Chapter 47 Advance Promise

Pei Min did not speak sternly or arrogantly. Instead, he chuckled, his voice was still very soft, as if he was talking about something trivial.

But this kind of light wind and clouds show even more arrogant and domineering, and the determination that must be taken.

Long Langchi and Aishet couldn't help but shivered when they heard this. A tragic scene seemed to appear in their minds. The corpse was covered with wildness and blood flowed into a river! The Tang army stepped on the bodies of Tubo soldiers and recovered their territory!

A strange feeling even emerged in Longlangchi's heart, thinking that perhaps the best choice was to agree to the Tang Dynasty's request.

Li Longji was originally angry about Long Langchi's shamelessness. He was about to scold him, but when Pei Min responded in a blunt manner, Su Chang was inexplicably awakened in his heart, and even couldn't help but think: Why can't I say such a majestic word?

Thinking of this, Li Longji also said: "I don't give up any inch of my territory in the Tang Dynasty! Even if you eat it with means, I will retake it from the Tang Dynasty and still have to get some interest."

Pei Min's words are bold words, but Li Longji's words are true.

As an emperor, he represents the Tang Dynasty.

The kings of the Tang Dynasty said this, and Long Langchi knew that the Tang Dynasty was bound to win the revenge of the Jiuqu land in Hexi. If he continued, he sighed helplessly: "That's true, then the foreign minister will say goodbye. After returning to Tubo, he will tell Zanpu about the request of His Majesty the Emperor. What will be decided by Zanpu to make the final conclusion."

"Welcome to the good news!" Li Longji said openly.

Pei Min interrupted at this time, "The messenger wants to leave, there is no need to rush. It is not too late to attend the celebration and leave."

Long Langchi said in surprise: "Zhongyuan Festival? That can't wait for that long!"

The culture of the Tang Dynasty influenced the world, and even if many countries refused to accept it, it could not change the facts.

The three major festivals of the Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival and the Lower Yuan Festival were not only valued by the Tang Dynasty, but also by the affected Tubo.

Apart from the Zhongyuan Festival after more than a month, Long Langchi couldn't imagine any celebration worthy of Pei Min's statement.

"No, it's tomorrow!" Pei Min said carelessly: "It's a celebration for the prisoner!"

“…”

In an instant, Long Langchi had the urge to hit people, which was too bullying. Let him participate in the Tubo envoy's prisoner celebration? He really couldn't afford to lose face!

However, Pei Min's words reminded Long Langchi of the serious business.

Originally, they planned to seek peace with the Tang Dynasty and request forgiveness from the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty agreed to seek peace, the return of prisoners would be no problem, and the wishful thinking was a jingling sound.

Human power in ancient times was priceless, especially in Tubo today.

In recent years, several major wars that Tubo has fought ended in failure. Not only did they not make any profit by plundering, they also lost a lot. The war horses, cattle and sheep suffered heavy losses and the fiscal deficit was needless to say.

The morale of the Tubo people was also greatly affected, and people were panicked, which hurt the national system, which was also one of the reasons why they decided to seek peace.

Nearly 30,000 prisoners were still brave soldiers. If they were asked back, they could make up for the losses they suffered to the greatest extent.

But the tough attitude of the Tang Dynasty was unexpected.

"I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor treats our warriors?" Long Langchi said piously.

Li Longji said: "Don't worry, my Tang Dynasty is not as arrogant as you Tubo, and treats them as animals. Now the Tang Dynasty is in ruins and there are many places that can be used for labor. I will transfer them to the south of the Yangtze River, maintain the canal, clear the mud, and sell my Tang Dynasty to atone for my sins. Twenty years later, I will return them to their freedom."

The highest level of doing business is to not let your opponent know your intention to interact with him.

As the emperor, Li Longji did not understand the key point.

Pei Min knew very well and communicated with Li Longji in advance, asking him not to reveal the meaning of the transaction in advance.

Long Langchi was speechless again when he heard it. Twenty years later, he lived in the Tang Dynasty for twenty years. Even if he had not changed his mind and had not died, what else could he do when he returned to Tubo?

"Where is the veteran general Di Dayan!" Long Langchi asked again.

Li Longji said without hesitation: "Of course it is the same. As one of the culprits, his crime is even more serious. He cannot return to Tubo in less than forty years."

Di Dayan is 61 years old this year, and in forty years, he will be 100 years old. As a veteran who has been in the army for nearly fifty years, he has been injured countless times and his lifespan is greatly reduced. How can he live to be 100 years old?

Longlangchi bowed deeply to Li Longji and said, "The old general is old and hopes that the kind Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can forgive him. We are willing to offer three BMWs, five hundred military horses, and three thousand cattle and sheep to express our gratitude."

Li Longji shook his head and said, "General Di Dayan has been fighting against our Tang Dynasty for 30 years since the fifty years. He must not be forgiven. As for others, he can discuss it."

Long Langchi said goodbye to leave because he knew his intention. He could not make a decision on this in-depth transaction and needed to send someone back to Tubo and discuss with Zanpu before he could make a conclusion.

"Happy, happy!" Li Longji said with a smile after Long Langchi walked away. It was a long time since I saw the Tubo people speak in such a humble voice.

Pei Min took the opportunity to advise: "As long as Your Majesty keeps working hard to govern the world, the main focus is on governing the world. I believe that in ten or twenty years, not only Tubo will be so humble, but even the Western Fufeng, the Great Food Kingdom will bow to your feet. At that time, Your Majesty will give orders and congratulate all nations. How majestic it is."

Li Longji was even more happy when he heard this, and his longing expression appeared in his eyes, as if he was also looking forward to the arrival of that day.

After a while, Li Longji recalled it and said, "If there really is one day, I and Jingyuan will share the glory together." As he said, he laughed and said, "Jingyuan's words today are really majestic! They just reveal our thoughts on plotting against Jiuqu in Hexi early. They will definitely take strict precautions and are difficult to take action."

Pei Min smiled strangely and said, "I am setting a trap for them! The purpose is to make them think that our next move is the Jiuqu area of ​​Hexi, so as to neglect the prevention of a certain place!"

Li Longji had no idea about military affairs, but he knew the thorns on his vest. He grinned and pointed at Pei Min and said, "It's hard to guard against it. Tian Xing Jingyuan was born in the Tang Dynasty to serve me. Otherwise, I will be unable to sleep or eat!"

Pei Min said humbly: "Your Majesty has been too rewarded. I just expressed my intention to take the Jiuqu land of Hexi, and never said when to take it. They thought it was so clever, but it had nothing to do with me."

Li Longji suddenly looked at Pei Min with a solemn expression and said, "I promise you a benefit first! If you can really recover the land of Jiuqu in Hexi for me, I will give you the title of Jiedushi."

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Pei Min was overjoyed. The Jiedushi was a real chief official, commanding the troops and horses of several states.

It can be said that the Jiedushi is the highest honor for a general.
