Chapter 254: Tugu Hun

"His Royal Highness came to our grassland, presumably because of this matter, I don't know what His Highness proposes, and what is Datang's attitude?"

The reason why Li Xiang brought Prime Minister Midu here is precisely because this person can see the situation clearly, and he will never waste time on such useless negotiations.

"We opened the skylight and said brightly, the existence of Tuyuhun is good for the Tang Dynasty, not that we are afraid of the Tubo State, but because there are various situations in the country that have not been resolved, during the grassland auction in the previous period, you must have also seen that almost all of the powerful in our country are participating in the auction, so we can't have a large-scale foreign war."

What Li Xiang said is true, in this kind of negotiation process, you say that some clouds are useless, you say that you defend the country for Tuyuhun, can people believe this? You just need to say what is good about yourself, Prime Minister Midu saw that Li Xiang was really frank, and the vigilance in his heart was also lowered a little.

"Does this mean that if war breaks out, Datang will help us Tuyuhun?"

Prime Minister Midu said with some disbelief, you must know that a few months ago, the two countries fought a large-scale war, Tuyuhun even lost a large amount of land in the north, and a large amount of money, and now the two countries are about to enter the negotiation stage, and no one will believe this.

"Even if Datang does its best to help you, Prime Minister, tell me the truth, how long can you hold out? This is very important for us, and we also need to assess how much we should send troops. ”

Long San next to him heard Li Xiang say this, he really didn't know what to say, we didn't have a plan to help Tuyuhun at all, His Highness said this purely to confuse these people, and also to make them think that we have such a plan, and we will fool you people later.

When Prime Minister Midu and Tuyuhun Khan heard this, both of them were very happy in their hearts, and when they came, they analyzed that Datang sent Li Xiang to the grassland, there must be something important to talk about, but they didn't think that Datang would support Tuyuhun, it seems that Datang still has a fear of Tubo.

"Our Tuyuhun soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and this time it is a battle to defend the country, and they can hold out for at least four months."

As soon as Prime Minister Mi Du finished speaking, Li Xiang laughed next to him, and he still has to brag about it at this time, do you think we don't know your actual situation? If it weren't for the previous war, we believe that four months would have been a dream, but in your current situation, four months would have been a dream.

"Prime Minister, I think we should be open and honest, if you want to say that you can hold out for four months, then even if our Datang army wants to support you, we have plenty of time, and I don't need to come thousands of miles to the grassland to negotiate with you."

Li Xiang's words made Prime Minister Midu a little unable to come to the stage, but they urgently needed the support of Datang, but they didn't want to weaken the prestige of their country, once they repelled the attack of the Tubo State, if Datang contributed too much, they would also cut a large piece of meat on their bodies, and this kid in front of him was not a vegetarian.

"Up to two months ......"

When Prime Minister Midu said this, the whole person didn't dare to raise his head, this is the real situation of Tuyuhun now, don't look at it in their land, but after the retreat of the Tang army, the melee between the tribes was too ruthless, and some tribes did not lose much when they fought with the Tang army, but were wiped out in the process of moving south, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the grassland.

It is also in this kind of civil war that Tuyuhun's strength has been consumed a lot, so being able to hold out for two months is already their greatest ability.

"The time is too short, in these two months, even if we deploy troops as quickly as possible, we can't save Tuyuhun from destruction."

Li Xiang is definitely an excellent actor, let the family tell the truth, and he can't save it, but what he said is also the truth, the army of Tubo has reached the border, which was not expected by both countries, if it takes a little longer, Datang still has time to dispatch troops, but in just two months, even the effort on the road is not enough.

"So what are we going to do?"

Prime Minister Midu was like a person who fell off a cliff, holding Li Xiang in his hand and throwing down a rope, but now Li Xiang suddenly said that this rope was useless, and Prime Minister Midu felt that the strength of his whole body was drained.

The Tuyuhun Khan next to him also took a step back, Li Xiang looked up at the old guard, of course, it didn't attract his attention, maybe this guy also sighed at the destruction of Tuyuhun.

"We really want to help you, but it's a pity that this time is too short, we can't deploy troops in two months, although there is a part of the army in Liangzhou City, but we have to ensure the safety of our own people first, once all of them go out of the city to help you, in case someone inside you attack the border city, then our people will be finished."

Seeing that the other party was defeated step by step, Li Xiang also thought about how to guide to the agreement, of course, the action can't be too fast, if it's too fast, the prime minister on the other side is not a fool.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, all of our troops are more than four hundred miles away from Liangzhou City, how can they possibly cause any kind of damage to Nanzhou City? If Your Highness doesn't believe me, we can continue to let the army retreat south. ”

Prime Minister Midu said a little anxiously, if it is for this reason, it is easy to say, it is a big deal that we will withdraw the army to the south, after all, there is a war soon, and the troops in the north must all be withdrawn to the south, and there are not many troops left here, and now even if they are all withdrawn, it will be like this.

Tuyuhun Khan wanted to interject, but thinking of his current identity, he swallowed this sentence stiffly, the north can't not keep a little army, if we don't keep the army, when we fight against Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will send troops at any time, and they will divide our ......

Tuyuhun Khan finally understood what the helplessness of a small country is, that is, when you consider one big country, then there is no way to take into account another big country, but both of them have the ability to pinch you to death......
