Chapter 500 Bank of the Weishui River ([-])

Wei Zheng's words are actually very simple. Since he has enjoyed the benefits of being an emperor, he must bear the hardships of being an emperor.Risks and benefits coexist, if Yunhao is here, he will be stunned.Wei Zheng, more than 2000 years ago, has already made the most exquisite exposition of the philosophical thoughts researched by many masters in later generations.

Li Er still appeared on the bank of the Wei River, and the bridge was still the temporary bridge with traces of gunpowder smoke.But the scene is very different.Here is Li Er leading Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other six people.On the other side of the Weishui River, the Turkic Khan Jieli led an army of tens of thousands.

The corpses on the ground were cleaned up, and even the bloodstains were carefully covered up.But the scorched black on the bridge and the large pits one after another on the ground cannot be covered up no matter what.There are only these things to tell the two sides of the negotiation how tragic a battle took place here.

The Turkic people lined up on the north bank of the Wei River, and countless banners seemed to spread to the horizon.The Turkic warrior in leather armor looks like a winding yellow dragon.Jieli led two servants and stood still facing Li Er ostentatiously on horseback.

"Jieli Khan, after the Battle of Lanzhou, you seem to have signed a covenant with me, Tang Dynasty, and the two sides will never attack each other. Now that the ink is still wet, you personally led an army to the city of Chang'an. This does not seem to be a Khan answer Have some credit!" Li Er shouted, pulling his neck at a distance of more than a hundred steps.

"King Qin! Oh no, you should be called His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty now. I, Jieli, made an alliance with you, the Tang Dynasty, but where is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time? You killed your brother and imprisoned me, Jieli. Li’s friend, your father. Han people pay attention to justice, but there is no one in Han who can give justice to your father and brothers. Then let me, a Turk, give them justice!”

Jieli obviously did his homework and packaged his invasion as Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji to seek justice.He said it so righteously, as if it was really the case.

Li Er's face darkened immediately, the matter of Xuanwu Sect was his backlash.No one in the Tang Dynasty dared to mention this taboo topic in the Tang Dynasty, and Xieli actually said it in public.Li Er's anger value has reached a new height.

But Li Er is Li Er after all, and he traveled all over the world when he was the boss.Now the strength is not as good as others, and the kung fu of benevolence and forbearance can be regarded as a masterpiece.

Gritting his teeth and enduring Xieli's ridicule, Li Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Jieli Khan, I don't need you to worry about the family affairs of my Li family. Just the day before yesterday, [-] troops under your command were buried at the Weishui Bridge. If you don't take your people out of the Tang Dynasty, I will tell you in a responsible manner. Your team that stretches for dozens of miles will soon end up with the [-] army."

"Li Shimin, you only rely on gunpowder to be sharp. Don't you think that I, the Turkic warriors, can't be scared. As long as I give an order, the Turks can take Chang'an now!"

"Hahaha! If that's the case, you will talk to me here? Jieli, don't be devious. What you want, say it. If I can give you, I will give it to you. It's not because I'm afraid of you , but want to give you a step.

Why do you want to give you a step, just want to make a covenant between us.Let Datang and Turks truly avoid each other.You Turks are very difficult now, and we in Tang Dynasty also need to cultivate our health and rest.This is in the interests of both of us, but if you want to fight, I, Li Shimin, will accompany you to the end.

You have already seen the power of gunpowder. Last winter, you could not defeat Lanzhou City with 30 people.Now that you have 10,000+ people, how dare you attack Chang'an?Forget it, Xieli!Let them shake hands and make peace, and bring peace to your people and mine.how? "

Li Er was impatient to continue talking nonsense with Jie Li, and it would be the best policy to let him retreat early.There must be Turkic spies in Chang'an City, if they know that the Tang army is now out of gunpowder.Those who wait for Datang will be doomed.

"Peace is a good thing. If possible, Ben Khan would not want to fight with each other. Tell me, what is the step you gave Ben Khan. If this step is enough for Ben Khan to stand firm, my army will immediately withdraw from the land of Datang .” Jieli nodded, bargaining is the focus of today.It's not the kind of verbal confrontation just now!
"There is still some surplus in the Tang government treasury, and I allocated 50 guan to Khan. This is the step I gave to Khan, how about it?" It seems that Li Er is also a good businessman, and he insisted on reducing his bottom line by half.

"50 guan, Li Shimin, are you being too stingy? I, Jieli, am not begging for food. Just 50 guan, and I'm dismissed?" Jieli curled his lips, quite disdainful of the number Li Er proposed.

"Then how much did you say?"

"One million guan is the same price! As long as you give 100 million guan, I will withdraw immediately. And I assure you, I will not take the initiative to attack Datang in the future." Xie Li made some calculations, and immediately gave his own Blackmail price.

"One million guan! Jieli, you really are a lion. Do you know that the annual tax of the Tang Dynasty is only 100 million guan. Now that last year's tax has been exhausted, this year's tax has not yet been confiscated. If you don't accept it, I won't accept it. Even if you have 200 million guan, it is impossible to give you all of them. 100 guan, it is impossible to have more.”

"One person makes one step, how about 80?"

"70 guan, no more. Otherwise, we can only fight each other." Li Er gave the final price.

Fang Xuanling's chin was about to fall off his feet, it's too damn f*cking.The top leaders of the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are like two vendors in the vegetable market.Under the watchful eye of 10,000+ pairs of eyes, it's just such a blatant bargaining.

"70 guan! Deal! Send the money to my camp before noon tomorrow. I will retreat immediately!" Xie Li made some calculations, and finally agreed to the amount proposed by Li Er.

"Okay! A word from a gentleman!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Fang Xuanling let out a long breath of relief, and finally the conversation came to an end.Chang'an City was saved now, although it lost 70 guan.But the maximum limit given by the Ministry of Household Affairs is 100 million guan, and now 30 guan has been saved.This winter's expenses can be a little richer.

To be honest, if the army fights in Chang'an.The money and food lost must have exceeded 100 million guan, Yunhao's round of bombardment the day before yesterday.After the calculation, I threw out a full 30 yuan.This is not fighting, this is throwing money.The [-] Turkic soldiers were not so much killed by the bombing as they were smashed to death by copper coins.

Jie Li's men brought out a white horse, and Li Er and Jie Li urged the horses to come together.After killing the white horse, he dipped his hands in the horse's blood and smeared it on his face.Then piously swear to heaven that the two families will never violate each other in the future.

Of course, keeping this oath does not keep it.It depends on the strength of both parties, not these stupid vows.

When following Li Er back to the city, Fang Xuanling realized that Li Er's back was soaked.Today, only one link went wrong, and the six people were doomed.Fang Xuanling even secretly brought two grenades, just because he didn't want to die in too much pain.But when he saw His Majesty the Emperor also took out two grenades from his arms.Only then did Fang Xuanling know that the emperor actually thought so too.

As a business partner, Xieli is pretty good.At least take the money and do things, and 70 yuan was sent to the Turkic military camp at noon.In the afternoon, Jieli headed back to the grassland.

This is actually because he is afraid of beating wolves with a stick, and Xieli is afraid of the firearms of Datang's army.Li Er, who is weak, is afraid that Xie Li will see through his weak nature.When neither side had the will to war, peace came irresistibly.

All the nobles in Chang'an City heaved a long sigh of relief.This battle was not fought after all, and the family was kept in the fief outside the city.Those Zhuangzi in other courtyards were also kept.The most important thing is to keep the farmers from being plundered by the Turks.There is no Zhuangzi of the Zhuanghu, so the **** can be called Zhuangzi?
All the people received rewards, but Yun Hao refused again.The emperor had no choice but to reward Yunhao's old lady.Mrs. Zhao, who has been a woman all her life, never thought that she would become a dignified wife of the imperial court.

Even Yuan'er and Xin'er, who were very low in status, became the fourth-rank imperial order.In the capital, I don't know how many good families and beautiful family members are envious to death.

The guys who followed Li Er to Weishui to negotiate were all rewarded.Gao Shilian was granted the title of Xu Guogong, and the fief increased by two hundred hectares.The number of households in Shiyi has increased by [-], and it seems that the eldest grandson also played a role here.After all, the eldest grandson brothers and sisters grew up in their uncle Gao Shilian's house since they were young.

Fang Xuanling Jin made Liang Guogong, and conferred the title of Minister Zuo Pushe and Sikong.In order to show His Majesty's favor, Li Er gave Fang Xuanling two beauties in the palace in front of civil and military officials at the celebration banquet.Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling enviously, the beauty bestowed by the emperor must be the most beautiful in the world.

I don't know if it's the beauty in the world, the banquet is not over yet.The sturdy Mrs. Fang entered the Taiji Palace, crying and calling for the emperor to take the beauty back.And he said angrily that his family doesn't need Xiaosan Xiaosi.As soon as two women came into the house, she committed suicide and so on.

"Mr. Lu! How long have you ever taken back what I gave you? As a big woman, you are so jealous. Don't you think I can't take care of your women's affairs?" Li Er was rejected, and he very angry.It can be seen from his cloudy face that dripping water can be seen. Those who are familiar with the emperor know that this is the precursor of His Majesty's outbreak.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to take it back, but the little lady will die to show her will." Mrs. Fang knelt down with her neck stuck, which was considered to be a fight with the emperor.

"Want to die? Okay! Come here, bring me a bowl of poisoned wine. I don't respect my will, as long as you drink this bowl of poisoned wine, I will take my life back."

The waiter came out with a bowl of dark brown stuff, the pungent smell of which could be smelled from afar.The officials all covered their noses, many of them had some friendship with Fang Xuanling, or the Lu family all turned their heads away, not wanting to see this miserable scene.

Lu's name is worthy of the name of a shrew, she has no fear in the face of a bowl of poisoned wine.As soon as the servant brought it to his eyes, Mrs. Lu snatched it and drank it down.Li Er was dumbfounded, he didn't expect there to be such a jealous woman who is not afraid of death in this world.

"It's so sour!" Just as people were hiding their faces and couldn't bear to watch, Lu Shi who drank a bowl of poisoned wine said two words with a bitter face.

"That's a bowl of vinegar, how could I really give you the poisoned wine. Forget it! I take it back!" Li Er sighed helplessly, as if he was admitting defeat.
