According to General Kang Ying's idea, the two sides should retreat from each other, and now there is a separation zone in the middle, which is good for both sides, and now the Western Regions Alliance has retreated for dozens of miles, if the Tang army does not move, it is not equivalent to a unilateral retreat?

Now that the Tang army has not attacked, they already feel the danger, if the Tang army really attacks one day, they will instantly burn the buffer zone in the center.

"His Royal Highness, for the sake of the security of the border, I hope that both of us can retreat together and hand over the border area to the army of Gaochang Kingdom to defend, I don't know what His Highness thinks?"

General Kang Ying did not retreat on this point, only our side retreated, which is tantamount to forcing us even more uncomfortable, and when you attack, you can directly cross these dozens of miles and directly enter our hinterland.

"For the security of the border, we should work hard, but now Gaochang is in chaos, unable to maintain the peace of the border area, as the suzerainty of Gaochang, we have received their call for help, we have the obligation to ensure the safety of the border area, if the general is afraid of conflict with us, then I think the general should make greater concessions, what I can guarantee is not to take a step out of the border."

Li Xiang still has the same attitude, and it is impossible to take a step back, of course, it is useless for Li Xiang's guarantee.

Although Li Xiang promised not to go out, there are many emergencies in this, such as what your coalition forces are doing to us, can we still endure it? It's absolutely impossible.

"Since His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun said so, can you sign an alliance with us, and we will not invade each other and will always be a country of brothers."

General Kang Ying said overjoyed, he didn't take into account the meaning of Li Xiang's painting, but felt that Li Xiang really didn't want to go to the west, since this is the case, why can't he sign a covenant for me?

When General Kang Ying said this, Lord Zhao and Niu Jinda also understood, General Kang Ying must have come here today to sign this alliance, and after this alliance is signed, the armies of the countries in the Western Regions will definitely be disbanded, and the comprehensive strength of their countries is not very strong, and it is already very difficult to maintain such an army.

The comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty is the strongest in this period, but it is also very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to maintain a distant army, it is conceivable that the countries of the Western Regions have compared their comprehensive national strength with the Tang Dynasty, and they can only catch up with a certain province of the Tang Dynasty, and they are still relatively poor.

"In my own opinion, I am very willing to conclude such an agreement with the general, but you also know that I can't be such a master, within our Tang Empire, if you want to sign such an agreement, you must wait for the order of the imperial court, without the order of the imperial court, no one is allowed to conclude an agreement with a foreign country privately."

If you want to sign the agreement, the rights in Li Xiang's hands are enough, but it is so easy for you to sign the agreement, how can this work, then aren't we working here in vain?

The Tang Dynasty has long formulated the policy of the Western Regions, that is, to set up the Western Regions Protectorate to manage all countries, including your Western Turks, although Li Shimin did not say it explicitly, but Li Xiang also knew what Li Shimin meant in his heart.

"Then we can wait."

General Kang Ying once again exposed his weakness, and such words can be said, but one can imagine what kind of situation they are in now.

The natural environment of the countries in the Western Regions is relatively harsh, and if the army is gathered in one place for a long time, then there will be a shortage of a large number of labor in the country, you must know that their army is not a standing army, and the ethnic groups on the grassland are basically like this, and they have to carry out a series of labor such as grazing in peacetime, and they will only be assembled in wartime.

Now more than 100,000 troops are on the border line of Gaochang, the domestic labor force has been reduced a lot, and their food, drink and Lazar have to be transported from the rear, when the army on the grassland fights, it relies on a plunder, their own logistics are actually very small, and the war is used to make money, if they were to lose money, the country would have been reversed.

Now their domestic opposition has been heard, either kill Gaochang, or retreat quickly, these are the two voices in their country, but before retreating, you must get the promise of Datang, otherwise you will retreat on the front foot, and the army of Datang on the back foot will be killed, and it will be impossible for you to think about forming a coalition army.

"This matter is very important, I need to write to Chang'an City, I may not be able to reply to the general for the time being, but now it's time for lunch, let's have dinner together?"

Li Xiang has basically figured out the idea of the Western Regions Alliance, and there is no need to continue to talk about it now, it seems that our strategy is about to change again.

General Kang Ying declined the proposal to have dinner together, he had to return to his barracks, which also gave him a feeling of insecurity, there were only about twenty guards around, if Li Xiang was willing, it was possible to leave his head here at any time, although Li Xiang had never done such a thing before, but General Kang Ying still felt that it was better to go back.

As for the time for the next negotiation to start, Li Xiang set it for seven days later, because seven days is the shortest time for carrier pigeons to go back and forth, if he does not get instructions from Chang'an City, then this negotiation cannot be continued.

Thinking about the money spent in the past seven days, General Kang Ying is a pain in the flesh.

However, he couldn't force Li Xiang on this matter, so he could only listen honestly, as for the prime minister of Loulan Kingdom next to him, this guy didn't say a word from beginning to end, don't look at him as a wise man, but no matter how many conspiracies and tricks you have, it may be useless in the face of absolute strength.

Along the way, he has seen the military might of the Tang army, so when facing Li Xiang, this guy also wanted to talk less, because he thought of a sentence from the Han people, that is, less talk and less mistakes, not to say good, Loulan is different from the Western Turks, Loulan is only equivalent to a state and county in the Tang Dynasty, if something really happens, the destruction will be in the blink of an eye.

When these people went back, they found that there were already many Gaochang people in the Tang army, which showed that the Tang army's army had been replenished and was even stronger than before.

Now the two of them have no idea of fighting, and the previous victory and defeat may have reached three or seven.
