The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 142 First round of talks
Tuyuhun's cavalry was indeed found on the hillside in the distance. This should also be the opponent's vanguard.

"As expected, he is from the Midu tribe."

General Qin Qiong was once ordered to garrison Liangzhou City, so he knew some of the tribes in Tuyuhun very well.

General Qin Qiong didn't understand Li Xiang when he saw it, so he introduced him to him. Tuyuhun is divided into more than 100 tribes, and they usually live in their own areas. Some tribal leaders command in the tribe, and some are in Tuyuhun. As an errand in the royal court.

Take Prime Minister Midu as an example. He only used people from his own tribe. This time, it was his own people who went to Liangzhou City to negotiate. After all, at this time, his own people were the most trustworthy. As the Khan of Tuyuhun, When a task is assigned, the leader of each tribe will take their own people to do the task. If the task is successful, the Khan will reward it. If it fails, the entire tribe will be punished.

"The Midu tribe is not an ordinary small tribe. In addition to a prime minister, there are also several generals from Tuyuhun. Therefore, this tribe is extremely elite. If there is a ranking, it should be the king second only to them. Court Tribe.”

General Qin Qiong still has a very high opinion of the Midu tribe. The first tribe in Tuyuhun is naturally their Wangting tribe. In addition to their Wangting tribe, the Midu tribe can already be ranked first. The weapons and equipment of his men They are also relatively comprehensive, and their combat effectiveness is also very powerful.

The tribes that Li Xiang attacked last night only had about a thousand people. To put it bluntly, they were small tribes in the border areas and did not have much impact on the entire Tuyuhun. However, the Midu tribe was different. The total number of the Midu tribe exceeded Of the 8 people, nearly half are capable of fighting, so they are very important in the entire Tuyuhun grassland.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the armies of both sides stopped at a place ten miles apart. Except for their respective commanders and ten guards, the remaining armies were not allowed to move a step without authorization.

"You still know the rules. The people coming are similar to us, but let your people go behind them and take a look."

General Qin Qiong made a rough estimate and found that the other party also came with 3000 to [-] people, but he just didn't know if there were any hidden troops behind them.

Li Xiang turned around and waved his flag. At the end of their team, thirty cavalry quickly disappeared into the grassland.

Li Zhi was extremely envious when he saw this scene. When would his subordinates have such abilities?

"Your Highness does not need to follow the minister. Your Highness should stay in charge of the central army."

When Li Zhi was about to rush over, General Qin Qiong immediately stopped this guy, which made Li Zhi blush all over. I took the initiative to ask Ying to come out of Liangzhou City, but at the last moment, he didn't let me Participated. This is a real political achievement. You can brag about it for a while when you return to Chang'an City, but you actually...

Li Zhi wanted to say something more, but it was a pity that General Qin Qiong did not give him this chance. When Li Zhi raised his head again, the general and Li Xiang had already passed by on horseback. In addition to these two people, there were twenty other people. Guard.

In the center of the two armies, the Tuyuhun people had set up a tent, but in order to allow people on both sides to see clearly, the curtains on all four sides of the tent were raised. Therefore, in addition to the upper roof to provide shade, the soldiers on both sides Can see what's going on inside the tent.

"General Qin, you are well."

The person who spoke was Prime Minister Midu of Tuyuhun. He was about 50 years old. Because of the abundant sunshine here, his whole body was tanned and he looked very strong. "I have met the Prime Minister."

General Qin Qiong once stationed here. The two of them had participated in similar meetings before, but it was because of some chamber of commerce matters. Now they didn't expect that the two countries were at war.

"The general should know why we meet again today. According to our battle report, the Tang army crossed the border last night and attacked many tribes in our territory. We lost thousands of people. I don't know if the general has done anything about this." Do you know?"

Prime Minister Midu was a capable man. He didn't say anything else when he came up. He just blamed Tang Jun for what happened last night.

"I have never known about this matter, but I, the Tang Dynasty, have always been strict in running the army. If the Prime Minister has evidence, I will immediately interrogate the relevant personnel and make sure to give an explanation to the Prime Minister."

General Qin Qiong has already told the people below that we cannot leave any evidence in the past, so we are not afraid that the other party will have evidence in their hands.

Sure enough, as General Qin Qiong thought, after saying this, Prime Minister Midu's face lost all color.

"General, are you saying that I am falsely accusing you? Apart from your army of the Tang Dynasty, there are no other armies here within a radius of five hundred miles. Will our own people kill our own people?"

Prime Minister Midu said angrily that he had already expected that the Tang army would not admit this, but he did not expect that they would reject it so cleanly.

"It's really hard to talk about this kind of thing. As far as I know, the tribes in Tuyuhun are not very peaceful. Today you beat me and I'll beat you tomorrow. Was there any internal conflict between them last night? If so, Prime Minister It would be better for you to find out as soon as possible after you return, as no one from the Tang Army will be involved."

General Qin Qiong said righteously. Li Xiang looked on and secretly laughed. Earlier, he only knew that the general was a decent person, but he didn't expect that when he lied, he would not be red-faced or breathless. He would bite him to death anyway. There is one, it has nothing to do with me.

"Then we don't have to talk nonsense. You didn't come all the way from Chang'an to see our grassland scenery. We didn't gather so many troops to see the walls of Liangzhou City. We might as well Open the skylight and speak out, how do you want to solve it?"

Prime Minister Midu saw that his plan was of no use, so he might as well tell the truth straight away. It would be useless for everyone to continue to beat around the bush. It would be better to agree on a solution early, which would be beneficial to both parties.

"Prime Minister Midu is quick to speak. In this case, Qin said directly that according to the imperial edict of our Emperor, your prince assassinated our emperor's eldest grandson. The evidence is conclusive. We require your Khan to come to Beijing to apologize to the emperor and open Liangzhou to Tubo's trade routes allow us to build a new city on the southwest side of Liangzhou City..."

General Qin began to put forward his own conditions.
