Chapter 77: Peace Talks (4)
"Li Junxian, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was ordered to come over and negotiate peace with the Turkic Khan." Li Junxian shouted at the gate of the Turkic camp.
The Turkic soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but clench the weapons in their hands, because the name Li Junxian had become a nightmare for the Turks. Since the attack on the Tang Dynasty, almost all casualties have been brought by Li Junxian. Tens of thousands of young adults died at the hands of Li Junxian, and now Li Junxian's reputation has spread throughout the hearts of Turkic soldiers, becoming a nightmare-like existence.
The Turkic soldiers hurriedly went back to report to the Khan, because Li Junxian had come to negotiate peace, and these soldiers could not call the shots.
Not long after, Jieli Khan actually came out in person, and when he saw Li Junxian at the door, his face seemed to be eager to kill Li Junxian. However, Li Junxian did not look at Jieli in a hurry, and did not take Jieli's gaze seriously. If Jieli is really that kind of reckless character in the grassland, I'm afraid Li Junxian is still worried that his life is in danger. But Jieli is a figure with the thinking of a politician, so Li Junxian is not worried that Jieli will kill him.
"Is this your hospitality, Khan Jieli?" Li Junxian asked lightly.
"Hmph, General Li is so bold that he dares to come to us." Jieli also asked rhetorically.
"I'm here for peace talks, and I don't think Jieli Khan would do such a rude thing as killing envoys, right? What's more, Jieli Khan, you should know the situation of the Turks, and I am afraid that it will not be beneficial for anyone to continue the war now, if His Majesty the Khan kills me, then I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have only one way to continue to fight to the death. Li Junxian also replied.
"Please!" Jieli made a gesture of invitation and said.
Li Junxian directly entered the Turkic camp, and he first observed these Turkic soldiers, who were full of complicated emotions when they looked at him. Li Junxian found that some of these Turkic soldiers felt terrified when they saw them. Some feel hatred, some do worship. The reason for this is because the grassland people respect the strong, and Li Junxian can kill tens of thousands of them, that is an absolute strong. The ancient steppe peoples are very similar to the later generations of Yue himself, the more you beat them badly, the more they dare not do anything to you, and the more they respect you. This may be caused by the lack of etiquette and morality, as well as the inferiority of the cultural level, which makes the inferiority in their hearts and the worship of the strong together.
Li Junxian entered the tent of the Turkic Khan, and Jieli asked condescendingly: "General Li, this time the Tang Dynasty intends to sue for peace with my Turks, how much wealth do you plan to pay?" In addition, in the future, the tribute paid by the Tang Dynasty to the Turks will also be doubled, which is the compensation for your request for peace with us. ”
Li Junxian scolded secretly in his heart: "This Jieli can really reverse black and white, obviously you took the initiative to ask our Datang for peace, but as soon as I came, it became Datang to ask you for peace?" You old thing was born in the wrong place, you super politician should have come to our Han officialdom as a civil official, why did you run away to be a khan? How can the steppe nomads, who are known for their rudeness and straightforwardness, come up with you, a politician, as the leader, this is our misfortune! ”
"Your Majesty Khan, it seems that you took the initiative to sue for peace, right?" Li Junxian asked rhetorically.
"Bump!" "We Turks still have more than 100,000 elites, how can we ask you for peace?" Jieli slapped the small table fiercely and said angrily.
"Since His Majesty the Khan is not willing to make peace, then I will go back and prepare for war! See you on the battlefield! None of us Tang Dynasty boys are afraid of death. Li Junxian arched his hand and said.
Li Junxian was about to leave, and Jieli looked at Li Junxian who was about to leave with dementia. Originally, Jieli thought that this time the Han people wanted to negotiate far more than Jieli, but Li Junxian's behavior surprised Jieli very much. Li Junxian actually left without saying a word, and he didn't look like he wanted to ask Rao to negotiate at all. It seems that Li Junxian is eager to fight this battle, but this makes Jieli a little tired.
Li Junxian slowly stepped out of Jieli's tent, he was already thinking in his heart for a few seconds, secretly wondering when Jieli would call him back. Li Junxian is actually blackmailing Jieli, he thinks that the Turks will not be able to fight anymore, and now the so-called negotiations are just to see who can blackmail whom.
"One, two, three, four...... One hundred, one hundred and one......" Li Junxian secretly counted in his heart.
Li Junxian actually counted to more than a hundred, but Jieli didn't call him back, and Li Junxian also knew that now was the time to compete for spiritual will, and whoever couldn't help it first would fall behind. Li Junxian walked directly to the gate of the Turkic camp, he knew that if he stepped out of the camp, then this conflict with the Turks would have to be resolved by war.
"General Li, Khan please go back!" A Turkic soldier shouted.
"Two hundred, two hundred and one ......" Li Junxian had already counted more than two hundred in his heart, and he couldn't help but be very nervous, he was also a little scared, did this Jieli not think about peace talks at all, just to appease the nobles of the tribe?
Li Junxian breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Jieli couldn't hold it in the first place, so he actually sent someone to stop him. Li Junxian also knew that the Turks really couldn't hold on, and they also wanted peace talks. The population of the Turks is so large, if there is one less, it will be very difficult to replenish it. And the population of the Han people is ten times that of them, and even with the tactics of crowds, they can be piled to death. Population superiority has always been a core means for the Han people to fight against the grassland peoples, relying on the number of people to fight against the grassland peoples.
And Li Junxian entered the Khan's camp this time, and he found that there were many people around, these were many Turkic nobles, and there was also a person dressed as a Han Chinese. Li Junxian knew that the Turks were using the number of people to cause Li Junxian's psychological pressure, which might have a very good effect. Li Junxian was only one person, and the Turks thought they could overwhelm him with great confidence.
"Zhao Deyan, this time you come to talk to General Li Junxian instead of me. You are Han Chinese, and you should know a lot about Han people, so you can talk about it. Jieli said.
"Your Majesty the Khan, the ministers are commanded!" The Han man walked over.
That Zhao Deyan walked in front of Li Junxian and said lightly: "Li Junxian, your opponent this time is me, I want to see if your mouth is as good as your soldiers!" ”
"You are Zhao Deyan?" Li Junxian asked.
"It's me! I am a close minister of His Majesty Khan, Zhao Deyan! Zhao Deyan replied.
"Smack!" Li Junxian gave Zhao Deyan a slap in the face.
