"Father, we first promise to give him the entire Tocharian territory, and then wait for him to help us eliminate the nobles who oppose us, then take back Tocharian, and then start a war with the Tang Dynasty in the name of him killing our nobles. Can't you?" Saleh looked at Aviye in awe and said.
"Idiot! He has placed nearly 300,000 troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Once we agree to him, he will immediately let us fulfill our promise. At that time, the army of the Tang Dynasty will immediately take over the land of Tochara. Pushing the 300,000 troops closer to us will pose a greater threat to us. And if he gives up cooperating with us and turns to cooperate with other nobles, we will lose control of those lands in vain. All initiative will be lost." Awiye looked at Saleh in awe with a cold look in his eyes.
It wasn't until Yeyue and Li Hong disappeared that Saleh's tone softened slightly: "It's not terrible to lose Tocharu, which was not our inherent land, but if he cooperates with other nobles, the other nobles will only agree He wants more of my Dashi land, what should we do? Don't forget, the land east of Jiling City was formerly called the Tang Dynasty Persian Governor's Mansion. We gave up a large area of land and just used it to cut off a few nobles. This account... is not easy to calculate. "
Saleh was shocked. If Aviya hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten the existence of Belus, let alone places like Jiling City. After all, they were the ones who snatched the food from the hands of the Tang Dynasty. of.
So he immediately exclaimed: "Father, do you mean that Li Hong's purpose is to return to their original territory of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Otherwise? Chen Bing has 300,000 soldiers, and then he comes to me to eat without stopping under the guise of eternal peace and friendship between the two countries. What do you think he is doing?"
"Then if the Hashem family, or any other family, reaches some kind of agreement with Li Hong, such as giving up those territories, wouldn't Li Hong really want to switch sides and deal with us with others?"
Saleh never expected that today, which seemed to be a happy one, like a pair of old friends who had met each other late and talked happily. The two of them had been smiling and coexisting harmoniously at the banquet, but the negotiation would lead to such a result.
"Yes, so I underestimated him today, thinking that these invisible and intangible high-level courtesy would be enough to make such a young man satisfied and proud. But obviously this person was not fooled by my arrangement. He calmly analyzed my purpose, and now he has taken the initiative..." A trace of regret flashed through Aviye's mind, maybe he shouldn't have spoken too decisively just now.
"Then let's just put him in our capital city..." Saleh just stretched his hand to his neck, preparing to make a singing gesture, but was knocked down by Aviye.
"You'd better not have this idea. If you dare to have this idea again, or let the prince of Tang Dynasty know your thoughts, you, the heir, will be abandoned by me!" Aviye said angrily.
"Why father? In this case, wouldn't anyone be able to use the power of Datang?"
"The 300,000 Tang troops stationed on the border of the Tang Dynasty are too tempting for other nobles. Even if we want to kill him, the other nobles will not allow it now. They will definitely find ways to protect him, which will make it more justifiable. With the help of the Tang Dynasty's 300,000 troops to overthrow us, even if we kill him, we will still have to face the menacing 300,000 troops, and even the Tang Dynasty will send all the troops to attack us. If the nobles oppose us, we will be in a difficult situation of being attacked both internally and externally. At that time, our royal family will only be destroyed in the blink of an eye." The more Aviya explained, the more he felt a headache.
I originally thought I had introduced a dog that could be used for my own use into the Great Food City, but I didn't expect that this Tang Prince turned out to be a cunning, insidious, and ambitious wolf! He is completely a wolf with a deep knowledge of the city and a deep understanding of Dashi!
Aviya allowed Yeyue to send Li Hong out of the palace. Although he knew very well that this beauty trap would have no effect at all on the evil wolf or pervert, but at this time, after miscalculating this big As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he must use any available means on Li Hong.
Even if cooperation with Li Hong cannot be achieved, at least he cannot be allowed to unite with other nobles, put pressure on himself, and then achieve goals that are completely beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
"Do you think your father would be so kind?" Li Hong and Ye Yue stood at the entrance of the palace. The brightly lit palace entrance was majestic and solemn. The palace guards, wearing bright armor, looked at them fiercely from time to time and ignored them at all. Li Hong.
"Isn't it? My father's meaning has been very obvious. I'm afraid it's just you, a fool who didn't hear it. If you agree to him, even if it's not a small matter, it will have a big impact on Dashi and Datang. Isn't it a good help? If the two countries can be reconciled forever, wouldn't it make me feel better and feel more calm?" Yeyue said for a long time, covered with black veil, but in the end she still didn't have the courage to say, if Li Hong agreed to talk to her. If her father cooperates, things between the two of them will naturally fall into place and become a good story between the two countries. It will also make the two countries closer and not invade each other in the future.
Li Hong smiled and took Yeyue's little hand, looking up at the tall and majestic palace gate. I'm afraid he was the only one who dared to be so arrogant to the Princess of Dashi Kingdom here.
And looking at the guards whose eyes were about to fall to the ground, you knew how unacceptable this small move of yours was for them.
Yeyue wanted to pull her hand back. This place was not like the Tang Dynasty. She could be a little more arrogant. But this was under her father's nose. If she was seen by others, how would she, the princess, see anyone in the future.
"Let's not talk about what happened between me and your father. If I suddenly want to return to Datang, will you go back with me?"
"when?"
"For example, in a few days, if you are suddenly asked to leave your father alone and go to Datang with me, will you..."
"Then... does it mean I can't come back again?" Yeyue's bright eyes, set off by the black gauze, looked even brighter, like two gems that made people's hearts beat.
"How is that possible? If you want to come back, you can come back. This is your home. You can come back at any time if you want. I will never stop you, and I will send heavy troops to accompany you back." Li Hong said softly.
Yeyue is not stupid. Although there was a negotiation between Li Hong and his father, she didn't understand why the two of them looked so happy and spoke very gently, as if they felt that they met too late. , but why was there no agreement in the end
"I made the translation for you, are you hiding anything? Do you want to be right with my father?" Yeyue continued to walk forward with Li Hong, and the personal guards of the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince slowly followed behind, including Dashi. The carriage sent by the country to pick up Li Hong today was also surrounded by the guards of the Dashi Kingdom. It slowly followed Li Hong and Ye Yue and walked forward silently.
"You are the translator between me and your father. Of course you know that I have a very happy conversation with your father, so how can you go against him?"
"But you didn't agree to his request, and he didn't promise you anything. But no matter what, you are the one who gets the highest courtesy when you come to my feast, whether it is the small countries next to you or the people to the west who are feasted by me. The monarchs of a country before the conquest, not to mention the ministers that my father didn't even want to see. They came to my feast, and none of them could enjoy the most noble courtesy of my feast like you, not even my father. It is unimaginable for me to greet you personally at the gate of the palace. But even with such a respectful courtesy, I just can't figure out why you can't reach an agreement. There is no problem with what you said. , except for you being tit-for-tat at first, but after you entered the palace, you guys talked happily, I really don’t understand." Yeyue frowned, pouted her little mouth under the black veil, and stamped her feet in a depressed manner. .
"Didn't your father say something to you? It was when he asked you to send me out for him." Li Hong continued to hold Yeyue's little hand that started to pinch his own flesh with his nails, and asked a little strangely.
"I told you, I don't agree, I'm just asking you casually. As for what's going on between you two, I don't want you to make a choice that's not good for Datang because of me. Of course, I don't want you to make a choice that's not good for my father. , but... I don't want to force you... My father hopes that I will use my relationship with you, even if I am acting coquettishly, to force you to agree to his conditions. "
"But you didn't agree. Are you unwilling to use yourself to influence my choice?" Li Hong hugged Yeyue, whose eyes were starting to become a little moist, and asked gently.
"Yeah." Yeyue took advantage of the situation and hid in Li Hong's arms, but her restless hands were still grabbing Li Hong's flesh, and continued to murmur: "I know it's not easy for you, you are just like my brother Wang, Everyone will be the king of a country. Thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty need you to be responsible for them, and... When you rescued the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty from Jiling City who were besieged by our food, and then when I was captured by you and brought to Anxi , In fact, Datang has never been sorry to Dashi, but Dashi's ambition was too great. He... wanted a wider land, and he wanted to conquer the world. "
Li Hong caressed the delicate body in his arms, looked up at the starry sky, sighed, and said: "Tell your father, I am not interested in the land you eat, whether it is me, the Tang Dynasty, the former dynasty, or the Han Dynasty. We have never actively invaded other countries. Every time we go to war, it is because others are full of ambition and hostility towards our territory."
"Then what do you want from Dashi this time?" Yeyue raised her head again and asked, but all she felt was a blur in front of her eyes. The veil on her face suddenly loosened, and her lips opened subconsciously, and she was immediately hugged. people printed it.
