Xiao Han observed, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask to see Pan Chongche, Pan Lang was shocked and said, "How do you know...... Why do you suddenly want to see my boss?"

Xiao Han had already observed that the expressions of the lieutenants around Pan Lang were wrong, and several of them were obviously battle-hardened generals, with an arrogant look on their faces, which was not comparable to ordinary lieutenant generals at all, which meant that it was very likely that Pan Chongche would come to check in person after receiving the report.

Xiao Han's export verification immediately implemented the matter. Seeing Pan Lang's complexion change greatly, Xiao Han was secretly happy in his heart, ahh

Xiao Han was planning, so he heard Pan Lang say loudly: "The marshal is not here, the matter of peace has already been told to the marshal, as long as Chief of Staff Xiao is sincere, the general will ask the marshal himself, and it will not be too late for the leaders of the two armies to meet and negotiate again." ”

This was said extremely satisfactorily, Xiao Han suddenly became wary of this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and couldn't help but look at Murong Qiuyu. Murong Qiuyu nodded slightly, his eyes flashed, signaling him not to be careless.

Xiao Han glanced coldly at Pan Lang and the other Han generals, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, this staff officer will express the sincerity of his country to the general." Pan Lang was overjoyed, and immediately flashed and said, "Staff Officer Xiao, please." ”

As soon as the Han army gave an order, a narrow passage flashed out, and Xiao Han led everyone through in turn. Seeing that the Tang army had only more than 20 people, including Xiao Han, and did not hold weapons, the generals of the Han army all showed indescribable smiles.

The Han army's big tent was set up on the top of the mountain near a clearing in the south, and there were thousands of people guarding the top of the mountain. Xiao Han led everyone to the tent, and the deputy general of the Han army came over and wanted to deliver the cattle grain, Xiao Han immediately turned around and sneered: "This chief of staff came with sincerity, if the Han army does not receive the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, won't I give away these cattle grain in vain?"

The generals of the Southern Han Dynasty immediately changed their faces, and without waiting for them to speak, Xiao Han had already said to Zhuang Tianyou: "Wait for the chief of staff to negotiate on the spot, and if it is completed, it will be delivered, and it will be brought back as it is." Although my Datang is rich, there is no precedent for giving people money and food in vain. ”

Zhuang Tianyou took twenty Wudang disciples and agreed loudly, and then each of them bent down and pulled out a special Wudang dagger from the leggings of his lower body and placed it across his chest.

The Han army was immediately launched, and hundreds of archers gathered around the crowd, and hundreds of shining arrows pointed coldly at everyone. Zhuang Tianyou and the others were fearless, as if they had not seen it, and they behaved extremely calmly.

Pan Lang was stunned for a long time before he haha: "Chief of Staff Xiao doesn't need to doubt our sincerity, as long as you and I negotiate successfully, Marshal Pan will personally come to talk to Chief of Staff Xiao." ”

Xiao Han sneered: "It's not that I can't trust General Pan, now that you are arrogant, our side is in a weak position, if the negotiation fails, and then lose cattle and grain, wouldn't it be worth the loss, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will be lost, where will the face of this chief of staff go?"

This was a bit naïve, and all the Southern Han generals showed smug smiles on their faces, and Pan Lang was relieved when he heard this, and laughed and said: "I see, since this is the case, these sergeants will wait outside, and we can negotiate before making the delivery." ”

Xiao Han smiled and nodded, "Thanks to Zhaohui, General Pan please." Pan Lang didn't expect him to be anti-guest-oriented, and said with a dry smile: "Chief of Staff Xiao, please." Murong Qiuyu followed Xiao Han closely, Pan Lang glanced at her a few times, didn't speak, and walked straight back to the big tent.

Xiao Han entered with Murong Qiuyu, and the Southern Han generals behind him entered the tent in turn, and the miscellaneous servants in their own army served tea.

Xiao Han first stated the reasons for the withdrawal of troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and vigorously stated the bright prospects and benefits of the two countries reuniting. His outstanding eloquence fooled the generals of the Southern Han Dynasty who were stunned, Pan Lang was a rough man, and he had no chance to interject, making the whole so-called "negotiation" a show for Xiao Han.

Xiao Han's analysis of the international situation convinced everyone, especially when he heard that the Great Song Dynasty was about to send troops to annex Wu Yueguo.

Once the Wu Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the Southern Han Dynasty would immediately face two strong enemies. Needless to say, the Great Song Dynasty is also a tiger and wolf soldier, and later Zhou Chai Rong dared to fight to the death with the Great Liao, and forced the Tang Dynasty to cede the Fourteen Prefectures of Huainan, and the Tang Dynasty did not dare to compete with it with its current strong strength, let alone the small Southern Han Dynasty that had been in the south of the Yangtze River for decades.

If the Zhao clan wants to use troops against the Southern Han Dynasty, they can send troops from several roads, and if they fail to cross the five ridges, they can also attack from the sea, and then the Southern Han Dynasty will bloom everywhere, even if they resist desperately, where will it be the opponent of the Song soldiers who are as ruthless as tigers and wolves?

The generals immediately discerned the situation in front of them, and their hearts were already unconsciously inclined to negotiate peace. Once the north and the south make peace, the two sides will conclude an alliance, and once the Southern Han has a police, they can ask the Tang Dynasty for help. I believe that Datang does not want to see the Great Song Dynasty dominate, and will definitely send troops to help.

Xiao Han said while paying attention to the expressions of the people, seeing that they showed thoughtful expressions one by one, he knew that he had successfully passed the test again today, and he was proud, and couldn't help but say in an impassioned tone: "Han and Tang did not have a deep hatred, and the emperor was bewitched by traitors for a while, so this is why today's attack is happening." If the two sides reconcile and deal with the Great Song Dynasty together, when our Han and Tang coalition forces defeat the Song army and recover Wu Yue, they will divide the land of Wu and Yue into two, and the Han and Tang dynasties will each get one, and the two sides will sign an alliance to be friendly for generations, wouldn't it be better than fighting and killing now?"

This cake was extremely tempting, and the eyes of the generals of the Southern Han Dynasty were shining, and they all became excited, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Pan Lang waiting for him to make a statement. Pan Lang was a rough man, and he had already been disoriented by Xiao Han, but he was not a marshal after all, and his mind was still a little sober, and he immediately got up and said loudly after listening to Xiao Han's report: "What Chief of Staff Xiao said is quite reasonable, but the matter is serious, and I have to go down the mountain to tell the marshal to decide this matter." ”

Xiao Han slowly stood up and said, "In this way, I will go back and wait for news." Murong Qiuyu followed him closely, looking around vigilantly. Pan Lang's eyes rolled, and he was a little confused for a while, not knowing whether to detain Xiao Han and the others or let them go back according to the original plan.

He was just about to go out of the tent to tell Pan Chongche in the other big tent that he knew, when he heard a loud shout outside: "The marshal has arrived." The generals immediately got up and accompanied Pan Lang to the outside of the tent. Xiao Han also took Murong Qiuyu to stand on the side, and saw hundreds of Southern Han soldiers in soap robes and dozens of lieutenant generals surrounding an old general in golden helmets and armor coming slowly outside the big tent.

This old general has white hair, is over sixty years old, full of spirit, his face is full of red light, his long thin face is bright, and his eyes are bright, and he looks forward to giving people a coercive momentum. Although the pace was slow, it was very imposing, and the generals bowed down one by one and said loudly: "Welcome to the marshal." ”

Xiao Han didn't bow down, but just bowed his hand lightly: "Xiao Han, chief of staff of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty, has seen Marshal Pan. "But I was secretly screaming in my heart, today the head of the family is going to make a great contribution again, and it is strange not to blackmail Li Congshan for tens of thousands of taels of silver when I go back.

As long as this old thief shows up, it's just right to give him a beheading operation. Without a marshal in the Southern Han Dynasty, coupled with the loss of the mountaintop fortress, it is estimated that it will collapse soon.

Xiao Han was thinking about beauty, when he saw Pan Chongche say aloud to him: "Chief of Staff Xiao's words of peace are really the meaning of your emperor?" Xiao Han once again stated the meaning of the Southern Tang Dynasty to seek peace, and his words were naturally full of incomparable sincerity.

Pan Chongche didn't have any expression on his face, and after listening to him, he pointed back and said, "Isn't it too child's play if these 100 cows and 200 stone grain are your family's peace tokens?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said: "A mere 100 cattle and 200 stone grain are just used to reward General Pan Lang's forward, if the peace negotiation is successful, our army will send 1,000 cattle and horses, and 100,000 stone of grain to show the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty." ”

The generals were immediately overjoyed, and Pan Lang approached Pan Chongche and said, "Marshal, I think that although Xiao Han is young, what he said is not like a lie, what do you think?"

Murong Qiuyu saw that they were talking, quietly approached Xiao Han's ear, and said in a very small voice, "Do you want to take him?" Xiao Han nodded slightly. Murong Qiuyu said softly: "When I go out, how about I work with you to hold him hostage?" Xiao Han nodded again, Murong Qiuyu didn't speak anymore, and took a small step back slightly.

After all, Xiao Han led too few people, and the twenty-one "soldiers" of the Southern Tang Dynasty behaved extremely honestly, keeping the rules and regulations by the side of the scalpers, which had already dispelled the vigilance of many Southern Han generals.

Pan Chongche glanced at Xiao Han a few times, and saw that he had a faint smile on his face, but he really couldn't see the depth, and snorted: "Chief of Staff Xiao entered my Han camp alone, aren't you afraid that I will detain you and blackmail Li Congshan?"

Xiao Han waved his hand casually and said: "My position as chief of staff is really in name only, just a false position, even if I arrest myself, with the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, I will never hastily withdraw from the army because of a mere horse, but I will think that I have lost face, and I will make peace with the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, and make every effort to increase the army of the Han Kingdom." When the 600,000 Tang soldiers attack the Han State in separate ways, I wonder if Marshal Pan may be able to withstand it?"

This is said reasonably, and the generals of the Southern Han Dynasty cannot believe it. Seeing Pan Chongche's suspicious look, Xiao Han decided to burn another fire. He glanced at Pan Lang, turned his head and sneered at Pan Chongche: "I heard that the two generals in the Han army have the courage of ten thousand people, one Pan Lang and the other Liu Tong. Now General Pan is here, but he doesn't see General Liu, is he guarding Du Pangling?"

These military arrangements are naturally not secret, Pan Chongche said lightly: "Exactly, I heard that the Tang Army wanted to cross the ridge to attack our Pu, Gui, and Zhao prefectures, but unfortunately they were blocked by General Liu and his troops, as if it was as difficult to move an inch as Du Zhen, and now he is still struggling under the Dupang Ridge." ”

Xiao Han laughed and said: "My Datang Ministry of Defense didn't expect that Marshal Pan would personally lead his troops to the battle, so he sent a small part of his troops to attack Du Pangling. Now, in order to deal with Marshal Pan Lao, the Ministry of National Defense has ordered Jiangling to command Ning Qingshan to lead 10,000 troops, and Langzhou to command Quan Leiming to lead 8,000 troops to attack Dupangling at the same time. If peace cannot be reached today, tomorrow the Tang Army will divide 100,000 troops and horses to fight in Dupangling, and then divide 100,000 troops and horses to attack Guidong, Yongxing, Lianping, Meizhou, and other places.

Pan Chongche didn't expect Xiao Han to dare to speak like this in the enemy camp, and immediately said angrily: "You laugh at my big man, no one can do it?"
