Chapter 639: Negotiation
Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui led the Flying Tiger Army to the border line, met the commander of the Iron Guard, Gasif, and immediately arranged for the Flying Tiger Army to rest.
The Flying Tigers were so tired that the soldiers fell asleep as soon as they got off their horses.
Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui endured their exhaustion and asked Gasif about the situation.
Zhang Guigui first asked, "Have you ever seen an officer from the Kabul Governor's Palace?" ”
"I didn't see anyone but our Iron Guards. What's going on? ”
Zhang Guigui told him about the defection of the Kabul city gate officials.
"I really haven't received any reports of this," Ghasif affirmed. ”
Xue Rengui asked Gasif about the big cannibal opposite.
"The big cannibals just set up their rangers on the opposite side, and there was no big army. ”
Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui put their minds at ease and also fell asleep.
Gasif asked his men to prepare meals for the Flying Tigers and wait for them to wake up and eat.
Zhang Guigui fell asleep, and suddenly dreamed, he seemed to see someone shouting at him.
"General Zhang, wake up, wake up!"
It turned out that it was not a dream, Zhang Guigui was woken up. He was dizzy and nauseous, and almost threw up.
Gasif said eagerly: "General Zhang, the report of the rangers I sent out just now said that someone had crossed the border and was wearing a Persian military uniform, and the distance was too far to catch up with him. ”
Zhang Guigui "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How long has it been?" ”
"About an hour ago." Gasif said.
At this time, Xue Rengui was also awakened, and he said, "Oops, the prince is in danger." ”
Zhang Guigui said eagerly: "How is this good? ”
Xue Rengui thought about it calmly and said decisively: "Let's immediately send troops to meet the prince." ”
Gasif said worriedly: "Will this cause a misunderstanding of the big cannibal?" ”
Xue Rengui said: "If something happens to the prince, then we must go to the rescue, and if we start a war, we will go to war." If nothing happens to the prince, the big cannibals will not easily start a war with us. So we're going to go anyway.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, you can send an interpreter to open the way in front. ”
Zhang Guigui said: "Okay, just do it." The order was given, and the whole army was opened. ”
Gasif asked, "Do you want us to go with you?" ”
Xue Rengui said: "No need, it's easy to cause misunderstanding when you go." You're still here and take care of it. ”
"Dudutu", a terrible horn sound, woke up the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, not a drop of water, they were extremely tired and no one made a sound, and quickly assembled.
Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui took the lead, and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army followed closely behind, galloping away on horseback.
The tenacious quality of the Flying Tiger Army amazed Garsif and others.
Gegemu City, General's Palace.
Still in that banquet hall, Li You, accompanied by Baihu and Tongyi, met with Adnan, Pei Dilan, Azimu and others.
Before the talks, Li You said to Adnan: "Your Excellency, those wounded of our army, I am ready to send them back in advance, is it okay?" ”
Adnan said, "Yes. ”
After speaking, he said to the captain of his guard: "You tell me not to stop the Tang army's team transporting the wounded." ”
"Yes, Lord Governor." The captain of the guard went down to give the order.
Li You said, "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
Li You first came up with an agreement that had already been drawn up, which included mutually beneficial terms such as maintaining the original border between the Persian province of Angot and the state of Turro, mutual non-aggression, and trade.
Because the big cannibal was not authorized by Damascus, he was not prepared for what to talk about, and he seemed very passive for a while.
Seeing Adnan and Pei Dilan's embarrassment, Adnan's lieutenant general took the lead, and he said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, my Great Food Army has gathered hundreds of thousands of people here, and I want to attack Persia through Kabul, and I also ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to take advantage of the passage and let my army pass." ”
White Tiger said: "This general, don't you think it's unreasonable to do this? ”
Adnan said politely: "His Royal Highness King Qi, to tell you the truth, our army had already formulated a battle plan a few months ago, marched to Kabul after capturing the Turro country, and attacked the hinterland of Persia with our southern expeditionary army. ”
Adnan didn't reveal their battle plan to Li You, and the current strategic situation was clear.
He continued: "The sudden appearance of your Tang army blocked the way of our army's advance, which made me very difficult, and my hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered here, and without passing through Kabul, it was impossible to realize the plan of our army. I, the little commander of the Crusade, could not give an account to our great caliph. ”
Li You nodded and said, "General Adnan has a point. However, it is impossible to borrow the Tao, which involves a matter of sovereignty, and it is not something that a small prince can call the shots.
This matter is non-negotiable. ”
The lieutenant general said dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, could it be that the battle plan of my Great Food Empire cannot be changed because of you Tang Dynasty people?" ”
Li You said: "It's not that I want to embarrass you about this matter, it's just the case, I must safeguard the interests of the Tang Empire." ”
Another lieutenant general deliberately said according to the negotiation plan studied in advance: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, our army has already gathered hundreds of thousands of troops here, if you force it through, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it!" ”
Baihu also said without showing weakness: "This general, you might as well try it, my powerful Tang Emperor ** team is not vegetarian!"
The lieutenant stood up, waved his fist and said, "Try it, I'm afraid that the warriors of the Great Food Empire won't make it!"
Not to be outdone, the white tiger also stood up. He thrust his waist and said, "I'm afraid you won't dare to come!" To be honest, his heart is really hairy. But he knew that this was not the time to show weakness, and he had to grit his teeth and hold on.
Li You pretended to reprimand the white tiger: "If you sit down for me, can't you talk well?" ”
Adnan also said to his subordinates: "His Royal Highness King Qi is right, you can also sit down." ”
He said to Li You: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, I am really embarrassed, I am a front-line commander, and I must faithfully implement the battle plan formulated by Damascus, and your Tang army has blocked the way of our army's advance." I really can't explain this to Damascus. ”
Li You nodded and said, "Your Excellency, I understand your situation very well, just as I understand my own current situation.
I have two suggestions, the first one, I have checked the map, you can attack Persia directly to the west, or you can send someone to ask your superiors for instructions. ”
Adnan said, "Your Royal Highness King Qi, what you said is not right. Our army went directly to the west, and wanted to cross the Kordoa Golden Mountain, and the hundreds of thousands of troops, together with the baggage, were impassable.
I sent someone to Damascus for instructions, and it took a long time to go back and forth. Hundreds of thousands of troops are stranded here, and they need to consume a lot of supplies, which our army cannot bear.
I hope that Your Highness will allow our troops to pass through Kabul, and I can assure Your Highness that our troops will never destroy a single plant or tree in Kabul. ”
Li You shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I will definitely not be able to compromise on the issue of principle. ”
Pei Dilan finally spoke, and he said, "Your Royal Highness King Qi, you can't be unreasonable. In this case, I am afraid that our army will have to force its way through Kabul. ”
Li You said: "I have already said that there can be no concession on the issue of principle. If your army insists on this, the army of our Tang Empire will only fight to the death with your army, and will never let your army set foot on the territory of my Tang Empire!"
The previous lieutenant jumped up again and shouted: "I don't believe it, my heroic Great Food Emperor ** team can't beat a small Kabul!" ”
The white tiger immediately jumped up, glared and said, "I don't believe it either, my dignified Tang Empire million heroes, am you still afraid of you?!"
This time, Li You didn't stop the white tiger, and he shouted arrogantly.
The two sides were tense, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this moment, there was a shouting outside, and it was Hao Junjie.
Li You looked at Adnan quietly.
Adnan frowned and said, "Let him in." ”
After Hao Junjie came in, he said angrily: "Lord Wang, our team transporting the wounded was intercepted by them and was not allowed to leave the city." ”
Li You remained silent and looked at Adnan with a smile.
