Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 575 tit for tat
At this time and at that time, the most important thing in being a person and doing things is to assess the situation.

When he first entered the Tubo camp, Li Qinzai was like a sheep running into a tiger's mouth, so he tried not to offend Lu Dongzan. At the banquet, the soldiers under his command were asked to fight each other, and Li Qinzai agreed.

Because Lu Dongzan's fist was relatively big at that time.

But now, Li Qin has Nacho's capital.

In the middle of the night, someone urgently invited Li Qinzai to the commander's tent to discuss the matter. It must be that something major happened in Tuyuhun territory, and this matter must have suffered a loss for Tubo. .

Li Qinzai lay back in the tent, and before falling asleep, a thought flashed through his mind.

Su Dingfang's [-] army is still on the way, and Zheng Rentai's frontier army can't mobilize manpower, so the only variable is Sun Congdong. It must be that Sun Congdong's [-] imperial troops fought a beautiful battle in Tuyuhun.

Very good, inexplicably enough confidence.

From now on, no one is allowed to talk to me loudly, let alone disturb my sleep.

With this thought in mind, Li Qinzai fell asleep in a daze.

Sleeping until morning, Li Qinzai stretched out and walked out of the tent, and found a group of people standing densely in the tent, including his own family and Tubo's personal guards.

Obviously, after Li Qinzai rejected Lu Dongzan's invitation last night, Lu Dongzan sent a few more people to invite him, but they were stopped outside by the trilogy, and a group of people respectfully waited for Li Qinzai to wake up.

After washing and dressing, Li Qinzai took a leisurely meal of hot mutton noodles, which Li Qinzai brought over from Chang'an, rich and rich playboys can never wrong their quality of life.

"Let's go and meet Lu Dongzan." Li Qinzai wiped his mouth and said.

The Tubo guards breathed a sigh of relief, and the Li family guarded Li Qinzai and walked towards the handsome tent.

Li Qinzai deliberately slowed down his pace, and said softly: "Si, send someone out of the camp to inquire about Sun Congdong's troops, and ask them what they did. If they have fought against Tubo and the casualties are not too serious, let them continue." Find the enemy and fight, divide and attack, and give me a little more bargaining chip."

"In addition, tell General Zheng Rentai that the [-] soldiers stationed at the border can enter Tuyuhun, approach the south of Jishi Mountain, wipe out a few Tubo troops, and make some noise."

Liu Asi nodded in agreement, and then said awkwardly: "What if the Tubo camp doesn't let our people out?"

"Whoever dares to stop me from going out of the camp will be provoking me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The negotiation between me and Lu Dongzan will be terminated immediately." Li Qinzai said coldly.

Liu Asi turned around and found a dexterous Buqu, whispered a few words in his ear, Buqu nodded vigorously, clasped his fists tightly in one hand, turned his horse's head and ran out of the rear gate of the army.

When Li Qinzai came to the tent, the treatment was different this time. There was a general waiting for him outside the tent. When he entered, the general even lifted the curtain politely for him.

As soon as he entered the commander's account, Lu Dongzan greeted him enthusiastically, with a touch of MMP in his boldness.

"Your Excellency Tang Envoy, did you sleep well last night?" Lu Dong greeted with a smile.

Li Qinzai's face turned dark at that moment, which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, so there was no other topic for pleasantries?

"Your personal guard disturbed my sleep, and I punished you a little bit. It's no surprise that you offended me." Li Qinzai laughed.

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said: "Last night, it was the old man Meng Lang who disturbed County Uncle Li's slumber. I'm very sorry."

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes, the old man was so polite today, he had to cut at least one of his kidneys when negotiating.

Everyone didn't have any feelings to talk about, and after a few pleasantries without embarrassment, Lu Dongzan quickly got to the point.

"Uncle Li County, the old man thought about it last night. He felt that it was not right for Tubo to completely swallow Tuyuhun. Tubo and Datang have been neighbors for decades. For the sake of a century-old friendship between the two countries, Tubo is willing to give up all the east of Jishi Mountain to Da Tang. How about it, Don?"

The map of Tuyuhun immediately appeared in Li Qinzai's mind, and then he calculated it silently, and then took a deep breath.

"Major Minister, are you too dark? The east of Jishi Mountain is only two hundred miles away from the border of Datang. So, after Tubo swallowed Tuyuhun, it only gave Datang this two hundred miles?"

Lu Dongzan's old face darkened: "Uncle Li, Tuyuhun was conquered by Tubo alone, and it took the lives and blood of countless warriors to conquer the land. Datang did nothing, and more than two hundred miles were lost. Why not satisfied?"

Li Qinzai sneered and said, "It's not that the Tang Dynasty didn't do anything, but is planning to do something. Don't worry, my Master Tang will arrive in half a month. At that time, we will get as much land as the Tang wants."

Lu Dongzan showed a bit of anger on his old face: "Tuyuhun has been defeated by Tubo, if Tang Dynasty comes to take it, is he planning to start a war with Tubo?"

Li Qinzai said awe-inspiringly: "To put it politely, you and our two countries negotiated a peaceful and friendly border. To put it bluntly... yes, if Tubo doesn't let us out, our Tang Dynasty will go to war with us."

Lu Dong praised him very much, did this scorpion disregard any diplomatic etiquette?To speak so bluntly, is this forcing the old man to turn his face?
"Uncle Li, you can tell yourself how much you need in Tang Dynasty." Lu Dongzan said indifferently.

Li Qinzai said: "Tuyuhun guards the commercial route from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions and the Persian countries. It is absolutely impossible for this road to fall into the hands of others. Therefore, what I want is for Tubo to retreat from the entire Tuyuhun army. Don."

Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "I, Tubo, gave the lives and blood of countless warriors, and invested all the resources of the country in this battle, and now you ask me to withdraw the entire Tubo army? Li Qinzai, you have to be ashamed!"

"Yes, I am shameless, what I want is land!"

Lu Dongzan's nostrils were dilated, trying to absorb the oxygen in the air.

After a long time, Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said slowly: "Uncle Li, since it is a negotiation between the two countries, please show your sincerity. You are asking so much, I really can't continue the negotiation with you."

Li Qinzai also said slowly: "To be honest, Datang didn't intend to talk to you at all. Prime Minister must be very clear that the [-] troops led by General Su Dingfang are about to reach the border. At that time, it is inevitable that we and you will go to war. What Tang wants is the whole territory of Tuyuhun."

Lu Dongzan was angry again: "Then what are you talking to me about in my Tubo Camp?"

"What I want to talk about is that I hope that Tubo Sensei will take the initiative to withdraw the army, so as not to cause irreparable casualties to you. Although the prime minister has the same prestige in Tubo, if you suffer a big loss in the battle of Tuyuhun, you will return to Tubo. I'm afraid the position is not secure, is it?"

Lu Dongzan sneered and said: "If the old man returns without success, then the position is really not safe."

"Will the whole army be wiped out? Are you afraid? You have been the regency of Tubo for many years, and now your Zanpu has grown up. He has long expected you to return to the king. If you suffer such a big defeat in Tuyuhun, your Zanpu and the landowners in the country will be defeated." I'm afraid that the rich and powerful will swarm up and gnaw you until there is no skin left?"
