Chapter 266: Back to Tang
"Well, yes, it's rare that you can think of that!" Pei Luo nodded lightly, looking at Li Zhen with a little more surprise in his eyes.
"Thank you Great Khan for your praise, I wonder if the Great Khan got the answer he wanted?" Li Zhen bowed down and asked with a smile.
"Now that we've said that, let the envoy finish!"
Li Zhen nodded yes, and then continued: "As for what conditions Ge Twist agreed to Jeruzara, the foreign envoy does not know, and there is no way to speculate, but only on the surface, the alliance of the four tribes is just the Uighur Nari taking the opportunity to deceive Usuke's military power, and for Jeruzara, it is undoubtedly also used to consume the strength of the Xi tribe and the Murwei, so Jeruzara will definitely not do his best, and this can also be confirmed from the war during this time!" ”
"Well, you deduced from this that the four clans are about to retire soon?" Pei Luo asked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhen shook his head and said, "No, if it's just like this, it's not enough, at least I won't retire in the near future!" ”
"Recently? Hahaha, yes, if you hadn't designed to lure away the Luancang guards, Luancang would not have fallen into the hands of the Khitans, and now that the alliance of the four clans has collapsed, I'm afraid that I will have to withdraw tomorrow! Pero laughed.
Li Zhen sighed lightly when he heard this, and said: "Originally, the foreign envoy just wanted to break the current deadlock, so that the Great Khan could send troops as soon as possible, but now it seems that the Great Khan has already understood everything, no matter whose hands Luancang is, with the wisdom of the Great Khan, he will never let go of this opportunity!" ”
Pei Luo glanced at Li Zhen, then looked into the distance, and said softly: "Yes, if the remnants of the Uighurs are not removed, Ben Khan will have trouble sleeping and eating for a day. ”
"The Great Khan is serious, if it weren't for the Great Khan's order, I'm afraid that the foreign ministers are still worrying about this matter now!" Li Zhen bowed and replied.
"Hehe, I can't talk about it, it's just that in this position, some things and some people always need to be considered, and now that my Khanate has 300,000 people in control, this Khan will completely clean up all the dangers that may threaten the Khanate in his lifetime!" Pei Luo nodded and chuckled softly.
After speaking, Pei Luo paused slightly, and then said slowly: "You are right, Ben Khan is indeed worried about the Tang Dynasty, if the northern border of the Tang Dynasty is eliminated, then no one can say whether you will turn around and deal with me!" ”
"But the Great Khan still decided to send troops!" Li Zhen interjected.
"Well, although it is imperative for Ben Khan to send troops, it is also because of the appearance of a person that Ben Khan finally made up his mind!"
"Who?" Li Zhen said in surprise.
"It's your envoy!" Pei Luo turned around and said, his expression was a little serious, which suddenly made Li Zhen feel a little unnatural.
"Minister?" Li Zhen was puzzled.
"Although the noble envoy is only a weak crown old, all the plans and worries in his heart are very within the reach of people, and more importantly, ......" Pei Luo looked at Li Zhen intently, his expression was slightly complicated, "Your envoy is deeply favored by the Tang Emperor!" ”
Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly said, "Why did the Great Khan say this? If the foreign minister is favored, how can he be sent to the town of Lulong Domain to suffer this crime? ”
"Hahaha! Your envoy doesn't have to defend himself, if Ben Khan didn't even have this eyesight, he wouldn't be standing here! Pei Luo waved his hand and smiled.
"Ben Khan said that he owes you a favor today, and if he needs it in the future, he can say it directly!"
"In this way, the foreign minister will thank the Great Khan on behalf of my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Zhen hurriedly bowed down and said.
"Thank you for not needing, but I hope that your envoy will not forget what you and I said today!" Pei Luo Zhengse said.
"The foreign minister naturally understands what to do and what not to do in the future, please rest assured that the Great Khan is!"
"Well, since that's the case, then Ben Khan won't keep you, today, I and Zuo Xiangbing will go straight to Murowei in two ways!"
......
Don't pass Pei Luo, Li Zhen's undecided heart finally sank slowly, and his mood instantly became much brighter, at least compared to Xu Liang and Gao Biao.
For Xu Liang and Gao Biao, although this exit turned the Khitan and Xi people upside down, it was still a little insignificant compared to the achievements originally conceived by the two.
"Zeyuan, now that the war is imminent, are we really going back like this?" After a long time, Gao Yu finally couldn't help but ask.
Xu Liang also came over after hearing this, although he didn't dare to be as casual as Gao Biao and Yan Heng for Li Zhen, but compared to the restraint when he set off, he had let go a lot.
And Li Zhen has Li Zhen's own hardships, it is really not easy to save up these 3,000 fine horses, and he really doesn't want to have a little loss, in Li Zhen's words: Stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, there are many opportunities to fight in the future, and there is no need to bet all on it when your foothold is not stable.
And now Lu Long and Huang Jiasi don't know how many armies are eyeing this piece of fat outside the gate, even if they can grab some credit, it is always limited.
In desperation, Li Zhen had no choice but to tell what he thought in his heart, and the two could only agree after thinking about it.
As for Yan Heng, he has no special desire for military merits, first, he has not yet reached the crown, even if he has made meritorious contributions, the imperial court will not have any substantial rewards; Second, under the poison of Li Zhen's long-term whispering, he became particularly life-sparing, unless he had to fight such a thing, Yan Heng would never be as eager as Gao Yu and Xu Liang.
Only Gu Duoda, like an iron tower, sat quietly on horseback without saying a word, perhaps still immersed in the melancholy of revenge, this seemingly reckless rough man, no longer the noise and noise of the past.
Walking on the vast grassland of Monan, everyone has their own thoughts, and the atmosphere seems a little dull, only the continuous sound of horses' hooves and the sonorous sound of armor are swaying all the way.
......
When Li Zhen and others led 3,000 elite horsemen to appear outside the city of Danzhou, Zhang Zhifang and Li Maoxun had been waiting outside the city for a long time.
At this time, nearly a month has passed since Li Zhenbing left Chongqing.
"Back?!" Zhang Zhifang took the lead in riding his horse to meet him, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's back!" Li Zhen replied, with a bright smile on his face, a smile from the heart.
At this time, I saw Li Maoxun also come up, looked sideways behind Li Zhen and the others, and his expression was a little surprised: "Dare to ask how many soldiers and horses General Li brought out of the customs?" ”
"Three thousand fine riders!" Li Zhen was a little puzzled.
"And how much will you come back this time?" Li Maoxun asked again.
"Two thousand seven hundred and nineteen!" Gao Biao interjected, he naturally knew why Li Maoxun asked this question, and he understood the reason for the surprise on his face.
"Only...... Lost less than 300 people? Li Maoxun's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
