Chapter 532 The Three-Country Talks (Part 2)
Li Qinzai's superficial task was mediation. Although everyone knew that mediation was basically useless, at least the superficial effort must be done to lay the groundwork for future force intervention.
However, the Tubo envoy Lun Zhongcong said accusing the Tang Dynasty of intervening in the war between the two countries, which made Li Qinzai feel a little unhappy.
Also ask for reasons?
There is no need to find any reason. Datang intervenes if he wants to intervene. What?
Although Tubo was not a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had never been fought.
As early as the Zhenguan period, before Tubo Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought in Songzhou, and Tubo was defeated.
那次战争的理由有点搞笑,原因是松赞干布向李世民求娶大唐公主,李世民拒绝了,松赞干布气坏了,于是一咬牙一跺脚,我揍吐谷浑!
The confused Khan of Tuyuhun, a Khan, suffered a disaster from the sky, was beaten up by Tubo for some reason. Khan was so scared that he ran away overnight and ran to the Qinghai Lake for vacation.
Songtsen Gampo then sent an envoy to ask Li Shimin for marriage. Li Shimin was so amused and refused, so Songtsen Gampo beat Tuyuhun again.
或许揍过几次后,松赞干布也醒过味来了,不对呀,大唐拒绝和亲,我揍吐谷浑有啥用?
Finally, Songtsen Gampo finally found the main man and decided to invade Songzhou, Datang.
So the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought fiercely in Songzhou City, and Tubo was defeated and retreated to the country.
I don’t know if Songtsen Gampo was the princess. The Tang Dynasty King’s Army won the victory and the Tubo envoy came to Chang’an again with a shameless face. Yes, I still want to seek a marriage tribute. This time I asked for a marriage tribute as a loser.
Anyway, no matter how the war wins and loses, he is determined to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can persuade him to do anything.
The Tang Dynasty won Songtsen Gampo on the battlefield, and Li Shimin had all the face, so he agreed happily this time, and asked Princess Wencheng to marry Songtsen Gampo of Tubo.
The grudges, love and hatred between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Tuyuhun and the Three Kingdoms over the years are simply like a bloody triangular affair, and the tragic role played by Tuyuhun is even more pity for me.

This time, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms gathered together. Lun Zhongcong and Princess Honghua looked at each other and wanted to swallow each other alive. Only Li Qin was calm and composed.
"I am here to mediate the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun under the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo has launched an unrighteous army and suddenly attacked Tuyuhun. The Tang Dynasty cannot sit idly by."
"Since you are here on behalf of the Tubo Grand Prime Minister, please tell the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the Grand Prime Minister, quickly withdraw the troops and return the occupied land to Tuyuhun." Li Qinzai said seriously.
Lun Zhongcong shook his head and said, "I can't agree. Tuyuhun snakes and rats often attack Tubo. Not only that, he also slaughtered Tubo herders and plundered women and children. I, Tubo Zanpu and Dalian, endured it again and could not bear it anymore, so I launched this battle against Tuyuhun."
"If you want to discuss the truth, how can you ask what to say about this truth? I, Tubo, are the victims of this war."
Princess Honghua was so angry that she slapped the table and slapped the Tubo: "Nothing nonsense! Did Tuyuhun plunder and slaughter Tubo? It was obvious that you were unrighteous, but you found such a ridiculous excuse."
Ren Zhongcong closed his eyes and said calmly: "There is a public opinion on right and wrong. It is absolutely impossible for Tubo to withdraw his troops."
Li Qinzai stared at his face and said, "Tuyuhun and Datang depend on each other, and the Tang Dynasty will not sit idly and watch Tubo indulge Tuyuhun."
Lun Zhongcong opened his eyes and said, "Does the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty go to war with Tubo? Haha, as far as I know, the northern part of the Tang Dynasty was drought this year, and all the country's food and grass relief was provided to the north. If you want to start a war, it will be difficult to support it?"
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "Run Zhongcong, right? You are so annoying now that you are so arrogant and fearless."
Lun Zhongcong smiled: "You and I are all their masters. The noble envoy hates me, which means that I am very competent in planning for Tubo, but I am very glorious."
"Tubo plans to completely annex Tuyuhun?" Li Qinzai asked suddenly.
Lu Zhongcong hesitated for a moment,
"Since the two countries have an irreconcilable feud, if they can annex, of course they will annex."
"Aren't you afraid of the Tang Dynasty sending troops?"
"The Tang Dynasty is afraid it will not be able to send troops this year. If Tubo has occupied Tuyuhun by next year, the troops will be arranged calmly. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really wants to start a war, Tubo will not be afraid."
Li Qinzai suddenly said: "A few days ago, after the battle of Jishishan, my Tang Dynasty's more than a thousand royal troops could shake the Tubo central army. What do you say?"
Lun Zhongcong was shocked, and then his face immediately became ugly.
Since the war in Jishishan, the two countries have not dared to fight again, because of the more than a thousand Tang troops, to be precise, because of the strange weapons in the hands of the more than a thousand Tang troops.
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Dongzan is willing to send a delegation to Liangzhou for negotiations.
After all, the strength of the battlefield determines everything. Only after the Tang army made a debut in this war and showed the two countries strong force, did the two countries sit down and chat calmly.
The Tang Dynasty also had the qualifications to intervene and mediate the war between the two countries.
"The envoy, this is a war between Tubo and Tuyuhun. Please do not interfere randomly. Even if Tuyuhun is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has been very respectful to the Tang Dynasty in recent years."
"Zanpu and the Prime Minister send envoys to Chang'an every year, and Tubo has no disrespect for the Tang Dynasty. Please treat the two countries fairly." Lun Zhongcong's face was ugly and authentic.
Li Qinzai said calmly: "If you want fairness, listen to me quietly."
"You must be very surprised. During the Battle of Jishishan, what are the weapons in the hands of my Tang soldiers? You might as well tell you that this weapon has been mass-produced in Chang'an's military weapon monitoring and can be fought at any time."
"One thousand people in the Tang Dynasty can make the Tubo Central Army in chaos. If there are five thousand or ten thousand weapons, you Tubo will not have to take off? If the Tang Dynasty lacks food this year, it will not be impossible to get a 1,000 troops, right?"
Lun Zhongcong's face turned pale, uu read books www.uukanshu.com gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"What do you think?"
"Simplely, Tubo withdrew his troops and returned the occupied territory to Tuyuhun, and the two countries will quit the war from then on."
"Can't do it!"
Not only Zhong Cong, but even Princess Honghua also raised her name and said angrily: "Tubo invaded, slaughtered thousands of people in Tuyuhun, and lost countless cattle, sheep, war, horses and property. How can you not revenge this hatred?"
Li Qinzai glanced at her.
The couple are almost beaten into a dog that is a broken family. You have already burned Gao Xiang, but you still want to take revenge?
Who gives you the confidence?
Lun Zhongcong also said with a gloomy face: "As long as my Tubo army breaks through Jishi Mountain, the entire Tuyuhun territory will be in control. How can we withdraw our troops?"
Li Qinzai smiled, OK, mediation is invalid.
Anyway, it was a superficial task, and he never expected to successfully mediate. It was enough to behave.
"Very good, the negotiations between the Three Kingdoms have broken down, you will go home and continue fighting."
Lun Zhongcong snorted angrily, and was about to get up, but suddenly remembered something.
Today I went to Liangzhou, the Tang Dynasty, and I finished it after a few casual conversations? What is the significance of this negotiation?
Thinking of the more than a thousand Tang army's weapons at the foot of Jishi Mountain, Lu Zhongcong was secretly frightened and stared at Li Qinzai with a frown and said, "I dare to ask the envoy, what does the Tang Dynasty mean?"
Li Qinzai smiled but said firmly: "The day when Tubo occupied the entire Tuyuhun territory was the time when the Tang Dynasty sent troops. This is what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty meant."
Princess Honghua immediately looked happy and looked at Lu Zhongcong provocatively.
Lu Zhongcong breathed a long sigh.
Only now did he realize that the real negotiations have just begun now, and that this negotiation will be extremely difficult.
