But he still had to admit that Zhao Youlin won this time.
All his plans fell through because Zhao Youlin had long known that Chang'an wanted to negotiate peace.
In the final analysis, Li Chengqian did not lose to Zhao Youlin, but to his own people.
To be honest, Li Chengqian was really unwilling.
But what can he do?
You can't disobey Li Shimin at this time, right?
No matter how ignorant Li Chengqian is, he also understands that war is no joke.
Once he goes against Li Shimin's wishes and the war suffers casualties or stagnates, then his sin will be great.
Not to mention whether the voice of Chang'an City scolding him will rise again.
Just talking about himself, he is afraid that he will fall into the same situation as Li Tai.
Compared with being imprisoned and enduring for a period of time, Li Chengqian still preferred the latter.
What's more, for the current Tang Dynasty, the longer it can endure, the more advantage it will have.
After all, Li Chengqian's ordnance camp has begun to take shape.
And through the events of this war, he also realized that the skills of making H-drugs in this era were perfect enough.
Next, he can also use this skill to forge more terrifying weapons.
Once firearms come out one day, it will only be a matter of Li Chengqian's words to defeat the Western Turks, or even any enemy in the world.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry.
Since they want to negotiate peace, let them go.
As long as these guys can understand each other better and don't get into trouble with him, it will be fine.
But is this possible?
Is it obviously impossible?
Especially if the person negotiating peace is still Zhao Youlin, it is even more impossible.
Zhao Youlin knew very well what Li Chengqian hated and what the Tang Dynasty could give up for peace.
Therefore, when he negotiated peace, the first condition he proposed was marriage.
And get married The target is named Li Tingxue.
When Chen Shuda heard this condition, he was also shocked.
After all, Li Chengqian warned him at that time.
If you want to negotiate for peace, you can, but if you want to negotiate for peace at Li Tingxue's expense, they don't have to live...
He might just ignore what others said and just laugh.
But the person who said this was Li Chengqian, who was always known for his words.
This guy dared to go against Qi Wang, the fifth surname, and also dared to go on a killing spree in Chang'an City.
If he really dared to send his sister away, he would be asking for death.
Chen Shuda's face was full of confusion: "I'm afraid we can't agree to this."
"Besides, the princess's status is special, and we can't make the decision at all."
Hearing this, Zhao Youlin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"oh?"
"Since you can't make the decision, what are you talking to me about? Why don't you go back and find someone who can make the decision?"
"And I will leave it here today. If I want to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, there is only one condition, and that is for the princess to marry me."
Zhao Youlin raised his head slightly and said: "If the princess is willing to marry, I will lead my headquarters to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and would rather become a vassal state of a foreign state!"
Oh my god……
When he heard this, even Chen Shuda was frightened.
Zhao Youlin is really willing to spend money to marry Li Tingxue.
They were actually willing to pay the price by becoming a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.
Without waiting for Chen Shuda to speak, Zhao Youlin said: "This condition should be a win-win situation for both you and me, right?"
"You wait for me to get a wife, and I get a wife for you. You wait for peace in the northwest, and I get a strong helper."
"And I am also willing to guarantee to Datang
Proof, if you can marry Li Tingxue to me, I will do my best to ensure peace in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty!"
This condition is really too tempting.
Without Li Chengqian's warning, Chen Shuda really wanted to agree on the spot.
After all, this is an extremely generous condition for Datang.
If the negotiation could be concluded like this, he would probably be treated like a hero when he returned to Chang'an City.
However, the current situation is that Li Chengqian has already issued a warning... ??
"King Zhao, I will discuss this matter in detail when I get back, and will quickly pass it on to Chang'an to inform His Majesty."
Chen Shuda faced Zhao Youlin and said: "If your Majesty agrees, we will naturally be happy to see that the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks will forever establish an alliance."
"good!"
Zhao Youlin smiled heartily and said: "In that case, Zhao will send you all a respectful greeting."
Wait until you come out of the Western Turkic camp.
A minister next to Chen Shuda immediately stood up and said, "Sir, Zhao Youlin has already made such concessions, why didn't he agree to it directly?"
"promise?"
"What's the promise?"
Chen Shuda chuckled and said, "Don't you know who Li Tingxue is?"
"Not to mention that she herself is a troublemaker, but behind her there are Gao Zhixing and His Highness King Qin."
"If we really make the decision without permission and agree to this, we will die without any bones left. Do you believe it or not?"
Hearing this, the minister was a little disdainful.
"Sir, your words are a bit alarmist."
"After all, we are envoys appointed by His Majesty. How dare they rebel?"
In his opinion, these people were personally appointed by Li Shimin to negotiate peace.
If Li Chengqian dares to attack them, he is rebelling.
Even if Li Chengqian was brave enough to defy Li Shimin's imperial edict, could it be that his Are you still brave enough to dare to rebel?
Seeing the minister's appearance, Chen Shuda couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"I think you have all forgotten the original Prince Lu's Mansion."
"Then His Highness King Qin dares to carry a gun and kill people outside Prince Lu's palace. What else does he not dare to do?"
"We are just peace envoys, and His Royal Highness King Nalu is His Majesty's half-brother."
"Do you really think that the lives of us people are more valuable than His Royal Highness King Lu's?"
After speaking, Chen Shuda sighed: "This time I can only pass the news to His Majesty first, and then we can make a decision after His Majesty makes a decision."
…
At the same time, in the Tang camp at Yumen Pass.
Li Chengqian was talking with Li Ji in the Chinese military tent.
After Li Ji dropped his son, he couldn't help but look up at Li Chengqian and asked: "Your Highness, what conditions do you think Zhao Youlin will put forward this time? Is it money, power, or women?"
"Based on what I know about him, there is a high probability that he will target my sister."
"He knows my sister's place in my heart, and he will never give up this good opportunity to stimulate me."
"And according to my guess, he will definitely come up with many benefits over Datang."
Li Chengqian casually dropped a sunspot, and then said: "Anyone who is willing to submit, be willing to be a vassal, or be willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, these are all possible."
Hear these words.
Li Ji fell into deep thought, raised his head and said, "Can he pay so much for the princess?"
"of course not!"
Li Chengqian looked up at Li Ji and said with a smile: "Teacher, based on your understanding of me, do you think I might let my sister marry him?"
"Won't……"
When these words came out of his mouth, Li Ji didn't think about it at all.
Because he really knows Li Chengqian too well.
He also knew that Li Chengqian would never allow his sister to marry to a foreign country...
