The Western Turkic Khan's heart is bleeding at the moment, and the price is too great to use the heads of these people to stop the rumors, but thinking about Li Xiang's face just now, he has to do this, if he doesn't do this, it may bring war to the Turks, can the current Turks withstand the attack of the Tang Dynasty?

There is also General Kang Ying's side, the Western Turkic Khan has already received a secret report, and General Kang Ying and the Tang army generals have close contacts, and perhaps there are some other things between the two sides, which is also uncertain.

In addition, what Li Xiang said just now, General Kang Ying is very likely to be his person, and the army led by this guy is the elite of the entire Western Turks, if it really becomes Li Xiang's people, the Western Turks have already lost the war at the beginning.

"Is His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince still satisfied?"

Hearing Abarasa's words, the Western Turkic Khan couldn't wait to go over and slap him, look at the appearance of you dog slave, who is your master?

But now he doesn't dare to do this, after all, Abarasa bowed his head like this for him, you just pretended to be bullish and pretended to be too much, and almost plunged the entire Turkic into a war, let's pretend to be a grandson for you now to round this matter, if you still want to punish me, then who will give you your life in the future, I am afraid that there will be no second person in the entire Western Turks.

"That's it, let's start the second thing, in the places around Gaochang, you Western Turks can't station so many troops, if you station so many troops around there, we will also have more troops stationed correspondingly, if there is any conflict between the two sides, who can take it?"

Abarasha listened to Li Xiang's words, and her mind didn't turn her mind for a while, she originally thought that what she was going to discuss today was the matter of Li You, the king of Qi, but why did she suddenly arrive at the garrison in the border area?

"Your Royal Highness, aren't we mainly here today to discuss this matter in the palace? As for the border area, or we'll ...... another day."

Some things have a plan, so he, who is the prime minister, can call the shots, but there is no plan for things in the border area, how can he make decisions casually? And with just a few simple actions, the Western Turkic Khan had no way to tell himself, and if he understood the wrong meaning at that time, it might be a great crime to kill his head.

"The Khan and the Prime Minister are here, so why should we change the day? It's good for all of us to settle things today, what do you say, Khan? ”

Li Xiang took the edict just now, and then put it in front of the Western Turkic Khan, this edict is useless until you don't use the Great Seal.

The Western Turk Khan never thought that Li Xiang would turn back, originally thought that this guy would acquiesce to the current situation, he and Abarasha discussed in the courtyard outside, and the Western Turkic Khan listened in the courtyard inside, I really didn't expect Li Xiang not to play cards according to the routine.

"His Royal Highness is right, the border area is not suitable for having so many troops, but we also have to ensure the security of the border area, so I am ready to withdraw 20,000 cavalry."

The Western Turkic Khan knew that this opportunity for negotiation was very difficult, and that the monthly expenses of stationing so many people in the border area were not a small amount, and General Kang Ying was now not trusted, and withdrew 20,000 royal court cavalry, which could be regarded as a trump card back.

"Otherwise, let's withdraw a little more, your Western Turks have a total of 80,000 troops in the border area, if you don't worry about our Tang army, then keep your 20,000 most elite royal court cavalry, as for the rest of the army, I think it's better to withdraw them all, if they are all in the border area, the money you spend every month is not a small amount."

Li Xiang has long seen clearly what the Western Turkic Khan thinks, so he has already prepared it for you, and the elites under your command can't be withdrawn for me, they must be within the muzzle of our Tang Dynasty, as long as you look at your most elite army, the rest of these people can't afford to make any waves.

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson ......"

The Western Turk Khan was very angry, are you teaching me to do things? After all, I am also the Khan of the Western Turks, and I am also one of the few powerful people in the entire Western Regions, and now you are actually doing this, do you really treat our Western Turks as mud?

"I am also doing this for the security of our two sides, if there are too many troops in the border area, then it will be difficult for us to maintain peace between the two sides, there will be more conflicts between the two sides, one today, one tomorrow, if people die, they will hate, and then everyone will not have a good life."

Li Xiang's words are full of danger, but the Western Turkic Khan really eats this, lest he will enter a state of war if he does not agree to Li Xiang, just now because of the matter of Li You, the king of Qi, he has to fight, and now it is the body of the border garrison, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Xiang will not start a war.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor is right, in order to ensure peace on the border between the two sides, Ben Khan will leave 20,000 elite royal court iron horsemen, and all the rest will be withdrawn."

The Western Turk Khan gritted his teeth and said that his most elite army was under the threat of the Tang Army, but General Kang Ying was able to bring back other troops, those people were the elite under General Kang Ying, and they had been with him for a long time, if the Western Turk Khan and General Kang Ying had a conflict, those people would not hesitate to stand by General Kang Ying's side.

Abarasha also discovered that Li Xiang was indeed capable, and in a few words, he planted an unstable factor for the Western Turks, and maybe when this unstable factor would plunge the Western Turks into a civil war.

In this case, the Khan will definitely no longer trust General Kang Ying, and the friendship between the two in the early years will not be of much use, and the Khan will definitely be suspicious of General Kang Ying, and then divide the power in the hands of General Kang Ying.

But General Kang Ying also comes from a very large tribe, and the internal forces are also very strong, you want to disperse all the subordinates of others, do you think this is possible?

In these years, everyone is not stupid, no one wants to be divided into smaller and smaller, although the Western Turks are ruled by the Khan, but the tribes are the most intimate.

This is the way of ruling on the grassland, in peacetime, the khan does not care about the life of the tribes, he only needs to recruit troops from their tribes during the war, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, your royal tribe must be the most powerful, which is a bit similar to the Tuyuhun grassland, and now what Li Xiang has to do is to provoke your internal movement.
