Chapter 399: Determined to betray

Tanli bowed slightly, and looked around vigilantly: "Hesijia, Father Khan has completely fallen into it, and he can't make a rational judgment at all, and you and I can't watch the Turkic Empire completely destroyed." If we don't return to the Western Continent, the foundation of our ancestors will be cut off by aliens! ”

He Sijia frowned lightly and said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?" ”

Tanley replied: "I want to have a good talk with Li Jiangyao as you said, and ask him to let go of a way to live, stop the fighting, stop the bloodshed, and let us leave here peacefully." ”

He Sijia looked at Tanli suspiciously: "If you do this, aren't you afraid that your father Khan will punish you?" And, why are you telling me this? ”

"Because I need your help!" Thanley blurted out.

"My help? I, a little woman with no soldiers and no power, how can I help you? ”

Tanley shook his head: "My good sister, you are either really confused, or you are deliberately pretending to be confused with your second brother." What is the use of this kind of negotiation if you have the power of soldiers? The most important thing is to influence! Do you think I don't know? When I was ordered by my father Khan to pick you up in Metasequoia City, I already knew very well after only meeting Li Jiangyao, what kind of hostage prisoner are you? It's clear that you teamed up with them to deceive your father Khan and the big fool Yun Qianxue! ”

was told the truth by Tanley, He Sijia couldn't help but smile: "Since the second brother has seen everything, why didn't he find out with his father Khan and Yun Jun at that time?" ”

Tanley smiled, "Hey, am I that kind of person?" For your own sake, go and harm your own sister? Of course, the second brother won't dismantle your platform. ”

He Sijia put away her smile and asked, "How do you want me to help you?" You know, no matter what, I am the princess of the Turkic Empire, and my influence on Li Jiangyao is probably not as great as you think. ”

"It doesn't have much impact on Li Jiangyao, but it doesn't have a small impact on Xu Youchang, right?" Thanny smirked.

"You! Shameless! He Sijia blushed and glared at Tanli fiercely: "The relationship between me and Xu Youchang is an innocent friendship. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll leave immediately! ”

Seeing that she was really angry, Tanley hurriedly relented: "Okay, okay, the second brother said the wrong thing just now, I apologize to you." As for me, I don't actually have any malicious intent, and I know that you are very loyal to Yun Qianxue. And Xu Youchang, he really likes you, and it's not an ugly thing to do. He Sijia, I mean, for everyone's sake, Xu Youchang may be able to come forward to persuade Li Jiangyao to show mercy to the Turkic subordinates. ”

"Now you know that your men are merciful?" He Sijia sneered: "When you slaughtered the Saint Tang and the Western Xinjiang people before, why didn't you consider the mercy of your subordinates? ”

"Don't come at me." Tanli said aggrievedly: "You go and inquire, in the past six or seven years, in addition to your husband Yun Qianxue's troops, my eleventh legion has the best discipline." He didn't fight to the death of the Shengtang army, nor did he harm the ordinary people. ”

He Sijia didn't want to entangle him with this, so he snorted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you need me to do?" Say it quickly. ”

Tanley said solemnly: "It's very simple, I need you to write two letters, and then give me another token." ”

He Sijia was slightly stunned: "I can understand the letter, one is for Li Jiangyao, and the other is for Xu Youchang." What do you want tokens? ”

"It's also for Xu Youchang," Tanley licked his face and said, "People are infatuated with you, it's good to keep a memory." ”

He Sijia was going to scold Tanley for being shameless again, but after thinking about it, he took back the words that came to his lips. Xu Youchang's simple and honest appearance had already appeared in her heart at this time.

"Alright then, I'll go back and prepare, and I'll send someone to you when I'm ready."

After that, He Sijia flew on his horse and walked away.

Three days later, Tanli led the 11th Army and advanced towards Lanzhou.

Seriously calculated, this is the Golden Wolf Army's fourth westward expedition. In the first three times, they suffered a lot in Zijin Pass, and they don't know what their fate will be this time.

Due to the urgent order of Ashina, Tanli did not delay on the road, and soon, the army arrived at the front line in Lanzhou. As soon as he arrived at the place, the second prince of the Turks threw the matter of changing the guard to his subordinates, and he himself held the deacon, and went straight to the camp of the Zhenjiang army thirty miles away.

Xu Youchang, who was in command here, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard that Tanley had come in person.

He hesitated, but finally decided to meet this "old friend".

"Your Royal Highness, it's been a long time. Now that you and I are facing each other, I don't know ...... Your Highness."

Before Xu Youchang's diplomatic rhetoric was finished, Tanli said directly: "My sister wrote you a letter and asked me to bring it to you." ”

“……”

"There is also a personal token, which is also given to you."

"Show it to me!"

Xu Youchang ordered someone to pour tea for Tanley's seat, and at the same time read He Sijia's letter seriously. After a long time, he folded the letter carefully, put it in his arms, and asked calmly, "Do you really want to negotiate peace?" ”

Tanley smiled: "General Xu may not believe my words." But you should always believe my sister's words, right? ”

Xu Youchang stared at Tanli with burning eyes, and smiled: "I'm sorry, the military affairs are not allowed for Xu to consider the relationship between his children and daughters." Your Highness, please go back, our army will launch a general attack tomorrow, and we are willing to compete with the Golden Wolf Army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tanley was directly petrified on the spot.

This...... That's too much, isn't it?

"General Xu, please wait a while," Tan Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Is there really no room for negotiation?" ”

Xu Youchang shook his head and said calmly: "Until today's situation, you still want to play a delaying strategy with us, then I have no choice but to use blood and fire to make the Khan of your country sober up." ”

Tanley hurriedly said: "Didn't He Sijia make it clear to you in the letter?" I am sincere in my peace negotiations, unlike my father Khan! ”

Xu Youchang still looked calm: "Her Royal Highness the princess has indeed made it clear, and said that she is willing to guarantee the sincerity of your negotiations." However, we Li Daduhu also said that all negotiations are in vain, and the Turks will never be able to change their coffins without shedding tears. ”

"Dadu Hu's words are too absolute, I am an outlier in the Turks." Thanley said unwillingly: "I admit it, Father Khan wants me to hold you back, but I don't think so. General Xu, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you will rush at my sister's affection, and you should let me see the Dadu Protector first. ”

Xu Youchang was puzzled: "I listen to what you mean, do you want to make peace with us alone?" ”

"That's right!" Tanley slapped his thigh: "I thought about it before I left the imperial capital, the Eleventh Legion of the Golden Clan asked for peace talks with the Zhenjiang Army alone!" If the conditions are favorable, I can even pull Yun Qianxue's Blood Guard Iron Cavalry Legion along! ”

Xu Youchang's expression gradually became solemn: "Prince Tanley, there is no joke in front of the two armies. You should know very well that by doing so, you are betraying the Turkic Empire and betraying your father, am I right? ”

Tanli also looked serious: "General Xu, I want to betray my father Khan, but not the Turkic Empire. Instead, I'm doing everything I can to save it. Gema has returned to the Western Continent, and the Persians and Arabs are also ready to move. It is my duty to lead the Turkic warriors back to their homeland and defend their homeland! ”

Xu Youchang pondered seriously for a moment and asked, "In the direction of Lanzhou, which of your troops are there?" ”

Tanley replied word by word: "Except for the Golden Wolf Army I brought, the others will soon go east." Or, as soon as I negotiate with you successfully, they will leave immediately. ”

"Okay, for Hesijia's sake, I'm willing to give you a chance." Xu Youchang said in a deep voice: "You go to Zijin Pass, Dadu Hu is there." Within ten days, I won't move a single hair of your Golden Wolf Army. ”

"Thank you, thank you," Stanley hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "General Xu is really a hero enough." I only hate that I only have one sister, otherwise I would really have to marry you. ”

Thanri, who spoke unreliable, said goodbye to Xu Youchang, and with the pass token he gave him and the liaison officer of the Zhenjiang Army who accompanied him, he once again embarked on the road to the west, and hurried to Zijin Pass.

Li Jiangyao received the news of Xu Youchang's 800-mile expedited Pegasus in advance, and learned Tanley's idea first, and couldn't help but be equally surprised:

This second Turkic prince is so ruthless, he can even betray his father?!

The two finally met at Zijin Pass, and Tanli did not procrastinate, and directly explained his mind as soon as he came up.

Li Jiangyao said curiously: "Your Highness, we can also be called old friends." When it comes to friendship, it can only be said that it is so-so, and there is no less in the middle of you calculating me, and I calculating you. But fortunately, you and I have never really torn our faces and made a grudge. Honestly, do you really know what you're doing? ”

Tanley nodded: "Your Excellency, of course I know what I'm doing, otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to make this trip." ”

Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "Have you thought about it, if I really agreed to your request and let you and the Golden Wolf Army return to the Turks, Lanzhou would be completely lost." Even Tianshui, Baoji, and Hanzhong have been unprotected. Your father Khan will end up in a crushing defeat because of this, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops will be buried with him. ”

Tanley was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "Dadu Hu, you should ask a different question." If I don't do this, will my father Khan's end be good? Will hundreds of thousands of Eastern Crusade troops be able to return to the Western Continent safely? ”

Li Jiangyao looked at him silently and shook his head slightly.

Tanley smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, we had a hope of winning. Father Khan was eloquent and strategic, taking advantage of the internal contradictions within your Shengtang, he easily occupied the ghost desert in Western Xinjiang, and successfully conquered the imperial capital and forced the Shengtang Emperor to death. Soldiers are invincible everywhere. Don't say anything about the crown prince Li Bing, what millions of soldiers, not to mention Xie Guang, Li Kui, Lao Jianhua and the like, in our eyes, they are not fart! ”

"Until...... With the appearance of you and the Zhenjiang Army, everything is over. ”
