After getting the envoys of the two countries under control, the negotiations went quite smoothly.
The assassination became Li Qinzai's bargaining chip. He put his chips on the negotiation table, and any opponent who saw it would be frightened from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, what's more important is that Li Qinzai is backed by a powerful country. This country can sweep the world and dominate the world, so that neighboring countries have to be afraid.
This is Li Qinzai’s greatest confidence.
Therefore, even if he only had a thousand soldiers by his side, even if he was in a desert border town, and could offend the two neighboring countries at any time, he did not weaken the Tang Dynasty at all.
And he arrogantly taught them the ways of the world again and again.
I, the Tang cavalry, are invincible in the world, who dares to do anything to me?
If he traveled through a small country like Baekje or Wa, well, it would probably be like winning the "do it again" consolation prize, hanging himself with a rope and trying his luck again.
"Tuyuhun will be divided between you and me, from Jishi Mountain to the west to the Kunlun Mountains, with this line as the boundary. All the land north of Tuyuhun will belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest will belong to Tubo. How about it?" Li Qinzai proposed the conditions with a smile.
Lun Zhongcong shook his head subconsciously: "The west of the Kunlun Mountains, including the Gomur Desert, has been occupied by Tibet. If we are asked to spit it out and give it to the Tang Dynasty, don't even think about it."
Li Qinzai's smile was a little cold: "This is my last condition. If you don't agree, we will see you on the battlefield. The Tang Dynasty was not so polite at that time. It was divided with you and Tubo. The whole territory of Tuyuhun belongs to the Tang Dynasty.
You Tubo go back to the plateau."
Lun Zhongcong said angrily: "Don't think that your weird weapons are invincible. After all, weapons are in the hands of people, and they can be defeated by people."
Li Qinzai said lazily: "It is true that people can be defeated, but you Tibetans have this kind of behavior, at least not in the past hundred years. Come on, do you agree? If you don't agree, we will use another method."
Lun Zhongcong hesitated, of course he didn't want to agree, but tonight he had been taken advantage of, and if they wanted to deal with the Tang army armed with new weapons, Tubo was really not sure.
Before weighing the pros and cons, Lun Zhongcong gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is a big one and I dare not make a decision on my own. I still need to report it to the Prime Minister and ask him to make a decision."
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "The envoy can't make the decision. Why did Lu Dongzan send you here? Are you coming to Liangzhou City to have a meal?"
"That's all, the negotiations between the three countries' missions have been finalized. You should go back and report to Lu Dongzan as soon as possible. Within a month, tens of thousands of the royal troops of the Tang Dynasty will be able to come to Liangzhou. If you want peace or war, please do as you please."
Before Zhong Cong entered and left the house, Li Qinzai stopped pretending. Anyway, the two envoys had seen through it, so it would be a bit embarrassing to pretend again. Obviously, his acting skills still have room for improvement.
Following Luan Zhongcong out of the house, he happened to see Princess Honghua and several entourage packing their luggage in a hurry and walking towards the gate of the post house.
Princess Honghua's eyes were red. When she saw Li Qinzai coming out, she gritted her teeth and glared. She came to me and said viciously: "Li Qinzai, I and the Khan will not let him go. We will see you in Chang'an!"
Everyone outside the yard, including Lun Zhongcong, looked at him strangely.
With such hatred as deep as the sea, what did County Uncle Li do to Princess Honghua in the house just now?
Li Qinzai couldn't help but sigh when he saw the strange expressions of everyone outside the yard.
Even jumping into the Yellow River can't clean her up. Can I do it to a princess in her forties? Has my aesthetics been reduced to the same as Li Zhi's?
What a shame and humiliation.
After walking up to Princess Honghua, Li Qinzai said with a genuine smile: "Princess, he should be careful when he returns to Chang'an. You also want your husband to be fine, right?"
As soon as these words came out, even Li Qinzai was stunned.
This line...well, why does it sound familiar?
Why do a bunch of Japanese romance movie titles suddenly pop up in your mind?
…………
Chang'an City.
Su Dingfang hurriedly walked into the Anren Hall of Taiji Palace, bowed and bowed as a minister after exiting the hall.
Li Zhixuan said hurriedly: "Old General, you must be polite. Come forward quickly."
Su Dingfang took a few steps forward, and when he was still dozens of steps away from Li Zhi, he stood still and refused to go any further. Su Dingfang knew the distance between the emperor and his ministers very well.
Li Zhi smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to come up in person, stand in front of Su Ding, and said: "I have something important to entrust to Mr. Su, and I ask Mr. Su not to refuse."
Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said solemnly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "On the battle between Tubo and Tuyuhun, battle reports were sent to Chang'an every day, and Li Jingchu also sent memorials every few days. Now the envoys of the three countries have gathered in Liangzhou, but the talks are not going well.
.”
Su Dingfang's eyes flashed and he said: "Your Majesty, would you like me to lead the army to the west to give Li Qinzai a backing?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Su Gong is indeed a famous general in our dynasty. He can see the key to the chaos in the northwest with just one word."
Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said, "I would like to lead the army to march westward. Please tell me how to proceed."
Li Zhi seemed to be in a good mood today and said with a smile: "It's not just about moving westward, but also entering Tuyuhun, under the guise of helping Tuyuhun fight the enemy..."
Su Dingfang continued: "After our army enters Tuyuhun, it will not be so easy for us to leave."
The king and his ministers looked at each other and laughed.
After Li Zhi laughed, he sighed and said, "To be honest, I have to thank Jingchu. He single-handedly bought more than two months of food and grass for the Tang Dynasty. These two months are crucial."
"Today, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported that more than 50,000 dan of grain and grass have been raised in Jiangnan and Huainan, which can barely sustain a war. I have issued an order that the grain and grass raised will go west first, and go to Yuanzhou, Lanzhou and Liangzhou..."
"Su Gong will receive the fish talisman and commander's seal tomorrow. He will appoint you as the ambassador to Anji and the general manager of Qinghai Road March. He will march westward with 30,000 troops. Of these 30,000 troops, 10,000 will be equipped with three-eyed muskets and sufficient gunpowder.
, after entering the Tuyuhun realm, you can look at it from all directions and be invincible."
Su Dingfang said happily: "The three-eyed blunderbuss made by the children of the Li family. I have long wanted to lead an army and personally command a battle. I also want to see what kind of consequences it can bring to the enemy if ten thousand people equip it."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "At the beginning, Li Jingchu led 6,000 troops and horses, which could sweep across the Japanese country and destroy it. Now, Su Gong leads 10,000 troops and horses, and the northwest is determined."
"Youwuwei General Dugu Qingyun said that Xin Wenling was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qinghai Road march. After Su Gong marched westward, he joined forces with the troops and horses of the six states under Zheng Rentai's jurisdiction. A total of more than 40,000 troops were commanded by Su Gong."
Li Zhi's tone suddenly became passionate: "In this Western Expedition, I want to drive the Tubo out of Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun can only be controlled by me and no one can covet it. From now on, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be expanded. This year I will
When you offer sacrifices to heaven, your achievements will shine in the Ancestral Temple, and you will live up to your ancestors."
Su Dingfang's old face suddenly turned red, he clasped his fists excitedly, gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to open this territory for the Tang Dynasty, and I will live up to the kindness of three generations of emperors!"
