When Li Yao walked into the Uighur camp, it was not Guli Peiluo Khagan who welcomed her, but the flashes of swords and sabers standing around the camp.
The Uighur soldiers looked at Li Yao and Guo Ziyi fiercely.
Looking at the situation around him, Guo Ziyi could not help but feel a little nervous. He pressed his hand tightly on his sword.
However, Li Yao looked relaxed. She knew that the Uighurs were strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Moreover, she had an army of nearly 200,000 outside. The Uighurs would not dare to attack her easily.
When Guli Peiluo saw Li Yao dressed in casual clothes in the tent, he was also shocked. He couldn't help but admire Li Yao's courage and courage.
He was also surprised that the king of Tang who led the Tang army to sweep the Uighurs in Anbei was so young.
"Li Yao, the fifth son of the Emperor of the Great Tang, King E, greets Khan Guli Peiluo of the Uighurs.”Li Yao bowed slightly to Guli Peiluo, who was sitting in the main tent.
Guli Peiluo didn't return the greeting, only slightly nodding his head.
"The Khagan's etiquette in the palace has also lost its grace! I, King E of the Tang Empire, took the initiative to bow to the Khan, but the Khan didn't respond! Isn't this too much!" Guo Ziyi stood behind Li Yao and said angrily.
Guli Peiluo glared at Guo Ziyi, then stood up and bowed to Li Yao,"Uighur Guli Peiluo greets His Highness King E of the Great Tang.”
Li Yao also nodded slightly and was invited to her seat by Guli Peiluo in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Guo Ziyi still pressed his hand tightly on the sword, staring at the Uighur Khan warily.
"I didn't expect the Khan to know so much about the etiquette of the Tang Empire.”Li Yao smiled.
"When I was a prince, I studied in the Central Plains for five years. One of Benhan's concubines was also a lady of a famous family in the Great Tang.”Guli Peiluo replied.
Li Yao sized up the Khan. He was indeed different from some of the crude temperament of the Uighurs. This Uighur Khan had some of the elegance of the Tang scholars.
"I wonder how the Tang Empire has broken the covenant that the Khan is so angry about it? Invading my territory and occupying my land?" Li Yao asked seriously.
" Your Highness King E really doesn't know?!" Hearing Li Yao's words, Guli Peiluo glared angrily.
"I've only heard that the treacherous officials of the Great Tang caused this misunderstanding between our two countries.”Li Yao said.
"Traitorous officials harming the country? Isn't Your Highness being too lenient?" Guli Peiluo was furious." What have we, the Uighurs, done wrong? Why did the Tang Empire kill our prince and slaughter our people without any explanation?"!”
" What?!" Li Yao stood up in shock.
Seeing Li Yao's reaction, Guli Peiluo understood that the King of E of the Great Tang had not grasped the entire situation, and his anger lessened slightly.
Then, the Uighur Khan said sadly,""Every year, the Uighurs and the Great Tang have a horse market in Anbei.
At the end of this autumn, the horse market just opened. The Great Tang's Anbei Protector-General, Li Linchang, raised the customs fees by eighty percent. My eldest son, Ilpero, went to your Anbei Protector-General to reason with him. However, he had been hacked to death by the Anbei Protector-General.
The merchants we sent were also massacred by Li Linchang's men! Your Highness, tell me, what crime have we Uighurs committed?!”Guli Peiluo shouted in grief and indignation.
But what made this sorrowful Uighur Khan feel somewhat strange was that the Great Tang's King of E was even angrier than he was.
"Li Linchang, that treacherous official! He stirred up trouble and incited the two countries! Ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for his sins!" After saying that, Li Yao bowed towards Guli Pei Luo,"Khan, this matter was indeed caused by the Great Tang!
I should commit suicide to compensate the Khan for the loss of his son!”As he spoke, he snatched Guo Ziyi's sword and was about to slash it at his own neck.
Of course, Li Yao didn't really want to commit suicide.
Guli Peiluo was moved by Li Yao's reaction. He quickly ran down from his seat and grabbed Li Yao's hand,"Your Highness King E! It shouldn't be like this! It's your Great Tang's treacherous officials who have misled the country! Don't lose your life for such a treacherous official!”
Guo Ziyi also quickly came up from the side and snatched his sword.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Yao didn't do anything, but her face was still filled with grief.
Although he didn't really want to commit suicide, he was really angry.
How was this a traitor harming the country? It was simply a traitor harming the country! How many beautiful and prosperous dynasties had not been destroyed by outsiders, but by treacherous officials in their own countries?
"Your Highness King E! I didn't expect Your Highness to be so sincere. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for my previous rudeness.”Guli Peiluo was also touched.
"The Khan doesn't have to be like this. From the day I sent out my army, I have been telling the Uighur warriors that our Great Tang is always willing to reconcile with the Uighurs. The Great Tang and the Uighurs will still be brothers like before.
Today, I learned from the Khan that the Khan lost his beloved son because of the treacherous officials of the Tang Empire. In this case, the Tang Empire will naturally give the Khan an explanation to compensate for the pain of losing his son!”Li Yao said sincerely.
"Your Highness! I only hope that the Great Tang can send Li Linchang to the Uighurs so that I can kill my enemy with my own hands! To comfort my beloved son's soul in heaven!" Guli Peiluo said sincerely.
"Even if the Khan didn't say anything about this, I would have sent Li Linchang to the Khan!”Li Yao promised.
"With Your Highness's words, our Uighurs wish to stop fighting, return to the Great Tang, and mend our relationship!”Guli Peiluo sighed.
"That's good. The Uighurs of the Great Tang will forever be brothers!”Li Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Sun Tzu's Art of War said that attacking the heart was the most important thing. In this aspect, Li Yao had already succeeded.
" Your Highness, I have a presumptuous request. Last night, my daughter Ayimu brought people to assassinate Your Highness without my permission. As expected, Your Highness captured her. I wonder if Your Highness has…" Guli Peiluo asked with a worried expression.
After all, his daughter was assassinated first. Even if she was killed, there was no reason for him to do so.
"Ah! That was the Khan's princess! I thought it was a prince! She's in our camp, and I've asked someone to treat her with courtesy. Please rest assured, Khan. When the truce is over, I will send someone to escort Princess Ayimu back.”Li Yao nodded.
"That's good! King E, please return to your seat. I want to invite King E to a banquet today!”Guli Peiluo laughed.
Li Yao also nodded with a smile. He sent Guo Ziyi to bring the good news of the successful peace talks back to the Tang army camp.
The Tang and Uighurs also welcomed peace with the cheers of their armies.
