Liu Heita said in heavy voice, "General Zhi Shili, Li Shimin seems to have killed one man, but actually he is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Today's confrontation with Li Shimin is a confrontation of wills, let's see who can't hold on first. We can't admit defeat first, once we do, this battle will be difficult to fight. "
"No, I don't care!"
Zhi Shili hurriedly shook his head.
If it was Liu Heita's soldiers, he would be happy to see it happen, anyway if they died, then they died.
But this was his military strength.
One dead was one less.
Zhi Shili could not lose too much military strength, otherwise when he returned to the prairie, it would be difficult to report to Xieli.
Zhi Shili's expression was solemn, he said sternly, "Han Wang, immediately agree to Li Shimin's condition. I don't want my soldiers to be killed again. If this kind of thing happens again, my Tujue military strength will withdraw. "
"Not only that, when I return to the prairie, I will report to Khan what you have done."
"When the time comes, Khan will be furious, he will take his army south to Hebei Province, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. Even your Han Wang's military strength will not be able to block Khan's vanguard. Han Wang, please think carefully. "
Zhi Shili directly opened his mouth to threaten.
Liu Heita's expression changed again.
He was threatening Li Shimin, fighting with Li Shimin, he did not expect Zhi Shili to drag him down. Because if Zhi Shili dragged him down and regretted, it would make it difficult for him to continue fighting with Li Shimin.
Liu Heita said again, "General Zhi Shili, you really won't think again. If you let Li Shimin compensate you with a thousand warhorses. Then the warhorses lost by your Armored Cavalry can be recovered a bit. Now it's just exchanging captives, your lost soldiers can't come back, this is not worth it for you. "
Zhi Shili said, "I don't care about anything else, as long as I can get my soldiers back. Han Wang, if Li Shimin continues to contend with you, my men's loss will be big. Therefore, you must agree immediately. "
Liu Heita could not persuade him, he sighed inwardly.
He looked at Zhu Zhou.
He hoped Zhu Zhou could have a different opinion, so much so that he could persuade Zhi Shili, so that Zhi Shili would not stir up the situation.
Zhu Zhou opened his mouth, "General Zhi Shili, more than five thousand men under your command were captured by Li Shimin captivity. If you kill one or two of them, then you kill, it won't affect anything. But if you succeed, you'll have profited. Aren't you going to give it a try? "
"Scoundrel," he said, "Are the lives of our Tujue men so worthless? Zhu Zhou, if not for the fact that you are the Prime Minister of the King of Han, I would have killed you immediately. "
Zhu Zhou sighed when he heard this.
He couldn't persuade him anymore.
Zhu Zhou could only look at Liu Heita and nod his head, indicating that Liu Heita should agree.
Now, he had no other choice.
Seeing this, Liu Heita was helpless because he didn't have a better idea at the moment. So, he said, "Forget it. Since General Zhi Shili is so insistent, I won't say more. I'll bring back all the soldiers under your command. "
Zhi Shili whispered, "That's good."
After a short pause, he lost his train of thought and said, "You should have done this a long time ago. Always confronting Li Shimin, other than wasting time, it will also waste the soldiers' lives."
Liu Heita was irritated as he listened.
She didn't want to listen to the stubborn man's words.
Liu Heita shouted, "Li Shimin, benwang agrees to your condition. Immediately release all the Tujue prisoners. After you release all the Tujue prisoners, benwang will release the detained Tang dynasty soldiers. "
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's done!
He adopted the strategy of using violence to curb violence, directly ignoring Liu Heita's method. Now he finally won.
Li Shimin said, "Liu Heita, I'll release the Tujue prisoners. You too, hand over all the Tang army prisoners. Both sides release the prisoners at the same time, let all the officers and soldiers withdraw. "
Liu Heita said, "Okay!"
After answering, he looked at Zhu Zhou and ordered, "Zhu Zhou, you go arrange to detain one thousand prisoners. We'll release more than ten thousand people. After the exchange is completed, we'll use these one thousand prisoners to threaten Li Shimin. "
Zhu Zhou heard this, his face showed a happy expression. He said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Heita was very happy, he saw Zhu Zhou went down.
Both sides were preparing.
Li Shimin looked at Du Qi on the side and said, "Erlang, Liu Heita agreed to release the prisoners, it should have a considerable relationship with Zhi Shili. If we release the prisoners now, should we release all of them? "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness wants to detain some people, but it's actually not very useful. Because we can now use the prisoners to put pressure on Zhi Shili, because Zhi Shili has too many people in our hands, so Zhi Shili is willing to put pressure on Liu Heita. "
"Once the number of people is small, it'll be very difficult to put pressure again. Moreover, at that time, Liu Heita may not agree to an unequal treaty."
"Now Liu Heita has no loss, so Liu Heita agrees."
"If we really provoke Liu Heita, even if he doesn't agree, so what? Zhi Shili can't do anything to Liu Heita. So there's no need. Since we're exchanging, we'll return all the Tujue cavalry and warhorses to them. "
"Let's simply exchange all of them back."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "But the method Your Highness just mentioned is very likely to happen to Liu Heita. Maybe Liu Heita will detain some of the soldiers. "
"Once we exchange the prisoners, we won't have any prisoners in our hands, and Liu Heita will use the prisoners to threaten us again, which will be very unfavorable to us."
"So when the two sides prepare to exchange the prisoners, Your Highness must first ask our soldiers whether there are still people detained by Liu Heita."
Du Qi said with a smile.
Now that they could exchange the prisoners, everything would be easy.
Li Shimin said, "Erlang is right."
Both sides did not speak, quietly waiting. Not long after, all the Tujue prisoners and Tujue warhorses were brought out by Li Shimin. On the other side, the gate of Quzhou County opened, one by one Tang soldiers came out from the city.
However, all the soldiers of the Tang army were weak and powerless. Because in this period of time, they could not eat anything other than a little porridge to keep their lives.
Each and every one of them was very weak, without any fighting power.
Liu Heita stood on the city gate tower and ordered, "Li Shimin, the drawbridge has been lowered and placed on the moat. The prisoners under my command are about to go out of the city, walk out of the drawbridge and line up outside the city. What we need to do now is to exchange the prisoners. "
"Wait!"
Li Shimin opened his mouth.
Hearing this, Liu Heita showed an impatient look and said, "Li Shimin, what else do you want? You asked both sides to release the prisoners, I have done as you said. But now you look like you don't agree. Could it be that you think this Prince's sword is not sharp enough? "
Li Shimin said, "Liu Heita, this Prince does things openly, I will not go back on what I have said. What this Prince is worried is that you, Liu Heita, are deliberately playing tricks. "
While speaking, Li Shimin looked at all the Tang captives coming out and asked loudly if there were any soldiers detained in the city. As soon as this question was asked, the Tang captives immediately answered that there were indeed soldiers detained.
Previously, Zhu Zhou transferred away one thousand captives, this matter was known to everyone.
All of them knew about it.
Li Shimin asked the soldiers, the captive Tang soldiers immediately answered.
Liu Heita's face darkened.
He exposed himself.
Especially since he had not exchanged the Tujue cavalry, so Liu Heita was very embarrassed.
Li Shimin said coldly, "Liu Heita, what do you want? If you don't want to release the captives, just start a war. This Prince is not afraid of you, Liu Heita. You go back on your words, it's abominable! "
Liu Heita's face was dark.
In front of so many people, he was directly reprimanded, he lost all face.
