If it was just a quarrel between the two of them, Qin Huaiyu would not intervene. After all, now that the fight has gotten to this point, the anger between them has reached its peak. Shouldn't he give them a place to vent their anger?
Anyway, at the end of the quarrel, at most you will just have dry mouths and tongues, and it won’t cause any substantial harm. But if surgery is involved, that’s another matter.
Li Xiang’s strategy: He knew that Nanzhao would definitely become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but some people here had to be retained, such as the cowardly king in front of him. Isn’t he our best puppet?
Originally, Li Xiang was a little hesitant between the two brothers and didn't know who to let be his agent, but after this turmoil, Li Xiang decided to choose the original king.
If nothing else, it's because this guy has no courage, the Prince of Zhennan dared to raise an army! Sometimes it may be impossible to control.
So Li Xiang still chose this king. Qin Huaiyu naturally could not let anything happen to the king in front of him. Once he was injured or killed, Li Xiang's strategy would undergo major changes. If there were major changes at this time, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Tang Dynasty.
"Please be patient, both of you. I asked you to come here to negotiate, not to kill each other. If you are not happy with this, then our Tang army can watch from the sidelines while you continue fighting. We will clean up the mess after you finish."
Qin Huaiyu knocked on the table with his knife, and the people below immediately fell silent, especially the king.
If the Tang army had withdrawn from the city as Qin Huaiyu said, and let you guys continue to kill here, then the king would have no chance of winning. The reason he is still alive now is because of the intervention of the Tang army, otherwise he would have died countless times.
Of course, it would not be of any benefit to the Prince of Zhennan. If he killed everyone in the city, all he would get in the end would be a wasteland. Moreover, once he killed his brother, he would definitely suffer a lot of losses.
This is the last military force of the entire Nanzhao. If they suffer heavy losses, do you think the Tang army next to them will really just watch the fun? They can easily take over Nanzhao, and of course they can do it now.
"Our General Qin is right. Peace is the most important thing in all things. You two are brothers. Why make things so tense? Let's leave all the weapons outside the tent. If the situation gets out of control later, we can still ensure our own safety. What do you think? If we continue to fight like this, the Tang Dynasty will no longer be the middleman."
When a tough person comes out, a soft person will naturally appear. After Qin Huaiyu said these words, Qian Ping had to come out to smooth things over. There were so many armed people in the room. If one of them couldn't control himself, it might lead to a bloody incident.
Qian Ping didn't care about the lives of these people, and he could guarantee that they wouldn't attack the Tang people, but if they killed each other, how would we proceed? If the entire Nanzhao fell into chaos, we would be taking over a mess.
According to Li Xiang, we can let Nanzhao fall into chaos, and even lose some people, but we cannot let the chaos continue. This will still be a base for our Nanping in the future. If the base is in chaos, how can our army continue to advance southward?
"Obey the Tang Angel..."
The King of Nanzhao was the first to express his position, and then asked his men who were holding knives to go out and put down their knives. He also hoped to win some favor. Looking at his ugly appearance, the King of Zhennan was disgusted again. He really should let that dead father stand out and see what kind of heir he had chosen.
If you put down your sword when people tell you to near your own capital, do you still have any dignity as a king?
"Your Majesty?"
The king's men have already laid down their weapons, and the only one left is the Prince of Zhennan. If you still let your men wield sharp weapons, then our negotiations will not be able to continue.
Seeing Qian Ping stretching his head over, Prince Zhennan also waved his hand. He had suffered at the hands of Qian Ping and knew that this eunuch would hold a grudge. If he didn't give him face now, he didn't know where he would be held accountable in the future.
What's more, he cannot bear the crime of disrupting the peace talks. On the surface, he is in control of the situation, but in fact, it is the Tang Dynasty army that is in control of the situation. His army cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty army, so he has to listen to what he should listen to. He is not much tougher than his brother.
"That's good. Without the threat of these weapons, we can speak freely. Our Crown Prince asked us to come here because he hopes you two can lay down your weapons and let the people live a good life instead of continuing the confrontation."
After Qin Huaiyu finished his polite words, he buried himself in his seat and said, "I don't care about the rest of the things. I'm just a warrior. It's time for Qian Ping to take the stage."
"General Qin is right. I have neglected management over the years. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, General."
The King of Nanzhao sighed. He had not missed a single opportunity over the years, but unfortunately, due to the support of his mother and uncles, his younger brother became more and more powerful, to the point where even he could not make the decision. So at this moment, what he hated most was his mother's family.
"General Qin, do you think he is still qualified to be the king of a country?"
The Prince of Zhennan did not have the time to sigh. What he wanted now was the attitude of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty did not support this person, the Prince of Zhennan was willing to pay any price and agree to all the conditions of the Tang Dynasty to let the Tang Dynasty support him to ascend the throne.
"This prince is not qualified, do you think you are qualified?"
The King of Nanzhao became angry when he heard this. Qian Ping and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other. They also knew that such negotiations would not have a good result. Otherwise, they should discuss it privately. If they continued to talk here, there would probably be no result except listening to the two brothers scolding each other.
Both sides immediately started cursing at each other. Since they had no weapons, Qin Huaiyu had nothing to worry about. If you are willing to use your fists, then go ahead. The higher your hatred, the more opportunities we can take advantage of.
Qian Ping was also fanning the flames, saying, "Brothers, don't just talk without fighting. It's best if you can't reconcile after a fight..."
