Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 553 is sent!

When Xia Lin first met Ashina Khan, he felt that he was very different from what he had imagined. He looked old and hunched. Isn't it said that the grass and water on the grassland can nourish people? How could he have produced such a terrible person?

"Hello, hello." Xia Lin took the initiative to step forward and greeted: "I didn't see you ten years ago, and I didn't expect to see you again ten years later."

Ashina Khan gave a bitter smile. He stood there, not knowing what to say or do. Nothing he did felt right. He just stood there stiffly.

"Sit down, sit down."

The staff nearby brought chairs and the two sides started chatting in the inn.

"Ashina Khan, don't be so reserved. The diplomacy of a great power should be magnanimous." Xia Lin sat down with a smile: "Now, things have come to this point, which is really what no one wants to see, but the problem is that things have already happened and we can't escape it. But since the Khan is here, we should have a good chat according to the rules."

Ashina Khan pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time. Finally, he could no longer bear the pressure and said, "General Xia, in military affairs, winning and losing are common, but your offer is a bit too high. I'm sorry that I, the Turks, cannot afford it."

Xia Lin was not panicked, but smiled and asked someone to bring a cup of hot tea to the Khan: "I heard that the tea from Fuliang is very popular with the Khan."

Although he didn't know why Xia Lin suddenly mentioned this, Ashina Khan still replied: "Indeed, why did General Xia ask this question?"

Just as Xia Lin was about to speak, a report came from outside: "Eastern Turkic Khan, Zhishishe has arrived!"

Upon hearing this name, Xia Lin and Ashina Khan of Western Turkic were both stunned. No one expected that after Xia Lin refused to negotiate with the envoys of Eastern Turkic, their Khan would come in person.

However, this is not the end. Then a series of names appeared in Xia Lin's ears.

"The Tang Emperor's special envoy Fang Xuanling has arrived with his delegation."

"Zhong Qu, the chief of the Sanpin Temple of the Honglu Temple of the Great Wei Dynasty, has arrived."

"Heba Liang, the governor of Hexi Road of the Tang Dynasty, has arrived."

This group of envoys arrived almost at the same time as Ashina. There was no need to explain it clearly. The temptation of more than 50 million taels of silver was really too great, so great that no force could afford it.

So they came here, to put it bluntly, to pick peaches.

Xia Lin tilted his head to listen to the noise, sneered, turned back to Ashina Khan and said, "Khan, there are so many people who want to eat your flesh."

Ashina Khan also sighed, and then said nothing.

However, the standard this time was really high. Perhaps both sides knew that it would be useless to just ask some little Karami to go to negotiate with Xia Lin, so they gave a very luxurious team of envoys.

Fang Xuanling needs no further explanation. Fang's strategy and Du's judgment are the most effective combination under Li Yuan. The third-rank temple director of the Honglu Temple of the Great Wei Dynasty is not a real power position, but his status is very high. As long as Emperor Jingtai appoints a crown prince, he must be the crown prince's tutor, and he is also a top figure in the family of diplomacy.

Didn’t Xia Lin always say that he was from the Zongheng family? Now that the ancestor of the Zongheng family had come out of seclusion, he couldn’t just not give them any face, right?

There is also the Hexi Governor, which is equivalent to the Hexi Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty. The rank of Jiedushi is very high, and it is the ceiling of external officials, similar to the level of Lao Guo.

As soon as this group of people came, the small border area immediately became lively. Xia Lin couldn't negotiate with Ashina Khan at this moment. He could only stand up and smile: "Khan, I'm afraid we have to go to another place to talk. Khan, don't worry about my face later. You can scold me as much as you want. We still have room for negotiation. But if you give in in front of them, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Everyone was smart. Ashina Khan understood everything as soon as Xia Lin said that Xia Lin's big request could actually be negotiated, but if this group of wolves were allowed to join the fight, the Western Turks would have no choice but to die.

And it’s not that the Western Turks can’t fight, they just can’t beat Xia Daosheng. If others have the guts to try fighting, they’ll get their heads blown off.

To put it bluntly, the reason they lost to Xia Lin this time was that they underestimated the opponent's comprehensive combat capability. Most of their weapons, food, soldiers, horses, etc. were actually supplied by the nobles of Chang'an.

They were all familiar with this gameplay. The nobles paid for his military expenses and provided some supplies. He then sent troops to attack a certain place, and then fought against military generals who were also from noble families. The two sides fought for a while and then the other side was defeated. The Turks besieged the city, and then the court put pressure on the emperor. The emperor compromised and agreed to let the nobles achieve a certain goal. Then the nobles sent "incomparably powerful" generals to meet the Turkish barbarians in a certain place. After a passionate clash, the Turks were defeated and fled into the desert.

Then the nobles proposed some policies that were beneficial to the Turks, and the two sides lived in peace for many years without any talk of breaking the balance.

Do you really think that the Turks don't know that they can't invade the Central Plains with their small forces? Even if they really invade, unless they can really inherit the throne and become a dynasty, once the passive skill of the Han people, the Bloody Great Wall, is triggered, a person with the title of "national hero" will suddenly appear among the weak Han people, and the Han people who have collectively taken the golden elixir will be able to scatter their ashes.

Everyone is here to make some money, why bother with their lives? Since the Five Barbarians invaded China, almost all the pure-blooded Five Barbarians have been wiped out!
But now, suddenly there appeared such an unreasonable Xia Lin, who was really chopping when he came up. The heavy infantry could not be cut by swords or chopped by axes, and he remained motionless after being hit by a crossbow. Unless they used catapults to smash him hard or crossbows to ram him hard, there was really no way to stop him.

The key is that they can also summon thunder from the sky. According to the soldiers who ran back from the front line, when the thunder from the sky of Xia Lin’s army sounded, people and horses would fall to the ground. People who were hit would be crushed to pieces. The horses would not listen to commands at all and would be scared and run around. The heavy casualties were caused by the thunder from the sky of this army.

Yes, and there is also their evil fire, which cannot be extinguished even by water. Once it touches the skin and armor, it will burn all the way to the bones, and it will not be extinguished until the bones are exposed.

Everyone was getting along well with each other. We were both bad at playing exhibition matches to earn some money to survive. Suddenly, a crocodile jumped out of this pond of miscellaneous fish. It has high health, thick defense, rough skin and flesh, a voice like muffled thunder, and can spit evil fire from its mouth. How can people play like this?
The negotiation venue was soon moved to the largest restaurant in the town, but due to limited conditions it could only be temporarily arranged here.

The city was under martial law, and there were soldiers of all colors everywhere, including the Tang Army, the Turkic Army, the Wei Army, the Tang Border Army, and the Green Forest Army. The five-color uniforms were displayed there, and all the other soldiers were staring at the Green Forest Army's armor. It was hard for them to imagine what these damn Green Forest Army ate on a daily basis. They even wore heavy armor when they were on guard duty...

Originally, it was Xia Lin's extortion show, but now it has become a meeting of all parties. Although I can understand the idea of ​​these people wanting to get a piece of the pie, the way they are eating is really a bit ugly.

Xia Lin was the first to enter. He sat down at the main seat without saying a word. The older members of the delegation around him turned pale. You know, these people are probably the ones who value rules the most. They would just walk away if the fish head was not placed properly on the table. But now they had to watch Xia Lin, a young man, sitting at the core of the negotiation table.

But no one came out to find fault with Xia Lin at this moment. Even if they were very unhappy, they still suppressed their emotions and sat there waiting. After Xia Lin sat down, the lieutenant general next to him immediately prepared everything. He pretended to flip through the files and asked without even raising his head: "What are you doing here without being invited?"

Fang Xuanling, the most alert among them all, immediately smiled and said, "It's like this. We heard that General Xia has defeated the Turkic tribe, so we came here to investigate on the orders of the emperor."

Xia Lin lowered his eyelids and smiled: "What a good investigation. Well, things here are quite complicated, you guys start the discussion. I will not participate in the discussion for the time being, you guys just speak your mind."

It was not until Xia Lin gave in that the delegation immediately began to explain their positions one by one.

The first to speak was the Khan of the Eastern Turks. He spoke passionately about the brutality of the Western Turks and the damage they had done to the people of the grasslands and the damage they had done to the Eastern Turks themselves. When he was moved, he even began to speak in his native language. Xia Lin coughed at this moment, "Great Khan Zhishi, please be careful with your words. Please continue."

The Khan of the Eastern Turks also realized his gaffe and quickly recovered. Then he put forward his demands, asking the Western Turks to return the 880 miles of territory that originally belonged to the Eastern Turks and had been occupied over the years.

At this moment, the Western Turkic Khan Ashina slammed the table and jumped up: "You slave bastard..."

"Ashina Khan, please be careful with your words." Xia Lin knocked on the table: "Diplomacy of a great power should be magnanimous. Please continue."

"Zhishi! You relied on the help of the Han people to seize my kingdom, how dare you say such things here? If I can't beat the Han generals, how can I beat you? If you have the ability, then station your troops in Yinshan, and we will fight to the death. Whoever loses will give up the grassland."

"You are such a defeated general." Fang Xuanling sneered at this moment: "A defeated general dares to bark here?"

"Master Fang." Xia Lin raised his head. "Hey, I said they didn't say anything about you, right? If you do this again, get out!"

Although Xia Lin tried very hard to maintain order in the venue, they eventually ended up quarreling. They started by besieging Ashina Khan of the Western Turkic Khaganate, but soon when their demands conflicted, the gang began to bite each other.

Fang Xuanling said that the salaries and food for the Green Forest Army were all supplied by Chang'an, so Chang'an should get some of the compensation, at least 30%.

At this moment, the Hexi Jiedushi jumped out and said that Fang Xuanling's words could be understood by normal people, which was "Fuck your mother, you in Chang'an still want to save face, so you only gave those fifty carts of grain, and all the subsequent grain was taken from me."

Then the Wei envoys insisted, "General Xia is a minister of Wei, and the Green Forest Army is the Wei Army, and the Green Forest Army is the imperial guard appointed by the Emperor of Wei. What does this victory have to do with you? I will return your food to you. What else does the Wei State need from you?"

The talks turned into a quarrel, with tables slammed and cups thrown. The civil officials in the room almost drew their swords. Fang Xuanling took the initiative to challenge each other to a fight at the entrance of Zhongqu Gate. Each of them would use three swords, and the one who survived would be the winner.

The Khans of the Eastern and Western Turks even took off their boots and threw them at each other.

Xia Lin held his head up and watched them gradually turn from a quarrel into a crazy brawl. He had no choice but to cough to interrupt the chaos: "Okay, I've seen that you all have no rules at all. How about this, let's stop today, everyone go back and have a rest, and fight again tomorrow... No, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, he lifted his cloak and left.

When the people present saw that the main character had left, they had nothing more to talk about, so they all bowed to each other as a way of saying goodbye.

The first day of negotiations between the various parties was a full exchange of views. All parties expressed that they could not ignore this matter. If the other party still insisted on going its own way, the consequences would be borne by the Eastern and Western Turkic, Tang, Wei, and Hexi Dao parties...

And this was not the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing thing was that later that day, they met again at Xia Lin's office without any prior arrangement.

Everyone saw this and thought, what a coincidence! Xia Lin didn't come out to meet them, and left them alone. Now everyone thought that the reason Xia Lin avoided them was because other colleagues came and interfered with Xia Lin's judgment. He was sitting there with his mouth full of honey...

"Marshal, the fight has begun!"

Xia Lin was taking a bath at the moment. He had finally had a day off, but it was ruined by these bastards. When he heard that they were fighting, Xia Lin didn't care. He just waved his hand and said, "Let them fight."

You know what, even though Fang Xuanling was a civil official, his fighting ability was pretty good. This group of people was a big melee of more than 20 people, and in the end he defeated the Hexi Jiedushi, the two Eastern and Western Turks, and that useless Wei waste, and successfully won the game.

"How about a civil official? I have mastered all the six arts of a gentleman!"

Fang Xuanling's left eye was so swollen that he couldn't open it, and his right arm was dislocated. He stood there like a battle-damaged version of the God of Death: "You still have more to practice!"

But now it was not a question of whether to practice or not. These old bones were already groaning on the ground, so they could only be dragged to the military medical room. Those who needed massage got massages, and those who needed bone setting got their bones set. The whole military medical room was filled with wailing, and it was even more lively than slaughtering pigs in the village during the New Year.

At this moment, Xia Lin was secretly looking in from the window outside. Zhuo Heng, who was standing next to him, asked in a low voice: "Brother, these are all famous people of the time, how could this happen?"

"Isn't this abnormal?" Xia Lin laughed. "Don't talk about now. We will fight the United Nations General Assembly in the next millennium."

"The United Nations? What is that?"

"Oh, it's useless. It's just representatives from countries around the world getting together to discuss how to resolve regional disputes."

"What good would that do?"

"It is still useful for small countries, and can decide life and death." Xia Lin curled his lips: "For big countries. Zhuo Heng, my senior brother told you that things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield will be a mystery at the negotiation table."
