Chapter 528 Start a war if you don't agree with each other
Right under the Huaiyuan Pass, Li Jing stared at Nusa Yanshou, as if if you don't give a reasonable explanation, we will attack the city.

"General Li, it's not that I deliberately detained the two of them, but we left Beisha City without attacking. I wanted to bring the two of them to exchange prisoners, but the two disagreed.

They said that they would go with their [-] soldiers, which our army could not agree to. "

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "What did you say? Sa Yanshou, we sent someone to talk about it before, but you dared to go back on what you said about releasing all the generals of the Tang Dynasty?
Do you mean to force our [-] soldiers to stay? "

Not to be outdone, Nusa Yanshou said in a deep voice: "The Tang Dynasty killed [-] warriors and occupied the five cities of Goguryeo and Liaodong. We can spare your generals in exchange for our envoys, but these warriors who killed me Our soldiers can’t do it, we have to give our countrymen an explanation.”

"Confession? What do you want to explain?
You Goguryeo Eulji Wende led troops to invade our Youzhou for no reason, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. Exterminating them is an explanation to the people of our Youzhou. "

"Then since you said that, it is reasonable for you to occupy our five cities in Liaodong, and we should leave them behind to explain." Nisa Yanshou proudly said, no matter what, this Koguryo counterattack is a self-defense counterattack, which is reasonable.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Jing laughed loudly: "Okay, very good, since the old man destroyed the Eastern Turks, he hasn't done anything for three years.

Since you insist on this, then fight!

You can go back to attack the city now, Cheng Zhijie, Niu Jinda and other [-] Tang soldiers, I will personally rescue them.

Hmph, you have to know, it wasn't Datang who begged you to exchange prisoners with us. Originally, as the commander in chief of the army, the old man was the main combat faction. Now it's my wish to have a good fight. Don't regret it. "

After saying this, Li Jing laughed and turned his horse back, and walked away. Chai Shao who followed behind deliberately shouted: "Marshal, go back and chop up those useless envoys to sacrifice the flags first!"

When Sa Yanshou heard this, he almost fell off his horse. He was too complacent before, and even forgot the original purpose. Provoking a big war is not the purpose, and getting back to the boss is the key point.

But at this time Li Jing had already led the team back, and if he wanted to pull it back, he would not be able to catch up with the peace talks, so he could only go back to the city in despair. A group of civil servants in the city must have disagreed with the war. The expense is enormous, and finance officials are already complaining.

After returning to the camp, Li Jing was immediately surrounded by people to ask about the situation.

Chai Shao laughed and explained the matter vividly, and Tang Jian who followed beside him laughed and said: "Pharmacist, I never thought that you are also a good debater. It seems that it is unnecessary for His Majesty to send us to Honglu Temple this time. Why don't you go back to me?" Tell Your Majesty, you come to our Honglu Temple to serve, if such a talented person does not come, it will be a loss to the Tang Dynasty..."

Everyone watched the old man Tang Jian's chattering performance, burst into laughter instantly, Li Jing was also speechless, this old guy, I asked you to come to do business, you are lucky, and you have a lot of fun.

Walking to the center of the handsome tent, Li Jing said solemnly: "Everyone, we have succeeded in this first step, but our family knows our own affairs, and I believe that the other party will not dare to fight with us easily. After all, Yuan Gai Suwen, the powerful minister of Goguryeo, is in our hands. So next, they will definitely send someone to talk.

In this regard, Honglu Temple will take action. Although the bottom line given by His Majesty is to rescue the soldiers, you can do nothing else, but if you can win more benefits for the country, you are bound to do so!
Before the other party finds out our details, you must conclude the negotiation as soon as possible, and return Lao Cheng and the others. "

Tang Jian smiled and looked at Du Gou, and at the same time gave a military salute to Li Jing: "I have orders, and I will obey the command of the commander!"

Sure enough, within half a day, Goguryeo sent a capable diplomat to the Datang camp.

"I am Park Manchang, the special envoy of Goguryeo for prisoner exchange. Please go and tell Marshal Li that we are sincerely here to discuss the issue of prisoner exchange."

The guarding general said coldly: "Go back, I'm sharpening my knife and waiting to go to war to kill the enemy, change the prisoners? The commander said, don't change, we will rescue the brother troops by ourselves."

"This this……"

Just when Pu Manchang was about to persist for a second, a loud shout came from inside, "Bastard, the two countries are fighting and the other party is coming, how can you be so rude? Why don't you back down!
Since you are coming from the opposite side, please come with me. If there is anything, we will go inside and discuss it in detail. "

Pu Manchang looked at the two people dressed as civil servants who came out of the camp in puzzlement, and he thought that he was reasonable, let's go in first and then talk.

It was Tang Jian and Du Gou who came here, and they brought Pu Manchang to the peace tent that had been set up a long time ago. The two sides divided the guests and hosts into seats, and Tang Jian spoke first.

"Your envoy, don't take offense. A group of soldiers are uneducated, don't know etiquette, and neglected."

"Dare to ask who you are?"

"Old man Tang Jian, the principal minister of Honghe Temple, this is Du Gou, the vice minister of Honghe Temple.

This time I came with the army, and it was in the name of His Majesty that I presided over the exchange of prisoners.

To tell you the truth, my Tang Dynasty is divided into two factions regarding this prisoner exchange. One faction is the military headed by Li Jing. They advocate war for revenge, which is unreasonable.

But we Honglusi and others feel that peace is the most important thing between countries, and everything can be discussed, and we don't advocate fighting. "Tang Jian began to fool the other party in a serious manner.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Park Manchang was overjoyed instantly, knowing that he was lucky enough to meet his peers.

"Tang Zhengqing is right. We in Goguryeo also hate war. It's just that your commander-in-chief is so focused on fighting that he really doesn't give him a chance."

Du Gou said: "What is your emissary talking about, in fact, I know the commander-in-chief. Although he likes to fight, he prefers to get something for nothing. He just wants something. If the other party doesn't give it, he will lead an army to take it by any means.

This time he insisted on fighting. From my point of view, it is not that he is warlike, but that you are too stingy and unwilling to give up chips. "

...Tang Jian looked back at Du Gou strangely, and thought, boy, you are tarnishing Li Jing's reputation by saying that, aren't you afraid that he will find something to do with you?
Hearing what the other party said, why didn't Park Manchang know that this was an opportunity to talk, and he was waiting for his own conditions.

"Oh, before the battle between the two armies, it was indeed our people who made a slip of the tongue.

Our commander said, I agree with your terms, and use your 6 troops and generals to exchange for the envoys you detained. However, in order to prevent your [-] people from fighting back, they need to give up their weapons and come to participate in the prisoner exchange. "

After hearing this, Du Gou couldn't help laughing and said: "It's over, it's over, no wonder the commander wants to start a war, you are not exchanging prisoners, you are obviously humiliating our commander, it is the two of us who didn't attack immediately The reason for coming forward to stop it."

"Why, why? I waited for the exchange of prisoners in good faith. How did I humiliate Marshal Li?" Park Manchang asked in surprise.

　Today's Chapter 10, a diplomatic battle begins, so stay tuned.
