The tent was brightly lit, and there was no one else, except for the fifth hand standing beside him, Li Congjing looked at the two Uighur and Tibetan envoys who entered the tent with great interest, and did not say a word with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The Khan was deceived by Shi Jingjiao's clever words, and the army offended His Majesty the Emperor, which was really an unintentional mistake. In fact, the Khan has always admired His Majesty the Emperor and has always wanted to be friendly with the Tang Dynasty. This time the Khan sent troops to Lingzhou, in fact, it was also because Shi Jingjiao said that there were traitors from the Tang Dynasty in Lingzhou, and he wanted to dictate himself, and the Khan led the troops to come in line with the idea of sharing worries for the Tang Dynasty. ”

The Uighur envoy was in his forties, obviously of mixed race, with the shadow of a Han and fluent Chinese, and did not look so hateful, at this time he said bitterly, "The Khan knows that he has made a big mistake, so he wants to make amends." Now that it is clear, Shi Jingjiao is the traitor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Khan, in the spirit of friendship with the Tang Dynasty, is willing to cooperate with the outside to help His Majesty pacify this thief! ”

After he said this, he looked at Li Congjing expectantly, in his heart, Li Congjing should be very happy, because Yao Luo Ge Diyin's proposal not only reduced the Tang army by half of the enemy, but also helped the Tang army deal with Shi Jingjiao, then victory was within reach, how could Li Congjing not be unhappy?

However, the Uighur envoy was disappointed, and Li Congjing, who was behind the royal case, did not have any color on his face, and there was only a slight hint of ridicule in his calm and waveless eyes.

Li Congjing was unpredictable, and the Tubo envoy did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "My Liangzhou was also deceived by Shi Jingjiao, which offended His Majesty the Emperor, and my Liangzhou soldiers and horses are willing to do their best to help His Majesty the Emperor defeat Shi Jingjiao, just to make friends with the Tang Dynasty and live in peace from then on." ”

Hearing this, Li Congjing was finally willing to speak up, but he asked with a smile: "Live in peace?" ”

"Yes! Live in peace! The Tibetan envoy and the Uighur envoy said together, "I, the Uighur Khan, am willing to accept the canonization of the Tang Dynasty and will never violate the borders of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The phrase "accept the canonization" is not without purpose, they accepted the canonization of Hou Liang decades ago.

The envoy said such a thing, completely because these days, they were beaten by the Tang Dynasty forbidden army and suffered heavy losses, seeing that they were about to be defeated, on the one hand, they were convinced, and on the other hand, there was no way, so they wanted to follow the example of their predecessors, seek a peace, and go first.

As for becoming the nominal courtier of the Tang Dynasty, this is not a big deal for them, at least there is no problem of losing face, and as for how to get along with the Tang Dynasty after this successful retirement, it may not be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but keep asking for benefits from the Tang court, such as asking for princesses, asking for rewards, etc., is the proper meaning of the question, they do not commit border robbery, they will lose a lot of income, these incomes naturally need to be compensated in another way, and the Central Plains are mostly willing to spend money to eliminate disasters for border stability. The Uighurs and Tibetans have long been able to figure it out.

After saying such words, the Tibetan and Uighur envoys waited for the Tang Emperor to descend Longen, which in their opinion was a good thing for both sides - to accept foreign races as vassals, which was also a great achievement for the Tang Emperor, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor would also be praised by all the people and leave a long history.

It has to be said that the ethnic integration in the land west of the river at least made them clear about the way of thinking of the Central Plains people, so the Uighur and Tibetan envoys believed that the Tang emperor in front of them would definitely grant their request.

But it's a pity that the current Tang Emperor doesn't have such thoughts.

The playfulness on Li Congjing's face had disappeared, because he saw that the Uighurs and the Tibetan envoys were "determined to win", and his eyes changed to fall into the eyes of the fifth girl, who already had some sarcasm on his face when he looked at the Uighurs and Tibetan envoys - you really didn't know anything about Your Majesty!

"Go back and tell Yao Luo Ge Di Yin and Du Lun Lujia to dedicate the land of Liang, Gan, and Su, and present the civil book with both hands, and then go to Luoyang in white clothes to apologize, I may consider leaving their heads." The words that Li said from Jingjing's mouth caused the Uighurs and Tibetan envoys to open their mouths wide in surprise.

After being stunned for a long time, the Uighur envoy said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I didn't speak clearly enough?" Li Congjing's voice was cold, "Then I might as well put it more bluntly: Liang, Gan, and Su Prefectures, raising troops to invade my borders, plundering my city, and raising swords to kill my people, their deeds are unforgivable, and their crimes cannot be punished!" If you wait for your acquaintance, you will obediently dismantle your armor, sacrifice the city, and ask for guilt, otherwise, my Datang Iron Armor will come overnight, and you will definitely understand what cruelty is! ”

The Uighur and Tibetan envoys looked at each other with incredulous eyes, and their hearts were shocked to the extreme.

The voice of the Tibetan envoy trembled: "Now that the two armies are facing each other, doesn't His Majesty the Emperor want to quickly calm down the war, but want us to wait for the bloody battle to die?" ”

"Bloody battles? All right! Li Congjing's eyes flashed with disdain, "Fight for three more days, and see if your head is still on your shoulder!" ”

The Uighur and Tibetan envoys came with confidence, but they never expected that they would encounter such a basin of cold water. Didn't the Tang Emperor in front of him know that the two armies would inevitably suffer more casualties if they fought again, which would bring huge losses to the Tang army?

For a while, the two were at a loss. The Tang Emperor in front of him is like a tiger, he doesn't pay attention to the food you throw at him, and he must swallow you in one gulp, in this case, how can peace talks continue?

When the Uighur and Ganzhou envoys were speechless, Li Congjing waved his hand and said in a tone like a fly: "What are you still doing standing here, and go back and tell Yao Luo Ge Diyin and Du Lun Lujia of my will, and tomorrow, the two armies will see the victory or defeat in front of the battle." ”

The meaning of these words is that with the combat strength of my forbidden army, there is no need to negotiate conditions with you, I just want to fight! Hit until you throw yourself into the ground, hit until you have no room to fight back, and then go to receive the people of the land who are waiting for you!

Speaking of this, Li Congjing seemed to remember something, the corners of his mouth moved, and his smile was a little treacherous, "Maybe Du Lunlujia still doesn't know that my South Road army has already reached Lanzhou, and it will arrive in Liangzhou in a few days?" ”

......

Seeing Shi Chonggui returning from the tent, the generals gathered in the tent immediately got up and asked with concern and expectation: "The big marshal can accept the young marshal's strategy?" ”

Shi Chonggui walked past the generals with a dark face, sat behind the general's case, took off the horizontal knife and still left it on the desk, "No." ”

"This ......" The generals looked at each other, and their faces were not good-looking.

"The young marshal's strategy is both reasonable and reasonable, and it is a good plan, why doesn't the marshal accept it?" Someone said in a puzzled and indignant tone, and when he said this, the resentment was obvious.

"If the handsome man doesn't listen, there is no way." Shi Chonggui hung his head, thinking of the qi knot, he couldn't help but hit the knot hard.

"It seems that the handsome man is determined to go all the way to the ...... The current situation is like this, the marshal is still stubborn, and our army is only afraid that it will be impossible to escape annihilation......" The person who spoke couldn't help but sigh.

"The forbidden army is brave and brave, the strength of the soldiers is far greater than mine, the strong bow and crossbow and the Mo knife formation are the nemesis of our army, according to the opinion of the last general, the battle will not be three days, our army will be defeated......"

"Not only that, Li Shaocheng in Lingzhou City has also relieved his breath, and he will definitely lead the army out of the city tomorrow, and our army will suffer from the enemy on his back, and the situation is critical!"

"Well, how can this be a good ......?"

Shi Chonggui looked up at the generals and sighed for a long time, and his heart was full of mixed tastes, and it was extremely difficult to feel it.

"When we continue to suffer from the chaos, for the sake of the officers and men of the three armies, according to a certain point of view, it is time for us to take action." It was Yang Guangyuan who said this, and his eyes flashed with fierceness.

"What does General Yang mean?" Shi Chonggui asked in surprise.

"The young marshal's strategy is a good policy, but the marshal can't do it, can't we do it ourselves?" Yang Guangyuan's words were astonishing.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused everyone to discuss.

"Without a military order, how can we act without permission?" Shi Chonggui shook his head.

Yang Guangyuan doesn't think so, he is obviously determined, "The difficult army of the Tang Dynasty is also determined; Shuo Fang Army, Shuo Fang Army of the Tang Dynasty. What does it mean to use the Tang Dynasty's difficult army to attack the Tang Dynasty's Shuo army? That's it, the soldiers and horses of the three states of Liang, Gan, and Su, since the day they entered the country, have burned, killed, looted, and done all kinds of evil, killing my compatriots and harming my people, just like beasts, how can you and I, as Tang people, be in company with them? Ladies and gentlemen, have you not been angry with the evil deeds of the thieves for several days? ”

The people gathered in the tent were all Tang generals and colonels in the Dingyan Army, and they all felt the same way as Yang Guangyuan's words, and they echoed it at the moment.

"As Tang people, how can you and I be embarrassed to collude with other races, kill flesh and blood compatriots, and harm my Tang people? Today, His Majesty's royal expedition can be seen in his determination to calm the border troubles, and dozens of battles in a row, 50,000 forbidden troops let you and me helpless, Your Majesty has 200,000 forbidden troops in his hands, even if you and I survive this time, what will happen in the future? ”

Yang Guangyuan continued, and at the end, his eyes were like electricity, "Now that the defeat of the army has been decided, if you don't take this last opportunity to lead the soldiers to kill the thieves together and make a small contribution to the Tang Society, are you still waiting for the coming day, you and I are all added by swords and axes, and the relatives are also charged with treason, and they hate Jiuquan?!" ”

His words won the hearts of the people, and the generals vied with each other to express their approval.

Shi Chonggui was silent for a long time, "How does the general want to act?" ”

"Take the handsome account, carry out the handsome order! Otherwise, it is not enough to command the three armies! Yang Guangyuan said firmly.

Shi Chonggui's heart was like a knife, and his facial features were tangled in one place, "Has the matter reached the point where it has to be like this?" ”

"Otherwise, neither you nor I can live!" Yang Guangyuan gritted his teeth and said, seeing Shi Chonggui's painful expression, he paused, sighed, his tone was heavy, and there was a sense of enlightenment, "The young marshal should know that this world is no longer the world dominated by the feudal towns, but the world unified by the imperial court...... If it had been placed in the past, the feudal town might have been able to stand on its own, and our soldiers would have been willing to die to serve the commander, but now, if they can't serve the court, I'm afraid they can really only die. ”

Shi Chonggui lowered his head and was silent, he knew that this was the truth, this was the general trend of the world today, and finally sighed and said: "If you make the Dingyan army kill the thief, then plead with Your Majesty, and the handsome may be saved from death......"

Yang Guangyuan and the others looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

"This is the only way to go." Shi Chonggui finally made up his mind, "But even if you win the commander's account, you have to order the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and you have to cooperate with the two generals Liu Zhiyuan and Du Chongwei......

As soon as he finished saying this, his own soldiers entered the account to report, saying that Liu Zhiyuan asked to see him.

After Liu Zhiyuan entered the tent, he looked at the formation in the tent and the demeanor of everyone, and said directly: "The young marshal has an order, and the last general is willing to die!" ”
