Chapter 618: Thinking Behind Closed Doors
"Yinan Khan sent an envoy to sue for peace, what do you say should I do, do you refuse or agree?" Li Chengqian asked distressedly.
The first snow had fallen on the grassland, and Xue Yantuo had not many cattle, sheep and horses, and it was very difficult to live a life without food and clothing.
In fact, Xue Yantuo people are not happy, and Tang Jun is not happy, it is also a problem of the weather, and the warm clothes or something began to be sent from the rear when the temperature began to drop. But there was a problem with the forage, mainly because I didn't expect the first snow on the grassland this year to fall so much, covering all the grass, and the forage in the logistics reserve was not very sufficient, which was not enough to support the running of the war horse's heavy load, especially on the grassland, which can run everywhere if it can't be beaten.
A few waves of attacks can also be supported, but in case the Xue Yantuo people are defeated and start fleeing, they will not be able to support the long journey.
And if you run away from Yinan Khan and his son Tuli, then this Xue Yantuo will not be destroyed, and he will be a good man with some people to gather some tribes, and he will be able to make a comeback.
In order to succeed in the first battle, neither the commander Li Ji nor the deputy commander of the record chief wanted to launch a general attack when the forage was low.
Therefore, they were stationed in a semi-encircled state a hundred miles away from Xue Yantuo's tent, waiting for the fodder to be sent from the rear, and sending people to farther away to collect the forage that could be used.
At the same time, the people sent by Yinan Khan to sue for peace also rushed to Chang'an. If it weren't for the heavy snow, it is estimated that when the envoys of Xue Yantuo arrived in Chang'an, Yinan Khan, they would have been defeated, and even captured alive.
"Silly, is this something you can decide?" Wu Yuanqing lifted the lid, stretched out his chopsticks to stir the porridge, and asked with a sneer.
"I can't." Li Chengqian shook his head and said with some shame: "This will be presented to my father, and I will wait for my father's decision." “
"Isn't that over, since it's a war or not, you can't decide it, what are you still struggling with. Either send someone to Luoyang to wait for your father's instructions, or send Xue Yantuo's envoy directly over, so that you can directly talk to Your Majesty about the matter of peace, isn't it over? Wu Yuanqing picked a few grains of rice with chopsticks, chewed them twice, and tried the softness and hardness, and then said to Li Chengqian angrily.
"Hehe, didn't I think that I would come up with a charter first, and then send it to my father, if my father is satisfied, he can praise me." Li Chengqian said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"You said how old you are, and you always want to get praise from your father, really, it's not the same as you look."
Wu Yuanqing glanced at him and said, "Your father's purpose is to destroy Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop, and Xue Yantuo's request to make peace with your father will definitely not agree." So, there is no need for a charter, there is no other option for this matter. And Xue Yantuo doesn't really want to seek peace, he just wants to win a chance to breathe, and Dongshan will definitely covet my Datang again in the future. So, be sure to kill them this time. Moreover, destroying them now is a matter of raising hands, so why should we agree to their request for peace. In my opinion, either you will hang Xue Yantuo's envoys, or you will send someone to send a folded son to your father and wait for instructions, and I will estimate that the grain and grass in the rear have been sent to the front of the army. At that time, whether it is war or peace, it will not be able to change the outcome of Xue Yantuo's destruction in the end, because Xue Yantuo has been destroyed at that time, even if His Majesty agrees to their request for peace, the country is gone, and they still ask for a fart peace. “
"Yes, then I'll send someone to Luoyang when I go back." Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Then let them go slower and delay for as many days as possible." ”
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian put on a thief's expression: "Hey, you said that we gave hope to Xue Yantuo's envoys, and finally gave disappointment, will he go crazy directly after he finally gets the news that Xue Yantuo has been destroyed by us." ”
"Haha, it's good that he's crazy, otherwise, with your father's temperament, I don't know if he will be an official to comfort people's wounded hearts." Wu Yuanqing ridiculed maliciously.
"Get out, be careful that my father knows that you said this about him, and let people beat you to death with a board." Li Chengqian smiled and pushed Wu Yuanqing.
"Cut, don't you tell how your father knows. If your father knows, it must be your son's secret, and you are a traitor. Wu Yuanqing glared at Li Chengqian with a look that I despised as a traitor and said.
"Ha, I don't say that my father will also let people beat you with a board. I have one more thing to say today, which is to tell you that your father has sent someone back to pass the word, and the initial punishment decision for you is to punish you with a cane of fifty, so that you can think about it behind closed doors at home, but in view of Changle, Sister Xiangcheng has just given birth to a child, and I am afraid that beating you now will make them sad, so I will make a note for the time being, and then I will fight later, by the way, I will let you wait, and then settle accounts with you when he returns. Li Chengqian said with a grin.
"It seems that the dynasty has already delivered the letter. Hey, Sang Xin, I have worked hard for Datang for many years, but my face is not as big as my two newborn children. It was even necessary to rely on the face of his son and daughter to escape punishment for the time being, and failed, too much of a failure. Wu Yuanqing shook his head and looked like his heart was stuffed.
"Haha, that's enough, you, if my father didn't have the intention not to punish, where would he wait for the dynasty to report the good news, saying that my sister Xiangcheng and sister Changle gave birth to a girl and a son. Where would you wait until this time, as early as when I knew that you ran back, I let people catch you back to Luoyang on the way to clean you up. Li Chengqian said funny.
"Your Majesty's imperial grace is immense, and I, a small prince, have nothing to repay, so I can only do my best for the Tang Dynasty in the future and then come to repay it." Wu Yuanqing looked grateful.
"Fuck you, it's really shameless, you actually compare yourself with Zhuge Wuhou." Li Chengqian couldn't stand it anymore and scolded disdainfully.
"Hey, what are you talking about, what do you mean to be shameless, where do I want to compare with Zhuge Wuhou, is it because I quoted this famous sentence in the teacher's table? If this is the case, doesn't that mean that those students, literati, and officials who talk all day long about the three provinces of my body are all Confucius who compares himself to the most holy master of Dacheng? Oh, Cheng Qian, your hat is too big, and those literati and scholars are not allowed to kowtow to death on the stone steps in front of the Confucian Temple in order to show that they have no intention of blaspheming the Confucian saints. Wu Yuanqing retorted with a smile.
"Go, go, you don't misinterpret me. I said you, don't get involved with anyone else. Li Chengqian said angrily.
"Hey, let's be clear, what is a misinterpretation.....
"Don't, don't say it, the porridge is going to be mushy, hurry up and stir it." Li Chengqian hurriedly interrupted, but he didn't want to listen to Wu Yuanqing's nonsense.
"Hey, don't go, we haven't made it clear yet, hey..."
