At the beginning, we didn't believe that they would surrender so easily. Now we just made a simple test, and this is the result.
Fortunately, we did not listen to that idiot prince. If we had listened to him, we might have fallen into a trap now. In a place like this, once you fall into a trap, it is not easy to climb out, after all, you are on someone else's territory.
"That's no problem. If His Majesty likes it, I'll arrange it right away. I wonder when His Majesty will be there?"
There was a pause of several breaths, and the Prime Minister's face was full of expression. Would agreeing now be the same as agreeing immediately? And judging by the speed of his eyes, I wonder what he's thinking. Before, he just wanted to try it out. If you let our prince pass now, I don't know what you're thinking.
"The prince was just saying it casually. How can we know when it will be? We are all subjects. The prince is our resident prince. He makes all the decisions. How can we dictate to him? It won't be too late to inform you after we find out."
Since we already know the truth, there is no need to waste time here.
Chang Sun Ze and Huo Qubing chatted about some other things, and then they went out one after the other. When they left the yard, there was a tail following them. They did not immediately mount their horses and gallop away, but instead commented on the flower beds in the yard.
If you want to plot against us, we will be prepared to follow your plan.
Chang Chunze's mentality has basically been understood. These Vietnamese people know that they can't hold on, so they want to take the initiative and lure our army into their territory first. Then, we don't know what kind of trap is inside, so we have to investigate this matter first.
At the same time, we have to find a way to urge the navy warships to hurry up. When our army enters the Vietnamese territory, the support of the navy warships can be said to be crucial. If the navy warships can come earlier, even if we are surrounded by them, there is nothing to be afraid of. The artillery on the navy warships is the most powerful. What kind of encirclement can't be broken?
"These Vietnamese are truly daring. Aren't they afraid of being massacred after we capture the city?"
Even though Huo Qubing was just a warrior, he saw the situation clearly. He wanted to drag all these guys out and kill them, but he knew that Zhang Chunze must have a backup plan, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged him around in the yard and talked for a long time. He did this just to paralyze the enemy.
"We rarely massacred people in the city. They must have found out everything. I guess these people are desperate. They lured us in, inflicted heavy losses on us, and then came out to negotiate terms with us. Their idea is very good. They can negotiate terms with us as the victors, so that more people can be saved."
Chang Sunze sneered. "You guys are too young to play tricks on us. How much history can a country like yours have? We Han people have survived for several dynasties. No matter what tricks you try, we can basically find the same thing in history."
After these two people left the posthouse, the Vietnamese delegation was also terrified, especially when they proposed to go to Nanshan Pass. These people were so scared that they couldn't speak. It was only because the Prime Minister handled it appropriately. If it were someone else, they would have been exposed long ago.
"You didn't notice anything just now, did you?"
After listening to the report from his subordinates, the prime minister broke out in a sweat. When the two men went out just now, he asked someone to follow them. If the two men had rushed away immediately and sent people to surround the clinic, then he would have been exposed. However, his subordinates said that the two men walked around outside and seemed to be in no hurry to leave.
But even so, the prime minister felt a little scared. After all, these people were guilty and were walking on a tightrope.
But the people in Vietnam have also discussed it. If they don't do this, they may not have any chance at all, so they must lure the enemy deep into their territory. After much thought, they finally came up with a solution, which is to let their land forces enter Vietnam first before the Tang Dynasty fleet arrives. Then we will set up ambushes everywhere to reduce their army little by little. By the time they reach the capital of Vietnam, it is estimated that half of their troops will be gone.
Although the navy warships will cause certain damage to their coastal cities, when the Tang Dynasty’s land forces are gone, can they occupy their entire territory relying solely on the navy warships?
"Prime Minister, you've been worrying too much. I just saw that the two gentlemen didn't show any tension on their faces. They looked the same as when they came. They probably thought we were truly surrendering. After all, the gap in strength between our two countries is huge. They only have a small army in the south, and we are already worried."
The subordinates shook their heads, which made the Prime Minister feel a little relieved. If they had come and were discovered in the next few days, then the mission would definitely fail. They, Vietnam, were betting their national destiny on it.
"Hurry up and contact Nanshan Pass and have them withdraw their troops elsewhere. Although we can't guarantee that the prince will go, if he really does go, they will definitely not trust us when they see so many troops surrounding Nanshan Pass. Our target is not their prince, but their troops on the northern border."
The Prime Minister's purpose was very clear, which was to kill the army, not to kill any individual in it, especially an unimportant prince.
Even if you kill this prince, it cannot change the current facts. Perhaps the Tang Dynasty court will use this to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely. What originally took half a month to conquer may be conquered in just a few days.
If we want to change the current situation in Vietnam, we must eliminate most of the troops near the northern border. Only by killing these troops can we gain temporary security. Although the Tang army will retaliate later, we have also let the Tang see our combat effectiveness, and negotiations will be easier...
