Ju Wentai was sick, very sick, after seeing the entire lineup of the Tang army above the palace, Lao Ju didn't even come down from the city, and fainted after asking a word, I don't know if it was scared or some other reason.

In a panic, Ma Wanjie, the prime minister of Gaochang, overrode public opinion and invited out the son of Lao Ju, Ju Zhisheng, who presided over the overall situation.

At the same time, Ma Wanjie privately summoned several generals of Gaochang, and the location was still in the hotel where he met Wang Xuance, but this time the hotel was completely chartered, and every room was arranged for manpower defense, and there was no outsider in the entire hotel, including the boss, who was kicked out.

"Prime Minister, what is it so solemn about?" Several generals were taken aback by Ma Wanjie's strict arrangement, and thought that he wanted to kill someone or something, but their faces were solemn, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"A few generals, the stakes are very high, please don't be surprised." Ma Wanjie glanced at the guards at the door, signaled to close the door, and then said: "The lord of the country is now in a state of worry, he has been unconscious for four consecutive days, there are tens of thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty outside the city, and other countries in the city are squeezed out. ”

"A good idea?" A bearded guy snorted coldly: "What's the best plan?" Unlike other countries, just the tens of thousands of Tang troops outside the city, who has a way to appease them? Who can stop them? ”

"Yes, the Tang people must have a plan when they come from afar, but they are still invited by the lord of the country, alas!" A long, handsome guy sighed.

This guy's surname is Tian, his name is Tian Changping, he has read some Central Plains books, and especially admires Wu Anjun Baiqi, so he named his son Tian Changping to commemorate.

And Tian Changping did not live up to his father's expectations, he grew up with some military talent, and is now the generalissimo of Gaochang soldiers and horses (of course, Gaochang is definitely not called that in China, anyway, everyone understands the spirit), commanding about 20,000 troops across the country, and has some prestige on weekdays, belonging to the category of wise generals.

"Why don't you unite with other countries and jointly send troops to drive the Tang people out of the Western Regions?" The words are the same clan of the Gaochang royal family, Ju Wentai's brother Ju Shufan, who is mainly in charge of city defense.

"Fart, before you finish uniting, it is estimated that the army of the Tang Dynasty will be able to enter the city. Is it true that other countries are of the same mind as us? Tell you, don't expect it, unite them, maybe our side hasn't broken up, and the Tang army outside the city has already gotten the news. The bearded man pouted.

"What then? You can't just wait, who knows if the Tang army outside will have any other intentions after getting the news, once they want to get a certain Gaochang, who can stop it? Ju Shufan, as the prince, was a little angry by the bearded man, and glared at the bearded man, intending to accuse him of 'being in the nest'.

"Okay, let's be quiet first, since the prime minister has summoned us to meet here, there must be a proper way, why don't we listen to the prime minister's plan?" Tian Changping stretched out his hand to suppress the beard that Ju Shufan was desperate to jump up, pretended to look at Ma Wanjie calmly, and said indifferently.

"Yes, old horse, you can say anything, don't be like a girl, don't embarrass your ancestors." The bearded man was attracted by Tian Changping's words, and temporarily let go of Ju Shufan, but pointed the finger at Ma Wanjie.

"Old Han, why are our two families also world friends, can't you leave some virtue in your mouth?" Ma Wanjie smiled wryly, nodded his beard with his fingers, and then changed to a serious face and said, "Several, do you think Datang will stay in the Western Regions for a long time?" ”

"Long-term? How long was that? A year, ten years, or forever? Can you be clear. The bearded man surnamed Han rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

The Han family and the Ma family are indeed world friends, and they can count up I don't know how many generations, this matter has been instilled into their minds by their parents since the two of them were born, and after a long time, they don't ask how many generations they have gone up, anyway, their parents also came over like this, I don't know, I don't know.

"You don't care how long it takes, what do you think is the purpose of Datang? Guess, guess, even if it's just that they'll be leaving tomorrow. Ma Wanjie waved his hand and motioned to the bearded man not to interrupt him: "Your opinion, don't think about whether Datang will enter Gaochang or something." ”

"I think Datang must have another purpose, but I don't know what their purpose is, but I think it should be inseparable from the trade route outside the city, so I think they should be stationed for a long time." Tian Chang's face is calm and elegant, and he looks like a famous general.

"I think so too." Ju Shufan nodded in agreement.

"I don't know, you all think so, then I think so too." The bearded man has a straight temperament and has no opinions, and seeing that both of them are like this, he also echoed him.

"Then do you think we are cooperating with Datang? Or is it better to fight? Ma Wanjie's gaze swept over the three of them, leaned forward slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Tian Changping frowned, feeling that he had vaguely guessed something.

"What do you mean?" Ma Wanjie smiled faintly and leaned back into his chair: "I mean: How about inviting Tang Jun into the city?" Or is it better to let the Tang army enter the city? It's that simple. ”

"You want to surrender Datang?" The bearded man finally understood Ma Wanjie's words, and almost jumped up from the chair in excitement for a while.

"Sit down, what's the hurry, listen to me." Ma Wanjie is a few years older than the bearded man, so he naturally has the right to stare at him.

Tian Changping also motioned to the bearded man to sit down, then looked at Ma Wanjie and said, "Prime Minister, please hear and see you in the next wish." ”

"Marshal Tian, the lesser of the two powers." Ma Wanjie sighed, licked his lips and was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his language, and only said after a while: "For the Western Regions, Datang is an outsider in the end, if they want to manage the Western Regions well, they must need a spokesperson, so who do you think is better to be the spokesperson?" ”

"This ......" Tian Changping hesitated for a moment, falling into a long silence.

And Ju Shufan next to him also came back to his senses from the excitement at the beginning, and began to think about Ma Wanjie's question, the three military people, only the bearded man was sitting on the side and looking around.

He didn't have the brain to think about these things, for him, as long as Ma Wanjie and Tian Changping thought it was right, it must be right, and other people's Fa was nonsense and meaningless.
