"Khan, let's listen to what the Tang Dynasty envoy has to say!" Zhao Deyan said.

"Okay, go and ask the Tang Dynasty envoy!" Jieli said.

Jingwen once again came to the main hall of Dingxiang City, which can be regarded as the Turkic palace. And Jingwen came here, and he actually didn't have much confidence in this negotiation. But he still wants to come, which is related to the life and death of more than 100,000 Han people. If he fails, then these more than 100,000 Han people will probably continue to suffer a miserable fate. However, Jingwen's advantage over those diplomats in the late Qing Dynasty is that he has a strong country, although he may not be able to compete with the Turks head-on, but he is not weaker than the Turks at all. The only thing Jingwen can be fortunate about is that the Tang Dynasty is not the Manchu Dynasty, not the Manchu Qing Dynasty with no diplomacy in that weak country, which gives him room to play.

"Jieli Khan, on behalf of the emperor, I have come to talk to you about the return of the Han people in the Turkic territory! You robbed us Han people as slaves, this is a great insult to all our Han people in the Tang Dynasty, if you don't give us an explanation, then we only have war! Jingwen said.

"Hmph, we are from the Sui Dynasty, not from the Tang Dynasty, it's your business. Only a small part of us was snatched from the Tang Dynasty, so why should you go back? A Turkic nobleman said.

But Jingwen said: "I, the Tang Dynasty, inherited the legal system of the Sui Dynasty, and naturally the people of the Sui Dynasty are our people, if you don't return it, it will be a war against us, right?" ”

"Hit it! I'm afraid of a fart! Someone shouted immediately.

When Jingwen heard this, he immediately turned his head and said, "Since someone has decided, then I have nothing to talk about, so let's get ready to fight!" ”

"Hmph, I don't believe that you cowardly Han people can take the initiative to provoke a war?" The Turkic nobleman said.

At this time, the Turks immediately came to report.

"Khan, the Han Chinese killed three of our soldiers outside Dingxiang. said that if the Han slaves were not returned, then they would take the initiative to attack! Also, they have sent envoys to form an alliance with Xue Yantuo and attack our Turks on both sides. ”

When the Turkic nobles heard this, they immediately panicked, they didn't expect that the Han people would really come this time. He actually took the initiative to provoke and killed three Turkic soldiers. Usually it is the Turks who take the initiative to provoke, but now it is the turn of the Han people to take the initiative to provoke, is this the Han people going to take the initiative to provoke a war? Originally, they thought that Jingwen was just pretending. But now it seems that it is all true, and the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are going to break out into war. Even the army at the Datang border pass took the initiative to provoke.

But these Turks didn't know that although Datang was indeed mobilizing troops, the fact was that the troop was not so fast. The reason why he came immediately with Jingwen's meaning was because Jingwen used his tiger talisman to go to which Xinzhou's Zhichong Mansion to invite which Duan Ye Duwei to take the initiative to provoke, so that the Tang Dynasty was ready to go to war at any time. This was actually decided by Jing Wen on his own, and he knew that the Turks would be afraid. Like this kind of grassland people, there is a common characteristic, that is, they are afraid of power and not morality. If you talk to him well. I'm afraid he won't be afraid of you, but will bully you. But if you take the initiative to provoke, then he will be afraid of you. This is the consistent urine nature of the grassland people, and the reason why they are so arrogant. It was all used to by the Han monarchs of all dynasties.

Jingwen was still walking out, but Jieli immediately shouted, "Come back!" ”

Jingwen turned around and asked; "Aren't you ready for war? Then what are I not going to do if I don't go back, are you still going to kill me? ”

The corners of his mouth twitched. Obviously, now the Tang Dynasty is ready to go to war at any time, and it is not false. Originally, it was just Jingwen's blackmail, but now the Tang Dynasty really wants to go to war for the more than 100,000 Han people. But Jieli couldn't figure it out. Why did the people of the Tang Dynasty go to war for more than 100,000 people, this makes some sense! Once the war starts, the losses will be even greater, and I am afraid that more than 100,000 people will be paid by then.

However, Jieli did not know at all, nor could he understand what the political problems of the Chinese were. If you don't fight, I'm afraid that the people's hearts will be lost, and when the time comes, a thorn in the hearts of the people in the Li Tang Dynasty may subvert the Li Tang Dynasty at any time. Therefore, this battle must be fought, and it must be made to look like it will not hesitate to pay a price for the people, so as to win the hearts of the people. Of course, the people support the imperial government that blocks themselves in the first place, and if the Li Tang Dynasty is willing to fight to the death for them, then the people will desperately support the Li Tang Dynasty.

In this war, we should not only look at attrition and losses, but also look at political factors. The Turks did not form a theory of war, they fought for profit, and they were all for the kind of visible benefit. And Li Shimin's plan is the kind of invisible interest, that is, the people's will and morale.

Therefore, for the sake of the people's will, this time we will not talk about whether we can fight or not, even if we fight, we must grit our teeth and hold on. As long as the more than 100,000 people are returned, I am afraid that the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty will be completely restored, the rule of the Tang Dynasty will be completely stable, and the people's sense of belonging will be greatly increased.

These benefits are incomprehensible to the Turks, so they have no idea why Datang wants to launch a war for these more than 100,000 people. In their eyes, Datang has tens of millions of people, and more than 100,000 people are nothing at all, but Datang is so unabandoned.

"Jieli Khan, if you give us a word, will you not return it to us? If it is not returned, then we are ready for war. It's not blackmail this time, but it's real. Jingwen said.

And at this time, someone was coming to report to Jieli again.

"What? The Tang Dynasty army has already begun to give the order to assemble? Going to fight? Jieli asked in surprise.

"Khan, it's just an order, and there is still some time to assemble!" The Turkic spy said.

Jieli Khan and those nobles couldn't sit still, obviously this time the Tang Dynasty really came. When the time comes, it will not be a lie to be attacked on the belly and back! Fighting on two fronts can make countless countries go crazy. Although the Turks were somewhat weak in terms of politics, they were not at all weaker than the Han in terms of military affairs, and they were well aware of the dangers of fighting on two fronts. The increased risk of a two-front battle is not one plus one equals two, but the risk of one times five or even one by ten.

"Tang Envoy, there is something to say, there is something to say!" Jieli said.

Jingwen hummed in his heart: "The tiger is not powerful, when I am a sick cat!" It seems that you Turks are really in trouble both internally and externally, and you are so in such a cup. (To be continued......)
