Yang Dingguo raised his head slightly, and said coldly: "I won't vote for Tang, don't waste your tongue." ”

Fan Lihua said coldly when she heard this: "So...... Uncle Yang, how many soldiers and horses are there in Xinyuan City, how many days can they hold on to under the iron hooves of my Datang? Or how many hours? Do you want to watch them die? ”

Yang Dingguo's face changed slightly when he heard this, as if he was ten years old, he turned his head to look at Fan Lihua with cloudy eyes, his facial muscles trembled, and he said slowly: "Dazhang died on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, this is the destination of soldiers, they are also your former comrades, and there are even many people who are still soldiers trained by you, but now you want to kill them with your own hands, what qualifications do you have to come to me." ”

Fan Lihua's face did not change and said: "At this time, at that time, everyone is their own master, I am just what a commander should do, there is no father and son on the battlefield, this is what you taught me." ”

"Good...... Good ......" Yang Dingguo smiled miserably, and said with a gloomy face, "You really didn't disappoint me, the art of war and strategy have reached the top, when you were young, you were too kind, I often taught you, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, now you are decisive in killing, the soldiers are waved, and the corpses are thousands of miles, good ...... Good ......"

Fan Lihua said calmly: "Uncle Yang, you don't have to ridicule me, how the Western Turks treat me, you don't know, I, Fan Lihua, have always been peached, repaid with Li, and repaid with virtue...... I can't do it. ”

Yang Dingguo suddenly glared and shouted: "Then how could the soldiers of the Western Turks fail you?" They are innocent! ”

Fan Lihua slowly turned around and paced with her hands in her hands, and said leisurely: "Uncle Yang was born in the army, and he should also know that from the moment a soldier joined the army, his head was already hanging on his belt and fighting...... How can there be immortals, only the people are innocent, Tian Khan wants to destroy the Western Turks, no one can stop his will, if Li Hao comes in command, I am afraid that the more than 40,000 prisoners of war are already 40,000 corpses, and I Fan Lihua will lead the troops to conquer the west, at least let the former colleagues die less. ”

Yang Dingguo's eyes suddenly dimmed when he heard this, although what Fan Lihua said was completely strong, but he had to admit that what she said was the truth, he had long heard that Li Hao's methods of fighting were murderous, and he had killed prisoners of war for the convenience of marching and fighting, although he didn't kill them every time, but he knew that Li Hao could not accept more than 40,000 prisoners of war, it was too cumbersome.

Seeing that Yang Dingguo was no longer talking, Fan Lihua continued: "Now I have 40,000 prisoners of war, it is extremely inconvenient, and the food and grass are not enough to support them, if there is no way to do it tomorrow at noon, I can only kill these prisoners of war." ”

Hearing this, Yang Dingguo suddenly raised his head and glared at Fan Lihua, his tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You actually threaten me?" ”

"Don't dare." Fan Lihua said without changing her face, "Lihua just wants to persuade Uncle Yang to find a way to survive for this group of Western Turkic soldiers, as long as you surrender to the Tang Dynasty and persuade the defenders in Xinyuan City to surrender, Lihua can put all these captives in Xinyuan City, and the grain and grass in Xinyuan City should be very sufficient at this moment." ”

"Your wishful thinking...... Yang Dingguo looked at Fan Lihua with shocked eyes, even if Fan Lihua was taught by him, but now Fan Lihua has already grown to the point where even he can't recognize it, from the confrontation to the present, all the schemes are linked one by one, and he will be eaten to death, as long as he votes for Tang, he can save more than 40,000 comrades, what a temptation, as a veteran general who has brought soldiers for so many years, he clearly knows the difficulties and difficulties of every soldier.

"You...... Let me think about it...... "Yang Dingguo has begun to waver.

Fan Lihua was secretly happy when she heard this, but her face was still impassive, and she hit the railway while it was hot: "Uncle Yang, Ashina Helu has been a Khan for several years, presumably Uncle Yang knows him very well, this person is ambitious and talented, nepotistic, generous and open-minded on the surface, in fact, he is narrow-minded, and he is a dog in the fly camp, it can be seen from the arrangement of this attack on my Tang Army, Uncle Yang, you are a great talent, he doesn't need it, he prefers to use Ashina Shabi and Ge Biluo, the Western Turks are under his leadership, there is no hope, and now the Western Turks, there is the Tang Dynasty in the east, The Western Turks seem to be rising in national strength, but in fact, they are strong in the middle, like a big tree with an empty heart, and it only takes a gust of wind to fall down and destroy the country...... It's just a matter of time. ”

Yang Dingguo's mouth moved, he wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything, presumably he saw these things, seeing that he didn't speak, Fan Lihua said again: "Uncle Yang, like me, was born in the Western Turks and grew up in the Western Turks, but where is your hometown, Uncle Yang, in Datang, whether in terms of hometown or your bloodline, you are a complete Tang person!" You can't change this in your life! For the Turks, you are always an outsider! For they also believe in the saying that those who are not of my race will have different hearts, as evidenced by what happened to their fathers! ”

Yang Dingguo was moved when he heard this, and looked at Fan Lihua worriedly, his face was full of pain, in fact, Fan Hong's death touched Yang Dingguo a lot, when Ashina Helu wanted to behead Fan Hong, Yang Dingguo pleaded in every possible way, he just begged Ashina Helu not to be in a hurry to kill Fan Hong, and it was not too late to find out the truth of the matter, but Ashina Helu didn't like him at all, he was stubborn and self-serving, and he insisted on going his own way, and killed all Fan Hong's father and son, and Fan Hong's three grandsons who were not yet ten years old were beheaded together, and all the female dependents in the family became female slaves.

It can be completely seen from this point that what Fan Lihua said is not wrong at all, Ashina Helu really does not believe in Tang officials.

There is a very painful thing in the world, that is, I would have been to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, Fan Hong and Yang Dingguo have the heart to serve the Western Turks wholeheartedly, but the Western Turks are always in a state of suspicion of them and do not trust them at all, which is very heartbreaking.

Yang Dingguo's expression was a little sluggish at the moment, his mouth moved lightly, and he said uncontrollably: "If I rebel, then I will become a traitorous sinner, and I will be stinking ......for 10,000 years in the future."

Fan Lihua said indifferently: "It's just a false name, why care, is it the lives of 40,000 colleagues that are important, or Uncle Yang, your false name is important?" ”

Yang Dingguo said without hesitation: "Naturally, the lives of the 40,000 army are important. ”

"That's it." Fan Lihua said, "Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty, once said to me, he said, the history books are written by the victors, the Tang Dynasty is now prosperous, the world is invincible, and the unification of the four seas is just around the corner, and the history books are naturally written by the historians of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Datang...... It's really too strong. When Yang Dingguo said this, his voice was trembling, although he was very reluctant to admit it, but he had to admit that the Tang Dynasty was too strong, Mo said that he was old now, even if he was twenty years younger, he would not be able to save the fate of the Western Turks.

At this moment, Yang Dingguo no longer had the will to resist in his heart, and after being silent for a moment, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I promise you, surrender to Datang." ”

Fan Lihua finally smiled when she heard this, and said: "Congratulations to Uncle Yang for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, we will go to Xinyuan City later, and then we will trouble Uncle to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties." ”

She has actually been thinking about this, Xinyuan City is very important to Fan Lihua at this moment, because she has little food and grass, and she urgently needs supplies.

And as long as Yang Dingguo comes out, he will definitely be able to easily persuade him to surrender successfully, and the soldiers will take Xinyuan without blood, which is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the strategy from above.

"Okay." Yang Dingguo nodded when he heard this, "But ...... Pear Blossom, although there are only 30,000 troops in the royal court at the moment, but it should not be underestimated, a month ago, my nephew came from the west to bring good news, just led an army of 20,000 to defeat the 60,000 army of the Great Food Country, is leading the troops back to the royal court, counting the days, it is almost to the royal court, if you meet him, you must be careful. ”

"Your nephew?" Fan Lihua was stunned when she heard this, thought about it carefully, and after thinking for a while, she finally remembered, and suddenly said, "Uncle Yang is talking about the one who was beaten to vomit blood in a martial arts competition with me thirteen years ago." ”

"It's him." Yang Dingguo nodded and said, "After he was defeated by you that time, he was ridiculed by many people, he had no face to stay in the Western Turks anymore, and ran away from home in a fit of anger, saying that he was visiting a master to learn skills, and then he passed a few letters back from home, saying that he followed a master to retreat to learn the art of war and martial arts, even his father died on the battlefield, he did not come back, last year, he finally returned from his studies, and showed a martial art to Ashina Helu, which shocked the ministers, Ashina Helu not only reinstated his official position, but also sent him to lead the troops to the west to fight the big cannibals, In just eight months, he won ten battles and ten victories, and it seems that he has really learned his skills, if you meet him on the battlefield, you need to be careful. ”

"Oh? How could such a miracle occur? Fan Lihua was immediately interested when she heard this, after all, she remembered that Yang Dingguo's nephew was about the same age as her, and it was a very happy thing to be able to find an opponent among her peers, she asked casually, "What's his name?" I couldn't remember it for a while. ”

Yang Dingguo said: "His name is Yang Fan." ”
