Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 342 Xieli Prepares for Peace Talks
Dugu Lanruo's words surprised Liu Mu.

In fact, Liu Mu planned that Li Yuan would be the emperor for at least another five or even eight years.

"I can't say it, but it does feel like this."

Liu Mu believed in Dugu Lanruo's feelings, and after thinking about it again, she found that it seemed reasonable.Li Yuan became more and more dissatisfied with the old courtiers. Many of these old courtiers were not enterprising and just wanted to keep their jobs.

Moreover, Li Yuan felt more and more tired after giving instructions. Li Yuan especially liked lively events like grand ceremonies.

"Go to sleep." Liu Mu stopped the topic, not daring to continue the conversation.

At this time, on the other side of the mansion, in the house of Liu Ruyu and Li Daozong.

Liu Ruyu told Li Daozong what Liu Mu wanted her to say, but Li Daozong sat silently on the chair beside the bed all night.

Because Liu Ruyu was pregnant, she was sleepy and fell asleep by herself. When she woke up, she found that Li Daozong was still sitting there, with bloodshot eyes, staring straight ahead.

"Husband?"

"Ma'am, your younger brother is a great man. He really can't tell me by himself. He has been avoiding meeting me alone with these people, and there must be many people present when we meet. He called Jiang Xiaobang to help Chang An , it is definitely not him who helped, this is preparing for King Qin's ascension to the throne."

Li Daozong felt that his headache was about to burst, and he rubbed his forehead vigorously: "His idea is good, but how to do it needs to be thought through carefully. It can't be too obvious. Sin, some people in Chang'an will say that this is the heart of self-respect in the army. If it is not obvious, the effect will not be very interesting."

"Very troublesome?"

"It's very troublesome. After thinking about it for my husband, I decided to send some sheep to Zhongshou Jiangcheng. In name, it will be used by the army. In fact, it is better to ask His Highness King Qin." Li Daozong thought about it, and finally had an idea.

Why doesn't Liumu want to stay in Yunzhou for a longer period of time? He just wants to avoid it.

It is not Li Daozong that Liu Mu wants to avoid, but he does not want Chang'an to say that he is too close to the small country of Fanbang, especially Yunzhou, the most popular place in the north of the town, where there are only businessmen from small states in the north There are thousands of people, and there are hundreds of elders and leaders at all levels.

To put it simply, don't let Prince Li Jiancheng find any topics about the northern frontier.

After daybreak, Li Daozong stayed in the mansion, went straight to the barracks, and said that he was going to send supplies to King Qin, sending some sheep to improve the soldiers' food.

Seeing this posture, Liu Mu immediately said that he was going to Laizhou in the name of the third wife of the Liu family, Rumei.

In just two days, the two people who can be the masters of the house in Yunzhou all want to run away.After discussing with the tribal leaders, they decided to follow Li Daozong to see the King of Qin, especially Zhili Sili, who believed that he would be more secure after the King of Qin was surrendered.

In three days, most of the bustling Yunzhou City was empty.

Liu Mu's family took a boat, and Yunzhou was the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, and when the Sanggan River reached Youzhou, it became the Yongding River for later generations.Then go straight along the Yongding River, and you will arrive at a place called Sanhui Haikou.

This is the mouth of the Sancha River in Tianjin for later generations.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was no city here. After more than 100 years, there will be a salt field in Lutai, and it will be considered popular here.At this point, nothing.

Liumu's boat was a high-ranking official's boat, but he didn't dare to go into the sea.

But it can go all the way to Laizhou along the coastline.This is much faster than riding a horse in a carriage, and it has been going downstream, much faster than Li Daozong walking on the road with his legs.

But Li Daozong still arrived first, although he had to drive the sheep and pull the luggage, but the distance was short after all.

Zhong was surrendered to the city.

Jieli was waiting bitterly, waiting for the tribes he had gathered on the grassland to send troops.

"Get out, get out." While drinking, Jie Li became angry and drove many women out of the house.

Zhao Deyan heard the scolding and entered the room: "Khan, don't get angry, the Tang people can't take down this surrendered city."

Jieli gave Zhao Deyan a blank look, picked up the tin jug containing the wine and took two sips.

Zhao Deyan continued: "Big Khan, if it weren't for the fact that the Liang divisions were not strict and their subordinates opened the city and surrendered, the twelve prefectures would not have been lost. Although the Tang army is currently arrayed outside, they came in a hurry to build siege equipment It will take time, and there is not enough food, grass, and equipment to support a big battle."

"Last year!" Jieli only said two words.

Zhao Deyan understands that Jieli was defeated in the battle with Datang last year, and the winter in the grassland was very difficult because he did not go south to rob supplies.

The Uighurs did not come, probably because Jieli was defeated, so the deterrent effect on the grassland was reduced.

Not only the Huihe people, several tribes made excuses for not sending people over.

"Khan, how about negotiating with the Tang people and asking them to give some benefits and negotiate?" Zhao Deyan made a suggestion.

Zhao Deyan's suggestion is not delusional.Turks have been moving southwards since many years ago. In the former Sui Dynasty, the Turks suffered a terrible defeat and were divided into two Turks, the East and the West.

But that's it, even if the Turks go south, even if they lose, they still have to gain a lot of benefits in the process of negotiation.

It is the same with Datang.

In the early years of Wude, as long as he went south, no matter the result of the negotiation, he could bring a lot of supplies back to the grassland.

"Then let's talk." Jieli's mind was no longer here, but wanted to go back to the grassland to teach those disobedient tribes.

Zhao Deyan followed his advice and sent someone to the Tang army camp to deliver the letter.

At this time, a troop approached, and both sides received news that it was a troop that held power and thought power.

Li Shimin, who was in the camp of the Tang army, said to Gao Jian: "I like sending someone to give Xieli the terms of the negotiation between Xiaomu and Xieli last year, or arrange someone to read the terms aloud under the city of Zhongshoujiang."

Li Shimin was fed up with Xieli's anger.

Datang's surrender to Xieli was as painful as a stab in Li Shimin's heart.

Not fighting doesn't mean making Xieli happy.

Gao Jian was stunned at the time: "His Royal Highness, what was the document for joint talks with Prince Consort Liu last year?"

"Isn't it good?" Li Shimin asked back.

"It's not very good, the words are a bit too intense, and this document aroused Xieli's anger last year, which provoked the full-scale war of the Bingzhou War." Gao Jian persuaded.

Li Shimin smiled coldly: "Would he dare to go out to fight in the city?"

"Then, I will send someone to do it." Gao Jian left, he had considerable trust in Li Shimin's art of war.

Li Shimin asked Gao Jian to send someone to read the documents for the peace talks, but he was not idle on his side. He sent someone to find Li Jing and asked Li Jing to replace him as the on-the-spot commander. If Jieli started a war, let Li Jing fight to the death outside the city, but don't attack by force. Zhongshou surrendered the city.

Li Jing received the order, and when he saw the excited generals other than Qin Qiong, he gently put the order on the table: "Generals, do you really think there will be a war?"
