Li Po smiled and asked lightly, "What does Khan mean?"
The woman said: "The Khan asked me to tell the general that this person is of no importance, but he has committed a heinous crime. He asked me to bring him to Jinyang for no other reason than to let the general understand that our Turks are no longer as good as the Li family..."
"General, do you know why Li Yuan sent Chen Shuda and others to our Turkic royal court? In order to regain Jinyang, Li Yuan has the intention to pay tribute to our Turkic vassal... Now I have captured Chen Shuda here, Khan
Didn’t you do a lot more than you imagined?”
These words didn't sound so harsh. No matter what Princess Yicheng thought, Li Po was slightly less disgusted.
Therefore, the standard for measuring the quality of a messenger is actually quite simple. Good messengers will always try to make things develop in the direction they want. Needless to say, bad messengers will always do things badly.
, even so bad that it completely contradicts the purpose of the mission.
Compared with Ashina Peony, Dou Jing is undoubtedly a classic negative example.
Li Po rolled his eyes and said, "It's not easy to get stained with the blood of the royal family."
The woman had a slight upper hand and her words became sharper.
"Does the general still have a little blood from the Ashina tribe?"
Li Po was stunned for a moment. He had to admit that what he said made sense.
But how could Ashina be the same as the Jiangnan Chen family? Li Po murmured in his heart, there seemed to be a lot of people named Ashina on the grassland, it was not unusual at all.
So what if I kill a few? I don’t see how upset you Turks are, why don’t you send someone to fix it with me?
But how many people in the Central Plains can get close to the Jiangnan Chen family? This is a standard rare animal. Killing one of them will cause a big fuss.
But it was impossible for him to say these words to the person in front of him.
After cupping his hand, he simply admitted that he really didn't expect to receive such a "gift".
"Well, I have to say that this gift is very unique. It seems that Li Po can only accept the Khan's kindness."
The woman laughed, and her unique laughter finally began to reverberate in the hall. She was obviously very happy to be able to win the battle with this man's words.
"Too much blood has been shed between us. We should put aside those hatreds and go see other people or places. War horses will always have a place to stay, and scimitars will never be useless. Don't you think so?
"
"I think this head will also be very useful to the general..."
Li Po rolled his eyes and thought, thinking, what use can such a head be used for? Do you really think I would carry it around to let others know that such a person died in my hands?
?
He raised his glass and said, "It seems that the blood and hatred between us have become a thing of the past. Ever since you entered Jinyang City, these are the most pleasant words. Come and drink so that we can live together safely in the future."
Well, isn’t that why we are sitting here talking?”
The woman raised her glass happily and said with a smile: "What you say is always as sharp as a blade, and when you suffer some setbacks, the words you say are more beautiful than any music in the world. It can be compared with someone like you."
When drinking together, it’s really hard for people to tell whether they are happy or miserable.”
He didn't know whether it was a compliment or a criticism, which made Li Po feel very awkward.
But the atmosphere is indeed relaxed, and the confrontation between you and me is actually not much different from the fighting in the battle formation.
The interests and dangers contained in it also do not belong to a war.
In fact, this is just an appetizer and does not really enter the theme. Just like war, the real fierce confrontation will only stay behind.
Next, the woman took advantage of the situation and served the first main course.
Princess Yicheng wanted to make Li Po the Khan of the South. This was not only a reward, but also an act to determine master and subordinate.
Li Po was well prepared, so naturally he would not agree. He just refused and said: "Back then, the emperor wanted to make Ashina Chiji the Khan of the South, but Ashina Chiji did not dare to accept it. I am just a small side character."
General, how dare you accept such a title?"
The answer was an understatement and the reason was far-fetched, but it showed his determination. This was not a question that could be discussed at all.
The woman was obviously prepared, this person was different from other Sui people.
If it were someone else, he would probably happily accept this title, but this person killed Turks in piles of corpses on the grasslands and in Mayi, and he never had any intention of bowing to the Turks.
This is a fierce horse that is difficult to tame, or even a wild beast. His danger is even more chilling than the flickering eyes in the royal court.
The woman straightened her body slightly and her face became serious, but instead of trying to persuade her, she immediately changed her explanation.
"In January next year, when the wind and snow on the grassland subsides, a grand alliance will be held in Dali City. Khan said, if you don't accept the ban, then send people to participate in the alliance. Remember, let
They brought good gifts, gifts that were enough to persuade the nobles not to come for revenge."
These words also have an unquestionable flavor.
Li Po looked at the woman and slowly stopped smiling. He thought to himself, if I lead an army to kill you and cook you all into a pot, is this gift heavy enough? Is it also very convincing?
Of course, this can only be his imagination.
If the Turkic tentacles were still somewhere in the north, perhaps the precautions during the alliance meeting would have been relaxed, but in Dali City, there was a female khan who wanted to declare her authority.
Leading troops to raid the Turkic royal court at this time is definitely a stupid and bad idea.
It's as incredible as if the emperor was holding a ceremony to worship heaven, but you led troops to besiege Chang'an. The emperor happened to use you to worship heaven.
Li Po blinked, "So, what kind of gift can satisfy Khan?"
After asking, he knew he had asked a stupid question.
Sure enough, the woman's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Does the host still have to decide on the gift that the guest gives to the host?"
Well, okay, Li Po immediately cursed fiercely in his stomach, damn Chen Shuda, he was always a little distracted.
Li Po picked up the wine glass and took a sip to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Well, I will send someone to attend the alliance meeting...hehe..."
Having said this, he deliberately laughed, and his meaning was very clear. After killing so many Turks, what would happen if his envoy appeared at the alliance meeting?
This time he had to send someone who was not afraid of death, or someone who had offended him. Well, Yu Wenxin's face suddenly appeared in Li Po's mind without any surprise.
And this is indeed very funny, and it also shows that politics is somewhat more ruthless than military affairs.
The woman had obviously thought of this, she just drooped the corners of her mouth and glared at Li Po dissatisfied.
"And I offer my respect to the Khan, but you have to know, are these really enough to heal the pain and increase the Khan's prestige?"
Li Po laughed again and murmured as if talking to himself: "Let a powerful enemy offer a congratulatory gift... Tsk, tsk, is the Turkic Khan's position really so easy to stabilize?"
This sentence is obviously meant to poke someone else's back. This is indeed what Princess Yicheng wants to achieve.
Seeing his expression, the woman's thirst for knowledge was suddenly stimulated.
"Then what do you need to do to stabilize the sweat position?"
This was what Li Po wanted, and he immediately seized the opportunity to take revenge.
"What can an outsider like me know about the household affairs of the Turks?"
Well, no matter what Li Po does, he is always a little bit chicken-hearted. This is his nature, and there is almost no possibility of changing it.
The woman was very smart, and she came back to her thoughts immediately. She was so suppressed by him that she bent her neck, and a vein was exposed from her forehead.
Li Po smiled with satisfaction and immediately changed the subject, "The meeting of the Turkic tribes should be very grand. Alas, if I had not been able to leave, I would have taken a look in person."
As he spoke, he shook his head mockingly, "Originally I thought... To be honest, I originally thought that the Khan wanted to repay me, so he should give up Dingxiang County..."
"Well, don't get angry yet. I think that moving the Turkic royal court to the north will make it easier for the Khan to rule the various tribes. In Dingxiang County, the royal court is far away from the eastern and western tribes, but closer to the Turkic enemies."
"Remember, I am not the only enemy. Think about the Khitans and the Xi tribes. Moreover, the Tiele tribes should be one of the most favorable supports for the Turkic throne, right?"
"I can hear the rebellion by the Tula River from here. It is far away from the control of the royal court. Only the Tiele tribes of the Western Khan are either rebelling or separatist. The root of the Turks is that the people in the royal court have
How long has it been since you saw the white peak of the Holy Mountain?"
This stab with ulterior motives was even more severe.
The woman fell silent immediately.
Li Po was not just talking nonsense. The weaknesses of the Turks were all in his words.
The convenience brought by the Turkic Khan's southward migration gradually disappeared in each war, and its disadvantages were also exposed.
The control of the Turkic royal court over the east and west was weakening, the feuds in the north were slowly recovering, and the wars in the Sui Dynasty in the south were bringing less and less benefits to the Turks.
This is actually the reason why they repeatedly failed in several wars after the eleventh year of Daye.
Li Po also gave a solution and moved the sweat account northward.
The ancestors of the Turkic people were not randomly selected in the hometown of Turkic Yazhang. It was the serious heart of the grassland. Now that the heart has moved downward, all kinds of discomforts have followed.
Moreover, a mutation occurred during this process, and a female Khan actually appeared.
So, Li Po took this opportunity to put a very tempting apple in front of the woman, well, let's say Princess Yicheng. If she can't eat it, what will happen if she eats it?
Li Po wouldn't care about it. Anyway, the border troubles in the north will subside for a while.
