Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 613 Chapter 630: Subduing the enemy without fighting

Yang Dingguo raised his head slightly, and said coldly: "I won't vote for Tang, don't waste your tongue."

Fan Lihua said coldly after hearing the words: "Then... Uncle Yang, how many soldiers and horses are there in Xinyuan City? How many days can they hold out under the iron hooves of my Tang Dynasty? Or how many hours? Do you want to watch this?" Watching them die in Huangquan?"

Yang Dingguo's face changed slightly when he heard the words, as if he had aged ten years. He turned his head and looked at Fan Lihua with cloudy eyes, his facial muscles trembling, and said slowly: "Dazhang died in battle, wrapped in horse leather, this is the home of soldiers, and they are also Your former comrades, and even many of them are soldiers trained by you, but now you want to kill them with your own hands, what right do you have to say about me."

Fan Lihua didn't change her face and said: "At this time, at that time, everyone is in charge. I am just doing what a commander should do. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield. This is what you taught me."

"Okay... okay..." Yang Dingguo smiled miserably, and said with a bleak face, "You really didn't disappoint me, your military strategy is excellent, when you were young, you were too kind, I always taught you that kindness does not control soldiers, Now you are decisive in killing and attacking, with a wave of your weapon, you lay dead for thousands of miles, you are doing well... you are doing well..."

Fan Lihua said calmly: "Uncle Yang, you don't have to ridicule me. You don't know how the Western Turks treated me. I, Fan Lihua, have always thrown peaches at me, rewarded me with plums, and rewarded me with virtue... Forgive me for not being able to do it."

Yang Dingguo suddenly stared and shouted: "Then why did the soldiers of the Western Turks ever betray you? They are innocent!"

Fan Lihua turned around slowly and paced with her hands behind her back, and said leisurely: "Uncle Yang is from the army, so he should also know that soldiers have had their heads hung on their belts since the moment they joined the army. The people are the innocent ones. Tian Khan wants to destroy the Western Turks, and no one can stop his will. If Li Hao were to come here in command, I am afraid that the more than 4 prisoners of war would have already turned into [-] corpses. I, Fan Lihua Leading troops to conquer the west, at least it can save the deaths of former comrades."

Yang Dingguo's eyes immediately dimmed when he heard the words. Although what Fan Lihua said was completely unreasonable, he had to admit that what she said was the truth. He had long heard that Li Hao's methods of fighting were brutal. He had killed prisoners of war for the convenience of marching and fighting. Not every time, but he knew that it was impossible for Li Hao to take more than 4 prisoners of war, it was too burdensome.

Seeing that Yang Dingguo stopped talking, Fan Lihua continued: "Now it is very inconvenient for me to bring [-] prisoners of war, and the food and grass are not enough to support them. If there is no other way tomorrow at noon, I can only kill these prisoners of war."

Hearing the words, Yang Dingguo suddenly raised his head and stared at Fan Lihua, his tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're threatening me?"

"Don't dare." Fan Lihua said without changing her expression, "Lihua just wants to persuade Uncle Yang to find a way out for these Western Turkic soldiers. The captives are all placed in Xinyuan City, and the food and grass in Xinyuan City should be sufficient at this moment."

"You have a wishful thinking..." Yang Dingguo looked at Fan Lihua with shocked eyes. Even though Fan Lihua was taught by him, the current Fanlihua has grown to the point that even he can't recognize it. From the confrontation to the present , all the schemes are intertwined, and he will be eaten to death. As long as he surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, he can save more than 4 comrades. What a temptation, as an old general with so many years of soldiers, He clearly knows the difficulties and hardships of every soldier.

"You...let me think about it..." Yang Dingguo had already begun to waver.

Fan Lihua was secretly happy when she heard the words, but her face remained calm, and she said while the iron was hot: "Uncle Yang, Ashina Heluren Khan has been there for several years, I must know Uncle Yang very well. Open-minded, but actually narrow-minded, you can see it from the arrangement of our Tang army this time, Uncle Yang, you have a great talent, he doesn't use it, but uses Ashina Shabi and Ge Biluo, the Western Turks are under his leadership There is no hope in today's Western Turks. In the east, there is the Tang Dynasty covetously. In the west, the Arab Empire has been harassing. It is true that there are wolves before and tigers. The West Turks seem to be rising in national power. A big tree with a heart, just a gust of wind, will crash down and destroy the country... It's just a matter of time."

Yang Dingguo's mouth moved, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything. He must have noticed these things. Seeing that he didn't speak, Fan Lihua said again: "Uncle Yang, like me, was born in Western Turkic and grew up in Western Turks, but where is your hometown, Uncle Yang? In Datang, no matter from your hometown or your blood, you are completely from the Tang Dynasty! This point, you can’t change it in your life! For Turkic people , you will always be an outsider! Because they also believe in that sentence - people who are not of my race must have a different heart, and what happened to my father is enough to prove this point!"

Yang Dingguo was moved when he heard the words, and looked at Fan Lihua in a daze, his face full of pain. In fact, Fan Hong's death touched Yang Dingguo a lot. Nahe Lu, don't be in a hurry to kill Fan Hong, it won't be too late until the truth of the matter is found out, but Ashina Helu didn't like him at all, he was headstrong and determined to go his own way, beheading all Fan Hong and his son, and the three of Fan Hong who were beheaded together For the grandson who is not yet ten years old, all the female relatives in the family have been reduced to female slaves.

From this point, it can be seen that what Fan Lihua said is absolutely correct, Ashina Helu really does not trust Tang officials.

There is one thing in the world that is very painful, that is, my heart is towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, Fan Hong and Yang Dingguo are willing to serve the Western Turks wholeheartedly, but the Western Turks are always in a state of suspicion of them and do not trust them at all. Very sad.

Yang Dingguo's expression was a little dull at the moment, his mouth moved lightly, and he said absentmindedly: "If I rebel, I will become a treason, and I will be infamous forever..."

Fan Lihua said indifferently: "It's just a false name, why should you care, is the life of the [-] comrades important, or Uncle Yang's false name?"

Yang Dingguo said without hesitation: "Naturally, the lives of the [-] troops are important."

"That's it." Fan Lihua said, "Li Hao, King Qiongnan of the Great Tang Dynasty, once said to me that the history books are written by the victors. The Tang Dynasty is now at the peak of its military power, invincible in the world, and the unification of the world is just around the corner. The history books are natural Compiled by the historian of the Tang Dynasty, what Uncle Yang will leave behind will not be a bad name, but a good name."

"Datang... is really too strong." When Yang Dingguo said this, his voice was trembling. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that Datang was too strong. Even if he was 20 years younger, he could not save the fate of Western Turks.

At this moment, Yang Dingguo no longer had any will to resist in his heart. After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly and said: "Okay, I promise you, surrender to Datang."

Fan Lihua finally showed a smile when she heard the words, and said: "Congratulations to Uncle Yang for abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, we will go to Xinyuan City later, and then we have to trouble Uncle to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, lest we all meet each other and cause unnecessary casualties."

In fact, she has been thinking about this all the time. Xinyuan City is very important to Fan Lihua at the moment, because she is running out of food and urgently needs supplies. Food and grass, come and burn together.

And as long as Yang Dingguo goes out, he will surely succeed in persuading surrender easily, and take Xinyuan without bloodshed. This is called a soldier who surrenders without fighting, and it is the best strategy.

"Okay." Yang Dingguo nodded when he heard the words, "However... Lihua, although there are only [-] troops in the royal court, it should not be underestimated. A month ago, my nephew came from the west and just led an army of [-]. The [-] troops who defeated the Great Food Kingdom are leading their troops back to the royal court, counting the days, they will almost arrive at the royal court, if you meet him, you must be careful."

"Your nephew?" Fan Lihua was taken aback when she heard the words, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally remembered, and suddenly said, "Uncle Yang is talking about the one who was beaten to vomit blood when he competed with me 13 years ago, right?" .”

"It's him." Yang Dingguo nodded, "After he was defeated by you that time, he was ridiculed by many people. He had no face to stay in West Turkic, and ran away from home in a fit of anger, saying that he was visiting an expert to learn skills. He came back after a few letters from home, saying that he was studying military art and martial arts in retreat with an expert. Even his father died in the battle, but he never came back. Last year, he finally came back from his studies and showed Ashina Helu Martial arts shocked the officials. Ashina Helu not only reinstated him as an official, but also sent him to lead troops to the west to fight against the cannibals. It seems that he has really learned the skills, if you meet him on the battlefield, you need to be careful."

"Oh? There is such a strange thing?" Fan Lihua immediately became interested when she heard the words. After all, she remembered that Yang Dingguo's nephew was about the same age as hers. It was a very happy thing to find a rival among her peers. She asked casually, "What's his name? I can't remember it for a while."

Yang Dingguo said: "His name is Yang Fan."
