Chapter 632 Never retreat

"Western Turkic General Kang Ying pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

General Kang Ying still knows etiquette very well. Although he is a stickler for words in the Western Turks, when he saw Li Xiang, this guy still bent down obediently. Although he did not kneel down, but in diplomatic etiquette, This is already the highest in this era. If Li Xiang asks him to kneel down and worship, what should he do when he meets Li Shimin?

Mr. Zhao nodded slightly beside him, indicating that this courtesy was acceptable. If he couldn't bend down to this angle, it meant that the other party was provocative. The reason why Li Xiang brought Mr. Zhao here was because of these etiquettes. They don't know that if they give the wrong signal to the other party, then the entire Tang Dynasty will be lost. This is also the main reason why Mr. Zhao appears here.

"General, please rise."

Li Xiang said very coldly, there was not even a seat.

"Since the end of the last war, we have not had any disputes with you Western Turks. However, according to reports from my subordinates, you have had conflicts with our troops a few days ago. Is this true?"

Li Xiang took the initiative as soon as he came up and elaborated on several issues in just a few sentences. He first explained that you are the losers, and you also lost the last war. Then he talked about the conflict. Even if there is a conflict between the two of us, The war was started by you people and had nothing to do with us, the Tang Dynasty.

General Kang Ying is not just a leader. He is considered a capable person in the Western Turks. He will listen to his opinion on everything, including the Khan of the Western Turks. He also understood the meaning of Li Xiang's words. This responsibility He can't afford it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor's Grandson, there is actually another hidden reason behind this matter..."

At that time, the Tang army was mainly responsible for the dispute between the two armies. Both sides were patrolling along the border, but the Tang army suddenly crossed the border and rushed towards them. The Western Turk army made It is normal to have a defensive posture, but the Tang army believed that the Western Turkic army had offended them and wanted to take all these people away.

At that time, the Western Turkic army had no choice but to take up arms in order to protect themselves. In terms of casualties, the Western Turkic army suffered ten times more than those of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they were held accountable, it should be the Western Turkic people who were held accountable. Li Like now it's obvious that it's a rake.

"What you said is completely different from what I heard."

Li Xiang calmly let General Kang Ying finish speaking, but in the end he said this sentence. General Kang Ying was so anxious that he almost cried. It is obviously your people who are looking for trouble, how can you be so unreasonable?

Some people behind him were also quite angry. They thought Li Xiang had confused right and wrong, but thinking of the combat effectiveness of the Tang army that day, these people suppressed their anger again. They thought of what the general said when he came, you people. No one is allowed to speak. If anyone ruins this negotiation, the whole family will be killed when they return.

General Kang Ying still wanted to quibble, but seeing Li Xiang's frown, the guy could only swallow the rest of his words. If Li Xiang was made unhappy, a war would be inevitable.

People from various countries in the Western Region have also heard that Li Xiang is now like a lion. As long as someone dares to disobey his will, the country will disappear in an instant.

They don't know about other places, but Xue Yantuo and the others know it very well. In the past, they and Xue Yantuo also had frictions near the border. They also know Xue Yantuo's combat effectiveness very well. Such a seemingly relatively powerful country has lost power in less than half a year. Li Xiang's men were dealt with immediately. One can imagine the powerful fighting power of Li Xiang's men.

General Kang Ying tried his best to mediate his emotions and never get into an argument with Li Xiang. If there was a real argument, the Tang army would most likely march westward. Where could the Western Turks go? Should we continue running westward?

"This matter still needs to be investigated for the possible existence you mentioned. I came here this time not to argue with His Highness over these matters, but to shake hands with His Highness and make peace. The armies of both sides retreated to avoid similar things from happening. ."

General Kang Ying also knows that saying something like this means you are showing weakness. The two sides are clearly going against each other, but you take one step back. It should be said that you take three steps back. Then if they move forward, you can only choose Continued to regress.

Mr. Zhao and Niu Jinda were also puzzled, are your Western Region Allied Forces really weak to this level? If there really is a fight, especially on your territory, we may not be able to win. Even if we win such a victory in Gaochang, we dare not say that we can replicate it on your territory.

Niu Jinda is very clear. As a military general, he certainly knows how to win this time. We have been infiltrating Gaochang for half a year, and this is the result now. If the two sides had fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield, In a fight, there is no way to win in less than half a year.

This is still in the land of Gaochang. If the two sides really fight in the Western Region further west, it will not happen for half a year. It is very likely that the battle line will be stretched. By then, Datang will be trapped in the mud of this war. There is no benefit to Datang.

Therefore, General Kang Ying's concession made Niu Jinda find it incredible. Didn't you consider your own advantages before negotiating? Or are we just considering our advantages?

In the early years when we were negotiating in Tuyuhun, we still needed to talk about our advantages, but that time is no longer that time. Our advantages can be seen by everyone in the world, but their own advantages cannot be seen. Here we go, this is the butterfly effect brought about by great strength.

"Both sides retreat? I don't understand what the general said. Now there is unrest in Gaochang, including the border defense lines, which are all assisted by our Tang army. If we retreat, does this represent Gaochang? Should the country's national border also be pushed back? I'm afraid this is not something I can decide, as it is related to the territorial integrity of Gaochang."

Mr. Zhao applauded Li Xiang's words and praised him. He originally thought that Li Xiang was young and might suffer a disadvantage in diplomatic negotiations. However, after hearing Li Xiang's response plan, Mr. Zhao could only say that it is better to learn from others than to learn from others. This also means Even if we don't retreat, if we want to retreat, you can only retreat.
