Chapter 632: Never Retreat

"The Western Turkic general Kang Ying paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

General Kang Ying is still very knowledgeable about etiquette, although he is also a man of his own words in the Western Turkic country, but when he saw Li Xiang, this guy still bent down honestly, although he did not kneel and bow, but in diplomatic etiquette, this is already the highest in this era, if Li Xiang asked him to kneel and bow, then what should he do when he sees Li Shimin?

Lord Zhao nodded lightly beside him, indicating that this number of etiquette can be said to be reasonable, if you can't bend down to this angle, it means that the other party has a provocative meaning, the reason why Li Xiang brought Lord Zhao is also because he doesn't know these etiquette, in case he gives the other party the wrong signal, then the loss is the entire Tang Dynasty, which is also the main reason why Lord Zhao appears here.

"General, please."

Li Xiang said very coldly, and he didn't even have a seat.

"Since the end of the last war, we have not had any entanglement with your Western Turks, but according to my subordinates, you had a conflict with our army a few days ago, I don't know if this is true?"

Li Xiang seized the initiative when he came up, and expounded several issues in just a few sentences, first explaining that you were the losers, and you lost the last war, and then said that there was a conflict, even if there was a war between our two sides, it was provoked by you people, and it had nothing to do with us Datang.

General Kang Ying is not just a leader of troops, he is a capable person of the Western Turks, including the Western Turk Khan, he will listen to his opinion on anything, and he also heard the meaning of Li Xiang's words, he can't bear this responsibility.

"His Royal Highness, there is actually another hidden ...... in this matter"

At that time, the reason why the two armies had a dispute, the Tang army had to bear the main responsibility, both sides were originally patrolling along the border, but the Tang army suddenly crossed the border line and rushed towards them, and the Western Turkic army made a defensive posture, which was also a normal thing, but the Tang army thought that the Western Turkic army had offended them and wanted to take all these people away.

At that time, in order to protect themselves, the Western Turkic army could only take up arms, if you want to talk about casualties, the Western Turkic army is ten times larger than the Tang Dynasty, even if it is responsible, it should be the Western Turkic people to hold them accountable, Li Xiang is now obviously beating a rake.

"What you're talking about is completely different from what I've heard."

Li Xiang asked General Kang Ying to finish speaking very calmly, but in the end, this sentence came to General Kang Ying was so anxious that he was about to cry, obviously it was your people who were looking for trouble, how could you be so unreasonable?

Some people behind him were also more angry, they thought that Li Xiang was black and white upside down, but thinking of the combat effectiveness of the Tang army that day, these people suppressed their anger again, and thought that when they came, the general explained, none of you are allowed to speak, if anyone sabotages this negotiation, the whole family will be beheaded after going back.

General Kang Ying still wanted to quibble, but seeing Li Xiang's frowning brows, this guy could only swallow the rest of the words, if Li Xiang was upset, that war would be inevitable.

People from all countries in the Western Regions have also heard that Li Xiang is now like a lion, as long as someone dares to disobey him, then the country will disappear in an instant.

They don't know about other places, but Xue Yantuo and they are very clear, in the past, they and Xue Yantuo also had some friction near the border, and they are also very clear about Xue Yantuo's combat effectiveness, just such a seemingly relatively powerful country has been dealt with in less than half a year, and it can be imagined that Li Xiang's combat effectiveness is very strong.

General Kang Ying tried to mediate his emotions, don't argue with Li Xiang, if it really argues, the Tang army is likely to go all the way west, where can the Western Turks go then? Do you want to keep running west?

"This matter still needs to be investigated into the possible existence of what you said, and this time I came down to argue with His Highness not for these things, but to shake hands with His Highness, and the armies of both sides retreated separately to avoid similar things from happening."

General Kang Ying also knows that saying something similar means that you are showing weakness, obviously the two sides are fighting the bull, but you take a step back, it should be said that you have taken three steps back, so if people go forward, then you can only choose to continue to retreat.

Lord Zhao and Niu Jinda were also puzzled, are your Western Regions Alliance really weak to this level? If we really fight, especially on your territory, we may not be able to win, and even if we win such a victory in Gaochang, then we dare not say that we can replicate it on your territory.

Niu Jinda is very clear, as a military general, of course he knows how to win this time, we have been infiltrated in Gaochang for half a year, this is the current result, if the two sides fight on the battlefield, there is no way to win without half a year.

This is still in the land of Gaochang, if the two sides really fight in the Western Regions further west, it will not be a matter of half a year, it is very likely that the battle line will be extended, and then Datang will fall into the mud of this war, and it will not be good for Datang.

Therefore, General Kang Ying's concession made Niu Jinda feel incredible, don't you think about your advantages before negotiating? Or is it just about our strengths?

In the early years of the Tuyuhun negotiations, we still need to talk about our own advantages, but now it is not that time, our advantages can be seen by people all day long, but their own advantages can not be seen, this is the butterfly effect brought by strong strength.

"Both sides retreat? I don't understand what the general meant, now there is turmoil in Gaochang, including the border defense line, all of which are assisted by our Tang army, if we retreat, does this mean that the border of Gaochang will also retreat? I'm afraid this is not something I can decide, it is related to the territorial integrity of Gaochang Kingdom. ”

Li Xiang's words made Lord Zhao applaud beside him, originally thought that Li Xiang was young and might suffer a loss in diplomatic negotiations, but after listening to Li Xiang's response plan, Lord Zhao could only say that the blue is better than the blue, which means that we will not retreat, if we want to retreat, you can only retreat.
