Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2206 Don't accept it
The Turkic envoys rushed to Chang'an City at full speed.

Their speed is very fast, and they only want to get the promise of their Datang emperor before the war begins.

If they want to surrender to Datang, Datang will naturally not be able to start a war against them.

When they came to Chang'an City, the weather in Chang'an City had already started to heat up, and the noise of cicadas kept coming and going.

When Li Shimin was busy in the imperial study, Changsun Wuji hurried over,

"My lord, the Turkic envoys came to Tang and said they would surrender us to Tang."

Hearing this news, Li Shimin was a little surprised, and then seemed to understand something.

"Did Xiliang attack the Turks?"

Changsun Wuji nodded: "Xiliang has already started to prepare for the attack on the Turks."

Li Shimin let out a groan, feeling a little shocked. Xiliang just made some preparations for the attack on the Turks, so the Turks rushed to surrender in fright?

This Xiliang is so majestic.

Li Shimin felt sour in his heart.

However, he recovered quickly and asked, "Auxiliary machine, the Turks are about to surrender. Do you think we should accept their surrender?"

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly. He knew Li Shimin's thoughts very well. He wanted Xiliang to attack the Turks in the first place in order to weaken Xiliang's troops.

But this cannot be said now.

"Your Majesty, Turkic wolves are ambitious. Who knows if their surrender is sincere, but don't surrender openly, and secretly cause trouble for our Tang Dynasty. If this is the case, our Tang Dynasty will not tire of it. If so, we Datang was tricked by the Turks, can we accept this, we can’t accept it.”

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, the auxiliary machine is reasonable. In a country like Turkic, I, Tang, can't trust them. If so, then don't accept their surrender. Order to go on, the Turkic envoy is gone."

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, although you don't accept their surrender, I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable to refuse them like this even if you don't see them. It's better to see the Turkic envoy and humiliate him." The envoy has some time, so it is better to find another reason to refuse."

Today's Turks are terrified of being beaten by Xiliang, they can't see any blood in their bodies.

Changsun Wuji felt that this was not good. If Xiliang could easily wipe out the Turks, what would be the point? Therefore, humiliating the Turks might be of some help to the Turks, letting them know their shame and be brave.

Here, Li Shimin also felt that what Changsun Wuji said was reasonable, and he refused the Turks' surrender without seeing him.

"In that case, let's meet that Turkic envoy."

After the two monarchs and ministers agreed in this way, they knew that the Turkic envoys would have an audience tomorrow morning.

As for the Turkic envoys, after learning that he had the opportunity to meet Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was somewhat relieved, thinking that he felt that Li Shimin would only meet him if Li Shimin intended to accept their Turkic surrender, right?

If Li Shimin had no intention of accepting their Turkic surrender at all, why bother to meet him?

They Turks surrendered to Datang, there is hope.
-
Early the next morning, not long after the court meeting began, Li Shimin ordered people to call the Turkic envoys into the hall.

After the Turkic envoy entered the hall, he quickly saluted Li Shimin. Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Why did Ashina Helu send you to my Tang Dynasty?"

As for the Turkic Khan, Li Shimin didn't seem to pay much attention to him at all, and called him by his first name directly.

This is already disrespectful to Ashina Helu, the Turkic envoy twitched slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but thinking of his mission this time, he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only say quickly: "God His Majesty Khan, His Majesty Khan has always admired Datang, so he specially asked me to go to Datang to express our Turkic intentions. We Turks want to submit to Datang, pay tribute to you, and be yours from generation to generation. A vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"It means you are willing to surrender to my Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin said very directly, what kind of vassal state, what surrender, isn't it surrender?

Li Shimin really didn't give any face.

The face of the Turkic envoy had turned a little livid, but he still forcibly endured it, and said: "Yes, I am Turk...willing to surrender to you Datang."

Li Shimin groaned, and said, "Do you really surrender?"

Is it really true or not to surrender?
The Turkic envoy bit his lip and said, "Of course it is sincere."

Li Shimin nodded: "Since you sincerely surrender, how about giving half of your Turkic territory to me, Datang?"

"This..." The Turkic envoys clicked their tongues a little. They just surrendered, but they never said that they would give up half of their territory.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"I, Turkic, am willing to pay tribute every year." The Turkic envoy said boldly.

However, after he finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately showed an angry look, and said: "Shang Gong, hum, you Turks are so barren, what good things can Shang Gong produce? I don't know what you Turks have in mind. Thoughts, nothing more than wanting to overcome this difficulty, if you are strong, you will not have to trouble me, Datang, surrender, it sounds really nice, even half of the territory is not willing to give me, and even said to surrender to me Tang, this is ridiculous, do you really think that I, Tang, are easy to play tricks on?"

Li Shimin was very angry, and after he said this, the Turkic envoy was already a little panicked. After all, this was the emperor's anger. Even if he was very courageous, he was very scared now.

"You Turks have burned and harassed our Tang Dynasty in Xiliang before, and I don't know how many people in Yumen Pass have been killed by you. Now, you want me to accept your surrender with just a word of surrender and tribute. Do you want me to accept your surrender? It’s too simple. It’s easy for me, Datang, to accept your surrender. If you don’t have half of the territory, if you want to surrender, I, Datang, still don’t accept it. Then Ashina Helu, what a dog Things, is he worthy of negotiating terms with me?"

Scolding, scolding very happily, Li Shimin scolded heartily all over his body.

However, the face of the Turkic envoy was very good-looking. He had already understood that he was obviously played by Datang, and not only was he played by Datang, Li Shimin of Datang also humiliated them. Your Majesty the Khan, compare their Khan tourmalines to dogs.

Humiliation, this is nothing short of humiliation.

He got a little angry.

"In that case, let's meet on the battlefield."

The Turkic envoys were not afraid of death at this time, and they were also bloody.

Li Shimin snorted: "Get out, I will let the king of Xiliang send Ashina Helu's dog head to Chang'an City."
