In the face of such a dilemma, Arutai immediately became anxious, desperately trying to stabilize the body that had lost the center of gravity, how could the general trend have gone, and the whole person still involuntarily rushed forward, but just when he thought he was destined to escape this difficulty, a big hand suddenly stretched out from the side, only lightly, Arutai suddenly felt that his body shook, and the person had stabilized on the ground, and he was busy looking at it, but it was Li Zhen's own hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness, foreign minister, foreign minister......" Seeing Li Zhen smiling at the corner of his mouth, Arutai's old face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"The governor of Arutai is polite, the governor is a guest from afar, this king doesn't dare to accept such a big gift from the governor, haha......, come here, take a seat for the governor!" The reason why Li Zhen was first strong and then relaxed, his intention was naturally not to see Arutai make a fool of himself, but just to hit Arutai's self-confidence, so as to benefit from the negotiation, at this time, seeing that the goal had been achieved, there was no need to put up a shelf, so he laughed and ordered his subordinates to move Maza, a few sons and other things into the tent, and humbly let Arutai sit on Maza, and then Shi Shiran walked to the opposite side of Arutai and sat down, and did not speak, just looked at Arutai with a smile.

Being able to avoid the embarrassment of the gaffe on the spot, Arutai shouted in his heart that he was lucky, and he was also very grateful for Li Zhen's help, and at this time seeing Li Zhen looking at him, Arutai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the foreign minister took the liberty to come to ask for a meeting, there are many rudenesses, and please ask Your Highness Haihan." ”

"The governor is polite, this king has been friends with the governor for a long time, hehe, if it weren't for the governor, the Qingshui River battle of your army is afraid that it no longer exists, with this, it should be floating, but the army is not allowed to drink, the king will replace the wine with tea, and pay tribute to the governor of a bowl." Li Zhen smiled and picked up the tea bowl and gestured to Arutai.

"Ashamed, ashamed!" Speaking of the battle of Qingshuihe, Arutai couldn't help but feel a little proud of his decision to order to shoot his own defeated soldiers together to block the impact of the Tang army, but when he thought about it, the whole army was still inevitably annihilated, and he couldn't help but be a little gloomy, and he was already convinced of Li Zhen's layout, and it was difficult to rise up in his heart to resist, and then compared the useless waste with Li Zhenyi, the gloom in his heart was even heavier, and he picked up the tea bowl with a wry smile, raised his head, and really drank the tea as wine.

"Your Highness, the foreign minister came on the order of the governor of my family, and there is a gift for him, I don't know if His Highness is willing to accept it?" Seeing that Li Zhen never asked about his intentions, Arutai had to bite the bullet and open his mouth.

"Oh? Really? This king is interested in seeing it. Li Zhen didn't care about whether the gift was a gift or not, but since Arutai opened his mouth, Li Zhen naturally pretended to be very interested and said in agreement.

"Your Highness, please wait." Seeing that Li Zhen did not say anything to refuse, Arutai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and confessed, withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army, and soon walked into the tent with a narrow scimitar with a sheath, stood in the distance with both hands, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this knife is produced in Persia, it is cast by a famous family, and it is not easy to make a thousand gold, please appreciate it." Li Zhen didn't speak, just made a gesture, and Yingda, who was following Arutai's side, immediately nodded knowingly, reached out and took the knife in Arutai's hand, and held it in front of Li Zhen with both hands.

The knife is naturally a good knife, just look at the scabbard inlaid with a lot of gems and the handle carved out of ivory, you know that its value is unusual and comparable, however, for Li Zhen, these are just chicken ribs, but not much in the eyes, just smiled indifferently, and pulled out the blade casually, but when the knife was out of the sheath, the cold light flashed, and in the sound of "Qiang Ran", a fierce air immediately rippled in the tent, Rao is Li Zhen is also considered to be a well-informed person, and his mind couldn't help but be moved lightly, and the words couldn't help blurting out: "Good knife!" ”

Seeing this, Arutai's tense heartstrings immediately relaxed, and he echoed with a smile: "Your Highness likes it, if you like it, it's good to like it, just a small gift for His Highness to play with, it's really not a respect." ”

Li Zhen had heard of the name of the Persian Damascus scimitar in his previous life, since he came to the Tang Dynasty, because of the large number of caravans under his hands, he also sent people to collect more than a dozen Persian scimitars, but they are not as sharp as the knife in front of him, like Li Zhen and other good martial arts people, although he is not good at swordsmanship, but when he sees a good knife, he is also happy, but this is not the time to play with the knife, Li Zhen is to stroke the body of the knife and put the knife into the sheath, glanced at Arutai, and suddenly asked: "Who wears this knife?" ”

Arutai didn't expect Li Zhen to ask such a question, so he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "This knife was originally a knife worn by the Great Khan of my family, and it was later given to the Grand Governor of my family, and it was a knife worn by the Grand Governor." ”

Oh, it turned out to be the saber of the kid, it's no wonder, it looks like it's completely finished! Li Zhen had already smelled the strange smell on the scabbard when he was appreciating the knife before, and the smell of wine was very strong, and he felt quite strange in his heart, so he had this question, and when he heard Arutai's explanation, he immediately knew that he must have been drunk and uninterested in military affairs in the past few days, otherwise there would not be such a strange smell on his sword, and his evaluation of Bazhuo was even lower, and he had already made up his mind, but his face was still calm, he just smiled, and stopped talking.

"Your Highness, I, the Xue Yantuo Khanate, have always respected the Heavenly Khan, and I have no old grudges with Anxi, this incident is purely a misunderstanding, not out of my own heart, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me one or two." Seeing that Li Zhen was just smiling, but didn't speak, Arutai had no choice but to say something with a shy face.

"Oh? Misunderstand? Ha, isn't this misunderstanding interesting, should this king go to Xue Yantuo to misunderstand? Although Li Zhen had the intention to let go of the soldiers and horses of Bazhuo, he didn't want to bring out the hole cards so early, and he would not be the slightest polite when it was time to make trouble.

As soon as Li Zhen said this, the cold sweat on Arutai's forehead gushed out, and he smiled with embarrassment: "Your Highness is laughing, the foreign ministers, the foreign ministers and others really don't dare to stop the divine power of His Highness, it's just that the foreign ministers and others are not waiting to be killed, don't they hear the words of death and afterlife?" ”

"How daring, dare you threaten this king?" Li Zhen's face immediately drooped, and his gaze swept over coldly, and the meaning of the forest in it made Arutai shudder.

"The ministers don't dare, the ministers and others only ask His Highness to be merciful and let me and others have a way to live, but if I can leave here, I vow not to step across the Altai Mountains again." The situation is stronger than people, how can Arutai still have the courage to argue with Li Zhen, when he saw that Li Zhen's face was wrong, he immediately lowered his figure and begged for mercy.

"What you say, can this king believe it?" Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and said indifferently.

Li Zhen said this without joy or anger, Arutai couldn't hear what Li Zhen meant at all, the sweat that had been dripping non-stop was already surging like a waterfall at this time, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, a pair of old eyes looked at Li Zhen with a sad look, and said with a bitter face: "If you have to let me leave, everything is up to Your Highness." ”

Li Zhen waited for such a sentence, but he didn't speak immediately, but looked at Arutai indifferently, and the aura of slaughter was so oppressive that Arutai almost couldn't breathe, seeing Arutai's face turn from red to white and blue, Li Zhen said indifferently: "Since you say so, this king is too bad to be too bad, and you can go down, but the first evil must be left!" ”

As soon as he heard Li Zhen say that he would be released, Arutai was happy in his heart, but when he heard that the first evil must be left, the joy that had just sprung up in Arutai's heart was immediately beaten away, he stretched out his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his face, and said hesitantly: "Please make it clear to Your Highness." ”

Li Zhen glanced at Arutai quietly, and said calmly: "I have set up this thief to stir up the dispute between your two countries, it is a great crime, and it must not be kept, this king can give you a day to deal with this matter, and at noon the day after tomorrow, this king wants to see the dog head set by Si Sadu, as for the remnants of his army, you will disarm his troops on the spot and escort them to the king's army, if this matter can be done, this king can make the decision to let you and others return to Xue Yantuo." ”

The more than 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Tong Si Sadu have lost more than half of them since the defeat in the battle of Qingshuihe, and now there are only 15,000 remnants of the army, and the grain and straw are all due to Xue Yantuo's allocation, and the morale has already fallen to the extreme, with Xue Yantuo's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses now to take down the remnants of the Western Turks, it is not too difficult for Arutai to ask himself if he can easily achieve this, but Arutai is not sure whether what Li Zhen said is true, and he was silent for a while, and did not open his mouth to admit it - Xue Yantuo sent troops to take the remnants of the Western Turks, Although there will not be too much chaos, but a riot in the camp is unavoidable, if the Tang army takes the opportunity to launch a general attack, the army of Xue Yantuo in the civil strife will have to collapse, this kind of danger Arutai does not dare to take risks easily, but seeing that Li Zhen's expressionless face seems to show an impatient look, Arutai did not dare to remain silent anymore, and asked cautiously: "What His Highness said is very true, I Si Sadu set up a child to be killed, but, ah, but now it is in our camp, if it is not handled properly, it will cause a riot, I am afraid that it will affect His Highness's camp, once the chaos starts, it will not end well, can His Highness withdraw his troops first, and after our army crosses the Ulungu River, he will definitely set up the head of the child in Sisadu. ”

"The words of this king are never repeated, wait for yourself to see that it is done, Eagle Big, send off guests!" Li Zhen didn't give Arutai a chance to explain at all, and directly gave the order to evict the guests.

"Your Highness is slow, can you allow the foreign minister to go back to the camp first and discuss with the governor of my family before replying to His Highness?" Arutai didn't expect Li Zhen to turn his face when he said it, so he was in a hurry, and he shouted in a hurry.

"There is no need to reply, this king will only wait until noon the day after tomorrow, and if he does not see the head of the person set by Sisadu, then it is better to bring the head of the others with him." Li Zhen didn't leave Arutai any room to maneuver, as soon as the words fell, with a wave of his big hand, Yingda immediately led several guards forward, ready to invite someone.

"Your Highness, the ministers will agree." Seeing that Li Zhen was really going to drive people out, Arutai hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Hmm." Li Zhen snorted, waved his hand, motioned to Yingda and the others to step back, looked at Arutai with a pale face, and said with a smile: "Since the governor of Arutai is willing to do this, this king can't treat you and others, hmm, this king heard that the Great Khan of your country is in poor health, I'm afraid time is running out, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Li Zhen didn't say that it was very beneficial, but turned the topic to Xue Yantuo's Great Khan Yinan, which really made Arutai unable to turn around for a while, and after being stunned for a while, he came to his senses, daring to love Li Zhen This is planning to meddle in the matter of Xue Yantuo's khanate, and he was startled, his eyes were extremely round, and he looked at Li Zhen dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

"What? Is this king wrong, huh? Arutai didn't speak, but Li Zhen didn't plan to let Arutai go, frowned, and snorted unhappily.

"Ah, my Great Khan is slightly ill, but, ......" Arutai stammered and didn't know what to say.

"That's good." Li Zhen nodded noncommittally, ignoring the embarrassed look on Arutai's face, and continued as if talking to himself: "This time I helped this king to quell the rebellion of the thieves set up by Si Sadu, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to my Tang Dynasty. ”

Mohe Moro is the heir in the Turkic language, although Xue Yantuo has his own language, but the official language is still inherited Turkic, Li Zhen's meaning is to let the Tang Dynasty officially canonize Ba Zhuo as Yi Nan's successor, which really makes Arutai surprised, happy and suspicious - Arutai supports Ba Zhuo, in addition to the identity of the orthodox son-in-law on the head of Ba Zhuo, the main thing is that Ba Zhuo is Arutai grew up watching, and the relationship between them is far better than Yi Nan's other sons, of course, Arutai also has his own selfishness because of Bazhuo's short legs in the military strategy, Arutai's support for his ascension will also help him to grasp the military power, if there is no Qingshui River defeat, everything that Bazhuo has, whether it is military strength or orthodox name, is far stronger than Dadu, Yi Nan died, Bazhuo is basically a matter of course, but at present, although his own military strength has not been greatly damaged, but with the return to Hui, the two major tribes of Fugu have completely fallen to Dadu, even if Bazhuo can return to the prairie safely with the whole army, Compared with the magnanimity of its strength, it is no longer advantageous, it is difficult to say whether it can really ascend to the throne of the Khan, at least Arutai himself is not completely sure in his heart, if he can get the support of the Tang Dynasty, then things will naturally be much easier to do, from this point of view, what Li Zhen said is a good thing, but Arutai is worried that Li Zhen's words are false, just to calm his own heart, if it is really when Xue Yantuo's army encircled and suppressed Si Sadu, the Tang army suddenly sent troops to attack, and Xue Yantuo's army was in civil strife, I'm afraid that I don't even have the strength to fight, and how to respond is really nerve-wracking for Arutai.

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the foreign minister will be determined to kill the thief set up by Si Sadu, please wait and see, the foreign minister will leave." Seeing that the matter has come to this point, Arutai's brain is also moving to refuse to agree to Li Zhen's request, not to mention the title of Mohe Moro Khan, I am afraid that in a few days, his army will completely collapse due to lack of food, as the so-called situation is stronger than people, Arutai can only grit his teeth and agree even if he doesn't want to.

"That's good, the king of this is not far away, Eagle Great, send the governor of Arutai out of the camp for this king." Li Zhen saw that Arutai was leaving, and he didn't say anything to stay, but just got up and ordered Yingda to give it away, but he picked up the Persian scimitar sent by Arutai and played with it, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness has two treasure knives in a row, and I don't dare not congratulate them." Not long after Arutai withdrew, Mo Li, who was shaking a feather fan, turned out of the back tent and said with a smile on his face.

"Two? Oh, hahaha......" Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted to what the other treasure knife Mo Li was talking about, and immediately laughed out loud - pulling the scorch is the sharpest knife to cut at the Xue Yantuo Khanate, without him, the fortress is always easy to break through from the inside, isn't it? What's even more interesting is that on the grounds that the head of the Bazhuo Department was set to exterminate Si Sadu, the courtiers wanted to pick the thorn and it was not easy to eat, so they could only pinch their noses and admit the account.

Li Zhen laughed, but Mo Li didn't laugh, just shook the feather fan and nodded softly, which made Li Zhen unable to laugh: "This is over, but the Jingshi is going to be in chaos, His Royal Highness must prepare early." ”

"......" Li Zhen was speechless for a while, glanced at Mo Li strangely, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "The military advisor can really sweep people's fortune, this king is just happy once, don't you need such a blow?" ”

Seeing Li Zhen's stunned appearance, Mo Li laughed out loud, laughing so much that Li Zhen rolled his eyes, but he was helpless, scratched his head and said: "What Mr. Na said should not change the king thinks it is feasible, well, it is now the ninth day of the first month, and the father should have received an urgent letter from the Beijing master, if nothing else, there will be a reply in six or seven days and it will be time to arrive in Beijing. But I don't know what Mr. Mo said about the preparation? ”

Nalong's letter can only be sent to the Dadu Governor's Mansion first, and then forwarded by the Dadu Protectorate to the front of the army with a flying eagle, one and two times, and the time required is at least eight or nine days, according to the time, even if Li Zhen replies to Nalong at this time, he may not be able to catch up, and furthermore, Nalong has already reported the detailed plan to Li Zhen before the operation, Li Zhen already knows it in his heart, and has not found anything wrong, and has already approved the relevant action plan, so although he has just received the news from the Beijing Division today, Li Zhen didn't pay much attention to it, before Alutai came, Li Zhen only exchanged views with Mo Li on the situation in Jingshi, and had no intention of interfering.

Mo Li didn't explain it clearly, just shook the feather fan, and said with an unfathomable look: "Your Highness may return to Beijing after a short time, and the matter of Anxi should have been arranged early." ”

Well? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then Mo Li's face was not like a smile, and his mind was immediately condensed, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought......
