Xiao Zhengxiao, the civil servant who had never spoken to participate in the court debate above the court, stood up and opened his mouth at an inopportune moment.

"A million people? You don't have a place to stand in the camp where you are camped, and the people on your grassland don't add up to a million, right, can you talk a little bit? I'll tell you how to calculate ......", after calculating the accurate data, I was obsessed with blinking and had nothing to say.

Before he could react, Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "You have suffered a lot of losses in Jingyang and Lingzhou, and you Turks don't bring much food every time they invade the Tang Dynasty, they are all grabbed along the road, but this time it seems that nothing has been grabbed, if there are a million people, you can't eat the grassroots now, right?" Oh, and what about your Khan's injuries? ”。

The arguments that were originally going to be trumpeted were dumbed out before they were used.

Li Shimin also lost no time in saying: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty has made a face-to-face agreement with your then Qimin Khan, and it is too much to give you gold, silver, cloth and silk every year. But now your khan is treacherous, taking advantage of the instability of my court to lead his troops and horses deep into the country, although you live in a wild land, you should also know that faith is the foundation, and now you are ungrateful, show off your power to me, I will kill you first and sacrifice the banner! ”

The two of them sang and sang and made the obsession that had just gone to the palace into a fog, and before he could say Jieli Khan's request, his life was about to be gone, and suddenly the momentum he pretended to be invisible, and he hurriedly saluted Li Shimin with Han etiquette and said: "Your Honorable Emperor, in the words of your Han people, the two countries are fighting each other, why don't you kill me if you don't abide by your faith and don't listen to our request?" ”。

"That's your treachery first, and then we don't want to talk to you and prepare to fight to the death, so it's normal to kill you," Xiao Zheng added with a smile.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please let me go, and please also ask the villain to convey the request of Jieli Khan" The obsession finally couldn't stand it, and the cold sweat on his forehead bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Your request is nothing more than blackmailing my Datang goods, what else can there be, you step back first!" Li Shimin pointed to the loss of obsession, and the warrior standing in the hall came over and put the stubbornness out of force.

"Guys, what do you do with the Turkic envoys?" Li Shimin asked.

Minister Feng Deyi stood up and said: "Sage, what the Turkic envoy said just now is right, the two countries will not kill the envoys, and the minister thinks that he will be rewarded with some goods and send him back."

Xiao Zheng also said to Li Shimin: "The minister does not agree, although my Tang Dynasty has a slight advantage in the confrontation, but we do not have much advantage, a slight show of weakness will inevitably fuel the arrogance of Jieli, if I let go of my stubbornness now, the Turks think that I am afraid that they will invade more wantonly, and our original advantage will also be lost." The minister suggested that the stubborn mind should be imprisoned first, but he should take care of his life."

Feng Deyi asked Xiao Zheng: "Xiao Shilang, if the situation changes in the future, how can we contact the Turks, and you Xiao Gong will not be able to go?" ”。

"Hehe, the minister asked the saint for his life, and he was willing to go to the Tujie camp" Xiao Zheng said to Li Shimin calmly.

"What!" Suddenly, hearing Xiao Zheng say this, even Li Shimin stood up in shock.

After going down to the court, Li Shimin called Xiao Zheng into the study alone.

"Qingzhi's heart to share worries for the country and the people is commendable, but you should be cautious, you are so big-hearted, if you are ....... by the Turks, my loss will be great", Li Shimin did not say the next words.

Xiao Zheng arched his hand to Li Shimin and said: "Since the earliest Turkic people have committed my Datang's information, all started from the ministers, and the sage's thoughts are also the clearest, frankly speaking, now my Datang is also bluffing, and the Turks are now at the bottom of their hearts, and now everyone will see who can scare whom, fortunately, his current goal is Chang'an, if he really divides his troops to plunder everywhere at this time, then my Datang will not be able to deal with it at all."

"Then there is no need for Qing to take risks alone," Li Shimin said a little anxiously.

"In fact, the intention of the Turks is obvious, it is nothing more than greedy for money, and when the purpose is reached, they will naturally withdraw their troops, and we have no money left in the treasury, to put it bluntly, we have no strength to deal with the Turks if we really want to go to war, this is a fact, and it is also wise to talk about peace from a political point of view. Then there are saints who have just ascended the throne, the country has just stabilized, the national strength is weak and the people are displaced, and the restoration and development of production is the top priority for the rich country and the strong army.

"Qing must be careful, everything is based on your own safety" When he went out, Li Shimin patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder heavily.

When he sent down from the Wugong Pass city wall to the sitting sliding basket, all the Tang soldiers, including Qin Qiong, were saluting him, and they were enjoying the admiring gazes of others, but they were also taking risks and going, God knows what would happen later.

"No matter, say a noble word, for my Datang to go first and then say" sat in the basket and went to the city, covering his nose and passing the pile of dead.

After walking less than two miles, he ran into a team of patrolling Turks, but fortunately, there was a person who could speak a few words of Chinese, and it was only after the comparison that the group understood Xiao Zheng's intentions.

These people didn't embarrass Xiao Zheng, they found him a horse and took him directly to the camp.

"The Tang Kingdom sent an envoy? Wait, I'm going to get ready," said Tu Jieli, sitting up from the blanket.

"My Khan asked you to climb in," a Turk came out and said to Xiao Zheng.

"You go and talk to your Khan, the dog just climbed in, if he doesn't want to talk, he can kill me" After speaking, Xiao Zheng closed his eyes and hugged his hands to his chest and stopped talking.

After a while, the Turkic soldier came out again and said, "My Khan invites you in."

This is about the same, and when he entered the tent, Xiao Zhengli ignored the angry eyes from the left and right in the account, and arched his hand at Jieli in the middle.

"Han people, do you know why we came?" Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Jieli spoke first.

"I know, since I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, I Tang Kingdom has been a vassal to the Turks, and now my saint has just ascended the throne, and the state affairs are busy and the future is still in the future, and the property is sent over, I think this is also the reason why your Khan led the army to ask the Tang Dynasty."

"You Han people can speak, you don't hide it, you have a very good appetite for me," Jieli replied directly.

"Then why are you Tang Guo still under the wall a few days ago preparing to shoot my Khan?" Suddenly, a famous general asked.

"The two countries are fighting, the swords and guns are eyeless, even if I am the Tang Emperor there, I think you will also bow and arrow to each other," the man was speechless when he asked.

"Since you want money, I will also say it directly, your purpose, our two countries can sit down and talk, if you want to fight, our Tang Kingdom will also accompany you to the end, presumably in Lingzhou and Jingyang and other places We have also fought each other," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Then since you talked about wealth, what sincerity do you have for the Han people?" Jieli asked.

Turning his head, he brought the box that had been brought by him into the tent, and took out a porcelain bottle from inside, and opened the stopper to spread the smell of wine in the tent.

Pouring the clear liquor into the silver bowl, and after only two sips, Jieli praised: "Good wine, you Han people have indeed given me good things, the supreme product."

"It's not easy to make this kind of wine in my Datang, a small bottle of wine is worth the money of two good horses, of course, this is just one of our gifts to you."

"This wine is definitely worth the price," he said, drawing the throats of the other chiefs in the tent.

He took out two more bottles and gave them to the generals in the other tents, and as soon as they sprinkled them into their stomachs, the atmosphere in the tents was obviously relaxed.

"We Tang Guo have another idea, I don't know if Khan is interested? You can also be guaranteed to have this kind of drink for a long time."

"Let's hear it," Jie Li suddenly became interested......

"Han people, since you have brought us such a fine wine, we will not neglect you again, come on! Bring our finest mare's milk wine to this Han man," Jieli said, waving his hand.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Zheng is bowl to dry wine, and he also took turns to pay tribute to the generals, the Turkic style was originally fierce, and only admired the strong, seeing that Xiao Zheng, who was weak and weak, actually killed in the wine field, and immediately applauded.

"Good man! Good amount of alcohol! Under the stimulation of alcohol, Jie Li almost forgot what Xiao Zheng was doing.

After successfully overthrowing four or five Turkic generals, Jieli was also put down by Baijiu. Xiao Zheng did not feel any discomfort except for some dizziness, he went to the tent arranged by Jieli for him and lay down and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that it was the time to hold the lamp, listening to the chirping of the horses outside, Xiao Zheng got up and prepared to release the water.

Before he went out, he saw that the curtain was opened, and an elderly man in his fifties walked in with a smile and said to him: "Mr. Xiao is so bold!" ”。
