Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 224 Lu Chengqing Overwhelms the Royal Court

Zhang Shigui shook his head and smiled wryly: "The last time we raided the lair of the Turkic Jieli in the east, we have had enough of it after that one. If the Xuanjia Army even takes away the Western Turkic one, I'm afraid we will be confused in the Ministry of War in the future." not go down slightly.

That's not what I mean, but quite the opposite. We were the vanguard when we set off, but behind us there were dozens of generals leading an army of [-] and they were rushing over. The vanguard won’t fight after a battle, we eat meat, and the people behind can’t even drink soup, that’s not good..."

When Zhai Changsun heard it, he realized it!But I have nothing to do, so I shook my head and smiled wryly: "Forget it, we all followed His Royal Highness Zhao, and the prince made up his mind, even if the group of guys in the back couldn't drink the soup, no one would dare to stab Prince Zhao !"

A few days later, the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty ushered in the royal court of the Western Turks, and they would arrive ten miles away. This surprised the Western Turkic Khan Mo Heduo. Could it be that the front line had won and the Tang Dynasty came to negotiate a peace?

"It's not good, Da Khan, our army was defeated at the front line, [-] cavalry were defeated by Datang's [-], even the prince and Zuoxian King were captured by Tang's army, and now Datang sent a special envoy to negotiate!" Blood rushed into the golden tent in a hurry.

Mo Hedu was in the right mood, just now he was fantasizing that the other party came to ask for peace, and in a blink of an eye you told me that we were defeated?

"Damn it! Come on, push me out and chop it up. A 3000-strong army can't even defeat [-] people. What's the use of keeping you?"

Well, this defeated general also has no eyesight. If you say that you are defeated, you will be defeated. Gather the defeated army, retreat slowly to wait for reinforcements, and send a small soldier to send a defeat report. Why do you have to come back to report the letter yourself?Isn't this rushing back to seek death?
"The front line was defeated, why did the Tang Dynasty send people here? To humiliate us deliberately? Or did they capture King Zuo Xian and Si Yehu and prepare to blackmail us?" Mo Hedu called the group of ministers to discuss with a dark face.

The military master of the Golden Tent stood up and shook his head and said: "The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and etiquette has always been put first. Victory and defeat on the battlefield is a common thing. If it is humiliation, it probably won't be done. It can be done before the war, and humiliation after the war. For no reason, I have lost the dignity of a great country. The ministers thought that they might have come to negotiate terms, or as the Great Khan said, they threatened us with Zuo Xianwang and the prince."

"Khan, do you still remember the woman caught under the tent?" someone reminded.

woman?

Mo Hedu pondered: "You mean that woman named Qin Shishi? Could it be that Datang would really take the initiative to start a war for a mere woman? Didn't this woman say that she is not a princess? She is just an unmarried concubine of a prince... ..."

At this time, the military adviser under the tent continued: "Your servant received the news from our secret post that some major events have indeed happened in the Tang Dynasty because of this woman! It is said that the Qin King, Zhao Wang and others in the Tang Dynasty raised troops to save a woman. Later, because of this incident, the entire Buddhist sect was affected, and the Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty was almost uprooted, and now all the disciples who believe in Buddhism in the world are fleeing from the Tang Dynasty."

"Is it true that this is the woman? How did she get involved with the Buddhist temple? Didn't she pay tribute to Gaochang? Come on, bring that woman for interrogation." Mo He panicked. He was next to the Western Regions and knew Buddhist disciples. The power of the crowd is huge, and it is not easy to uproot it. But for a woman, if the two princes of the Tang Dynasty can do such a big deal, then this woman is definitely extraordinary.

Half an hour later, when the matter was clarified, Mo He Duo slapped his head in regret, cursing to himself: "Si Yehu, that bastard, why didn't he die in Chang'an? He didn't interrogate a woman even if he was arrested. If it is clear that the Shaolin Temple secretly resold it to Gao Chang, then we will directly destroy the corpse, hide the woman, and wipe out the Gaochang caravan, how can there be such disasters later?"

When the military division and others heard this, three black lines drooped from their foreheads. When is it? Are you still thinking about Jinwu Zangjiao?If the mouth is silenced, then the woman should be silenced as well. Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains?What is it called a beauty and disaster, it is true.

"Khan, the Tang envoy is here, and the guard of honor is not small, let me come in?" The guard came to report.

Mo Hedu collected his thoughts, and said with a dark face: "Please! Listen to their tone before speaking."

Holding a scepter, Lu Chengqing strode in with a deputy envoy. After everyone saw the ceremony, Lu Chengqing said straight to the point, "Western Turks robbed and detained Princess Zhao of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was furious and sent troops. His Royal Highness King Zhao personally brought an army to come to dignify people. In the frontier battle, our [-] vanguard army defeated your [-] elite cavalry, killed [-], and captured [-] alive, including King Zuoxian and Prince Siyehu of your army. .

His Royal Highness King Zhao was concerned about the livelihood of the people of the two countries, and he did not want to do any more killings, so he sent a special envoy to negotiate and end the war.There are two conditions for our army. First, the Western Turks will immediately return our Princess Zhao of the Tang Dynasty unscathed. Second, this war started because of your country, so all expenses of our army will be borne by your country, and the Western Turks will pay our Tang Dynasty. With [-] fine war horses, we will return the prisoners of war, and the two sides will shake hands and make peace..."

boom!Mo He was so angry that he flew into a rage on the spot, "Why is this unreasonable? The Tang Dynasty deceived people too much, I would rather fight to the death..."

Lu Chengqing was fearless in the face of danger, neither humble nor arrogant, straightened his waist and said in a loud voice: "If your country does not want to negotiate peace talks and stop fighting, it's okay, my Royal Highness Zhao will immediately lead one hundred thousand troops, and come to the royal court to have a talk with the Great Khan in person."

"You, a small envoy, dare to threaten Ben Khan?" Mo He asked with a dark face.

Lu Chengqing clasped his hands and said, "Don't dare, this envoy is just stating a fact. Our army's [-] forwards can destroy your country's [-] elites. For the sake of your country's strength, please think twice. The army will reach the frontier battlefield in five days, and by now, the army must be ready to go."

you……

The words were full of threats, and Lu Chengqing shouted in his heart. It is not a lie that the Tang Dynasty's coercion is so powerful. It is no wonder that the old man Tang Jian, the minister of Honglu Temple, is so proud of this kind of thing. , I can't help being excited if I put it on anyone, and engaging in diplomacy can also make Datang look good.

The Western Turkic military division stood up to ease the atmosphere and said: "We believe in the sincerity of your envoy. If you are exhausted, please take a break first and allow us to discuss one or two. Of course, no matter whether it is successful or not, your princess must send it It was a complete misunderstanding."

"Oh? Misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding? I don't know until I see the princess. How dare I ask where the princess is? This envoy wants to meet and know the safety of the princess." Lu Chengqing asked about the hostage, and his heart was settled. Wen Chen's meaning is obvious, even if the negotiation of compensation fails, the exchange of prisoners will not be delayed.

"Of course, come here, take the special envoy to see Princess Zhao of the Tang Dynasty!"

After sending Lu Chengqing away, Mo Heduo and the others had a serious discussion in the king's tent. Mo Heduo didn't ask about the peace negotiation. The first sentence he asked was: "The Tang army is so powerful? Can it really destroy our fifty thousand with three thousand?" ?”

Forehead?Really, you should ask the people who came down from the battlefield, but, the only general who escaped back to deliver the letter, you just pushed out and hacked...
