Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 981
After Yingcheng Linbu listened to Cao Wei, his face looked a little better, but then he remembered an important matter, and said: "We can let the people of the 17 Xiangfu Kingdom fend for themselves, and starve to death. I'm starving to death, but the food and grass can only be enough for our 7000-strong army for three months at most. What will happen then?"

Cao Wei and Huangfu looked at each other, and the former said: "To tell you the truth, Lord Yingcheng Linbuchi, at this time of year, unless Lord Yingcheng Linbuchi can defeat the two armies of Suzaku and Qinglong outside the city, no matter whether it is our Great Song Dynasty, Or Daliao, it is impossible to send troops to attack Xiangfu country."

Ying Cheng Lin Bu chirped at Cao Wei and Huang Fu with a sneer, but he didn't say much, but closed his eyes slightly, and began to meditate with a gloomy face.I don't know how long it took, Ying Cheng and Lin Buchi suddenly opened his eyes, eyes full of murderous intent, glanced at Cao Wei and Huangfu Tong, Cao Wei's heart skipped a beat, his face remained unchanged, but Huang Fu Tong's expression changed Change.

Ying Chenglin Bu scolded for a moment of hesitation, and finally fixed his eyes on Huangfu Tong, and said, "Mr. Huangfu, please go to the camp of Xiangfu Kingdom outside the city with my envoys!"

Huangfu stood up abruptly, his face became extremely ugly, looked at Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi, and said rather sternly: "Master Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi, you you...you can't do this, I, Mr. Zhao of the Song Dynasty Won't………"

Yingcheng Linbu snorted coldly, interrupted Huangfutong, and said, "General Cao is Cao Bin's son. If you were Zhao Pu's son, I would naturally not do anything to you. It's a pity that you are just one of Zhao Pu's many disciples." , and if you weren't behind this, how could I bring a large army to attack Lanzhou in the first place, and how could I have fallen to this point now. I will not kill you, but hand you over to the people of Xiangfu Kingdom, which is perfect gone."

Huangfu Tong's face was miserable, and he sat down on his buttocks. Although Cao Wei and Huangfu Tong worked hard for the same task these days, they didn't have any friendship. Counselors are disgusting.Naturally, he would not ask for help at this time, not to mention that Cao Wei knew very well that even if he pleaded, it would be useless, and even though he temporarily saved his life because of his status, he knew very well that when Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi really reached the final moment of life and death However, Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi would not hesitate to hand himself over to the people of Xiangfu Kingdom as a bargaining chip for some negotiations.

In the early morning of August 24th, just outside the northern city of Lanzhou led by the Suzaku Legion, Chang Po Dao saw two Tubo men in white shirts without any weapons on their bodies. Often outside the Podao camp, he shouted to the inside, claiming that he was the emissary of Yingcheng Linbu, and asked to meet Deng Chongxuan!
While Chang Podao stopped his subordinates who were going to shoot arrows down the city, he quickly sent someone to ask Deng Chongxuan for instructions, and after getting permission, he sent someone to escort the two people into the camp.

Being brought in front of his subordinates, Chang Podao saw that one of them was a middle-aged Han Chinese scholar, and the other was a Tibetan with a calm expression. The hands of this middle-aged scholar were tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope In the hands of the Tubo people.

"I'm here for more than [-] noble people in the city!" The envoy declared so in fluent Northwestern Chinese when he came before Chang Podao.

Chang Podao gave the two of them a cold look, did not answer, but followed Deng Chongxuan's order, he personally escorted this strange combination of Tubo envoys to the Deng Chongxuan camp of the Chinese Army.

Chang Podao knew that Deng Chongxuan would send someone to invite Zhang Dawei, the head of the Qinglong Army, and this process would take some time, so he deliberately walked slowly.

After doing this for a long time, he finally sent the Tubo envoys to the Chinese army camp. When he arrived, he could see from a distance outside the Chinese army camp, groups of strong-backed soldiers, holding swords and holding spears. Chen Bingjia, with a murderous air, knew that Deng Chongxuan must have made preparations, so he walked into Deng Chongxuan's tent with two Tubo envoys.

Walking into the vicinity of the big tent of the Suzaku army, the murderous spirit became heavier, the soldiers at the gate of the tent were all fierce and menacing, as if they were going to swallow the Tubo envoy alive immediately.Chang Podao squinted at the Tubo envoy quietly, and saw that the Tubo man was silent and indifferent, but the Han scholar's face was pale.Eyeballs rolled around, obviously thinking about ways to get out.

Chang Podao didn't know Huangfutong, so he couldn't help guessing the relationship between the two.At this time, Wang Chao was already wearing armor and holding a sword, standing at the door of the big tent, watching Chang Po Dao bring the two of them over, his gaze passed over the Tubo envoy, and fixed on Huangfu Tong, his face instantly became murderous, and he said, "You are Huangfutong, you deserve to die."

The Tubo envoy remained expressionless, while Huangfu Tong's face was ashen. He no longer wanted to survive, but only wanted to die happily.

The Tubo envoy paused in front of the commander-in-chief, waved his sleeves, led Huangfu and strode into the hall.

Chang Podao followed behind Wang Chao calmly, entered Deng Chongxuan's tent, and saw Deng Chongxuan, the leader of his own army, and Zhang Dawei, the leader of the Azure Dragon Army who had just arrived from the south of the city, were sitting on both sides of the seat. The one in the middle is a middle-aged man in his 30s.Judging from the expressions of Deng Chongxuan and Zhang Dawei, it is not 01:30 in front of this person with their honorable status as the commanders of the two army.You know, as the head of the legion, he is a real high-level and powerful person in Xiangfu country.There will not be more than ten people in Xiangfu Country who can surpass the commander of the first army in status.And among these ten people, Deng Chongxuan and Zhang Dawei could sit with them carefully, no more than four people.

Chang Podao was suspicious in his heart, but after a closer look, he suddenly realized: "So this is the person who came." With this person's special status in the court of Xiangfu Kingdom, especially the close cooperation with the military, In other words, the military's dependence on it in terms of intelligence, the expressions and behaviors of the two legion commanders couldn't be more normal.

Chang Podao once took a look at this great man in Xia Jing from a distance, but he didn't expect that this one would quietly come to the camp of the Suzaku Legion outside Lanzhou City.And from the slight frown of this person, it can be seen that he seems to be in a bad mood.

That's right, this big man is the real close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, the great hero who founded the country, the head of the security department of Xiangfu Kingdom, a second-rank official, and Hu Sanguang, Marquis of Ping'an.

Hu Sanguang was ordered by Ye Chen to rescue Shui'er together with Bai Canghai, leading a large number of elite spies from the Ministry of Security to track Bai Canghai, Cui Xi, and Lou Yanming to the outside of Lanzhou City, where they disappeared.So the mood is actually very bad these days. He came to the Zhuque Army camp because he suspected that Cui Xi was wandering around Lanzhou City with Shui'er, and wanted to urge or help Deng Chongxuan and Zhang Dawei conquer Lanzhou as soon as possible so that he could find Cui Xi Hee and Shui'er's clues.

After Wang Chao came in, he sat under Deng Chongxuan, while Chang Podao could only stand in the corner due to his status.

Hu Sanguang, Deng Chongxuan, and Zhang Dawei all looked at the Tubo envoy and Huangfutong coldly, but no one stood up to greet them.

Seeing this situation, the Tubo envoy was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything, and said: "I have been ordered by Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi to talk to you adults..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Sanguang suddenly said again: "Come here, chop up this Tibetan dog and throw it under the city of Lanzhou!"

"Follow the order!" A few men in black robes stepped out of the corner and responded loudly. They couldn't help but grab the Tubo envoy and dragged him out. After a while, they heard screams from outside the tent.

Chang Podao stared at Hu Sanguang dumbfounded, Deng Chongxuan and Zhang Dawei looked at each other, the former couldn't help clasping his fists, and asked: "Master Hu, why is this? At least you must first know the purpose of Tubo's mission?"

Zhang Dawei on the side also had a look of surprise and uncertainty, and echoed: "Master Hu, it's fine if you pretend to be a snake, and delay your troops for a few days..."

However, Hu Sanguang waved his hand to signal the two of them to be safe and calm, and said to Huangfutong, who was ashamed, but secretly thinking about Hu Sanguang's identity: "My official, Hu Sanguang, you must have heard of it, right?"

Huangfutong shuddered when he heard that, how could he not know about Hu Sanguang's great reputation, but because of the nature of his profession, Hu Sanguang seldom showed his face in front of people, so when Hu Sanguang was in Huaxia Weifu in Song Dynasty, Huangfutong also I have never seen it.

Huangfutong knew very well that if it fell into the hands of Deng Chongxuan and Zhang Dawei, at most he would die, but now that it fell into the hands of Hu Sanguang, it might not be so easy to think about dying. Of course, living is definitely not as good as dead.

"Huangfutong, tell me! Tell us all about the situation in Lanzhou City, and tell us the intention of Yingcheng Linbu. If there is a false statement, the Ministry of Security has plenty of means to make you unable to survive or die. But you If you behave well, maybe you still have a chance." Hu Sanguang stared at Huangfutong with lightning eyes, and said calmly.

Huangfutong was hesitant to commit suicide with the dagger hidden in his bosom, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help shaking, like a drowned person seeing a straw, knowing that the straw is not enough to keep him alive, but still fighting Desperately trying to grasp at that straw.

In the following conversation, everything was according to what Hu Sanguang thought. During Hu Sanguang's personal questioning and answering, Huangfutong not only told all the situation in Lanzhou City, such as food and grass, military strength, defense, and the number of people, but also told Ying Cheng Linbu wanted to drive the people in the city to the top of the city to guard the city, and exchanged more than [-] people as hostages. He also fully stated his intention of fleeing Lanzhou and returning to Hehuang.

After Hu Sanguang frowned, Zhang Dawei, Deng Chongxuan, Wang Chao, and Chang Podao looked gloomy. Yingcheng Linbu accused them of taking more than 16 people as hostages.Instead of besieging and attacking, when the grain and grass in Lanzhou City are exhausted, the Tubo people may starve to death, but before that, the 2 people must have starved to death or were killed by the Tubo people first, or even treated as military rations by more than [-] Tubo people. It is not impossible for the army to eat it.
