"Li Shi Min! Today, I have 150,000 soldiers under my command. The reason I'm giving you this chance to negotiate is because of the friendship between your father, Li Yuan, and me.”
"That is to submit to the cavalry of our Turkic army and submit to us, paying tribute every year!”
"If you, Li Shi Min, agree, then my army will immediately retreat.”
"But if you don't agree, I promise! Within three days, they would definitely take Chang 'an. The day the city was broken would be the day they massacred the city!”
Jie Li's attitude was extremely arrogant, his words were filled with pride and threat.
Jie Li said so, although there was an exaggerated threat.
However, he was not wrong!
If the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers gathered in Chang 'an and launched a fierce attack on Chang' an City, which had been ravaged by countless wars, then they would be able to escape.
Although it was impossible to take down Chang 'an in three days, it would be possible to take down Chang' an in five days, ten days, or half a month!
The reason why he did not launch an attack was not because he did not want to take Chang 'an and become the master of the world.
Rather, the Turkic tribes had already plundered countless treasures and food, and the leaders had already earned a fortune.
Li Shimin then handed over all the gold, silver, cloth, money, and grain in the Chang 'an treasury.
At this time, if they were to launch a fierce attack on Chang 'an, the leaders of the various tribes would definitely not agree. Even if they were to attack the city by force, the leaders of the various tribes would not do their best.
At that time, the ones who would suffer the greatest loss would be his Jie Li's direct troops!
If his direct troops suffered heavy losses, he would lose the ability to suppress the grassland tribes. Even if he really took Chang 'an and became the ruler of the world, his position would not last long.
Jie Li was very clear about how powerful this was!
Jie Li wouldn't do something that didn't benefit both sides!
However, he would not retreat so easily!
He wanted a reason, a good reputation, an alliance that could shock the world!
He wanted Li Shi Min, Li Tang's soldiers, and the people to tremble in fear under his authority, and never have the courage to resist!
He just wanted to see how Li Tang and his subjects would submit to him and satisfy his pride!
"This is too much! You're really going too far!"
Yuchi Jingde roared. They had followed Li Shiming to the north and south, and had gone through many battles, but they had never suffered such humiliation!
"Your Majesty, we request to fight!”
"Your Majesty, I would rather die on the Wei River than suffer such humiliation!!”
Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and the rest of the generals couldn't take it anymore. They roared angrily with flushed faces and looked at Jie Li with eyes filled with grief and indignation!
Li Shi Min clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. If he was still the King of Qin, he would have ordered the army to march without hesitation and personally lead the army to fight to the death with Jie Li!
But he was now the Emperor of the Great Tang!
He had to think for the entire country and the people of the world!
He thought of the instructions that his son, Li Chengqian, had passed on to him through Fan Xing, and of the ten strategies that Li Chengqian had given him.
Those nine shocking words made him instantly sober up.
"Good! Jie Li Khan! I'll talk to you! I can agree to the request of the alliance to pay tribute to you year after year! However, I will never agree to submit to you!”These few words seemed to have exhausted all of Li Shiming's strength!
A huge sense of humiliation filled Li Shi Min's body, causing him to tremble and his eyes to turn red.
The Great Tang and the Central Plains had never been so humiliated before.
He, Li Shi Min, had been a hero for his entire life, and had never been defeated in any battle. When had he ever been so humiliated?!
At this moment, Li Shiming swore in his heart that after the alliance at Weishui River, he would work hard to make the country prosperous and prepare his troops to return the humiliation to Jie Li!
He was going to completely destroy these abominable bandits!
With this, he could redeem the humiliation he had suffered today!
"Hahahaha!"
On the other side, Jie Li and the group of non-humankind commanders started to laugh out loud. Their laughter was filled with mockery and arrogance!
All the tough generals at the south side of Weishui River clenched their fists while enduring the great humiliation!
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin were trembling with tears in their eyes!
"Hahahaha!" Jie Li laughed as he pointed at Li Shi Min with his whip: "Li Shiming, you've lost your courage after becoming the emperor, but you value your face more than your life!”
"Good! This Khan will give you face today and not need you to bow down to me!”
Jie Li changed the topic and pointed at the white horse under Li Shiming and Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin who were guarding Li Shiming,"However, in order to prove your sincerity in negotiating peace with me, I want you to personally cut off the right arms of the white horse and the two generals behind you! In this way, I will believe in your sincerity and immediately lead the army to retreat!”
"How is it?"
