Liang Shidu looked at the delivery note in his hand and smiled from ear to ear, "The Turks are generous, worthy of dominating the grassland, look at this hand, there are 10,000 war horses alone." Then I would have 10,000 cavalry at once. I have long wanted to build a strong cavalry, but I am suffering from a shortage of horses and armaments, and this time it is not short. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, my Liang Kingdom ...... for ten thousand years" the ministers began to tout.

Prime Minister Xue Li turned his head and glared at the envoy in the middle, and the other party understood, and immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen is wronged......"

Well??

"Aiqing, why did you cry when you went to the Turks this time and brought back so many materials, I will be rewarded? Is there a grievance in the family? Liang Shi was puzzled.

The envoy kowtowed and explained: "The minister is not crying out for himself, but for my Liang country." Your Majesty, the Turks gave us supplies so generously, it's not a good intention, you don't know the scene at that time, it's really, really humiliating......"

Xue Li took the opportunity to stand up and asked sharply: "You represent my Liang country, and the two countries are not at war, where is the humiliation?" ”

The envoy wiped a handful of tears, "Your Majesty, Xiangguo!" It is said that a weak country has no diplomacy, and today's minister can be regarded as realizing the suffering of Liu Shangshu of the household department. The Turks didn't treat us Liang as human beings at all, and from the beginning to the end, they made me talk on my knees like a dog. ”

What?? Talking on your knees the whole time? Xia Honglu, how did you do it? I'm embarrassed by Liang Guo's face! All the ministers reprimanded one after another, except for Xue Li and Hubu Shangshu.

Liang Shidu's face sank like water, and he waved his hand and pressed the ministers, "Let him continue." ”

"That's it, the minister is asking for help, for the livelihood of my Liang country, bowing his head is nothing. But when I asked them to send troops to help, guess what the Turks said? They didn't want to help at all, and what else did they say, our Liang Guo and Datang are one family, let's kill each other, dog-eat-dog......"

Xue Li kicked the goods down and scolded, "What nonsense? Who is the same family with Datang? ”

"It's not me who said it, it's the Turks who said it, saying that we are all Han people from the Central Plains, and it's good to kill each other and kill them all." I don't have to say anything about this person's acting skills.

Liang Shidu's fists squeaked, "Since they didn't save them when they saw death, why did they promise to give supplies?" ”

The envoy cried, "Your Majesty, do you think they are so kind? It was useless for the minister to kowtow and plead, but in exchange for punches and kicks, he was almost not killed by them, just because the minister said a sentence with cold lips and teeth. The Turks said that in the land of our Liang country, we are not worthy of mentioning to them that our lips are cold and our teeth are cold, and our lips and teeth will not be cold! ”

Xue Li roared hatefully: "Damn! The Turks have humiliated my Liang State so much, Your Majesty, will you return their supplies? ”

Liang Shidu also hated the Turks very much, but he made his fortune with the help of the Turks, so no matter how much anger he had, he could only be buried in his heart.

"Calm down, listen to him."

The envoy continued to speak: "Later, it was the Turkic partial Ashina Dur Mingli, phew! He is also harboring evil intentions. He suggested not sending troops, but he could give us supplies, saying that if we wanted the horses to run, we had to let the horses graze. We were not given supplies for support, but for fear that we would abandon the city and surrender and not kill each other. When the time comes, the pressure on their Turks will be too great. ”

"So what is this shipment?" Xue Li asked with a dark face.

"It's the reward they gave us in order to make us desperately help them resist the Tang Army! To put it bluntly, they didn't treat us as human beings, and wanted us to use them as substitutes for the dead...... Your Majesty, what a shame! Since the establishment of our Liang State, it is still a country, but the Turks do not treat us as human beings...... The minister has wronged His Majesty! ”

Xue Li really wanted to cover his eyes, and said in his heart, how could this product still play? Crying and grabbing the ground, I almost believed it.

He didn't expect that this Xia Honglu was Liang Guohonglu Siqing, who was in charge of diplomacy. This crying is not a performance, half of it is restored, and half of it is really wronged for everyone, and the Turkic barbarians are too special to treat us as inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, what a shame! The minister suggested that we should return the Turkic supplies, and we do not want their kindness in charity. We can live on our own! Even if you can't stop the Tang Army, you will die if you die, we don't want this humiliation! Xue Li, as the prime minister, was like a predator at this time, full of anger.

For a time, many courtiers were infected by him, and they stood up with indignation to denounce the Turks.

Why didn't Liang Shidu want to scold the Turks thousands of times? But he can't do it, without the Turks, he can't be the emperor, so for the sake of the current wealth, you must endure!

Waving his hand and pressing everyone, "Zhuqing, it is a fact that Liang Guo is weak!" It is also an iron law that a weak country has no diplomacy. Now that a strong enemy is coming, we can't offend the backup anymore, otherwise the Liang State will really be gone. ”

Xue Li said hatefully: "Your Majesty, is this humiliation so endured?" Are we really going to help the Turks defend against the Tang Dynasty and serve them as substitutes? ”

Xia Honglu, who was kneeling on the ground, suggested: "Your Majesty, Xiangguo, no, let's vote for the Tang Dynasty." Help Datang kill the Turks together, this revenge will be avenged, look at what they beat me? ”

Xue Li kicked the thing down, "Bastard! At the moment of the great enemy, dare to make great rebellious words to disturb the hearts of our army? For the sake of your own personal vendetta, don't you want the state? Ordinary people can vote for Tang, but we can't, if we vote for Tang, there will be no good end. ”

Liang Shidu's eyes moved slightly, and he said in his heart that Xue Li was good, and his words seemed to remind me that everyone can vote for Tang, but not as a monarch.

At this time, the Shangshu of the Liang State Household Department walked out, "Your Majesty, in the past two days, because of the news that the Tang army is coming, there are already people in the city who have begun to flee south......"

Hiss......

In this way, we don't have to worry about whether we can hold it or not, and when the Tang army besieges the city, the people will directly surrender to the enemy?

Liang Shidu's face was full of bitterness, "The Tang Dynasty is coming, the Turks don't send troops, and rely on our own men and horses to defend the city?" Even if you keep it, the family business you have saved in the past two years will probably be exhausted. How is it good? ”

Liu Shangshu sighed and said: "It would be good if I could not fight with the Tang Army and preserve my strength." It's a pity that we are adjacent to Datang Yanzhou and are the first line of defense. The Turkic Dingxiang is behind, and it is impossible for us not to block the sword for them. ”

At this time, Xue Li raised his eyebrows, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Who said it was impossible? According to the plan of the last court meeting, the minister also sent an envoy all the way to contact the Tang army, and although the reply was ambiguous, as long as it was not said that my Liang State would be destroyed, then there would be a delay. ”

"It's just that because we have a bad relationship with Datang, without the consent of His Majesty, the ministers dare not be arbitrary."

Liang Shidu was pleasantly surprised: "Xiangguo, it's all this time, when you are dying, if you have a good plan, take it out, I am not a prince who knows right and wrong!" It is true that he is an enemy of the Tang Dynasty and a friend of the Turks! But at this time and that time, how can you tell the difference between friend and foe? It depends on the situation! ”
