Ji Tang

Chapter 1240 The first negotiation!

When Said walked out of the tent, he heard a huge noise in the direction of Ximen Pass. Before he could ask, Amuwiye appeared in front of him and said solemnly: "The entire Tang army at Ximen Pass was dispatched, lined up under the city, and several Hundreds of ballistae are in front of the formation, they are planning a general attack!"

General attack?
Said swayed, pushed Amuvi Yefan's horse away, and ran out of the camp.

Half a quarter of an hour later, when he looked at the dark Tang army in front of him and the intimidating ballista that caused Dashi heavy losses, he almost fainted.

He gritted his teeth and said: "What a Ji Song, what a Duke of the Tang Dynasty, I can bear it!"

Looking around, there are tens of thousands of troops here, let alone 15 troops.But for all this time, they thought that the other side only had tens of thousands of troops stationed at Ximen Pass.

They were cheated!
This was obviously a trap. He was using Ximen Pass to hold them back, making them think there was still hope of conquering Ximen Pass, so that he had to divide his troops and go north to Henglus, and then defeat them one by one!

With good tactics and good tolerance, he won’t lose unfairly!
But he is not reconciled!

"Report~"

Just when he was distracted, a soldier ran up and shouted: "Cavalry Governor, the scouts are reporting that a large number of Tang troops of unknown numbers have appeared behind our army and are coming towards us. Their forwards have reached our army thirty miles away." outside."

puff~
Selder spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell down amidst everyone's panic.
The dim tent was lit by this light, and Selder slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was none other than Amul.

"you're awake!"

Amul's voice felt strange to Seld, as if he was talking to a stranger, full of a sense of distance!
Seld smiled bitterly: "Are you blaming me?"

"if not?"

At this time, Amul no longer obeyed orders as before, but became rational and disappointed.How desperate the disappointment is when a person whom you can only look up to in normal times falls off the altar!

How great is the expectation, how great is the disappointment.

The depth of love and the intensity of hate are what they are talking about.

Selder's expression darkened and he mocked, "I've let you down!"

But what surprised Selder was that Amul shook his head and said: "I was a weirdo before, but after seeing the Tang army today, I can only say that our expectations for you are too high."

"This way I feel better in my heart. Ji Song was too tolerant and gave us too much wrong information. When he came out of the city to burn the catapult and defeated Amuwiye, we should have known that things were not that simple. We were The glory of the past has blinded our eyes. Our constant invincibility has made us lose our vigilance."

"We were not defeated unjustly!"

Selder was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved. Yes, a defeat is a defeat. If they lose to people like Ji Song, they are not unjust!
Just what to do next?
Amul seemed to know what he was thinking. After being silent for a while, he said: "Tomorrow, you can order me to negotiate with Datang. This is our last chance!"

Quiet, the big tent was terribly quiet for a moment!
After a long time, a sigh sounded!
"Will they agree?"

"If you don't agree, we will fight to the death. Even if we die, we won't let them have an easy time. We still have one month's food reserves, which is enough!"

Selder was stunned, looking at Amul who was flickering under the light and said: "I'm not as good as you!"

A big seal appeared in Amul's eyes. In the past, he was full of awe of this big seal, but today he was surprisingly calm, just like looking at an ordinary stone.

"The order to negotiate was given by me and has nothing to do with anyone else. When the army is out of danger, I, Said Osman, will apologize to the Caliph!"

There was silence again. After a long time, Selder said: "Amuwiye, what do you think?"

"Young, brave, resourceful, and extremely ambitious!"

"Oh!"

Selder didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this, and time passed like this little by little.The two of them were like friends, chatting with each other.
woo~
Boom~
The Dashi barracks opened wide and the army came out in full force.

On the top of the city, Pingyang was rarely seen wearing a woman's armor and holding a spear. Although he had been pampered for many years, his heroic appearance had not been compromised at all.

"What choice will Dashi make?" Pingyang said thoughtfully.

"Ah!"

Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "Do they have any other choice?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they understood his incarnation.Yes, their retreat was cut off, most of their elite troops were lost, and their food and grass were taken by the Tang Dynasty. They had no choice but to make a desperate move regardless of the consequences.

"coming!"

At this moment, Chai Shao, who had been observing the opponent's movements, put down his telescope and said calmly.

Sure enough, everyone saw that one man and one horse walked out of the food army alone, walking towards the Tang army as if there was no one around.

"It's a man!"

Guo Xiaoke sighed.

At this time, he actually felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead, but he quickly calmed down and wanted to see what Dashi would say.

"Go down and tell people not to embarrass him!" Ping Yang said.

"promise!"

Soon, Pingyang's order came out, and someone personally led the visitor to the top of the city.

Amul was dressed in black and had a black turban on his head, like a ghost in the dark.He went up to the city wall and did not look at others. Instead, he stood at the top of the city and looked outside the city.

"What a majestic pass! What a pity!"

Pingyang said expressionlessly: "It's no shame. Tell me, what are you here for?"

Amul looked back at Pingyang, but was stunned when he saw a woman: "Who are you?"

"Bold."

back off!
Pingyang waved Chai Shao away, looked at the other party and said: "I am the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Pingyang. Who are you!"

Amul put one hand on his chest and bowed: "Deputy General of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Amul!"

"Oh? Where's Seld? Why doesn't he come?"

Pingyang was testing to see if Seld had returned to the Dashi military camp.

After taking a deep look at Pingyang, Amul said calmly: "As the commander of the army, how can I be involved in danger? It's enough for me!"

"You seem unconvinced?" Cheng Yaojin sneered.

"If I face Ji Song, I will be convinced, but you..." He shook his head and said: "You can't do it!"

"you"

Cheng Yaojin was furious.

"You are very arrogant!" Pingyang sneered: "I just wonder if you will still be so arrogant when facing death?" Amul was not angry and said calmly: "Death is just returning to the embrace of Allah. This It’s their honor and our luck, so why should we be afraid?”

"But the Dashi soldiers in Henros don't think so. There are many surrenders!"

Hearing this, Amul's anger showed, but he was quickly suppressed and said in a cold voice: "Speak directly, why do you let us go?"

Without waiting for Pingyang to answer, he mocked: "That's right, you haven't made your own decision yet. Do you want to wait until Ji Song comes back?"

Pingyang was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke.Not only him, but others were also laughing.

"Are you actually sowing discord? Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. Are you so provocative? Are you capable of sowing discord?"

Pingyang sneered and said: "Put away your childish tricks, these are all leftover from my games in the Central Plains. You can leave if you want, it depends on how much price you can pay."

"You can call the shots?"

Pingyang shook his head and said: "No, but if you can't convince us, I advise you to go back and prepare for the war. The general has more tastes than us."

Amul remained silent until a long time later, and then said: "The Tang Dynasty now cedes all the occupied land to you as the boundary. But you must ensure that our army reaches the west of the Heli River smoothly, otherwise"

"I would rather fight to the death!"

Pingyang shook his head and said: "Not enough!"

"This is our bottom line!"

Amul seemed to have lost the patience to negotiate, and sneered: "Don't think that you are sure of victory. If you push us too hard, the worst is possible. Even if you die, I won't make it easy for you!"

"In addition, 50 dinar gold coins, this is our final bottom line!"

"It's still not enough!"

Amul's expression froze and he said angrily: "Don't bully others too much!"

Pingyang sneered: "You started the war, isn't it a bit ironic to say this now? If you fail, you have to accept the price of failure. If these are the only conditions, you should think about it carefully!"

"Oh, right!"

Pingyang seemed to have just remembered something and said with concern: "I have some unfortunate news for you. Constantine II of the Eastern Roman Empire, who was bullied by you, plans to join forces with us, the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity."

what?
Amur broke out in cold sweat. How did the Tang Dynasty get in touch with the Eastern Roman Empire?He doesn't know now whether it was Datang who bombed him or whether it was true.

But he didn't dare to bet, because if it was true, it would really break the news.

All the elites of Dashi were lost. If the Eastern Roman Empire intervened at this time, Dashi would really be over.You must know that the Eastern Roman Empire represents more than just themselves. If the many kingdoms and noble territories under its marriage are included, those left behind by the Dashi will simply not be able to resist it.

Before, they didn't worry about the other party joining forces because there was no benefit.But things are different now. Dashi is in an unprecedented state of weakness. Once the news here spreads back, they will surely attack in packs like hungry wolves.

Whatever they have treated them over the years, they will definitely pay it back double.

Thinking of this, he was no longer in the mood to chat with the other party.Without Ji Song, no matter how good they talk here, it won't be decisive.He must tell Governor Said and the Caliph the news as soon as possible.

"Since we can't reach an agreement, I'll take my leave first. I have to ask Mr. Seld for instructions on some matters, so I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, he left, but Pingyang stopped him.

"Go back and tell Seld that time waits for no one. If we haven't made a decision when our general arrives, then we can only say sorry!"

Amul didn't look back, just nodded, and then left without looking back.

When Amul left, Cheng Yaojin wondered: "Are we a little bit different?"

"A little greedy?"

Pingyang stood up and said with a smile: "Greedy? Where are you going from here? That means Ziyi is not here. If he is here, he will never let him go easily."

"You may not know that ceding territory and paying compensation is the most basic condition after the defeat of the West. 50 dinars? How about sending beggars? You see, if Ziyi doesn't get back the money from this war, the 50 dinars will Nalbane Palace is out.”

Guo Xiaoke listened confused and whispered: "What is this dinar? I think it's worth something, right?"

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You ask me who I'm going to ask? Go, go, go, stay here if you have nothing to do, and pick up whichever pot you want!"

"you"

Pingyang waved his hands and said: "Okay, how old are you now, and you still act like a child? I'm not afraid that everyone will read the joke."

"The dinar is a currency commonly used in the West. There are 50 gold coins made of gold, which is about 6000 kilograms of gold. I said that when you are free, can you take a good look at the information about the West? Even this I have been fighting with him for more than a year without knowing anything about it. Fortunately, I know a little bit about it. If the secret was exposed just now, I, the Tang Dynasty, would be completely embarrassed."

Pingyang said with a look of disgust.

Guo Xiaoke couldn't hide things anymore and said carefully: "If there are gold coins, there should be silver coins and copper coins. Our Tang Dynasty is short of copper. How about asking for copper directly? I just don't know how many copper coins can be exchanged for one gold coin? Princess?"

"Uh! Well, I still have something to do. You want to discuss it. You can check these small things by yourself and don't bother me."

After saying that, he immediately left the city, but it looked like he was running away?
"Did I say something wrong?" Guo Xiaoke looked confused!
"No, you're right, you're just a little stupid!"

Patting his shoulder, Chai Shao said with a look of gloating on his face: "I didn't expect you still have such a side, Lao Guo? It will be hidden again in the future, so you can just say what you need to say. Look, Pingyang even asked you to leave, okay?" What a skill!"

Guo Xiaoke was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he trembled: "You mean the princess doesn't know?"

"Hey! Aren't you stupid!"

Chai Shao said proudly: "I'm telling you, please don't tell anyone. If Pingyang finds out, I'll be dead!"

Everyone nodded solemnly and promised not to say anything about Da Shi. Chai Shao then said mysteriously: "Just last night, in order to cope with the upcoming negotiations, Pingyang has been checking all aspects of Da Shi. It would be good to remember these. "

"You're the only one who talks too much. That's fine now. Just after you've finished feeling proud, you dig into his corner. Anyway, just be careful and avoid him from now on."

Guo Xiaoke nodded numbly, and then left without looking back, as if thinking about what to do?Not only him, Cheng Yaojin also left, but I don’t know when.

"That's weird, why are everyone gone?"

Just when Chai Shao was feeling strange, he felt a chill behind him, and when he saw the shadow under his feet, he trembled all over.

"Chai Shao!"

"You will die for me!"

boom!
Then, the quiet city wall suddenly sounded like a slaughtering pig howling.Cheng Yaojin and others watched quietly from the steps, shaking their heads repeatedly and saying: "This old man is good at everything, but he just has this mouth!"

A few people watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously. They watched Pingyang beating Chai Shao, commenting on it, and even planned to give advice.If he wasn't worried about getting burned, it wouldn't be impossible to go out and help Pingyang.

Until the evening, Chai Shaoding's panda eyes appeared in front of everyone's eyes. His resentful eyes made everyone tremble and quickly got up and left, leaving only Chai Shao's angry and angry curses.
