329. Do dirty work
Jingwen heard that Li Shimin actually agreed, and also sent two envoys to negotiate with the Turks, which was simply unbelievable, so Jingwen blurted out for a while that the emperor was confused. This situation is really surprising, it looks like the Turks are about to be wiped out, but the emperor actually plays this game, doesn't this make all the previous battles in vain? Moreover, once the Turks regained their vitality, would the Tang Dynasty still be able to defeat them? Now Datang is actually just a surprise to the other party, so the Turks suffered a big loss for a while. And if you don't take advantage of the current situation to destroy the Turks in one go, then there will be endless troubles! But Emperor Li Shimin actually sent people to negotiate, didn't this mobilize forces for the Turks and make a prepared retreat?
"Are there some fools in the court talking nonsense there? That's why the emperor agreed? Jingwen asked.
Li Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know, we are all on the front line, how can we know what is in the imperial court?" So, I don't know what's going on this time, the emperor actually sent an envoy to negotiate with the Turks, wanting to annex it. But fools know the ambitions of the Turkic wolf son, how can they be attached? I don't know who came up with the idea! ”
When Jingwen was depressed, he suddenly thought of something.
"General Li Jing, the emperor doesn't have any secret decrees?" Jingwen asked.
Li Jing asked, "What secret purpose?" ”
"That is, did the emperor secretly give you any orders? Let's repair the plank road in the dark? Jingwen asked.
"Nope!" Li Jing said.
Jingwen immediately asked tentatively: "General Li Jing, you are a little unauthentic!" The emperor has a secret decree for you, just say that we can obey the emperor's orders! Our Snow Shame Army is not a disobedient person, as long as the emperor has an order, we will obey it. The Turkic wolf is ambitious, how could the emperor fall for the scheme? Therefore, the emperor must have given you a secret decree. Got you ready for battle, right? ”
Li Jing said sternly: "There is really no secret purpose? The emperor didn't send anything, and I don't know what the emperor thinks! ”
Jingwen also asked seriously: "Is there really no secret purpose?" ”
"Not really!" Li Jing said.
"It's weird!" Jingwen complained.
According to Li Shimin's level, there should be no such mistake! If it is said that Li Shimin wants to paralyze the Turks, then the other side can prepare to attack, which can also be said to be the emperor's strategy. But in this way, the emperor should explain to the main generals of the front, so that they can be prepared to attack the Turks at any time! But now that Li Jing, the commander of the three armies, has not received any news, it seems that there is really no secret purpose. But now that Jing Wenyuan is on the front line, it is naturally impossible to know what Emperor Li Shimin thinks. There are many contradictions in the current qiē. Jingwen can't see through it. Is it possible for the emperor to really dream of beauty and suddenly realize that he surrendered and attached?
Li Jing then spoke: "Actually, we don't care what the emperor means, we still do our thing." ”
"What do you mean?" Jingwen asked.
"What I mean is that we can continue to fight us, but we can't attack directly because we are already negotiating. However, if our envoy can't reach the Turkic Iron Mountain, then there is no way to talk about it? Li Jing said.
Jingwen didn't understand the meaning of Li Jing's words, and asked, "General Li." What do you mean by this? ”
"It's not interesting, do you remember how the Turks treated you when you were on an envoy to the Turks?" Li Jing said.
"They're sending someone to intercept me!" Jingwen said.
Li Jing suddenly said, "Then they won't intercept and kill our envoy this time?" ”
"Impossible! The last time I went to the Turks, it wasn't Jieli who wanted to intercept me. It's Princess Yoshisei. That time was to provoke a war between us and the Turks, which the Turks could not afford. But now that the Turks are at a disadvantage, and they don't want to continue the war, how can they possibly intercept and kill our envoys? Jingwen said.
But. Li Jing suddenly said: "Yes, they will repeat their old tricks, and they will definitely intercept and kill our Tang envoys." ”
Jingwen didn't know. What kind of medicine is sold in this Li Jing gourd?
"You give me a way to let the Turks kidnap my envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but we also have to ensure the absolute safety of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, you have to let the Turks hijack the envoys, but you can't threaten our envoys of the Tang Dynasty. As for how to do it, you can see for yourself. Li Jing said.
Jing Wenma appealed: "How can we do this? The Turks are not our subordinates, how can they listen to us to hijack our envoys, and still have to ensure absolute security. Unless, unless we pretend to be Turks. ”
Originally, Jingwen just complained about his grievances, but Li Jing said: "I didn't say anything, this is what you said!" As for what to do, that's your business. ”
"Eight Ge Yalu drops, it turned out that I was asked to help with the dirty work!" Jing Wen scolded in his heart.
Jingwen understood that Li Jing had his subordinates pretend to be Turks to kidnap the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty. Once the envoys are hijacked, there will naturally be no peace negotiations, and they will continue to fight. However, Li Jing was unwilling to send his subordinates to hijack him, but let Jingwen District do this "dirty work".
The so-called dirty work originally refers to those jobs that are not clean and unhygienic. But later, some people extended it into the realm of politics, that is, it refers to those dirty and unsightly things in politics. And those who help those politicians to do such unseemly things are called dirty people. Isn't this kind of hijacking of the envoys he sent out just a dirty job? This kind of thing is unseemly, and it can't be said. Once you say it, it will be ruined, and you will have no future, but you will have to worry about your life. Li Jing was reluctant to do it, so he pushed it to Jingwen, but why was Jingwen willing to do it?
"General Li, I don't understand what you mean?" Jingwen pretended to be stupid and said, obviously he wanted to shirk the task.
"Jingwen, you were guilty of slandering the army just now, if you don't do it, then I will ask the emperor to give me the festival and behead you, a person who has violated military law, on the spot!" Li Jing said sternly.
Feeling Li Jing's faint murderous aura, it was obvious that Jingwen knew that Li Jing was serious about this matter. Originally, although Li Shimin often said that he was going to cut off Jingwen's head, Li Shimin was not murderous at that time, and it was not true. But Li Jing had a murderous aura this time, and it seemed that it was a real threat, so Jingwen had to bow his head. (To be continued......)
