Perhaps for many people, as a general, how can he think about his subordinates, Nuralman's expression can't hide Musara, who is the deputy head of the palace, and when he noticed the expressions of the people around Lao Luo, his rough face couldn't help but overflow with a look of confidence.

It's just a pity that his understanding of his negotiation opponent is only limited to the transmission of detailed work and secret spies, and he doesn't know who Lao Luo is.

If you accept the Turkic offer, and at the same time the Turks keep their promise, is it good to stay in Central Asia and belong to the Turks? Of course, there is, at least for a short period of ten years, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there is no need to worry about the deliberate targeting of the Turks, and there is also a recognized territory, and the obligation to do is to use force to conquer unfamiliar ethnic groups. But in the long run, five years and ten years later, there will always be inevitable sacrifices in foreign expeditions, and even if there are none, the warriors will always age over time, and what will happen when the clansmen get used to a comfortable life and have no desire to fight?

You must know that the right to speak is in the hands of the Turks, at that time the Turks will definitely not keep their promises, the right to speak needs strength to support, without power, no matter how beautiful the vista is, it is just a castle on the beach, and it will fall down if there is a little wind and waves.

Of course, this is just the best estimate of wishful thinking, Lao Luo didn't believe that the Turks who pushed to the Samanid Dynasty would be frightened by the mixed team of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on his side, so he guessed that the biggest purpose of this Mahmoud envoy was to fool his tens of thousands, delay the trip, confuse or indirectly make tens of thousands of people because of disagreement and civil strife, all for the preparation of Herat's nearly 20,000 elite soldiers, yes, it can only be this reason.

"Huh? The conditions are good, but what is the guarantee that your Elmi will keep his promise? Lao Luo, who figured it out, looked at the other party with some teasing, such a thing as a blank check would be a trick that any profiteer would do, and it would be too pediatric to take it out.

"Guaranteed?" Mushara expressed surprise at Lao Luo's directness, which few people would ask in the course of negotiations, and this general Bartol was obviously completely different from the merchants from the east, "What kind of guarantee do you want, General Bartol?" ”

It seems that it is better to be tactful, at least to stabilize this Turkic politician, Lao Luo pondered for a while, "For example, your Excellency the Emir will inform the steppe ministries that they will no longer pursue the previous killings, and at the same time notify the location of the fief to the same extent, of course, the absolute autonomy within my territory is to be guaranteed......"

"How is this possible?" Mushara was stunned by Lao Luo's conditions, which was simply impossible, not to mention the Tang, even if the overthrown highlanders (Iranians) did not have such prerequisites.

"What? Can't you just agree to such a few conditions? It seems that the sincerity of your great emir is very limited. "What Lao Luo wants is for the lion to open his mouth, preferably to a level where the messenger is unable to call the shots but is not embarrassed and angry, for the simple purpose of delaying time and confusing the Ghaznavids.

"This ...... There has never been anything like this, and His Excellency the Emir will not agree. Mushara was angry with Lao Luo, there has never been such a thing, the Turks have been powerful in these years, and no steppe tribe has dared to bargain.

"Not before, but now there is, His Excellency Mushara must have known about Dhamgan, you haven't heard of the loss of only a few dozen people and the destruction of nearly 10,000 people, right?" Lao Luo pretended to be very proud, and deliberately made a conceited expression.

Mushara paused for a long time before he said a little unwillingly: "General Bartol does have the ability, but I'm afraid I won't have such good luck if I come again!" ”

Lao Luo didn't care what he said, it was true that he could be arrogant and fool the past, at least don't tear your face now, the other party is trying to delay time, and your own side also needs time, "No matter what, if you win once, there will be a second time, Your Excellency Mushara can't make a decision, so it's better to send someone to send a letter to ask Your Excellency Emir." ”

"It's good!" Mushara said with some indignation, when he met a guy like Lao Luo, he really didn't have a temper, beat? At the moment, he is definitely not an opponent under the noses of others, not to mention that he was sent by Mahmoud to discuss collegiately. So all he could do was send a letter to his master, and at most he could send a letter to the army on Herat's side and say something derogatory.

"Or I'll say something too," Lao Luo didn't want to be dragged down by the Turks, and it was not a way to make too much trouble, at least he had to keep a communication channel, "Our team is just passing by, and everyone will lose when we fight, and we will make the people around us see the jokes, so in the future, the two will be irrelevant." ”

Of course, Mushara didn't dare to agree to this statement, he was slapped in the face, and he was dumb without saying a word, can the Ghaznavid Turkmen still be the boss of the Turks?

Mushara returned to Mashhad with a depressed heart.

Sending away the envoy of the Turks, Nuralman took advantage of the fact that no one around asked Lao Luo in a low voice: "Does the general really plan to make peace with the Turks?" ”

"Peace? Who told you that? Lao Luo looked at this high-achieving student who had always behaved very well-behaved with some strangeness, "Did someone say something to you?" ”

"No, Lord. Not just now...... I guess. Nuralman knew that the general he was following was a figure that even his uncle Al Hesian sometimes couldn't guess what was in mind.

"Nuralman, Nuralman, you, learn from your uncle, don't take advantage of this kind of guessing thing. When doing things around me, your mouth is tight, and you can ask questions if you don't understand, but don't make random claims and don't guess in your heart. Lao Luo doesn't like people with heavy hearts, and he doesn't want the young boy next to him to become the kind of person who likes to greet him, he patted the little secretary on the shoulder, and his words were a reminder to the young boy, "As for the matter with the Turks, it's just pretending to fool them, what's the good of following them?" It's better to be happy to make your own decisions! ”

"Yes, Lord!" Nuralman was slapped by Lao Luo's slap.

"You go and tell Olki that the guys who were guarding around the tent just today have their mouths shut and don't talk nonsense!" Lao Luo was also glad that he had accepted some former gladiators who didn't like to talk a lot, otherwise this kind of random words from the people around him would definitely cause some messy things.

After admonishing the people around him, Lao Luo then thought about what he had just dealt with the Turkic envoy. Supposedly, he could have been hypocritical and sent this Mushara away with a smile, but he also knew that he was really not that material, and it was a great thing to be able to resist not screwing off the head of this so-called messenger.

Later, he was forcibly discharged from the military camp, and he traveled abroad for three or five years, how could he not understand political affairs? It's just that it's one thing to understand and understand, and it's another thing to be able to do it.

Negotiation is a purely political product, if it is not for the Turks to hurt, how can there be a deputy governor of the palace as an envoy to negotiate? To put it another way, did the Turks really relent? Equally impossible!

In Lao Luo's eyes, the Turks didn't have any good intentions, this Musala is just here to test and find out, it is better to confuse Lao Luo's attention, can't you? The 70,000 troops that are being assembled behind are not forage-eating.

For Lao Luo, a professional soldier, the wars of all eras can be roughly divided into several levels according to the different intensities, the war of extermination, the war of annihilation, the war of conquest and the war of interests. At the moment, the battle between the Donggui army and the Turks is, to put it bluntly, nothing more than a battle of interests.

The Turks prepared a soft hand and a hard hand, and wanted to swallow the tens of thousands of valuable craftsmen in the Tang camp and many years of accumulation, it is definitely not cost-effective to pay too much, and if the Donggui team is weak, it will be followed by both people and money.

People are good and are bullied, and the country is weak and invaded. No matter when strength is the most important, no matter which era and where it is the case, the swords and guns are stored to raise people's livelihood and wealth can only be fat, cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, the poor army is arrogant, after all, it cannot last, the knife will definitely lack maintenance if the knife is cut too much, and the dark wound is a fatal fence.

Therefore, only by showing their own strength, only when the Turks are hurt, it is best to cut off a piece of the Turkic flesh, and their outstretched hand will be retracted, because although the Ghaznavid people have a great family and a great cause, there are definitely a lot of people around them who are not convinced by them.

At that time, the Donggui team can go on the road lightly, which is Lao Luo's most fundamental plan.
