Lu Yun looked confused, and the generals were also confused, before the military formation, what a slaughtering field, as the general manager of the march, Li Hao's words and deeds made people feel like they were joking.

At this time, on the main hall of Gaochang Palace, Lu Zhisheng was pacing back and forth anxiously, the civil and military ministers all lowered their heads, and the hall was quiet, only the footsteps of Lu Zhisheng remained.

"Talk! Completely dumb? Lu Zhisheng drank anxiously.

"Your Majesty." An old man with gray hair said slowly, "Although the Tang army is strong, it is easy to defend the city since ancient times, and it is difficult to attack the city, we have 20,000 troops in the city, and the number of the Tang army is not as good as ours, so it is difficult for them to capture the city." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't have to be so agitated." There was also an old man on the side who chimed in.

"Oh? Is it? Lu Zhisheng glared and snorted coldly, "There are 4,500 troops in Jiaohe City, but they were captured by the Tang Army in half an hour, half an hour!" ”

The ministers were silent for a while when they heard this, indeed, the Tang army was too strong, and it took a city defended by more than 4,000 troops in half an hour, which was simply appalling.

After another moment, a middle-aged man with a goatee came out and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask for peace." ”

"Summation?" Lu Zhisheng's eyes rolled, and he spread his hands and said, "Tell me, how to seek peace, the Tang Army has traveled thousands of miles, will it be easy to agree to peace?" ”

Goatee smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests, as long as we can give conditions that satisfy Tang Jun, the peace negotiation will be successful." ”

Lu Zhisheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Pang Qing, you go on." ”

"Yes." Goatee chin head continued, "The Tang army came to attack this time, naturally because of our invasion of Tingzhou, Your Majesty only needs to promise to kill the commander and a cadre of generals who invaded Tingzhou, and the Tang army can be relieved, of course, this sentence is just talking, after all, none of the generals and commanders who invaded Tingzhou have been able to come back, Datang has always regarded itself as a country of benevolence and righteousness and etiquette, Your Majesty only needs to agree to worship Datang as the suzerain, bow down to the ministers, and pay tribute of 10,000 taels of gold every year, so that the Tang Dynasty will gain fame and fortune, and the matter of peace can be achieved." ”

"Good!" Lu Zhisheng clapped his hands happily when he heard this, pointed to the goatee, and praised happily, "Pang Aiqing is really able to make good decisions, and the matter of peace, this king will call you to do it, if the commander of the Tang Army thinks that the gold is not enough, this king can add more, as long as the peace negotiation is successful, this king will immediately crown you as the prime minister, and add the title of Gaochang Chenggong." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The goatee was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was ordered to retreat.

Li Hao sent people to shout under the city to persuade him to surrender, he has decided, if he does not attack the city today, he will persuade him to surrender, first shake the hearts of those nobles in Gaochang City, the nobles are the biggest force in Gaochang, they can almost restrain the king, and they are also the most unreliable group of people, they are greedy for glory and wealth, and they are even more afraid of death.

Li Hao's approach was still somewhat effective, and not long after the persuasion was carried out, the group of nobles united to kneel at the gate of the Gaochang Palace to see Lu Zhisheng, and they all asked Lu Zhisheng to surrender the city, but Lu Zhisheng was so angry that he wanted to kill all these guys.

However, he also knew that these nobles were inextricably linked with many ministers in the court, and they were generally related to each other, which was quite similar to the gate valve of the Tang Dynasty, which could be said to be a move to the whole body, as long as he made a move, the entire Gaochang would be in chaos, at such a time of crisis, how could he let the city have infighting, so he endured his anger and met with those nobles, tried to persuade them, let them rest assured, and said that he had a way to deal with the Tang army.

Just when Lu Zhisheng was persuading the nobles, the goatee-bearded minister had already come out of the city gate and went to the Tang army camp alone to negotiate peace.

Li Hao was in the tooth tent and the generals around the sand table to study the method of attacking Gaochang City, and a guard outside came to report: "Military division, Gaochang envoy asks to see!" ”

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and raised his voice, "Let him in." ”

The goatee lifted the curtain and entered the tooth tent, and saw more than a dozen people standing in the tooth tent, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the sand table, his face was like dirt, but he still calmed down a little, and then saluted Li Hao, and said: "Gaochang envoy Pang Guang, meet the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and meet the marshal of the Tang Dynasty." ”

After Li Hao heard his name, his expression became very exciting: "What did you just say your name?" ”

"Pang Guang." Pang Guang replied solemnly.

"Poof-" Li Hao didn't hold back, he laughed directly, and then he held his stomach and laughed wildly, and everyone in the account looked at him with a confused face, not knowing what kind of wind he was smoking.

"Wait...... Wait a minute...... Let me...... Laugh for a while...... Haha......" Li Hao covered his stomach and smiled, a little angry, it was difficult to speak, Pang Guang also looked confused and innocent, I don't know what the situation of this boss of Datang is, what is so funny.

"Ahem......" Lu Yun coughed vigorously and kept glancing at Li Hao.

Li Hao finally eased up, and then realized that he was indeed embarrassed, so he hurriedly put away his smiling face, straightened his clothes, and said seriously: "Money cracks...... Ahh Pang Guang ...... "Li Hao thought of the bladder as soon as he heard Pang Guang, and when he thought of the bladder, he naturally thought of the money crack, so now he called the wrong name as soon as he opened his mouth."

"Pang Guang!" Li Hao finally asked seriously, "You were brought to negotiate by your king Lu Zhisheng?" ”

Now that Gaochang City is in the period of national mourning, even the city is covered with white cloths, and Li Hao doesn't want to know if Lu Wentai is hanging.

Pang Guang bowed his head and said, "Yes, I was entrusted by the king to come to negotiate with Li Dashuai. ”

"What else is there to talk about." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Let Lu Zhisheng be bound out of the city and surrendered, otherwise this army division will not care whether you are a national mourner or not, and directly capture your bullshit Gaochang City!" ”

Pang Guang frowned when he heard this: "Why is Li Dashuai so angry. ”

He raised his hand to stop him: "Don't call me a commander, call me a military advisor." ”

"Okay, Master Li." Pang Guang said slowly, "Why is Li Junshi so angry, wanting our king to tie himself up and surrender out of the city, this is absolutely impossible, but Li Junshi wants to break through our Gaochang City, but it is not so easy, even if Li Junshi can capture Gaochang, I am afraid that he will also suffer heavy losses, I don't know if Li Junshi has thought about this." ”

"Hehe, you're so good at lifting yourself up." Li Hao sneered, "The combat power of your Gaochang sergeant, this army division has seen it, it is simply vulnerable, and if you capture your shit-like Gaochang City, this army division will not even be able to do it for three days, believe it or not." ”

Pang Guang was secretly annoyed when he heard this, he thought that this Li Hao was really too young, and he didn't understand the interests of the country at all, so he knew how to fight and kill. So he continued to persuade: "Li Junshi, even if you capture Gaochang, what good will it do to Yu Datang?" Why don't we sit down and talk about it, and discuss a safe way to not only protect Gaochang, but also make Datang the most profitable, what do you think? ”

"Hehe, the most profitable?" Li Hao sneered and raised his eyebrows, "Then you can tell me, how can I make Datang the most profitable?" ”

Pang Guangdao: "Our king has promised that as long as Tian Khan is willing to withdraw his troops, he is willing to kill all the generals and commanders who invade Tingzhou, and at the same time, he is willing to worship the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, bow down to the vassals, and pay an annual tribute of 10,000 taels of gold." ”

"Hehe, the suzerain? 10,000 taels of gold a year? Li Hao sneered.

Pang Guang saw that Li Hao's face was full of disdain, and hurriedly increased the price: "If Li Junshi feels that it is not enough, then add another 10,000 taels, and pay a tribute of 20,000 thousand gold every year, according to Datang, that is 200,000 yuan!" ”

"Hmph......" Li Hao continued to sneer.

Pang Guang couldn't help frowning when he saw this, it seemed that this young Tang commander had a big appetite, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Junshi doesn't seem to be very satisfied, then 40,000 taels of gold per year, that is, 400,000 guan, can not be more." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and quietly peeked at Li Hao with his afterglow to see how he reacted.

Li Hao asked with a playful smile: "You Gaochang are very rich?" ”

Pang Guang knew that he was sarcastic, so he could only pretend to be bitter, and said: "This is the power of my Gaochang country, and it also shows the sincerity of my King Gaochang." ”

"Sincerity?" Li Hao paced slowly, and asked with a smile, "This military division asks you, your Gaochang is located in the desert, and you don't care about agricultural products, you have money...... Where did it come from? ”

Pang Guang was shocked when he heard this, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, this question, he couldn't answer, although he knew the answer, but he couldn't say this answer.

"Can't answer?" The corners of Li Hao's mouth lifted lightly, and he said slowly, "This military division will answer for you, your Gaochang money is all obtained by exploiting and robbing caravans on the Silk Road, and the largest horse bandit gang on the Silk Road is your Gaochang Kingdom." ”

Pang Guang's back was instantly wet with sweat, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he just wanted to argue a few words, but he heard Li Hao suddenly say coldly: "You Gaochang have done so many dirty things for so many years, do you really know nothing about our wise and martial Heavenly Khan, we just don't bother to pay attention to you, now, Tian Khan is furious and raises troops to attack, and you still want to retreat with your whole body, it's really whimsical." ”

Pang Guang suddenly knelt on his knees and said anxiously: "Li Junshi, our new king has reflected on his mistakes and is determined to repent, and he will never dare to do it again in the future, as long as the military advisor intercedes with the Heavenly Khan for us, our king is willing to pay a tribute of 50,000 taels of gold to the Tang Dynasty every year, and give another 50,000 taels of gold to the military master as a reward......

"Bastard!" Li Haohu was stunned, burst out with awe-inspiring might, and shouted, "Gaochang is a despicable small country, and it dares to buy this military division, it is simply a dead end!" Come! ”

The two of them, Flying Eagle and Cheetah, strode into the tent and knelt on one knee: "What do you command?" ”

Li Hao's eyes were like electricity, and he shouted: "Gaochang is a small country, despicable and shameless, and wants to buy the commander of the Tang Dynasty with a lot of money, his heart can be punished, take this person down and behead him!" ”

"Ahh When Pang Guang heard this, he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and shouted in a panic, "Li Dashuai, you can't kill me, I am a messenger sent by King Gaochang, and the two armies are fighting, and I don't kill the envoy......"

"What kind of messenger are you!" Li Hao's voice was like thunder, "I dared to buy the Tang Commander with a lot of money in the military formation, my heart was not right, and I should be beheaded for the crime, drag it down, and behead!" Hang your head over the flagpole! ”

"Yes!" The flying eagle and the cheetah both stepped forward and dragged Pang Guang out.

"You can't kill me, I'm a messenger from Gaochang, you can't kill me, the two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy! Your Tang Dynasty is in vain a country of benevolence and righteousness, a country of etiquette......" Pang Guang struggled desperately, hissing and shouting, and it didn't take long for a sudden scream of "ah" to be heard, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Pang Guang's head hung on the flagpole, swaying, Li Hao took the generals out of the tooth tent, looked at Pang Guang's head, and snorted coldly: "Barbarian small country, I still want to use the big hat of benevolence and etiquette to press me, this time I don't let you taste my Tang Dynasty's soldiers, the world really thinks that my Tang Dynasty can be bullied, pass on my military order, tomorrow, the school field soldiers!" ”
