Chapter 254: Peace
Shang Jiexi and a few retinues, led by the Tang people's patrol cavalry, passed through the dense military formation, and felt cold in their hearts one after another, from head to foot.
The Tang army did not set up camp, maybe it was not too late, but he did not dare to think about it, because it was very likely that the other party would attack immediately after a short rest.
That's why he came to see him right away.
But what is disappointing is that Ge Shuhan did not agree to his request to meet alone, but temporarily arranged a Chinese army camp in front of a group of generals, and the generals of the two armies gathered together, nearly 100 people, in this case, he felt extremely tricky.
Since it is to receive foreign envoys, on behalf of the imperial court prestige of Anxi, Helong two commanders of the festival honor guard, on both sides of the camp lined up, full of place, the two towns of the festival soldiers stand tall and concave, holding a knife, a group of generals, according to their duties, stand on both sides, and in front of the camp, side by side sit Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing, the whole camp, with them sitting in front of the bookcase, is headed by Gao Shi in the two towns of the army secretary and several other people, they will be responsible for recording the line.
"The Tibetan envoy comes in."
With a roll call from the Chinese army's escort, Shang Jiexi left his entourage outside, untied the straight knife he was wearing, walked into the camp with a steady step, ignored the aggressive gazes of the Tang generals on both sides, came to the big case, and performed a Tubo-style etiquette.
"On the orders of our Zampu, I, Shang Xi, Zampu's most loyal servant, thank you to the two marshals for taking the time to meet each other."
If he is still in the end, Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing look at each other, it is obvious that since he wants to speak, he must have a priority and a priority, in Ge Shuhan's camp, Feng Changqing does not mind being a head shorter, after all, he has only been in office for a few months, and his grade and qualifications are far inferior.
"Don't be polite to come, I met with Dr. Geshu just to know your intentions." Feng Changqing said.
"Dashuai." Shang Jiexi raised his head: "No matter how long the war is, there will always be an end of the day, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, there have been times when soldiers have met, and there are also moments of harmony and closeness like a family, no matter who is right and wrong, our Zampu, I hope to reproduce such friendship, I have reached an agreement with your envoy, I believe that the two marshals will definitely have our common wish, up to the heavenly khan, right?" ”
"At this time and that time, at that time, we were still under Gongtang City, and now, we have come to Luoqi City, you can't even keep your own capital, what qualifications do you have to talk about the covenant."
Feng Changqing scoffed at his words, Ge Shuhan didn't know the inside story, just looked at them quietly, and the envoy of the Tubo people seemed to be dissatisfied and aggrieved, this is a rare scene, because among the envoys of the Tibetans, only the Tubo people, who have never been in contact, have shown a completely different attitude, arrogance is their label, when have they been so humble.
"How we lost some cities, the twists and turns, I'm afraid I can't explain it in one or two sentences, but we still have millions of people, they will be under the leadership of Zampu, hold on to the last moment, in the Tubo people's own land, every place will be our battlefield, this result, I'm afraid it's not what the two marshals want to see."
"Then what else is there to say, just start fighting, Datang has traveled thousands of miles, how can he be afraid of a war?" Feng Changqing unceremoniously slammed back.
Shang Jiexi showed a sad expression: "Before today, we shed too much blood under the city, whether it is the Tang people or the Tubo people, there are warriors who are not afraid of sacrifice, such warriors should not die for a meaningless battle, am I right?" ”
"Defeating you is the greatest significance."
"What if we admit defeat and offer the fruits of victory with both hands?" The words of Shang Yuxi made the two of them stunned, and even the generals standing around them were also surprised.
He continued: "The marshal is right, our Zamp, who does not want his people to shed any more blood, wants to end everything as soon as possible, and for this reason we will no longer discuss the question of the Covenant, but will annex it. ”
"Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have become a family, we will respect the Heavenly Khan, fight under the same banner, we can give up all the places you occupy, including some cities, we can send a surrender table, take the prince as a hostage, and express that we will never rebel again, such a result, isn't it what the two marshals want?"
"As long as you agree, the Tubo people will become the people of the Heavenly Khan, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, do you have to slaughter his people? Do you want to do it for your exploits? ”
Shang's words caused an uproar, and the generals of Helong, who came from afar, almost couldn't believe their ears.
The other party said well, before the war, their best wish was only to recover the land of Jiuqu and include Qinghai in the bag, although the assistance of the Tubo people was defeated, but the Tang army's own losses were not small, especially the soldiers and horses in Hexi.
At present, although they have lost the capital, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even if they are not all armored soldiers, they really have to fight hard, and the combat effectiveness is not something to be underestimated, taking a step back, if the Tubo people do not want to fight a decisive battle, it is impossible for the Tang army to be stationed for a long time in such an environment, which Ge Shuhan knows very well.
The camp was quiet, and everyone's eyes looked at the two people in front of them, to be precise, one person, because Feng Changqing was the same.
This decision can only be made by Ge Shuhan.
"We all know what you mean, please rest in the camp, and let me wait for a discussion before replying."
Of course, it is impossible for Ge Shuhan to say anything, Anxi Town respects him because his level is high enough and his strength is strong enough, but who brought all this down? It is impossible for him to go beyond the blister, besides, the attitude of the Tubo people is so low, and the eagerness to succeed is known to everyone, but how do you know that it is not a delaying strategy?
Shang Jiexi also understood that things would not be done overnight, and he pretended to make astonishing words, just to discourage the other party's attack, if not, once the Tang army came to attack desperately, the consequence may not be a matter of negotiation, and it may become surrender.
Let the other party start the heart of peace talks, and then slowly talk about the conditions, for him, who is familiar with foreign affairs and the inside story of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult at all, Shang Jiexi stroked his chest and saluted, turned around and retreated, before leaving, he secretly made a look with Mo Lingti, who was standing in the team of Helong's generals.
After the envoys of the Tibetan people left, only the generals of the Tang Dynasty were left in the camp, and Ge Shuhan looked around at the generals, and on their faces, he saw the joy of the imminent victory, especially the generals under his command.
What does it mean, the people here are very clear, because this is how many of the generals among them came, this is the case with Huo Di Guiren, this is the case with Mo Lingti, and even their commander Ge Shuhan, strictly speaking, is the same.
Geshubu, who was also a member of the ten Turks, was placed in a certain state capital after being attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the leader became the governor, and from generation to generation, he slowly integrated into the Tang people and became a part of them.
The envoy of the other side said well, once the Tubo people are attached, it will not be much different from being wiped out, although they can still maintain a certain degree of independence, but they are strictly restricted, if they want to raise any new moths, they can only rebel like the same Luo Bu, and then be surrounded and suppressed by the army that swarms from all directions.
But the problem is that the other side is not a tribe of 1 or 20,000 tents, but a country with a large territory and a high degree of organization, like the Turks more than a hundred years ago, which will involve very complex divisions.
Of course, that was the matter of the imperial court, and now the question is, should they agree to each other's demands?
"What about Zhang Shaoqing, is he here?"
Ge Shuhan looked around, and suddenly realized that the envoy of the Guild Alliance, who had passed through his territory and had set off two months earlier, was not here.
