"Stop, what are you doing here again?" Lu Yuqing, the Minister of Rites, came to the city gate carrying a white flag, and the head of a thousand households shouted loudly. ???????????????????????????????????????????????: The soldiers guarding the city also knew him. Besides, the white flag representing negotiation was also quite eye-catching, so no one picked up their bows and arrows to aim at him. "On behalf of Datang, I want your Zanpu to negotiate. You can't make the decision on this matter. Go and report it quickly." The head of Qian household shouted loudly: "Negotiation, what are you negotiating for? What are your intentions?" Lu Yuqing raised his head high. The tall one, like a proud swan, said with disdain: "I am just a weak scholar with no attendants and no weapons. Why, aren't you warriors who claim to be not afraid of death? Why, are you afraid?" There were so many people, but one person laughed at him. Besides, Lu Yuqing was indeed alone, without a single bodyguard. Although the head of the thousand households was extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with his words, he still admired his courage. He dared to enter the "tiger's den" alone. He did not dare to neglect such a big event and immediately went to report it to Songtsen Gampo. About two-quarters of an hour later, the gate of Luoxue City quietly opened a crack. After Lu Yuqing, who was negotiating on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, entered, he quickly closed it with a "bang", for fear that the Tang army would take the opportunity to cover up and come in. "Who is here?" Lu Yuqing had just arrived at the main hall of the palace, and before he could speak, Songtsen Gampo suddenly shouted loudly. This sound was very sudden. Songtsen Gampo deliberately showed off his power and shouted condescendingly. His words were filled with the majesty of a superior. When ordinary people heard it, they would be frightened and trembled, but Lu Yuqing's expression remained unchanged. Calm and composed, he saluted with neither humility nor arrogance and said: "Lu Yuqing, the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, has met Lord Zanpu." Songtsen Gampo's face darkened, and he said with a frosty face: "Bold, a little Minister. Look. Why don't you kneel down when you come to this Zanpu?" As soon as he finished speaking, the four guards on the side drew their scimitars and pointed them at Lu Yuqing. One of them put the scimitar on Lu Yuqing's neck and shouted loudly: "Kneel down, or else I will kill you. Cut off the head. "Negotiation is also an integral part of war. If there are conflicts that cannot be reconciled, they can only fight each other. When the fight reaches a certain level, the two parties will negotiate again until both parties can accept it. In order to obtain greater benefits in the negotiation, it can be said that they rack their brains and cannot be frightened just now. Immediately equip Lu Yuqing with weapons and force him to enter his own rhythm, thereby taking the initiative in the negotiation. "Hahaha" Lu Yuqing said loudly without changing his expression: "It's ridiculous. I kneel to heaven and earth, to the king, to my parents, but I don't kneel to the enemy." "You are not afraid of me. "Pu kill you?" "I'm afraid I won't come." Lu Yuqing raised his head high. He said with a serious face: "I have been ordered to come here to negotiate with Mr. Zanpu to discuss something that will please everyone and benefit both parties. If Mr. Zanpu is willing to talk, then we will open the door and be honest. There is no need to use swords or guns. If you don't want to negotiate, if you want to fight or kill, you can do whatever you want. If someone from me, Lu, utters even a word of begging for mercy, he will not be considered a man." The words were spoken with dignity and dignity, and everyone was present. Everyone was shocked by him. The Tang Dynasty is really full of talents. Not only are there many famous generals, but even a small minister is so brave. No wonder the country is at its peak. Songtsen Gampo rolled his eyes twice, then laughed and waved his hand to ask the guards to retreat. Then he said with a smile: "I was just joking with Mr. Lu just now. I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so honest and admirable. Okay, I appreciate it." "I dare to do it." "Just now, Minister Lu said that there is something that will bring joy to both parties. I don't know what he is talking about?" Songtsen Gampo asked calmly while sitting in his seat. Lu Yuqing said directly: "Zanpu is a straightforward person, so I got straight to the point. I came here this time to discuss the exchange of prisoners with Master Zanpu." It is indeed like this. Songtsen Gampo secretly said in his heart, in fact, He guessed Lu Yuqing's intention early on, and said calmly when he heard the words: "Oh, tell me, where is the joy and where is the benefit?" In this way, people on both sides can go home and reunite with their families. Isn't this the best of both worlds? " Songtsen Gampo was not very interested and shook his head and said, "Isn't this the best of both worlds? What's the benefit of seeing it?" Lu Yuqing was surprised and asked quickly: "Why did Mr. Zanpu say this? Aren't they your people?" "We, Tubo, are different from the Tang Dynasty. We prefer death to death. Yang, that is the supreme glory of life. These captured people are a shame to Tibet. They are not worthy of being rescued by this Zanpu. At least"Those people of the Tang Dynasty are very effective human shields for us." Songtsan Gampo said with a cold face: "You said Zampu, if we exchange these people who can protect lives for those useless wastes, we still have the best of both worlds. ? "This Songtsen Gampo is so cruel. Not only is he cruel to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but he also doesn't care about his own people. I don't know if he really doesn't care, or he wants to take the initiative in negotiations, so he speaks like this." Lu Yuqing, the Minister of Rites, only briefly said He was surprised by Songtsan Gampo's indifference towards his people, but he quickly calmed down and said without being humble or condescending: "Master Zanpu's words are wrong. " "Oh, tell me how to use the method. " Lu Yuqing raised his voice and said loudly: "The human shield the general mentioned is just taking advantage of our Tang army's unwillingness to shoot its own people, so as to achieve the purpose of covering up. It is impossible in the army to eat everything with one move. , In fact, Zamp also knows that the war between the two countries is related to the lives of tens of millions of people in the two countries. A huge war cannot be controlled by just a few thousand people, or so, then this point Aren¡¯t people allowed to do whatever they want in the Tang Dynasty? " After a pause, Lu Yuqing continued: "Lord Zanpu also saw that although the people of the Tang Dynasty took the initiative to defect today, the Fire Gun Team of the Tang Dynasty has tied up with white silk ribbons. It is a way of farewell to the Tang Dynasty. Our coach has made up his mind to send them on their way. He would rather bear the infamy than let them be manipulated. Therefore, the term human shield is no longer applicable. The one in the hands of Lord Zamp has now become one that can only eat, They don¡¯t have much use value and they have to be careful of those who suddenly riot." "As for the captured Tubo people, saying that they are trash is a bit exaggerated. The Tubo army collapsed at the first touch, and the army has no fighting spirit. How can we blame the lack of an army? What about the civilians who were protected? They actively paid taxes in the past and paid them in vain? Besides, when we captured Pibo City, there were many nobles and lords there who had supported you since you came to power. Are they also useless? Like Lord Trisang Yangdun¡¯s uncle¡¯s family, the two elders of Qiongbo Bangse clan and their families, General Lunqinling¡¯s third concubine, oh, yes, and the child in her belly, the Ga family Relatives of the clan, Turtle Chieftain, etc., these are not trash, right? ¡± As an old capital, Pibo City has a lot of upper-class nobles living in it. The new capital is full of vitality, and the old capital is full of memories. Many conservative or elderly nobles like to spend the winter in Pibo City. Unexpectedly, they were picked up by Hou Junji. This time it involves nobles, and there are so many powerful nobles, it¡¯s hard to say Songtsen Gampo, people like Lun Qinling, Chisang Yangdun, Qiongbo Bangse and others are all now. He is his right-hand man. If he makes them angry, he will be alone and will lose without fighting. No, when he talks about people from his own family or his own clan, Chisang Yangdun and Qiongbo are present. Bangse didn't say anything, and looked into his eyes with an expectant look. "What do you want?" "Songtsen Gampo finally lost his temper. "This Shilang Lu is right. The first time he was caught off guard and had no countermeasures, so he chose to retreat. However, when the two countries are at war, the relationship will not change just because of the tens of thousands of civilians. , It is already very good to succeed once. Tang Jun cannot be so naive. In front of so many important ministers, Songtsen Gampo cannot go too far. Lu Yuqing smiled slightly. All this has been expected. The city is managed by Abo Se, and no one can hide from him. Not one of the dignitaries in the city has escaped. When they need to be used, they will be found immediately. Exchange the people of the Tang Dynasty in your hands. Ordinary people will exchange one for one, and noble lords will exchange for ten. Is this fair enough? "Exchanging the Tubo nobles and soldiers for the Tang Dynasty's worthless slaves is simply a huge profit. If you replace it with someone else, you can capture so many important people and make a huge sum of money. I didn't expect it to be huge." The Tang Dynasty was so generous, and it was simply worth it to exchange ten slaves from the Tang Dynasty for a lord. Chisang Yangdun and Qiongbo Bangse both had joy in their eyes, and secretly called Songtsen Gampo in their hearts. Agree quickly. After all, without the role of human shields, those slaves of the Tang Dynasty are just wasting food. It is useless to keep it. People have to be sent to monitor them, fearing that their sudden uprising will give the Tang army an opportunity. They had already agreed, but Songtsen Gampo's words made them excited: "Yes, this Zampo can agree to exchange all the prisoners of the Tang Dynasty to perfect your reputation. After all, you They are here in the name of rescue, and they can also promise you that they will return to the Tang Dynasty safely and that the Tibetan army will not attack again. However, the premise is that Ben Zampu meets a small condition. " "What conditions? "Lu Yuqing asked in a deep voice. Songtsen Gampo picked up the wine glass in front of the desk and drank it all in one gulp. Then he said lightly: "It's very simple. Datang is willing to pay for their food and clothing in Tubo these years. " What? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ?? ? You can¡¯t be so shameless. Not only Chisang Yangdun and Qiongbo Bangse had surprised expressions on their faces, but Lu Yuqing, the Minister of Rites who had always been calm, also had an angry look in his eyes. "I wonder how much this fee will cost?" Lu Yuqing suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly. Hou Junji¡¯s task for Lu Yuqing was to achieve this exchange no matter what. Although he didn¡¯t understand what Hou Junji had in mind, Lu Yuqing had been holding back secretly. Otherwise, he would have walked away long ago. ¡°It¡¯s very simple,¡± Songtsen Gampo said calmly: ¡°Just use five hundred fire guns to pay off the debt.¡±
