Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Envoy (3)

Li Ke's words were like a thunderclap, ringing in Tu Li's mind. Is he willing to be a little second-hand man under Jie Li? Of course not. Doesn't he know how his father died? He knows.

The Tang prince in front of him obviously expressed his uneasiness. He had never thought about getting rid of Jieli, not only for himself, but also for the Turks.

But he hesitated for a long time. After all, he was not alone. There were tens of thousands of elders in the tribe. If they failed, they would be slaughtered like the cattle and sheep on the grassland. Seeing that Tuli was hesitating, Li Ke gave him another

His powerful dose of medicine completely destroyed Tu Li's inner defenses.

"Xiao Wang will report to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to become a brother of the opposite sex with you and marry you to your tribe. From this, His Highness the Khan can feel at ease."

Tu Li gritted his teeth and had a drink with Li Ke and said, "If you can succeed with Jie Li this time, I will follow your advice."

With Tu Li's secret help, Li Ke and his party successfully arrived at Jie Li's camp. However, the camp was not so easy to enter. The Turk general Zhili lost his mind and stood at the gate and said proudly: "Please ask the Tang Dynasty for peace."

Let us dismount our horses and enter the camp."

You, Liu Yu, quit. I'm here to negotiate, not to surrender. Li Ke gave Liu Yu a look and strode towards Jieli's army from the swords and axes on both sides.

"The little king Li Ke has met the Khan." Just when Li Ke was about to continue, a Turkic general stood up and loudly scolded Li Ke for why he didn't kneel down when he saw the Great Khan. Aren't he afraid of death?

Li Ke has seen a lot of this kind of thing. If he was frightened like this, then he wouldn't use it.

"The king is here to negotiate, not to surrender. The negotiations between the two countries are related to the national system. You, a remote general, are still talking here. You really don't know what to say."

Li Ke's words angered the Turkic general, but this guy obviously had no education. After cursing a few words, he pointed at you, Li Ke, and you couldn't say what you said.

As Jie Li's confidant, Aqinu naturally couldn't let Li Ke humiliate one of his people like this, "King Han of the Tang Dynasty, you are in the tent of my Great Khan, and you reprimand the Great Khan's beloved general like this. Where are your politeness?

Aren't you afraid of being like Su Wu and staying here to herd sheep for the rest of your life?"

Aqinu's words made the people in the sweat tent burst into laughter, and they all said that they still lacked a horseman.

Li Ke looked at Jie Li without changing his expression and said: "Your tribe has been on the grassland for hundreds of years. It has a strong national power and a vast territory. When Li Ke came here, he thought this country was a great state, but now it seems that it is just mediocre."

After Li Ke finished speaking, Jie Li signaled everyone to be quiet and asked in a sinister voice: "Li Ke, aren't you afraid that I will kill you for saying this? You must know that the beloved general who insulted this Khan in my king's tent is

Even if I kill you, Li Shimin won't say anything."

"Khan, your subordinates have no dignity. Negotiations between the two countries are such an important matter. You, the king of this country, didn't say anything. Do you think that if the little king kills him in this king's tent, are you disciplining the Khan?

Where is this disobedient dog?”

Li Ke was very happy, but the other Turkic generals were not so happy. They all looked at Li Ke with cold expressions on their faces. As long as they broke into a sweat and stood up, they would chop Li Shimin's son into pieces in an instant.

However, Jie Li's ideas were very different from theirs. On the contrary, he admired people who were not afraid of death. In his eyes, the Southern Dynasties were many cowards, not to mention the princes and princes. But today Li Ke impressed him with admiration.

Jieli smiled and told the waiter beside him: "Show the King of Han a seat. He is a true warrior and has won the respect of the Turkic Khan."

"King Han, I don't know what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty thought about the conditions proposed by this Khan."

Li Ke brushed his sleeves, glanced at Tuli, and said to Jieli: "Khan, you want too much. The Central Plains is an agricultural country. It takes time to grow food. In the lean season, Khan wants too much."

The Tang Dynasty can’t take out so much of it.”

"Oh, your father doesn't plan to have these 30,000 people, so why are you here?" Hearing Li Ke say that he is confused because he has no money to make profits. Why do you do this if you have no money? Are you looking for death?

"My father is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he will not ignore those people. If the Khan insists on this number, then only Xiao Wang will accompany them. In this way, he will have an account to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor's people.

.”

"Besides, what's wrong with Khan? I just redeemed them and went there to get food to feed them. But it's different with Khan. You don't lack food. These 30,000 people

Wouldn't it be nice if I stayed with you for three to five years and then my father redeemed me?"

Seeing Li Ke's rogue behavior, Jie Li smiled. It turned out to be a good calculation: "Okay, let's stop talking about these nonsense. Just tell us how much food Li Shimin plans to use in exchange for these 30,000 people."

"Ten thousand loads of grain and a thousand bolts of silk." As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, the sweat tent exploded. Such a small amount of food was not enough to feed the border residents during this period. Li Ke was clearly teasing them.

, one after another advised Jie Li to kill Li Ke, and went south to grab food themselves.

"Li Ke, you are really not afraid of death. Believe it or not, after I killed you, I went south to capture Chang'an and killed your father." Luo Jiaqi, the eldest son of Jieli, pulled out his machete and looked at Li Ke grimly.

road.

"You are worthy of it. I am an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and your father has treated me with great courtesy. If you do this, aren't you afraid of losing the face of the Turkic royal family, right, Khan?" Li Ke turned around and said to Jie

Li said.

After waving his hand to stop it, Jieli continued: "King Han, I'm afraid what you said is not the truth. I don't believe that the Tang Dynasty can't get it out."

"Khan, in the ninth year of Wude, you raised your troops and went south. You should know that at that time, the Tang Dynasty had already given you all the money and food from the treasury. It can be said that you were impoverished. In just three years, you asked us to go there and get you such

Money and food.”

At this time, Tu Li knew that it was his turn to take action, "Uncle, I have calculated it. What Li Ke said should be true. I heard that many people starved to death in Guanzhong and Hebei last year. How could Li Shimin look down on his own people if he was rich?"

It's normal to starve to death. It's not the autumn harvest season now, so it's normal to have no food.

Besides, these 30,000 mouths need to eat a lot of food in a day. We can’t feed them for nothing for Li Shimin. It’s better to return it to them and save worry.”

After hearing Tu Li's words, Luo Jiaqi retorted loudly: "Even if I kill them, it won't be easy for Li Shimin."

Li Ke sneered coldly: "The prince is very brave, but isn't the prince afraid that the Tang Dynasty will have another King Wu Dao?" "Li Ke, you, you" Luo Jiaqi was choked and couldn't speak.

King Wu Daotian's reputation is so great, mainly because he killed so ruthlessly that even now, the barbarians can only tremble when they hear his name.
