Chapter 298: Confrontation
Shaluo Khan seemed to be talking to Li Guanqi, and seemed to be talking to himself, while secretly observing Li Guanqi's face.
Li Guanqi kept smiling, and while listening, he took a sip of a bowl of milk tea, grinned and put it down again, picked up a small piece of yogurt and bit it little by little, tasting the taste, looking casual.
Shaluo Khan originally thought that saying a few words about relying on the old and selling the old would stimulate the young Li Guanqi, but Li Guanqi was like this. He couldn't help but feel dark in his heart, he was originally very interested, but seeing that Li Guanqi did not react, he gradually lost the interest in continuing to speak.
Sharo Khan's words actually implied several meanings in it. One is to deliberately rely on the old and sell the old, stimulating the young Li Guanqi, who is ambitious, to make him excited, and he can take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
The second aspect is actually showing favor to Li Guanqi, because he praised Li Guanqi after all.
The third meaning is to wake up Li Guanqi, in the history of the war between the Turks and the Great Qian, the Turks have always had the upper hand, and for so many years, those who can defeat Sharo Khan on the battlefield are only Emperor Wuzong and Li Guanqi. Moreover, Emperor Wuzong died early, and the implication is that Li Guanqi, who is very similar to Emperor Wuzong, may not be able to live long. Although Li Guanqi won this time, in the long run, Daqian was still at a disadvantage. Since you are at a disadvantage, you are also at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiation.
Originally, Sharo Khan felt that Li Guanqi should be a very smart emperor, and Li Guanqi should be able to understand what he really wanted to express from his seemingly idle words.
But who knows, Li Guanqi doesn't know if he is really stupid, or if he is too smart, he has no reaction directly, and he doesn't know if he really didn't understand the subtext of Sharo Khan. I still understood, and deliberately pretended not to understand.
All in all, Sharo Khan found that his scheming and lip service were in vain, and you just can say that if people don't order you, what else can you do?
The first round. It seems to be a draw, but in fact, Li Guanqi took the lead.
Li Guanqi waited for Shaluo Khan to stop talking, and then suddenly frowned and said, "I have always been unable to understand one thing......
"What's the matter?" Sharo Khan asked subconsciously.
Li Guanqi shot his gaze directly into Sharo Khan's eyes, and asked with interest: "Obviously, it is not good for you to continue to drag on, why do you want to drag it out?" ”
Li Guanqi's question was a bit abrupt, but Sharo Khan actually understood because he smiled.
Seeing Sharo Khan smiling, Li Guanqi knew that he had guessed correctly before. That's the right question.
The smile on Sharo Khan's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "Do you think I will tell you?" ”
"I think you called me here to tell me why you did it." Li Guanqi also smiled.
"Actually, two days ago, I received a letter from the Flying Eagle." Sharo Khan said in a different position.
"Oh?" Li Guanqi wrinkled his nose, "Do you still have an army in the rear?" My surprise plan failed? ”
"Quite the opposite." Sharo Khan sighed and said, "The elites of all tribes have been brought by me, and the rest of the grassland are old, weak, sick and disabled, and your strange soldiers have caused us great losses. ”
"Then I don't understand it even more." Li Guanqi leaned forward slightly and said. "You've broken your teeth at the front, and you've suffered another disaster in the rear. Why aren't you in a hurry to withdraw from the army? ”
"Do you really want to know?" Sharo Khan asked with a smile again.
"Yes." Li Guanqi said unabashedly, "But I know you want to talk to me more." ”
"If you offer something that satisfies me." Sharo Khan poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I'll tell you." ”
"What kind of conditions do you want?" Li Guanqi did not directly express his opinion, but kicked the ball back to Sharo Khan.
"Will you give me the money if I want it?" Sharo Khan asked with a smile.
"Do you want money?" Li Guanqi asked with a smile.
"I don't want money." Sharo Khan drank the wine from his glass and said. "I want land, I want food."
"No problem." Li Guanqi replied very dryly.
"No problem?" Sharo Khan was really surprised this time.
"Not bad." Li Guanqi said solemnly, "I will give you a piece of territory that is not much different from your land, and with the territory, food will naturally not be a problem." ”
“…… Did I hear me right? Sharo Khan asked, puzzled. Or are you already drunk? Or are you joking? ”
"I said it very clearly, so you heard it right." Li Guanqi smiled and said, "I can drink a jar of such wine, so I am not drunk." As for you saying that I'm joking, isn't it possible that you haven't heard Jun Wuyan's joke? ”
"But you've won the battle after all." Sharo Khan was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Li Guanqi to be so easy to talk to, or so generous.
"I'm the Son of Heaven." Li Guanqi said very coaxingly, "I have the capacity to accommodate people. I don't know as much as you do. ”
"I wonder what you're going to cut for us?" Sharo Khan really laughed this time.
Li Guanqi glared and said, "When did I say that I was going to cede the land to you?" ”
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to give us a piece of territory no smaller than our current territory?" Sharo Khan said a little annoyed, "Don't forget that you don't have any jokes. Or are you deliberately playing tricks on me? ”
"That's what I said." Li Guanqi sat back and straightened up and said, "But I didn't say that I would cut my land to you." Besides, most of my work is cultivated land, just for you, will you plant? ”
"And what place are you talking about?" Sharo Khan said with a blowing beard.
"You are nomads, of course I want to give you a big grassland." Li Guanqi said with a heartfelt expression.
"Prairie?" Sharo Khan was confused, "Where is the grassland?" ”
"Aren't all grasslands to the east?" Li Guanqi smiled and said, "That territory is not smaller than your current one!" ”
"You're bold!" Sharo Khan could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up. Of course, he understood what Li Guanqi meant by the big grassland, but although the Eastern Turks and their Western Turks were two countries, they were still compatriots after all.
Li Guanqi was not angry, but poured himself a glass of wine, drank it slowly, and then said word by word: "Is it because I am bold?" Or are you cowardly? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sharo Khan's eyes widened.
"Isn't it cowardly if you don't want to do it?" (To be continued......)
