Chapter 0114 Are you really here for peace talks?!
In front of the door of the ya tent, a slightly ornately dressed Turkic man sang loudly in praise as Xie Shufang slowly approached the door of the ya tent holding the tent.
"Meet the Tang envoy!"
Xie Shufang entered the dental tent amidst the singing of praises.
Jieli sat steadily in the middle of the tent, with his Teller, She, Yehu, Buick, and some of the leaders of the large tribes attached to him on either side.
The eyes of a group of people all fell on Xie Shufang the moment he entered the dental tent.
Xie Shufang was neither humble nor arrogant, and without a trace of panic, he walked steadily to the middle of the tent and said, "Xie Shufang, Marquis of Pingyao of the Tang Dynasty, the commander of the left army of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, see Jieli Khan."
After saying this, Uncle Xie bent down with his hands in hand.
Jieli sat there steadily and said nothing.
Sitting not far away from him, a strong man with a bunch of teeth hanging from his neck and a big beard suddenly said, "Li Tang is a thief who stole my homeland of Turkic Kohedun and established it, and he only has one place in Guanzhong."
, what qualifications do you have to call it big?!"
Xie Shufang raised his eyebrows and found trouble as soon as he came up. It seemed that this trip could not be good.
Immediately, Xie Shufang slightly bowed his hand to Jie Li, looked at the strong man who spoke and said: "I come from a military background, and I never like to compete with others for words.
Because no matter how sharp your words are, they are useless when faced with swords.
If you don't like me, you can have a fight with me.
If you want to defeat me, everything you say is right.
If you lose, don't speak again."
The strong man suddenly became angry.
He was also a well-established person in the Turks, and Jieli rarely spoke harsh words to him, let alone provoked him.
In the past, most of the Tang officials who went on diplomatic missions to the Turks greeted him with smiles.
Among them there are many who have higher status than Xie Shufang.
Xie Shufang's status was just average, and he was still in the trap of the Turks. If he dared to provoke him, how could he not be angry?
"Okay! Then I'll see what you can do! Look how much you thieves who stole our homeland of Kehe Dun weigh."
With that said, the strong man stood up and ordered people to get his sword.
Jie Li looked at Xie Shufang in astonishment. He had no idea that the envoys sent by the Tang people in Weize Pass were so tough and would use swords as soon as they met.
Are you here for peace talks?
Is this to delay time?
Is this just looking for trouble?
Jie Li was secretly annoyed, but he stopped the strong man from competing with Xie Shufang.
"Kili, there is a saying among the southerners that the one who calls is a guest. We'd better listen to what he has to say first, and then decide whether we want to see his methods."
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
It's also a good thing that the strong man named Kili didn't use the knife he brought to scratch his face, otherwise Jieli might not be able to stop this competition.
Kili glared at Xie Shufang fiercely and sat down with an indignant look on his face.
Jie Li stared at Xie Shufang and said slowly: "Tang Envoy, tell me. Your King of Qi sent you to see me for what purpose."
Xie Shufang glanced at Kili provocatively, raised his hands and said to Jieli: "King Huihan, what my Highness means is that we hope that both of us can suspend the fighting.
As long as the Khan can suspend his weapons, my Highness can give the Khan one hundred thousand stones of grain, twenty carts of gold and silver, one hundred carts of cloth, and one hundred thousand cattle and sheep."
Jie Li looked at Xie Shufang in astonishment.
He originally thought that Xie Shufang was here to delay time.
But the price offered by Xie Shufang was obviously not a price to delay, but was really aimed at peace talks.
The price offered by Xie Shufang far exceeded the price offered by Li Tang during the peace talks with the Turks when he raised his troops.
If it was Li Yuan who offered this price and promised to make these prices permanent, Jie Li would definitely lead his troops and leave without hesitation.
As for using the Central Plains as a horse ranch, or supporting Yang Zhengdao to rise to power, and waiting for Yang Zhengdao to give him many rewards, he can completely forget about it.
It's a pity that Xie Shufang represents Li Yuanji, the Qi king of Li Tang.
You can only promise once.
"Is this true?"
Jie Lirao was used to seeing big scenes and hearing others make big cakes for him, so he was a little moved at this moment.
Xie Shufang nodded without hesitation, "What His Highness said is of course true to his word."
Jie Li pondered and said: "As far as I know, your King Qi's reputation in Li and Tang is not very good. He may have some money, but I'm afraid he doesn't have that much food, cattle and sheep."
Uncle Xie said seriously: "Then it can only be said that King Khan's understanding of my Highness is too one-sided. If King Khan had sent more people to inquire, he should have known that my Highness had been in Luoyang before and had recruited no less than fifty people.
Ten Thousand Stones of Food.
Although a lot was consumed in the following days, there are still 300,000 stones that can be used.
Therefore, the food promised by His Highness can definitely be obtained.
As for cattle and sheep..."
Speaking of this, Xie Shufang paused for a moment, "In today's world, if you have food, are you afraid that you won't be able to exchange it for cattle and sheep?"
Jie Li stared at Xie Shufang without saying a word. When other people around Jie Li heard that Li Yuanji had collected no less than 500,000 shi of grain in Luoyang, they were first shocked, and then looked greedy.
If the 500,000 shi of grain collected by Li Yuanji can fall into their hands, then they will make a lot of money when they lead the army south this time.
As for consumption...
Just make up for it.
"Our Turkic army has now arrived at Weize Pass and will break through Weize Pass in the near future. As long as we break through Weize Pass, we will be able to get more food, not to mention 100,000 shi of food.
Therefore, your conditions as King Qi are not enough."
A Teller next to Jie Li spoke.
Teller is usually a descendant of a Turkic khan or a descendant of a Turkic ruling family.
Equivalent to the prince Longsun of the Central Plains, a descendant of the clan.
Xie Shufang said with a strong attitude: "My Highness has said that these are the only conditions he can offer. If King Khan agrees, then the two sides will stop fighting. If King Khan does not agree, then the two sides can only continue to fight."
"presumptuous!"
Teller scolded.
Xie Shufang stared at Jie Li and ignored him.
Jie Li pondered, but still did not speak.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The conditions offered by Li Yuanji are just at a critical point.
If he agreed, he would be a little reluctant.
If he didn't agree, he would be a little reluctant to give up.
Although his reason told him that as long as he broke through Weize Pass and led an army of 200,000 people south to plunder all over the Central Plains, what he would get would definitely exceed the conditions offered by Li Yuanji.
But he still couldn't help but think about the conditions Li Yuanji offered.
"Khan..."
Someone noticed that Jie Li was in a dilemma and hurriedly warned him.
Jie Li came back to his senses, stared at Xie Shufang thoughtfully, and said: "If you are willing to let Liu Heita out of confinement, and then give me the kind of weapons you used last night, as well as cattle, sheep, money and food, I can agree to it."
You, King Qi, suspend your weapons for a while."
Xie Shufang was obviously stunned when he heard Jie Li's words.
He immediately realized that the weapon Jie Li was talking about was probably Li Yuanji.
Something strange appeared on Xie Shufang's face, "King Khan, my Highness has said that he is only willing to give out everything he said and nothing else."
Jie Li suddenly frowned, "Now it is your King Qi who is asking for peace with me, not me. Why is he so tough?"
Having said this, Jie Li stood up slowly and said, "Go back and tell your King Qi that everything I said will not change. If he agrees, I can suspend my weapons. If he doesn't agree, I will immediately order an attack on Wei."
Zeguan."
Xie Shufang pretended to hesitate for a moment and said, "Can the foreign minister pay a visit to Lord Liang before he leaves?"
Jie Li's face changed slightly and he stared straight at Xie Shufang, "You want to see Master Liang?"
Xie Shufang nodded slowly.
Jie Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "What did you do when you saw Master Liang?"
Xie Shufang said without hesitation: "This time the Turks went south, there was more than one Khan. My Highness said that even if the Khan agreed to our conditions and was willing to suspend the fighting, the other two Khans did not agree.
To no avail.
Therefore, I ordered the foreign ministers to meet the other two Khans after meeting the Khan."
Jie Li stared and almost shouted, "As long as I decide to retreat, Tu Li and Master Liang will not dare to refute."
But after the words came to his lips, he realized that Li Yuanji had ordered the envoy to meet the three of them separately. Does that mean that Li Yuanji might offer three points of benefits?
Those who are sharp will become his, and those of Liang Shidu will also become his.
If Li Yuanji brought enough benefits to both Tu Li and Liang Shi, if the three points of benefits were added up, and Liu Heitai was included, they could consider retreating.
Anyway, he had two purposes for going south this time.
One is to save Liu Heitai at a critical moment and make Liu Heitai completely dependent on the Turks.
One is to rob some grain, money and food.
If Li Yuanji sent Liu Heita out of the customs and sent a large amount of money, grain, cattle and sheep, then he would not be unable to retreat.
If the goal has been achieved, there is no point in fighting against the Tang Dynasty.
"Go ahead."
After carefully considering the possible benefits, Jie Li waved his hand generously.
Xie Shufang apologized and left his teeth.
After Xie Shufang left, Jieli ordered: "Kili, tell Tuli that after the Tang Dynasty people go to his tent, let him bite him to death. Unless the Tang Dynasty people send Liu Heitao out of confinement, otherwise
There is absolutely no way we will retreat...
Rehan, why don't you go to Liang Shidu's tent and let me keep an eye on you."
Although Jie Li asked Xie Shufang to meet Master Liang, he was not worried about Xie Shufang and Master Liang meeting alone.
In case Liang Shidu has any different intentions, or Xie Shufang, on behalf of the Li Tang royal family, takes the opportunity to promise something to Liang Shidu.
Master Liang might have been swayed by the Tang people and turned against him, which would be bad.
Xie Shufang left Jieli's tent, and under the guidance of the Turks, went straight to Liang Shidu's tent.
After arriving at the door of Liang Shidu's tent, Xie Shufang sighed as he looked at Liang Shidu's wolf-headed hat, which was obviously one size smaller than Jieli's.
