Chapter 296: The Two Heroes
As Li Guanqi expected, just after noon the next day, a man and a horse slowly marched from the Turkic army to Chuyang Pass. Seeing this, the defenders immediately became vigilant.
A man and a horse came to the pass, and the knight on the horse bent his bow and aimed at He Ziming, who was patrolling the city.
The defenders were just about to set up a bow, but they were stopped by He Ziming with a wave of his hand. He was so skilled that he could see that the knight was using a striking arrow, and that there was a piece of satin tied to the shaft, which he thought was a messenger.
Sure enough, the arrows sent out by the knight were not very powerful, but they could be shot in front of He Ziming, and he easily grabbed them.
He Ziming took off the satin on the arrow shaft, unfolded it to take a look, and suddenly his face was solemn, and he ran down the city tower quickly.
At this time, Li Guanqi was reviewing the music sent by the Jingshi, but he saw He Ziming coming in in a hurry and said: "Shaluo Khan has set up a tent ten miles outside the pass, please see Your Majesty." ”
Li Guanqi couldn't help but perk up when he heard this, and blurted out: "It's finally here." ”
"Is Your Majesty going?" He Ziming said cautiously, "What if it's a trap?" ”
"Yun Jing is too worried." Li Guanqi laughed and said, "No matter how Sha Luo says, he is also the lord of a country, how can he use that kind of indiscriminate means to ambush me?" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if!" Lin Bai also said beside him, "It's better to go." ”
"Now it's the Turkic Khan, please see Emperor Daqian. Are you the emperor? Li Guanqi said with a smile.
"Don't dare!" Lin Bai knelt down with a puff.
"Get up." Li Guanqi said angrily and funny, "I'm joking with you." Why are you still scared? ”
"......" Lin Bai was speechless with a black line. The heart said: Can this joke be made?
Li Guanqi said that he was open, but he actually understood that he was a big country, and these courtiers would definitely not let themselves go to dangerous places easily, but he calculated that Shaluo Khan really didn't know how to play tricks, so he said: "Yunjing, you go to the city again." If I had predicted, the Turkic army would have retreated more than twenty miles to show its sincerity. ”
He Ziming agreed, but before he could turn around and go out, Nameless had already rushed over, "Your Majesty, the Turks have withdrawn their troops." ”
"How? Now you should rest assured, right? Li Guanqi said triumphantly.
"To be on the safe side. Please take your majesty and the nameless with you! He Ziming continued to say dutifully.
"Of course." Li Guanqi is as good as a stream, "With the two of you here, you can also go to Longtan Tiger's Den." Prepare to meet the great leader of the Western Turks. ”
As Li Guanqi expected, the Western Turkic army retreated a full thirty miles before reconstituting again. And the place where the two sides met was ten miles away from the Yang Pass, and at this distance, if both sides played tricks, Sha Luo's situation was more dangerous than Li Guanqi's.
In less than three moments, the heavy iron-clad gate of the Sun Gate slowly opened. A hundred black-clad and black-armoured, majestic horsemen marched out slowly; Then there was Li Guanqi, the Great Emperor of Daqian who rode on a white horse and wore a military uniform, and He Ziming and the nameless left and right guards were on Li Guanqi's side; A hundred more horsemen were further behind.
There is a hillside ten miles east of the Kuyang Pass, and it is the agreed meeting place. The hillside is not high, but the line of sight is very good, and the top is very flat, which is indeed a good place for pre-military negotiations.
When he came closer, Li Guanqi saw a large gold-roofed tent standing on the snow. Outside the tents, dozens of Turkic soldiers stood or sat loosely, some arranging their horses. Some wiped their weapons with a proud expression. It seems that he didn't take his two hundred neatly arrayed and majestic Daqian Xiao cavalry guards in his eyes at all.
Li Guanqi's gaze swept over the faces of the few lazy Turks, and with a slight increase in his hand, the two hundred horsemen immediately restrained the horse stiff at the same time, and stopped at the ground of an arrow, silent and silent.
In fact, Yang Bozheng, Lin Bai, including He Bijun and Yang Yuqing, were not worried that Li Guanqi would only bring 200 people to the appointment, and originally planned to let all the 3,000 Xiao cavalry guards go out to escort them. But Li Guanqi said: "I went to negotiate with Sharo." It's not to fight, why do you want so many people? "I rejected everyone's opinion.
The negotiation was about momentum, and Sharo Khan only brought about a hundred people to the appointment, and if Li Guanqi sent a large army out, it would raise the other party. It is also easy to arouse the contempt of the other party.
However, this peace negotiation was proposed by the Turks, and Li Guanqi was the identity of the emperor, even in the face of Shaluo, it was only high. Li Guanqi had already arrived, but Sha Luo had not yet come out to greet him, and the soldiers outside the tent were also arrogant and untamed, obviously a little bit of a horse to give the horse a way.
He Ziming suddenly became angry, and his sword eyebrows stood upside down and said: "Your Majesty, this Shaluo is such a big shelf, knowing that His Majesty has arrived, but he is so rude, we might as well go back, how can we break the prestige of Daqian!" ”
Nameless smiled and said, "Your Majesty." This Sha Luo is so big, it is indeed a bit annoying, it is better to let the minister go in and arrest him, so that he knows what the rules are. ”
Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Sha Luo is just trying my sincerity, there is no need to deal with these barbarians, I tell you, negotiation is like playing chess." It is the paper that wins first, and the money that wins later. Now I'm giving him face, and he'll have to kowtow to me thirty times to get it back. Go. Tell them that I'm coming, and ask Sharo to come out and welcome them! ”
He Ziming glanced at Li Guanqi suspiciously, and galloped to the front of the big tent to announce that the Great Qian Emperor had arrived, and asked Shaluo Khan to greet him.
In a few moments, twelve tall Turkic soldiers in armor came out of the tent, and then a tall figure walked out.
Seeing that Sharo Khan had already walked to the front of the tent, Li Guanqi kicked the horse's belly and led the guards to walk forward slowly.
When he arrived at the camp, Nameless turned over and dismounted, walked to Li Guanqi's horse and knocked on one knee, Li Guanqi pulled the saddle and dismounted, lightly on his back, and jumped off the ground.
Sharo Khan stepped forward and said with a smile in fluent Chinese: "Welcome, Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you are very similar to Ling Zuchang......
As he spoke, he looked at Li Guanqi and saw that this emperor was dressed in gold chain mail, with a red brocade cloak on his back, and a ruyi purple and gold crown on his head.
At the same time that Sha Luo was looking at Li Guanqi, Li Guanqi was also looking at the khan who had ruled the Western Turks for decades, only to see that he had a rich torso, a slender face, a high nose bridge, big eyes, a long beard, an elegant temperament, and he did not look vicious.
