"Alright, don't say anything more this time! This time it was my idea, to exchange the money from the treasury for peace. However, if we can spend less, of course, we must spend less, and we are not two hundred and five. Which of you would like to take a trip to the Turkic camp for me? Li Shimin said.

When everyone saw Li Shimin say this, they didn't dare to argue anything. Li Shimin's prestige is still very strong, and ordinary people dare not oppose it. And although the generals are unwilling, but as the emperor has done this, what can you say as a courtier? I can only obey.

At this time, a man in his forties came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister Tang Jian is willing to go to the Turkic camp on behalf of His Majesty and talk with the Turks." ”

"Then there will be a trip to Lao Tang Shangshu." Li Shimin said.

When Li Junxian heard that this person was Tang Jian, he immediately thought that Tang Jian was a diplomat in the Tang Dynasty, and he was very sharp-tongued. Tang Jian was once captured by Liu Wuzhou, an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, but he was able to escape by his own mouth, and it seems that he also detected that Dugu Huaien was about to rebel, and he was promoted when he returned to the Tang Dynasty.

However, just when Tang Jian wanted to leave, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants you to ask for someone." ”

"Who?" Li Shimin asked.

"General Li Junxian! General Li Junxian killed tens of thousands of enemies, which frightened the Turks, so the minister wanted to invite General Junxian to go to the town and town, so that those Turks would not dare to be too arrogant. Tang Jian said.

When Li Junxian heard this, a trace of evil light flashed in his eyes, but it was just a flash.

Li Junxian took the initiative to come out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go with Tang Jianshangshu, and I ask Your Majesty to agree." ”

"Okay, since Junxian doesn't have any problems, then you can go with Tang Shangshu!" Li Shimin didn't suspect anything, but agreed casually.

And Li Junxian also followed Tang Jian behind him, and talked and laughed with Tang Jian.

"Tang Shangshu, I heard that you are my master of the Tang Dynasty, no less than Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Warring States Period! The younger generation should learn more from you! Li Junxian said modestly.

The so-called Zongheng family, in fact, is the predecessor of the diplomat, who first appeared in Guiguzi's apprentice Su Qin Zhangyi. Su Qin and Zhang Yi were both longitudinal and horizontal families during the Warring States Period, and they all had great achievements. Su Qin united the six countries to fight against Qin, but Zhang Yi broke the alliance of the six countries, and they were all guys who ate by mouth.

Li Junxian's words happened to scratch Tang Jian's itch, which made Tang Jian very comfortable! Tang Jian's impression of Li Junxian is much better, after all, Li Junxian is very good at sycophancy.

"Where and where, I'm still far from the two seniors of Su Qin and Zhang Yi!" Tang Jian said modestly.

"Tang Shangshu, this time to negotiate with the Turks, do we really have to pay wealth in exchange for peace?" Li Junxian asked.

"Of course! Although it is somewhat helpless to spend money in exchange for peace, it is also necessary. Tang Jian said.

"Tang Shangshu, our military strength is not without the strength to fight with the Turks. We have 80,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty, and although not all of them have been trained in our bow and crossbow shooting, we can delay time with the Turks! Moreover, all the people of Chang'an City can be mobilized to help us only make arrows, and the soldiers only need to be responsible for training the three-fold array. We can fight the Turks, as long as our 80,000-strong army has trained the Trifold Formation, then the Turks have only one way to escape. Why do we still spend money to buy peace? If we are willing to use all the wealth in this treasury to reward the army, I am afraid that countless soldiers will be willing to die for your majesty! ”

"General Junxian, this is not good. Soldiers, murder weapons! If there is a big war, how much wealth will we lose! Now we are just spending a small amount of money in exchange for the Turks not to go on the offensive. And if there is a fight, how many people will be killed near our Chang'an? How much more wealth are we going to lose? Moreover, these losses were far greater than the wealth given to the Turks. Therefore, it was worth giving a small amount of wealth to the Turks. Tang Jian said a little unhappily.

Anger appeared in Li Junxian's eyes again, as an angry young man in later generations, of course he couldn't tolerate this kind of thing of spending money to buy peace. In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, it was very marketable to spend money to buy peace. The powerful Han Dynasty was like this, the Jin Dynasty had it, and the Sui Dynasty after it was also so. The Tang Dynasty is doing this now, and it is just following the previous dynasty. But Li Junxian knew that the Ming Dynasty was the most backbone era in China, so Li Junxian's heart was unbalanced in comparison. Moreover, Li Junxian is a modern person, and in the 21 st century, the national strength is constantly increasing, and he cannot tolerate spending money to buy peace when he is strong.

Now the Tang Dynasty from top to bottom is full of the idea of spending money to buy peace, which makes Li Junxian a little helpless. The thinking of the ancients is different from that of later generations, and the ancients were accustomed to spending money to buy peace, because the people before them did it. If it is inferior to the steppe peoples, it is to spend money to buy peace. And if you have the upper hand, you just throw a bone at them to gnaw. But these are all giving them money, and there is no difference.

"Tang Shangshu, do we really want to use money to buy peace?" Li Junxian asked again.

"Didn't I say that? It's just a last resort! Tang Jian said a little angrily, his good impression of Li Junxian just now was immediately gone.

"The only thing that Datang lacks is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, let me give it to you!" Li Junxian thought to himself.

Li Junxian pointed to the front and said, "Tang Shangshu, what do you think this is?" ”

Tang Jian immediately looked ahead.

"Smack!"

Li Junxian's palm knife slashed at Tang Jian's neck, and Tang Jian suddenly fainted because his head was not enough for a while.

And Li Junxian said to the few soldiers behind him: "You take good care of Tang Shangshu, if he wakes up, you will tie him up!" I'm going to talk to the Turks alone! ”

"Okay, General Lee!" The two soldiers said.

These two soldiers are Li Junxian's old subordinates, so since Li Junxian has ordered so, then they will obey.

After Li Junxian asked the two soldiers to tie up Tang Jian, who had passed out in a coma, he went to talk to the Turks alone. As a later generation, since he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he will never allow China to spend money to buy peace again. If he does this, countless future generations of indignant young people will not let him go, and as the deputy envoy of the negotiations, history will not leave him a good name, and even he will not be able to forgive himself in this life.
