"You..." Lun Qinling was also choked by Wang Xiaojie's words. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but soon he discovered that what Wang Xiaojie said was the truth. With the current situation in Tubo, he could only ask for peace from the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xiaojie's identity was enough to make him a bargaining chip for peace from Tubo. In comparison, his head might be more valuable.

Seeing Lun Qinling speechless, Wang Xiaojie also laughed loudly, then poured a cup of tea for the other party himself, and then said again: "No kidding, since you are here to see me, you must have figured it out?"

Everyone was smart, and Lun Qinling did not go around the corner. He nodded and said, "Yes, although the other party cannot break through the city wall for the time being, with our current situation, I'm afraid I can't hold on for long, so I have no other choice."

"That's right. It's not that I'm talking about you. Your son can see it more clearly and more decisively than you. If he was in the Tang Dynasty, his future achievements would definitely be much better than you!" Wang Xiaojie immediately slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

If the person in the world who most hopes that Qinling surrendered to the Tang Dynasty was definitely him. This is not just because Lu Qinling is very important to the Tang Dynasty. In fact, for him personally, Lu Qinling surrendered to the Tang Dynasty is also more important. You should know that he is a prisoner of war. Even if he returns to the Tang Dynasty in the future, he may not only be punished, but also be pointed at by others. Maybe he will never be able to stand up straight for the rest of his life.

But if Lun Qinling surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiaojie would have made contributions to persuade surrender. In this way, he was captured not only for not guilty, but also made contributions. Therefore, both Yu Gong and Yu Ge, Wang Xiaojie hoped Lun Qinling surrendered, and now he finally waited for this day.

When Lu Qinling heard Wang Xiaojie praise his son, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that he is really old?

"Tell me, are you planning to let me write a letter and then take you to the Tang Dynasty? I remember that General Xue is still stationed in Tuyuhun. As long as he sees my letters and the few imperial edicts in your son's hands, he will immediately send troops to help you." Wang Xiaojie said again at this time.

Just relying on the few imperial edicts in Gong Ren's hands, Xue Rengui may still be suspicious, but if Wang Xiaojie's letters are added, the credibility of this matter will increase a lot, and Xue Rengui will also react as soon as possible.

"No, I want you to accompany Gong Ren to take a walk in person!" Lun Qinling shook his head and said.

"Huh? Are you so relieved?" Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Lun Qinling's words. You must know that he is a hostage in Lun Qinling's hands. Although his personal life and death may not be anything in the face of the national trend, he can sometimes get some benefits.

"Since they are all about to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, then do it a little bit more. It will be even more unfavorable for me!" Lun Qinling sighed at this time. Their family once worked hard for Tubo, but now they want to betray Tubo and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which made him feel a little sad.

"I have the courage to be defeated by you, I am convinced!" Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard Lu Qinling's words. He was not flattering Lu Qinling. In fact, he really admired Lu Qinling very much. Even if he was on a hostile standpoint, the other party was a respectable opponent. What's more, even a famous general like Xue Rengui was defeated by the other party, so it would not be embarrassing that he was captured by the other party.

Lun Qinling smiled bitterly when he heard Wang Xiaojie's words. If it were the past, he would definitely be proud of Wang Xiaojie's words, but now he has reached this point. He has long since become so proud that he has not been as proud as before, and sometimes even feels discouraged.

Without further ado, since the decision was made, Lun Qinling immediately arranged for Wang Xiaojie to set off, and he immediately sent someone to summon Gong Ren. When Gong Ren learned that his father had finally decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he almost jumped up happily.

But now it is not the time to be happy. Lun Qinling immediately arranged guards and horses for Gong Ren and the others, and also held a banquet to see them off in person. After dark, Gong Ren and Wang Xiaojie led people to quietly leave the city from the city gate on the other side of Chiling Pass, and then ran to the Tang Dynasty for help.

At the same time, Zhang Zong and Li Hong in Chang'an City were also discussing the situation in Tubo. Since receiving Gong Ren's letter last time and the battle situation in Tubo, Li Hong also sent more people to keep an eye on the changes in Tubo. However, the distance between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is still a bit far, especially in this era of backward transportation, which made the transmission of information very backward. Even if Feinusi's Feige sent a letter, the information obtained often lags behind for ten days and half a month.

"The royal coalition forces are attacking Chiling Pass fiercely. According to the analysis of the battle situation sent by General Xue, Lunqinling can still hold on for the time being, but now I don't know the situation in Chiling Pass, so General Xue cannot tell how long Lunqinling can last for the time being?" Li Hong held a memorial in his hand and said to Zhang Zongdao.

In order to analyze the situation facing Lun Qinling, Li Hong even personally sent a letter to Xue Rengui, asking him to help analyze the battle situation in Tubo. After all, Xue Rengui is not only familiar with Tubo, but also with Lun Qinling, so his analysis is still very credible.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. It's winter coming soon. Even if Lun Qinling can defeat the royal coalition, how should he spend this winter next? As far as I know, the winter on the plateau is very long and difficult." Zhang Zong smiled patiently. In his opinion, the situation facing Lun Qinling was almost unsolvable.

"That's true. Moreover, the royal coalition has organized so much manpower and material resources, so it is impossible to tolerate Lun Qinling's survival. After all, if you don't die when you fight a snake, they may be worried about Lun Qinling's revenge in the future." Li Hong nodded in agreement when he heard Zhang Zong's words.

"Yes, I guess Lu Qinling may make a decision soon. Maybe he has sent Gong Ren to meet the old general Xue." Zhang Zong said relaxed again.

Li Hong nodded when he heard this, but at this moment he suddenly thought of something, so he spoke again: "When it comes to General Xue, some people in the court now have some objections to him, and they have already quarreled with his father for this. Yesterday, the father also wrote me a letter to me, wanting to ask for my opinion."

"Oh? What objection?" Zhang Zong asked with great concern when he heard about Xue Rengui.

"Actually, it's just an old saying, it's just an arrangement against the generals after the war. General Xue made great contributions. In addition, he is old, so many people in the court suggested that he should be transferred back to the court for retirement and no longer allowed him to lead troops outside, so as not to form a situation where he would not lose his tail." Li Hong replied helplessly.
