Although the upper echelons of the countries in the Western Regions were not happy, in order to be able to keep their peaceful life, they finally sent this agreement to Li Xiang.

Whether it is forced or voluntary, all countries have paid a real price, but it is a pity that their efforts are a little far from Li Xiang's demands.

"Lord Zhao, take a look."

After Li Xiang finished reading it, he didn't have a good-looking expression on his face, but handed it to Lord Zhao next to him, as for Niu Jinda, this guy is not a basket of words, and you hand it to him in vain.

Lord Zhao looked at every word very carefully, if you want to change Li Xiang, just look at the previous article and don't read it, from which it can also be seen that Lord Zhao is a pure civil official, especially when it comes to the profits of Datang, Lord Zhao must see it carefully, so as not to leave infamy in the future, these civil officials all have the same idea, and they must not bring losses to Datang because of their own mistakes.

"On the whole, the countries of the Western Regions have come this time, and they didn't say that they used some virtual things to fool us, but these real profits seem to be a little insufficient compared to the scale in His Highness's heart."

Lord Zhao used a stick of incense to see the above terms clearly, that day Lord Zhao had already discussed with Li Xiang, it was obvious that the gap between the two sides was very large, it is estimated that this clause could not satisfy Li Xiang, even if Li Xiang gave in, it would not be possible to let this part.

Take the above question about the army, according to Li Xiang's idea, all countries must set up a yamen stationed abroad, and at least the following troops must be stationed there, and the number must be more than 500 people. It's not like they're going to eat it......

But the figures given by the countries of the Western Regions are far from this, they did not mention the matter of setting up yamen stationed abroad in their own countries, they think that now all countries have Tang guild halls, which is already possible, and only need to send a civilian official to be stationed there, as for the issue of the army, people have not even mentioned it.

That's what the previous dynasty did, there was only one liaison office, except for a few guards around him, there was no one else at all, and if there was any conflict, the entire Datang Hall would be like meat on the board.

If we can station 500 soldiers, especially those equipped with new equipment from the Tang Dynasty, then these 500 people are not a joke, even if you have more than 5,000 soldiers, they may not be our opponents, which has been verified on the battlefield.

In case there is any problem in your country, these 500 soldiers can also become the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty, although we have not actually occupied here, but this is also the first step, if we want to occupy this place in the future, it can also bring us a lot of convenience.

The reason why the countries in the Western Regions are reluctant to let the Tang Dynasty send troops over is because they saw the miserable appearance of Gaochang, if they didn't let the Tang Dynasty's army come in, then Gaochang would not have today's days, and they could still have their own sovereignty.

The second is to send the prince to Chang'an to study, the countries just say that they send the children of the royal family, what Li Xiang said before is the son of the emperor, it is best to be the son who can inherit the throne, and there is no canonization of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the inheritance of any country cannot be counted.

This is the right that the suzerainty should have, but the countries in the Western Regions don't want to admit it, if this is the case, then the greatest right of their country is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty, in terms of cultivating the next generation, if the current king and the Tang Dynasty are not the same as the training, who should be listened to at that time?

If the two sides are opposed, then a war is inevitable, the Tang Dynasty just remotely controlled it in Chang'an, and the entire Western Regions will be in a mess, what autonomy do they have at all?

"If you want me to say that these people have not suffered losses, if they have suffered losses in our hands, then is there such a thing? Didn't we say earlier that we should talk while fighting, and now that we just talk about it, have they forgotten about our awesomeness? ”

Although Niu Jinda didn't know what was written on the paper, he was able to observe the words and colors, and when he saw that the faces of Li Xiang and Lord Zhao were not very good, he knew that this matter must not be discussed, we have already put the army in order, and there is no major matter in Gaochang, so we will simply fight with them.

Lord Zhao and Li Xiang glanced at each other, and they also felt that Niu Jinda's meaning could still be considered, we have always been known for being tough in foreign wars, if you just rely on probation, then don't think about anything.

"It's okay to fight, but we have to see how to fight, it's best not to start a full-scale war, if you can fight to make them hurt, you have to fight quickly, we are now seriously short of material reserves, if we fall into a protracted war, it is very likely that we will not be able to support it first."

Lord Zhao said with some hesitation, he knew that the countries in the Western Regions were not easy to handle, if they were not afraid, then it would be very difficult to change this clause, and it would be possible to drag on for several months just for a negotiation, and Lord Zhao had left Chang'an for a long time, and he also wanted to go home to have a look.

"Then this matter has to be handed over to Lao Niu, give you five days, you and your men study it carefully, and see what the Western Regions Alliance is most afraid of, let's fight with them within half a month, but it must be over within half a month, we don't want to defeat them, we just let them submit."

Regarding this kind of purely military matter, Li Xiang is not too clear about the local area, so he handed it over to Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda has nothing to do in the past few days, and after listening to Li Xiang's words, he went out to arrange it.

Since following Li Xiang back to the capital, he has not shown his prestige on the battlefield, and now that he has finally found an opportunity, he has to let the countries of the Western Regions see that your grandfather Niu is not easy to mess with.

After the countries of the Western Regions sent the terms, they were all waiting for Datang's reply, they also wanted to see what Datang's attitude was, if they were not satisfied, you had to explain to us where they were not satisfied, and we would go back and discuss it slowly.

But three days later, a message was sent to the military camp of the Western Regions Alliance, which was not sent by the Tang Dynasty, but was detected by their border scouts, and the Tang army seemed to be about to make a big move......
