Zhao Chiman had just arrived here, and he had basically no rest during the night. This person was still dizzy and didn't even figure out what the situation was. He could only tell Princess Honghua and the others as Han Yi said.

When Princess Honghua and Duofu heard that Li Ji was backing, they couldn't help but be very excited. It was Li Ji who defeated them back then, and they still agreed with Li Ji's military talent. Duofu even hoped to counterattack and recover lost territory in one fell swoop.

He thought too much about this. Han Yi said that the Tang army has not entered Tuyuhun yet. If you want to counterattack, you can only force Tubo to attack. Let's take a look first.

Princess Honghua knew the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty and was a little suspicious, so she asked Duofu not to be careless. The Tubo army had not yet withdrawn and could start a war at any time.

After the conversation, when the big tent was released, Zhao Chiman pulled Han Yi aside and asked in a low voice: "Shilarious Minister Han, what's going on? Sikong Ke is still waiting in Liangzhou."

Han Yi whispered: "You have someone reply to Sikong first, and say that the situation here has changed a little, and there may be a turning point. I have to stay here to deal with Tubo."

"Turn the way?"

Zhao Chiman said, "But the officials heard it--!"

Before he could finish speaking, Han Yi said, "I will tell you this later. You will arrange the army in the rear to prevent any accidents."

"The lower official obeys the order."

As soon as Zhao Chiman walked away, Chen Shuozhen came over and said, "I think things are not that simple."

Han Yi glanced at him and sighed, "You guessed that, he was not here to support us, but to pick us up the retreat." As he said that, he told Chen Shuozhen about the rough experience.

It turned out that Zhao Chiman was here not to support Tuyuhun. He was not so active, but to save Han Yi and Princess Honghua back. Han Yi was the prime minister of the dynasty. If Han Yi was not rescued, he would not be able to bear the blame, so he fought his best!

This is all because of the secret letter written by Han Yi to Li Zhi. It is not that Tuyuhun is in danger, but that Nuohun was assassinated, Tuyuhun was already a headless snake, and its demise has become a fixed number, but Tubo recruited 200,000 troops to invade. It seems that the situation is not as if it was aimed at Tuyuhun, and it is very likely that he would enter Guanzhong.

Of course, this was a scare of Li Zhi. Although Tubo recruited 120,000 troops, Lu Dongzan did not bring them all. In addition, the surrendered troops of the Bailan tribe and Chihai tribe, there were probably no 100,000 troops, because as long as that assassination was successful and Su Hegui was combined, Tuyuhun would have the things in his pocket and would not need to send many soldiers.

Li Zhi was really scared and sweated. It must be a fact that Nuo Hubo was assassinated. Han Yi dared not lie. If he wanted to lie, it must be a crime of deceiving the king. As for the 200,000 army, in ancient times, in wars, he liked to boast about military strength, so this could not be considered a fraud. But no matter what, for Li Zhi, this was really too sudden. He saw that the letter said that Tubo recruited so many troops and rushed to the Helong area all the way. Li Zhi was also confused. This was not right, why did he come all the way to me?

This is something that cannot be avoided. Once the Tubo army breaks through Tuyuhun, as long as he has the heart, he can directly attack Guanzhong along the Longyou Road. Chang'an is in Guanzhong. Although it is quite difficult and almost impossible to enter Guanzhong, because the elite troops in the country are generally stationed in Guanzhong. However, Li Zhi must not be careless about the safety of Chang'an, so he quickly sent Li Ji to Liangzhou to guard the border, because Han Yi also speculated, and it must be for us without saying that he had to fight with us. You can only say that he should be guarded first and be prepared to avoid being caught off guard by Tubo.

It can be seen from this that the Tang Dynasty had completely given up on Tuyuhun.

Han Yi also expected this. He knew that if he wrote a letter to ask Li Zhi to send troops to rescue Tuyuhun, whether Li Zhi would agree or not, at least the ministers would definitely oppose it. Because he lived a wealthy life, who would still want to fight? Besides, the Tang Dynasty was really unsure of fighting with Tubo. If Tubo was so easy to deal with, Li Shimin would not agree to marry Tubo in the face of victory. Then when the court negotiated and found a result, the daylily would be cold.

Therefore, he chose to scare Li Zhi. Tubo might enter Guanzhong. Not to mention whether Li Zhi agreed or not, the ministers would also urge Li Zhi to send troops to defend quickly. This is related to his own interests and must be different.

At the same time, Han Yi also wrote a letter to Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian to tell them that Tubo might be going to attack us. You should send troops quickly to attack Tubo's forces in the northwest and western regions. You can take the initiative first and restrain Tubo's main force, and even force them to divide their troops and surround Wei to save Zhao. Because he knew that Li Zhi would definitely choose to defend, so he might not be able to deceive Lu Dongzan. He fought in the west and acted as a gesture, making Lu Dongzan think that the Tang Dynasty had been prepared, otherwise, how could the northwest suddenly send troops? And the reason why Han Yi kept delaying time was that he was waiting for Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, because it took time to send troops to pass the letter, and it took time to send troops.

In fact, he was not sure that Su Dingfang was able to send troops before Tubo captured Dafeichuan. Therefore, Chen Shuozhen asked him several times, but his answers were very conservative and he never gave up on the choice of escaping.

Fortunately, Han Yi was kind to Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian. If Han Yi had not sacrificed his life to fool Ashina Helu, they would have been criminals, not heroes. In addition, Han Yi, the deputy general manager of Longyoudao marching, had the right to dispatch troops. Therefore, when they saw the letter, they immediately led troops to attack Tubo's forces in the Western Regions. If they hesitated for a while, it would probably be too late.

After hearing this, Chen Shuozhen said, "If Lu Dongzan was not deceived and chose to attack just now, what would you do?"

Han Yi said without hesitation: "Of course it's running!"

Chen Shuozhen was stunned. She didn't expect Han Yi to answer so simply. But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the Tang Dynasty was not ready to send troops and there was too late to support, so she had to escape and there was no other way to choose.

Chen Shuozhen said: "How did you know that Lu Dongzan will definitely be fooled?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "This has to start with why Lu Dongzan succeeded. The reason why Lu Dongzan dared to do this must be because he had done a thorough investigation, knew that I, the Tang Dynasty, did not want to make a big fight, and had also learned very detailedly about me, and knew that I advocated maintaining the status quo. Therefore, he must have expected that if the Tang Dynasty sent me to come, it would have been mediated. This greatly encouraged him, and dared to set up this game and kill two birds with one stone. But on the other hand, if he was strong enough, he would not need to do this at all. He would cover up all kinds of concealment, kill people with a knife, silence people, and attack directly. Why is this?"

Chen Shuozhen said: "This is because he is also afraid of our Tang Dynasty."

"That's the reason." Han Yi said: "In other words, he was not ready to break with the Tang Dynasty, so I dared to bet on this game with him. In fact, both of us are very afraid of each other, so it depends on who has the courage."

I have to say that this bet is really big. If Lu Dongzan is really hurt and if Zan is in power, then he may declare war with the Tang Dynasty, which would be more than worth the loss. Chen Shuozhen smiled and said, "In the end, you won the bet."

"We can't say we won, we just save a little face!" Han Yi sighed and said, "No matter what, Lu Dongzan killed the Prince of Heyuan and the Prince without any effort, severely damaged Tuyuhun, and occupied the very important Chishui River Source. In the future, Tuyuhun's situation will only become more difficult. Now Tuyuhun will not only not help our Tang Dynasty, but also will be a burden to us."

Chen Shuozhen said: "Aren't you planning to help Tuyuhun regain the source of the Chishui River?"

She also knew that since she stopped fighting, she had to talk about it.

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I will try my best to fight for it, but Lu Dongzan, the old fox, has already eaten the meat in his mouth. It is probably very difficult for him to spit it out."

Tubo military camp.

"Father!"

Zan Siruo came to Lu Dongzan's tent with a depressed look on his face.

Lu Dong praised: "Those chiefs didn't make trouble again."

Zan Siruo nodded and said, "They heard that you did this for their tribe, and they didn't make trouble again. But what should I do next? If we don't fight, we have to withdraw our food and grass."

Many of those slave owners also came from the north. Pei Xingjian sent troops to invade and fought their nests. This was not worth it.

Lu Dong praised: "You write a letter to Han Yi in my name and ask him to come out for negotiations."

Zan Siruo said, "But, we have always claimed to the public that you were injured and suddenly appeared on the front line. I'm afraid it's not reasonable."

Lu Dong praised: "It's over now. As long as there is no evidence, they will have no way to deal with us."

Han Yi received the letter and read it. He directly turned it on Princess Honghua and said, "This Lu Dongzan is really cunning. It's time to be sow discord."

Duofu heard it inexplicably, "What do you say about Mr. Han?"

Han Yi said: "Lu Dongzan only asked me to talk to him, but this was a matter between Tuyuhun and Tubo. I think the princess Tuyuhun also had to send a representative over there, otherwise, it would be better not to talk."

Duofu and the Tuyuhun generals were speechless. They fought on our country and now they had to negotiate peace, but they had no share. This does not mean that we have lost our territorial power and are indeed enough to bully people. But what can they say? If they are not convinced, you beat him up and don't yell here.

But the problem is that now they are just meat on the chopping board, and they don’t have the power to make decisions. To negotiate, they are just to embarrass people. No one will take them seriously. Tuyuhun is only half a life left, mainly depending on the game between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

Han Yi said to Chen Shuozhen again: "Please help me reply a letter to Lu Dongzan. Our Tang Dynasty is just a neutral person, so he should talk to the princess about this matter."

Chen Shuozhen nodded slightly, but thought to himself, "You said Lu Dongzan is so cunning, you are almost the same!"

Duofu hurriedly said, "Mr. Han, this-!" As he said that, he looked at Princess Honghua again. This is not possible. If the Tang Dynasty is neutral at this time, there is no need to talk about it. They are not qualified to challenge Tubo now. If Tubo wants to talk to them, then Tubo must go to heaven. From this perspective, only by letting the Tang Dynasty talk to Tubo can it be called "talk". If they go, they will probably have to kneel down and speak, embarrassing.

"Let's wait!"

Princess Honghua raised her jade arm and said, "Mr. Han, I cannot come forward to this matter. How can I erase the revenge of killing my husband and son in just a few words? Even if Lu Dongzan asks me to discuss, I will not go there. I will have to trouble Mr. Han."

Han Yi smiled in his heart when he heard this. He was such a smart person!

It is really wonderful to find this step. It is a battle or a peace. This can be negotiated, but the revenge of killing husbands and children cannot be exchanged. You must take revenge, complaints and complaints, and be clear, but in this way, it is impossible to negotiate.

Speaking of this, Princess Honghua slightly raised her voice, "Shishou Minister Han has always worked hard for me, and I absolutely believe that Shishou Minister Han will think about me."

The second half of this sentence obviously said that the Tuyuhun soldiers listened to it.

Han Yi looked embarrassed and said, "This is not very good!"

Princess Honghua smiled and said, "This negotiation cannot be completed in one day. Let's take a look at what Lu Dongzan said first. Let's consider it."

Duofu hurriedly said, "Ke Dun Shengming, I think it is the most appropriate to do this."

The other generals also nodded in favor.

Han Yi reluctantly agreed. In fact, he didn't want Tuyuhun to participate at all. He just wanted to talk to Lu Dongzan alone, talked about two aspects, and talked about other people's affairs. This was much simpler. Both parties made some concessions for their own interests. Anyway, letting them be the interests of Tuyuhun. If Tuyuhun also participated, things would become very complicated and it might not be possible to reach an agreement.
