After a long time, this elegant and noble woman slowly raised her head, her eyes were extremely deep, as if she wanted to see the Central Plains across thousands of mountains and rivers, and said slowly: "The current situation is still that I am strong and weak, so even if they win, they don't dare to mess around, although they hold the Turkic Khan in their hands, but they still have to take into account our emotions, so this negotiation, you can completely force the negotiation......"

"Hard-talking? Is it the meaning of-for-tat? ”

"No, you have to let the places that should be given, such as the land of Liang occupied by the Han people in this war, the fat they swallowed will definitely not be spit out again, although you still have to fight for reason, but you must be prepared not to get it back."

"The second thing is to redeem Jieli Khan. This shouldn't be difficult, the other party is at most offering a higher price, but the Han people have an old saying, called asking for a price to pay back on the spot, we just need to know that they don't actually want to keep the profits, so we can negotiate this matter with a hard price. ”

"Then may I ask Master, what is the bottom line of your speculation about the Han people?"

"According to the teacher's estimate, the other party is likely to ask for the five continents of Youyun, originally there were sixteen states in the land of Youyun of the Han people, and five states were forcibly occupied by us because of weakness in the past hundred years. Although this matter is not a shame for all Han people, it is a land that some people absolutely want to recapture, so these five states are likely to be their bottom line. ”

"Someone? Who are some of the people that the Master is talking about? ”

"Hehe, our master and apprentice are Turkic high-level, and they are in charge of the changes in the world's forces, so Cao'er, you don't have to pretend to be curious, you should know that I am talking about Gu Tianya. I've noticed this young man since a year ago. He married Princess Pingyang of the Li royal family, but he did not compete for interests like other relatives, but developed steadily, and his goal has been expanding to other places, from which it can be inferred that he does not want to get benefits from the Tang royal family, but seems to want to start from scratch and get some place to live his own small life. ”

"Small day? Master, what do you mean by a small day? Cao'er blinked, obviously unconvinced.

The high priest laughed and said, "Okay, okay, the teacher made a mistake. His handwriting really doesn't look like he wants to live a small life, but has a kind of heroic posture of the Han people who open up their territory. It's only been a little over a year, and he already has two states under his hands, and if he gets the Youyun Five Continents again this time, it will be much better than the former Liang State. This is tantamount to saying that another figure has risen in the world. ”

Cao'er blinked again, and suddenly said, "Then the disciple will grit his teeth, and life or death will not satisfy him." Doesn't his bottom line want the five continents of the clouds? I didn't agree to his request, and there was a kind of him who broke up with me, and held on to Jieli Khan to try it. Although Jieli is not a good khan, he is the khan of all Turkic people after all, and it involves the face of the entire grassland, and the Han people will never dare to let Gu Tianya stubbornly suppress Jieli. ”

"Maybe!" The high priest was noncommittal, as if he was unwilling to dispel the spirit of the disciple, he just smiled leisurely and said in a profound voice: "The Han people are smart and good at trickery, and you should not be too confident in Cao'er, lest you pick up a stone and shoot yourself in the foot......"

It's a pity that Cao'er looked resolute, and said from afar: "Youyun Wuzhou has a large amount of land, which can help us provide some food, these places have been occupied by the Turks for a hundred years, and I can't let the Han people ask for it back in vain." ”

The high priest sighed and stopped arguing with the disciples about the issue.

She picked up the tea bowl for the third time and brewed some hot water with the kettle herself.

Between the smell of tea, the fragrance in the room was faint, and the high priest suddenly said: "The last thing to negotiate is probably Hannu." This time, Jieli Khan fell into the Tang Dynasty's plan, and more than 70,000 cavalrymen were killed and wounded in the first battle. Cavalry doesn't matter, any of our Turkic herdsmen can become cavalry. The key is the more than 40,000 bullocks captured by the Han Chinese, and the more than 50,000 Turkic captives they held on the Yunzhou side. These people are our people, and we will never give up until we have to......"

Cao'er's pretty face became serious, and she said solemnly: "Master rest assured, the disciple promises to ask the people back." ”

The high priest smiled bitterly, as if muttering to himself, "How can it be so easy, this will have to pay a huge price." The Han people pay attention to family affection in their bones, so they have a natural sadness for the suffering of their compatriots. However, for more than 100 years, we Turks have been plundering the Han people, and every time we invade the south, we have to capture countless people, and after being made into slaves, we are the Han slaves who are responsible for helping us create wealth. ”

She paused as she spoke, looked at her apprentice with serious eyes, and said, "Cao'er, you are not in charge of the sacrificial ancient temple yet, so you don't know much about the specific affairs on the grassland...... Do you know how many Hannu there are on the grassland? Do you know how many Han Chinese were plundered by us? Let the teacher tell you that there must be at least 500,000, and this is still only counting the sturdy Han slaves, not counting those who are dying and waiting to die. ”

"If you count those old people, I'm afraid the figure of 800,000 can't be stopped. Cao'er, you have already begun to learn Han culture, and you must be able to understand the blood in the bones of the Han people. The Turks have captured 800,000 of their compatriots, and these 800,000 Han slaves are the deep hatred of all Han people, especially the little guy of the Gu family, maybe he has the same personality as his father......

The high priest suddenly stopped his mouth, apparently aware of the gaffe.

And Cao'er was obviously stunned, and subconsciously said, "That little guy of the Gu family? Same character as his father? What does that mean? Master, are you talking about Gu Tianya? ”

It's a pity that the high priest refused to continue this topic, but slowly spit out a white gas from his mouth, and said with a solemn face: "This negotiation between the two countries is actually a negotiation between the two great nations, because they are world enemies of each other, and they have been stained with each other's blood for more than a thousand years, so they don't trust each other, and no one is willing to send a large number of officials into the enemy's territory, because it will be easy to be all detained, so that the detainees' side will gain more negotiating advantages." ”

"So you'll choose a middle ground as a place for negotiation, right?" Cao'er is worthy of being the heiress of the saint, and she is really smart and shrewd.

The high priest looked at her with great satisfaction, nodded and said: "After the exchange of credentials between me and the Han emperor, the two sides agreed to negotiate in a city on the border, and the location you should know is the Yanmen Pass that you must pass through every time you want to go to the Central Plains. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It is an important border town of the Han people, and it is also the biggest obstacle for our Turks to go south. The two sides are separated by a Yanmen Pass, and at least a few million people have died over the centuries. This time, the location of the negotiation was set there, and both the Han and Turkic people could rest assured, because each other was close to their own territory, and if there was a problem, they could send a large army to come in an instant, and in such a situation, the atmosphere of the negotiation would be relatively calm. ”

Cao'er nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Because each side has a large army to suppress the territory, so they will not rely on the army to play tricks during the negotiation, this place is indeed a good choice, and the apprentice happens to see and understand in the Yanmen Pass." ”

The holy high priestess looked at her again, as if she had something to say but it was not convenient to say it clearly, after hesitating for a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said solemnly: "You have lived in the ancient temple of sacrifice since you were a child, and you have learned the martial arts of the Turks with me, and now your martial arts are extremely high, so in recent years, you often think very highly of yourself. Once people are proud and complacent, they are easy to bully others, but as a teacher, I have to tell you, you must not rely on martial arts and Han people, the other party has a Taoist door that has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are countless characters hidden in the recklessness. If you negotiate with them according to the rules, they Han people themselves will definitely not want to break the rules, but if you rely on martial arts to play tricks, it is easy to encounter Han masters. ”

Cao'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, looking at the ease on her pretty face, it was obvious that she didn't take this advice to heart.

What a figure the Holy High Priestess was, how could she not see the thoughts of the little apprentice, so her face became even more solemn, and she scolded in a deep voice for the first time: "Remember, the Han people also have protectors. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Central Plains, reckless is a hero. If you are beaten to death, will you not be raised for sixteen years in vain as a teacher? ”

Seeing that she was angry, Cao'er immediately put her pretty face away, and then she became solemn and respectfully agreed: "Master, don't worry, don't mess around." ”

only said that she would not mess around, but she did not make a move, this girl was obviously playing tricks, but unfortunately the holy high priestess did not notice it for a while.

It was already twilight, and the sky on the prairie was getting dark very quickly. The Holy High Priestess didn't know why, she suddenly looked at the night outside in a daze, and after a long time, she said softly, "If you can see the little ... If you can meet that Gu Tianya, help the teacher see what he looks like? It's best to have the artist draw a portrait and bring it back to the teacher to see. ”

Cao'er's face was full of curiosity, and she always felt that Shizun seemed to have something hidden in her heart.

It's a pity that the Holy High Priestess was only impulsive, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to that unfathomable expression, she looked at Cao'er again, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, the officials of the Turkic Khan Tent will arrive at the ancient temple, and there are even the ten major tribes of the grassland, as well as more than a hundred medium-sized tribes, they will all send nobles to participate in this Tang negotiation, and you, as one of the main envoys of this negotiation, must advance and retreat together with the heir of Jieli." Remember, beware of the Han Chinese negotiation skills. ”

Cao'er's pretty face was serious, and she said solemnly: "I promise not to lose my national prestige." ”

The Holy High Priestess slowly exhaled a breath and said, "After gathering tomorrow, we will leave immediately, and I will not send you as a teacher, waiting for you to bring back the good news at Yanmen Pass." ”

Cao'er's pretty face became more serious, and said: "On the fifteenth day at the latest, everything must be negotiated." Master can rest assured that we Turks are still the number one force in the world. No matter how good the Han people are at sophistry, they still have to bow their heads and talk to us......"

……
