One hundred thousand elite soldiers, these are cavalry, not the imperial soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They are very strong in battle. As long as they are commanded properly, they can defeat the Tang Dynasty's 200,000 infantrymen. However, such an elite cavalry force that has fought many battles was defeated by Li

Hong was despised. An Lai had the urge to vomit blood. Do you really not know the combat effectiveness and lethality of the 100,000 Jingqi, or are you deliberately teasing me?

"Your Highness, do you think the Tang Dynasty's military strength in the Western Regions can withstand a hundred thousand Tibetan cavalry?" At this moment, An Lai stopped being dirty and asked bluntly.

The meaning of his words was already obvious, that is, if the Tang Dynasty did not agree to his request, 100,000 Tibetan elite cavalry would send troops to the Western Regions.

Emperor Gaozong, Empress Wu, and the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace were all shocked when they heard what An Lai said. If Tubo really wanted to send 100,000 elite cavalry to the Western Regions, then the Tang Dynasty would have spent tens of millions of money and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to be able to

Didn’t the Western Regions, which had been managed for decades, become the meat in Tubo’s mouth?

Although this piece of meat from the Western Regions is a bit tasteless, it is still meat after all. How can we give it to Tibet?

Therefore, what Gaozong, Empress Wu and the ministers meant was that a period of peace could be exchanged for a small price, and Tubo would be given whatever they wanted, as long as they gave up their plan to attack the Western Regions!

This was the reason why he was preparing to negotiate with An Lai, but now that Li Hong had messed it up, how could they not be impatient.

Suddenly, at this moment Li Ji spoke, "Ambassador An, Tubo really wants to send 100,000 troops to the Western Regions?"

He was a veteran in the army, and it was difficult for anyone to match his murderous aura. Now he was looking at An Lai with cold eyes. The murderous aura emanating from his body made An Lai feel that his breathing was a little short.

An Lai was also a man who had seen the world and experienced great storms. He was not afraid of Li Ji's threat at all. Instead, he said quarrelsomely, "Mr. British, do you think there is a problem?"

"Don't you Tubo fear the army of the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ji couldn't help it anymore. When did the ambassador of a vassal country become so arrogant and dare to contradict him? Even the emperor and the empress of the Tang Dynasty would have to fight against him.

How polite is he?

"The Tang Dynasty was locked in a bitter battle with Goryeo, Baekje and Silla on the battlefield in the northeast. How many armies do you have in the Western Regions?" Speaking of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, An Lai was very powerful. If Tubo had not been able to defeat the strength of the Tang Dynasty,

The defense investigation is very clear, how dare you be so arrogant in front of the Tang Dynasty? "The British Lord must know that one hundred thousand Tibetan elite cavalry is enough to rival the Tang Dynasty's two hundred thousand elite soldiers, not to mention the Tubo's more than one hundred thousand elite cavalry."

Because Li Ji used his power to suppress others, he inspired the bloody nature in Anlai's body, and his words began to become unscrupulous. After all, no matter how familiar Anlai was with the culture and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how much he spoke like a Tang person, he was still a Tibetan.

, the warlike blood of the Tubo people still flows in his bones, so if you want to use force to overwhelm others, you must have the strength to convince him. Obviously Li Ji did not do this.

Li Hong frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but he did not speak again. Instead, he continued to give the right to speak to Li Ji, letting Li Ji and An Lai compete with each other. Who asked Li Ji to insist on coming forward and inspire

How bloody is Chu Anlai? He is negotiating with the Tubo people today. No matter what the outcome will be after the negotiation meeting, he will bear the full responsibility and he will be responsible to the end. But now what is going on with you, Li Ji, suddenly getting involved?

ah!

The officials of the Tang Dynasty have now turned their attention to Li Ji, because now they have pinned their hopes on Li Ji, because the negotiation between the Crown Prince and the Tibetan mission just now obviously disappointed them. As for Gaozong and Empress Wu, they also have

The same idea was that they did not want to fall out with Tubo at this time, so that Tang Dynasty would fall into a two-front war situation, so the two of them were also prepared to compromise with Tubo.

"An Lai, don't bully others too much!" Li Ji yelled.

Now that both parties have reached the point of meeting each other, there is no need for both parties to continue to pretend. Besides, Li Ji is not such a person, otherwise he would not have used his power to overwhelm others just now.

"Mr. British, what you said is so unfair. Who bullied others too much?" An Lai said angrily, "Who was the one who used our Tibetan princess as a bet and forced her to enter the Eastern Palace? Sang Ying was framed and imprisoned.

Whose fault is this? Don’t you still know all this? We, the Tibetan envoys, came to the Tang Dynasty despite thousands of miles, and we have only been here for a few days, and we are treated so politely by you. Who do you think is bullying people too much?"

An Lai's words pointed the finger directly at Li Hong. His meaning was very obvious. He was forced to do this by Li Hong. The reason why he said this was because he saw Li Hong suddenly lost his temper during the negotiation.

Without the right to speak, he felt that Li Hong's status in the Xuanzheng Palace was not too high, so he blamed everything on Li Hong.

This is a skill in negotiation, blaming all the mistakes on the other party so that the other party cannot refute.

Li Ji was immediately speechless, because what An said was not wrong. Li Hong had indeed done these things, but Li Hong was the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all. Did he dare to say that Li Hong was wrong in the Xuanzheng Palace? Impossible.

Does he dare to admit that Li Hong did it in the Xuanzheng Palace? This is also impossible.

Therefore, at this time, Li Ji didn't know how to refute An Lai, so he could only snort and say nothing.

Li Ji didn't speak, and the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace didn't know what to say. The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence. This was the first time for Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu to encounter this situation. When the ministers of the Tang Dynasty faced the Tibetan envoys, there was no one.

Dare to speak.

In fact, it's not that everyone has nothing to say, but everyone knows that this matter is very difficult and cannot be interfered with. If someone is not good, it will cause trouble, so everyone chooses to remain silent.

At this time, everyone remembered His Highness the Crown Prince Shi, the protagonist of this negotiation, and turned their attention to Li Hong.

Li Hong sneered in his heart. When Li Ji and An Lai were competing with each other just now, everyone was optimistic about Li Ji. Now that Li Ji has taken a break, he only thinks of himself. You guys are so stupid, right?

Besides, during the negotiation just now, Li Ji let An Lai take the upper hand and let An Lai tell him before him that Sang Ying was framed and imprisoned. This disrupted Li Hong's idea of ​​using Sang Ying to kill people as an excuse to find a breakthrough. Now Li Hong

Even if he uses this as an excuse to negotiate with An Lai, the effect will definitely not be very good, which makes Li Hong passive during the negotiation process.

Li Hong knew what everyone was thinking, but at this time he chose to remain silent. He wanted to see what Gaozong and Empress Wu meant, whether they still wanted to continue talking, or whether they were ready to compromise with Tubo now. He was not ignorant of the general situation.

Man, but if he can't get the guarantee from Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu here, and talks about a situation like Li Ji happening again, and messing up his plans, it will be useless no matter how perfect the opportunity is in his heart! (To be finished
