looked at him strangely, and then patted his head: "Yes, yes, your entourage said that you were going to come to the peace talks, but after you came, you just drank and forgot about it." ”
Ah Dupu has a bitterness in his heart and can't say it, is he going to drink alone? You didn't give me a chance to speak.
Tang Ping raised his hand: "Let's get here first for today's attack, come, please come over and participate in the peace talks with Lord Dupu." ”
So saying, he led Ah Dupu to the big table from yesterday.
Ah Dupu's legs went weak when he saw this big table, and he even wanted to vomit.
Pulling Tang Ping's sleeve and said, "Ping Guogong, let's ...... Let's talk about peace talks today. ”
"It's about peace talks, but we Datang are used to talking about things while eating and drinking! Ah, Lord Dupu is here with us, shouldn't he follow the local customs? ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to drink, Dupu was weak, but Tang Ping said that he wanted him to follow the customs, what could he do?
Could it be that Tang Ping and them shook their faces and said that Lao Tzu would not drink today, so let's talk about things first??
You're tired of living, aren't you?? There is no way, Ah Dupu can only feel what is the wine table culture of China again.
Not to mention, Tang Ping said that everyone is used to drinking to relieve hangover, and there is really a little bit of truth.
In the end, Dupu didn't get drunk directly like yesterday, but he was a little dizzy.
"Ah, Lord Dupu, why don't we talk to each other?" Tang Ping and the others glanced at each other and smiled.
"Let's talk, anyway, we have so much money in Damascus, if you are willing to negotiate peace, all this money is yours, please withdraw from the army!" Ah, Dupu said with his tongue wide open.
"So, Lord Dupu, do you want to talk to each other?" Tang Ping asked in a whisper beside him.
Ah Dupu covered his mouth with his hand, leaned into Tang Ping's ear and said, "Who wants to talk about peace?" Now except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one wants peace talks. ”
"Just you know what? If the peace talks don't succeed, he wants to kill my head, what do you think I can do? ”
Although he leaned into Tang Ping's ear, the voice was not small.
Fortunately, the others couldn't understand what he said, only his entourage turned pale with fright.
Tang Ping smiled and asked his entourage to help him down to rest, and figured out what the Arab nobles thought, and the rest of the matter would be easy to handle.
When Ah Dupu woke up again, his entourage repeated what he and Tang Ping had said again, and the Ah Dupu people were numb.
I didn't want to say that at the time, why did I say what was in my heart??
He woke up early today, it was not dark yet, he looked out, and then found Tang Ping at the dinner table.
"Yo, old man is awake, come on, we just have dinner!"
"Ping Guogong, I really can't drink it!" Ah, Dupu said as he touched his stomach and trembled.
"Don't drink, drink porridge, come quickly!"
Seeing the white porridge on the table, Ah Dupu's heart moved, these two meals were basically just drinking, and there was nothing to eat, how uncomfortable it was to be in this stomach.
With Tang Ping, I snorted and drank the porridge to make it a little more comfortable.
He looked at Tang Ping and said straight to the point: "Ping Guogong, let's talk straight, what do you think, give me a good time." ”
Tang Ping looked at him and said with a smile: "Ah, Lord Dupu's job should be to be a diplomat who deals with various countries, right?" ”
Ah, Dupu nodded.
"How much of the territory of this Arab empire belonged to other countries in the past?"
Ah Dupu didn't know why Tang Ping asked, thought for a while and said: "In the past few decades, the Arab Empire has annexed about ten or twenty countries in total, so it has its current territory. ”
"So, is Lord Dupu interested in continuing to be a diplomat in the future and coordinating the relationship between Datang and these countries??"
"But ......" Dupu was stunned: "These countries have been destroyed by the Arab Empire!" ”
Then he reacted, looked at Tang Ping and said in surprise: "Could it be that you ......?"
"That's right, we are the righteous Tang Dynasty, these countries have been destroyed by the Arabs, of course we have to support their restoration!"
"So if there were to be peace talks, would your king be willing to restore these countries?"
