Listening to Li Hong's words, the Tubo people shook their heads like rattles.
If you Datang cavalry are allowed to enter the city, what is the difference between abandoning the city and surrendering
I want you to go in alone because I want to discuss with you whether we can avoid attacking the city and give everyone a decent way to expose what happened today.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I'm sorry, we can't open the city gate for you and all your soldiers to go in together. You can only select a small number of people to accompany you in." The Tubo man explained solemnly.
"Do you think I can't break through the city gate and need your help?" Although Li Hong had a relaxed smile on his face, the arrogance and murderous tone in his tone made the Tubo people feel frightened.
If the devil in front of us continues to use his thunder to attack the city, not to mention the city wall, even the Potala Palace in the holy city may not be able to withstand the explosion of the thunder.
The only worry of Zampu and the Prime Minister was that after the Tang cavalry invaded the city, they would destroy the Potala Palace that the previous great Zampu had worked so hard to build, so they sent envoys out of the city to negotiate peace.
This was also done after Zanpu and the Prime Minister sought the advice of Princess Wencheng, the mother of the Holy Savior Buddha.
I hope she can come forward and, as the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, invite His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty to go to the Potala Palace alone for peace talks.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I have no intention of offending your majesty, nor do I mean to despise the bravery of your country's soldiers. Our great Zanpu, sincerely hopes that after many of us have died in the war, we can sit down for peace. Talk about it, we have been friendly with the noble Tang Dynasty for generations, and the marriage of Holy Savior Buddha Mother to our great Zanpu is an important proof. We hope to be friendly with the Tang Dynasty forever... "
"So you invaded and occupied Tuyuhun despite the opposition of the Tang Dynasty, and then you thought it was not enough, and sent troops to Yutian and other places to attack the Tang Dynasty?" Li Hong interrupted the Tubo people and asked.
When the Tubo people left the city, they were told by the Holy Savior Buddha Mother not to have a verbal confrontation with Li Hong. That guy was too slippery.
When they were in Chang'an City, even his father and mother were often left speechless by his sophistry.
"We sincerely apologize to the Tang Dynasty. Although it was Tuyuhun who first attacked us when we occupied Tuyuhun, we are willing to apologize to the distinguished Tang Dynasty for this matter. Also, our Zanpu, in order to express our gratitude to the Tang Dynasty We are sincere in our friendship with the Tang Dynasty and are willing to discuss with you in the Potala Palace the return of the Tuyuhun land." The Tibetan people did not hold back and began to tell Li Hong about their plans.
Li Hong looked at the city gate and smiled disdainfully, and said: "First of all, you made a mistake. Tuyuhun belongs to our Tang Dynasty, not returned by you Tubo. It belongs to our Tang Dynasty now. How can we talk about you Tubo?" Zanpu returns me the Tang Dynasty?”
Li Hong turned over and dismounted, and immediately Quan Yi, Lawless, Cheetah, and Jingzhe also dismounted at the same time. They looked at the Tubo man warily, with the intention of having his head removed immediately if he dared to make the slightest move.
Li Hong circled around the Tubo people, patted the Tubo people on the shoulders, and said calmly: "The initiator of a war does not necessarily mean the winner. Similarly, the initiator of a war does not necessarily have the right to stop it. One side of the war. War is never a game where if you want to fight, I will fight with you. If you want to negotiate a peace, I should sit down with you to negotiate a peace! Since you have chosen to start a war, you must be prepared to be destroyed. Isn’t it?”
"... Please, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, for the sake of the Holy Savior Buddha Mother who was once the princess of your country, and for the sincerity of our Tubo Zanpu, please stop the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty from continuing to conquer our Tubo." The eyes of the Tubo people Full of unyielding, but still pleading.
"Then open the city gate and let the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty enter the city." Li Hong stood opposite the Tubo people and said resolutely.
"We can't open the city gate for your army. We Tubo only welcome you into our holy city. Please, Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, please don't embarrass me, a little envoy?" The Tubo man raised his head, Looking at Li Hong.
"Since there is no other way, let us open the city gate ourselves. Quan Yi and Lawless are ready to attack the city." Li Hong never talks nonsense. Today, for the sake of Aunt Wencheng, he has given the Tubo people a chance. If you don't cherish it, don't blame him.
"Wait a minute." The Tubo man was shocked. He didn't expect that they would not give him a chance to bargain.
"Say, show your sincerity, otherwise, I won't mind razing this holy city to the ground in the eyes of you Tubo people." Li Hong's stern expression was filled with murderous intent.
The Tubo people looked at Li Hong who was full of murderous intent and had no idea for a moment.
What kind of sincerity does the Prince of the Tang Dynasty want? He didn't know clearly. Perhaps, the prince of the Tang Dynasty had no intention of peace talks at all, and only wanted to break through Luoche City. Through this battle, Tubo would be permanently nailed to the pillar of shame of defeat.
And this is indeed Li Hong's thinking. He has been fighting in Tubo for nearly a year and a half. If he negotiates peace just because Tubo wants peace, wouldn't his efforts this year be in vain
What he wants is to break through the powerful Tubo holy city of Luoche City, so as to deter other restless small countries, and tell the foreign countries that there is only one country with absolute say here, and that is the Tang Dynasty.
"I am willing to give you someone." The Tibetan man suddenly said.
"Who are you?" Li Hong's sharp gaze was as sharp as a knife, making Tubo people's hearts tremble.
"My minister Chidu Songjie has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty." Chidu Songjie held his head high and said coldly.
one person? This incident reminded Li Hong, could he be the person who has been behind him and disrupting him in Chang'an City
"Who do you want to give it to me?" Li Hong asked in a deep voice.
"A person whom we in Tubo call a mysterious man." Chidu Songjie said with a serious expression.
Li Hong stared at Chidu Songjie without saying a word. This guy was very cunning and difficult to deal with. He sent Heng Qiao to contact him. Even when he came to the city, this guy didn't let go, and there was no real evidence that he was on the side of the Tang Dynasty. .
Now give yourself a mysterious person? So who could it be? Or is this just a bait
"Do you know the identity of the mysterious man? The man who has been helping you in Tubo and smuggling prohibited items from the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong asked in confirmation.
"Zamp knows the identity of the mysterious man. I don't know, but I can convince Zamp to tell you that person's information, as long as you..."
"As long as I don't attack the city and follow you into Luosu City, then you will convince your Zanpu to tell me. If you can't convince, you have no responsibility because you have tried your best." Li Hong did not look at it after he finished speaking Xiang Chidu Songjie, this guy is too cunning, and all these words are actually just to lure him into the city alone.
He knew better than anyone that his father's letter for help to Aunt Wencheng would become a tool used by the Tubo people after he entered Luoxe City.
The Tubo people could imprison themselves and then use themselves as a threat to break out of the siege.
Then, they would use their father's letter of distress to Aunt Wen Cheng to escort them back to the Tang Dynasty. The excuse was, of course, to help their father send them back to Chang'an.
And my father still had to accept Tubo's favor, and then he would really be a mute eating Coptis chinensis, and he would be in trouble.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, please believe me. I assure you with the most noble and pure personality of Tubo that I will definitely be able to convince our Zanpu to tell you who the mysterious man is." Chidu Songjie looked at Li Hong asked for a crossbow, and then placed an arrow with a green arrow on the string.
Li Hong squinted his eyes and looked at an invisible skull ten meters away from the city gate.
Needless to say, this skull was naturally the explosive spot left outside by Heng Qiao when he was planting explosives.
"Chidu Songjie, you have no chance. I said I hope to see your sincerity, but now I only see your cunning." Li Hong raised his crossbow, aimed at the skull, and said lightly .
Chidu Songjie was shocked. Indeed, he had only heard about the mysterious man yesterday. He had only one purpose, which was to lure His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty into Luoche City, and then use this to blackmail the Tang people into retreating.
"Boom..."
A strong explosion sounded suddenly like thunder, and Chidu Songjie's heart trembled as he was thinking about it, as if it was burst by the explosion, and slowly sank.
His whole face turned pale all of a sudden, and he glanced at the sneer on Li Hong's face with dull eyes, and then slowly turned his head to look like a puppet.
"Boom...boom...boom."
The explosion that shook the earth caused dust to fly from the city wall of Luoxue City, accompanied by a strange smell.
The entire Luoche City seemed to be in an explosion, as if it was crumbling in the explosion.
Even the snow-capped mountains in the distance seemed to feel a strong vibration, and a large snowdrift rolled down from the mountainside of the snow-capped mountains.
The Potala Palace blew the horn, and as the dull horn blew rapidly, the sound of horse hooves also sounded from the city.
"You...your sky thunder shattered the wall of our holy city?" Chidu Songjie was not only shocked but also regretful. He regretted that he should not have played tricks with this devil, and regretted that he did not follow the advice of the Holy Savior to invite the Buddha. Li Hong.
"The only thing you can do now is to run over and tell your Tibetan soldiers to surrender. Otherwise, they will be blown to pieces by thunder like the stones on the city wall." Li Hong admired the dense clouds on the city wall in the distance. Smoke billowing, he said lightly.
"I don't believe, I don't believe that your Tang Dynasty has so many thunders, why don't we!" Chidu Songjie's eyes turned red, and his heart kept sinking.
He thought of the Tang man who was sent to separate himself from Tubo. The Tang man who disappeared late at night and appeared in front of him tiredly in the early morning - Heng Qiao!
