Chapter 120 The Attitude of Powerful Diplomacy

After the orchids danced the song, Zhao Ziliang smiled on his face, and his expression showed a frivolous attitude, and Asilandagan said when he saw this: "After all, it's a young man, so it can't hold on?" I'll give you a try! ”

After the orchids were gone, Asiranda Dragan smiled and asked, "General Zhao, how are these dancing queens of this king?" ”

Zhao Ziliang replied honestly: "It's all the national color and fragrance, the dancing posture is beautiful, the form is sultry, the king is so blessed, I really envy others!" ”

Asiranda smiled dryly: "It seems that the general also likes them very much, this king will send two dancing girls to General Zhao, after the banquet, General Zhao can choose two at will, how about it?" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face turned pale, and he slowly clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, but the end of the new funeral of his fiancΓ©e, I really can't raise my interest." Besides, these beauties are all beauties of the king, how dare the last general have the intention of possession? Please also ask the king to take back his fate! ”

A smile froze on Asilandagan's face, and when a minister saw this, he immediately changed the topic and relieved the siege for Asirandagan: "It turns out that General Zhao is a person with strong affection, I admire him!" Come on, come on, I salute General Zhao! ”

"I'll give General Zhao a drink!"

After a few rounds in a row, many ministers were slightly drunk, and even Asira Dagan was a little drunk, Zhao Ziliang saw it, and immediately put down the wine glass and asked: "Dare to ask the king, has the country of Bahanna been smooth in recent years?" Has it been invaded by the Northern Turks and the Western Great Food Eaters? ”

Asilandagan originally wanted to try to find out the intention of Zhao Ziliang's trip, but in the end, he didn't expect to be taken the initiative by Zhao Ziliang and drunk himself, he listened to Zhao Ziliang ask about it, and he didn't go through his brain, he naturally reacted emotionally, and said angrily: "The northern Turks are a group of wolf cubs who can't feed enough, since the Celestial Empire canonized Sulu as the ten surnamed Khan, he has been fighting everywhere, this person is a complete white-eyed wolf, not only is he not grateful for the kindness of the Celestial Empire, but also often attacks the land of Anxi, He also often went south to attack the border towns of my Bakhana country, and the people on the northern border of our country were miserable, and he deserved to die, not to mention the anger of the Celestial Empire, and also led the troops to wage war with the big food country in the west. After his son Tuhuo Immortal Khan succeeded to the throne, he also plundered everywhere, and the northern border of our country was still often harassed, which is really hateful! ”

Zhao Ziliang poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, and after putting down the cup, he asked with a smile: "Then does the king want to get rid of the northern Turks in one fell swoop, so that the northern border of the country of Bakhana will no longer have to be harassed by the Turks?" ”

When Asirota Dagan heard this, his expression was stunned, and most of his drunkenness disappeared in an instant, and he frowned and wondered: "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The Tuqi Shi people are ungrateful, vengeful, and murderous, especially ruled by a human head like the Spitfire Fairy, which is a huge threat to the surrounding countries, and our dynasty is also very angry, His Majesty the Emperor is very angry that the Tuqi Shi suddenly killed our envoy in Broken Leaf City, and supported the khan without the canonization of our dynasty. Turgish has now become a great problem for the surrounding countries, not only the enemy of Bakhana, but also the enemy of my country! In that case, my king, why don't we unite against Turgish? If we are together, we will benefit both sides, and if we divide them, we will both suffer the scourge of Turgish, and I think the king is a wise man, and he absolutely understands this truth! ”

"Hahaha・・・・・・" Asiranda laughed, of course he wouldn't admit that he didn't know this truth, but in the past, Sulu was the ten surnamed Khan canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was mainly focused on dealing with the northern and southern Turks and the southwestern Tubo State, and the military strength in the land of Anxi was weak, so he had no time to take care of it, and blindly supported and tolerated Sulu, the ten surnamed Khan who was not Ashina, the purpose was of course to weaken the influence of the Ashina family in the Ten Turks.

In the past, Datang did not plan to settle accounts with the Turks, and of course the country of Bakhana could not compete with the Turks with the strength of a country, as long as the Turkish did not go too far, Asirandagan could only endure it.

Now the Tang Dynasty is going to deal with the Turgish, which makes Asiranda Gan's heart very happy, but he thinks that his country has not only been harassed by the northern Turgish, but also attacked by the Western Great Food Country. Moreover, although there are 15,000 soldiers and horses in the country, this is not a standing army, this number is the number of all men over the age of fifteen, and the standing army of the country is only 6,000 men, and the loss of one is one less, and if the loss exceeds 2,000 men, it will take at least 20 years to recover.

Thinking of this, Asirandagan made a look of embarrassment after laughing and said: "General Zhao, it's not that General Ben is unwilling to send troops with the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Turgish, but because my country's national strength is weak, and the country's army is only 6,000 people, if we send troops to deal with the Turgish, then our country will be empty, and if the Western Food Country attacks, then wouldn't my country be very dangerous?" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked confident, and said indifferently: "The battle hasn't started yet, why should the king worry about the sky?" There are thousands of miles between the Great Food Country and the Bakhana Country between the other countries with the surname Zhaowu Jiu, and it will take several months to get the news from the Great Food Country and prepare for the expedition, and it will take at least half a year to march long distances, and we will have to destroy the Turgish after half a year, as long as the army of the Great Food Country dares to come, the armies of our two countries can wait for work with the power of great victory, and the other party has come from afar, and the division is tired, how can it be the opponent of our army? The armies of our two countries will definitely be able to defeat the great food army, what does the king think? ”

Asirandagan was shocked by Zhao Ziliang's words: "This ・・・・・・"

Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang didn't care, and his tone changed: "The king should know that there is no reason in the world to get something for nothing, if your country does not send troops, and when my Tang Dynasty defeats the Tuqi army and destroys its country, how will our emperor and those court ministers view your country at that time?" If a person wants to be respected by others, he must prove that he is worthy of the respect of others, and this principle is also true for a country! ”

Asirandagan was shocked by Zhao Ziliang's words, but as the head of a country, he didn't want to lose face in front of Zhao Ziliang, of course he wouldn't agree on the spot, and he didn't know how to step down.

This is the second prince's house grinding up and laughing: "General Zhao, sending troops is a big matter, you must be cautious, the king also has to weigh the pros and cons, and discuss with the ministers to decide, and ask General Zhao to allow our country some time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang dropped a bare bone, wiped his greasy mouth, got up and said, "Of course, you have enough time to think about it, our Datang will never be strong!" If the king has made a decision, please send someone to inform the last general, thank you for the king's hospitality today, and say goodbye! ”

After speaking, Zhao Ziliang shook his head to Chu Ge and the others, and walked out of the palace together.

After Zhao Ziliang and the others left, Asilandagan's face changed, and he said to the ministers and generals: "What do you think? ”

A minister stood up and saluted: "King, the minister thinks that he can't agree!" ”

Asirandagan asked, "Why?" ”

"King, my country only has 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the Tucai Shi has tens of thousands, and the Tang Dynasty has less than 30,000 people in the land of Anxi, and can only send 20,000 troops at most, so how many troops should we send? If all of them are sent out, our country will be empty, and if only two or three thousand people are filmed, it will not make much difference. Besides, sending troops to attack Turgish not only consumes a lot of grain and grass, but also has no benefit, which is a thankless task! ”

After saying this, someone on the spot immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, the king, the Turks are strong, and all of them are cavalry, the Tang Dynasty's energy is mainly focused on dealing with the Tubo and the northern post-Turks, this time to attack the Turks is just for the sake of face, it will definitely not go all out, the possibility and chance of victory is not large, if this defeat is lost, then our country will inevitably face the bloody revenge of the Turks, and then it will be a huge disaster!" ”

"That's a mistake!" The second prince got up and retorted, "Nominally, my country is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is a behemoth, if our country does not agree to send troops, it will be equivalent to rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty may not be able to take the Tuqi Shi for a while, but it is easy to destroy our country, I am afraid that we will not be destroyed by the Tuqi Shi, and we will be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty first!" This is one of them; Second, Turgish is our country's enemy, if our country offends the Tang Dynasty, it is a two-sided enemy, plus the big food country that may come from the west at any time, which side of our country is safe? ”

The eldest prince Zhongjie also stood up and said: "What the second brother said is good, my country is a small country, if you want to protect the whole country and the people, you must hold the thick legs, my country must either hold the thick legs of the Tang Dynasty, or surrender to the big food country or the Tuqi Shi, but over the years, the big food country and the Tuqi Shi have killed how many soldiers and people in our country, our country and them have long been out of the same day, even if we want to surrender to them, but the soldiers and the people will agree?" Therefore, the only way for my country is to stand firmly on the side of Datang! ”

Most of the ministers and generals were persuaded by the eldest prince's words, but Asirandagan was still a little hesitant, he got up and waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's all for today, and we'll discuss it tomorrow!" ”
