The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian was quite brave when he yelled. If Heng Lian and Du Pingyuan were not pulling him, he might have escaped.

Seeing Li Chengqian's frightened face, Du Pingyuan hurriedly said: "Your Highness is now representing the Great Tang, so you must not lose the face of the Great Tang. You don't have to be afraid of Turks and barbarians. You can do it after seeing my young master's clever plan." care about."

It was only then that Li Chengqian realized that Du Rui had given Du Pingyuan a kit before he set off, and hurriedly asked him to take it out to look at it, but after reading it, Li Chengqian's already terrified face became even paler.

Thirty thousand grain and ten thousand silk. If you want it, you can make an agreement. If you don't want it, please take care of the thirty thousand people in Suizhou on my behalf. I don't know how much food is still needed?

After Li Chengqian saw it, he felt bitter in his heart, and said: "Chengming misled me, what kind of a good strategy is this, it is clearly intended to anger Xieli!"

Du Pingyuan, who was on the side, also looked at it, pondering Du Rui's intentions in his heart, and suddenly said happily: "Your Highness! My young master is going to help His Highness make a great contribution!"

Li Chengqian heard the words and said: "What is the meaning of this!? It is not easy to get out of the body now, how can I make a great contribution!"

Du Pingyuan analyzed: "The meaning of my young master is to force Jieli to release people. Now that the Turks are short of food, they have just gone south to plunder. If we bring [-] Suizhou people back to the grassland and kill them, it will arouse me even more. The people of the Tang Dynasty resented the Turkic people. If they were raised as slaves, they would need food and clothing. The Turkic people did not have enough food and clothing. How to raise the [-] people in Suizhou? Naturally, he will let people go!"

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "What Jieli wants is 30 grain and grass, and [-] money. If you can use [-] grain and [-] money to redeem [-] Suizhou people, it will be a great achievement, but it is only a million dollars." Yi Jieli's ambition to kill [-] people in Suizhou will make him a sinner through the ages, although Cheng Ming's plan is good, I'm afraid there will be some accidents!"

When Du Pingyuan heard the words, he just lamented Li Chengqian's benevolence in his heart, and said: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, my young master has always calculated everything, and this plan will surely come true!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian had already arrived in front of Jieli's camp, even if he regretted it, it was too late. He could only choose to believe in Du Rui's plan, and there was no other way.

Seeing that Li Chengqian hesitated to move forward, the stubborn man said angrily: "The Li family's children are all in front of my sweater's tent, why don't you come to see me!?"

Henglian and Du Pingyuan winked at Li Chengqian respectively. At this time, Li Chengqian knew that riding a tiger would be difficult, but he didn't want to lose face to the Tian family. He took a deep breath, raised his head and urged the horse forward, and said : "Where is Jieli Khan, quickly lead the way!"

Seeing this, he thought to himself: It really is Li Shimin's flesh and blood, he has such courage at such a young age.

But he didn't know that now Li Chengqian had figured it out, since the situation was like this, it would be superfluous to think about anything, instead of trembling with fear, it's better to let go of his hands and feet and take a gamble.

Li Chengqian entered Jieli's big tent with Henglian Suizhi lost his mind. On the seat in front of him was a bearded Khan with wolf eyes and eagle nose. It was Jieli Khan. Qi Bi will join forces and other leaders.

Li Chengqian is also willing to go all out now, slightly cupped his hands at Jieli, and said proudly: "The Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, has seen Jieli Khan!"

Seeing this, Shi Luodie was furious: "You yellow-haired boy, why don't you kneel when you see my father sweating?!"

Although Li Chengqian was shocked, he kept Du Rui's advice in mind, and proudly retorted: "A minister of a big country does not worship the lord of a small country! Gu is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of a country, how can he kneel if he says he can kneel!"

Shi Luodie wanted to say something, but Jieli stopped him and said, "You are Li Shimin's prince?"

Li Chengqian said: "Exactly!"

Jieli nodded, staring at Li Chengqian with stern eyes and said, "Have you brought all the things I asked for in the letter?"

Li Chengqian remembered the strategies in Du Rui's kit, and said: "I brought them all, and now they are all in Yanzhou. We just wait for the Khan to release my [-] people from Suizhou, and the food and silk will naturally be offered!"

Jieli Khan didn't expect that Li Shimin didn't even bargain, so he agreed to everything, and he couldn't help feeling very puzzled. He originally thought that the lion would open his mouth to let Li Shimin bargain, and then he could use this as an excuse to force other tribes to join him. Go south to herd horses.

Taizong did not agree to all of them. This time when he sent Li Chengqian, he spent all his money in the treasury, and only managed to collect 20 dans of grain and [-] dans of money.

"What I want is 30 dans of grain and [-] cash, and you brought them all!?"

Li Chengqian hesitated a little in his heart, but when he thought of the dignity of the Tang Dynasty that Du Rui said, he couldn't help feeling proud, and said: "Khan asks too much, and my Tang Dynasty can't satisfy even if I spend all my treasury. After discussion among the ministers, they can only allocate [-] dan of grain and [-] dan of money from the inner government."

Jieli was angry when he heard the words, and said: "What I want is 30 dans of grain and grass and [-] dans of money, but Li Shimin only wants to give [-] tans of grain and [-] tans of money. Doesn't he want the [-] dans in Suizhou city?" last name?"

Zhi Shili also said angrily: "Li Shimin, should our Turkic warriors be sent away as beggars? Since Li Shimin is stingy with money, Khan! Why don't we send troops to the south now and go straight to Chang'an. If Li Shimin doesn't give us the food and money we want, we will do it ourselves Go get it."

Seeing this, Li Chengqian was terrified, but his words were not weak: "The Khan asks too much. If you give it, the country will perish. If you don't give it, you still have the power to fight. The Turks have iron cavalry warriors. My Tang Dynasty can't help it." There is no one who dares to die! When I was leaving alone, my father also explained that if the Khan was too small, then the [-] people in Suizhou would ask the Khan to take care of them! I just don’t know how much food and grass will be needed? Khan must think clearly!"

Hearing the words, Jieli hesitated instead. Although he could be called a hero for a while, he was always scheming and suspicious by nature. Seeing Li Chengqian Huanghuang's manly appearance at this moment, he didn't know how to make a decision. .

"In that case, please go and rest the prince of the Tang Dynasty first, and Ben Khan discuss it with the other leaders!"

Li Chengqian wiped his cold sweat secretly, cupped his hands to Jieli, and went out, leaving only Jieli and his ministers.

"Tell me how to deal with it at this time?"

Tuli has always been dissatisfied with Jieli, and he is unwilling to do his best in the war. He just wants to preserve his strength, so he keeps silent at this time, for fear of being the first bird.Others, such as Qi Bi He Li, etc., at this time are only Taoist, and everything is decided by Jie Li.

When Jieli saw this, he suddenly felt a pang of sorrow. If the Turks at this time can be united, Jieli may not be able to go south to herd horses like the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols later, occupying the colorful world of the Central Plains, and the beautiful rivers and mountains. It's a pity that although the Turks are temporarily gathered together under the oppression of his powerful force, they also have their own ideas.

Thinking of this time, Jieli had no choice but to say: "It seems that Li Shimin is really going to be tough this time. Now that Li Shimin is ready, it's the rainy season again, and the water level in Wei and Wei is high. It's not good for me to march at this time. I have no choice but to agree to Li Shimin!"

Hearing the words, he was shocked and said: "Khan means to release the 3 captives and return them to Li Shimin, Khan! Absolutely not, then Li Shimin humiliated us so much, it will be seen in the end, it is better to send Those [-] people were all killed, and the head of that bastard prince was also beheaded, even if he can't fight Datang now, he can't take advantage of that kid Li Shimin!"

Jieli took a look at the most loyal and courageous Zhishisili under his tent, and sighed: "I have been thinking for the past few days, why the resistance we encounter every time we go south is so fierce, could it be that those southerners are really Are you afraid of killing? Now I also want to understand, it is not that the southerners are not afraid of killing, but our scimitar makes them remember the hatred of cutting teeth, knowing that even if they surrender, they will die. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to fight hard , it seems that we have to change the way we treat the southerners, otherwise, every time we encounter resistance in the future will be more violent than the last time, let’s forget about this time! Damn Li Shimin, don’t you Is it really my nemesis? Why are you so good at giving birth to a son!"

Li Chengqian brought Heng Lian and Du Pingyuan to a tent. After leaving Jieli's big tent, Li Chengqian felt afraid for a while. But I will explain it here.

Du Pingyuan inquired in detail, and seeing what Li Chengqian said, everything he did was exactly as Du Rui taught, so he felt relieved, and smiled at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness! Let's clean it up! Wait for a while and we should Back to Yanzhou!"

Li Chengqian was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "There is no reply from Jieli yet, how do you say we can leave now?"

Du Pingyuan said: "My young master said it all. He was sure that Xieli would agree to our conditions, so the villain said that we can leave today!"

Li Chengqian didn't believe it, and when he was about to speak, he heard someone outside say: "My family's Khan asked Tang envoy Khan to talk about it!"

Li Chengqian was startled, and couldn't help looking at Du Pingyuan, but Du Pingyuan still had a smile on his face.
