Tanli's voice was a little low: "I don't think Father Khan can accept this reality to this day. The great Eastern Crusade, which was magnificent and remembered for thousands of years, would have been defeated at the hands of a lone army that was exhausted. Your Excellency, we are not careless and completely ignore the importance of Western Xinjiang, on the contrary, Father Khan's decision to let the second largest Turkic tribe guard this place is enough to show that he attaches great importance to the ghost desert of Western Xinjiang. ”

Li Jiangyao agreed: "Gema Khan is indeed not weak, and the Yakut Legion of the Yelun Clan is also one of the strongest in the Turkic army, and its strength is not much worse than that of the Golden Clan. ”

"Yes, 80,000 Yakut cavalry, plus more than 100,000 troops of the Western Frontier Alliance, even if they compete with the regular army of Shengtang, they will not fall behind." Tanley shook his head: "But who would have expected that they would really lose in the end, and lose so quickly and completely. I understand Gema's thoughts, and if I were him, he might have hidden everything from his father Khan. ”

He raised his head and looked at Li Jiangyao: "Your Excellency, when I attacked Zijin Pass for the first time, I already clearly realized that we might fail. Although I'm not good at leading troops to fight, but the strategic level of the problem is quite clear, the Western Xinjiang and the two levels fall into your hands, as if Go has been completely cut off, and the dying struggle becomes meaningless. ”

Li Jiangyao asked: "Listen to Xu Youchang, your decision has been approved by He Sijia?" ”

Tan Li bowed slightly, then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jiangyao, while explaining: "My sister only knows that I want to negotiate peace, but I don't know, I will put aside my father and Khan and negotiate peace with you alone." If she had known what I was going to do, she wouldn't have helped me. ”

Li Jiangyao took the letter, opened the red seal and seal casually, and the beautiful Shengtang Xiaokai jumped on the paper:

"Most of the Xinjiang army in Shengtang Town protects my brother Jiang Yaojunjian:

Metasequoia has been separated for several years, but it is a pity that time flies, and the white horse has passed through the gap. The heroic posture of the brother is still vivid in his eyes, and he often sends his dreams; The prestige of the brother spreads far and wide, and the heroes are intimidating.

My sister lives in the imperial capital, and every time she encounters a beautiful scene in China, she will see things and think about people. I can't help but think of the years in the western Xinjiang, the past of metasequoia, the deep memory of the friendship of friends, and the tricks of fate. There is no mercy in the sky, and when the dispute between the two countries is not over, the soldiers on both sides are still crying blood. Sad, my sister's heart is broken.

I once remembered that when my brother founded the army in Metasequoia, he often grieved the hardships of the people and the preciousness of peace, and vowed to cleanse the world and relieve the people from hanging upside down with his own strength. My sister is always like this, and she also hopes that the hatred will dissolve, the war will stop, and the people will be at peace.

Today, there is a royal brother Tanli, who was ordered by his father Khan to envoy my brother to promote the reconciliation of the two countries and the two armies, and to stop the years of fighting. My brother is a true hero in the world, with heaven and earth in mind and compassion for all sentient beings. The strength of its ambition can chase the wall of thousands of miles. The benevolence of his heart is far better than the sages of a hundred generations. I hope that my brother will take care of the thousands of people in the western Xinjiang of the Holy Tang Dynasty and treat them generously. However, the world is very fortunate, and the people of Li are very fortunate.

Sister Turkic Hesijia respectfully. ”

Li Jiangyao put down the letter and said to Tanley: "Your sister is much stronger than you." ”

Tanley smiled and replied, "That's that." I really didn't realize that this girl Hesijia is so brainy, bold and careful, and extraordinary. Not only is he stronger than me, but he is stronger than many Turkic ministers and famous generals. I guess she should have been in Metasequoia City during the time she was deeply protected by the teachings of the capital, and then she became powerful. ”

Li Jiangyao scolded angrily and funny, and then said, "Your Highness, don't go around in circles with me." Let's talk about it, what conditions? ”

"Are you really willing to let me go?" Tanley's eyes lit up.

"I've let Gema Khan go, let alone you?" Li Jiangyao smiled ill-willedly: "The friendship between the two of us is not deeper than his?" ”

Hearing this, Tanley laughed and said, "I'll just say, my brother is my brother, and He Sijia and I are not wrong." From now on, you will be my big brother. ”

"Sensei nonsense, talk about conditions! What kind of money can you pay for the road? Li Jiangyao asked for a long time.

As soon as these words came out, Tanley once again showed his true colors as a profiteer, and asked tentatively: "Big brother, what do you want?" As long as I have it, brother, there is no ambiguity! ”

Li Jiangyao thought for a while and said lightly: "Everything that your Eleventh Legion looted in Shengtang must be left behind. This includes, but is not limited to, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, iron, cattle and sheep, and assemblies of siege equipment. The only things that could be taken away were the weapons and rations on the road, as well as one man and one war horse. ”

Tanley shook his head painfully: "Big brother, you are really heavy." My 11th Legion has returned to the Western Continent, and it is no different from the beggars. ”

"You can also not agree," Li Jiangyao shrugged: "Or take the gold, silver and jewelry all the way back." ”

Tanley smiled bitterly: "No, no, no, let's do what you want." Money is something outside of the body, I understand that. ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly, and then raised two fingers: "The second condition, the Golden Wolf Army can leave with all its members, but He Sijia must also go with him." ”

Tanley was stunned when he heard this: "Huh? This...... That's kind of ......."

"It's kind of ...... Force somebody's hand? Li Jiangyao asked with a smile.

"yes, big brother." Tanli said with a sad face: "If He Sijia knew that I didn't care about my father Khan and led the Golden Wolf Army back to the Western Continent alone, she would definitely not agree." Don't say go along, if you don't know how to go with you, you will run to Father Khan to expose me on the spot! ”

Li Jiangyao sneered: "Then I don't care." How to convince her, that's your business, without Princess Yingyang by your side, you don't want to pass through my defense zone smoothly. ”

Tan Li's expression suddenly changed, and he asked very seriously, "Dadu Hu, why is this?" ”

"What, why?"

"Why do you have to go back with me?" Tanley said word for word: "Don't tell me, it's because of your deep friendship with Hesijia. Xu Youchang likes my sister, does most of the protectors like my sister too? ”

Li Jiangyao laughed and waved his hand again and again: "That's not it, that's not it." I want He Sijia to return to the Western Continent as soon as possible, both for my good and for your good. ”

"I want to hear about it. Especially how can it be good for me? Tanley was curious.

Li Jiangyao said in a good time: "Your Royal Highness, you returned to your homeland with the Golden Wolf Army, if the Turkic people ask you, why did you come back alone?" What about the Great Khan? How do you reply? ”

Tanley was stunned: "This ...... I haven't figured it out yet, but when it comes to the present, there is always a way to explain the past. ”

Li Jiangyao nodded: "I believe you have this ability." However, if there is Hanhai Pearl and Princess Yingyang by his side, is it better to explain, and it is better to gather the strength of the Golden Clan and let go of the Gema Khan and other tribes? ”

Hearing this, Tanley's eyes couldn't help but light up: "That's right, the eldest brother is reasonable!" How did I not think of it before? Not only my sister, but also my brother-in-law! Yun Qianxue is my good brother, with him, the Yunhe tribe will also support me! ”

"If you can take Yun Qianxue with you, of course it's better." Li Jiangyao smiled and said, "In this way, we can also have one less strong opponent on the battlefield." To be honest, I admire Yun Qianxue very much, and I really don't want to kill him. ”

Tanley was curious: "Big brother, Hesjia is indeed useful to me, but what good can she do to you?" ”

Li Jiangyao stared at Tanley: "I need her to limit your ambitions. ”

Seeing that Tanli's face changed, Li Jiangyao continued to smile and said, "I know very well that according to your Turkic tradition, women cannot inherit the throne. Therefore, Hursjia will not pose a threat to you in the imperial power, and make you treat her as a thorn in the flesh. But like you said, your sister is very wise and will definitely be a great politician in the future. With her, you can make fewer mistakes and do a lot less bad things. A peaceful Turkic empire is very important to me. ”

Tanli suddenly realized, smiled and nodded: "I see, little brother understands!" Actually, big brother, it's still for my good. It is not easy to be a Turkic Great Khan, and it is even harder to be a Good Great Khan. If Hesjia can help me and block checks and balances when I'm confused, that's my blessing. ”

"I'm glad you think so." Li Jiangyao said: "At the same time, I also want to remind you. He Sijia is Yun Qianxue's wife and the goddess in Xu Youchang's heart. If you dare to harm her, I don't know what will happen to the Yunhe tribe, but my good brother will definitely lead a large army into the Turks and settle accounts with you, understand? ”

Tanley nodded repeatedly: "Understood!" Of course I do! Big brother, how could I hurt Hesijia? It's too late for me to protect her. In the battle of the Eastern Crusade, the vitality of the Turks was greatly damaged, and the surrounding countries inevitably had to look at us. At the critical moment, I have to ask He Sijia to come forward to find General Xu's assistance. ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly, and continued: "In addition to the first two items, I also have one last condition, time, the time to allow you to return to the Western Continent. ”

Tanley asked, "Can you have an approximate range?" Big brother, I'm not urging you, it's just that I have a mission, if I keep dragging it out, Father Khan will transfer me and the Eleventh Legion back at any time, and it won't be easy. ”

Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "You can take two steps first." Now go back to the imperial capital and tell your father Khan, that I have fallen for your delaying tactics, and agree to suspend the attack and start peace talks. In this way, you can continue to return to Lanzhou and try to hold back the footsteps of our Zhenjiang army. When Ronya and Helianxiong marched eastward, His Royal Highness the Prince could set off and return to the Western Continent. ”

Hearing this, Tan Li suddenly couldn't hide his frightened look: "You, you actually know about our plan?" ”

Li Jiangyao laughed: "Not only do I know about the meeting in the Taiji Palace, but I also know very well that Princess Hesijia put forward the idea of peace negotiations at the meeting, but it was vetoed on the spot by your father Khan. Otherwise, how could I have let you see me so easily? ”
