What Li Chengqian was thinking could not be seen by others, but could Yin Zhao see it?
This guy made it clear that he wanted to take Jiaohe City as his own and use it as a front line to resist the invasion of the Western Turks.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks.
And judging from the current situation, the start of this war is getting closer and closer.
After all, Qiuci State is also the outpost of the Western Turks.
If the Qiuci Kingdom was completely lost or surrendered directly to the Tang Dynasty, it would have very serious consequences for the Western Turks.
Yin Zhao pursed his lips and said: "After all, we, Gaochang, are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and this time the Tang Dynasty is fighting this war just to stand up for us."
"So, we in Gaochang cannot just watch."
"This time, the king not only asked me to bring five thousand soldiers and horses for His Highness to dispatch."
"I also sent a lot of food and meat to replenish the bodies of the brothers."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said: "Then Guoshi Yin will go back and help me thank King Gaochang for his kindness."
"We can collect the things, but the people and horses..."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Please take it back, we have enough manpower."
Hearing this, Yin Zhao couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Li Chengqian with suspicion.
What does this guy mean?
Is this a refusal to allow our own side to participate in the war?
Yin Zhaoqian laughed twice and said: "Your Highness, how can this be so embarrassing? After all, this is our war in Gaochang."
"Hi."
"Gaochang has long declared its surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and to put it bluntly, you are also our subjects of the Tang Dynasty."
"Now, you are in trouble. As the sovereign state, we naturally want to help you. What's wrong with you?"
Li Chengqian still smiled and looked at Yin Zhao and said: "So, you can just watch from behind and there is no need to participate in the battle."
His purpose is already clear.
Anything is fine, but Gaochang is not allowed to participate in the war.
Its original The reason is because Li Chengqian wanted this war to become a war of the Tang Dynasty, not a war of the Gaochang Kingdom.
Only in this way, after the war, could Li Chengqian ask for things from King Shizi of Gaochang.
Apart from other things, at least we have to get the Jiaohe City under our feet.
And how smart is Yin Zhao?
How could he not understand what Li Chengqian meant?
But now, Li Chengqian has said this, what else can he do?
You can't beg for nothing and let your brothers join the war, right?
Yin Zhao took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his already explosive mood.
He raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian again and asked, "What is your highness planning to do next?"
"What to do?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you asking about Qiuci?"
"certainly."
Yin Zhao smiled and said: "I see that His Highness's troops have almost turned Qiuci upside down, and they are still advancing westward."
"It seems that His Highness has already achieved his own success."
"Of course, I don't ask you this for any other reason. I just want to know how long it will take for this war to end..."
After finishing speaking, he slightly tilted his head, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, can you tell me your plans?"
Hearing these words, Li Chengqian laughed.
"I don't have any plans."
"I just want these people to experience the feeling of being invaded and robbed."
Li Chengqian pointed out: "After all, many years ago, our Tang Dynasty also suffered this kind of disaster thanks to the blessings of these barbarians."
What he said was obviously a slap in the face of Yin Zhao.
And Yin Zhao could naturally hear the hint of threat in his words.
For a moment, Yin Zhao also
Somewhat angry.
{Received anger value +35 from Yin Zhao...}
The moment the system prompt sounded, Yin Zhao squinted his eyes and said, "But Your Highness, by doing this, you are undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the Western Turks."
"If one day, the Western Turks suddenly leave the northern battlefield and attack here, it will be a bit difficult..."
Li Chengqian threatened him, and he also threatened Li Chengqian.
This is nothing more than what he was saying to Li Chengqian.
In this world, there is not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the Western Turks. .??.
If Li Chengqian dared to treat Gaochang as a soft persimmon, Gaochang would really dare to defect to the Western Turks.
And how could someone as smart as Li Chengqian fail to hear the hidden meaning behind his words?
I saw that the expression on Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged, and he was still smiling.
"Western Turks?"
"Do you think I will be afraid of him?"
"Has Zhao Youlin suffered too many defeats at my hands?"
"Or is it that the Western Turks really have the courage to fight a decisive battle with us, the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled: "As far as I know, there are many problems within the Western Turks, and many tribes are thinking of rebelling."
"Based on the current situation, even if Zhao Youlin leads his people back from the frontline battlefield, they still have too much time to take care of themselves. Where can they find time to assist Kucha?"
"Moreover, if our Tang Dynasty wants to eliminate someone, others cannot stop it. Qiuci is a good example right now..."
He raised his head and looked at Yin Zhaodao: "Moreover, now I not only want Kucha to pay the price, I also want to kill them until they are exterminated."
Just a few short sentences.
Li Chengqian directly stated his attitude.
If you dare to seek refuge with the Western Turks, I will tie you to the Qiuci Kingdom and beat you until your country is destroyed.
Yin Zhao narrowed his eyes and said: "Your Highness, war is not a good thing. In the end, you will suffer." They are all common people."
"Yes, no one likes war."
"And we Tang people are the most peace-loving."
"It's just that not everyone can bully us."
"If someone dares to bully us, our fists and our knives will let the other person know what pain is."
"And Master Yin, I have to remind you."
"I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you are just the national counselor of a subordinate country."
Li Chengqian's smile became ambiguous and he said: "If you dare to be arrogant in front of me again, I will kill you directly..."
If at the beginning, Li Chengqian had any intention of making detours with Yin Zhao, then he had no intention of doing so anymore.
Li Chengqian really didn't like dealing with these people who were obsessed with saving face and suffering.
He is obviously a minister of a vassal country, but he still wants to show off in front of himself. Isn't he too shameless?
After saying this, Yin Zhao was also shocked.
He really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would speak so straightforwardly.
Just say directly that I'm going to kill him.
"It was my fault."
Yin Zhao is also someone who can bow his head.
He stood up, bowed slightly towards Li Chengqian, and said, "But Your Highness, aren't you afraid that Qiuci will fight to the death with you?"
"Although Qiuci has fewer soldiers and generals, he is not easy to bully."
"If it has to be forced to the point of death, can Datang really be able to survive alone?"
Although he was talking about Qiuci, he was actually talking about themselves.
Obviously, this guy is still thinking about letting Gao Changguo take the initiative in this negotiation.
And will Li Chengqian know him?
"Are we, the Tang Dynasty, going to die?"
Li Chengqian looked at Yin Zhao and asked with a cold look in his eyes: "Is he worthy of Qiuci..."
