Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 549
After the envoys of the two countries were selected, the negotiations went quite smoothly.

The assassination incident became Li Qinzai's bargaining chip. He bet the bargaining chip on the negotiating table, and any opponent who saw it would feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, what is more important is that Li Qinzai is backed by a powerful country. This country can sweep the world and conquer the world, making neighboring countries fearful.

This is Li Qinzai's greatest confidence.

So even if there are only a thousand soldiers around him, even if he is in a desert border city, and he will provoke the two neighboring countries at any time, he has not weakened the momentum of Datang at all. And arrogantly taught them the ways of the world again and again.

My Tang cavalry is invincible in the world, who dares to do anything to me?
If he traveled through a small country like Baekje or Wa, well, it would probably be like winning the consolation prize of "one more time", hanging himself by a rope to try his luck again.

"Tuyuhun is divided between our two countries, from Jishi Mountain to the west, until the Kunlun Mountains. With this line as the boundary, all the land north of Tuyuhun belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest belongs to Tubo. How about it?" Li Qinzai proposed conditions with a smile.

Lun Zhongcong subconsciously shook his head: "The west of the Kunlun Mountains, including the Gemur Desert, has been occupied by Tubo. If we want us to spit it out and give it to Datang, don't even think about it."

Li Qinzai smiled a little coldly: "This is my last condition. If you don't agree, we will meet on the battlefield. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will not be so polite. We will divide the land with you Tubo. The whole territory of Tuyuhun belongs to my Tang Dynasty. You Tibetans, go back to the plateau."

Lun Zhongcong said angrily: "Don't think that your weird weapons are invincible in the world. Weapons are held in human hands after all. Humans can defeat them."

Li Qinzai lazily said: "People can indeed be defeated, but you Tibetans don't have that kind of practice, at least not in the past hundred years. Come on, do you agree? If you don't agree, we will use another method."

Lun Zhongcong hesitated, of course he didn't want to agree, but tonight he has been manipulated, and if he wants to deal with the Tang army with new weapons, Tubo is really not sure.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lun Zhong Cong gritted his teeth and said, "Your envoy, this is a big matter. I dare not make a rash decision. I still need to report to the Prime Minister and ask him to make a decision."

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "An envoy can't be the master. Why did Lu Dongzan send you here? Are you coming to Liangzhou City for dinner?"

"Forget it, the negotiations between the Three Kingdoms Missions have come to a conclusion. Go back and report to Lu Dongzan as soon as possible. Within a month, tens of thousands of kings and masters of the Tang Dynasty will come to Liangzhou. If you want to make peace and fight, please listen to me."

After Lun Zhongcong left the room, Li Qinzai stopped pretending. Anyway, the two envoys had seen through it, so it would be a bit embarrassing to pretend to be. Obviously, there is still room for improvement in his acting skills.

Walking out of the house with Lun Zhongcong, they happened to see Princess Honghua and a few attendants packed their luggage in a hurry and were heading for the gate of the post house.

Princess Honghua's eyes were red. Seeing Li Qinzai walking out, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and glared at him. She walked up to him and said harshly, "Li Qinzai, I and Khan will not let you go. See you in Chang'an!"

Everyone in the yard, including Lun Zhongcong, looked at him strangely.

With such a deep hatred, what did Li Xianbo do to Princess Honghua in the house just now?
Li Qinzai couldn't help sighing when he saw the strange expressions of the people in the yard.

I can't clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River. Can I handle a princess in her 40s?Has my aesthetics become the same as that of Li Zhi?
Shameful.

Walking in front of Princess Honghua, Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Your Highness, you should be careful when you return to Chang'an. You don't want your husband to have trouble, do you?"

As soon as this remark came out, even Li Qinzai was taken aback for a moment.

This line... well, why does it sound familiar?

What's the matter with a bunch of Japanese love movie titles popping up in my mind?

…………

Chang'an City.

Su Dingfang hurried into the Anren Hall of Taiji Palace, and bowed as he entered the gate of the hall.

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Old General, you don't need to be polite, come forward quickly."

Su Dingfang took a few more steps forward, stood still when there were dozens of steps away from Li Zhi, and refused to go any further. Su Dingfang was very careful about the distance between the monarch and his subjects.

Li Zhi smiled helplessly, had no choice but to walk down in person, stood in front of Su Ding, and said: "I have something important to entrust to Su Gong, please don't refuse."

Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The old minister is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "The battle between Tubo and Tuyuhun is sent to Chang'an every day, and Li Jingchu also sends memos every few days. Now the missions of the three countries are gathered in Liangzhou, but the talks are not going well. .”

Su Dingfang's eyes flickered, and he said: "Your Majesty, do you want the old minister to lead the army westward and give Li Jingchu a backing?"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Gong Su is worthy of being a famous general in our court, he can see the key to the chaos in the Northwest with just one word."

Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said: "The old minister is willing to lead the army westward. Please show me how to do it."

Li Zhi seemed to be in a good mood today, and said with a smile, "It's not just going west, but entering Tuyuhun, under the banner of helping Tuyuhun fight against the enemy..."

Su Dingfang continued: "After our army entered Tuyuhun, it will not be so easy for us to leave."

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Li Zhi sighed again, and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Jing Chu. He alone won more than two months to raise food and grass for Datang. These two months are very critical."

"Today, the household department reported that the two grains and grasses in Jiangnan and Huainan have raised more than [-] shi, barely able to support a big battle. I have decreed that the grain and grass raised will go west first, and go to Yuanzhou, Lanzhou and Liangzhou..."

"Tomorrow, Mr. Su will receive the fish talisman and commander's seal, and he will serve as the ambassador of Anji and the general manager of the Qinghai Road march. He will guide [-] troops to march westward, and [-] of the [-] soldiers are equipped with three-eyed blunderbusses and sufficient gunpowder. , after entering the Tuyuhun realm, you can look at it vertically and horizontally, and it is invincible."

Su Dingfang said happily: "The three-eyed blunderbuss made by the baby of the Li family, the old minister has long wanted to lead the army to command a battle in person, and also see what kind of fate this thing can bring to the enemy if it is equipped by thousands of people."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "At the beginning Li Jingchu led [-] soldiers and horses, which could sweep the Japanese country and destroy it. Now Su Gong leads [-] soldiers and horses, and the northwest is settled."

"Youwuwei General Dugu Qingyun, Xin Wenling is the deputy commander of the Qinghai Road march. After Su Gong went west, he joined forces with the soldiers and horses of the six states under Zheng Rentai's jurisdiction. There are more than [-] soldiers and horses in total, all of which are commanded by Su Gong."

Li Zhi's tone suddenly became passionate: "In this western expedition, I want to drive Tubo out of Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun can only be controlled by me, and no one can covet it. The territory of the Tang Dynasty has increased a lot. When offering sacrifices to heaven, there must be meritorious deeds that will shine in the Taimiao and live up to the ancestors."

Su Dingfang's old face turned red immediately, he clasped his fists excitedly, and said through gritted teeth: "The old minister is willing to open up this territory for the Tang Dynasty, and to live up to the grace of the three generations of emperors!"
