Chapter 192: Negotiations

Tuoba Chici shook his head and didn't care, his daughter had something to avoid.

"No, you can just listen to it and give Daddy ideas!"

This is a party item, not Longxi City.

Even if he is a bout, he won't get to that point.

......

There was a group of black dots on the white snow that were moving slowly towards this side, and they were naturally the gang of party members.

Tuoba Chici, the leader of the eight clans of the party, came to greet him in person, which can be regarded as giving Li Xingzhou enough face.

Gradually, the group approached.

A big fat man dressed in bright silk stepped forward.

Who is not Tuoba Chici? Li Xingzhou wore armor to show his martial arts.

The party likes to wear silk and flaunt that they are civilized people......

However, the colorful things on Tuoba Chici are too cheesy.

It was not the first time Li Xingzhou had seen Tuoba Chici, and he knew that he had always been tasteless.

Li Xingzhou also accepted it habitually, and he didn't show surprise.

Tuoba Chici's belly is large and his body is wide.

He is fat, and he is also old, giving people the kindness of Maitreya Buddha.

It's not nice to smile at this time.

"After a farewell of March, General Li has become more and more energetic."

He smiled ugly, but he spoke kindly.

When we met, we mentioned the past, which reminded people of the previous friendship.

Li Xingzhou hugged his fists with a smile.

"The mountains don't turn around, so let's meet again."

At this moment, a head stretched out from behind Tuoba Chici.

The long-haired silk is a beauty, and this beauty Li Xingzhou also recognizes that it is Tuoba Chici's daughter Tuoba Jiqin.

I didn't want to be on such an occasion, and she came.

Tuoba Jiqin waved his hand, and a charming smile appeared in the deep sockets of his eyes.

"Does General Li remember me?"

Li Xingzhou smiled with some surprise.

"Princess, don't come unharmed?"

His smile was much more natural.

After all, I've seen other people's pants, and I still have to give this face.

Tuoba Jiqin is indeed beautiful.

Her long silky hair falls down naturally, and she has many small braids between her ears, but the women's braids are cute and look very exotic.

The eye sockets are deep, even if she looks at you expressionlessly, it seems to have a thousand feelings.

Although there is no grace and gentleness between a smile and a smile, it is full of enthusiasm.

She is not a cup of green tea floating, but a sweet red wine.

There was not a single trace of variegated mink fur around her neck.

It also sets off the white and noble face of that beauty.

Such a foreign princess, who is not married, also makes people feel admiration.

But Li Xingzhou just bent down lightly on the horse and nodded as courtesy, and did not show too much emotion......

He hadn't forgotten the purpose of this meeting, and if he was willing to be a licking dog in order to please the goddess, it would really be worth the loss.

Tuoba Jiqin smiled slightly when he saw this, which was meaningful.

The meaningless snowflakes between heaven and earth seem to have become very poetic.

......

Tuoba Jiqin smiled slightly when he saw this, which was meaningful.

The meaningless snowflakes between heaven and earth seem to have become very poetic.

Li Xingzhou hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

"The general's visit at night is really something Tuoba didn't expect!"

Tuoba Chici walked over with steady steps.

Looking at the cheerfulness on his face, he didn't seem to be worried about the party children in the Longxi camp at all.

"Patriarch Tuoba, take the liberty to visit, please don't blame!"

Li Xingzhou gave a face-saving salute to Tuoba Chi.

No matter how you say it, the status of Tuoba Chici is not low.

According to common sense, a small person like Li Xingzhou should also salute him.

After all, Li Xingzhou is not a character like Xue Ne and Heizhi Changzhi.

Like the Black Tooth Changzhi, that's a complete Big Mac.

Except for Wu Zetian, he can completely give no face to anyone.

"General, where is this, if you can come to see me, an old fellow, I will be satisfied, can I blame you? Don't say it, please come into the house first, Tuoba has prepared a good wine, I hope the little general will not dislike the poor food! ”

"Patriarch Tuoba laughed, Li Xingzhou can just ask for a full meal, hehe!"

"It's easy to say...... it's easy to say"

Tuoba Chici said with an embarrassed expression

"Why don't we talk about it later?"

"That's very good, please!"

Li Xingzhou rode his horse out of the way and stretched out his hand.

As soon as the drums sounded, the hundreds of brightly dressed foot riders behind separated on both sides and lined up neatly on the side of the avenue.

Li Xingzhou and Tuoba Chici went hand in hand.

The cavalry of the Zuo Yiwei opened the way in front, and the other infantry guards the left, right and rear sides, and the pomp and circumstance were well done.

But seeing the bright armor of the Tang Army, the military appearance was neat, and the heavy footsteps of the road shook the mountains.

All the parties looked at each other.

Moreover, the five hundred iron horsemen in front of him, Zuo Yiwei, were all tall, powerful, and very imposing and pressing.

I am afraid that the party members are also thinking in their hearts, if there are 8,000 people like Zuo Yiwei.

There is no pressure to sweep thousands of miles, and the victory or defeat has been decided, what else is there to fight?

They didn't know that the personal guard team in Li Xingzhou's hands had carefully selected 500 people from 16,000 people from the time it was formed, and all of them were warriors.

Of course, the overall quality of the small elite and the large army is not comparable.

The group stopped at the Chinese army tent in the party camp.

After entering the stockade, Li Xingzhou made a color to Wang Rare and others.

Wang rarely waited for people to understand, found a reason, and dispersed.

Only Wuyang and Li Baishi were left around.

The party is good at dancing, and there are also some dancing girls in the army, so that colleagues can pass by or visit.

that they may wait for the evening.

On the same day, Tuoba Chici received Xue Ne, and he used it.

This time, Li Xingzhou came to the week, and it was naturally the same.

These dancing girls danced at the banquet, but the banquet was lively and very joyful.

After eating, it's time to get down to business.

There were only six people in attendance.

Li Xingzhou took two guards on his side, Wuyang and Li Baishi.

After coming to the house, Li Xingzhou was surprised to see Tuoba Jiqin.

Tuoba Chici and another party member, his daughter Tuoba Jiqin, actually participated in this kind of negotiation.

Although the place is not large, there are not many people gathering in the first place, and it is easier to keep it secret here.

There was already martial law around, and Zuo Yiwei's five steps and one post did not allow any idle people to hear the wind inside.

Six people walked into the signing room one after another, and there was Zhang Dakang at the north end.

There is a swallowtail head case on it, and the four treasures of the study room on the case are already available.

It's cold, but it's warmer to talk on the kang.

Several people took off their shoes and put on the kang and sat on both sides of the table.

"Princess Qin'er, you are getting more and more beautiful, I guess the moon won't dare to come out tonight!"

"Oh? General Lee, why is that? ”

Tuoba Chici asked with interest.

"Patriarch Tuoba, you don't know anything, although the moonlight is beautiful, it is not as beautiful as Princess Qin'er's face, so in order not to be embarrassed, I think the moon will definitely be hidden!"

"Haha, what General Li said is reasonable, my old Tuoba doesn't dare to say anything else, but this daughter, that is really like a fairy!"

"What is moonshine?"

Tuoba Chici really laughed heartily.

Although this Li Xingzhou speaks funny, he is very much in line with him, and his daughter is beautiful.

Tuoba Jiqin didn't smile, but just nodded at Li Xingzhou, which was considered a courtesy.

Although he didn't say anything.

But Tuoba Jiqin had already put Li Xingzhou in the same category as a shameless villain in his heart.

How good can this kind of flamboyant person be?

However, there is one thing Tuoba Jiqin has to admit, that is, this shameless person is indeed very smart.

In Shanzhou, he has done things that others can't.

This cannot be denied.

During the banquet, Tuoba Chici and Li Xingzhou were always talking.

Tuoba Jiqin was only responsible for pouring the wine, sitting on the side without saying a word.

"Tuoba Patriarch, you should know about the affairs of the Yalong River Valley, the generalissimo is also forced to be helpless, I hope you can understand!"

Li Xingzhou toasted Tuoba Chici with a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Hey, I know, General Li didn't do anything wrong."

"But there is one thing that old Tuoba can assure you, that is, my Tuoba clan will never betray the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is Tubo, and the party is the party."

"I hope General Li will tell the generalissimo that he must investigate clearly and return my party to a clean slate!"

Why don't you know this?

But the people in the camp in Longxi are the children of the party.

If he says he's not worried, he's lying completely.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Tuoba will treat us fairly, and we will never kill innocents indiscriminately."

"But we need the support of the Tuoba Patriarch, and I hope that the Tuoba Patriarch can give an order to the people in the Longxi camp and let them wait patiently."

"I don't want any chaos during this period, and you know, it's not good for either of us!"

"I know!"

Tuoba Chici nodded, he understood what Li Xingzhou meant.

Don't mess around at this time.

If it's messy, then even if the matter has nothing to do with the party, it becomes related.

And he also knew that when Hei Tooth Changzhi left at that time, he left some people in Longxi.

This group of people is reserved for the party, as long as the party dares to mess around.

Then the end will be the same as that of the Tibetans.

Li Xingzhou and Tuoba Chici chatted a lot.

But there is no mention of Lintan Town at all.

The two of them chatted like this for about an hour, and Tuoba Jiqin was a little annoyed listening to it next to him.

She always felt that Li Xingzhou's visit this time would definitely not be so simple.

But what exactly he was going to do, Tuoba Jiqin had a hard time thinking of.

Tuoba Jiqin, she wears a narrow-sleeved mink coat on her upper body.

The waist is tied with a ribbon to deliberately form a slim and thin line.

The skirt underneath is the knee, and inside the skirt are trousers.

This dress makes her look slender and wonderful, which is exactly the style that the party members prefer.

There is a charcoal fire under the kang, and several people sit on it to bake hot.

Everyone's faces were flushed, as if there was a little more blood.

The usual habit of party members is to sit cross-legged, and after kneeling for a long time, they accidentally get used to it.

As he spoke, Tuoba Chici and the other two men adjusted their postures and simply sat cross-legged on the kang.

Tuoba Jiqin is a woman, but she has always been very dignified and sat on her knees and listened to everyone.

Li Xingzhou gently tapped a piece of paper on the table with his fingers.

"Two conditions, first, help us send troops to fight Tibet. Second, pay one-third of the harvest every year to help us rebuild the 30,000 troops. ”

"If the patriarch has no objections, let's reach a consensus happily, and we can submit it to Luoyang after signing, so we can save time and have fun, right?"

Tuoba Chici frowned.

"With the knife on your neck, you can say whatever you want, but these conditions are inevitably difficult for strong people, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do it at that time."

"General Li should know that in the Longyou War last year, we were coerced by the Tibetans to use a large army for several months to no avail, and we lost the pastures in the Yellow River Valley, and this year's livelihood is already difficult......

"Now that we have to work hard for you to fight Tibet, and you have to pay one-third of the harvest, how can you do it without food and money?"

Li Xingzhou said calmly.

"Didn't you promise that the imperial court would agree to the herdsmen of the party to graze in the Yellow River Valley?"

"These places are all good land with water and grass, and they are very fertile for grazing and farming."

"If a third of the harvest is paid, I can't guarantee that the tribesmen will go hungry to fight the Tibetans."

"Unless we are exempted from paying tribute this year, we will have enough food and grass to fight."

"Or pay money and food, but the Tubo people you go to fight."

Li Xingzhou persuaded patiently.

"The patriarch must understand that it is not Xue who is greedy, but forced by the situation."

"General Cheng Boxian was killed, and the imperial court could not trust the party."

"The most supportive method of the courtiers is to migrate the Xianbei people to Tuyuhun and establish a detention state."

"The advantage is to use Jianzhou instead of the Tang Dynasty to resist Tibet, and to defend the country without spending a single soldier, and there is no need to pay military expenses."

"How can the elders of the Pavilion disagree with such a good thing?"

"Now I want to change this practice, naturally I want everyone to see enough benefits, otherwise how can I get Luoyang's support?

"Let you fight Tibet, one is to let Luoyang see the actual value, and the other is equivalent to a vote."

"Who told you to talk to the Tibetans before?"

"Let you pay the currency, because the soldiers we have trained in Liangzhou for ten years have all been wiped out, do we want the imperial court to pay for the military again?"

"Originally, I didn't need to pay for the establishment of the Guanzhou army, but now I want to send troops, and I have to pay military expenses, do you think the court is willing?"

Tuoba Chici suddenly asked.

"Since the establishment of Guzhou is so beneficial, why does General Li insist on making peace with us?"

"I don't believe that for the sake of your past friendship, you don't hesitate to go against the court?"

"Since the establishment of Guzhou is so beneficial, why does General Li insist on making peace with us?"

Tuoba Chici looked at Li Xingzhou suspiciously.

"I don't want to see innocent lives lost to war unless I have to."

Li Xingzhou said calmly.

Apparently this was not the truth, and it was impossible for him to tell a few Gentiles what he was thinking.

The Tang Dynasty's state taxes were at their own expense, guarding the border for the Tang Dynasty, and in fact had the nature of mercenaries.

In the process of the Tang Dynasty's foreign expansion, problems such as ethnic contradictions, regional stability, and financial burdens were solved.

At the same time, it can use brave nomads to guard the border passes, which has many benefits, but there is a great hidden danger.

......

Li Xingzhou knew about the famous Anshi Rebellion, and of course understood the seriousness of the consequences.

It cannot but be said that the Anshi Rebellion had a great deal to do with the failure of national integration.

When the country is gradually leveling down, the government military system is corrupted, the army's combat strength is declining, and it slowly begins to rely on nomadic mercenaries, which will naturally form a situation of foreign strength and middle work.

Now that there is power and opportunity, there is an opportunity in front of us.

Why didn't he, as a Han Chinese, try to find a viable path for the Tang Dynasty's security policy?

Besides, he also has his own little Jiujiu.

finally crossed a scene, and finally formed his own Zuo Yiwei.

Let him just go back to Luoyang like this? Just hand over military power?

It is impossible to drop.
