The envoys sent by the Tibetan Zanpu crossbow were their "all-weaving controls". This is an official name, second only to the big and small treatises in Tibet, which is equivalent to the "capital protection" of the Great Zhou, and he is in charge of the external affairs of Tibet.

Since he is an envoy, he must be able to speak Chinese fluently.

After seeing Xue Shao, the envoy behaved very respectfully. He first expressed his admiration for Xue Shao, then conveyed Zampu's gratitude and condolences, and then gave him a generous gift of gold and jewelry.

"Your envoy has embarrassed me." Xue Shao said bluntly, "If I don't accept this gift, it will be disrespectful to Zampu." If I take it, I will be taking a bribe. ”

The envoy just smiled, "This is Zampu's personal gift to Xue Shuai, and it must be harmless." ”

"The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water." Xue Shao said with a smile, "I have received some of Zampu's kindness, but such a valuable gift is not necessary. When the envoy goes back, I would like to ask the envoy to bring a little tea to Zampu and talk about Xue's intentions. ”

Xue Shao said so, and the envoy couldn't insist anymore, so he had to give up.

It's not that Xue Shao has to flaunt his integrity. There is a way to take people's hands short, and the envoys of Tibet come here with a request, how can they take his benefits first, and fall into disadvantage at the beginning?

The envoys of Tubo obviously came prepared, and after the failure of the bribe, they came up with another plan, saying: "I don't know if Xue Shuai, has he been in contact with His Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty recently?" ”

"Yes!" Xue Shao replied very simply, "When I am out on the expedition, I often need to report the battle situation to the imperial court. ”

"And what about other than that?" The envoy asked.

"It's gone!" Xue Shao spread his hands and looked natural, "Otherwise, what else can there be?" ”

The envoy's expression changed slightly, "Didn't Her Majesty the Empress tell Xue Shuai that our dynasty has already sent an envoy to the Divine Capital to reconcile with the Great Zhou?" ”

"The Empress didn't tell me, but I know a thing or two." Xue Shao said, "Otherwise, I won't agree to Zampu to jointly send troops to attack the Garqin Mausoleum!" ”

The envoy blinked, "Since the two dynasties have reconciled with the alliance, is Xue Shuai considering withdrawing his soldiers and horses from Qinghai and Dafeichuan?" ”

Xue Shao's face turned straight, "What is the reason?" ”

The envoy's face also changed, and he said: "Qinghai and Dafeichuan are both the territory of our dynasty. Xue Shuai forcibly took it away like this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? ”

"Your Excellency, what you said is not right." Xue Shaozheng said, "The art of war is cloudy, and the generals will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside." As the commander of the three armed forces, my duty is to lead the troops to fight. The enemy I want to deal with is Garqinling, who occupies my Taozhou and attacks my Liangzhou, and kills my soldiers to seize my territory. Once the defeat turned into victory, it was reasonable for Xue to counterattack, right? ”

"In the military army, this is indeed reasonable." The envoy hurriedly said, "But! ……”

Xue Shao immediately interrupted him: "I'm just a general, and I only take care of the military in my part. Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan are the old nests of the Garqin Mausoleum, and it is a matter of course for me to attack them, as for who will kill the deer, it depends on the individual's ability. Now you have to touch your upper and lower lips lightly, and you have to send them back. How do I account for the 100,000 soldiers under my command? This is all their military exploits with a knife and a gun, fighting with blood and life, what qualifications do I have to advocate and give it to others? ”

"But since the two countries have made peace, they should not encroach on each other's territory. This is the least sincerity, right? The envoy said, "Xue Shuai did this, didn't it make it difficult for the empress and Zampu, and cast a shadow on the peace between the two countries?" ”

"Are you threatening me?" Xue Shao's eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't mean that." The envoy was not surprised, but said, "To tell the truth, this is exactly the truth." ”

Xue Shao smiled. He stood up and walked over to the envoy and said, "Of course it's a good thing that the two countries are in peace. But so far, Xue has not received any letter from the imperial court, saying that the war between the Great Zhou and Tubo has ended. There was no such order for me to withdraw from Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan. Your envoy, you should know the rules of our court, as a general who commands the army abroad, how can I have the authority to claim on the front line without authorization and give up thousands of miles of territory? This is a military matter, how can I, a general, decide for myself? ”

The envoy of Tubo took a deep breath, "According to this, if there is no order from the Empress of the Great Zhou, Xue Shuai does not plan to give up Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan?" ”

Xue Shao pursed his lips, "This is not my plan. This is a very serious matter of principle. ”

"Xue Shuai, you are pretending to be confused!" The envoy said: "Actually, what's the point of this, Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan will be returned to us sooner or later." Why did Xue Shuai take the risk of offending Zampu? ”

"He's not my Zampu!" Xue Shao smiled, "I am the general of the Great Zhou, of course I only recognize the empress's orders." If your Zan Pu is angry, and I, Xue, obediently surrender thousands of miles of territory, then what is the difference between me and a traitor? Will I still be able to live after I return to the court? - Compared to the two, I'd rather Zampu hate me. ”

The envoy took a deep breath again, "Xue Shuai is so insincere, so it seems that the matter of Dafeichuan and Qinghai Lake is nothing to talk about?" ”

"There's nothing to talk about." Xue Shao said, "Zampu should send someone to the Shendu to talk to our court." Xue has said many times, I am just a general, how can I be the master of this kind of thing? Doesn't that force us to have an unpleasant scene? ”

"Okay, let's leave that behind for now." The envoy continued, "Then, should you return to us the defected Gar Gongren and the five thousand rebels he brought out?" ”

Xue Shao laughed again, "What's the reason for this?" ”

The envoy was obviously holding back his anger, and said calmly: "Gar Gongren is a traitor general of my court, of course we must bring him back to be punished. ”

"Didn't you already cut off the official position and fiefdom of the Garqin Mausoleum, and wiped out the Gar family? Since then, there has been no such person as Gar Gongren on the plateau. Xue Shao said, "He is now a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has nothing to do with Tubo." He didn't even have the surname Gar anymore, and had to change his name to Non Gongren - note, this is an authentic Han Chinese name. What do you use now to prove that he is a Tibetan? ”

"This! ......" the envoy was so angry that he was speechless, "Gar Gongren is the son of Garqinling, born and raised on the plateau, this is an ironclad fact. Can this still be changed? ”

"Proof?" Xue Shao stretched out his hand at him, "There is no Gar family on the plateau, but you can show me a little proof?" ”

"Xue Shuai......" The envoy took another deep breath and said seriously, "Your willful sophistry will not benefit the relationship between the two countries at all. ”

Xue Shaoting smiled speechlessly, "Your Honor, it seems that there is something that you still haven't figured out after all." ”

"What?"

"I'm a general!!" Xue Shao said loudly, "The general is used to kill people, not to please anyone!" Whether you want people or land, you should go to God and talk to our court. Xue is in the army, and he can only give an answer from the position of a general. If you have to be strong......"

"How?" The envoy asked, with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I'll grab it myself!" Xue Shao spread his hands, "Anyway, the two countries have not yet made a formal peace alliance." ”

"Xue Shuai, you made such a rash decision, maybe you will regret it." The envoy said, "Zampu has treated Xue Shuai with courtesy!" ”

"I've also expressed my gratitude and kindness." Xue Shao said calmly, "Gifts, please bring them back." Xue's reply, please also take it back. Neither old nor new grudges between me and Zampu are. But the public is public, and the private is private, and this must be clearly distinguished. ”

"In that case, I'm going to take my leave!"

The envoy of Tibet just left.

Lou Shide had been watching Xue Shao and the envoy confront each other, and at this time, cold sweat came down, "Xue Shuai, is this really appropriate?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just going to get it straight. Xue Shao said, "Let me hand over Qinghai Lake Dafeichuan and Gongren, unless you kill me first." But if I don't pay it now, Tubo will definitely take the trouble to come to me and ask for it frequently. Now I'll give him a chance, and if he has the ability, he will snatch it back himself. If you don't have the ability, shut up obediently from now on, and don't be blind to me again! ”

Lou Shide was really stunned, "Blind...... Forced? ”

"Pass my orders!" Xue Shao Douran shouted, "All arms for war!" ”

"Yes!!"

In the camp of Qinghai Lake, it was boiling all of a sudden. The armoured horses were saddled, the flags were erected, the drums and horns were sounding, and the smoke and dust from the soldiers and horses were like rolling angry waves, almost covering the entire Qinghai Lake.

Xue Shao's order soon reached Dafeichuan, and Heiya Changzhi also took action. At this time, he also received a fresh army, Niu Ben, who had just come from Lingzhou, led three thousand Tuoqi cavalry to step into the dust.

Niu Ben originally wanted to find Xue Shao, but it was too far to go from Lingzhou to Qinghai Lake, and he had to cross the Qilian Mountains. So he came to Dafeichuan recently, and just happened to meet the black tooth Changzhi and began to vigorously prepare for the war. So Niu Ben happily stayed together, wanting to be a pioneer under the command of Black Tooth Chang.

Seeing that he only had one arm, Blacktooth hesitated.

Niu Ben laughed, turned over and mounted his horse, and tied the reins of the horse to his mutilated left arm. Then he lifted the huge mace with one arm in his right hand, and galloped his horse into a flutter. If you go down with a stick, if a large boulder used to practice prying, he will be smashed alive!

The generals who saw the black tooth Changzhi and the full camp were dumbfounded, and called the gods!

Niu Ben turned over and dismounted and threw the iron rod, and strode forward to say to the Black Tooth Chang: "General Black Tooth, I have lost half of my left arm, and I am practicing my right arm hard every day. Now my right arm has the strength of a thousand catties, not to mention the previous two arms! I also learned how to use a knife with my mother-in-law, and when I was tired of the iron rod, I would change my waist knife, and I could fight for another hour or two! ――Can anyone under the command of the general dare to compete with a certain sword technique? ”

"No, no!" Hei Tooth Changzhi expressed his shock with a wry smile, "General, it's really a heavenly general!" ”.
