The war horses in front of the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion neighed, and more than 1,000 soldiers were ready to go.

Li Qinzai stood outside the gate of the mansion, stared at the faces of Sun Congdong and Liu Asi, and said: "Remember my words, you are just showing up this time, you will leave when you engage in battle, you can't fall in love with war, your lives are not wasted in this place." ”

Sun Congdong hugged his fists and said: "The last general understands that he will only engage in one round of battles, prove to Tubo and Tuyuhun how sharp my Tang firearms are, and fight for Li Xianbo to speak in negotiations." ”

Liu Asi also said: "Fifth Shaolang, the villain has taken away all the parts of the Li family, you must be careful in Liangzhou City, there must be enemy spies lurking in the city, and Fifth Shaolang must not take risks lightly." ”

Li Qinzai glanced at him: "Do you still need to say it?" When you are gone, I will dig a pit and bury myself, leaving only a tube to gasp outside, and the gods will not find me. When you return safely, you will dig me out. ”

Liu Asi smiled bitterly: "You...... There is no need to curse yourself like that. ”

Li Qinzai sighed: "Take care, this time you are on the battlefield, different from robbing the tribe, I am really afraid that you will suddenly come up on the battlefield, thinking that the enemy army on the opposite side is a delicate Tuyuhun girl, stupidly rushing into the enemy formation and planning to capture a few alive and come back......"

"Uncle Li, we're not that stupid......"

"You didn't prove it to me, how do I know you're not stupid? Anyway, I'm worried. Li Qinzai said sadly.

After a solemn farewell, Sun Congdong led more than 1,000 soldiers to step on war horses and leave the city.

Li Qinzai stood outside the gate of the mansion for a long time and did not move, they went, I don't know if there will be casualties, the three-eyed gun is theoretically invincible at close range, but the battlefield situation is ever-changing, and sharp firearms may not really determine the outcome of a war.

After Sun Congdong led the army out of the city, it didn't take long for Princess Honghua to lead her entourage to hurriedly come from the pavilion, and when she saw Li Qinzai standing alone outside the Assassin's Mansion, Princess Honghua couldn't be polite, and stepped forward to ask: "I heard that Li Xianbo ordered his subordinates to send troops?" ”

At this moment, Princess Honghua is no longer the angry and ruined appearance of yesterday, her eyes and expression are full of joy, obviously expressing great joy and appreciation for Li Qinzai's willingness to send troops.

Li Qinzai glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Yes, they are rushing to the front line west of Jishi Mountain, preparing to engage in the battle of Tibet. ”

Princess Honghua said regretfully: "It's a pity that there are only more than 1,000 soldiers, otherwise the whole battle situation may be reversed......"

Li Qinzai smiled: "There is something that the lower official must tell Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

"You say."

"I sent them to send troops, but it doesn't mean that they will fight with Tibet."

Princess Honghua was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that after these more than 1,000 people arrive at the front line of the war between the two countries, they will probably show up in front of the two armies, wave the flag, and then the task will be completed, you continue to fight with Tubo, and my men and horses will be withdrawn immediately."

Princess Honghua said angrily: "Uncle Li, what do you mean by this? ”

Li Qinzai said lazily: "Her Royal Highness the princess has figured out that the people and horses I brought with me are the Tang Mission, do you understand the meaning of 'mission'?" We are a peace-loving bunch, like a flock of white and immaculate white doves......"

Princess Honghua was about to go crazy: "You, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"The mission will not directly participate in the war between your two countries, the purpose of their visit is to tell the two countries that the Datang mission is here and is ready to mediate, so that the soldiers in front of the two countries know about it, and they will be purple."

"You didn't go to the front line to help Tuyuhun fight against Tubo, what's the use of going?"

Li Qinzai stared at Princess Honghua's face and said, "Your Highness wants my subordinates to help you fight in Tibet?" ”

"Of course!"

"Why? Just because you are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty? Heh, how many times have you looted and killed the border people of the Tang Dynasty, don't you remember? Now that something has happened, I know that I have asked the suzeraint country for help, and Datang is a pure and pure injustice in the eyes of Tuyuhun? ”

Princess Honghua blushed and said angrily: "That is the unauthorized move of the small border tribe, and it has nothing to do with the Khan!" ”

"You are also the princess of the Tang Dynasty, is it interesting to say this kind of bad excuse?" Li Qinzai sneered: "Let's talk about interests, so that everyone is more frank, standing at the gate and arguing with you and scolding the street, don't I want to be a Tang envoy?" ”

Princess Honghua said angrily: "What do you want? ”

Li Qinzai said leisurely: "Most of the land has been lost, and I estimate that you don't have much left, so let's do it, I want 10,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep, and 10,000 war horses......"

"In addition, in view of the critical situation in the front and the imminent overthrow of Tuyuhun, please ask the Khan of Nuo Hao and Her Royal Highness the Princess to move from Jishi Mountain to Liangzhou City, and the battle ahead will be commanded by the Khan from afar."

Li Qinzai said earnestly: "The lower officials are also thinking about the safety of the Khan and His Highness, but the army of your country is too stretched. ”

"I'm very worried that if Jishi Mountain can't be defended, the Khan and His Highness will fall into the hands of the Tubo people, your life and death are secondary, and it will be even more troublesome for the Tang Dynasty to mediate from it, the Tubo people's knife is on your neck, what else can the Tang Dynasty say? I had to let them swallow the land of Tuyuhun cleanly. ”

Li Qinzai said it sincerely, his eyes were full of deep concern and worry, but Princess Honghua gasped.

"The wolf's ambition is so vicious!" Princess Honghua was furious: "Li Qinzai, are you an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, or our enemy of Tuyuhun?" ”

Li Qinzai said angrily: "Your Highness is confused? I am an old friend of the people of Tuyuhun. ”

"Phew! Your mind is more vicious than a wolf, let Bengong and the Khan move to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, do you think I don't know what your idea is? ”

"The war is not over yet, you plan to overthrow me and the Khan and annex my Tuyuhun land? Dream! ”

Li Qinzai sneered: "Overhead? Your Highness, your land is about to be lost, is there any point in setting you up? According to His Royal Highness's meaning, he would rather be a prisoner of the Tubo people than a Shunmin of the Tang Dynasty, is this what he means? ”

His expression gradually hardened, and Li Qinzai lowered his face and said: "If Your Highness really means this, I will order Ganliang Sugua and other six states to block the border, and no defeated army and displaced people from Tuyuhun will be allowed to enter the country, including the Khan and Your Highness." ”

Princess Honghua was stunned for a moment, her angry expression gradually calmed down, but a chill floated in her heart.

In front of this Tang envoy, her status as a princess was not respected at all, and Li Qinzai purely regarded her as the wife of Tuyuhun Khan, a complete outsider, and his hostility was clearly exposed.

What's even worse is that it is obviously a threat and intimidation, but it makes so much sense.

If Datang does not send troops for a long time, it is an imminent matter for Tuyuhun to be completely defeated by Tubo, that is to say, she and the Khan will definitely flee, except to flee in the direction of Datang, where else can they go?
