"My Lord Prime Minister, this man is a general of your Tuyuhun. If I were to take action, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. It seems that my Lord Prime Minister hasn't thought it through. In that case, let him go into battle. Tomorrow I will send troops to Tuyuhun. I will fight him to the death on the battlefield, and then I will take his head openly."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, General Qin Qiong understood what he meant. He had known for a long time that Li Xiang was a bad boy, but he didn't expect him to be so bad.
You want Prime Minister Midu to kill Zhe Duoji and let your own people kill each other. This is the greatest weapon to destroy you. When your soldiers see this scene, they will definitely be even more chilled.
Zhe Duoji also came from a big tribe, but Prime Minister Midu killed him. This was a path to civil strife. The two major tribes must have hated each other. Of course, this is all a story for the future.
"Drag him down and chop him up for me."
Prime Minister Midu stamped his feet fiercely and finally issued the order. Although he was extremely reluctant, he saw that Li Xiang was about to mount his horse. If these two returned, war would break out tomorrow. The Tang Dynasty was as powerful as an ox and could naturally afford such a war, but Tuyuhun was already riddled with holes. How could they afford it? Compared to the safety of the entire Tuyuhun, Zhe Duoji was truly insignificant.
Zhe Duoji couldn't believe his ears. Usually, Prime Minister Midu took good care of her and thought she was a rising star. He didn't expect that she would be killed personally today. Such a gap was unbearable for him. Unfortunately, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister..."
The soldiers under his command did not move, but knelt in front of Prime Minister Midu. These people usually admired General Zheduoji very much, but now they were asked to kill the general with a knife, they really couldn't do it. This was the eagle on their grassland. If they killed all the eagles on the grassland, would there be any hope for our grassland?
"kill!!!"
Prime Minister Midu didn't even look at these people. He was an extremely rational man. Based on the current intelligence, the Tang Dynasty was not willing to negotiate at all and might take this opportunity to restart the war. Therefore, he could not find any excuse for the Tang Dynasty. As long as Zhe Duoji was killed, then His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson would have no excuse to start a war, and both sides could return to the negotiating table again.
In front of all the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the general did not spit out the rag in his mouth until his death. The soldiers under Prime Minister Midu were quite obedient and went up to chop off the guy's head.
"Your Highness..."
Prime Minister Midu said painfully that he should be satisfied at last. The Eagle of the Grassland died just like that. He did not die on the battlefield against the Tang Dynasty, but died in a meeting to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty. This had to be said to be a great irony. The Tuyuhun soldiers in the distance clenched their fists, but when these people saw the Tang Dynasty army with flags flying in the north, and thought about what had happened on the grassland in the past few days, they suddenly felt powerless all over.
"Your Highness, since this man has been brought to justice, should we stop for a moment?"
If someone has to play the bad guy, someone else has to play the good guy. Li Xiang needed a way out at this time, and General Qin Qiong handed him one at the right time.
"I will take a short rest and will be back in an incense stick of time."
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Prime Minister Midu felt relieved. What he feared most was that after all the people were killed, Li Xiang still took his men back to Liangzhou City. In that case, he would be left with nothing and would have to face the punishment of the Khan after returning.
In fact, Li Xiang did not need this incense stick of time. This incense stick of time was given to Prime Minister Midu. At this moment, Prime Minister Midu was a little excited and couldn't figure out many problems. If negotiations were to begin under such circumstances, it would not be of any benefit to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xiang also realized that Prime Minister Midu was a relatively rational person. For the safety of Tuyuhun, he could sacrifice anyone, so you have to give this guy some time to regain his sanity. The more rational this guy is, the more the Tang Dynasty can get.
"Could you have told me in advance? You just did something risky and scared me to death."
After returning to his own camp, General Qin Qiong no longer concealed the fact that the situation just now was indeed a great opportunity. If he played it well, he could hit the morale of Tuyuhun and boost the morale of our Tang Dynasty. But if he played it poorly, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Then I have no choice. We are pretending to be going to war. If the other side shows up and shows up with a little bastard, if we don't kill him, then we might be exposed. My great eldest grandson has been insulted like this. If we don't take his life, people will think that our Tang Dynasty has no confidence."
What Li Xiang said was right. We were very resistant to negotiations from the very beginning. If we continued the negotiations under the circumstances just now, Prime Minister Midu was extremely smart and could easily see the problem. If this old fox could see it, then all our previous preparations would be useless. This would mean failure at the last minute, so this scene had to be performed.
"I shouldn't have followed you out to negotiate. I should have let Old Cheng come out. I'm terrified right now. After we get back to Chang'an, send someone to get me thirty kilograms of Tang Tian Niang. It has to be the best kind. Just to calm me down."
General Qin Qiong said unhappily that it was fortunate that this guy was a quiet person. If he had found someone who talked a lot, he would have been exposed at any time.
Seeing that an incense stick of time passed quickly, the two sides returned to the negotiation table again. General Qin Qiong admired Li Xiang from the bottom of his heart. He was only fourteen years old this year, but he had taken everything into consideration. Prime Minister Midu was extremely excited just now, and that state was indeed not suitable for negotiation. Now, within an incense stick of time, Prime Minister Midu recovered as before.
"Prime Minister, I've just given this careful consideration, and I deeply admire your sincerity. While I can't dissuade my royal grandfather from his desire for all-out war, I'm willing to listen to your terms and try my best to persuade him to avoid this war. However, I can't guarantee anything, as the armies of the Tang Dynasty are gathering towards Liangzhou City. I can only do my humble part to help the people of both countries avoid this disaster."
When Li Xiang said this, his eyes were so sincere that General Qin Qiong next to him was almost moved.
