……

"The Han army actually appeared under the capital of the Gu Kingdom, and also captured the people and subjects of the Lone? How unreasonable! ”

Qi Ruosi's body couldn't help but tremble, and he slapped the battlement wall fiercely, and suddenly raised a burst of dust.

However, when he saw that there were only more than a thousand Han troops outside the city, he was even more furious: "What are the defenders of Turbo City doing?" Actually let the enemy come to the outside of Natuoluo City? ”

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to try to rescue the country's abbot first, and the ministers see that these Han troops do not carry siege equipment, so they must have other plans." ”

Qi Ruosi's eyes froze: "What does the Prime Minister mean?" ”

Tun: "Taking advantage of the fact that the movements of the Han army are unclear now, the minister suggested sending an envoy to the Han army camp to ask the reason." ”

"You're going to make Lone succumb to these demons?" Qi Ruosi's eyes widened, "It's impossible, how can a lonely widow and a noble king show weakness to the enemy?" The Lone King wants to slay these demons! ”

He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the matter is serious, and Lord Guozhang is still in the hands of the Han army......

When Qi Ruosi heard this, he immediately shut up.

Behind his father-in-law, Sedan, he has a huge family power, which is big enough to decide the abolition of the noble widow monarch.

At the beginning, Qi Ruosi relied on his marriage to Sedan's daughter and got the support of the Saidan family to inherit the throne.

If he doesn't save Sedan, he will definitely be attacked by the domestic aristocratic forces in the future, and Qi Ruosi can't afford this consequence at all.

Now, as Anton said, he must be the first to rescue Sedan.

No matter how bad it is......

It is also necessary to let Seidan die in the Han army camp, so that the finger can be pointed at the Han army.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not bad to send envoys to inquire about the movements of the Han army, firstly, to find out the truth of the enemy army, and secondly, whether or not to save Sedan, it will be harmless to himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Ruosi agreed to the request: "What the Prime Minister said is right, the prince is the father-in-law of the lonely king, how can he not be saved when he dies?"

But Lone can't watch the Han army show off its might outside the city like this, send envoys and gather all the combatable forces in the city.

In addition, the defenders of Turbo City were ordered to rush to the rescue, and after the country was worry-free, they annihilated this Han cavalry in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Majesty!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart that it was okay, this king was not stupid.

……

Han camp......

"Report ~ General Geng, there is a person who claims to be the king's envoy and wants to ask to see the general."

"Let him come."

A noble widow envoy dressed in a white cloth robe came to the Han cavalry formation tremblingly.

This envoy did not have a high official position in the noble widow's country, and it was precisely because of his insufficient background that he was forced to act as an envoy.

I thought that seeing the Han army's iron cavalry on the city wall was already terrifying, but I didn't want to get in close contact now, which made this envoy even more frightened.

Such a solemn military formation, such a strong killing intent, such a fine armor, such a sharp blade.

Even if this envoy doesn't understand military affairs, he can keenly feel that with such a thousand cavalry, it is absolutely no problem to crush the five thousand cavalry of the noble widow.

What's more, after seeing such a cavalry lineup, are those in your own country also considered cavalry?

It's like a bunch of beggars on horseback!

Therefore, as soon as he went to the Han army to ask to see Geng Gong, he became very humble, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would fall directly to the ground.

Geng Gongce and his horse looked at the head of the city with a speculum, and it was not until the envoy arrived that he put down the speculum and asked, "Say, what are you looking for this general?" ”

The envoy hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed his head and crossed his hands over his chest, and said respectfully: "The minister is not contemptuous, I have seen the general of the Celestial Empire." ”

For the attitude of contempt, Geng Gong was used, and at the same time, he couldn't help but despise it in his heart.

"Your Majesty once said that the barbarians outside the Saiwai are all afraid of power and not morality, it seems that if this is the case, this Xinu must have seen me riding in a strict formation, and he didn't dare to make a mistake."

He raised his hand casually: "Tell me, what did your king send you for?" ”

Contempt also raised his head and said: "The king ordered me to come to ask the general of the Celestial Empire, can you release the lord of the country to the city?" ”

In fact, as soon as these words came out, there was a trace of regret.

Because before leaving, Qi Ruosi and Uton had explained to him that they must severely reprimand the Han army for their actions and let them take the initiative to return the country.

But as soon as he saw the Han army's military formation, he was so frightened that he forgot all about it.

What's more, who can see such a scene and "severely reprimand"?

Whoever has the guts will try it!

"Guozhang? What Guozhang? Lao Tzu just lay flat! ”

Geng Gong frowned, he really didn't know that he had arrested his father-in-law.

But he also thought that Geng Gong would not return it, so he mustered up the courage to persuade him: "General of the Heavenly Empire, the prince is very important to your widow,

He also asked the general of the Celestial Empire to return it, and as for the request of the general of the Celestial Empire, the minister could convey it to the king on his behalf. ”

Contempt just wanted to leave here quickly, and the kind of soaring killing intent exuded by the surrounding Han cavalry made his scalp tingle all the time.

Geng Gong thought for a while, and then said: "It is not difficult to release your king, go back and tell your king that you need a ransom of 50,000 gold ingots,

In addition, hand over the murderers of my Yue clan friends to our Han army, as long as your king meets the two conditions of this general,

General Ben immediately put your lord back. ”

He hurriedly agreed: "Yes, everything is subject to the orders of the general of the Celestial Empire, and the ministers will go back to report to the king." ”

Geng Gong nodded: "Okay, then you can go back first." ”

"The retainer retreats."

After saying that, he turned around and left, only hating his legs trembling, and he didn't get on the horse's back several times.

After waiting for Contempt to go away, Geng Gong summoned Pei Siche: "Let me find out, who is the father-in-law of the noble widow king, and bring him and his family over." ”

Pei Siche was stunned: "General? Do you really want to do business with them? ”

"Huh?"

"Oh no, it's a negotiation? But the subordinates can see that this is obviously the enemy's intention to delay time! ”

Geng Gong said: "You all know that this is delaying time, why doesn't General Ben know?" However, this country may be able to bring us unexpected gains,

Perhaps, there is a better arrangement for taking Turbo City than now, and it all depends on him! ”

Pei Siche scratched his head, obviously he didn't understand what Geng Gong was thinking.

……

"What? Fifty thousand gold ingots? Why don't they rob it! ”

After he told Geng Gong's words to Qi Ruosi as they were, Qi Ruosi, who was angry, jumped like thunder.

And when the minister heard his content, he kept complaining in his heart: People are robbing it now!

After pacing back and forth on the city wall for a while, Qi Ruosi looked fiercely at the outside of the battlement: "It's too much to deceive, it's too much to deceive,

King Gu must tear the Han man named Geng Gong to pieces and dare to ask Gu for money? He made a mistake! ”

The man on the side pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Can you ask how the battle is going on?" ”

Contempt also immediately replied: "Back to the Prime Minister, then Geng respectfully talks about him, I really can't detect the truth of the front line." ”

In fact, this is a countermeasure that he thought of on the way back, as long as he asks about military issues, he will blame the other party for a good job of secrecy, so that he can perfectly shake off the blame in the event of an accident in the future.

He thought about it for a while, and said directly to Qi Ruosi: "Your Majesty, since 50,000 gold ingots can be redeemed back to your father-in-law, then according to Geng Gong's opinion, I will get this money together first." ”

"What? Let Lone send money to a group of robbers? ”

"This is an expedient measure, after all, the national abbot has a special status, and he can't help it."

Qi Ruosi: "Having said that, but, don't say 50,000 gold ingots in the treasury now, even if you can't take out 30,000, how to pay Geng Gong in exchange for returning to the father-in-law?" ”

"It can be levied from the rich merchants in the city, but it is really not possible, and all the ministers present will also be generous enough to collect 50,000 gold ingots, which is not a problem at all." ”

As soon as the words fell, the hundred officials on the city wall suddenly became anxious.

Why should we pay for it?
