Chapter 61 Stretch
Xu Liesheng was furious after suffering this secret loss, but he was also very impressed. He knew that the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty was extraordinary. If he could hurt someone with his eyes, he couldn't do it. He had to suppress his anger and asked Tang Dynasty. Chao said: "This must be His Majesty Li Longji's consort Tang Chao. He is indeed a good man."
He was originally a dignified and solemn person, but now when he smiles, there is a strange feeling in him.
"Grand Marshal, you are honored. I have met the Marshal," he said with a slight bow, a bit like the etiquette in the world.
Xu Liesheng's tiger-like eyes kept looking at Tang Chao for dozens of seconds, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes. How could this man's skin be so white, like milk?
But he immediately smiled: "Okay, Mr. Tang, I heard that you came to Guyuan this time to sign a non-aggression treaty with us and to borrow troops."
The Tang Dynasty immediately understood that this man had already learned about the situation in Anle Palace from the eunuch who delivered the message.
"Yes, I am very sincere. Marshal and the Yan family can see that. As the protector of Anxi, I have countless official duties under my command, but I still traveled thousands of miles to Guyuan just to express my gratitude to the Marshal and the Yan family. It shows that the Tang Dynasty has no intention of invading Turkic territory. The two countries have maintained stability for more than ten years, and I hope it can continue; at the same time, I came to Guyuan also to find out the reason why Xin Gan Xiao Khan left without saying goodbye, but I Don’t worry now, the young Khan has inherited the throne, please Marshal and Yan family think twice,”
After saying this, he pretended to leave. After all, what needed to be said was done, and all that was left was for the two of them to discuss how to treat the Tang Dynasty.
"Wait a minute," Xu Liesheng waved his hand to stop him from leaving, "Master Tang, we Turks are simple in nature and are not as clever as you Han people. Just tell me honestly, is it because you traveled thousands of miles to Guyuan? Your father-in-law Li Longji wanted you to stay in Beijing and be the prince-in-law, so he didn’t send any soldiers to you, which made you borrow troops from our country."
Tang Chao laughed: "The Yan family and the marshal asked, so I had to tell the truth. Yes, it is true. My father-in-law Li Longji didn't want me to go out to fight and kill. He was afraid that if something went wrong, his My youngest daughter has no husband, so she wants to find an excuse to demote me back. I am indeed in trouble now. I just defeated the horse thief Huo Shang in the Western Regions, and my strength is seriously damaged. Once I go to war with your country, it will definitely be very difficult, so I have done this I'm so prepared for defeat. I came to your country this time just to discuss non-aggression. Alright, Marshal and Yan, the truth you want most has been confirmed. What do you think?"
In these few words, Tang Chao spoke frankly, knowing that even if he concealed it, he would be exposed sooner or later, so it was better to face it directly.
"Very good, Marshal Tang. I really want to believe you, but it's a little strange. I heard that your troops in the Anxi Protector's Mansion are less than 10,000. Huo Shang and I fought against each other. Xiang You heard that he has at least 10,000 soldiers under his command. How can you defeat 30,000 horse thieves?" When Luo Lanyan heard this, he immediately admired Xu Liesheng's mind. Yes, if we believed in the Tang Dynasty and easily sent troops to attack, we might even be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty. How could we know that when the Tang Dynasty came to Guyuan this time, they were not implementing a strategy to lure the enemy deeper into the country.
She has always held the view that the Han people are very deceitful. She hates the beauties of the Han people even more deeply and wishes to kill them all.
The Tang Dynasty smiled leisurely and said: "A good general should be able to defeat the large with the small and the strong with the weak. In the past, Han Xin and Cao Cao were all like this. Although I am not as good as these wise men, I can compare myself to our Tang Dynasty." Li Jing during the founding of the People's Republic of China no longer dared to belittle himself."
A strong murderous intention rose on Xu Liesheng's face, not only because what Tang Chao said was very arrogant, but also because he mentioned Li Jing, a man who had killed the Turkic people in rivers of blood before, and who had always been the Turkic people. It hurts. I didn't expect that Tang Chao would compare himself to him. Obviously, in addition to showing off himself, there was also an element of threat.
He actually dared to threaten himself in the Turkic palace, showing his strong self-confidence. This made Xu Liesheng angry, but he immediately warned himself in his heart, if you believe this Han's words easily, then you are a fool. Well, hum, you said that you have great commanding ability and can defeat the powerful Huo Shang with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but Xin Qian clearly told us that he also dispatched 5,000 elite soldiers from Yanmen Pass. What this person said, The truth is hidden in the fake, he is a loach-like character, don't be deceived by him, maybe, he is deliberately showing weakness. When I think of this, with Xu Liesheng's cunningness, I immediately think, why is he deliberately showing weakness? After luring me to send troops to the Anxi Protectorate, he arranged an ambush so that I could be defeated in one fell swoop. Then he would make a big contribution to Li Longji. I heard that this guy had done a lot of credit in Lingnan before. It's entirely possible that it was a conspiracy; however, he gave me a lot of gold and silver for a beautiful woman, and it didn't look like a lie. Should I believe him?
In fact, the Turks had just changed to a new Khan. They were afraid that the other elders, especially Wang Sheng of the South Campus, would be investigated and cause trouble. Now it was not the right time to suddenly send troops to Anxi. It was better to sign a treaty first. People like him would naturally He knows when to advance and when to retreat, but he cannot agree too readily, otherwise it will appear that the Turks are afraid of the Anxi Protectorate.
He knew that if at other times, such as when Gao Xianzhi was around, he might have taken this opportunity to mobilize troops against the Turks. The Tang Dynasty was not a good bird. It had stationed nearly 100,000 troops in Anxi Tun to control the Silk Road. He acted as an international policeman everywhere and had a hand in everything. Fortunately, when the Khan was replaced, the Tang Dynasty also changed its guard.
In fact, the information about the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal from the Western Regions reached his ears very early, but they all scoffed and did not believe it at all. Even now, he does not believe that Li Longji would really be stupid enough to hand over the Silk Road to The principles of other countries, so when Huo Shang led the army to attack the Anxi Governor, he still stood still. He did not believe that there was such a thing as pie in the sky in this world.
Sure enough, Huo Shang was defeated and fled back to Huangfeng Mountain.
"Haha, Marshal Tang is such a bold young man. I admire him, and what he said makes sense. However, there is still a small test for me to agree to sign a non-aggression treaty," Xu Liesheng said with a smile.
"What test?" Tang Chao asked curiously, feeling that Xu Liesheng was indeed a talent. He seemed to have not heard him when he spoke so arrogantly, just like a clay figurine.
"Let's pull a wrench. If you can defeat me, I have no objection. If you can't win, then Marshal Qu Tang will be a guest in Turks for a long time, haha,"
The Tang Dynasty was shocked, this old dog was such a rogue, he actually wanted to detain me in the Turks.
No, no, the Tang Dynasty immediately rejected this idea. If they really wanted to detain me, how could they wrench with me? He knew that among the Turkic countries, they advocated force and when they disagreed with each other, they often raised wrench challenges. It was a bit like
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when they met each other, they held hands and stretched each other's martial arts skills. I hurt him with my eyes when they met just now, and spoke so arrogantly just now. Naturally, I had greatly offended him.
Naturally, he and Luo Lanyan had an affair, and he was frustrated in front of the woman he loved. If he didn't save face, he wouldn't be a man.
The Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, knowing that the method of stimulating generals had taken effect. This person wanted to wrench with me. He obviously had the idea of signing a contract in his heart, and then thwarted me during the wrench in order to maintain dignity in front of the Luolanlan family.
His senses at this time are extremely sensitive, and sometimes he can even know what the other person is thinking. This is what Confucianism calls "not seeing, not hearing, and avoiding danger."
Although the Tang Dynasty is still far away from the highest state of being able to avoid danger without seeing or hearing anything, the pores of the skin and the telepathy are already far beyond those of ordinary people.
"Okay," Tang Chao didn't want to waste a word.
Xu Liesheng didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would agree so readily. He knew that the Tang Dynasty's martial arts was powerful. Coming from Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty's hands must be extremely powerful. Martial arts is different from strength. Some people with small strength can easily defeat those with strong strength.
Just like a man using a spear, knife, and wild beast, he decided to use his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
Xiang knows that his strength is well-known among the Turkic countries. He can lift a cow with his bare hands, and he has been used to manipulating the Turks with a wrench since he was a child. As long as this kid accepts the conditions, he will be greatly humiliated in return.
The hatred that was frustrated just now, huh, if the Tang Dynasty does not agree, it will be much easier to negotiate the terms and regain the momentum.
Xu Liesheng sneered slightly and walked out first, saying, "Follow me. There is a bench in the side hall."
Luo Lanlan's face shone and she smiled at Tang Chao. She also wanted to see who was the hero among these two men.
Women like to watch men fight, and even more like them to fight for themselves.
Tang Chao sneered in his heart, hum, you want to see me make a fool of myself, that's not a joke, but he remained calm. He had already thought of a way to deal with it, but at the same time he understood the fact that Xu Liesheng could be so free in the palace.
The Yan family even specially set up a wrench socket for him, so the affair between the two of them was probably an open secret.
In the side hall, there is a half-person-high wrench seat with cowhide as a cushion on it. Some places on the top are very smooth. Apparently Xu Liesheng often wrenched people here.
When Tang Chao saw Xu Liesheng impatiently taking off his coat, exposing his sleeves, and smiled, he did the same thing. He didn't want to deceive the Luo Lanyan family.
His hands were crystal clear and white, not as strong and rough as Xu Liesheng's, but seemed to be weaker than a virgin's body.
When Luo Lanyu looked at him, it was like looking at a lamb to be slaughtered. As soon as Tang Chao's shoulders were exposed, a perfect young man's body appeared in front of Luo Lanyu, which finally impressed Luo Lanyu.
This woman has many hobbies.
----------------------------------
She had never seen a man like Tang Chao in her life, so she didn't want Tang Chao to be slaughtered and stopped him: "Master Tang, you are no match for Marshal Xu Liesheng. You just need to promise me that you will stay in the palace." If you stay with me for five days and teach me Chinese poetry and songs, I will agree to your request. You are a scholar by birth, but you cannot compete in martial arts. I will sign a treaty with you then, and I will see your performance and decide whether to borrow troops. Ten thousand for you,"
Tang Chao laughed, and immediately saw the heart of this Luolan Yan family. This woman was also a good person. When she saw a special man, she wanted to possess him, so he immediately rejected her: "Thank you, Mrs. Yan, but maybe I won't You might lose," he said with a smile.
Xu Liesheng was originally worried that the Yan family would fall in love with Tang Chao, but after hearing Tang Chao's words, a stone fell in his heart. He put one hand upright on the mat, with the muscles on his hand exposed, like pythons, and shouted: "Come on. Bar,"
