Chapter 404: Saibei Pingfu

The matter of requesting surrender on behalf of the country was finally decided, and after Xu Qian received a reply, he immediately set off to return to Saibei to reply to Shi Yiqian. After all, the stakes are high, and even if Shi Yiqian gave him full authority at the beginning, now he doesn't dare to make his own decisions. And not long after Xu Qian left, Li Xin also immediately sent people to Shuofang. secretly ordered Li Erhei and Sun Tie to raise their vigilance, in case Shi Yiqian might simply break the net because the conditions were not rich enough.

At the same time, he also ordered Peng Lin and Yu Song, who had already returned to Shuofang to recuperate, to prepare to go out again to deal a blow to Shi Yiqian, thus forcing him to agree to this condition.

Xu Qian, who was in the dust, returned to Daiguo, and after seeing Shi Yiqian, he told all the conditions that Li Xin told him.

In addition to Shi Yiqian, there were also many generations of nobles and ministers and generals of the country, and when they heard these conditions, they immediately became fried.

"With such conditions, it is clear that they are deceiving me and no one on behalf of the country, and we must not agree to them!"

"Yes, since Li Xin is so rude, let's just go south with our army and fight them to the death!"

"Even if you can't beat them, you will definitely not let the Tang Army have a good time!"

"Hmph, we can't beat it, can't we run away? In my opinion, we might as well move to Mobei, in this case, it is impossible for the Tang army to chase after us, right? ”

"Yes, yes, we can't beat them, we can't fight them at all!"

.......

Everyone was angry and discussed! Among the people present, only a few people such as Xu Qian and Shi Yiqian did not speak, but the expression on Shi Yiqian's face was very ugly.

"Enough, what does it look like to be noisy? Shut up to this king! After a while, Shi Yiqian seemed to be unable to hold back, kicked the dwarf in front of him and flew out, and said angrily.

His scolding made the people in the tent stunned for a moment, and finally became honest.

"My lord, I'm afraid you have to make up your own mind about this matter! In any case, we have to decide as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it is delayed for too long, Datang will inevitably think that we are not sincere and have no intention of surrendering, and I am afraid that it will be too late for us to say anything! Xu Qian reminded on the side.

Shi Yiqian didn't know this truth, but it was already very difficult for him to give up his throne and become someone else's courtier. And after that, the country will be turned into a state, and the Tang Dynasty will send officials to take charge of this place, doesn't it mean that he will be hollowed out!

When he thought that in the future, on this grassland, what he said would no longer be as good as it is now, and no one would listen to him, he couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart. But the reality is in front of him, and he can't just leave it, after all, he is not alone!

Especially when he had been hostage in Later Zhao for many years, he also understood the situation of the Central Plains Dynasty. Once the peace talks really break down, what they will face will inevitably be the ensuing storm, and the army of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably kill around them soon.

In fact, when you think about it, it seems that the result is still the same in the end. Therefore, after thinking about it, Shi Yiqian's grievances finally calmed down a bit.

"Now, the domestic situation is erosive, and the Gaoche, Rouran and other tribes are constantly rebelling, killing my people, plundering my cattle, sheep and horses, and we have suffered heavy losses for more than a year. Not to mention that the Tang army came and went like the wind, fighting in all directions in the territory of the Dai country, and the threat was great. How many soldiers do we have now, and how many victories are assured, I think everyone has a number in their hearts! With today's strength, if you want to start a war with Datang, it is tantamount to asking for your own death! After a long time, Shi Yiqian glanced at everyone, and then said slowly.

"Even so, what are we afraid of? It's a big deal to fight to the death, fight with the Tang Army! Someone shouted.

"Hmph, that's easy to talk about! Why don't you see you so brave when you are fighting? How many battles have we fought with the Tang Army, how many of us died at their hands? How many of them died at our hands? Won't you all compare? Even if we want to fight, we have to be willing! We're going to die, I'm afraid it's too late for people to be happy! Besides, we're all dead, what about our families? What about the child? What about women and children? They will have to be occupied by other tribes, slaves and slaves, and life is worse than death! Do you want your wives and children to be like that? Hearing this, Shi Yiqian couldn't help but snort coldly and reprimanded.

Everyone in the tent was still very excited, and they all seemed to run over immediately to fight the Tang army. But after hearing these words at this time, they couldn't help but show shame on their faces, and they all became honest.

In the final analysis, whether they fight or not, after all, it's not all for themselves and their families! If they find that the outcome of the war is even worse, they will naturally consider the benefits of not going to war.

"Think about it! Where there is life, there is hope! As long as we get through the current difficulties first, everything is possible in the future! Seeing that they were no longer quarrelsome, Shiyigan comforted him.

At this point, everyone has nothing to say. After all, General Shi Yiqian has said everything about this, and if anyone still insists on going his own way and wants to fight the Tang Army, I am afraid that they will be disposed of. No one wants to be the first bird, so everyone stays honest.

"King, then this matter has been decided, and the lower officials will immediately reply to King Tang and settle this matter first!" Xu Qian said at this time.

"Go ahead! However, it would be better if it could be a little more relaxed! It doesn't matter if there are state counties, it's mainly a matter of these officials! Shi Yiqian nodded, and then whispered again.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit tricky! After all, at this time, we really don't have the capital to negotiate with it! Hearing this, Xu Qian was embarrassed.

"That's it, you go and reply to King Tang!" Shi Yiqian said helplessly.

At the beginning of February, Li Xin waited for Shi Yiqian's reply, and the matter of representing the country was decided. Two days later, Datang officially announced the matter to the world.

As soon as the news came out, the happiest people were naturally the people of Datang. Especially the people who live in Shuofang and Bingzhou near the Yinshan area, after all, after the subjugation of Saibei, it means that they no longer have to worry about the threat of the country.

With that comes a sense of honor and pride. After all, the Saibei Daiguo is now subjugated to the Tang Dynasty, and the Daiguo has become Daizhou, which is definitely a big event, and it is worth talking about by many people for many years!

As a common man of the Tang Dynasty, especially those Tang people who are businessmen, after going out at this time, they all feel that their faces are bright, and their waists are much straighter. After all, he comes from a strong country, and he naturally can't look down on those other people.

Of course, some people may feel that there is nothing, and they will even criticize Li Xin for not paying attention to kindness and righteousness, and only knowing iron-fisted methods. These people have either been kneeling for a long time and can't stand up, or they are just some rotten Confucians who have read dead books and can only talk about etiquette.

And for Yan Guo, this is obviously very bad news. After all, without Daiguo's containment of the Tang Dynasty, he would have to face the pressure from the Tang army from the north and west alone.

Therefore, as soon as he got the news, Murong Ke immediately ordered the border land to strengthen its precautions. Moreover, he also deliberately transferred Murong Chui, who was originally guarding against Jiangzuo south of the Yellow River, to Fanyangguo to replace Murong Ping, and was responsible for guarding against the Tang army in Yanmen, Daijun, and Shanggu.

From this point of view, it is enough to see that he has put most of his energy on Datang. transferred his opponent from the previous Jiang Zuo to Datang's body.

However, after getting the news, Li Xin just laughed at it and did not take too many measures.

And Huan Wen, who was in Jiangling, heard the news of Daiguo's surrender, and his face was naturally even more gloomy. After all, this is something he has never done, to make a country surrender on its own initiative. Although it is said that he once destroyed the Cheng Han forces in Shu, the situation is different.

Seeing that Datang had expanded its territory again and became stronger, the scale in his heart was slowly tilting.

Soon after the official edict was issued to the world, Shi Yiqian led a group of civil and military ministers to Chang'an to meet Li Xin. After all, now that he is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is the first time to serve according to etiquette, especially if he is a feudal official, he must first meet Li Xin.

In general, as long as the official department has asked Li Xin for approval and the appointment, the appointment will be issued in the name of the official department. Of course, if it is an important official such as the prefectural commander and the Taishou, he will be summoned by Li Xin once before going to the local office.

After all, although the county order only has seven grades, if it is placed in ancient times, it is also at the level of a hundred miles!

In today's Tang system, in addition to this Daizhou Assassin History, there are actually no other assassin officials. Basically, the biggest in the area is Taishou.

This is mainly because Li Xin felt that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was not big enough, so in normal times, as the king of Tang, he concurrently served as the assassin of Yong, Qin, Bing, Si, Shuofang, Liangzhou and other states.

Although this is a bit strange, because it does not affect the administration, no one has proposed improvements. For example, if Liangzhou is on the other side, in fact, King Liang also serves as the assassin of Liangzhou, which is not strange.

In front of the ministers, Li Xin personally awarded the Shiyi Qianguan with the seal letter, and also specially hosted a banquet to entertain their group. This is the first time for such a specification, and of course, it may also be the last.

After all, it is unlikely that a history-level official will want such treatment in the future.

After the official award, Li Xin deliberately left Shi Yiqian to stay in Chang'an for a few more days. Because he also had to prepare the officials to be appointed, those people would go north with Shi Yiqian, and they would go out together after they had joined Yu Song and the 10,000-strong army in Shuofang.
