100,000 elite soldiers, this is cavalry, not the Tang Dynasty's government soldiers, they are very strong in battle, as long as they command properly, they can properly defeat the 200,000 foot soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but such a hundred battles of elite cavalry was despised by Li Hong. An Lai has an urge to vomit blood, do you really not know the combat power and lethality of 100,000 elite horsemen, or are you deliberately teasing me?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you think that the Tang Dynasty's troops in the Western Regions can resist 100,000 Tibetan elite cavalry?" At this moment, An Lai was no longer dirty, so he asked bluntly.

The meaning of his words is already obvious, that is, if Datang does not agree to his request, 100,000 Tubo elite cavalry will send troops to the Western Regions.

Gaozong and Empress Wu, as well as the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace, were all taken aback when they heard An Lai say this. If the 100,000 elite cavalry of Tubo really wants to send troops to the Western Regions, then the Tang Dynasty has spent tens of millions of dollars and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the Western Regions, which has been able to operate for decades, has not become the meat in Tubo's mouth?

Although this piece of meat in the Western Regions is a bit chicken ribs, it is still meat after all, how can it be given to Tibet?

Therefore, Gaozong and Empress Wu and the ministers meant that they could exchange a small price for a period of peace, and give them whatever the Tibetans wanted, as long as they could give up their plans to attack the Western Regions!

This is the reason why he is ready to negotiate with An Lai, but now that he has been messed up by Li Hong, how can they not be anxious.

Suddenly, at this moment, Li Ji spoke, "Ambassador An, does Tubo really want to send 100,000 troops to the Western Regions?" ”

He was a veteran in the army, and his murderous aura was hard to match, but now he was staring at An Lai coldly, and the murderous aura on his body was emanating, and An Lai felt that he was a little short of breath.

An Lai is also a person who has seen the world and experienced strong winds and waves, and he was not afraid of Li Ji's threat at all, but said in a competitive manner, "British Duke, do you think there is a problem?" ”

"Aren't you Tubo afraid of the Tang Sixteen Guards?" Li Ji couldn't help it, when the ambassador of the Fanbang vassal country was so angry that he dared to contradict him, even His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty had to treat him with a few courtesies.

"The Tang Dynasty is in a bitter battle with Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla on the battlefield in the northeast, how many troops do you still have in the Western Regions?" When it comes to the strength of the Tang Dynasty, An Lai's momentum is sufficient, if Tubo hadn't investigated the Tang Dynasty's military defense very clearly, would he dare to be so arrogant in front of the Tang Dynasty? "The British Duke must know that 100,000 Tubo elite cavalry is comparable to 200,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that Tubo has more than 100,000 elite cavalry."

Because Li Ji oppressed people with his power, which stimulated the bloody nature of An Lai's body, what he said began to become unscrupulous. After all, no matter how familiar An Lai is with the culture and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how much he talks like a Tang person, he is still a Tubo person, and he still has the belligerent blood of the Tubo people flowing in his bones, so if you want to overwhelm people with power, you have to have this strength to convince him. It is clear that Li Ji did not do this.

Li Hong frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but he didn't speak again, but continued to hand over the right to speak to Li Ji, and let Li Ji and An Lai compete against each other, who let Li Ji have to come out and stimulate An Lai's blood. Today is the negotiation of the Tibetan people, no matter what the result will be after the negotiation meeting, he will bear it with all his might, and he will be responsible for it to the end. But now that you, Li Ji, suddenly joined in, what's the matter!

And the ministers on the Tang side are now looking at Li Ji, because now they have pinned their hopes on Li Ji, because the negotiation between the prince and the Tubo delegation just now obviously disappointed them. As for Gaozong and Empress Wu, they also have the same thoughts, that is, they don't want to fall out with Tubo at this time, so as to make Datang fall into a two-front battle situation, so the two of them are also ready to compromise with Tubo.

"Anlai, don't deceive people too much!" Li Ji shouted.

Now that the two sides have talked about the poor dagger, there is no need for the two sides to continue pretending. Besides, Li Ji is not such a person, otherwise he would not have used his power to suppress people just now.

"British duke, it's so unfair for you to say this, who is deceiving people too much?" An Lai said angrily, "Who is the person who forced our Tubo princess to enter the East Palace with our Tubo princess as a bet?" Sang Ying was framed and put in prison, whose fault is this? Isn't it clear to you about all this? Our Tubo mission didn't care about coming to Datang for thousands of miles, and we didn't stay for a few days before we were treated so politely by you. Who do you say is deceiving people too much? ”

An Lai's words pointed the finger directly at Li Hong, and his meaning was obvious, he was forced to do it all by Li Hong. And the reason why he said this was because he saw that Li Hong suddenly lost his right to speak during the negotiation process, and he felt that Li Hong's status in the Xuanzheng Palace would not be too high, so he blamed everything on Li Hong.

This is a technique in negotiation, blaming the other party for all the mistakes and making it impossible for the other party to refute them.

Li Ji was speechless for a moment, because what An said was not wrong, Li Hong had indeed done these things, but Li Hong was the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all, and he dared to say Li Hong's in the Xuanzheng Palace, didn't he? No way. Does he dare to admit that Li Hong has done it in the Xuanzheng Palace? This is also impossible.

Therefore, at this time, Li Ji didn't know how to refute An Lai, he could only snort coldly and not speak.

Li Ji didn't speak, and the ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence. It was the first time that Gaozong and Empress Wu had encountered this situation, and no one dared to speak when the Tang Dynasty ministers faced the Tibetan mission.

Actually, it's not that everyone has nothing to say, but everyone knows that this matter is very tricky, and it's not for them to interfere, and a bad one will cause right and wrong, so everyone chose to be silent.

At this time, everyone remembered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the protagonist of this negotiation, and moved their eyes to Li Hong.

Li Hong sneered in his heart, everyone was optimistic about Li Ji when Li Ji and An Lai competed against each other just now, and now Li Ji only remembered himself when he stopped cooking, you people are too different things, right?

Besides, during the negotiation just now, Li Ji let An Lai take the lead, and let An Lai say that Sang Ying was framed before he was imprisoned, which disrupted Li Hong's idea of using Sang Ying's killing as an excuse to find a breakthrough, and now Li Hong even if he uses this as an excuse to negotiate with An Lai, the effect will definitely not be too good, which makes Li Hong fall into passivity in the negotiation process.

Li Hong knew everyone's thoughts, but at this time he chose to be silent. He wanted to see what Gaozong and Empress Wu meant, whether he still wanted to let himself continue to talk, or whether he was ready to compromise with Tubo now. He is not a person who does not know the general situation, but if he can't get the guarantee of Gaozong and Empress Wu here, talking about Li Ji's situation again, and then disrupting his plan, no matter how perfect the opportunity in his heart is, it will not help!
