The Dragon Kingdom Doesn't Interfer in the Internal Affairs of the Great Tang
Su Muyang was right.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Taiji Palace was so heavy that it was almost dripping with water.
The Turkic army had come too suddenly.
Caught off guard, it was already too late for the Great Tang Imperial Court to receive the news.
Although he had urgently dispatched the brave general Yuchi Jingde to Jingyang to defend against the Turks, he was still in charge of the Jingzhou Road.
Yuchi Jingde also gave his all, winning the first battle by a small margin.
But the disparity in strength was simply unable to stop the iron hooves of the Turks.
The Turks were about to arrive at the city gates!
In truth, the Turks would not have been so arrogant if they had been following the true strength of the Great Tang.
But the Turks had seized the perfect opportunity.
Li Shi Min had just ascended the throne and was in the middle of a power transition.
There were still many things that had not been sorted out.
Moreover, the recent negotiations with Su Muyang had attracted the attention of the entire Tang Empire.
That was why it had evolved into such a situation.
Not only that.
Luo Yi, who had already submitted to the Great Tang, had also rebelled.
It could be said to be adding fuel to the fire.
At this moment, Li Shi Min's mentality was about to crack.
.......................................
"Your Majesty, there are only 30,000 troops in the city.”
"The Turks have an army of more than one hundred thousand.”
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Among the officials, someone tried his best to persuade him.
Decisive? Decide what?
Didn't he want to persuade Li Shiming to run away?
As long as there was life, there was hope.
Li Shi Min snorted and shouted angrily.
"I have followed my father to conquer the world since I was young.”
"Every time there is a war, you must personally lead the troops.”
"When have you ever retreated?"
"If you want to persuade me to abandon the city, don't say it!”
"To avoid hurting the harmony between the monarch and his subjects!"
Since Li Shi Min had said so, some people finally shut up.
But even if they didn't dare to say it, there were still people who dared to say it.
Zhangsun Wuji walked out with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, the Turks are too powerful to be our enemy.”
"If we forcefully start a battle, I'm afraid…"
Li Shi Min's face was dark as he shouted angrily.
"Ancestors, are you trying to persuade me to flee?”
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and said sincerely.
"Your Majesty has been in the army for a long time, so you should naturally know.”
"Based on the current military strength of both sides.”
"If the two armies were to clash, the Great Tang's chances of victory would be slim.”
His words were still reserved.
Actually, everyone knew.
Now, it wasn't just a lack of troops.
The Turks had already reached Chang 'an Fortress, which was a waver to the morale of the army.
If I were to fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance of winning.
....................................
Zhangsun Wuji paused for a moment before continuing.
"In the current situation, there are only three ways.”
"One is to abandon the city, two is to fight head-on, and three is to negotiate peace.”
"If we flee, His Majesty will lose all his dignity.”
"If we fight, our chances of winning are slim."
"Ruohe, I'm afraid that Jie Li's appetite isn't small.”
"Therefore, none of these three methods are the best.”
Everyone nodded silently. Their judgment was the same as Zhangsun Wuji's.
Li Shi Min naturally knew this as he frowned and asked.
"Then what should we do according to the auxiliary machine?”
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, don't forget."
"There is still an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty in Chang 'an!”
"If he's willing to help…"
F * ck! How could I forget about Su Muyang?
Everyone's eyes lit up.
That's right, with the ambassador's shocking methods, this was nothing.
Cheng Yaojin clapped his hands and shouted in surprise.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Ambassador Su has a gun in his hand!”
"If he's willing to act, those Turkic dogs won't be able to stop him!”
Li Jing also agreed.
"According to what Zhijie said earlier, that spear is extremely powerful and impossible to guard against.”
"In fact, we only need to kill a portion of the Turks and their morale will collapse.”
Li Shi Min said anxiously.
"Quickly go and invite Ambassador Su over!"
....................................
When Su Muyang came over, Li Shimin had already put on a smile.
"Ambassador Su, we fully accept the 30% of resources that your country proposed earlier!”
This was something they had discussed long ago.
In fact, they had no choice at all.
Previously, he had only delayed it for a few days because he wanted to be reserved.
How could he still be reserved now?
Su Muyang knew that, but he did not show it on his face.
"That's good!"
"Then when can we officially sign the contract?”
Li Shi Min's face revealed a trace of embarrassment.
"Emissary Su, you don't know."
"Originally, I was planning to hold a ceremony in the next few days to formally sign the contract.”
"It's just that the Turks have suddenly sent troops to Chang 'an, and all the officials in the court are busy with the war.”
"Oh?" Su Muyang smiled and said calmly.
"It's fine. I can wait a little longer.”
"War is a matter of national importance, a place of life and death, and a path of survival!”
"Your Majesty and sirs, there's no need to worry about me. Let's fight this battle first.”
Seeing that Su Muyang did not fall for it, Zhangsun Wuji quickly said.
"Perhaps you don't know."
"The Turkic army is in full force this time, and once the battle begins, it won't be accomplished in a day or two.”
"We are also afraid that Ambassador Su will wait too long and delay the official business.”
"Besides, weapons have no eyes. If you hurt High Ambassador Su, it won't be good.”
Su Muyang smiled, looking as calm as ever.
"Lord Zhangsun, there's no need to persuade me."
"I don't have anything important to do, so there's no harm in waiting a little longer.”
"As for my safety, I still have some ability to protect myself.”
F * ck! Why didn't Ambassador Su understand?
Everyone looked at each other helplessly.
Zhangsun Wuji let out a long sigh and finally made it clear.
"If Emissary Su can help the Great Tang repel the Turkic army.”
"The Great Tang will definitely repay you!"
Su Muyang could no longer pretend.
He smiled again, revealing a standard diplomatic smile with eight teeth.
"Lord Zhangsun must be joking."
"I have previously stated our foreign policy many times.”
"Respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.”
"The war between the Great Tang and the Turks is an internal affair of the Great Tang.”
"As the Dragon Country's special envoy, I naturally won't interfere.”
F * ck!
The group of people were about to cry. Why was he so stubborn?
Why did he start to be pedantic at this time?
Don't you know that there is a reason why a general can't accept the king's orders?
For a moment, the hall fell into silence.
Many people even had wild imaginations.
Could it be that the Great Tang had deliberately delayed the negotiations these past few days and angered High Ambassador Su?
The Dragon Kingdom was even prepared to abandon the Great Tang and find another spokesperson?
Thinking of this, everyone panicked.
