Chapter 107: More Rogue Than They
After leaving Chang'an, the stubborn man returned to the Turkic military camp, but the Turks did not take the initiative to attack. Because there are too many people with ghosts in Jieli's Turkic army of more than 100,000, no one wants to sacrifice their own people and then attack Chang'an. So this made Turkic Jieli very depressed, in fact, he also hoped to preserve his strength, and then refused to attack Chang'an. If he sacrifices too much, other Turkic leaders will not only not help him, but will take the opportunity to seize the position of this Turkic khan. Because the Turks have no loyalty to speak of, they don't have any nonsense that the king wants to die, and the minister has to die. If their king is weak, they will not hesitate to rebel, which is also the characteristic of the Turks.
However, since Shi Bufan already knew that the centrifugal force inside them was very strong, he was naturally not afraid of these Turks. They each have their own ghosts, and in the face of Chang'an City, they are definitely not willing to pay more strength, and then they just want to pick up the cheap behind their backs. Everyone thinks so, then naturally there will be huge losses, and it will be impossible to draw troops to attack.
Soon, after two days of stalemate between the two sides, Li Tang sent Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the leader, and Shi Bufan, as Tang Jian's interpreter, to the Turkic camp. However, this made the Turks think that they could reap the benefits, and then they all wanted to give Ma Wei.
"Tang Shangshu, I'm afraid that the Turks will give us a dismount this time, when the time comes, you will be optimistic, how will I deal with it." Shi Bufan said.
Tang Jian nodded, because although this time he was nominally focusing on himself, in fact, he was taking Shi Bufan as the main object of discussion, and Shi Bufan was the main person. Tang Jian just wanted this nominal credit, and then accumulate a credit for himself before he retired, so that his descendants could get more benefits. However, in terms of specific matters, it is actually still extraordinary to solve.
The Turks lined up to greet them, and then each of them came with cold blades, and then went straight to show the strength of the army. However, Shi Bufan and Tang Jian also walked in very calmly and directly met the Turkic Khan.
Jieli asked directly: "Are you here to ask for sin?" ”
Shi Bufan replied in Turkmen: "Jieli, on behalf of the Tang Emperor, I am here to announce to you the wealth of various agreements in the future, which will be officially canceled." ”
Hearing Shi Bufan's answer in Turkmen, the Turkic generals around him were also very surprised that they actually knew Turkmen. There are several Turkic languages, and this Turkmen language is actually a Turkic language. However, the Turkic languages are similar and not very different, so they can understand them to some extent. So hearing that a Han Chinese person communicates in such a proficient Turkmen language also shocked them very much.
But when they heard it, Shi Bufan actually said that they would cancel the past tribute, so the Turks were immediately angry. You must know that in the past, Datang promised them to give them wealth and various tributes every year. At that time, in order to be able to solve the problem of the Turks in the rear, Li Yuan had to take out his wealth to pay tribute. But now that the Tang Dynasty is unified, they actually want to abolish this tribute, of course they won't do it.
"You actually dare to abolish the agreement, is it so unruly that you Datang do not abide by the agreement? Are you not afraid of being ridiculed? Someone asked.
Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "Didn't you Turks say that they would not invade our Tang Dynasty in the past?" But is it true that the Turks who loot every year in our Tang Dynasty are fake? ”
"You ......"
Shi Bufan knew that this was actually just an excuse, an excuse to abolish the treaty. Although the Tang Dynasty and the Turks signed a so-called tribute treaty that year, the Turks promised not to invade the Tang Dynasty. But now that Datang wants to abolish it, it is actually easy to find an excuse. Because of the Turkic nature of looting, although they do not loot on a large scale, there are many small-scale "grass valleys". This kind of "fighting grass valley" will be at most a border friction in later generations, but in fact, it cannot be regarded as a war.
However, Shi Bufan used this as an excuse to abolish the treaty and excuse the Turkic invasion, and the Turks had no way. This is just an excuse, and there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. Whenever you want to tear up the treaty, there is always an excuse to find it. This excuse is actually very clumsy, and I am not worried.
"Silk!" A Turkic general took out his sword and directly threatened Shi Bufan.
Shi Bufan said indifferently: "Come on! Towards the cut, you will cut off my head if there is a seed, otherwise you will be a grandson! Cut! If you have the ability, cut it! ”
When the Turkic general heard this, he didn't dare. Because it is easy to cut off the head of Shi Bufan, but the so-called two armies do not cut off when they fight, this is also common all over the world. If he kills Shi Bufan now, it means that he has killed the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, so that the two sides will not die. Killing the messenger would never be tolerated, and of course he knew the consequences.
"Jieli, if you have the ability, you will come and kill me, kill me and Tang Shangshu, so hurry up and attack the city!" Shi Bufan said politely.
Jieli finally couldn't hold back his anger and shouted: "Aren't you afraid that my 200,000 army will attack the city at any time?" When the time comes, your Chang'an blood will flow like a river, aren't you afraid? ”
Shi Bufan slapped the table directly in front of Jieli instead, shouting: "Jieli, if you have a seed, send troops to attack immediately, and then I'll see how you kill our Datang blood." If you have a kind, send me troops immediately, if you don't send troops, you are a grandson! ”
"You ......"
Jieli is really extraordinary for this time, and he feels like a dog biting a hedgehog, and he has no way to put his mouth down. In the past, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty were all polite and polite, looking like a state of etiquette. But Shi Bufan has such a shameless image, and he dares to slap the table directly in front of Jieli, such a messenger from the Central Plains, Jieli has seen it for the first time. Dare to slap the table in front of him, the khan, that is really too bold.
And this Shi Bufan not only did not persuade them to stop attacking, but as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he let Jieli attack Datang. Isn't this a jerk? How could Datang send such an unknown envoy over.
Jieli felt that the past experience of Central Plains officials had also been outright failures. In the past, the officials of the Central Plains were polite and polite, and they would not argue with you at all. There is no such unreasonable troublemaking as Shi Bufan, as if they can't take the initiative to attack.
"Jieli, if you have the ability, attack me, I'm not afraid!" Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan then suddenly overturned the table in front of Jieli.
"Smack!" A large plate of dishes on Jieli's table also fell to the ground.
"Bastard!" Jieli was immediately furious: "You little messenger, how dare you be so rude? Send troops to me, and immediately let the Khan's troops attack me, and I must wash Chang'an in blood! ”
When Tuli heard this, he immediately took the initiative to say: "Khan, I request that your troops be dispatched immediately, and then go to attack Chang'an, and wash Chang'an in blood!" ”
"Yes! Khan, this Tang envoy deceives people too much, please send troops and horses to wash Chang'an in blood! "Yes! The prestige of our Turkic country will not be violated, and we must teach these Han people a lesson! ”……
One by one, the Turks suddenly supported Jieli, but Jieli calmed down when he saw these guys.
"These guys want me to attack, and then I lose men!" Jieli thought.
Shi Bufan saw these Turkic nobles persuading Jieli to attack one by one, could he not know what kind of heart these guys had? These guys can't wait for Jieli to attack in person, so that Jieli can lose his strength, and in the end, they can snatch the Khan's position?
These guys are actually very easy to deal with, and at the moment Shi Bu dares to do so, because he knows that the Turks can't really attack the city. If the Turks want to attack the city, then there will definitely be problems within the Turks. Everyone wants to protect themselves, not to take the initiative to attack the city. The Turks attacked the city, it would not be good for them, but it would be very bad. The Turkic siege of the city was actually the result of the same death as the Tang Dynasty.
Shi Bufan knew the true nature of this matter, in fact, Jieli hoped to attack Datang to alleviate the internal contradictions, and what Shi Bufan wanted to do was to smash a hammer on their already cracked relationship, so that they would be completely divided.
Shi Bufan continued to say directly: "Jieli, aren't you claiming to want to wash Chang'an in blood? You'll come if there's a kind! ”
Jieli couldn't help but pull out his saber and threatened Shi Bufan: "Do you believe it or not, I can kill you?" ”
Shi Bufan instead said: "Jieli, if you have the ability, kill me, you cut it!" If you have a seed, cut it for me, anyway, I'm only bleeding five steps today, but when the time comes, many people will come to bury me. ”
Shi Bufan can be sure that Jieli will not dare to kill him, and if he really kills him, the consequences will not be something Jieli can afford. Because he has a layer of identity as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for this Jieli to have the courage to kill him. killed the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, which means that the Turks and the Tang Dynasty will never die in the future.
The nomads and the Central Plains have always loved and killed each other, and although they have conflicts, they are also close to each other, not the kind of absolute enemies. If Jieli dares to kill them, it will also break this tacit understanding. When the time comes, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will not die, and it is not what the Turks want.
Shi Bufan can be sure that once Jieli kills himself, the final result is that in order to alleviate the contradictions between the Central Plains and the Turks, these Turkic nobles will definitely sacrifice Jieli, and then as the price of reconciliation with the Tang Dynasty.
Shi Bufan knows very well that the king does not seem to have great power, but in fact the king is just the highest representative of the interest group. The emperor is only the representative of the imperial power, and the imperial power is actually the representative of the interest group. As long as he understood this, Shi Bufan could be sure that Jieli would not dare to kill him. Once Jieli dares to kill him, the consequences are not something Jieli can afford.
Jieli took the knife in his hand, but he didn't dare to cut it down, because he knew very well that if he killed Shi Bufan, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, Shi Bufan is so shameless, which makes Jieli hate it very annoying.
"This Tang envoy, why is he so scoundrel, he can't be beaten or scolded, and you can't kill him?" Jie Lidu thought with annoyance in his heart.
Shi Bufan was very calm, although he didn't look at him as being vexatious here, but it was based on the fact that she knew very well that the Turks would not dare to kill him. As for whether this Jieli would kill him impulsively, he wouldn't be worried. If a leader is an impulsive person, then his position is not secure. Only a calm person can be a leader, otherwise even if he is reluctant to be, his position will be unstable.
Jieli won't kill him, that's for sure. As long as we understand the essence of international relations and diplomacy, we will not have any fear. Other ancient officials did not dare to be like this, and they were polite one by one, but it was not appropriate.
In the face of this kind of Turkic people, if you are polite to him, isn't that the opposite of the same? In the face of this kind of Turkic people, you can't be polite with his family, and if you talk politely to him, you will fall into their gang of hooligan logical politeness. When these Turks treated the Han Chinese, they often used hooliganism to gain benefits. Han officials, on the other hand, often received education in various manners and were unable to show their faces as hooligans. But in fact, the best way to deal with a group of hooligans is to be more hooligans than them. Only those who are more hooligans than them, and who is more hooligan against such people.
In international negotiations, whoever is more rogue and who is more shameless will often win in the end. If anyone wants to lose face, then you will often have to suffer. Shi Bufan knows this well, so naturally he won't be polite to them.
Shi Bufan directly played hooligans, and directly came to them to hob meat, not afraid of what they would do to him. Therefore, the Turks suddenly discovered that this envoy of the Tang Dynasty would be so "hooligan", it was completely a hob meat, which made them all have a headache. In the past, they didn't deal with the Central Plains envoys like this, and then their Central Plains envoys were too face-conscious, but they fell into their trap instead.
Shi Bufan also used this kind of hob meat this time, and they also felt more about Xiucai's encounter with soldiers-unreasonable. They really feel that in terms of hooliganism, once the Han people are also hooligans, it will be the most terrible for them.
"Jieli Khan, do you want to kill me? If you don't kill me, then I'll get down to business. Just now it was just an appetizer to exchange feelings with everyone, and now we will officially talk about the abolition of the previous agreement on tribute, and then we can talk about our next relationship with the Turks. In particular, we will trade with the Turks, so that we will be beneficial to both sides. Shi Bufan said.
Those guys feel that Shi Bu is extraordinary, and they are changing too quickly, right? I just said that he looked like a very hooligan, but now he has become such a decent man? This character, what is his true character?
"This guy must be very difficult!" The Turks thought at the same time.
