In the afternoon, the Turkic military camp was surprisingly hot.

Qin Tian sat in the Ao bag and fanned his fan while drinking wine.

Of course, wine is not a good wine, but in this case, it is good to be able to drink alcohol.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Iron Bull looked left and right and sighed.

"Master Hou, when is this kind of day a head, I knew it was so boring, so let me go to Jingzhou City and let Hu Shibai follow you, didn't he want to follow you."

Iron Bull's patience is not as good as Hu Eighteen.

Hu Eighteen's temper is relatively better, when he was beaten, he didn't fight back, it can be seen that if he was replaced by an iron bull, those little guys at that time were afraid that they would be torn to pieces.

Qin Tian smiled: "Don't worry, there should be news from Jingzhou soon, today or tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Tie Niu continued to wait patiently.

In the big tent in the army, Jieli Khan asked, "Then Qin Tian hasn't thought about it yet?" ”

"Your Majesty Khan, Qin Tian didn't think about it well, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he either drank wine and ate meat every day, or chanted poems against him, many of our soldiers were homesick after listening to his poems."

Hearing this, Jieli Khan snorted: "This Qin Tian is really hateful, relying on a little talent, he is here to bewitch the soldiers of our army." ”

Jieli Khan has never looked down on literati very much, but what Qin Tian has done in the past few days has made him discover that the power of literati is sometimes really powerful.

The officers and men in the army are homesick and war-weary, and this battle will definitely not be fought, but what we need to do now is to obtain more benefits as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty Khan, or agree with Qin Tian, anyway, those two are face-saving matters, and they are not beneficial to our interests."

"Yes, real money is the most important thing, and that's what we want."

"Women, just grab it from somewhere else."

“…………”

The tribal leaders were also a little impatient to wait at this time, and wanted to get the benefits back as soon as possible, after all, the longer they delayed here, the heavier the Tang army's slaughter on the grassland would be, and at that time, they didn't know how many people would be killed or injured.

As everyone spoke, Jieli Khan frowned slightly, and said, "What do you know? Let the Tang Dynasty be a vassal to my Turks, which is much more important than those actual interests, and this is a matter of my Turkic face. ”

As he spoke, Jieli Khan snorted and said, "Let's go, go see Qin Tian." ”

Jieli Khan led people to Qin Tian's Ao Bao again, and the hot weather made them a little stuffy after entering.

"Qin Tian, have you thought about it, do you want to agree to my previous request?" Jieli Khan asked, his attitude was still arrogant, and some eyes were empty.

Qin Tian shook the folding fan and smiled faintly: "I'm afraid Jieli Khan hasn't figured out the situation yet, since that's the case, it's better to wait." ”

"You ......"

Jieli Khan was a little impatient, he didn't expect Qin Tian to be in no hurry at all.

"Okay, you Qin Tian, if you don't agree, tomorrow, Ben Khan will lead his troops across the river and fight to the death with your Tang Dynasty."

Qin Tian smiled lightly: "If you fight, then you will fight!" ”

If you fight, then you will fight, Qin Tian said casually, as if he didn't take this seriously at all, but when the leaders of the Turkic tribes heard it, they trembled.

How confident do you have to be to say such a thing?

They had no intention of fighting again, but when they heard this again, they became more and more retired, but even so, they didn't show it, Jieli Khan was angry, and they couldn't kill Qin Tian immediately.

However, at this time, a guard hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty Khan, there is news here. ”

"Say!"

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it here?" ”

"Right here." Jieli Khan was very angry.

The guard didn't dare to hesitate, so he could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty Khan, there is news from Lingzhou, the Tang army fought with our army, our army was defeated, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. ”

After the guard finished speaking, the air in the entire Ao bag suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, unable to believe that this was true.

There are a lot of soldiers and horses in Lingzhou City, and they have lost 30,000, so how many are they left, and the Turkic troops are not known how much weaker.

Stubbornly lost his strength to contain the Tang army outside Jingzhou City, why was the whole army annihilated, and he was captured alive?

Stubborn and unconscious, but they are the fierce generals of the Turks, who can capture him alive in the Tang Dynasty?

Shock, fear, and all kinds of thoughts came, making Jieli Khan's whole head swell a little.

Now, he finally understood why Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and only then did he understand what Qin Tian meant in those words before, it turned out that their Tang Dynasty had already laid out everything, and if they didn't retreat, they would directly hit their Turkic vitality and suffer a big injury, and then they would be in a slump.

Jieli Khan felt an unprecedented pressure.

If this war starts, the Turkic vitality will be greatly injured and the matter will be small, and whether he can keep the position of the khan will be a big matter.

If he loses troops here, even if he can return to the steppe alive, how many troops do he have available, and the leaders of the Turkic tribes will still listen to him?

Although he unified the steppe, it is basically impossible to say that the leaders of the Turkic tribes are loyal to him, but I am afraid that the leaders of many tribes want to replace him.

Only by bringing these soldiers and horses back will those tribal leaders not dare to act rashly.

He knew that Datang had won, and Datang could afford to lose, but he couldn't afford to lose.

The sweltering weather continued, and Jieli Khan glared at Qin Tian, who was still shaking the folding fan, as if he had expected this result.

"Has His Majesty Khan figured it out?"

Qin Tian asked lightly, Jieli Khan's eyebrows were solemn, and after a while, he turned around to leave: "Continue to negotiate!" ”

Although Jieli Khan didn't say anything, just these four words meant that he agreed with what Qin Tian said before, removing the first and fifth items on the list.

In other words, the Tang Dynasty did not have to be a vassal to the Turks, and when the Turks left, they could not take any of the people of the Tang Dynasty with them.

Jieli Khan returned to the big tent in the army, Qin Tian's side, showed a light smile, then stood up, looked at Tie Niu, and said, "Let's go, this war is going to end." ”

Qin Tian is already familiar with the various clauses on the list, as long as the first and fifth clauses can be removed, the others can be more or less acceptable, what he needs to do is to reduce the losses for Datang as much as possible, and this is no longer difficult after the two news just came.

Of course, Qin Tian knows better that even if it is not difficult, in this battle, Datang's losses are not small, and paying tribute every year will make Datang's treasury even more empty.

But there is no way to do it, and on the premise that you can't afford a big war, you can only sacrifice money in order to make a comeback in the future.
