Chapter 47: Advance Promise
Pei Min didn't speak loudly, he was arrogant. Instead www.biquge.info he chuckled and said in a soft voice, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
But it is this kind of light-heartedness, which is more arrogant and domineering, and the determination to take it.
Long Langchi and Ai Xuete couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, and a tragic scene seemed to appear in their minds, corpses were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed like a river! The Tang army stepped on the corpses of the Tubo soldiers and recovered the territory that belonged to them!
Long Langchi even had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, feeling that it was the best choice to agree to Datang's request.
Li Longji was originally annoyed by Long Langchi's shamelessness, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but listening to Pei Min's straightforward response, Su Chang was inexplicable in his heart, and even couldn't help thinking: Why can't I say such majestic words?
Thinking of this, Li Longji also said: "I don't give up an inch of land in the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" Even if you use means to eat it in your stomach, my Datang will take it back by breaking your belly, and you will have to take some interest. ”
Pei Min's words are arrogant, but Li Longji's words are the truth.
As an emperor, he represents the Tang Dynasty.
The kings of the Tang Dynasty all said so, and Long Langchi also knew that the Tang Dynasty was bound to recapture the Jiuqu Land in Hexi, and if he continued to talk about it, he had no intention, so he sighed helplessly: "Even if this is the case, then the foreign minister will leave." After returning to Tibet, he must inform Zampu of His Majesty's request, and Zampu will make the final decision on how to choose. ”
"Waiting for good news!" Li Longji said generously.
Pei Min interjected at this time: "If the envoy wants to leave, there is no need to rush for a while. It's not too late to go after attending the celebration. ”
Long Lang was surprised: "Midyear Festival? That won't be that long! ”
The culture of the Tang Dynasty influences the world, even if many countries refuse to admit it, it cannot change the facts.
The three major festivals of the Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival, and the Xiayuan Festival, not only the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to it, but also the affected Tubo.
Except for the Zhongyuan Festival more than a month later, Long Langchi couldn't think of any other celebrations worth saying about Pei Min.
"No, it's tomorrow!" Pei Min said casually: "It's a prisoner sacrifice celebration!" ”
“……”
For a moment, Long Langchi had an urge to hit someone, which was too bullying. Let him be a Tibetan envoy and participate in the celebration of the sacrifice of prisoners in Tibet? He can't afford to be ashamed!
However, Pei Min's words reminded Long Langchi of what he was doing.
Originally, they planned to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and ask for forgiveness from the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty agrees to sue for peace, the return of the captives is not a problem, and the wishful thinking is a jingle sound.
Ancient manpower was priceless, especially in the present Tibet.
In recent years, several major wars launched by Tibet have ended in failure, and instead of making a little profit by plundering, they have also lost a lot. War horses, cattle and sheep, heavy losses, and fiscal deficits, needless to say.
The morale of the people in Tibet was also greatly affected, and the people were panicked, which hurt the national body, which was one of the reasons why they decided to sue for peace.
Nearly 30,000 captives, still brave soldiers, begged to be returned, which could make up for the losses they suffered to the greatest extent.
It's just that the toughness of Datang's attitude was something they didn't expect.
"I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor treats our warriors?" Long Lang said reverently.
Li Longji said: "Your envoy can rest assured, my Tang Dynasty is not as arrogant as you Tubo, and treat them as animals. Nowadays, there are many places where labor can be used in the Tang Dynasty, and I will transfer them to the south of the Yangtze River to maintain the canal and dredge the silt. Sell coolies for my Datang to atone for my sins. Twenty years later, they will be free. ”
The highest level of doing business is not to let your opponent know that you are trying to deal with them.
Li Longji, as the emperor, does not understand the key to this.
Pei Min knew very well, and talked to Li Longji in advance, asking him not to reveal the intention of the transaction in advance.
Long Langchi was speechless again when he heard it, twenty years later, after living in the Tang Dynasty for twenty years, even if he didn't change his mind and didn't die, what else could he do when he returned to Tubo?
"Where's the old general Kundayan!" Long Langchi asked again.
Li Longji said without hesitation: "Naturally, it's the same, as one of the culprits." His sin was even more serious, and he would not be able to return to Tibet without forty years. ”
Kundayan is sixty-one years old this year, and after 40 years, he will be 100 years old. As a veteran of a hundred battles who has been in the army for nearly 50 years, he has been injured countless times, and his life span has been greatly reduced, how can he live to be 100 years old?
Long Langchi said to Li Longji deeply: "The old general is old, and I hope that His Majesty the Merciful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can forgive him." We are willing to offer three horses, 500 military horses, and 3,000 cattle and sheep to show our gratitude. ”
Li Longji shook his head and said: "General Ku Dayan has been an enemy of my Tang Dynasty for thirty years since fifty years. There can be no forgiveness, but as for others, it is deliberative. ”
Long Langchi knew what he meant, and said goodbye and left. He can't be the master of this in-depth transaction, and he needs to send someone back to Tubo to discuss with Zampu before he can make a conclusion.
"Happy, happy!" Li Longji said with his eyebrows fluttering after Long Langchi walked away, it had been a long time since he had seen the Tubo people speak in such a low voice.
Pei Min took the opportunity to admonish: "As long as Your Majesty has been working hard, the main thing is to govern the world." I believe that ten or twenty years later, not only Tubo will be so low-voiced, but even the western whisks and big food countries will bow at your feet. When the time comes, His Majesty will give an order, and all the nations will come to congratulate him, what a majesty it is. ”
Li Longji was even more happy when he heard it, and his eyes showed a yearning look, as if he was also looking forward to the arrival of that day.
Halfway through, Li Longji came back to his senses and said, "If there really is that day, I and Jingyuan will share the glory." As he spoke, he laughed and said, "What Jingyuan said today is really majestic!" It's just that we leaked our intentions of plotting Jiuqudi in Hexi early, and they will definitely take strict precautions, and it is not easy to start. ”
Pei Min smiled weirdly and said, "The minister is playing a trick on them!" The purpose is to make them think that our next move is Jiuqudi in Hexi, so as to neglect the precautions in a certain place! ”
Li Longji didn't know much about military affairs, but he couldn't be clearer about where his vest thorns were, grinned, pointed at Pei Min and said: "I can't prevent it, I am fortunate that Jingyuan was born in Datang to serve me." Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep and eat! ”
Pei Min said humbly: "Your Majesty has won the award, but the minister only expressed his intention to take the Jiuqu land in Hexi, and never said when to take it." They think so if they think so, but it has nothing to do with the ministers. ”
Li Longji suddenly looked at Pei Min with a solemn face and said, "I will promise you a benefit first!" If you can really recover the Jiuqu Land in Hexi for the Tang Dynasty, I will crown you as the envoy of the festival. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Min was overjoyed in his heart, and Jiedu made him a real feudal official, commanding the deployment of soldiers and horses in several states.
It can be said that the festival envoy is the highest honor of a military general.
Pei Min was sent out to be an official, partly because he went to the festival, but he didn't want that male position to be only one "Hedong Jiuqudi" from him!
