Yang Dong's eyes widened instantly, knowing that there was fraud, he still had to go to the appointment, and the prince would not have a brain...... Questions, right?

"You stay in my place to command, no matter whether I come back or not, as long as the enemy does not enter the artillery coverage area, do not leave the camp."

Li Huai instructed Yang Dong.

Yang Dong was a little embarrassed, and said bluntly: "If Tu Nao controls you, then it will be pointless for us to attack." ”

There is no mercy in war.

The enemy could die at any time.

Li Huai smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, unless they want to start a full-scale war with Liangzhou." ”

Besides.

"This war is originally to pave the way for peace talks with the Gaochang royal department, as long as they don't let them go through this gap, as long as Qi Yuanbai can take the Jingtai region as scheduled, they will definitely sit at the negotiating table."

War is not only about winning or losing, but also about achieving favorable strategic effects, and no matter how the two sides fight, they will eventually return to the political level.

Unless there is a one-sided situation that can uproot the other side, it will become a war of annihilation.

Yang Dong saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he said: "Transfer a battalion of troops to follow you, and transfer the White Horse Righteous Army." ”

Li Huai smiled and shook his head, "Since it is a face-to-face interview, it must be a face-to-face sitting talk, such a close distance, if Tu Nao really has thoughts about me, let alone a battalion, even if the entire Liang army is nearby, it will be too late." ”

"It will also make them feel that I am a coward who is afraid of death, and I will definitely get an inch when the time comes."

Yang Dong felt that what he said also made sense, but how to ensure his safety, she was thinking about how to stop him.

even thought that when he turned around and quietly knocked him unconscious, when he woke up, the battle would probably be over.

Li Huai said at this time: "Tell you quietly, there is a master behind me, right?" ”

The last two words, he said to the sky.

Yang Dong looked around, "How can there be any masters?" ”

"Otherwise, how do you think I can save the day every time, do you really think I'm lucky?" Li Huai said with a smile.

He raised his hand and touched the top of her head again.

"Wait for me to come back."

Without waiting for Yang Dong to stop him again, Li Huai left directly.

"What nonsense!"

Yang Dong has no way to deal with him, this guy is too bold.

A mile outside the camp.

Tu Nao set up a table in the middle of the road, two braised lamb legs, and two jars of Western Regions milk wine.

He stepped on a stool with one foot, eating and drinking as if he had come to eat supper.

Suddenly.

He felt an unusual aura, and he lifted his eyelids and glanced forward, through the thin night mist.

Freshly dressed and angry horses, riding alone.

Tu Nao's expression was slightly surprised, "He dared to go to the appointment alone?" ”

As the figure got closer and closer, he gradually saw clearly, the white horse, the military uniform of the Liang Army, a horse chopping knife hanging from his waist, a bow across the waist, and more than a dozen arrows in the quiver, emitting a cold blue light, as if it was cast by cold ice.

Although it was the first time he had seen Li Huai, he hadn't even seen his portrait before, but he had a feeling of old acquaintance.

Tu Nao put down the meat in his hand, got up slowly, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness King Liang, the fruit warrior, dare to go to the appointment alone, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" ”

Li Huai got off the horse, also gave his hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to harm me, I don't have many people with me, I bet you won't hurt me." ”

"Haha!"

Tu Nao's hearty laughter gave people a very rough feeling, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, please sit down, please have a few drinks with me." He raised his hand.

"Thank you."

Li Huai untied his saber, stood on the edge of the table, sat down opposite him, looked at the leg of lamb in front of him, he took out a bag of refined salt from his arms, and sprinkled it.

"Do you want to try it?"

After Li Huai finished using it, he handed over the remaining salt.

Tu Nao was stunned, not to mention that he came out alone, he also brought condiments, and he came for a picnic.

He raised his hand and refused.

"Refined salt is too expensive, I'm afraid that if I eat it, how many cattle and sheep will have to be wasted, it's better not to eat it."

Li Huai put the refined salt in the middle of the table, "The general is so restrained, but why does the general think that refined salt must be expensive?" ”

Why?

"Isn't refined salt inherently expensive?"

Li Huai smiled, "This pack of refined salt, in my Liangzhou, is only sold for less than ten yuan, which is enough for a family of five to eat for half a month." ”

said.

So he drew a dagger, cut a piece of lamb shank, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Authentic sheep.

Fragrant but not ashamed.

The meat is tender and chewy and elastic.

Delicious!

"But you closed the trade, and even your court interceded, and you refused to let the people of the Western Regions eat refined salt." Tu Nao said lightly.

Li Huai no longer said that it was because they provoked first that they closed the trade, and this excuse had been used for a long time, and they must have thought of a countermeasure.

In other words.

"My Central Plains merchant is trading in the Western Regions, can you guarantee his safety?" Li Huai came up with a rhetorical question.

"Why not?" Tu Nao said bluntly.

"The general seems to be unaware that the Hexi Corridor, also known as the 'Blood Corridor' in the Central Plains, must write a suicide note in advance before every caravan departs."

The Corridor of Blood was made up by Li Huaixian, anyway, they didn't know exactly what the Central Plains was, and whatever he said was what he said.

"How many people in the Central Plains have died from the greed of bandits in the Western Regions, and you have not been able to exterminate them for so many years."

This point is not made up by Li Huai, the danger of the Hexi Corridor is well known to the world, but high risk also means high reward.

Before the closure of trade, there were still many caravans that risked their lives just to do a big deal.

Tu Nao found that he couldn't follow his topic, and it was easy to be taken into the ditch, so he asked, "Then if you do business in the Central Plains, will you be able to guarantee safety every time?" ”

"At least we have provided you with official help to your caravans in the Western Regions, and the post stations in the Central Plains can serve you, providing you with necessary water, food, and accommodation, even our own caravans cannot enjoy this kind of treatment." Li Huai said without a pause.

He was angry when he said this, and he would rather eat bran by himself than let his 'friends' nibble on white flour buns, this habit has not changed for thousands of years!

Shouldn't the prestige of a great power be built on unremitting self-improvement?

There's no need to complain about Ide again and again.

When Tu Nao heard this, he was slightly embarrassed, and he wanted to bring disaster to the east and pull the topic to the Central Plains.

I didn't expect to fall into the ditch.

If we continue to talk like this, there will be no results.

"There is only some misunderstanding among us, we were, are, and will be the best allies."

"As friends, we are willing to give you the pasture in the west of Longxi County to resolve our grievances."

Tu Nao said with a smile.

The corners of Li Huai's mouth rose slightly, "Then you are really generous, but I don't need the ranch you sent, I want the Jingtai area more." ”

The corners of Tu Nao's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't sit still, this guy is really too greedy, it's really for the Jingtai area.

That is the throat of the Central Plains in and out of the Hexi Corridor, even if it is with ten pastures, it will not be changed.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, do you really want to see our two clans kill each other, so that the Northern Wilderness can see the jokes?"

"Have you King Gaochang seen the Nine Shadows of the Northern Wilderness, and you also know that the Nine Shadows want to assassinate me, but you have hidden this news from me." Li Huai sneered, is this what a friend should do.

If they had told him earlier that Jiuyou had come to the Western Regions, maybe ...... Butterflies don't die.

Of course, Li Huai would not remember Caidie's death on their heads, he only blamed himself for his lack of ability at that time.

But this is not something that can be proven.

"You have long had the idea of stepping on two boats, and you have even done so, why do you always find an excuse not to send troops every time you fight against the Northern Wilderness?"

Tu Nao was speechless.

Li Huai continued: "Cranes and mussels compete, fishermen benefit, it doesn't matter if you want to be fishermen, but don't treat us as cranes or mussels." ”

"In the face of your pretentious intimidation, betrayal from time to time, and unreliable friendship, we will also be provoked!"

"You have provoked me, you don't want to comfort me, you still have to come to negotiate terms with me, is this something that people can do?"

Tu Nao was stunned in the face of Li Huai's smear bombardment, it was obvious that he had invaded the land of the Western Regions.

Now it's as if the Western Regions are bullying him.

He also wanted to ask, is this a human thing?

Shameless!

Tu Nao poured a bowl of wine fiercely, and slapped the wine bowl on the table, but he couldn't talk about him, so he had to be ruthless.

"Do you think you're going to hold it?"

He pointed to both sides again.

"With the artillery groups you arranged, and the tripping pits dug by you, can you stop our iron cavalry?"

For him these questions.

Li Huai can answer with just two words, "Try?" ”

Brush!

The person behind Tu Nao suddenly pulled out an inch of his knife, and the atmosphere began to be a little tense, filled with a trace of coldness!
