Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Then he said, "What do you want?"

Seeing the change in the attitude of Li Chengqian and the surrounding people, these Tubo envoys also breathed a sigh of relief.

Respectfully Shili said: "Your Highness, please don't worry too much."

"When we came this time, Zanpu specifically instructed us."

"We must show our Tubo's respect to Your Highness."

"So this time, we don't want gold, silver and jewelry, women with fine wine, or armor and weapons."

"What we want is still the various craftsmen of Datang."

"It's just that the number of people is twice what was negotiated before."

Listening to what they said, Li Chengqian just stood there and stared at them.

After a long time, he spit out a few words forcefully.

"Aren't you afraid that after this king ascends the throne, you Tubo will be the first to be destroyed?"

At this time, the Tubo envoy was slightly taken aback.

Then he bowed and replied: "A question about His Royal Highness."

"We Tubo may or may not be afraid."

"But we are just a few ants sent by Zanpu to spread the word."

"I don't even know what Zanpu is thinking."

"I'm afraid I can't answer you."

Chapter 906 Tranquility

After these Tubo envoys left.

Li Chengqian was angry and punched the table in frustration.

Then he said with vicious resentment: "This damn Tubo!"

"Originally, we wanted to use their hands to get rid of Li Qiu."

"But who knows, it's such a trouble now!"

"Not only did they not get rid of Li Qiu, but they ran to me and threatened me with this matter."

"This group of bastards, since they had this first time, they are destined to have a second time."

"This time, they want artisans."

"Next time, they may come to ask for money."

"Could it be that this king will follow him every time?!"

Seeing Li Chengqian's angry, flustered, and anxious expression at the moment.

The King of Han Li Yuanchang on the side hastily comforted him and said, "Your Highness, you may have thought too much about this matter."

"What benefit does Tubo do to them?"

"In the future, you will one day be on the throne."

"They are mere Tibetans, what are they worth in front of my Tang cavalry?"

"Could it be that they will not be afraid in their hearts, and in the future, after your Highness inherits the great rule, you will destroy them?"

"Moreover, from the compensation they came to ask for this time, we can see their attitude to some extent."

"Taking advantage of such an opportunity, they can force us to ask for some gold, silver and jewelry."

"Weapons, armor, such important things."

"But they are nothing more than leaving some craftsmen."

"You don't even need to order this kind of thing, Your Highness, the ministers can completely decide and do it."

"So, please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Right now, our most important thing is to find a way to transfer Li Qiu back to Chang'an as soon as possible."

"He's out, we can't do anything about him."

"But when he returns to Chang'an, won't he be the same as Wang Gui, and he has to listen to you?"

"Then, let's take this opportunity and his serious crime of being a military commander in private, and kill him in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Han Wang Li Yuanchang made a gesture of wiping his neck fiercely.

Listening to Li Yuanchang's words, Li Chengqian also nodded, with a decision in his mind.

……

On the other side, the border between Taozhou and Tubo in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Qiu and others chose a very good location.

Set up camp.

All that was left was to wait for the arrival of the Tubo army who was extremely angry because of the huge capital crown.

But it was beyond Li Qiu's expectations.

According to the information returned by the spies in Tubo.

Tubo, who had been agitated, suddenly became quiet.

Even among the people who cursed Tang, there were far fewer clamoring for a war.

Then, there was a few days of silence.

Just like the surface of the lake in the sun, there is not even a little wind.

As a result, Li Qiuke felt a little worried and bored.

Originally in his plan, Tubo should not cause hatred on his own.

Definitely want to come and make gestures.

As long as they will come, it will be easy.

I can also command the army on my own side, and play Tai Chi with them.

At least you have to give the court an excuse to stop those people from talking.

But after a long time, there was no movement from Tubo.

My nearly [-] troops squatted here to bask in the sun all day long.

This is not a problem at all, and it cannot be justified anyway.

And different from him.

Three people like Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin are quite enjoying their current life.

The most important task of their trip this time is to escort Li Qiu.

Guarantee his safety.

Now, fifty thousand troops are in hand.

After Tubo suffered a disastrous defeat just now, it is estimated that its vitality has also been seriously injured.

It was painful to be beaten.

Next, there will definitely not be any major battles.

So the mission of the three of them is considered to have been completed.

They don't have to worry about these little things in the remaining army.

They just need to spend time here with Li Qiu.

It's enough for His Majesty to return to Chang'an.

Therefore, in the past few days, the three of them have completely let themselves go.

Good wine and good food every day, drinking tea, chatting, playing chess.

It is also a joy.

Among the Youzhou Army, the fine traditions established by Li Qiu were also maintained.

That is for them who are not short of money, the food must be excellent.

Roasted whole lamb, kebabs, and various hard dishes are must-haves.

Although the wine is not shooting Sirius, it is quite good.

What's more, the governors of Taozhou and Hezhou, and the officials nearby.

After learning that these great gods arrived at the same time, I was even more panicked.

Food and wine, all kinds of rare playthings, precious calligraphy and paintings were all sent over as gifts.

Especially the governor of Taozhou, who is also considered to be a relative of the emperor and Li Shimin's cousin.

With the help of his ancestors, he was the governor of the earth emperor in this unimportant remote place.

Although he is mediocre and extravagant, he is still reliable in his work.

Although a bit lazy.

But it can be regarded as quite satisfactory, never making big mistakes.

In terms of governing the state capital, it is necessary to talk about long-sleeved and good at dancing, and to treat people and things.

But it is his specialty.

And after learning that Li Qiu, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others led the army to station here.

He also came to visit several times, bringing all kinds of water, wine, delicious food, and rare gifts.

For him, a prime minister, two great generals who are right-hand men of His Majesty, and a brother-in-law of His Majesty who has made great achievements.

These distinguished guests are simply extremely expensive.

I'm afraid it's only slightly worse than the emperor's tour.

So he really put his heart into entertaining and flattering Chai Shao and Li Qiu.

In the end, he even heard that Li Qiu had the reputation of Mr. Xiaoyao.

He wanted to get a group of beautiful singers into the army to entertain everyone.

Upon hearing his suggestion, Li Qiu almost twisted his nose in anger.

Tell him directly with a bluff, take his things and leave immediately.

From now on, he is also not allowed to come here, and he is not allowed to send things here.

Seeing Li Qiu like this, this person had no choice but to nod and bow, and obeyed his orders very politely and left.

In front of Li Qiu, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others, he was very humble.

But think about it, in the face of the status, feats, and prestige of these few, he is really nothing as a small governor of the state.

Chapter 907 Special Benefits

In this hot, fidgety late summer.

Living in a military tent is not very comfortable after all.

But the advantage is that compared to others, Li Qiu has some special benefits.

That is, his military tent is closely adjacent to the military tent in the cloud.

Because Yunzhong was related to the Tang princess, a vacuum was almost formed around the two of them's military tents.

No one dares to disturb.

At leisure, the interior of the military tent.

The clothes in the cloud are also quite cool.
