Chapter 332: Killing

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Huaitang had been in Bahuan City for more than a month, and he had a lot of side jobs, and the "main business" was finally about to open.

On the day of the negotiations, thousands of Anxi soldiers were like facing a great enemy, covering the inside and outside of the mansion.

The two protagonists who were invited to the scene met unexpectedly outside the big 'gate' of the Metropolitan Mansion, and the atmosphere was very tense, no hypocrisy, no hypocrisy, and no greetings, except for cold eyes, only hatred.

"The negotiators are only allowed to bring two guards, and the rest are waiting here!" Standing in the way of the big 'gate' was a tall soldier of the Anxi Army, and Li Huaitang recognized it as Li Siye.

"I'm sorry, but no weapons are allowed inside!"

In view of the deep contradictions between the Tuqi Shi people and Li Huaitang, Zhao Hanzhang not only limited the number of guards, but also did not allow any of them to enter the field with weapons.

Li Huaitang generously 'handed over' the weapon to Li Siye, turned his head to look at Kenta and Que Yinanru, sneered, and stepped into the Duhu Mansion with tiger steps, followed by six monkeys, crows, and hungry wolves.

"No, they've got an extra dog!" Kenta pointed to the hungry wolf and protested to Li Siye.

Li Siye's face was expressionless, and he said: "Zhao envoy Jun's order, dogs are not prohibited. ”

Hearing this, Li Huaitang stopped and turned around: "What the envoy means is that dogs and turkey people can enter!" Ha ha! ”

"Haha!" The six monkeys that followed laughed uncontrollably with the crows. The soldiers of the Anxi Army who heard Li Huaitang's evil words all laughed.

"Too much deception!" Kenta was furious, if it weren't for Que Yi to stop him, he would have rushed to Li Huaitang, as for whether to beat people or be beaten, Que Yi who stopped him was like a mirror.

Following the sergeant who led the way, Li Huaitang walked through the vestibule, through the middle 'gate', through the small 'flower' garden, and stepped on several steps before coming to the No. 1 Middle Army of the Anxi Army, from where the general orders issued by the Anxi Army were issued.

As a mediator, three Tang bigwig-level figures sat in the center, and there were several desks on either side of their hands. Li Huaitang was not polite, and sat aside after greeting him. It didn't take long for the Turgish people to come and sit opposite Li Huaitang.

The three bigwigs took turns to read the scriptures, as usual, they first sang praises to the wise Tang Emperor, and then conveyed the Tang Emperor's concern for both sides, as well as expressed their grief for the devastation caused by the war, and finally hoped that they would shake hands and make due contributions to world peace.

"The will of the Heavenly Khan, we Sulu Khan should obey it. This is the sincerity of our Sulu Khan, as long as they agree to accept it, we will immediately put our scimitars into the sheath and stop the hooves of our horses! ”

On behalf of Kenta, Turgish handed Wu Xin a roll of sheepskin, sneering and glancing at Li Huaitang.

The sheepskin turned around in the hands of the three big guys, and in addition to Wu Xin's expressionless expression when he already knew the content, Zhao Hanzhang and Qi Jishan's brows were wrinkled.

"Compensate for the losses, cede the city, and return the 'female' slaves. Haha, haha! Li Huaitang took the sheepskin handed to him by Qi Jishan and laughed wildly, as if he had been hit by the 'hole'.

The sheepskin lists the number of horses, cattle and sheep to be compensated, and the amount of grain, all of which are astronomical, and Li Huaitang also wants to cede half of Ningyuan City to the Tuqi Shi people, and finally named Ye Ji to be returned, it is estimated that this article was added last.

"Bring a pen and ink!" Li Huaitang restrained his smile, to everyone's surprise, he seemed to want to sign the sheepskin.

The six monkeys said anxiously: "General! ”

"I've got my own measure!" Li Huaitang stretched out his hand and took the pen and ground ink sent by the soldiers of the Anxi Army.

The three Tang bigwigs stood beside Li Huaitang curiously to see what he was going to do.

With a few strokes, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, a black 'colored', not very beautiful, but the powerful word "war" covered the sheepskin of the Tuqi Shi people.

After finishing the words, Li Huaitang picked it up with satisfaction, and blew a few more breaths, for fear that the ink that had not dried would destroy the artistic conception.

"This is my attitude, take it back to your Sulu Khan to see. I am waiting for him in Ningyuan City, if he doesn't dare to come, I should go and hunt with him on the bank of the Chu River again! ”

Li Huaitang handed the sheepskin to the six monkeys and asked him to send it to Kenta.

The Turgish people were not angry, and Que Yi's eyes only glanced at the sheepskin, and then he smiled: "If the general is not satisfied with our conditions, we can still negotiate, and the number of horses, cattle and sheep can be appropriately reduced." ”

"If you want peace, the only condition is that the Turgish retreat to the north of the Chu River." Li Huaitang's sonorous voice was loud.

Kenta jumped up, and the anger of the past few days exploded: "If you want to die, we will fulfill you, and we will never give up until we step on your kennel." "After that, he 'wanted' to leave.

Although the three bosses of Datang tried their best to maintain the atmosphere of the negotiations, they still could not prevent the breakdown of the first round of negotiations, and in terms of duration, it was even shorter than the time it took them to get from the big 'gate' of the mansion to the meeting place.

For several days in a row, the two sides were very hostile to Mai Mang, and they did not give in to each other, resulting in an impasse in the negotiations. There was no progress in the negotiations, but it did not affect the mood of the Turgish people in the slightest. At the residence of the Turgish people, Kenta and Moto raised a glass to welcome the visiting Qin Jiegao.

"The secretary wants us to lower the conditions? No, absolutely not! Kenta stiffly rejected Qin Jiegao's suggestion.

Murto gritted his teeth and said, "This man is my sworn enemy of the Turgeon, and he will not die, how can I accommodate him?" Is the secretary on our side or is he helping him? ”

Qin Jie said with a smile: "If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to you, but it will be beneficial to Ningyuan City, and they will have more time to improve it in one more day." Haven't you noticed? These days, that Li Huaitang is digging people to buy equipment in my Datang every day, but I am afraid that in a few months, even if you unite with the Tubo people to eat people, it will be difficult to gnaw the solid Ningyuan City. ”

The Tuqi Shi people were taken aback, uniting the Tubo people and the Great Cannibal was their secret, and I don't know how this Qin Jiegao knew about it.

"Surprised, isn't it? Your Sulu Khan's actions have long been learned of by your opponent Li Huaitang, and he deliberately 'exposed' to our secretary and supervisor. Qin Jiegao's smile was very disdainful, "Let me tell you again, there is news that Zhao Zhijun has received a secret letter from the Holy Lord, and he is about to send a batch of weapons and equipment to Li Huaitang." ”

"Huh?" Kenta was shocked and leaked: "This, this, no, impossible!" Thou shalt not accuse us. ”

Murto was equally shocked and echoed: "If the Heavenly Khan supports Ning Yuan City, then why do you let the secretary and supervisor come here?" What else are we going to negotiate for? ”

Qin Jiegao said: "In the past few decades, the power of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions has almost disappeared, and now it only relies on your Tuqi people to exert influence. It's a pity that your strength has expanded too fast over the years, and your family is dominant, if there is a force that can counter you at this time, and they are willing to accept the will of the Tang Dynasty, do you say, will the emperor give up this rare opportunity to balance the Western Regions? It is the emperor's wisdom to temporarily arrange for the secretary to come here, in order to prevent you from venting your emotions on Datang and continue to serve Datang. ”

"To be honest with you, that Qi 'squire' Lang has already handed the emperor a fold, I think, how to balance the forces between you, the fold should be written in detail and clearly. Negotiations, there is always negotiation, but you are destined to fight back and forth, and Datang will not let any of you fall anyway, the best result is that you will always fight each other, and you will be enemies for generations. ”

Of course, Qin Jiegao couldn't know so much, most of these were told to him by Wu Xin.

Kenta was speechless, bowing his head and silently digesting the shock that Qin Jiegao had brought him.

"However, our Sulu Khan's Kedun is the princess of the Tang Dynasty's 'Jiao' River? Sulu Khan is still the adopted son of the Heavenly Khan, how could the Heavenly Khan treat us like this? Kenta still didn't give up.

Qin Jie said with a smile: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, for the sake of Li Tang Jiangshan, there is nothing that cannot be treated badly, let alone you exotic Hu people?" ”

Although the words are rough, it is a real truth, Kenta is very angry, he hates the Tang Dynasty, and he also hates the Tang man in front of him who does not know how to be polite, but he has no way to vent.

"What did the secretary say? Just let us go back like this? Cheap that horse thief for nothing? Kenta couldn't help it, and questioned Qin Jiegao.

Qin Jiegao didn't 'revea' his voice and 'color': "The secretary and supervisor don't have any suggestions, but there are some shallow and foolish opinions below."

"What?"

Qin Jiegao smiled faintly, looked around unhurriedly, and said something else.

Murto came to Datang for a few months, and he had already known about it, so he 'touched' a bag of dinars from his arms, weighed it, and then threw it to Qin Jiegao.

Picking up a bag of gold coins, Qin Jiegao opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Capture the thief and capture the king first." As long as you solve Li Huaitang, Ningyuan City will not be attacked, so why do you need to join forces with others. ”

As soon as these words came out, Murto suddenly felt sorry for the 'meat' bun that had just smashed the dog, and was angry and funny: "Nonsense! We have 300 cavalry, they also have 300 cavalry, and you Datang are getting in the way, how can we succeed? ”

"Actually, you don't have to use a knife to kill someone." Qin Jiegao said slowly, a trace of 'yin' and cold 'color' hung on the corner of his mouth.

"No knives? Is it with a bow and arrows? "Kenta is smart.

"No, no." Qin Jiegao held back a smile and walked into Kenta and whispered in his ear: "We just have to be like this......"

"Wonderful! It's really high! Kenta high-fived and shouted, his eyes glaring.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and asked, "But how did we trick him into going out of the city to negotiate?" ”

"Is this," Qin Jiegao snorted, "Why don't you lower the negotiation conditions as the secretary and supervisor said?" In addition, the people of Bahuan City will help us, we just have to ......."

"High, really high! Haha!"

……

"Phew!" Qin Jiegao walked out of the place where the Tuqi Shi people were staying, lowered his head and smacked fiercely, and said to himself: "Li Huaitang deserves to die, and you deserve to die too." Ye Ji, you can't escape from the palm of my hand! ”

The boring negotiations also did not spoil Li Huaitang's interest. In Bahuan City, Li Huaitang stayed away from chores, compared to Ningyuan City is much easier, every day he has to play with the knife 'get' gun for a while, especially to the specially invited Anxi army in the spear master to ask for advice, Li Huaitang's comprehension 'sex' is extremely high, after the point, its level of hammer has increased rapidly.

Li Huaitang not only practiced by himself, but also asked the instructor to instruct the soldiers of the general's cavalry, and almost every day, they were running horses outside the city, attracting many curious people in Anxi to watch. Under the guidance of the instructor, the performance of the general's cavalry won countless loud applause from onlookers, and Li Huaitang was also quite satisfied.

"Instructor Xue, are you interested in teaching in my Ningyuan City? How about five times the salary? Food, clothing, and shelter, equal treatment for family members, and I will pay for the migration expenses! ”

Xue Ling was an instructor of the Anxi Army, he was over 50 years old, and he immediately perfected his skills in hammering, Li Huaitang admired him a lot, and intended to invite him to the newly established military academy in Ningyuan City as an instructor.

"Five!?" Xue Ling was shocked, more than ten years ago he withdrew from the Tang Army due to war injuries, just because his boss thought that he had a high level of hammering, and specially took care of him and left him in the barracks as a supernumerary lance instructor, but his income was meager, and he could barely maintain the life of his family.

Regarding Xue Ling's situation, Sui Feng, who was lurking here, had already found out clearly, and there was no obstacle to hiring him to Ningyuan City, as long as he said hello to Zhao Hanzhang. Seeing that there was an opportunity to dig into the corner, Li Huaitang would certainly not let go of the opportunity to recruit talents. The newly established military academy not only trains reserve generals, but also trains new soldiers, and urgently needs all kinds of talents.

Xue Ling was overjoyed, and without waiting for Li Huaitang to increase his weight, he immediately nodded in agreement. It is very important to go to Ningyuan City to earn living expenses, and it is his desire to fight side by side with Ningyuan Iron Cavalry.

"Good!" Li Huaitang laughed, this was the first talent he had dug up after arriving in Bahuan City. Li Siye, who had fallen in love before, also wanted to dig up Ningyuan City, but there were still some difficulties and obstacles in technology.

After practicing outside the city for a long time, the sky was gradually approaching in the evening, and Li Huaitang reluctantly led the army back to the city. On the way back to the city, pass by the Acre River, which originates in the Lingshan Mountains, its source is in the west of the Bodaling, and flows eastward, flowing through Bahuan City and finally into the desert. It was early summer, and the temperature during the day was already very hot, and the soldiers who had practiced for most of the day were covered in sweat, and proposed to go down to the river to wash and feel cool.

"No!" Xue Ling spoke out to stop the soldiers from going down to the river, "Last winter, the heavy snowfall, at this time, the temperature is getting higher and higher, the water of the Akhe River is rising sharply, the water is deep and the undercurrent is turbulent, and it must be dangerous to go down the river!" ”

Li Huaitang thought so, so he did not allow the soldiers to go into the water. Xue Ling reminded him that Blizzard's most terrifying threat was not over yet. Looking at the Ake River with high water level, he was a little worried in his heart, Bahuan City, like Ningyuan City, was located on the bank of the river, once the river 'bed' could not restrain the unbridled ice and snow meltwater, disaster would come suddenly.

"You've had this kind of blizzard in previous years, and there will be floods in the coming year? How do you deal with it? Li Huaitang raised the doubts in his heart.

Xue Ling replied: "We don't have a good way, if we really can't deal with it, we have to dig a dike to drain the water." ”

"Digging embankments to drain water?"

"Yes. We have chosen to excavate from the upstream where we usually discharge the floodwater, and the flood protection capacity of the breached area has decreased, and I am worried that the water will even break the embankment if it is a little stronger. Xue Ling was worried.

"Wouldn't that flood a lot of farmland?"

"There's no way around it, it's better to weigh the two than to destroy Bahuan City."

Listening to Xue Ling's words, Li Huaitang turned his head to look at the upstream direction of the Ake River, and smiled bitterly, in the face of the power of nature, manpower seemed so weak and powerless.

As soon as Li Huaitang entered the city, he received a notice from Feng Changqing, who was waiting here, and the Tuqi Shi people offered to negotiate again tomorrow. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
