Chapter 176: Li Zhi's Despair
Now that the plan of action has been established, the next thing is easier to do, a good auspicious day of the zodiac has been chosen, and the army assembled in Liangzhou City has also begun to leave the city.
Since the army went south to the present, there are many troops who have been defending the city, and there is no chance to wander around the grassland, and now that Li Xiang's men have taken over the defense of the city, the other armies finally have the opportunity to gallop on horseback.
Prime Minister Midu also received a report from his subordinates, so he also rode to the vicinity of the city, and when he saw the neat queue of Tang troops in front of him, the corners of Prime Minister Midu's mouth also twitched.
This is a naked show of force, but what can it be, now that the Tang army is strong and strong, and has defeated our Ronggong tribe, people are now going uphill, and troops from all over the country are also coming in a steady stream.
On the other hand, Tuyuhun's side made Li Xiang a mess everywhere, especially the third largest tribe, the Ronggong tribe, and even 10,000 cavalry could not be found at the moment.
The most fatal thing is that the news of the capture of the eldest princess also spread, and the tribes on the grassland panicked.
Thinking of this fateful thing one after another, Prime Minister Midu could only close his eyes helplessly, Tuyuhun seemed to be relatively powerful in the past, and he could bring a lot of trouble to Datang, but it was just trouble, if Datang treated it positively, Tuyuhun was really not an opponent.
"Prime Minister, Tang Jun's behavior before the negotiation has a deep impact on me, and there should be a countermeasure!"
Some of the generals under him said worriedly, when I looked back just now, I saw that many soldiers in our queue did not dare to stand up straight, and the Tang Army put too much pressure on us.
"Are we going to send the army out? Is it-for-tat with others? The people who can fight are here, but the Datang army is still coming from all over the country, if we are human by force, then I am afraid that by today next month, the number of their troops will be ten times this, we are not here to engage in confrontation, we are here to negotiate to end all this. ”
Prime Minister Midu gritted his teeth when he spoke, and he was about to bite off the roots of his teeth, how could he be willing to be so humiliated, but the situation is stronger than people, and the gap in comprehensive national strength between the two countries is too big, plus the secret agents in Datang have several letters a day, all of which are telling Datang's determination to fight a decisive battle, does Prime Minister Midu dare to act rashly?
At this time, pulling out your own cavalry to fight for tat can indeed make you feel a little more comfortable, but tomorrow when ten times the strength of the army arrives, what else can we pull out?
"Order the whole battalion to pull out the village and retreat back thirty miles."
Prime Minister Midu saw that the troops in the city were still coming out, so he could only order his troops to retreat, out of sight and out of mind!
After Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin got the news, both of them also felt that Prime Minister Mi Du was not a simple person, and he was able to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach at such a juncture, this person had patience.
We are not afraid of that kind of person who shows his teeth and claws, because all the things of that kind of person are written on his face, and what he is most afraid of is this kind of yin person.
"It seems that when people go to the capital to apologize, this Midu Prime Minister has to go with him."
Cheng Yanjin touched his beard and said.
"You and I will go together, their khan will definitely not go, I should invite a prince, and let this prime minister go with me when the time comes."
Although Qin Qiong does things above board, but when it comes to the lives of the people on the border, some things must be planned for the long term, if something goes wrong in the middle of this Midu Prime Minister, then Tuyuhun will find another prime minister, I'm afraid that if we don't have such a brain, we will save a lot of trouble.
"This kind of person will be forbearant and can't give him time, otherwise there will be another big war in the future, and we will have to be ruthless at the critical moment."
Cheng Yanjin squinted his eyes and said, it is possible to kill the prime ministers of other countries in the territory of Datang, this is a matter of great condemnation in the world, but Tuyuhun has just been defeated, and there will not be much danger, but if this person is allowed to continue to be in charge of Tuyuhun, there will be a big war within ten years.
"The emperor doesn't have to report it, let's take care of anything."
Qin Qiong knew that such a thing could not be told to Li Shimin, once he told Li Shimin, I am afraid that Li Shimin would be pulled into the water, and if the two of them did such a thing, Li Shimin would definitely punish them, after all, they had to give an explanation to the people of the world, but after this incident, whoever was punished more heavily would be rewarded.
Li Shimin is a smart person, you have carried the black pot for the entire Datang, can Datang make you chill?
"This is natural, or the old rule, I will defend the city, and you and Li Xiang's kid will negotiate."
Cheng Yanjin knows that he can't do conspiracy and trickery, don't look at Qin Qiong as a decent person, but his mind is more victorious than himself, and the negotiation has to be handed over to him to do, not to mention that Qin Qiong is the commander of this war.
"You have to patrol more, don't have an accident at the most glorious moment, Tuyuhun still has the strength to fight."
Although Qin Qiong knows that the probability of this is very small, we still have to be fully prepared, if we are arrogant and domineering in the negotiation place, the other party will overtake our back road, and it will be a big shame at that time.
Three days later, Liangzhou City had been prepared, and the negotiation site was still twenty miles outside the city, Li Xiang and General Qin Qiong set off with their troops, or 6,000 people under Li Xiang, they had already verified their status on the grassland, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were imperial soldiers.
Li Zhi looked at Li Xiang in the distance on the city wall, his heart was also full of mixed feelings, last night, he even wanted to send a message to Tuyuhun's people, telling them that Datang didn't really want to fight this battle at all.
However, in the end, as a child of the Tang royal family, he has not made this step of betraying Datang, even if he is an enemy with Li Xiang, but he is not crazy to that extent.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent letter from the imperial court, and the emperor asks His Royal Highness to open it in person."
When Li Zhizheng was in mixed feelings in his heart, Cheng Chumo next to him sent a letter, which was not in the form of a holy decree, which showed that it was a royal private letter, although it was written by the emperor, but it did not alarm too many people, and it was written on it by the prince of Jin......
Li Zhi looked at Cheng Chumo a little confused, why was there a letter from his father at this time? But he didn't have so much time to think about it, so he could only take the letter and find a place where no one was there to open it.
This?
How is this possible?
The contents of it made Li Zhi stunned, and he felt a burst of despair......
