Pei Zeng originally thought that Yi Feng was just joking, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to use this method of sending money and giving people to invite and retire the army, and he was disappointed at the moment. ◎ Top Novel, www. His face changed, his chest rose and fell, and he smashed a fist into the palm of his other hand, and said loudly: "San Lang, you can't do this, even when we were mixing rivers and lakes on the grassland, we never bowed our heads like this." Fight with them, even if you fight to the death, it's worth it. But sending money to a woman is cowardice, and even if you admit it, the Turks will only think that we can be deceived when they get the benefits, and they will only come to blackmail again and again in the future, this is not a solution at all, and I don't agree with asking for peace. ”

Yi Feng saw Pei Zeng angry, and immediately smiled, "Pei Bo is angry first, I haven't finished my words yet." When I'm done, how about judging if you think it's wrong? ”

Pei Zeng's face was a little unhappy, but he still couldn't help but leave immediately, looked at Yi Feng, and waited for him to continue.

Li Mi, who was beside Yi Feng, also followed: "General Pei, don't be angry first, please listen to His Highness's half-talk, his subordinates will never believe that His Highness is a weak and cowardly person, His Highness must have some kind of clever plan." ”

"Your Highness, please continue, it's me who is too excited." Pei Zeng's tone softened a lot.

Yi Feng didn't mean to be angry, and said slowly, "The Turks are attacking in a big way, and the troops are huge, they should have entered Shuozhou and attacked Taiyuan." But now that I'm coming from the east, it's not that I'm afraid of war, and it's not that I don't dare to fight. But you know, Gao Gong, an old thief, has bad intentions, he is now holding troops in Mayi, and his attitude is obvious, that is, he wants to wait for us to fight hard with the Turks first, and it is best for us to fight to the death, and then he will come to pick up the cheap and get the benefits of the fisherman. This would have been a tactic. We draw the Turkic armies deep and then draw them under the city. Stick to them and drag the Turks to their knees. When they were no longer sharp, exhausted, and unable to advance or retreat, the Hedong army quickly moved north and dealt a fatal blow to the Turks. This is indeed a good tactical plan. But Gao Gong didn't communicate with us at all, he just used us as outcasts and bait, and maybe he just wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, for this. We also had to make more preparations, we couldn't make wedding clothes for others, and in the end we were killed by others with knives. We can't work hard, and in the end we will be scarred and suffer heavy losses, and then Gao Gong will get a benefit, and in the end, we will not have our real strength, and we may be kneaded and manipulated by Gao Gong. For our own sake, we can't leave the design at the mercy of others. ”

Pei Zeng was shocked when he heard these words. The words are simple and clear, and they go straight to the essence. This was not just a battle against the Turks, but also a struggle for the interests of all forces in the imperial court. If Taisun didn't have Huaihuang and Huaihuang Army, Taisun would have been able to quickly become the governor of Wuzhou in the imperial court from a horse thief. Then there is Shangzhu Kingdom, and then King Zhao, the governor of Youzhou, and the imperial grandson are constantly jumping? Impossible, even if Yi Feng is the emperor's grandson. The emperor has so many grandsons, and there is no other person who is as favored as Yi Feng. Ultimately. Or because of strength. And once they lose their strength, can they still maintain their current transcendent status? No way. The princelings will definitely swallow them, and even the emperor will never give such importance to a loser again.

"Your Highness is right." Pei Zeng nodded.

Yi Feng continued, "In order to prevent this from happening, I thought we would have to stick to two rules anyway. One is that we cannot afford to lose our soldiers and horses, or at least not too much. Second, Huai Huang cannot be lost, and Hebei cannot be invaded. Defend our territory, keep the soldiers and horses in our hands, then we still have a strong right to speak, otherwise, maybe I will be feudal on Ryukyu Island to be the king of the Ryukyus, or to South Vietnam as the king of the Chams. ”

Hearing this, even Li Mi couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

"At the moment, the Turks are menacing, and we have to avoid fighting the Turks, not only can we not fight them in the field, but we also have to try to avoid fierce offensive and defensive battles with the Turks. We can't let Gao Gong just sit in the back leisurely, waiting to pick up the bargain, we have to pull the situation back to the original plan, let's talk with the Turks, of course, this is a fake peace talk, the purpose is to delay and weaken the momentum of the Turkic attack. Regardless of whether it is negotiated or not, this is always a delaying tactic, which can buy us time, after all, Gao Gong can find some excuse to stay in Mayi for three or five or even ten days, he can't just lead the 250,000 troops in the middle to stagnation, he really dares to do that, then I can directly ask the emperor to remove Gao Ying, change a commander, or simply let me lead the middle army. Time, what Gao Gong lacks most is time, and he can't delay it for too long. And what we want is to delay the time, talk to the Turks, and talk about Gao Gong can not be delayed any longer. ”

Pei Zeng, an old Jianghu, also immediately understood the true intention of the peace talks, especially the territory and strength in it, he understood it even more. Just like when they mixed the rivers and lakes, regardless of the morality or reputation of the rivers and lakes, they must first have strength and territory, if they don't have the strength, they can't keep the territory, and they will eventually be swallowed up by others. "I agree with His Highness's idea, but at this time, I am only afraid that in the end, I am afraid that His Majesty will be there? Is it to convene the civil and military, and then carefully discuss and deliberate? ”

Li Mi went to inform the military officials under the command of the Taisun in Youzhou to come.

Qin Qiong, Lai Cheng and the others nodded frequently after hearing the plan, and Liu Heimin said, "What His Highness said is good, it makes sense." We can't be used as swords, we have to think about defending the city, how to fight the Turks, so maybe we will fight all the belongings that His Highness has worked so hard for, even if we finally defeat the Turks and defeat the Turks, we are the ones who suffer. ”

"It doesn't matter if you talk to the Turks, anyway, it's a fake peace talk, with a few more conditions, talk slowly with the Turks, just like His Highness said, can he still die in Mayi and not come out? But we have to find someone who has a way to do it, otherwise, the Turks may not be willing to talk to us. Liu Wenjing said.

"Do we have such a suitable person?" Pei Zeng asked.

"So-and-so would like to take on this task and talk to the Turks." Liu Wenjing saw that there was no suitable person for a while, so he took the initiative to ask for an order.

Qin Qiong said with some concern, "We don't have the emperor's will, and we negotiate with the Turks without permission, in case we are held accountable, I am afraid that the matter will not be small." ”

Yi Feng smiled, "It's just a fake peace talk to delay the army, even if someone wants to use this to attack me at that time, it's useless." As the emperor's grandson, does anyone really believe that some treason and collusion with the Turks will fail? ”

"I'm worried about whether the Turks are willing to talk, and now the Turks are in full swing, and 200,000 soldiers and horses are suddenly attacking, but I'm afraid that the Turks will not want to negotiate peace at this time." It was Taisun Xue Daoheng who spoke, and this discussion was a matter of importance, Yi Feng specially asked Li Mi to call the famous scholars and scholars in Taisun Mansion, such as horse washing, bachelors, and sheren, and so on, not expecting them to give advice, at least to be a witness.

"Even if we don't really want peace talks, we have to show the sincerity and patience that we really want to talk about. We must grind step by step, step by step, so that we can slowly delay time and reduce our pressure. The Hedong Army will eventually have to go north, but it will definitely not come so quickly, so we have to find a way to make good use of the peace talks to delay the Turks before they arrive. ”

Eventually, Yi Feng appointed Liu Wenjing as a plenipotentiary negotiator in charge of negotiating with the Turks.

However, the negotiations did not go smoothly, and as mentioned before, the Turks thought that they had the chance to win, and did not take the Sui people who asked for peace talks in their eyes at all. In their eyes, the Sui people's request showed their weakness more and more. Since you can grab it directly, why bother talking about it. Anyway, those golden silk children in the city are already their own in their eyes, so why do they need to bargain with the Han people to only take a part?

Besides, what kind of conditions are the Han people driving?

The Turks retreated, and the imperial grandson of the Sui Dynasty allowed the Turks to trade in the Huaihuang market in the future, and was even willing to exchange tea, silk, and some iron tools with the Turks for war horses, and was even willing to give the Turkic Khan King some rewards of money and silk women every year.

That's all, there's really nothing to talk about.

The Turks only agreed to send a letter to Kushezhen on behalf of Liu Wenjing, and even refused to take Liu Wenjing and others to the Turkic camp.

When the news came back to Yi Feng, Yi Feng didn't care, and now the attitude of the Turks was expected. But if the letter can be delivered, it will be enough to let the Turks know that he has this will. Although he is reluctant to fight now, the war still has to be fought, and only after the battle will the Turks understand that things are not as simple as they imagined, and only then will their mention be valuable, and the Turks will be interested in starting contacts and negotiations.

In order to promote peace, or to fight a beautiful battle, the Turks had to return to the negotiating table, even if the negotiation was actually fake from beginning to end.

"Daman is estimated to have already dealt with Huai'an City, and Kuhezhen has also swept away Wei and Fei, and now it is closed in the military capital. The real battle is about to begin, and we have to let the Turks know that we are powerful, and let them know that we are not at will. Yi Feng tapped on the table, turned to Li Mi and said, "Pack up your things, we will go to Junduguan immediately, the battle is about to begin." ”

Under the military capital pass, Ku Hezhen personally led 30,000 troops to sweep all the way to the front of the military capital pass, 20 miles away under the camp and set up a village, 30,000 horses and horses of the camp tent connected together, like white clouds dotting the sky.

In the camp of the Chinese army, the Sui people's invitation and letter were finally sent to Kuhezhen, and the Turkic generals in the vanguard did not dare to make their own claims. (To be continued......) R527
