Tanli nodded slightly and looked around cautiously: "Hesijia, Father Khan has been completely trapped and cannot make a rational judgment at all, and you and I cannot just watch the Turkic Empire be completely destroyed. We will not return to the West again." Mainland, the foundation of our ancestors is about to be dug up by aliens!"
Hesijia frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"
Tanli replied: "I want to have a good talk with Li Jiangyao, as you said, and ask him to give him a way out, stop fighting, stop bleeding, and let us leave here peacefully."
Hesijia looked at Tanli in confusion: "Aren't you afraid that Father Khan will punish you for doing this? And why are you telling me this?"
"Because I need your help!" Stanley blurted out.
"My help? I am a little girl with no soldiers and no power. How can I help you?"
Tanli shook his head: "My good sister, you are either really confused, or you are deliberately pretending to be confused with your second brother. In this kind of negotiation, what is the use of having soldiers and power? The most important thing is influence! Do you think I Don’t you know? I went to Metasequoia City to pick you up on Father Khan’s order. I only met Li Jiangyao once and I already knew very well, what kind of hostage are you? It was obviously you who teamed up with them to deceive Father Khan. And the big fool Yun Qianxue!"
When Tanli revealed the truth, Hesijia couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Since my second brother saw everything, why didn't he tell Father Han and Yun Jun about it?"
Tanli chuckled: "Hey, am I that kind of person? To harm my own sister for myself? Of course my second brother will not tear you down."
Hesijia put away her smile and asked: "How do you want me to help you? You know, no matter what, I am the princess of the Turkic Empire, and my influence on Li Jiangyao is probably not as great as you think."
"It doesn't have a big impact on Li Jiangyao, but it has a big impact on Xu Youchang, right?" Tanli said with a proud smile.
"You! Shameless!" Hesijia blushed and glared at Tanli fiercely: "The relationship between me and Xu Youchang is pure friends. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will leave immediately! "
Seeing that she was really angry, Tanli quickly relented: "Okay, okay, second brother just said the wrong thing, I apologize to you. As for me, I actually don't have any ill intentions, and I also know that you are very loyal to Yun Qianxue. And Xu Youchang, He really likes you, and it’s not an ulterior scandal. Hesijia, what I mean is that for everyone’s sake, maybe Xu Youchang can come forward to persuade Li Jiangyao to show mercy to the Turks. "
"Now you know how to show mercy?" Hesijia sneered: "When you massacred the Shengtang and Xijiang people before, why didn't you consider showing mercy?"
"Don't come after me." Tanli said aggrievedly: "Go and find out. In the past six or seven years, apart from your husband Yun Qianxue's troops, my 11th Army Corps has the best morale. There is nothing wrong with it." Even though we fought life and death against the Shengtang army, we didn’t do much harm to ordinary people.”
Hesijia didn't want to get involved with him, so she snorted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you need me to do? Tell me calmly."
Tanley solemnly said: "It's very simple. I need you to write two letters and then give me a token."
Hesijia was slightly startled: "I can understand writing letters, one to Li Jiangyao and one to Xu Youchang. Why do you want a token?"
"It's also for Xu Youchang," Tanli said, licking his face, "I'm so infatuated with you, so I'd like to leave you in my thoughts."
Hesijia was going to call Tanley shameless again, but then she thought about it and took back the words that came to her lips. Xu Youchang's simple and honest appearance had already appeared in her heart.
"Well, I'll go back and prepare it. When it's ready, I'll send someone to deliver it to you."
After saying that, Hesijia flew on her horse and drove away.
Three days later, Tanli led the 11th Army to advance towards Lanzhou.
Seriously, this is the Golden Wolf Army's fourth expedition to the west. They had suffered a lot in Zijin Pass three times before, and they didn't know what their fate would be this time.
As they shouldered Ashina's urgent order, Tanli and the others did not delay at all on the road. Soon, the army arrived at the Lanzhou front line. As soon as he arrived at the place, the second Turkic prince left the matter of defense change and handover to his subordinates. He held up his butt and went straight to the Zhenjiang Army camp thirty miles away.
Xu Youchang, who was taking command here, was a little surprised when he heard that Tanli had come in person.
He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to meet this "old friend".
"Your Highness, long time no see. Now you and I are facing each other with armies. I don't know, Your Highness..."
Before Xu Youchang's diplomatic rhetoric was finished, Tanli said directly: "My sister wrote you a letter and asked me to bring it to you."
"..."
"There is also a personal token, also for you."
"Bring it to me quickly!"
While Xu Youchang ordered someone to pour tea for Tanli's audience, he read Hesijia's letter carefully. After a long time, he folded the letter carefully, put it in his arms, and asked calmly: "Do you really want to negotiate peace?"
Tanli smiled: "General Xu may not believe my words. But you should believe my sister's words, right?"
Xu Youchang stared at Tanli with a burning gaze and smiled casually: "I'm sorry, military and national affairs are important and cannot allow Xu to consider the love of his children. Your Highness, please go back. Our army will launch a general offensive tomorrow and we are willing to show off with the Golden Wolf Army. "
As soon as these words came out, Tanley was immediately petrified on the spot.
This... this is too much, right?
"General Xu, please wait a moment," Tanli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
Xu Youchang shook his head and said calmly: "You still want to play delaying tactics with us until today's situation, so I have no choice but to use blood and fire to wake up the Khan of your country."
Tanli said anxiously: "Didn't Hesijia make it clear to you in the letter? I came to negotiate peace sincerely, unlike my father Khan and the others!"
Xu Youchang still looked calm and calm: "Her Royal Highness the Princess did make it clear and expressed her willingness to guarantee your sincerity in negotiations. However, our Protector Li also said that all negotiations are in vain. The Turks will never shed tears until they see the coffin. It can’t be changed.”
"What the Protector said is too absolute. I am an alien among the Turks." Tanli said unwillingly: "I admit that Father Khan wants me to hold you back, but I don't think so myself. General Xu , if you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, it’s because of my sister’s affection, you should let me meet the Great Protector first before talking about it.”
Xu Youchang asked doubtfully: "I hear you mean, do you want to have peace talks with us alone?"
"That's right!" Tanli slapped his thigh: "I thought about it before leaving the imperial capital. The 11th Legion of the Golden Tribe requested to negotiate peace with the Zhenjiang Army alone! If the conditions are favorable, I can even win over Yun Qianxue's blood. Together with the Guards Cavalry Corps!"
Xu Youchang's expression gradually became serious: "Prince Tanli, there is no joking in front of the two armies. You should be very clear that doing this means you will betray the Turkic Empire and your father. Am I right to understand this?"
Tanli also looked serious: "General Xu, I want to betray my father Khan, but not the Turkic Empire. On the contrary, I am trying every means to save it. Gema has returned to the Western Continent, and the Persians and Arabs have also They are all ready to make a move. It is my responsibility to lead the Turkic warriors back to their homeland and defend their homeland!"
Xu Youchang thought seriously for a moment and asked: "What other troops do you have in the direction of Lanzhou?"
Tanli replied word for word: "Except for the Golden Wolf Army I brought, the others will soon go east. In other words, as long as I succeed in negotiating with you, they will leave immediately."
"Okay, for Hesijia's sake, I am willing to give you a chance." Xu Youchang said solemnly: "You go to Zijin Pass, the Great Protector is there. Within ten days, I will not touch your Golden Wolf Army. A hair on my head."
"Thank you very much," Tanli quickly stood up and handed over his hands: "General Xu is indeed a hero. I only hate that I only have one sister, otherwise I would really like to marry you."
Tanli, who spoke unreliably, said goodbye to Xu Youchang, and with the passage token given by him and the liaison officer of the Zhenjiang Army accompanying him, he once again set foot on the road to the west, rushing to Zijin Pass in a dusty journey.
Li Jiangyao received Xu Youchang's eight-hundred-mile urgent Pegasus message in advance, and learned about Tanli's thoughts in advance. He couldn't help but be equally surprised:
This second Turkic prince is so cruel, he can even betray his own father? !
The two finally met at Zijin Pass, and Tanli didn't delay. He made his feelings clear as soon as they met.
Li Jiangyao said curiously: "Your Highness, we can be called old friends. When it comes to friendship, it can only be said to be so-so. You plotted against me and I plotted against you. But fortunately, you and I have never been Really break up and make a grudge. Tell me honestly, do you really know what you are doing now?"
Tanli nodded: "Sir, of course I know what I am doing, otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled all this way."
Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "Have you ever thought about it? If I really agree to your request and let you and the Golden Wolf Army return to the Turks, Lanzhou will be completely lost. Even Tianshui, Baoji, and Hanzhong will be in danger. Your father Khan As a result, he will end up in a disastrous defeat, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops will be buried with him."
Tanli was silent for a moment, and suddenly he sighed: "Daduhu, you should ask a different question. If I don't do this, will my father Khan's ending be good? Can hundreds of thousands of Eastern Expedition troops return to the West safely? Mainland?"
Li Jiangyao looked at him silently and shook his head gently.
Tanli smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, we had a hope of winning. Father Khan was a talented man who took advantage of the contradictions within your Holy Tang Dynasty and easily occupied the Ghost Desert in Western Xinjiang. He also successfully conquered the imperial capital and forced the Holy Tang Emperor to death. . Wherever the soldiers pass, they are invincible. Not to mention Prince Li Bing, millions of soldiers, let alone Xie Guang, Li Kuang, Lao Jianhua and the like, in our eyes, they are nothing!"
"Until...you and the Zhenjiang Army appeared, everything was over."
