Under Zhao Ziliang's arrangement, several soldiers carried a small table and two chairs and placed them a stone's throw away from the city wall.
A huge canopy blocked the sun.
Zhao Ziliang sat on one of the chairs and waited slowly. .
There was a jug of wine and two small porcelain cups on the table.
Zhao Ziliang picked up the jug and filled his own cups with wine, sipping carefully and slowly.
It didn't look like a fight at all.
The translator of Dashi held a white flag and went to the city wall and said loudly to Bingbo Xilin: "The leader of Bingbo Xilin on the city tower, General Zhao, the general of the Tang army, asked me to bring a message to you.
General Zhao said that he has more than 1,600 The captives were all captured when you attacked the Tang Army camp yesterday evening.
If the leader still cherishes their lives and is still a man of faith and responsibility, go out of the city to meet with him alone."
After hearing this, the generals of the Dashi rebels on the city tower tried to dissuade them one after another: "The leader can't go out.
Who knows if the Tang people are tricking you into tricking you out and then killing the leader.
If you leave the city, once the Tang army attacks you, we will There will be no rescue in time.”
The generals were very worried about this, but the rebel soldiers had another idea.
They only knew that the people captured outside the city were ordinary soldiers like them.
They were brothers, and they and the generals There is another level in between.
The generals will not care about their life and death.
If the Tang army killed so many ordinary people before, these rebel soldiers still have nothing to think about.
After all, The common people have nothing to do with them, but the people captured now are not common people, but people like them, all brothers.
If Bingbo Xilin disregards the lives of so many soldiers for a woman, these rebel soldiers will view Bingbo Xilin's vision will definitely be different from before, and Bo Xilin's prestige in their hearts will be greatly weakened, and the soldiers may also have doubts about their beliefs.
Although Boshilin was not very politically sensitive, he understood the thoughts of these ordinary soldiers very well, because he was a Persian slave soldier in the past.
Bingbo Xilin knew that he had to give up Princess Hera.
Although he was very reluctant to part with it and felt it was a pity, he had to give up.
It was not easy to get such a peerless beauty, but he had to give it up before he could enjoy the beauty.
This made him He felt really unwilling to do so, but there was no other way.
He had to do this for the sake of his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers and generals.
Bo Xilin raised his hand to stop the generals from continuing to persuade.
He shook his head and said: "Compared with the more than 1,600 captured soldiers outside the city, a woman is nothing, even if she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
So what?
Using one woman in exchange for more than 1,600 elite soldiers is a good deal, don't you think so?
As for my safety, you don't have to worry at all.
The other party is also a respectable person after all, so it shouldn't be Doing such insidious tricks” Ziad still advised: "Chief, the most difficult thing in the world to predict is the human heart.
The leader has never been in contact with General Tang, so how can he know who he is?
I suggest that the leader send someone else to negotiate with the other party."
Bingbo Xilin thought about it and felt that he could not completely trust Zhao Ziliang.
After all, the two armies were still enemies.
However, Zhao Ziliang asked him to come for an interview.
If he asked someone else to go, he was afraid that Zhao Ziliang would not accept it.
In the end, he decided to take the risk. , and he also believed that Zhao Ziliang would not dare to go against him, because Princess Hera was still in his hands.
If Zhao Ziliang killed him, wouldn't he be afraid that his men would kill Princess Hera?
"There is no need to persuade him.
General Tang does not dare to kill me.
Don't forget that Princess Hera is still in our hands.
If he dares to touch me, you will kill Princess Hera immediately, you know?"
Ziad, Daoud, Said and others all agreed: "Yes, chief" Boshilin picked up his cloak and walked down the city tower.
The generals followed him to the city gate.

When the drawbridge of the city gate was lowered, Boshilin held the handle of his scimitar and strode out of the city, waiting for him to leave.
After crossing the suspension bridge, the soldiers on the city tower quickly turned the winch to pull up the city gate suspension bridge.
Seeing that the city gate was closed, the generals quickly returned to the city tower to watch Bingbo Xilin walking towards Zhao Ziliang.
The position where Zhao Ziliang placed the table was the same as the distance between the city wall and the Tang army's formation.
Therefore, a canopy, a table and two chairs were placed in the open space between the two sides.
Except for Zhao Ziliang sitting on one of the chairs and standing beside him Except for the Dashi translator behind him, there was no Tang Army soldier around, making it seem a little lonely and empty.
"General, he's coming," the Dashi translator reminded.
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he turned around and saw Bingbo Xilin walking in.
He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Chief Bingbo Xilin, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Please take a seat."
The translator translated his words into Dashi words, and Bo Xilin listened, put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed: "I am also very fortunate to see you, the general, please."
The two parties immediately sat down.
Zhao Ziliang shook his head to the Dashi translator.
The Dashi translator immediately walked to the table, picked up the wine bottle and poured Bingbo Xilin a glass of wine.
Zhao Ziliang picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Please."
Bing Bo Xilin did not hesitate, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Ziliang admired this very much.
Although they had a hostile relationship, Bing Bo Xilin was not worried about him poisoning the wine.
From this point on, Zhao Ziliang admired Bing Bo Xilin.
With Lin's courage, it is no wonder that this person's status in the Arab Empire in the history of another time and space is like that of Han Xin in the Han Dynasty.
After Bo Xilin put down his wine glass, he asked: "What is the general going to do with these prisoners?"
Although Bingbo Xilin was very talented in the military, he was not very good in other aspects.
From the question just now, Zhao Ziliang could tell.
He smiled and said: "There is no use for me to keep these prisoners."
Yes, because it is impossible for them to surrender to me, and I have to use a lot of food to prevent them from starving to death.
It is unwise to raise a group of useless prisoners who may backfire at any time.
What do you think I should do with it?
them" Bingbo Xilin looked at Zhao Ziliang and was silent for a moment, then said: "I believe that there should be gods in your hometown, the general.
Prisoners are also human beings.
The general slaughters us and cannibals here.
Aren't you afraid that the gods will punish you?"
Zhao Ziliang was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled: "Don't you think it's ridiculous for the leader to say this?
As far as I know, you are a rebel to Dashi officials, and you are one of the leaders of the rebels.
You seem to You believe in Shia, didn’t you kill anyone during the war?
Didn’t your men kill prisoners?”
"It seems that the general understands the situation on our side very well."
Bo Xilin nodded and said: "In this case, let's each put forward our own conditions.
I want to redeem those captured soldiers.
The general has What conditions?”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said, "You know what I want."
Bingbo Xilin sighed in his heart, knowing that Princess Hera could not be saved no matter what, so he could only return her to Zhao Ziliang, so he said: "Okay, I promised to hand over Princess Hera to the general, but the general was You cannot lose one of the more than 1,600 people you captured."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes.
However, you must also hand over all the people who are accompanying the princess in the dowry as well as the dowry items.
At that time, I will ask someone to count them.
If there is one person or item missing, exchange It will be cancelled.

In addition, your Excellency must prepare food for us for a month.
After the transaction is completed, we will clear up our respective grievances.
I will escort Princess Hera back to the Tang Dynasty.
What you want to do has nothing to do with me."
Bingbo Xilin will have to pay more than 3,000 people for one month's worth of food and grass.
This batch of food and grass is not a large amount for Bingbo Xilin, but if Sehelan City wants to take out this batch of food and grass, then there will not be much food left. , which made him hesitate.
But soon, Bingbo Xilin had a choice.
If the food was gone, he could still go to the official food country to eat.
However, if the deal could not be reached, these prisoners would not come back, and the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. , so he agreed to Zhao Ziliang's request after some weighing, and exchanged Princess Hera, the dowry personnel, and all the dowry items with the soldiers captured by Zhao Ziliang.
At the same time, he also paid an additional three thousand people a month's food and grass to Zhao Ziliang.
The two parties reached an agreement on this.
It was too late for the transaction now.
After discussion, Zhao Ziliang and Bingbo Xilin decided to conduct the exchange tomorrow morning.
They both gave the other party time to prepare, and then they would still conduct the transaction here.
So both sides returned separately.
Zhao Ziliang led his army to Liu Tiao's newly built camp.
After settling the team, he summoned officials and generals to discuss.
"Everyone, I have reached an agreement with Bingbo Xilin.
The exchange will continue at today's location tomorrow morning.
He will hand over Princess Hera, the dowry personnel and the dowry items to us intact, and we will hand over these prisoners to them. , and at the same time, they have to prepare a month's worth of food and grass for more than 3,000 of us.
This is the entire content of this exchange."
The generals and officials were relieved after hearing this, especially Du Chaoyang, an official from the Ministry of Rites, and others.
They were the ones who were least willing to stay here anymore.
It was hot and dry here, and it was very annoying as soon as the sun came out.
The sand can bake people to a crisp.
If Princess Hera hadn't been in the hands of Bingbo Xilin, they would have been unwilling to stay here.
Now they heard that hostages can be exchanged tomorrow.
As long as there are no accidents during the exchange, everyone is happy. .
Du Chaoyang sighed: "We have killed so many big cannibals in the past few days, and Bo Xilin just refused to hand over Princess Hera.
If the general had not deployed properly and captured so many cannibal rebels, I don't know how long the matter would have ended.
When, thank God, will there finally be a solution?”
All the generals nodded in agreement: "Yes, fortunately we captured so many big food rebels
.
