Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1985 Straight to Spring City

Spring City.

In the palace of the Dali Kingdom, a message came in a hurry.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong, something is wrong."

A palace official ran in, his expression a little nervous.

Shi Qiang glanced at him and said, "What happened?"

"Qiucheng...Qiucheng was breached by the Tang army. Wu Qingyi fled and was killed by General Shiliang. Now General Shiliang has fled back with five thousand troops."

After hearing the news, Shi Qiang immediately sat down on the chair. He didn't expect that after Tang Jun got Gu Meng, he would break through Qiucheng so easily?
He could imagine that the appearance of Gu Meng disturbed the hearts of the soldiers of Qiucheng.

Otherwise, based on the strength of the Tang army, how could it be so easy to capture Qiucheng?
As for Wu Qingyi, Shi Qiang was stunned for a moment. Wu Qingyi is not a person who sticks to formalities. If he knows that Qiucheng cannot be kept, he will definitely run away. To him, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that Shi Liang killed him, which was a bit too harsh.

Thinking that Shi Liang was injured because of Wu Qingyi's unauthorized assertion, Shi Qiang knew exactly what was going on.

He knows his brother best.

But now is not the time to worry about this.

"Come here, call the ministers to discuss matters."

The court meeting of Dali Kingdom began, and at the beginning of the court meeting, the news that Qiucheng was breached by the Tang army spread throughout Spring City.

The people here were shocked after learning about this incident, but most of them were secretly happy.

In their hearts, they have always regarded themselves as Datang people. There is no other reason. Datang's policies are good. As people of Datang, they can live a very comfortable life.

What's more, being a Datang person has face.

Their Great Tang swept all directions, and when other foreigners saw their Tang people, who would not be courteous?
It is a very honorable thing to be a citizen of a big country, and they don't want to be a citizen under the rule of the rebel army.

Moreover, their life under the rule of the rebels was not easy.

This Shi Qiang was quite a good person, he did not bully the common people, nor did he choose many beauties into the palace like other emperors who had just become emperor.

But Shi Qiang is a good person, but it doesn't mean that those under him are good.

Here in the capital, among those under his command, who wouldn't give up if they had to bully some people every day?
To be honest, their life is not easy, and it would be great if they could become the people of Datang again.

The people talked a lot, here in the main hall, the court meeting started, Shi Qiang told everyone about the situation, and then looked at the people and asked: "My dear friends, the Tang army captured Qiucheng, I am afraid they will go straight to Chuncheng soon Come, I still have [-] soldiers in Dali, can these [-] soldiers be able to stop the Tang army, if not, what should we do?"

Shi Qiang asked, but at this time the officials above the court were all panicked, they didn't think carefully about what Shi Qiang said, they didn't expect that Qiucheng would be breached like this.

After the fall of Qiucheng, the Tang army is as powerful as a broken bamboo, and they will come here soon. Are they the opponents of the Tang army?

If not, wouldn't they be killed by Tang Jun?
Thinking of this, they were a little scared.

Although they lived a good life after becoming rebels, they were not worried that day, for fear that the Tang army would really come to kill them. Now that the Tang army has really come to kill them, shouldn't they be more worried than before?
However, some people are afraid, but some people can still remain calm, such as Prime Minister Luo Xian.

He stood up and said, "My lord, the current Tang army has about [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. Their number of soldiers and horses has not decreased, but has increased. The prisoners of the city, these people's combat effectiveness is not considered weak, so we should not take it lightly. In addition, the Tang army also has those chieftains who surrendered. These chieftains are likely to assist the Tang army to attack the city. Before the Tang army attacked Qiucheng At that time, didn’t those chieftains wander around our capital with soldiers and horses?”

Prime Minister Luo Xian spoke, but everyone didn't speak.

"It can be said that the situation in our Dali country is very bad, but it doesn't mean that there is no way out. If we can persuade those chieftains to remain neutral and not help the Tang army attack us, then with the Tang army's [-] to [-] troops, think It is not an easy task to capture our Spring City, and even if the time spent with them is saved, we can still fight back against the Tang army. Of course, this needs to wait for an opportunity, but it is a hope after all, isn't it?"

Luo first told everyone an idea, which was similar to Qin Tian's previous method, to cut off the wings.

Those chieftains used to be the wings of Dali, but now they are the wings of the Tang army. If they want to have a chance of winning against the Tang army, they can only start with the chieftains.

But at this time, an official stood up: "The Prime Minister's method is naturally good, but it is not easy to implement it. Those chieftains have been shocked by Qin Tian, ​​and they have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. If It’s not easy for them to remain neutral, is it?”

After this person finished speaking, other people soon stood up and echoed: "Yeah, it's different to want those chieftains to remain neutral. To remain neutral is tantamount to betraying Qin Tian. Then Qin Tian can spare them. , They must have known about this situation."

"Yes, yes, the matter is difficult to handle, and the Prime Minister is just talking for nothing."

"........."

Everyone was not optimistic about it, but Luo Xian smiled slightly: "My lord, since I have said it, there is naturally a way to persuade those chieftains to remain neutral. It seems that the people in the court will not believe this. , how about letting me be an envoy and go to those chieftains' places?"

Luo Xian was very confident, but everyone was taken aback, as if they didn't expect Luo Xian to take risks with the chieftain, he was the prime minister, if a chieftain captured him and handed him over to Tang Jun, it would be a great credit.

But they didn't say anything, if Luo Xian didn't do it, one of them would do it, and they didn't dare to do it.

But Shi Qiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Luo Xian's words. He had always believed in Luo Xian's ability. Since Luo Xian was so sure, there was almost no problem with this matter.

Let Shi Qiang go, it will definitely work.

"Okay, since Aiqing is willing to share my worries, then leave this matter to Aiqing. Aiqing must do it as soon as possible. Tang Jun may kill him soon."

Shi Qiang was very worried, time was running out, Luo Xian nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, after the next court, I will go to do it, and I promise not to delay the work of your Majesty."
