The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Five days later, it will be 150 miles outside Liangzhou City.

As the plenipotentiary negotiator of Tuyuhun, Prime Minister Midu could kill a fly with the wrinkles on his brow.

He had already sent a letter to the two generals in Liangzhou City, expressing Tuyuhun's willingness to end the war. Of course, he did not make it clear, but the other party never responded. Now he has received a letter from Datang. According to the secret reports made by Tuyuhun in the territory, the entire Tang Dynasty was mobilizing for this war. Could it be that they really did not want to negotiate peace?

"Prime Minister, don't worry too much. I think that the Tang Dynasty is just making some gestures. Their current financial situation is not good either. Last year and the year before last, they conquered Goryeo and almost spent all the money in the Tang Dynasty's treasury. Continue If the fight continues, it will be quite detrimental to them.”

One of his counselors saw that Prime Minister Midu was depressed all day long and quickly expressed his analysis.

Before receiving these secret reports, Prime Minister Midu had the same idea as them. The Tang Dynasty was only powerful in appearance, but in the process of conquering Goryeo, they had already spent most of their money. Don't look at it. Tuyuhun was Datang's opponent, and he could support it now. Datang needed at least five years to recuperate.

But the letters sent back in my hand are not fake. They come from several places in the Tang Dynasty. Thousands of miles of land have been mobilized. If it is just a bluff, then it is too false. What's more, mobilizing so many prefectures and counties is not something that can be done in just one sentence.

Furthermore, the two generals in Liangzhou City ignored his belief, and Prime Minister Midu became even more suspicious. Could it be that Li Shimin had ordered the war to be carried out to the end? Do we, Tuyuhun, have to be destroyed?

If this were the case, it would certainly cause indelible trauma to the society of the Tang Dynasty, but after all, the Tang Dynasty was a big country that spanned the north and the south. Their land area and people could slowly recover, as long as they could endure it. This moment of pain, then Tuyuhun will disappear. This is the difference between a big country and a small country. No matter how powerful a small country is, it cannot defeat a big country in the face of real strength.

"Bring me pen and ink."

Prime Minister Midu hesitated again and again, feeling that he had to write a letter. Although if he wrote another letter, Tuyuhun's status would drop a lot. After all, no one wanted to take the initiative at this time, but if Datang was determined, Then this letter must be written. Before the Tang army supports the southwest, I must sign this peace agreement.

"Please, Prime Minister, think again."

Since these people present can stand in this tent, it means that their minds are extraordinary, and of course they can understand what Prime Minister Midu means.

"Practice ink..."

The Prime Minister did not listen to the persuasion of these people around him, because he naturally had a strong feeling in his heart. Under the current circumstances, if he misses such an opportunity, he will probably regret it extremely in the future. The current Prime Minister is more nostalgic for the past. If the previous meeting had been successful, perhaps there would not have been such a big loss on the grassland.

"I, the Prime Minister, have been entrusted by the Khan to handle this matter with full authority. I will bear all the consequences myself."

Prime Minister Midu knows what these people below are thinking. They are all afraid of taking responsibility. After all, in the signing of this agreement, if we extend our heads, it will be a knife, and if we shrink our heads, it will be a knife. If you act too eagerly, Datang’s knife When it was cut off, it was deeper. At that time, everyone’s faces looked ugly, and they were also afraid that Dahan would be held responsible.

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he no longer cared about the reactions of these people, and wrote his second letter with all his heart. This letter was more proactive than the first letter, and even seemed a bit humiliating and asking for peace. Yes, because the Prime Minister knows very well that if you negotiate before the war begins, you may be able to save Tuyuhun. When the Tang army comes, even if you want to take this knife, you may have no chance. Think about the Turks back then. You should know what the result is.

On the surface, Li Shimin was of the same family as all the ethnic groups outside the customs, but the defense of the Tang Dynasty border had never weakened, and it was still increasing. From this, it can be seen that Li Shimin did not relax towards them, and he was just trying to keep up with them. Coupled with the fact that the new emperor's grandson adopts tough policies towards various countries, it is really possible for the Tang Dynasty to destroy Tuyuhun.

Under such circumstances, there was no room for Prime Minister Midu to hesitate. If he hesitated for one more day, the Tang Dynasty might have gathered tens of thousands of troops, and Tuyuhun would be in danger by then.

After the letter was written, Prime Minister Midu handed it over to a reliable subordinate and asked him to send it to Liangzhou City as quickly as possible. He hoped that the letter would not arrive too late and would allow the two generals to have room to reply. The distance between Zhouzhou and Chang'an is not close, and it only takes a few days to go back and forth.

A few hours later, General Qin Qiong got the letter. The whole room laughed. Everything was in Li Xiang's plan. They all put their hearts in their stomachs. They were originally afraid of Prime Minister Midu. If we see through Li Xiang's plan, we will have to actually send troops out. This is indeed a bit difficult for the Tang Dynasty now.

Although the generals outside have looted a lot of things, compared with the huge military expenditures, this can only offset part of it. If a large army is to go out, Tuyuhun must be destroyed, which will take at least three months. Above the above, the imperial court's finances simply cannot support it, and everyone knows this.

What's more, except for Li Xiang's army, which does not need logistical support, all other armies need to transport supplies from Liangzhou City. By then, one soldier fighting will need two logisticians, and the people in the border areas will also suffer military disasters.

They have already lost their homes, and if they are forcibly recruited into the army now, I am afraid it will trigger a civil uprising. Therefore, weighing all aspects of the situation, in the end, we can only put on a show for the Tuyuhun people, let them humiliate themselves and sue for peace, and then We pursue the best interests.

"Counting the days, I should reply to him in ten days."

Qin Huaiyu counted on his fingers. This letter arrived in Chang'an, and then stayed in Chang'an for two days, and then came back to us. He replied to him ten days later. This speed is considered fast. It is easy to be too early or too late. Things have changed, Prime Minister Midu is also a cunning person...
