The Tang army showed strong combat power, which was far beyond the reach of the Tianzhu army. There is no future in fighting with the Tang army, and peace talks are just one way...

"Can peace talks work? Didn't you have a peace talk last time?" Some minister hesitated.

As early as when the Tang army gathered on the border of India, Aronna sent Xinli to make some peace talks, but Li Longji refused, which made many ministers very worried.

"I can't beat the Tang army, but I can't fight. If we can't negotiate, what else can we do?"

"Even if the peace talks cannot be successful, the situation will not be worse. You can try it."

Many ministers strongly supported it.

The Tang army has already invaded Zhongtianzhu, and it will not take much time to appear in the city of Rashe. By then, Zhongtianzhu is likely to perish. The situation is already bad enough. Even if the peace talks are not successful, it will not be worse. It is better to try it. If the peace talks are successful, it will be an unexpected surprise. If it cannot be successful, it will be like this and there will be no losses.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." Alona agreed with this statement.

"King, since you want to have a peace talk, you have to send someone of weight to you. The last time you sent Xin Li to you was a mistake. You should send important officials at that time, and maybe it will be successful." A minister immediately gave advice.

Xin Li's official position in Zhongtianzhu is not high, his power is limited, and he cannot take charge of many things. It was a mistake to send him to the last time. Aronna nodded and said, "Who should I send?"

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, and my eyes fall on the prime minister.

"King, sharing the worries for the king and suffering difficulties for the country is the duty of the minister. It's just that the minister occasionally feels cold and feels uncomfortable. It's not suitable to run for a long distance." The prime minister's face changed drastically and he hurriedly made excuses.

Just kidding, going to negotiate with the Tang army is just going to the abyss of unexpected events. It is very likely that there will be no return. The prime minister has no courage to go.

"Sir, it's really unfortunate that you are not feeling well. But now the country is in trouble. Please force yourself to stay sick and run for the country." Who wouldn't understand what he meant? A minister immediately "persuaded" him.

"Not to mention wind and cold, even if you are seriously ill, you have to rush there when the country is in trouble. I want to share my worries for the country, but my official position is too small to share my worries for the country."

"Yes, yes, if my official position is large enough and I can compare with the prime minister, I would rather go."

Many ministers agreed.

"You..." The prime minister wanted to slap them a few times. This is a fatal matter, you guys are just messing around.

Arona stared at the prime minister, his face darkened, and he said, "Assami, when the country is in danger, if you, the prime minister, cannot go to the national crisis, share my worries, what use do I want you?"

This was so heavy that Asami dared not refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Since that's the case, I'm willing to go there. But, what price can we pay?"

Negotiation requires bargaining chips. If the price of Zhongtianzhu is not enough, this peace talks are useless. This matter must be finalized first.

"As long as the Tang army retreats, any price is easy to say, even if it is ceded to the Tang Dynasty." Arona thought for a while and offered the price.

"King, this may not work." Asami hurriedly said: "Northern Heavenly Zhu is already under the iron hooves of the Tang army. Even if we don't cede, we are from the Tang Dynasty. The price is not the same as that."

The Tang army had conquered Northern Tianzhu and was advancing towards Central Tianzhu. Whether to cede or not was a big difference. It can be imagined that if Central Tianzhu used this price to negotiate, it would definitely not be successful.

"That is to cede some of the land of Central India. As long as I can keep the throne and leave hope, I will be able to." Alona's face looked ugly. Although Asami's words were the truth, they were too unpleasant to him.

Fifty years ago, when Wang Xuance swept across India, even Wang Shecheng captured Alushun alive, and Zhongtianzhu was severely injured. If it weren't for Wang Xuance's military strength and the Tang Dynasty could not have occupied India at that time, Zhongtianzhu would have been unable to recover.

Now, more than 200,000 Tang troops swept across India. If they could preserve the throne, it would be a great blessing in disgrace.

"Since that's the case, I'll go there." Asami sighed and said helplessly.

Arona ordered people to prepare a generous gift and hand it over to Asami with him, and repeatedly urged Asami to set off. Asami was extremely reluctant, but had to set off.

"Rumbling." The Tang army advanced rapidly, with the sound of hooves like thunder, splashing large patches of smoke and dust.

Li Longji looked at the Tang army moving forward quickly next to the horse road. He saw that the Tang army was energetic, high morale and fierce fighting spirit.

What can boost morale the most is not good clever words or empty promises, but victory!

The greater the victory, the more we can boost morale!

Since entering Tianzhu, the Tang army has been in a state of great power and has captured large tracts of land. Good news comes one after another. This is a series of victories, and it is impossible to make the Tang army's morale not high.

"Crown Prince, the envoy of the Central Indians asked for a visit." The elite and powerful man hurriedly came to report.

"Entertain?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Are you here to seek peace?"

"Yes." Gao Lishi smiled and said, "It was the Prime Minister of Zhongtianzhu who came here in person, Zhongtianzhu was out of his courage."

This is reasonable. If Zhongtianzhu had the confidence, he would not have negotiated with the Tang Dynasty. If Zhongtianzhu had not been forced into a desperate situation, he would not have sent important officials like the prime minister to negotiate.

"Call him." Li Longji ordered.

Gao Lishi responded and hurried to get the people.

"Zhang said, you are resourceful, tell me, how should you deal with this matter?" Li Longji turned his head and asked Zhang beside Zhuma.

Zhang Shuo frowned, pondered slightly, and said, "Prince, I think we must be tough and cannot agree to Zhongtianzhu's peace request. We have to offer a bid code."

"Tell me in detail." Chu Nan knew that Zhang Shuo must have unique insights.

"After we entered Tianzhu, we were so powerful that we took down Northern Tianzhu in less than a month. This was really amazing. Even if I put some effort on Tianzhu, I didn't expect that Zhongtianzhu was so vulnerable. This time we entered Tianzhu, it was like a marching, with almost no tough battles." Zhang Shuo was quite moved.

"Yes, this is beyond my expectations." Li Longji agreed with this and nodded: "I know that the combat power of the Indian army is low, but I didn't expect it to be so low. No wonder Wang Xuance could sweep half of the Indian with tens of thousands of troops he borrowed back then."

Li Longji was very sure that the Tang Dynasty would definitely conquer India, but he did not expect it to be so smooth. The Indian army was vulnerable and collapsed when they looked at the wind. The degree of success was far beyond Li Longji's imagination.

"According to our progress, it will take long to take down Zhongtianzhu. If we can get the entire Zhongtianzhu, why should we accept Zhongtianzhu's peace?" Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "We can take this opportunity to make Zhongtianzhu surrender."

"How to do this?" If Zhongtianzhu can surrender, it will also be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and will be of great benefit.

Because this will scare other Indian kingdoms, and at the same time, they will create less killing and less hatred, which will facilitate the subsequent governance.

"Just just need to respond strongly." Zhang said his idea and said, "The prince only needs to intimidate the visitor and give Arona a little hope."

"Zhang said, you are so humble, you are beaten and pulled." Li Longji said with a smile.

At this moment, Gorix came with Asami.

"Assami has seen the prince." When Assami saw Li Longji, a kind smile appeared on her face, and smiles piled up layer by layer. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and her forehead touched the ground. She would be as respectful as she would be.

Li Longji seemed to have not seen Asami, and he did not want him to get up.

This put a lot of pressure on Asami and made him frightened.

Li Longji didn't ask him to get up, so he didn't dare to get up, so he had to kneel honestly. Time passed silently, and Asami's legs were numb.

"Are you here to seek peace?" Li Longji said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes. Please give it to the prince..." Asa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't have time to listen to your teeth grinding. Go back and tell Alona that if he surrenders, he can save his life. If he doesn't surrender, hum! Aloshun is his role model." Li Longji said coldly.

After saying a word, he didn't give Asami a chance to speak and rode away.

"Prince..." Asami wanted to speak, but Li Longji had already left. Asami stayed in the local area and could not speak.

He was ordered to come to seek peace, but unfortunately, Li Longji didn't give him a chance at all, and he didn't even have a chance to speak. The Tang Dynasty's desire to destroy the Central Indians was very strong.

After a long time, Asami realized and hurriedly rode his horse back.

Along the way, Asami worked tirelessly and finally rushed back to Raja City.

"Prime Minister, how? Has the peace talks been successful?" When Arona heard that Asami had come back, he immediately came up to meet him and shouted from afar, looking expectant.

The ministers' eyes were focused on Asami, and they were eager to pick out the answer from his mouth.

"Oh." Asami sighed softly.

Everyone's hearts fell to the bottom.

"Maybe? What should I do?" Alona was frightened, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.

"King, Li Longji said that as long as you surrender, you can protect your life..." Asa said secretly.

"What? Surrender?" A scream sounded, and the ministers were shocked.

"Surrender?" Arona said arduously.

"...If the king does not surrender, Alashun will be your role model." Now, Asami has simply told the truth.

"..." Arona opened her mouth so hard that she couldn't speak for a long time, and she looked frightened.

Aluoshun was captured alive by Wang Xuance and taken back to Chang'an. This was terrible.

It is not impossible to become the second A Luoshun, but it is very likely. Wang Xuance only used tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops to capture A Luoshun alive, while Li Longji held more than 200,000 elite troops. Can't he do it?

If Li Longji can't do it, A Luoshun can only wipe his neck. Escape is useless. Even if he escapes to the ends of the world, the Tang army will chase him.

Didn’t A Luoshun escape to Dongtianzhu back then? He was captured alive by Wang Xuance.
