Eagle Byzantium

After a while, Tong Guan walked out of the curtain and stood in front of the calm people. Then he shouted loudly to the brothers Zhao Liangsi and Ma Renfan, "Are you willing to accept the crime of exterminating the family?"

Zhao Liangsi immediately had a flash of inspiration in his head, and knocked it on the stone slab with a loud thud. Blood flowed out, then he lifted it up and cried out to Tong Guan, "Liangsi knows his crime, but killing me now, Zhao Liangsi, is nothing but an insult to the King of Justice and Tong Guan." It’s better to let someone’s body waiting to die be the prime minister’s blade. I, Emperor Song, will try my best again, and I am willing to go to the camp of the barbarians again. If I can sign a peace treaty that allows King Ping Ping to retreat, I will leave it to you to kill or cut him. If it is a disgrace to the mission, there is no need to do so. After the princes posted the message, Liang Si immediately committed suicide in the barbarian camp."

At this time, Lu Yihao and others stood up angrily and hurriedly asked the King of Justice not to let Zhao Liangsi go to the Fulan camp.

But Tong Guan rolled up his sleeves and asked everyone, "Apart from peace negotiations, is there any better way? King Ping Gong just told a certain person that he had climbed up to the fortress building while ill and had seen the tragic scene of the bloody battle of our soldiers. , immediately Tears fell like rain. I felt deeply ashamed that I had failed all the officials and soldiers during the Western Expedition. Now if we continue to fight, even if the soldiers could not leave because of their passion and loyalty, King Pingyi really couldn't bear to see everyone killing their lives in vain. Throwing corpses into the wilderness.”

As he spoke, Tong Guan couldn't help but choked up, and all the generals and officials present shed tears and burst into tears.

Then Tong Guan raised his face and wiped the tears with his sleeves a few times, "That's all. Don't imitate the weeping attitude of the prisoners in Xinting. Although the Congma Zhi team has been reading continuously, there have been many wars along the way. It is inevitable for the rest of the army to assume the responsibility of guarding and guarding the king of justice. It is inevitable that he is unfamiliar with the actual battle formation. Now that the situation is urgent, there is no need for you to delve into this matter. , each stay one step."

Tong Guan's words were tantamount to giving the final verdict on this matter.

These words actually represent the attitude of King Da Ping. In addition, Tong Guangui is the military commander of the Sixth Army of the Western Expedition. Although many people have criticized his behavior, once the moment comes to weigh and make a decision, he still says the same thing. Yes, because no one can replace his role as the backbone of this army.

After saying this, Lu Yihao and others stopped talking. Tong Guan walked down the steps and personally untied the ropes between Zhao Liangsi and Ma Renfan. He hated that iron cannot become steel, "Zhao Liangsi, you must do what you say; Ma Renfan, Mabao If there is a crisis in the village, you have to risk your life to protect the safety of King Pingyi and the princes. Remember, from now on, your lives are in my hands. I, Tong Guan, will only decide after the dust settles. I won’t pay it back to you.”

Zhao Liangsi immediately raised his face, looked at En Xiang, then kowtowed three times to the curtain in front of King Ping Ping, and shouted, "Bring me your court clothes, the envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven will leave the camp now!"

"You're actually alive." Three hours later, when Zhao Liangsi appeared in Gawain's imperial camp, Gawain, who had gotten up from his sleep to meet him, looked at Zhao Liangsi with bloodstains still on his face and asked half-jokingly.

But this time Zhao Liangsi did not have too much servility. He asked Emperor Varyag simply and neatly, "His Royal Highness King Pingping submitted the fourth letter of credence, acknowledging the defeat and willing to surrender to His Majesty Emperor Fu Fu. Please, Your Majesty The army opened the net and allowed King Ping to return to the east of Wuhu River as a sign of sincerity..."

As he spoke, Zhao Liangsi also opened the box beside him. Inside was of course a bloody head with gray hair, a high nose and deep eyes.

"This is the head of the great mighty priest of Nestorianism."

"Why is this necessary?" Gawain frowned.

In the candlelight, the Holy Sister put on a silk robe and a shawl, and hid behind the curtain nervously listening to the conversation between the Emperor and the Song envoy.

"The big fight between the two sides this time was definitely not the intention of the King of Justice. It was almost entirely instigated by the great mighty priest." Zhao Liangsi bowed his head and said quickly, finding a dead ghost to take the blame.

But Gawain was such a shrewd man that he directly asked Zhao Liangsi, "Has King Da Ping converted to Nestorian Christianity?"

"Absolutely not!" Zhao Liangsi flatly denied, "But the Nestorians are everywhere along the passage from the river to Silian (Syria), and they know the internal affairs of the countries of Fulu, Fulang, Persia, and Baoda (Baghdad), so they are fair. The king only uses it as a guide. King Ping Ping himself believes in Buddhism and Taoism. How can he believe in the Taoism of the Haixi barbarians? "

The emperor laughed, since he himself was an infidel at heart anyway, and then Gawain asked, "Now that I have killed the mighty priest to apologize, why did he have so many vulgar and provocative words against me in his credentials?"

"That's because since the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition, he has won many battles. Many opponents often ask him to surrender with a letter of credence, and the powerful priests slander him, saying that most of the people in Fulin Kingdom are timid from top to bottom. The louder you speak, the more you can hold back.”

"It turns out to be intimidation and blackmail like slicing sausages! Although Gui Song's diplomatic skills are very good, they are not worthy of the military backing." Gawain sneered, "But if King Fair's backing comes, will he tear up the peace treaty? ?”

"Absolutely not."

"Do you have any backup?" Gawain suddenly asked.

Zhao Liangsi's face was pale, but he remained tight-lipped and noncommittal.

"If you have no backup, why don't you directly occupy the land in the river for long-term strategy, and you have to cross the river to invade Khorasan and Isfahan!" the emperor continued to ask.

Zhao Liangsi was sweating like rain. He could only kneel down and keep nodding his head, and begged Gao Wen, "The thief who instigated the discord between the two countries has been beheaded. I beg His Majesty Fu Fu to ignore the past grudges. King Ping Ping and his subordinates are willing to move forward and serve as a barrier for His Majesty." The host of peaceful exchanges between the two countries.”

Gawain's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Zhao Liangsi and said, "Even if you don't tell me the answer to this riddle, I'm afraid I know eight-tenths of it. Zhao Liangsi, you'd better surrender to me here in time, so as not to be buried with the Great King Gong. In the future, I will grant you and Guo Yaoshi a piece of land on the east bank of the Oxus River, and serve as a guest army of the Roman Empire. Isn't it beautiful?"

A correct version in 16-9-1 book-1 forum!

But Zhao Liangsi burst into tears and would never accept Gawain's invitation. He just held the letter in his hand and kowtowed violently like raindrops until blood dripped and his crown was completely destroyed.

This tragic scene made even Cabe Amiya behind the curtain feel a little uncomfortable.

But she knew that a person like Gawain, or more precisely, this kind of tyrant who controlled the empire, would not sympathize with the Great King Gong.

But at least Gao Wen still maintained the integrity of a strong man. He told Zhao Liangsi frankly, "Perhaps you who are trapped in the fortress don't know yet, but Yelu Dashi has betrayed you under the city of Amur, killed General Liu Yanqing, and surrendered to me."

Zhao Liangsi stopped bowing now, and his eyes became desperate and cold after hearing this news.

"Amur, Zam, Termez and other riverside fortresses have surrendered, which means that the city of Mofu where the fair king is now is a dead end, and he can't escape." The emperor added this sentence.

At this moment, the guard suddenly opened the curtain and led a person in, "Your Majesty, you must not negotiate peace with the fair king!"
