Chapter 177: Trap (5)
Is this a peace talk? This is clearly to make the Tang Dynasty unkind and unjust. If Datang agreed to the condition of the Yuanrong clan and really sent troops to attack the Han Dynasty, then Datang would not only plant great cause and effect and be punished by the Heavenly Dao, but I am afraid that from now on, the vassal states of the world will never believe in Datang again. Even if the Tang Dynasty recovered the northern frontier on all fronts and gained many huge benefits, in the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be destroyed by other vassal states, and all the territory will be divided between the vassal states and the Yuanrong clan.
Li Leng's face gradually turned cold, his eyes were full of murderous aura, the Yuanrong clan harbored evil intentions and deliberately put forward such harsh conditions, it was not a peace talk at all, it was to provoke their Datang and provoke the relationship between Datang and Dahan. But he didn't have a seizure on the spot, and still sat there quietly.
The burly man grinned and said, "Your Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, you can't say that. The interests of the country are above all else, and our Yuanrong clan is willing to cede ten northern cities as a reward for the Tang Dynasty's troops. ”
The conditions are very abundant, and the ten cities in the north of the Yuanrong clan are all built on the spar veins, and the annual output of spars is an astronomical amount. The most important thing is that these ten cities in the north are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is of great significance to the strategic buffer of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that if the Tang Dynasty gets these ten cities in the north of the Yuanrong clan, it will not only greatly increase its national strength, but also make the northern territory never war-free.
Without these ten cities, the attack power of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry will be greatly weakened, and the threat to the Tang Dynasty will also be reduced. The most important thing is that in order to take revenge on the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan, the Han will bite the Yuanrong clan to the death. The two tigers competed, and Datang reaped the benefits of the fisherman, no matter how you look at it, Datang has earned it. For a while, Li Chengqian's heart was moved, and the Yuanrong clan really had the sincerity of peace talks.
However, Li Leng sat there motionless, he was the commander of the northern Xinjiang and the representative of the Tang peace talks under the order of the Son of Heaven. If Li Leng does not make any statement, then the peace talks between the Tang Dynasty and the Yuanrong clan can only be an empty paper and will not have much effect. Li Chengqian was afraid that the Yuanrong clan would regret it, so he kept giving Li Leng a look, asking Li Leng to immediately agree to the conditions of the Yuanrong clan, and the two sides signed a contract. As long as the ten cities in the north are obtained, whether Datang can send troops or not, how to send troops, and how many troops to attack Dahan, the initiative is in the hands of Datang.
Li Chengqian lowered his voice and said, "Tenth brother, don't think so much about it first, and then get control of these ten cities in the north of the Yuanrong clan." With these ten cities, our Datang will have a steady stream of spars, which will allow our national strength to rise by at least two levels, and we will have the strength to confront the Great Qin Empire. At the same time, our strategic depth has also been strengthened, and these ten cities in the north are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can effectively block the attack of the Yuanrong iron cavalry. It seems that the Yuanrong clan is very sincere in making peace with us this time, and they must not be allowed to have a chance to regret it. ”
Li Leng smiled and was unmoved.
The burly man saw that Li Leng was still sitting there so quietly, and he didn't say anything about the conditions they offered, which made everyone not know what Li Leng was thinking. However, they all felt that the conditions were not rich enough to arouse Li Leng's interest.
The burly man coughed a few times, deliberately not turning his head to spit, but his eyes glanced at the personal guard behind him without a trace, and when he saw that the guard nodded slightly, he had an idea in his heart, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, this is already the most lucrative condition offered by our Yuanrong clan." This condition is very beneficial to you Datang, not only can you get a large number of spars, but also have a buffer of strategic depth, if I were you, I would agree immediately. Moreover, I am sure that your Son of Heaven will be happy to see it. ”
"Really?" Li Leng finally spoke, disapproving, and even, the smile on his lips became even more disdainful, and said lightly, "There is one thing that I feel very strange, why do you want our Datang to send troops to attack the Dahan?
The burly man said: "We have fully considered such generous conditions. The alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty is a great threat to our Yuanrong clan, and in these wars, our Yuanrong clan has suffered a great loss in the hands of your Datang. Therefore, we want to negotiate peace with Datang and deal with Dahan together. After all, the Han is the real mortal enemy of the Yuanrong clan, and we and the Tang Dynasty are just some misunderstandings. Misunderstanding, the two sides sit down and talk, and it will be quickly cleared up. ”
"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Li sneered even brighter, "There are only ten cities, just want the Tang Dynasty to do something ungrateful, and your Yuanrong clan's abacus is also very good!"
"If the conditions are not good enough, we can still negotiate. The burly man said stiffly.
"Okay, then let your real big order talk to me!" Li Leng pointed to the personal guard behind the burly man, and said coldly, "Do you still want to continue pretending?"
"Haha, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes of the Tang Dynasty is really good. The personal guard lifted his skull, revealing a young face.
He was thin, fair-skinned, his eyes were bright, and there was an unyielding stubbornness between his eyebrows.
Who would have thought that the big devil of the Yuanrong clan, who was famous in the Western Regions and made the major vassal states frightened, would be such a thin young man.
The burly man hurriedly stood up, his face was panicked, he made a big salute, and said, "Please punish the big order." It is the subordinates who are not careful, who miss a big order and a big event, and the subordinates will die. ”
"Get up! Da Shan Yu sat down, looked at Li Leng and said indifferently, "You are not the opponent of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes of the Tang Dynasty, from the moment you came in, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes has seen through your identity." ”
The burly man's face flushed, and he thought that he was hiding it very well, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Li Leng.
"This condition is already the best condition that our Yuanrong clan has offered. Da Shan Yu said unhurriedly, "It is very beneficial to Datang." Your Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, don't you think about it?"
Li Leng shook his head and said: "Don't think about it, Datang has the principles of Datang, so I will definitely not consider it." ”
"Don't say things so absolutely, there are no eternal friends and enemies in the world, only eternal interests, why be too stubborn. Da Shan Yu's pale face showed a smile, and said lightly, "We can take another step back and hand over the five cities in the south, these fifteen cities are the most prosperous and important cities of our Yuanrong clan, and I will give them to you Datang together." In addition, I am willing to compensate 30 million medium-grade spars, such conditions are enough!"
