The Turks, under the command of Musi, launched an attack on Ming Weishu for a whole night, and the shouts of killing continued throughout the night, which could be heard clearly in the depths of the small city.
At dawn, the Turks retreated, and the two sides rested briefly.
Smoke rises again, and many people can no longer enjoy today's breakfast.
Some places at the head of the city were broken, and the battlements of several dish walls were almost flattened by stones, and the soldiers were pouring water on it over and over again, pouring a layer of water, and spreading a layer of grass, and soon a thick wall of ice would be built, and unless it was a large stone weighing hundreds of pounds, it would not be able to destroy it.
The men of Musi's headquarters retreated like a tide of wounded soldiers, and the tribe that was about to replace him was enjoying breakfast, when the soldiers and horses on guard in the front of the Turkic army suddenly saw Mingwei Shucheng head with a rattan basket tied with ropes and put down a few people.
The Turkic soldiers immediately reported the news, and soon a military attache who served as Helan came out.
At the same time, the same scene was also staged in Wu'anshu.
There were seven men who went down to the city, including standard-bearers, trumpeters, messengers, interpreters, and guards.
The white flag is not a surrender in the laws of war, but only a temporary truce.
The standard-bearer walked in front waving a white flag, followed by a few people behind, and Helan on the opposite side led a dozen saber warriors to meet him.
The man who was obviously the messenger was wearing a round-necked robe, a turban, a beard, and a smile like a businessman, and when he saw Helan approaching, he immediately stopped and saluted him.
A thin interpreter with a mustache said: "I will send an envoy to come here, and I have important matters to discuss with Moon Daye Hu and Musi Daye Hu, and please introduce them on my behalf."
That Helan official was wearing half-body leather armor, a big knife on his waist and hips, his face was black and red, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a strong aura.
He glanced coldly at the sleek businessman-looking messenger, and then at the thin interpreter, pursed his lips contemptuously, and said, "Follow me."
Helan took them into the camp, and when they were about to arrive at the camp tent of the Chinese army, the soldiers lined up on both sides of the Chinese army suddenly drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time, and there was a series of piercing sounds, and the long knives formed a knife formation.
The reunited, businessman-dressed messenger waved his hand at them with a smile and calmly walked into the sword formation.
When the Helan official looked back and saw his calm appearance, he secretly admired him, looking at his sleek appearance, he didn't expect that he was really a little bold.
In the big tent, Mu Si was also there, he had just returned from the siege he had commanded all night, and he wanted to explain to Moon and go to rest, but he happened to hear that the Tang people sent an envoy, so he also stayed.
"Tang messenger, sign up to sing" Na Helan entered the tent to report, and after a while, he came out, stood beside the tent, and shouted loudly, his eyes wide, very proud.
The Tang envoy dusted off his robe and said in a loud voice: "In Xiajingbian, Feng Mingwei Zhonglang sent General Ye to see Moon Daya Ye Hu and Mu Si Special Service."
So saying, he strode into the tent, and was accompanied only by the thin interpreter, and the rest of the men were left outside the tent, and all their weapons were disarmed, except for the flags and trumpets.
For it was morning, and the chiefs of the tribes had just gotten up at their headquarters, and had not reported to Moon, and at this moment there were only Moon and Mus's son-in-law, and some of the guards.
Mu Si is tall and peachy, wearing a fat wolf skin robe with a high neck and long sleeves with raw edges, which sets him off a bit of fierce taste.
And Moon, though he was an old man in his fifties, looked extremely burly and fierce when he stood there, with a gun as straight as a gun, riding boots and a belt tightly fastened.
"Ye Yunbao sent you to say something to me" Moon was in Turkic language, and the thin interpreter repeated Jing Shun in Chinese, Jing Yan saluted him with a smile and said, "This is Moon Dayehu, hahaha, Xiao Ke is a businessman in Longyou, not a person in the official palace."
This time, the Turks invaded the border, the two countries met each other, and the fight was inextricable, and we, the merchants of the Western Regions, were very uneasy, so we persuaded General Ye Zhonglang that we would send someone to ask to see Daye Hu, and we would discuss it with both sides. ” Moon listened to the thin translation, frowned, and said, "You are not from the government, so what are you going to talk about?"
Jing Yan said with a smile: "You are all heroes on the grassland, living in felt bags, drinking mare's milk, living in water and grass, bending bows and shooting eagles under the blue sky and white clouds, shepherding sheep and singing, how happy."
The land of Longyou is really not a habitable place for you, so why should the two sides meet each other with swords and kill and injure many lives As long as you agree to withdraw from the army, we businessmen are willing to pay some wealth and silk women to make up for the loss of your troops, and everyone is in harmony, wouldn't it be good."
Moon listened to the interpreter's reply, and said angrily: "You are presumptuous, you are playing the old man, I can't wave 100,000 troops, in order to attack the city and plunder the land, and the king wants to dominate the industry, he is just a bright and powerful general, and he actually sent a small businessman like you to buy us with a little property, so he asked us to withdraw the army, it is just child's play."
Jing Yan hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, you really misunderstood."
I think that Ye Zhonglang will be just a guard general of Mingwei's side, how dare he negotiate peace with you on behalf of the court, and even cut the land and beg to surrender, according to Ye Zhonglang's meaning, he originally swore to live and die with the city."
Moon sneered: "Isn't this a threat, since he has this intention, let's compete."
Jing Yan hurriedly said: "Daye Hu, there are indeed not many defenders of Mingwei, but now 20,000 soldiers and horses have been transferred from Liangzhou, and they are defending against danger, so it is not easy for you to capture it, not to mention, the Liangzhou garrison is not only recruiting troops in the rear, but the imperial court has already sent reinforcements, and the wind and dust servants are on the way."
The two armies exchanged troops, killing you to the death, what is the picture is not the interest Hehe, it may be too direct to speak in the next, but in the next is a businessman, the businessman is profitable, and there is only profit in his eyes, although this is a war between the two countries, but in the final analysis, it is just a conflict of interests, and we businessmen are no different. ” Jing Yan gushed endlessly, and the interpreter translated sentence by sentence, Mu Si listened to it, and felt a little moved.
To tell the truth, the pasture in the land of Longyou in Hexi is far less abundant than that of the Turkic steppe, and the direct purpose of their attack on Longyou in Hexi is to seek wealth, and the long-term goal is to use this as a pedal to covet the world of flowers in the Central Plains.
And now that Gu Lulu is seriously ill, it is impossible for them to directly take the Central Plains at this time, and with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to do this, so the strategic purpose of coming out this time is to win and plunder money.
In the Longyou region, they had attacked before, and in the end they did not stand up.
In fact, the main purpose of these steppe tribes to wage wars is to seek wealth most of the time, and unless the Central Plains is weakened and there is a possibility of occupation, they are not determined to launch a war for the purpose of occupation.
Thinking of this, Muth coughed and gave Moon a look.
Seeing his demeanor, Moon softened his tone and asked Jing Yan, "How much compensation can you pay to make up for the loss of Benye Hu's troops?"
Jing Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said a number, the left and right are just how much gold, silver, iron, silk, porcelain, cattle, sheep and cloth, if this number is used in a family, a surname or even a tribe, it is extremely amazing, but the Turkic army of 100,000, everyone is not much.
Moon was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "How can you be perfunctory, do you have no sincerity at all, such a little property, you want to protect this leaf and retreat."
Jing Yan's face was full of bitterness, and said: "Daye Hu, so much money, but many merchants in our Western Regions have made it together, if Daye Hu agrees, then he will return with a full load, if he doesn't agree, this Ming Weishu may not be able to take it down, if it can't be attacked, won't it be even more useless at that time."
Hehe, I heard that the Gulu Khan is seriously ill, and at this time, I am afraid that your country has no intention of fighting for a long time, if you blindly continue to fight, it will not benefit both sides at all.
Instead of fighting and losing both, why don't you take a step back and accept it when you see it, and stop here, I don't know if Musi Special Service can do it, Da Yehu might as well discuss it with Musi Special Service."

"I am Musi" Mu Si took a step forward, and as soon as the ghost-like hoarse voice came out, Jing Yan and the interpreter were startled, Mu Si saw it in his eyes, and felt a kind of bitterness and irritability in his heart, but he had to endure the voice that even he couldn't stand to continue to express his opinion: "If you want us to withdraw the army, you can but you must show enough sincerity to come up with the amount you just said, if you pay four times, we will withdraw immediately, otherwise, on the day the city is broken, the army will enter, and you will have nothing."
When Jing Yan heard this, he immediately vomited bitterness again, Mu Si sneered and interrupted him: "Forget it, you businessmen, you are the most cunning, whether you want to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, or lose both people and money, you think about it yourself."
After some negotiations, to no avail, Jing Yan had to smile bitterly: "It's not a secret, we originally estimated that we had twice as much money as this."
Now, with such a large amount, I really can't be the master alone, so I ask the big leaf protector and the special service to give me a few days, and let me go back and discuss it with you again."
Moon sneered: "You can go back and discuss, but the city will continue to attack, if you haven't discussed a result and we will enter the city, then you don't need to discuss" As soon as these words came out, Moon and Musi laughed at the same time, one voice high-pitched, the other low-pitched, blending together, as if grinding a copper cymbal with a handful of gravel, how ugly it sounded.
Jing Yan led his own people away in a gloomy manner.
When Mingwei saw that his envoy had arrived at the city, he hurriedly put down the hanging basket, there were only two hanging baskets, and several people had to go up separately.
Jing Yan stepped into the hanging basket with one foot, turned his head and said to the interpreter who entered the other hanging basket: "Mu Si is really able to speak, you can understand his voice clearly."
The interpreter smiled at him, it was clearly a thin man with a dark face, but it revealed a bit of the naughty and charming charm of his daughter's family: "It's clear, the dress, the tone of the voice, it's all clear."
His voice was exactly the same as Mu Si, the rope at the head of the city was dragging, and it happened to drop a puff of snow foam, which hit Jing Yan's neck, and then heard this ghostly and ghostly crying sound, Jing Yan couldn't help but shiver.
