Negotiations between countries are a very cumbersome matter, and they definitely happen more than once or twice.
The two countries must attack or defend step by step in the endless quarrels and scoldings, break down each other's psychological defenses bit by bit, and finally achieve the interests that their own countries need.
This is the case with Li Qinzai and Princess Honghua.
The two of them are actually envoys, each representing their own country.
Let’s talk, you scold me, I will give you the middle finger, you wish my family wealth, I pray to God to bury you quickly...
After finishing the conversation, talk about business, continue to greet each other's family and friends during the intermission, and then continue to talk about business.
Li Qinzai didn't know how other people negotiated. It was said that there had been many powerful negotiators from ancient times to the present, such as Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Zhuge Liang, etc. They talked elegantly and often quoted scriptures to quarrel with other scholars.
Li Qinzai couldn't do it. On the one hand, his cultural level was limited. On the other hand, the other party was a woman in her forties, so she really couldn't argue with her.
However, in the alternative field of threats and swearing, Li Qinzai feels that he is still capable of fighting.
No, Princess Honghua's eyes were red and she was almost crying because of herself.
The mother-in-law, who is in her forties, had a drink with him in the Juyi Hall yesterday, holding fists and calling each other brother, but today she was in tears, and the visual gap was a bit big.
"Your Highness, you are the envoy on behalf of Noboha Khan. You must be strong." Li Qinzai sincerely advised.
It's so boring to cry in the middle of an argument. You can change players and continue the argument. Crying is a shameful behavior.
"Get out!" Brother Honghua roared loudly, wiped his eyes fiercely, the tears were gone, and he was returning to Lan.
Li Qinzai asked tentatively: "How about... let's fight again tomorrow?"
"Don't even think about it. Let's explain the matter clearly today. Your general has just set off and there is still time to change the military order. Is there any use waiting until tomorrow?" Princess Honghua said angrily.
Li Qinzai smiled: "Your Highness, please speak first."
Princess Honghua gritted her teeth for a long time and said coldly: "We can't get 10,000 cattle, sheep and war horses. Five thousand cattle, five thousand sheep, and five thousand war horses. I will write to the Khan right away." , ask him to send it to Liangzhou City immediately."
"There is no need to discuss the matter of moving to Liangzhou City. Li Qinzai, you are the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Don't bully others too much. It will not be good for the Tang Dynasty if you add insult to injury to Tuyuhun."
"Tuyuhun has destroyed the country. There is no buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. You will have to face the threat of Tibet for the next hundred years. Are you sure this is in the interest of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Qinzai glanced at her in surprise.
Gua Po-niang is no longer stupid. She speaks very clearly and logically.
It's a pity that the elbows are still turned outwards. In this era, a woman's position can really only be with her husband's family. This is a helpless rule.
Gua Po Niang, who is so organized, is not easy to mess with. We must fight again next time. When your opponent is in good condition, the right way is to avoid his edge. Choose a time when she is confused to talk about business, so that you can frighten her into a daze.
"Let's leave it at that for the cattle, sheep, and horses. We can put the matter of moving to Liangzhou City on hold for the time being."
"Your Highness, I really have good intentions. I really can't bear that the Khan and His Highness would fall into the hands of the Tubo people and suffer humiliation and torture. At least the Tang Dynasty was very kind and kind to the Khan and His Highness, right?" Li Qinzai said with a smile. .
Princess Honghua gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"
Li Qinzai clapped his hands and called a sergeant from the governor's office, saying: "Hurry out of the city and catch up with the soldiers of the Imperial Army. Pass on our military orders. After entering Tuyuhun, you can engage in battle with Tubo and help Nuohebo Khan retreat. Go quickly. !”
The officer clasped his fists, turned around and ran away quickly.
Li Qinzai smiled at Princess Honghua again and said: "Your Highness, I will keep my word. As Your Highness wishes, our Tang soldiers will have their first battlefield confrontation with Tibet."
Princess Honghua's expression relaxed at this moment, she nodded and said arrogantly: "In this case, I would like to thank County Uncle Li on behalf of Khan Nuohebo."
Li Qinzai stood up and said with a smile: "I respectfully send Her Royal Highness the Princess back to the hotel to rest."
"You don't need to send it!"
"If you don't want to send cattle or sheep..."
"Li Qinzai, if I have the chance to return to Chang'an, I will fight in front of the Emperor and your life will be worse than death!"
"...We also need to add cattle and sheep."
…………
After galloping all day, Sun Congdong and his generals finally arrived at the front line of the battle between the two countries west of Jishi Mountain.
As soon as he entered the war zone, he was stopped by Tuyuhun troops. After Sun Congdong showed his identity, he was led directly to Nuohebo Khan by Tuyuhun soldiers.
Nohobo Khan is a greasy middle-aged man in his fifties.
His greasiness is not about telling dirty jokes and dishing out skewers, he is greasy in the literal sense. The nomadic people are not good at farming and mainly eat meat such as cattle and sheep. If they eat too much meat, their faces will have a layer of oily smell, which looks like a suckling pig just out of the oven. It is so shiny that it makes you want to cut it.
Nuobo Khan was extremely surprised by the arrival of the Tang Dynasty King. He was naive and thought that the Tang army was sincerely coming to help him fight against Tibet.
When friends come, they are treated to fine wine and, of course, beef and mutton.
Sun Congdong and Liu Asi were both shameless and did not come to help sincerely, but this did not stop them from eating and drinking, and they did not feel guilty at all.
Of course, Nuobo Khan was also a little disappointed because Tang Jun's starting lineup was too small.
But it doesn't matter, the Tang army's willingness to send troops is an attitude, and this is what Nuohebo Khan needs.
After the first dispatch of troops, there will inevitably be a second and third time. Tuyuhun's pressure from Tibet will slowly be transferred to the Tang Dynasty, and the Khanate will be able to save it.
Observing this army carefully, Nuohebo Khan discovered that in addition to the necessary horizontal knives, hooks and sickles, and arrows and crossbows required by the Tang army, each of them also carried a long, strange weapon with three holes, and each person also carried a strange weapon with three holes on his waist. The bulging bag carried a sheepskin bag, and I didn't know what was inside.
Probably because the suzerain country is full of love for the vassal country.
The curious Nuohebo Khan asked about this strange weapon during the banquet. Sun Congdong and Liu Asi just smiled and talked about it, saying that the Khan would know after the war with Tibet tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the soldiers of the Tang Army, who had high hopes from Nuohebo Khan, set off to the front line west of Jishi Mountain after a good meal.
Khan swept away the decadence and despair of many days. When he got up this morning, he was not only cute, but also full of ambition. He strongly expressed his willingness to go to the front line with the Tang Army soldiers. Khan would personally beat the drum to cheer for the Tang Army soldiers.
The war horses were galloping, and thousands of Tuyuhun horses were surrounded by more than a thousand Tang army soldiers. After more than an hour, they arrived on a plain to the west of Jishi Mountain.
Seven or eight miles away, there is the Tubo camp with banners blocking out the sun.
The Tubo people had already lined up and were waiting. Before the two armies took action, the desolate horn horns were already wailing.
