Chapter 143:-for-tat
"Wait, what did General Qin say? Have we already been defeated? ”
Prime Minister Midu did not let General Qin Qiong continue, because what General Qin Qiong said was really a bit excessive, even if they were defeated in Tuyuhun, some of these conditions might not be agreed.
The first is to let their khan go to Chang'an City to apologize, this is simply nonsense, if their khan goes to Chang'an City and is detained, then the entire Tuyuhun will not be leaderless?
Speaking of this second open trade route, you must know that the trade route is their first major financial pillar for Tuyuhun, if it is opened like this, their financial income will drop by more than one-third, and it may even be more, at that time, the whole Tuyuhun will not have money?
The most important thing is to build a new city, now Liangzhou City is not a small threat to them, if they are allowed to build a new city in the southwest of Liangzhou City, it is equivalent to smashing a nail into the grassland, they don't know how many troops to send to stare at this nail, not to mention the cost of money in the long run, every day so frightened to live, I am afraid that this is also unacceptable to every Tuyuhun person.
"This is not a defeated agreement, but it was issued by the Tang Dynasty after careful consideration, and I hope that Prime Minister Midu can consider it carefully."
General Qin Qiong waved his hand, and the soldiers next to him presented him with a letter of state.
"It's just nonsense, you Tang Dynasty is in vain for the Celestial Empire, isn't this bullying my small country and widows?"
In addition to the conditions proposed by General Qin Qiong just now, there were some terms that they couldn't agree to, and when Prime Minister Midu saw these terms, his whole beard was about to rise.
"The Prime Minister can't blame us for this matter, your crown prince should have thought of all this when he assassinated our eldest grandson in Chang'an City, if you didn't do it so much, we would still be able to coexist peacefully, but judging from the current situation, my Datang must punish Tuyuhun."
General Qin Qiong said righteously, to tell the truth, Tuyuhun is used to being arrogant here, and they always feel that Datang will not really go to war, but when they saw this holy decree, they knew that Datang had actually endured them for a long time, and this time Datang finally caught the opportunity.
"If you want to add sin, why not? How can you prove that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince acted against your eldest grandson, this is all what you said, and until now our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in your hands, as far as I know, you have no evidence, right? ”
The prime minister had already noticed Li Xiang, although Li Xiang was wearing a black armor, but the clothes inside were bright yellow, he should be a member of the Tang royal family, but he didn't know which prince Li Xiang was.
"If the evidence is not evidence, is it so important?"
Li Xiang didn't speak all the time, but at this moment, Prime Minister Mi Du looked over, and Li Xiang's words floated out.
"What do you mean by that?"
Prime Minister Midu frowned and said, A young man is so arrogant when he speaks, even if you are a member of the Tang Imperial Family, this is not a place for you to speak.
"Tuyuhun is just a clown, I want to do it to you is a matter of one sentence, if we are happy, we can look for evidence, and if we are unhappy, we will fight if there is no evidence."
Li Xiang leaned forward and said this very arrogantly, General Qin Qiong also shook his head with a smile next to him, he was still a child after all, but the words he said were uplifting.
"What qualifications do you have to say that?"
Prime Minister Midu was about to die of anger, but he didn't think that Li Xiang was a very important role, if it was a very important role, how could he be sent to the front line? Even royalty is the kind of fringe character.
"Prime Minister, let me introduce you, this is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of our emperor."
General Qin Qiong deliberately stood up and said, although he is his own general in his own home, but in front of others, he should give Li Xiang enough face.
This is that Li Xiang?
Prime Minister Midu has received a number of secret reports from Chang'an City recently, most of which are directly related to this Li Xiang, and he also had a great interest in Li Xiang at that time, and now he sees the popularity of this person in front of him, so angry that the roots of his teeth itch, why don't we have such a young talent in Tuyuhun?
"Then Your Highness thinks that we Tuyuhun are being slaughtered by others?"
Prime Minister Midu bowed his hand slightly, which can be regarded as his own courtesy.
"My Datang is as big as a cow, you Tuyuhun is as small as a mouse, no matter how much advantage you have at some times, when facing my Datang, your disadvantages will soon be revealed, my Datang only needs to divide the southwestern states into war zones, and other regions can continue to develop steadily, only need to import food and soldiers, but what about your Tuyuhun, the whole territory is a battlefield, you don't even have a place to recuperate, as short as three months or more than half a year, can you Tuyuhun still hold on?"
Li Xiang said these words very easily, but Prime Minister Mi Du was already scared stupid, everyone knew the gap between Datang and Tuyuhun in the past, but no one summed up these words, so they thought that the danger was still early, and they didn't know how Datang would deal with them, but when Li Xiang said this, Mi Ducheng was really speechless.
"I Tuyuhun has hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can fight well, under the leadership of my Khan, as long as we do not surrender, your southwest border will never be peaceful, and our cavalry comes and goes without a trace, you can't catch us at all."
The two sides are engaged in diplomatic negotiations, even if they are stepped on by the other side, Prime Minister Midu cannot show half of his timidity, if he shows half of his timidity at this time, it will be easy for the other party to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Why do we need to arrest you, this grassland has been your home since ancient times, and you are much more familiar with this place than we are......"
When Li Xiang said this, Prime Minister Midu and the people behind him all nodded, and there was still a smug look on their faces, it's good that you kid can understand this, maybe your Datang is very powerful in other places, but if you go to this Tuguhun grassland, you have to coil it if it's a dragon, and you have to lie down if it's a tiger, and you can't make any tricks.
General Qin Qiong also wondered, how can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?
