Li Hong secretly pinched a cold sweat for Pei Xingjian.

This Li Yifu is really not a good stubble, Pei Xingjian has been so careful, but he was still caught by Li Yifu.

In any case, Ashina Funian is a Turkic khan, albeit a puppet!

The meaning of Li Yifu's words is clear, referring to Pei Xingjian's secret collusion with Ashina Fu Nian......

If it were a simple-minded person, I am afraid that I would not be able to hear the deep meaning of these words, but it is obvious that Pei Xingjian is not such a simple person.

After just a moment of silence, Pei Xingjian's face calmed down, and he turned to Li Zhi and said.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, every negotiation between the minister and Ashina Fu Nian is attended by the prison army, and there is nothing beyond the limit, not to mention that it was Ashina Fu Nian who first sent a secret letter to my Tang Dynasty, asking for peace! It's not a matter of arguing! As for knowing about it, just ask a few Turkic nobles to know! In private, the minister has no friendship with Ashina Fu Nian! ”

Pei Xingjian knew in his heart that Li Yifu's words were a soft knife.

On the surface, it will not cause him any damage, but as the commander of the Western Expedition, fornicating with the enemy chieftain, even if it is a matter of discussing peace, it will also arouse suspicion.

Especially these two on the throne, if they make them suspicious, it is the most fatal thing!

But fortunately, in the process of negotiating with Ashina Fu Nian, Pei Xingjian also took this into account and brought the prison army with him, and the prison army was Li Zhi's confidant, so he was naturally trustworthy.

Li Hong also raised his heart, held his breath, and looked at Li Zhi and Empress Wu.

After a while, Li Zhi spoke.

"Aiqing's loyalty is naturally trustworthy, Aiqing doesn't have to worry, just tell the truth clearly!"

The tone was calm, with a hint of comfort.

It's just that his face is still calm, and people can't guess how much of this is true.

However, Li Hong's heart was relieved.

Looking at Li Zhi's expression, there should be no suspicion, otherwise the current situation would not be like this!

"Obey the order!"

Pei Xingjian secretly pinched a cold sweat, and when he turned around, he saw a trace of gloom flashing on Li Yifu's face.

After a moment, Li Yifu continued to ask.

"Since that's the case, please ask General Pei to tell me about Ashina's surrender!"

There was a bit of unwillingness in his tone.

However, Li Yifu's attitude also made Pei Xingjian angry, no matter what, he was the commander of the Western Expedition Army, but now Li Yifu treated him like a prisoner, so how could he not be angry.

However, considering the current occasion and situation, Pei Xingjian had to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, sorted out his language, and spoke.

"After the victory of our army in Montenegro, the Turkic Department fled to the vicinity of Wolf Mountain, because the logistics did not arrive, the old man had to do some tricks and send scouts to spread rumors in Daizhou and other places to shake the hearts of the enemy."

Speaking of this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes, and he paused and continued.

"A few days later, a secret envoy came, claiming to be ordered by the Turkic Khan to have a detailed discussion with the old man face to face!"

"And then, General Pei believed him?"

Li Yifu asked.

"Of course not, although that person brought a token of Ashina Fu Nian, how could the old man be so gullible!"

Pei Xingjian shook his head and spoke.

At that time, the old man received the envoy for the sake of the Khan's token, but he did not easily believe his intention to sue for peace! So the old man proposed that if he really wanted to negotiate peace, he would let Ashina Funian talk about it in person! ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were stunned for a while.

Without him, Pei Xingjian's request was indeed excessive.

In any case, Ashina Funian is a Turkic khan, theoretically a person at the same level as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and although Pei Xingjian is the commander of the 300,000 army, he has always been a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and sending a heavyweight envoy is enough to save face, but Pei Xingjian's proposal to let Ashina Funian come to the door to talk in person is simply insulting the other party!

Besides, who is Ashina Funian? Khan of the Turks! Even if he is just a puppet, his every move will be followed by the forces within the Turks, and even if he is willing to deign to come, I am afraid that he will not be able to do so.

If it weren't for the fact that the wood was now in the boat, Ashina Funian was already on his way back to Beijing with the army, and the ministers present almost believed that this negotiation would come to an end.

Li Hong nodded secretly in his heart.

Pei Xingjian came to this point, which can be regarded as a clear relationship with Ashina Fu Nian, firstly, it was not that he took the initiative to seek peace, and secondly, he had already put forward such harsh conditions, which was enough to prove his innocence!

"So, Ashina Fu Nian agreed?"

Li Yifu's face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask expressionlessly.

"That's right!"

Pei Xingjian said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Soon after the envoy returned, Ashina Fu Nian drove lightly and took two entourages to the old man's Chinese army tent late at night!"

Thinking of having such courage, Ashina Fu Nian is not comparable to ordinary people......

Li Hong said secretly in his heart.

"Hmph, so the general accepted Ashina's letter of surrender?"

Li Yifu snorted coldly and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Of course not!"

Pei Xingjian came back to his senses, sorted out his thoughts and said.

At that time, Ashina Fu Nian proposed that he was willing to be a vassal to my Tang Dynasty forever in the name of the Turkic Khan, on the condition that my Tang Dynasty needed to help him clear the power of Ashide Fuwen within the Turks! Help him sit in the sweat seat! ”

After a pause, Pei Xingjian sneered.

"But at that time, our army was in the midst of a great victory, how could the old man agree to the peace so easily, and the old man sternly rejected him at that time!"

This made the ministers present wonder for a while, since they refused, how could there be such a scene!

"But didn't it end up negotiated?"

Li Yifu's ill-intentioned voice sounded just right, asking the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Pei Xingjian sighed and said with a bitter face.

"That's because our army was defeated that night......"

Li Hong was shocked, this matter had never been mentioned in the military newspaper.

"Although the two armies fought without slashing, Ashina Funian had a special identity after all, and the old man detained him that night, but not long after, our army was robbed! Although there were not many people who came, they all had excellent martial arts, and although they did not cause too many casualties to our army, they successfully robbed Ashina Funian! ”

Pei Xingjian's face changed for a while, obviously this incident made him feel very frustrated.

"At that time, the old man knew that Ashina Fu Nian still had such a secret force in his hands, and once this force joined the battle, although it was difficult to reverse the tide of the war, it would definitely cause a large number of casualties among our soldiers and soldiers, so the old man had to reconsider the matter of peace!"
