The Western Turkic Khan first inquired about the visit of the Western Turkic delegation to Datang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The news he got was that Datang was now going all out to solve the problems on the grassland, and he had no energy to care about the affairs of the Western Regions. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has been in war for many years, eager to recuperate, and is sending envoys to resolve border disputes with neighboring countries.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty personally promised the Western Turkic Mission, and the Tang Dynasty recognized the existing territory and status of the Western Turks and did not interfere in each other's internal affairs. Willing to demarcate the border line with the Western Turks, sign a treaty of friendship. Therefore, Tang Fei, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, was specially sent as an envoy to the Western Turks.

What he was most worried about was that the Tang Dynasty was interfering with his expansion in the Western Regions, so he was very happy to hear this news.

He personally met with Tang Fei, the minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and cultural and commercial exchanges.

On the issue of border demarcation, Tang Fei refused to give up an inch of land, and fought with the negotiators sent by Yu Lifu to blush, and even threatened to go to war with the Western Turks if no agreement could be reached on the border issue.

Tang Fei did this on purpose. Only in this way can he be convinced of his sincerity in negotiations.

He didn't care about the desert areas bordering Datang at all, he didn't want to lose a big deal because of a small one, and in order to reach an agreement with Datang as soon as possible, he agreed to make concessions on the border issue.

Soon after, the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty formally signed a peace agreement and signed a series of documents on jointly maintaining the Silk Road and strengthening cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides.

After the Tang delegation left, he said to the ministers with dissatisfaction: "These Tang Dynasty people are really pedantic, pay attention to the golden mean, and boast of being a state of etiquette. One day, when I unify the Western Regions, I will use a scimitar to teach them what true etiquette is. ”

The Western Turkic ministers burst into laughter.

After Tang Fei left the Western Turks, he did not return to Chang'an, but went to Yumen Pass to join Li Su, the king of Liang.

Yumen Pass Huangzha Bay temporary military camp.

The king of Liang, Li Su, Su Dingfang and others were discussing the logistics supply in the big tent, and Yang Kangxing rushed in and reported: "Dashuai (Li Su is the commander of the expeditionary force), the army of the Tuli Department has arrived. ”

Li Su and Su Dingfang went out to greet them, and he asked as he walked, "Which general is leading the team?" ”

Yang Kang smiled: "You can go out and see for yourself." ”

Yang Kang's answer didn't conform to the rules of the army, and he wasn't usually a joker, so what's wrong today?

Li Su didn't blame him, so he went out to see for himself what kind of person made Yang Kang so out of shape.

As soon as he and Su Dingfang walked out of the big tent, they saw a young general, got off their horses, and when they saw them, they bowed their hands and said according to the military salute of the Tang Dynasty: "The marshal, the deputy marshal, and the last general, Ashina Qing, led 10,000 soldiers of the Tuli Department to report." ”

Ashina Qing was dressed in a military uniform, with a gold and silver helmet, gold chain mail, and a black battle skirt. With a red silk scarf tied around his neck, he has a fair and delicate face, and he is heroic.

Li Su looked a little dazed, and looked at her with straight eyes. Ash Naqing was a little embarrassed when she saw him looking stupid, and her pretty face turned crimson.

"Ahem", Su Dingfang saw Li Su's appearance and coughed twice.

Li Su came to his senses and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Ashinaqing, welcome." ”

Why is Ashinaqing here?

It turned out that Li Su had treated others, and that time she found the dog's head gold, she touched and touched others, hugged and hugged others, and she had a good impression of him, so she had already secretly agreed.

Last time, Li Su got married, and after Ash Naqing heard about it, she went to Chang'an to watch the ceremony, and it was this Tuli princess who shed tears in the crowd.

The Tang Dynasty advocates intermarriage with the grassland peoples, and if the Tuli Khan Ashinash Bobi asks Li Shimin for marriage, Li Shimin will definitely make Li Su marry Ashinaqing, but this princess is a self-respecting woman, and she is unwilling to achieve her marriage in such a forced way.

Ash Naqing didn't believe that Li Su couldn't look down on herself, she was conceited and beautiful, and believed that he would definitely take the initiative to ask for her marriage. This time, she heard that Li Su was the marshal of the expeditionary force, so she led her troops to participate in the battle.

The army arrived, first to change the equipment, and then to train, waiting for the news of Tang Fei, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple.

Ashinaqing's tent.

"Your Highness the Princess." Cai Sha came in and greeted Ashinaqing.

"Ah, yarn picking, it's you." Ashina Qing said in surprise. She took the hand of the yarn picker and said, "Come here, sit down." ”

The two of them have been together for a long time and have a good relationship. The two of them chirped and chatted.

chatting and chatting, the topic began to turn to Liang Wang Li Su.

Ash Naqing said intentionally or unintentionally: "Your Highness, how is it?" ”

Cai Sha knew her thoughts and said, "Okay, he actually likes you very much in his heart." I don't know if you've ever talked to me about you. ”

Ashina said lightly: "How could it be? Princess Liang is good, right? Thinking of the wedding scene of Li Su and Qibi Wuyun, she felt a little lost in her heart.

Cai Sha smiled: "Actually, Wuyun Khan is a very generous person, she will not stop my prince from interacting with other women, Haitang and Ning'er are getting along well with her." ”

Ashina Qing still said lightly: "Yes, do you all like her?" ”

Cai Sha is a shrewd girl, and she knows what Ashina Qing likes to hear. She said: "I know my lord best. He likes you very much, but he is worried that you can't accept that he has so many women, and he was a little worried about the clouds and begonias at the beginning, but now it seems that these are completely superfluous. ”

Ashinaqing's heart suddenly brightened, and she said weakly: "Actually, I know that he is a prince, and it is normal to have more women." ”

Cai Sha was very happy and said: "If you think so, then it will definitely work, my prince is kind-hearted, as long as you are good to him, he will definitely cherish you." ”

Ash Naqing is very happy and full of expectations for a beautiful love. She stopped talking about the subject, brought up some bits and pieces, and chattered and laughed with Cai Sha.

In the expeditionary force, the training level of the army of the Tang Dynasty was very high, and after accepting new weapons, it quickly formed combat effectiveness.

The armies of the three steppe tribes, because they were temporarily recruited, although the soldiers were all brave and good at fighting, there was a lack of cooperation between them, and the new equipment needed to be adapted. Li Su is a layman in the army, so he can't help but be a little worried.

Li Su privately told Du He and others that he was very worried that the training time of these steppe troops was short, the run-in was not enough, and there would be problems on the battlefield.

Seeing Li Su's worried look, Du He smiled and said, "Dashuai, you don't have to worry at all, these things have my master!" ”
