Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 122 Negotiations
The thousands of Tang troops surrounded put up a defensive formation, Tian Liu'an squinted his eyes and looked at the back of Li Shan who was gradually going away, feeling agitated.

Full of hope, Liu Jun whispered: "The King of Huaiyang once said that this person is observant and talented, so he will be able to..."

In the middle of the conversation, he stopped abruptly, Liu Jun could only groan, and almost covered his face with his hands.

More than a thousand Tang soldiers and more than ten thousand Turkic people, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Shan, who was riding a white horse, was riding a little crookedly, and fell off the horse inadvertently.

At first, Su Dingfang thought it was the Turkic soldiers shooting arrows...but then he saw Li Shan rolling on the ground and quickly got up, trying to climb onto the horse's back in an extremely ugly posture.

But now without Guo Pu and Su Dingfang by his side, Li Shan failed to climb up after two attempts, and the inner thighs were still burning.

In the end, Li Shan was dumbfounded as he watched the white horse neigh and run away!

The two armies confronted each other, life and death, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared without a trace, tens of thousands of eyes were watching, watching Li Shan stretching out his hands and galloping wildly to chase the white horse that was running faster and faster.

When Li Shan and Zhou Zhaohe rode a horse to the front of the Turkic formation, they couldn't help laughing when they saw many Turkic soldiers...

This atmosphere is beneficial to negotiations... Li Shan can only persuade himself that if possible, he really hopes that the atmosphere will remain tense, at least he will not be so ashamed.

But Li Shan still maintained a calm mind, saluted, and quickly glanced at the Turkic man in the front. Standing under the banner, he should be the leader of the Turkic man. He looked very young. Although he was full of beards, he was only in his 20s age.

Zhou Zhao on the side looked at Li Shan in admiration, and didn't know whether he admired his stability in the face of danger or his thick skin.

The Turkic leader looked at the fur hat and machete brought up, nodded slightly, and said a few words.

Zhou Zhao listened attentively and translated in a low voice, "Hand over the man and let him go."

"People are in Guantao City." Li Shan said bluntly, "They want to enter the city."

Several Turkic generals chattered a lot, Li Shan looked sideways, Zhou Zhao shook his head, "I'm scolding you, do you want to listen?"

"no need."

The Turkic leader raised his hand, the noise stopped, and he pointed to Li Shan.

"Ask who you are."

Li Shan took a step forward, clasped his hands and said, "I, Li Shan, a native of Lingnan, moved to Zaocheng, Jizhou three years ago, and practiced medicine for a living. Ten days ago, he was coerced by the Tang army to go south."

There was no need for Zhou Zhao’s translation this time. A middle-aged general walked up to the Turkic leader and translated in a low voice. His clothes and hair bun showed that he was a Han.

The reason for choosing this identity is very simple... Maritime merchants dare not kill monks, and grassland tribes do not want to kill doctors.

The middle-aged general smiled, "Since he is a doctor, do you know Zhang Jixing, a famous doctor in Zaocheng?"

Li Shan looked solemn, "My teacher is Qi Jixing, a famous doctor in Zaocheng."

The middle-aged general's expression relaxed, and Zhou Zhao secretly slandered... Then you don't accept Qi Jixing's apprenticeship, so you have to be his apprentice? !

The Turkic leader looked at Li Shan with squinted eyes, suddenly whispered a few words, and waved for people to carry out the two wounded.

Li Shan is also speechless, we are here to negotiate, why are you staring at me?
While everyone was looking at the wounded, Li Shan also took a look at the Turkic leader. Although he was in his 20s, he was dressed in a typical Turkic style, but when he looked closely, he did not have the temperament of an ordinary grassland man.

Zhou Zhao vaguely guessed something... How many people can be so calm in front of tens of thousands of Turkic troops?
However, after that, Zhou Zhao couldn't care about those anymore. He glanced at the first injured person, and his face turned pale immediately.

It was the prisoner who was interrogated by himself, and was slashed by a soldier when he left...

Naturally, Li Shan also noticed it. He coughed twice, took off the burden from the white horse brought back by the Turkic people, took out daggers, cloth strips, medicine powder and other things from it, and shook the wine, there was still some left.

The wounded man obviously also found out, isn't this the two people who interrogated him?
Lying on the ground, his body was convulsing. The injured man stared at Li Shan with his eyes fixed on him. He tried to raise his right hand, and blood foamed from the corner of his mouth.

Li Shan smiled warmly at the Turkic leader, squatted down, and cut open the injured man's chest with a dagger. His hand was slightly crooked...Sorry, the artery was severed.

Zhou Zhao's face became paler and paler, you really dare to do it, are you really not afraid of death?
"It's good to let some blood..." Li Shan probed his neck, well, it must be hopeless.

The middle-aged general scolded: "Are you really a doctor?"

Li Shan didn't make a sound, and quickly moved to the side of the second wounded man. This is an unlucky ghost who was shot in the ribs and shot in the shoulder.

This time, Li Shanyun used a knife like flying, first cut open the flesh with extremely fast technique, took out the arrowhead, took out a small amount of wine to wash, applied medicine to bandage, and then treated the rib injury... As long as the main organs are not injured, it is difficult to treat not big.

"It's really a doctor." The middle-aged general who came forward to check muttered a few words, "Why did Tang Jun bring you?"

"There was a Turkic in the Tang army... a Turkic nobleman, who was injured, took me away." Li Shan spread his hands, "Just now the leader of the Tang army gave me that leather hat, and asked me to pass on a message..."

"Who is this person then?"

Li Shan shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

Zhou Zhao cursed in his heart, "Next week Zhao, a native of Bozhou, will live in Guantao. Because he is proficient in arithmetic, he will be recruited by the Tang army. Because he knows some Turkic language, he will accompany this doctor."

The middle-aged general turned around and asked a few words, then turned around and asked Li Shan what the Turkic youth looked like, how he was injured, and so on.

"The army retreated for thirty miles, Rong Er waited to enter the city, and the people handed over."

Zhou Zhao's mind relaxed, but Li Shan rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "This general, I can't make the decision. The Tang army..."

"Ok?"

"They want to replace...General, I'm just passing on the word, don't get angry." Li Shan said with a bitter face: "They said they want...to..."

"Substitution?" The middle-aged general sneered, "Who should I replace?"

Zhou Zhao was already in a state of desperation. Isn't it enough to retreat [-] miles before handing over people?

Do you have to make up your own mind to add drama?
Li Shan lowered his head and murmured: "They want to replace Liu...uh, the King of Han Dong."

Zhou Zhao was speechless, when did you, Li Shan, become so naive?

Exchange Liu Heita with a Turkic nobleman?

Even if the Turks were willing, Liu Heita would not!

It is said that Liu Heizai is a dog raised by the Turkic people...but they are going to cook dog meat hot pot. Do you think that if you raise it, it will not dare to bite you?
Apart from anything else, the middle-aged general drew his knife and slashed at him, what a joke!

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, a Turkic general drew his sword and separated the middle-aged general's sword, Li Shan was determined.

This proves that his deduction is correct. The identity of that Turkic youth must be very, very unusual... It is natural for tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers to go south to Yuebeizhou to kill Weizhou to rob people. I definitely don't want to see this scene.

Proposing Liu Heitai is just a test, of course, it is also to pave the way for the next step... The request to exchange Liu Heitai may be too much, so why not change to a head office that is not too much?

Li Shan was thinking about it, and he didn't know whether Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, was killed or captured... It seemed inappropriate to ask this question as a doctor.

But at this time, the Turkic leader suddenly raised his hand, and the middle-aged general walked away resentfully.

"This person is Liu Shishan, younger brother of King Dong of Han."

Li Shan snorted, how the hell can you speak Chinese... just now you were pretending, acting like one thing!

The Turkic leader paced over, "Of course the King of Handong can't, what they want is...no, what you want is King Huaiyang."

Li Shan took a deep breath, looked up, and his eyes collided with the Turkic leader.

After a moment of silence, Li Shan said softly: "I am indeed a doctor..."

"How dare you make decisions on your own?" The Turkic leader chuckled, "Your Excellency is so graceful, and you speak and behave like a family. It's hard to believe that you are just a doctor."

Li Shan felt a little regretful. He sensed the other party's thoughts and felt that the Turkic youth was a rare commodity to live in, so he temporarily proposed the condition of exchanging hostages... Unexpectedly, he missed his own truth.

The Turkic leader on the opposite side only spoke Turkic before, and he already had an extraordinary temperament, but when he switched to Chinese, he showed an extraordinary demeanor, and he was also thoughtful and observant... He was by no means an ordinary general.

Li Shan wondered in his heart whether it would be the Tuli Khan who later participated in the Weishui Alliance.

"That's it." The Turkic leader said loudly: "Retreat for fifty miles. After an hour, three hundred cavalry will be replaced by King Huaiyang."

"it is good."

Li Shan's first reaction was not that Li Daoxuan was really not dead, but an hour... This proves that the Turks actually brought Li Daoxuan in the army.

The Turkic army marched southward, from Jizhou to Xingzhou, and then into Beizhou and Weizhou, unexpectedly took Li Daoxuan with them...

It should be the night attack, or the attack on Wucheng County that exposed the horse's feet... Perhaps the other party also questioned the manors and villages along the way, so they took Li Daoxuan with them. If they failed to snatch anyone, they would exchange Li Daoxuan for hostages.

In fact, this is just Li Shan's ignorance.

The relationship between Turks and Li Tang is quite complicated. In the early stage, Li Yuan raised troops and was gentle with Turks and gave them jewelry.

After Li Tang established the country, Turkic soldiers often went south to plunder, and supported Liu Wuzhou, Yuan Junzhang, and Liu Heita behind their backs.

Whether it is war or peace, there are rounds once or twice a year, so Turkic and Li Tang often exchange hostages. This set of procedures... Both sides are very familiar.

In the fourth year of Wude, Jieli Khan led his troops to attack Yanmen to no avail, and detained Tang Dynasty envoy Hanyang Gong Su Gui, Taichang Qing Zheng Yuanxuan, and Zuo Xiaowei General Sun Shunde.

The Tang Dynasty also detained a considerable number of envoys such as Turkic Teller Rehan, and finally stopped the troops to make peace and exchanged hostages.

Jieli Khan presented fish glue as a gift, saying that it was used to cement the reconciliation between the two countries, and Li Yuan also gave a generous gift.

Therefore, Li Shan felt a little strange, but for the Turkic leader, it was just a normal operation.

With an order, the Turkic soldiers retreated to the north. The Turkic leader watched the two cavalry slowly heading southward, and sighed: "Among the army, stay calm and calm. The Central Plains is really a land of outstanding people, and there are many talented people."

As soon as the words fell, the Turkic leader realized that he had said his praise a bit too early... The unlucky Li Shan fell headlong from his horse again.

Obviously he can't ride a horse, how can he be calm and composed!
