Li Jingxuan had already spread the news of Tubo's defeat to Chang'an, and Tubo over there also knew about their defeat.

However, the influence of this battle is far more than that, and even the Turks, Daeshi, Silla, and Liuzhao have already received news. All countries were very surprised by the new weapons adopted by the Tang Dynasty in this battle, and at the same time began to take a series of measures to deal with the next situation.

This battle is destined to change the pattern of the East Asian world.

What the Tibetans had to do was much simpler, surrender was their only choice. And the conditions of surrender are the only things they have to consider.

It's snowing, and before I know it, more than a month has passed, and it has reached the cold winter wax moon, and the cold wind in the north of the country makes Li Shan shiver a little, but for the time being, he can't go back to the house to drink wine and eat meat by leaning on the brazier.

Because there was a minister from Chang'an, for the sake of this negotiation with Tubo.

A convoy stopped in front of Li Shan, and a person got out of the car, it was the minister of the Qin Mission this time, Zhang Jiuling.

"Haha, Li Shanxian's nephew, the wind and snow in Saibei are very abrasive, I see that you have lost weight. When I go back, your mother can't feel distressed to death. ”

This time Zhang Jiuling has full authority to handle the negotiation matters, which shows that Tang Xuanzong has already made a conclusion about this incident, it depends on how to talk, Li Shan does not want to care too much, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in half a month, and he still wants to go home early.

"Uncle Zhang, come, please go to the house, the general has prepared soju and fat chicken for you to wash the dust. The Tibetan envoy has also arrived in Liangzhou. ”

Zhang Jiuling nodded, and pulled Li Shan to walk towards the barracks together.

It is already the third day of negotiations, and the parties have already talked many times about their terms.

"On behalf of the Tibetan Zampu, I would like to state our final conditions:

First, we can't promise to pay an annual tribute of 10,000 cattle and sheep and 100,000 taels of silver to the Tang Dynasty for ten consecutive years, but we can pay tribute to 1,000 horses of cattle and sheep and 10,000 taels of silver every year for a hundred years.

Second. The Tibetans would recognize Tang dominance in the Hexi Corridor, including near the Dafeichuan River. We agreed to free trade in the Hexi Corridor and promised not to interfere for twenty years.

Third, our Prince Zampu is willing to make peace with the Tang Dynasty.

Fourth, the Tibetans are vassals to the Tang Dynasty, but Zampu is old and has old diseases, so it is inconvenient to move around, so we can send our prince to meet the Tang Emperor and negotiate peace matters. ”

Li Shan listened to the conditions of the Tibetan envoy. sneered, such conditions do not change the soup without changing the medicine, there is no sincerity at all. Now Li Shan even thinks that it doesn't matter what he does, he directly waves his army to attack Luosuo, and when the time comes, he will see if Tubo will dare to be arrogant.

Zhang Jiuling pondered for a long time and said with a smile: "Okay, we agree to Tubo's conditions." ”

At this point, Li Shan couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiuling with wide eyes, he never thought that Zhang Jiuling would agree. Zhang Jiuling is fully responsible for the negotiations. In fact, what he meant was also what Tang Xuanzong meant, that is to say, Tang Xuanzong's conditions were so low.

Li Shan wanted to speak, but Zhang Jiuling didn't stop him with his eyes. It was only after signing a contract with the Tibetan envoy and sending the Tibetan envoy away. Li Shan couldn't hold back any longer.

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on? Such conditions in Tubo are simply changing the soup without changing the medicine, paying tribute for a hundred years, and it is light to say. This shows the ambition of the Tibetan wolves, they will definitely not be able to settle down for a hundred years, or even within twenty or thirty years, they will definitely make a comeback. The Hexi Corridor was originally the boundary of my Tang Dynasty. And use him to recognize our dominance? These conditions are all flashy, and I don't think there is any sincerity in Tibet. ”

Li Shan was already filled with righteous indignation when he said that, if Zhang Jiuling hadn't signaled him not to move at that time, he would have turned his face in front of the Tibetan envoy.

Zhang Jiuling sighed and said, "I don't know what you said, before I came this time, the emperor convened the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss for three days just for this matter." However, in fact, we really don't have much to do with Tibet. Although the Dafeichuan area is a very advantageous location, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and they are all Tubo people, even if it is given to us, but in fact it is still under the control of Tubo, as for the matter of tribute, the emperor also thinks that it cannot be forced too quickly, Tubo is very poor, if they are allowed to bleed hemorrhage all of a sudden, it is difficult to ensure that they do not jump over the wall in a hurry. ”

"What about them jumping? I'm afraid that they won't succeed, so it's a big deal to fight them directly. Li Shan was unimpressed.

Zhang Jiuling shook his head and said: "Things are not so simple, with the current military, manpower, and material resources of our dynasty, it will take a lot of effort to take Tubo, and the hard bone of Tubo is tasteless, and capturing him will not only have no benefit, but will plunge my dynasty into endless wars." And there are Turkic, six edicts, and big food waiting for the opportunity to move. The emperor really doesn't want to see the scene of our court's reckless military force. ”

Li Shan also sighed, in fact, he has learned some things one after another these days. Although Tang Xuanzong wanted to take Tibet in one go, the Tang Dynasty had gradually lost the mind of expansion after years of foreign conquest.

Although the Hexi Corridor was the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there were many ethnic minorities, and the degree of assimilation with the Han people was relatively low, and the racial hostility between them was serious.

The Tang Dynasty also focused on the theme of stable development, and most of the frontiers wanted to take a defensive posture rather than attack. After all, although the Tang Dynasty has achieved dominance in this part of Xinjiang, it has only just been obtained, and it will take longer for the territory to be stabilized.

Li Shan also realized that his previous thoughts were a little too naïve, land is not something you can ask for, just like the Yuan Dynasty hit Europe at that time, but the result was not beaten back.

It is not easy to annex and assimilate a piece of land, and it is not overnight that China has expanded to this point over thousands of years. Everything has to be done slowly.

At present, Tubo can only be treated as a neighboring country, and in the eyes of Tang Xuanzong, he has never regarded Tubo as his own territory. And Li Shan regarded him as a Tibetan Autonomous Region, so he was a little in a hurry.

"Alright, don't worry about these things anymore. It's not up to you to take care of it, you have made a great contribution this time, and the emperor will definitely reward you heavily. Let's hurry up and finish the things here, hurry up and go to Beijing. The people in your family think about you, but you are good, you haven't written a letter for so long, and when I came, your mother specially told me to teach you a good lesson. ”

Li Shan stopped Zhang Jiuling and remembered that there were too many things during this time, so he forgot about it. Before leaving, I said that I would write a letter once a month, but I was about to go back, and I didn't write a single letter, thinking that my family might be worried.

Li Shanzhen didn't want to stay here for a moment, he just wanted to go back quickly. (To be continued.) )
