Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1444 Persuade to surrender
The morning sunlight fell on the ground, fell on Xinghai City, and fell on the blood stains. Even the warm morning light could not dispel the bloody atmosphere outside Xinghai City.

However, the soldiers on the city wall had long been accustomed to the bloody smell, and the sun shining on them made them feel a little lazy.

Although the Tubo army outside the city was slowly approaching, they were not nervous at all, and they were even in the mood to bask in the sun.

In fact, what they think in their hearts is that it would be great if the Tibetans attacked more bravely, or if the British army could come sooner, it would be great if they can fight but can't let go. It's so frustrating.

Although lazily feeling the warmth of the sun, they are actually ready to defend the city.

But what made them feel a little puzzled was that the Tubo army stopped and was not as eager to attack the city as before.

Why did it stop suddenly?Could it be some conspiracy?
Just when everyone was a little surprised, they suddenly discovered that a horse had stepped out of the Tubo army.

Yes, only one ride.

That rider came towards the city wall, not too fast or slow, as if to show that he had no malicious intentions.

Seeing this ride, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be to persuade you to surrender? Isn't this kind of bridge too old-fashioned?"

Xue Wanche also had doubts: "It seems to be persuading surrender, but is Songtsan Gampo crazy? Why would he want to persuade him to surrender?"

Not to mention that Su Cheng had a high position in the Tang Dynasty, a powerful family, a rich wife and beautiful concubines, and even a place like Tubo, who would want to go?

Su Cheng patted the city wall and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. It shows that Songtsan Gampo really feels that Xinghai City is about to be captured, and that our Xinghai City is almost at the end of its rope!"

After thinking about it, Xue Wanche felt that this was indeed the truth, but Songtsan Gampo was also quite stupid.

The rider moved forward at a steady pace, and had already entered the range of the artillery.

However, the sound of artillery did not ring out, and the cavalrymen on horseback felt much more relieved. Songtsan Gampo, who had been watching closely, couldn't help being delighted when he saw this. Su Cheng didn't give the order to fire. good thing.

In fact, Su Cheng had already guessed that Songtsan Gampo wanted to persuade him to surrender. Of course, he had no interest in it at all, but after thinking about it, he decided that he should not directly order the cavalry to be shot and killed. After all, he had to appease Songtsan Gampo , still have to lure Songtsen Gampo to continue attacking the city.

"No need to fire, no need to shoot, just let him come over." Su Cheng ordered with a smile.

Naturally, the generals didn't have any objections, it was just a Tubo man, let alone put him next to the city wall, even if he was let into the city, wouldn't there be any troubles?
The cavalry arrived at the base of the city wall without haste, and the cavalry raised their heads and shouted: "The guard of the city is Duke Rong of the Tang Dynasty?"

Su Cheng nodded slightly to the side, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and shouted: "It is our father-in-law who guards the city!"

The cavalry shouted: "The Duke is famous all over the world. We Zanpu is very heartbroken for the Duke. Although he is not masked, he is a close friend. Here is a letter to the Duke."

This turned out to be a letter of persuasion!
Xue Wanche and the others couldn't help getting excited. Of course, they weren't excited because of the surrender letter, but because the cavalryman's words were revealed.
After all, the cavalry directly drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows shot directly on the flagpole on the city wall like a shooting star, which was a good archery skill.

After shooting this arrow, the cavalry rode back as if they had been pardoned.

Immediately, some personal soldiers stepped forward and took down the letter tied to the arrow.

Su Cheng didn't shy away from Xue Wanche and the others, so he opened the letter and read it directly.

After reading a few words, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Xue Wanche and the others felt very curious when they heard the laughter, but it was difficult to ask each other.

Su Cheng didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "This letter was indeed written by Songtsan Gampo. It said that he had led an army to defeat the armies of British Duke, Lu Guogong, and E Guogong, and defeated them. Now It has already retreated to Longyou."

"So now Xinghai City has become an isolated city, an isolated city that cannot be rescued by a large army, and Xinghai City is almost at the end of its rope."

It stands to reason that such a letter should not be read in front of everyone, because it may affect morale.

But Su Cheng just read it, and he read it in a very relaxed tone, as if he thought it was very fun.

Because he is not afraid that this will affect the morale of the army. If this offensive and defensive battle is really fierce, if the city is really at the point where it is about to run out, then he will definitely not read it, and he will even take it. When I was writing the letter, I tore it up in front of everyone.

Xue Wanche and the others couldn't help laughing out loud after listening to it, and now they finally understood why Su Cheng laughed out loud while reading the letter.

"This Songtsan Gampo is too stupid, isn't he?"

"Yeah, it's so silly and cute!"

Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said: "That's because you already know the truth, so you think he is stupid. If you don't know that he has fallen into a trap, think about it, his letter of persuasion is quite clever. "

Xue Wanche scratched his head and said, "Duke, it's not that my old Xue underestimated the Tubo people. How could they defeat the Duke of England, Duke of E and Duke of Lu?"

Su Cheng couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this. What Xue Wanche said was also reasonable. Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong had great prestige in the army, which Zhang Liang could not compare to.

And, indeed, in terms of military capabilities Zhang Lianghe, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong were more than a notch behind.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Tibetans to defeat the three armies so quickly.

Su Cheng continued to read, and said with a smile: "He also said that those who know current affairs are heroes, and they want me to serve, and then make me king."

Li Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Who wants to be king in a place where the birds don't shit?"

Su Cheng thought for a while after reading the letter, and said with a smile, "Bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I'll write back a letter to Songtsan Gampo!"

Soon some soldiers offered pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Su Cheng picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper.

When Su Cheng wrote the reply again, he didn't shy away from Xue Wanche and the others. After finishing writing, he blew on the ink and said with a smile: "With this reply, there should be no need to worry that Songtsan Gampo will retreat. He should work harder attack!"

Xue Wanche laughed and said, "I hope they will work harder when attacking the city, so that we can have a good time!"

"Shoot it!" Su Cheng handed the letter directly to Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche was also unambiguous, and directly tore a piece of cloth from his body, tied the letter to the arrow, and then drew the bow like a full moon.
