Chapter 255 The only way out

Li Xiang walked around here and shook his head from time to time. Every time Li Xiang shook his head, Prime Minister Midu felt like he was pinched in his heart. Why are you shaking your head? Speak up and let us know.

In fact, Prime Minister Midu and Tuguhun Khan did not realize that their thoughts had begun to follow Li Xiang. This was a very scary thing for the top leaders of a country.

"I thought about it carefully. Even if we are honest with each other and do everything as I say, we don't have enough time to send troops to support you. Let's see if there are some other ways to delay it for us. Just a moment.”

Li Xiang wandered around here for five minutes. In fact, he didn't think about anything. He just made some body movements to make you people nervous. Now he is waiting for you to say it yourself.

Delaying time?

"Your Highness, I heard that Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan is in Chang'an. Can I find him?"

Prime Minister Midu suddenly thought of this matter. He guessed that Li Xiang's hurrying to the grassland must be related to Lu Dongzan, but he couldn't guess what it was related to. After all, he was not Guanyin Bodhisattva. There's no way to put a finger on it.

"The reason why I came to the grassland is because of him. I believe you can also find out that he wants to join forces with our Tang Dynasty in the court and then destroy you Tuyuhun. This is the main reason why he came to Chang'an."

There is no need to hide this kind of thing, it will be spread out soon. As for the following things, as long as Li Shimin blocks it properly, no one will spread it.

"ah……"

Li Xiang looked at the two people in front of him in surprise. It was understandable that Prime Minister Midu screamed. After all, he was the highest-ranking person in Tuyuhun. What was going on with the old guard next to him?

Li Xiang suddenly remembered that he had watched a TV series, The Deer and the Cauldron played by Hong Kong actor Jordan Chan. At that time, he went to Wu Sangui's palace and was talking to Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong. Wu Sangui pretended to be an old guard. Could it be that in front of him? Is this the same?

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Li Xiang will not expose this person. If it is really Tyuhun Khan, it would be better, and it would save the Prime Minister Midu to go back and spread the word.

"But don't worry, our Tang Dynasty did not agree to their proposal. We hope that all countries can coexist peacefully. If there are fewer and fewer countries, it will not be good for this society. What's more, your two countries have just concluded an agreement. How could we attack you? But there are some restless people in our country, and they have already begun to contact Lu Dongzan..."

Slap a sweet date and slap a sweet date. Li Xiang has understood this routine. On the one hand, he tells you that the court has not made a decision yet, and on the other hand, it also tells you that there are people in the court who want to do this. After all, Many people in the Tang Dynasty have thoughts about this grassland. Especially after the northern grassland was auctioned, many people calculated their operating profits here. If the southern grassland can still be divided into a piece, then something will happen. My son is even happier.

"Your Highness, you must think about your own sake. The Tubo people are like tigers and wolves. If you were to directly border with them, there would definitely be more border conflicts than with us. Isn't the current situation the best?"

Prime Minister Midu now wants to die. Although he guessed that there was something wrong with Lu Dong's praise of the Tang Dynasty, he did not expect it to be like this. Now that there are tigers in front of us and wolves in the back, Tuyuhun is really gone. Any ideas anymore.

"Don't worry about Datang's affairs for now. I can hold them down for you first. You have to think about how to resist the Tibetans. The Tubo army is about to cross the border."

Li Xiang saw that Prime Minister Midu was about to abandon the conversation and moved back quickly. Only by putting pressure on you can you think of the only way to save you, which is to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

"this……"

Prime Minister Midu didn't know what to say for a moment. Now it was clear that it was a dead end. The Tang Dynasty could not support them, and it could not resist the Tibetan attack with its own strength. How could they persevere?

"It's a pity that the Tubo people are not Turks. If they were Turks, my reputation in the Tang Dynasty alone could make these people retreat thirty miles..."

Li Xiang saw that these two guys were not thinking about that, so he could only remind them a little bit in desperation. He also hoped that these two guys could take the right path, and follow the right path of Li Xiang.

Datang’s fame?

Prime Minister Midu did not hear other words, but only heard these words. Looking at the world, the only thing that can scare Tubo is the Tang Empire in the north. But now that the Tang Empire cannot support them, then the Tang Empire Is his reputation useless in Tubo?

No, many countries in the world looked up to the Tang Dynasty, and they also sent batches of envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Tubo Kingdom said it didn't care, didn't your prime minister also go to Chang'an to pay tribute?

There are also many countries that honor Li Shimin as Heavenly Khan...

Prime Minister Midu's eyes lit up. He seemed to have found a way to save Tuyuhun, but now he had to obtain the Khan's consent. This matter was bigger than the last time. If he made the decision without authorization, the consequences would be disastrous.

Prime Minister Midu casually found an excuse, saying that he wanted to take a rest. Li Xiang also knew that the two of them needed to discuss it and see through it without telling it, so that we could continue to get along, otherwise we would fall out immediately.

"A vassal state?"

Li Xiang's hearing was amazing. He couldn't hear other words clearly, but he still heard these three words clearly. They were said by Tuyuhun Khan. It was probably Prime Minister Midu who made a suggestion, but Tuyuhun Khan was a little reluctant. , but Li Xiang doesn't care. As long as you go down this road and I give you a certain amount of time, you will definitely know what choice to make.

It is certainly a shameful thing to be a vassal and pay tribute to others, and it is very likely to be recorded in the history books, and you will never be able to stand up again, but it can save your country and your current life of prosperity and wealth. Li Xiang knew that these nobles were used to living a good life and were not willing to be prisoners. As long as they were given enough time to think, they would naturally understand what choice to make.

Li Xiang observed the faces of the two people and saw Tuguhun Khan nodded heavily, and he felt relieved.

But there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance...
