Section 78 The Holy One does not allow it

But if we can't find the prisoners to exchange, then we have to be prepared to sacrifice our soldiers and civilians, and this is war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info - Zhang Xiaojie

The letter was delivered to Yuan Zhixin's hand, and after reading it, Zhixin was deeply moved, put down the letter, and said to Zhao Zhenwei: "You go back and tell General Liu, I will do my best to facilitate this matter in front of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Yes, Gen-sama."

Emperor Li Zhi went to court, and after the ministers finished their discussions, Li Zhi said: "Recently, I heard that the ministers in various places have put forward some good suggestions for governing the country. ”

"Long live my emperor." Baiguan Road.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own duties, the Western Turks have become more and more rampant recently, the casualties of our soldiers have increased, and innocent people have also been implicated, so we must take preventive action as soon as possible." Straight heart.

Prime Minister Gao Jifu asked: "Does Yuan Shangshu mean to strengthen armaments?" ”

"It's necessary."

"Didn't you oppose yesterday's proposal to increase the number of troops by 50,000?" Lao Gao has always been on the wrong path with Zhixin, and he will never let go of the opportunity to take eye medicine.

"How could I object to raising troops to defend the Tang Dynasty, at that time I just questioned that he didn't have a specific implementation plan."

"So, do you have a specific implementation plan?" Emperor Li Zhi asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have asked for a friendly relationship with the Western Turks, and we must accept them as if they were any other brother." Straight heart.

Zhongshu Ling Chu Suiliang continued: "This is exactly what Weichen meant, understand them carefully, and find a way to appease them." ”

"Then do you want me to shake hands with those Turkic barbarians who have never surrendered to my Celestial Empire and the Tang Dynasty?" Li Zhi was very skeptical.

"Your Majesty, the best strategy in military strategy is not to send soldiers to war, but to soften the enemy's fighting consciousness." Zhixin persuaded him.

"It's ridiculous, then the Western Turkic barbarians have always refused to recognize the status of our Emperor Majesty's Heavenly Khan, how can we accept them?" Gao Jifu disdainfully said.

"But if we continue to use troops against them, the resentment between the two sides will only get deeper and deeper, and the most painful thing is the suffering of the people, doesn't the prime minister know?" Fight with reason.

"Hmph, the Western Turks are just a rabble."

"They used to be a powerful nomadic country, Your Majesty, the divided Turks may be weaker, but if one day the Eastern and Western Turks merge into one, then their power cannot be ignored, so we must devote energy to building good relations with each other, please Your Majesty be aware of it." Zhixin is still bitter and honest.

"No, Your Majesty, Yuan Shangshu's worries are groundless, and diplomacy with the enemy country can only be done on the premise of the other party's tribute, blood for blood, tooth for tooth This is the national policy that Datang has always treated the enemy."

"Your Excellency, please think again."

"If there is a reward, it should be rewarded to the soldiers to boost their morale, so that the northern border will be stable, and the little Western Turks will not be able to make any waves." Lao Gao continued.

"I also agree, no matter how strong the Turks are, they are still a group of nomadic barbarians, and they will never be able to enter Huaxia, and I don't feel the need to worry too much."

On the border, it was winter, and a group of Tang troops were roasting the fire, and suddenly saw Wei Hong and others coming over.

Wang Ying of the Tang Army hurriedly asked Wei Hong: "Vice General Wei, have you found the prisoners exchanged?" ”

"Be patient, I'm sure there will be good news soon." The soldier on the side, Cao Zhuangyu, said.

"There's no news yet, but the date agreed with the Turks is approaching." Captain Zhang Zhengcong said.

"I said it a long time ago, General Liu doesn't know the situation here, I haven't seen that person taken away and can come back alive. I'm not pouring cold water, I'm just telling the truth. Soldier Jiang Kun said.

"I agree with what Lao Jiang said, don't you mind, Wei Juan is good to everyone, we just feel frustrated and worried." Soldier Kong Ling comforted Ma Dongdao.

Ma Dong said anxiously: "Vice General Wei, we have to do something, otherwise we will lose Wei Juan, as long as you give the order, we will ......"

"I understand your feelings, but be patient, I believe that General Liu is as anxious as we are, he keeps running between the Anxi Protectorate and the various Protectorates, and he also writes to Chang'an, at least wait for the messenger to come back from Chang'an, and then make plans." Xiao Zhuang persuaded.

Xiao Wei shook his head and left sullenly.

Zhao Zhenwei brought back a straight reply. After reading it, Ren Liang asked, "Is this really a reply from Yuan Shangshu?" ”

"Yes, General."

"Don't they understand that if the court refuses to negotiate peace, if we continue to attack the Turks, it will only lead them to resist more strongly? I know this is a border stopper, but I'm still a member of His Majesty's people. How could he be so indifferent? Ren Liang said indignantly.

Ren Liang walked out of the camp tent and saw that Xiao Wei led hundreds of soldiers to gather outside.

Wei Hong said: "We have all heard, we tried General Liu's way, but it didn't work at all, now we have to use our way, even if we die, we have to fight." ”

"Don't be impulsive."

"I have to give it a try, I can't give up on my sister without doing anything."

"That's right, please don't stop us." Ma Dong Road.

"Don't be impulsive, I'll go to the Anxi Protectorate Camp now." Ren Rail dissuaded.

"General, we are fighting with the enemy, and we can't just talk about it." Xiao Wei said anxiously.

"I said, wait first, there are disobedient orders, beheaded, do you understand?"

After speaking, Ren Liang took his own soldiers to find Zhang Xiaojie, the general of the Tunwei.

"What do you mean, do you want me to beg the enemy for mercy?" Zhang Xiaojie took the case and started to fight for benevolence.

"We're less than a week away from the agreed date, and we haven't done anything we promised."

"Be careful when you speak, I didn't promise anything at the beginning, it was all promised by yourself." Lao Zhang naturally pushed it all away.

"General Zhang, please give Your Majesty a lecture on the situation here, Your Majesty may not understand the actual situation here at all."

"Enough, when can you be less idealistic?"

"The holy decree promulgated by His Majesty is exactly what I think, and it is impossible to negotiate peace." As he spoke, Lao Zhang also took out the holy decree.

"General."

"On the appointed day, I will find some prisoners to exchange hostages, but if we can't find the prisoners for exchange, then we have to be prepared to sacrifice our soldiers and civilians, this is war."

Li Jinghan led the soldiers to break into the home of a family surnamed Du in Lvye Town, a small town on the border, Jinghan pulled out his war knife and said to Du Zi: "Tell us, where are those Turks?" ”

"What do you mean, Officer?" Du Zi said tremblingly.

"I know you're a spy of the Turks, so don't pretend anymore."

"No, you're mistaken, I'm not."

"Search for me!" Jing Han waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

As a result, two otter skins were soon found under Lao Du's bed.

Otters are only produced in the steppe lakes four hundred miles away from Lvye Town, which is already the sphere of influence of the Turks, and ordinary merchants will not come to this town to sell and trade otters, and the value of otter skins is not low.

"Say, did you exchange our intelligence and the Turks for these two otter skins?" Jing Han said viciously, exuding an extremely heavy murderous aura from his body.
