At this Huaiyuan Pass, Li Jing forced his eyes to look at the longevity of the city, and if you don't give a reasonable explanation, we will attack the city.

"General Li, it's not that I deliberately detained the two of them, but we left Beisha City without attacking, and I wanted to bring the two of them to exchange prisoners before, but the two of them didn't agree.

They said that they would take their 60,000 soldiers with them, but our army could not agree. ”

Li Jing listened, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What did you say?" We sent someone to contact you before, but you dare to go back on your word when you say that you will release all the generals of the Tang Dynasty?

Do you mean to force our 60,000 soldiers? ”

Not to be outdone, he said in a deep voice: "The Tang Dynasty killed 100,000 of my warriors back then, and invaded the five cities of Liaodong in Goguryeo, we can let go of your generals in exchange for our envoys, but these soldiers who killed my warriors can't, we have to give an explanation to the countrymen." ”

"Confess? What do you want to explain?

You, Goguryeo Eoji Wende, led troops to invade my Youzhou for no reason, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, and destroying them is an explanation to the people of our Youzhou. ”

"Then since you say so, it is reasonable for you to occupy our five cities in Liaodong, and it is reasonable for us to leave them to give an explanation." Sayanshou said proudly, no matter what, this Goguryeo is a self-defense counterattack, and it is all reasonable.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Jing laughed: "Okay, very good, the old man hasn't done anything for three years since he destroyed the Eastern Turks."

If you insist on this, then fight!

You can go back to attack the city now, Cheng Zhijie and Niu Jinda and other 60,000 Tang soldiers, and the old man will personally go to the rescue.

Hmph, you have to know, it's not Datang who begged you to exchange prisoners with us, originally the old man, as the commander in the army, was the main battle faction, and now he can fight happily, you can't ask for it, don't regret it. ”

After saying this, Li Jing laughed and turned his horse back, and walked away, and Chai Shao, who followed behind, deliberately shouted: "Dashuai, go back and chop those useless envoys to sacrifice the flag!" ”

Hearing this, he almost fell off his horse, he was too carried away before, he forgot the original purpose, provoking a big war is not the goal, changing the boss is the point.

But at this time, Li Jing had already led the team back, and he couldn't catch up with him if he wanted to pull it back and then negotiate peace, so he could only return to the city in frustration, and a group of civil servants in the city must have disagreed with the war, besieging the enemy for a month, Goguryeo's military expenditure was huge, and the financial officials had begun to complain.

Li Jing, who returned to the camp, was immediately surrounded by people and asked about the situation.

Chai Shao laughed and said the matter vividly, and Tang Jian, who came with him, said with a smile: "Pharmacist, I never thought that you are also a master of tongue debate, it seems that it is superfluous for His Majesty to send us to Honglu Temple this time, it is better to go back and tell Your Majesty, you come to our Honglu Temple to serve, if such a good talent does not come, it is really a loss for Datang......"

Everyone watched Tang Jian's chattering performance, and instantly burst into laughter, Li Jing was also speechless, this old guy, let you come to do something, you are good, and you are still playing.

Walking to the center of the tent, Li Jing said solemnly: "Everyone, we have succeeded in this first step, but our own family knows our own affairs, and I believe that the other party will not dare to start a war with us easily, after all, the Goguryeo powerful minister Yuan Gai Suwen is in our hands, so next, they will definitely send someone to talk."

In this regard, it is up to Honglu Temple to take action, although the bottom line given by His Majesty is to rescue the soldiers, and other things can be dispensed without, but if you can strive for more benefits for the country, you are duty-bound!

Before the other party finds out our details, you must negotiate as soon as possible, and change back to them. ”

Tang Jian smiled and glanced at Du Wei, and at the same time gave a military salute to Li Jing: "Get the order, obey the orders of the marshal!" ”

Sure enough, in less than half a day, the Goguryeo side sent a capable diplomat to the Tang camp.

"Below is the special envoy of Goguryeo for the exchange of prisoners, Park Manchang, please go and tell Li Dashuai, just say that we are sincerely here to discuss the exchange of prisoners."

The general of the guard said coldly: "Go back, Lao Tzu is sharpening his knife and waiting to start a battle to kill the enemy, exchange prisoners?" The marshal said, don't change it, let's go and rescue the brother troops ourselves. ”

"This, this ......"

Just when Park Manchang wanted to hold on one or two more, a loud shout came from inside, "Bastard, the two countries are not at war and have not come to make it, and the other party is coming with a festival, how can you be so rude?" Don't quit yet!

Since the envoy from the other side is coming, please come with me, and if there is anything, we will go inside and talk in detail. ”

Park Manchang looked at the two people dressed as civil officials who came out of the camp in confusion, and said that he was very reasonable, let's go in first.

The people who came were Tang Jian and Du Gou, and they took Park Manchang to the tent that had been set up a long time ago, and the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, and Tang Jian took the lead in speaking.

"Don't be surprised, a group of soldiers have no culture, don't know how to be polite, and are lazy."

"Dare I ask who you are?"

"The old man Honglu Temple is Tang Jian, this is Du Wei, the deputy secretary of Honglu Temple.

This time, he came with the army to preside over the exchange of prisoners in the name of His Majesty.

Don't hide it from your envoys, my Tang Dynasty is divided into two factions for this prisoner exchange, one is the military headed by Li Jing, they advocate war and revenge, and they are unreasonable, in one word, it is to fight.

And we, Honglu Temple and others, feel that peace is still valued between countries, everything is negotiable, and we do not advocate fighting. Tang Jian began to fool the other party in a serious way.

Sure enough, Park Manchang was instantly overjoyed after hearing this, knowing that he was lucky to meet his peers.

"Tang Zhengqing is right, we in Goguryeo also hate war, but your commander is bent on going to war, so he really doesn't give him a chance."

Du Gou opened his mouth and said: "Where is your envoy, in fact, I know the person of Dashuai, although he likes to fight, but he prefers to get something for nothing, he just wants things, if the other party does not give it, he will lead the army to seize it by unscrupulous means."

This time he insisted on fighting, and in my opinion, it was not that he was belligerent, but that you were too stingy and reluctant to get chips. ”

…… Tang Jian looked back at Du Wei strangely, and said in his heart, boy, are you ruining Li Jing's reputation by saying this, aren't you afraid that he will find your account?

Hearing what the other party said, how could Park Manchang not know that this was an opportunity to talk, waiting for his own conditions.

"Oh, before the two armies were in front of the formation, it was indeed our people who made a slip of the tongue for a while.

Our commander said that he agreed to your terms and exchanged your 60,000 troops and generals for your captured envoys, but in order to prevent your 60,000 men from counterattacking, they need to give up their weapons and come to participate in the prisoner exchange. ”

After listening to this, Du Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "It's over, it's over, no wonder the marshal wants to go to war, where are you exchanging prisoners, you are obviously humiliating our marshal, and the reason why the two of us didn't attack immediately was because the two of us came forward to stop it." ”

"So, why is that? I waited for the sincerity to exchange prisoners, where did I humiliate Li Dashuai? Park Manchang asked in surprise.

Today's chapter 10, a diplomatic war has begun, so stay tuned.
