Chapter 517: The First Battle
Negotiations between countries are a very cumbersome affair, and definitely more than once or twice.
The two countries must attack or defend step by step in the endless quarrels and scolding streets, knock on each other's psychological defenses little by little, and finally achieve the interests that their countries need.
This is the case with Lee Chin-jae and Princess Honghwa.
Both of them are actually envoys, each representing their own country.
Talk, you scold me, I give you a middle finger, you wish my whole family prosperity, I pray that God will bury you quickly......
After talking about business, continue to greet each other's family and friends during the intermission, and then continue to talk about business.
Li Qinzai doesn't know how others negotiate it, it is said that there have been many awesome negotiators from ancient times to the present, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Zhuge Liang or something, people talk elegantly, and often quote scriptures and classics to fight Confucianism.
Li Qinzai can't do it, the limited level of education is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the other party is a woman in her forties, so she really can't fight with her tongue.
However, in the alternative field of threatening, intimidation and scolding, Li Qinzai feels that he still has the strength to fight.
No, Princess Honghua's eyes were already red, and she was about to cry angrily.
The mother-in-law in her forties was still drinking with him in the Juyi Hall yesterday, hugging each other's fists and calling her brother, but today the pear blossoms brought the rain to tears, and the visual gap was a bit big.
"Your Highness, you are an envoy representing the Khan of Nohobo, you must be strong." Li Qinzai sincerely persuaded.
Crying halfway through a quarrel, it's so boring, you can change players and continue to argue, crying is a bad behavior.
"Get out!" Brother Honghua roared roughly, wiped his eyes fiercely, his tears were gone, and he was returning to the blue.
Li Qinzai said tentatively: "Why don't you ...... Fight again tomorrow? ”
"Don't even think about it, let's make things clear today, your generals have just set off, and they still have time to change the military order, is it still useful to wait until tomorrow?" Princess Honghua said angrily.
Li Qinzai smiled: "Your Highness, you speak first." ”
Princess Honghua gritted her teeth loudly, and after a long time, she said coldly: "We can't take out 10,000 cows, sheep and horses, 5,000 cattle, 5,000 sheep, and 5,000 horses, so I will write to the Khan and ask him to send them to Liangzhou City immediately." ”
"There is no need to discuss the matter of moving to Liangzhou City, Li Qinzai, you are an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, don't deceive people too much, you are not good for the Tang Dynasty if you fall into the well like Tuyuhun."
"Tuguhun has destroyed the country, there is no buffer zone between Datang and Tubo, you can only face the threat of Tubo in the next hundred and ten years, are you sure this is in the interests of Datang?"
Li Qinzai looked at her in surprise.
Gua Po Niang is not stupid, she speaks very clearly and logically.
It's a pity that the elbow is still turned outward, in this era, a woman's position can really only stand at her mother-in-law's house, which is a helpless rule.
The melon lady who is so clearly organized is not easy to mess with, and she must fight again next time. When the opponent is in good condition, avoiding his edge is the right way, and choosing a time when she is confused to talk about business can bluff her into a daze.
"Let's do it first, we can put aside the matter of moving to Liangzhou City for the time being."
"Your Highness, the lower officials are really well-intentioned, I really can't bear the Khan and His Highness to fall into the hands of the Tubo people and suffer humiliation, at least the Tang Dynasty is still very benevolent and friendly to the Khan and His Highness, right?" Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Princess Honghua gritted her teeth and said, "That's right! ”
Li Qinzai clapped his hands, called an errand officer from the Assassin Mansion, and said: "Hurry up and whip out of the city, catch up with the soldiers of the forbidden army, pass on our military orders, and after entering Tuyuhun, you can engage in battle with Tubo and help Nuo Haobo Khan retreat from the enemy." Just go! ”
The messenger clenched his fists, turned around and ran away.
Li Qinzai smiled at Princess Honghua again: "Your Highness, the lower official will do what he says, as His Highness wishes, my Tang soldiers will have the first battlefield confrontation with Tubo." ”
Princess Honghua's face softened at this time, and she nodded and said arrogantly: "In this way, the Khan of the Palace Daino Hao Bowl thanks Uncle Li County." ”
Li Qinzai got up and said with a smile: "Xiaguan respectfully sends Her Royal Highness the princess back to the pavilion to rest." ”
"You don't need to send it!"
"Don't send cattle and sheep......"
"Li Qinzai, if this palace has the opportunity to return to Chang'an, you will be better off than dead in front of the Son of Heaven!"
“…… Add cattle and sheep too. ”
…………
After galloping for a whole day, Sun Congdong led his troops to finally reach the front line of the two countries west of Jishi Mountain.
As soon as he entered the war zone, he was stopped by the Tuyuhun army, and after Sun Congdong identified himself, he was led by the Tuyuhun generals to the Nuo Hao Bowl Khan.
The Khan of Nohobo was a greasy middle-aged man in his fifties.
His greasy is not about meat jokes and skewers, he is greasy in the literal sense. Nomads are not good at farming, mainly cattle, sheep and other meat, eat too much meat with a layer of oil floating on the face, look like a suckling pig just out of the oven, shiny oil makes people want to cut a knife.
The Khan was very surprised by the arrival of the Tang Dynasty, and naively thought that the Tang army was sincerely coming to help him fight Tibet.
Friends came and had wine, didn't say it, beef and mutton treats.
Sun Congdong and Liu Asi were also thick-skinned, and they didn't come to help sincerely, but they didn't delay them from eating and drinking, and they didn't feel guilty at all.
Of course, Nuo Hao Bo Khan was also a little disappointed, because the number of people in the starting lineup of the Tang Army was too small.
But it doesn't matter, Tang Jun's willingness to send troops is an attitude, and what Nuo Hao Khan needs is this kind of attitude.
With the first dispatch of troops, there will inevitably be a second time, and the third time, Tuyuhun's pressure on Tubo will slowly transfer to the Tang Dynasty, and the Khanate will be able to keep it.
Looking closely at this army, the Khan found that in addition to the horizontal swords, hooks, sickles, and arrows and crossbows necessary for the Tang army, each of them also carried a strange weapon with three long holes, and each of them carried a sheepskin bag bulging from his waist, and he did not know what it contained.
It is probably the love of the suzerainty to the vassal state.
The curious Nuo Hao Bo Khan asked about this strange weapon during the banquet, Sun Congdong and Liu Ah Si just smiled, and they only said that the Khan would know after the battle with Tubo tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the officers and men of the Tang Army, who had high hopes from the Khan of Nuo Haobo, opened the front line west of Jishi Mountain after eating a war meal.
The Khan swept away the despair of many days, and when he got up this morning, he was not only cute, but also full of ambition, and strongly expressed his willingness to go to the front line with the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, and the Khan wanted to personally cheer for the soldiers of the Tang Army.
The war horses galloped, and thousands of Tuyuhun horses surrounded more than 1,000 Tang army soldiers, and arrived on a plain west of Jishi Mountain more than an hour later.
Seven or eight miles away in the distance, it is the Tibetan camp with the banner covering the sun.
The Tibetans had already lined up in battle, and before the two armies had yet to start, the desolate horn had already whimpered and blewed.
