"You hit me?" Zhao Deyan said angrily.

"What I hate most in my life is Han Jian!" Li Junxian replied very politely.

Zhao Deyan immediately turned around and said to Jieli: "Your Majesty Khan, please pull this Li Junxian down and behead the sacrificial flag." ”

Jieli shook his head and said, "You keep talking." Also, General Li Junxian, you beat our people in front of our Turks, this is not very good for us, right? You have to pay for it, and you have to make it back to us. ”

Now Jieli has fallen into the eye of money, and everything wants money. This time, the Turkic losses were too great, so he wanted more good people, and then he could go back and recover his strength. Although Zhao Deyan was beaten now, Jieli did not think about helping Zhao Deyan take revenge, but wanted to gain benefits through this incident.

"Jieli Khan, I'm here to tell you, you want money, no!" Li Junxian said lightly.

"What do you mean by that?" Jieli asked.

"I mean it very clearly, you want us to give us money in exchange for your withdrawal from the army? This is impossible! As long as I still have a boy in Datang, we won't spend money in exchange for peace. Li Junxian said very righteously.

Jieli's eyes suddenly opened wide, because Li Junxian's answer surprised him very much. Jieli originally thought that Li Shimin, a politician, should be willing to pay some price in exchange for peace, but now Li Junxian actually said that he would not spend money in exchange for peace? What's going on here? It was a surprise to him.

"Li Junxian, don't think that you killed tens of thousands of our Turkic cavalry, just think that our Turkic strength is nothing more than that, are you vegetarian when we are more than 100,000 elite cavalry?" Jieli said angrily.

"I don't know if your more than 100,000 cavalry are vegetarians, but I know that the Khan seems to be very weak in attacking our Chang'an City! Also, as a Huaxia person, I will never allow my Huaxia to spend money to buy peace with the barbarians again? I'd rather fight to the death than spend money on peace in China! Li Junxian also repaid Jieli.

"Li Junxian, aren't you afraid that our Turks will continue to wage war with your Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Deyan interjected.

"If you want to fight, I will fight!" Li Junxian replied.

The scene was suddenly a little cold, and neither Jieli nor Zhao Deyan expected Li Junxian to be so tough and unwilling to compromise. Li Junxian's behavior was very different from the previous behavior of the Han people, and he seemed to be very disgusted with spending money to buy peace. Li Junxian knew that as long as the Han people themselves did not have any internal strife, foreigners would not have a chance to enter the Central Plains. Now Datang is not without hope of winning, at least it can maintain its ability not to lose. Since this is the case, Li Junxian will definitely not allow Datang to spend money in exchange for peace. Think about the Ming Dynasty, even when the army was defeated and the country was about to die, it did not pray for peace to the Manchus, and they were still resolutely resisting the Qing. Now that the Tang Dynasty's advantage over the Ming Dynasty is so strong, why don't you choose to continue fighting, but instead spend money to buy peace?

Li Junxian has the pride of a modern indignant youth, and will never allow Huaxia to compromise with foreign races again. For such aggressors, there is no reason to fight back, and there is no reason to spend money to ask them to go back. If everything is customary this time, if this time the Turks compromise, then the Turks will definitely have to make inches in the future. And as long as Datang withstands the pressure this time, any surrounding nomads will not have the courage to continue to extort in the future. Li Junxian wants to set an example for future generations, and would rather fight to the death with the grassland people than spend money to compromise.

After a long time, Zhao Deyan spoke first: "Khan, please continue to send troops, attack Chang'an, and destroy the Tang Dynasty for me!" ”

Jieli suddenly stared at Li Junxian, as if he wanted to see a frightened look in Li Junxian's eyes. But Jieli was disappointed, Li Junxian was not the slightest bit afraid, but full of excitement.

"Li Junxian, don't you know that if we continue to fight, the people of Datang will be devastated?" Jieli asked.

"If His Majesty Khan is willing to throw the young adults of the entire grassland in Datang, I will accompany Datang to the end!" Li Junxian also returned.

Li Junxian is turning over and blackmailing Jieli, because the Turks have brought almost all the young and middle-aged people. However, the Turks could not compete with the Tang Dynasty because the population of the Turks was too small. If the Turks want to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty, the final result is most likely to be the complete destruction of the Turks and the crippled Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Turks will have no population, and the entire steppe will fall into a vacuum, and the tribes that the steppe is subordinate to the Turks will rebel one after another, and the steppe will set off a chaotic era.

Jieli is not a fool, of course he knows the consequences if he continues to fight for the population. But he just wanted to blackmail Li Junxian just now, but Li Junxian blackmailed him in turn. Now it depends on who can't hold it first, and now the competition is a contest of wills between the two sides, and whoever can't hold the pressure first will completely fall into the disadvantage.

"Then Datang is not afraid of those people behind him?" Jieli asked coldly again.

Jieli's meaning is obvious, that is, there are some ill-intentioned guys behind Datang. If the central direct forces of the Tang Dynasty lose too much here, then those guys who are not dead in thieves will probably continue to want to fight for hegemony. And Jieli saw this, and in turn blackmailed Li Junxian. Now Jieli and Li Junxian are blackmailing each other, to see who can blackmail whom.

Although I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I am even more of a Han Chinese, and I will never allow my Chinese Han people to use money to buy peace again! This is what I have said a long time ago, in my eyes, the dignity of Huaxia is more important than Datang! Li Junxian said very unceremoniously.

Jieli was speechless, he actually met a person who regarded Huaxia as more important than Datang. In ancient times, national consciousness was still in its infancy, and although it existed, it was not very strict. But there are not many people like Li Junxian who clearly say that Huaxia is more important than Datang! Li Junxian's words completely shocked Jieli, because Li Junxian didn't care about the Tang Dynasty at all, he just cared about the national dignity and status of Huaxia.

Jieli also understood that Datang was just a synonym for a political axe in Li Junxian's eyes, and if Datang could not guarantee it, then change to another. For Li Junxian, it doesn't matter what the country is called, as long as it is the national political axe of China. Jieli knew that his idea of using the forces behind Datang to blackmail Li Junxian had completely failed, because Datang was not an important thing to Li Junxian at all.

Blackmailing oneself with something that is not very important to others is clearly doomed to failure.
