Cheng Yaojin had just sent away Li Xiang and General Qin Qiong, and was about to send away Jin Wang Li Zhi.
According to Li Shimin's order, Jin King Li Zhi returned to Beijing early and did not need to wait until the agreement was signed. This meant that Li Zhi's idea of taking credit on the front line was now impossible.
"Dad, this emperor is too ruthless. With such a big contribution, he deserves more than he deserves. If I just give him a sum of money when the time comes, who else can I lose? I doubt this old man.
Is Jiu the Emperor’s biological child?”
Cheng Chumo stood next to his father and said with some confusion. Although he didn't have a good impression of Li Zhi, seeing Li Zhi's fate now, he couldn't bear it in his heart. This kid came all the way from Chang'an and saw the war coming.
It was over, and everyone else could achieve some military exploits. Unfortunately, he had nothing, so he hurried back before the feudal ministers.
"This is the emperor's wisdom. If you let him stay on the front line, what reward should you give him when the agreement is signed? As for military merit, he has none in his hands and has not even stepped out of the city gate.
If you go one step further, if he is the Military Counselor, you people will not be convinced, after all, he has not done anything."
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Cheng Chumo suddenly realized that Li Zhi really couldn't stay on the front line. If others wanted to take the credit, they could more or less have something to praise, but Li Zhi had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.
I can't find any, and if I say there is, it's always a disservice.
"And as the negotiations progress, this guy may go astray for a while..."
Cheng Yaojin didn't understand what he said, but his son was not a fool. Li Zhi had this idea yesterday. Unfortunately, there was no useful person around him, and his head was still reasonable, so he didn't take that step.
But in the following days, all kinds of stimulations come one after another, and who knows whether he will take that step.
If he really takes that step, even if he has the favor of the emperor, he will probably have to engage in military law. The emperor now allows him to return to Beijing, which can be regarded as protecting him in some aspects.
"The nine sons of dragons are all different!"
Cheng Chumo sighed, then turned around and looked at the south. Negotiations there must have started!
Just as Cheng Chu thought in silence, the two sides have now reached their respective positions. Compared with the last meeting, the attitudes of both sides this time are different.
Li Xiang and Qin Qiong were a little arrogant, while Prime Minister Midu was a little more humble. Last time the two sides had a winner and loser, this time the winner and loser were already obvious.
"You mean a truce?"
After Prime Minister Midu expressed his thoughts, Li Xiang did not put forward his own conditions. Instead, he found a breakthrough on the issue of armistice.
really……
Hearing these four words Li Xiang said, Prime Minister Midu felt nervous. The Tang Dynasty is indeed not prepared to cease the war. Yesterday was not to show off force to us, but to conduct real combat readiness training. It is very likely that the war will continue.
ignite.
"I, Tuyuhun, have no hatred against Datang. What happened this time was also caused by poor communication between us. For the sake of the harmonious life of the people on both sides, we should solve this problem rationally instead of resorting to force."
Prime Minister Midu pointed to the fertile grassland in the distance. He hoped to talk to General Qin Qiong. Unfortunately, General Qin Qiong closed his eyes and rested his mind since he sat down, leaving everything to Li Xiang.
.
Prime Minister Midu had already experienced Li Xiang's power last time. I don't know how many brain cells would be lost when negotiating with such a person.
"If the Prime Minister wanted to resort to force, it was you who led the army to approach Liangzhou City first and gave us the illusion of war. We came all the way from Chang'an. Why didn't you say anything to the common people at that time?
How about living in harmony? Why don’t you solve the problem rationally?”
Li Xiang quickly caught Prime Minister Midu's fault. Now that you have been defeated, you want peace. If you had been victorious, you might have been in Liangzhou City by now.
"At this time and that time, we did not think clearly at the time. This was our Tuyuhun's fault. Therefore, if His Highness the Emperor Sun can agree to a truce, then we, Tuyuhun, are willing to make certain compensation."
Prime Minister Midu knows very well that you cannot talk empty words at this time. If you keep talking and talking and make the other party anxious in the end, then you will get nothing, and it is very likely that we will usher in a larger-scale war.
A major war would be extremely detrimental to Tuyuhun, so as soon as the negotiations started, he brought the topic to compensation.
"We, the Tang Dynasty, do not need compensation. What we, the Tang Dynasty, need is a century of peace on the southwest border."
If you were an ordinary person, if someone says they want to compensate you, then you have to start bargaining. But Li Xiang is not such a person. If you say you want to compensate me, can I compensate you? What qualifications do you have to compensate me? Do I agree?
Although General Qin Qiong closed his eyes, he almost laughed out loud at this moment. This kid Li Xiang is really bad. Of course he is qualified to say so. With thousands of soldiers under his command, he has already brought chaos to the entire Tuyuhun.
It was earth-shaking. If it weren't for this military exploit, Prime Minister Midu might not be able to talk to him on an equal footing. After all, there is a generation gap between the two of them!
A century of peace on the southwest border?
Prime Minister Midu repeated this sentence in his mind, does this mean that he will completely eliminate me, Tuyuhun?
"Children of the Tang Dynasty, don't bully others too much. I still have millions of elite soldiers in Tuyuhun. If you don't accept it, bring your troops to fight."
When Prime Minister Midu was thinking about how to reply, who knew that there was a fool behind him who said such words, Prime Minister Midu secretly screamed.
Li Xiang also looked up, haha! There really are those who are not afraid of death. It seems that there is still a voice of resistance among the Tuyuhun army. If this is the case, then I have to teach you a lesson today. You have to fight for you.
These words come at a price.
"You are so presumptuous, you have no right to speak, so stand down immediately."
Prime Minister Midu was immediately startled when he saw this man. This man was Zhe Duoji, the close nephew of Tuyuhun Khan. He was also a leader among the younger generation of Tuyuhun. His immediate kung fu was astonishing. He was hailed as a famous general of Tuyuhun's future generation and also a grassland general.
Eagle.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister..."
"Get out of here!"
Prime Minister Midu said angrily. He had transferred some of the young men around him a long time ago. Unexpectedly, he had forgotten this boy. Is this a place where you can talk freely? How much harm will your words bring to Tuyuhun?
crisis?
"Wait a minute..."
When Zhe Duoji was about to walk back with a frustrated look on his face, Li Xiang spoke up...
