Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 268 Negotiation Failure
Han Wei was completely dumbfounded by this sentence!

In front of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, it is really too daring to say such words.

Han Wei immediately said: "Do you know how powerful our Tang Dynasty is now? We conquered Tuyuhun, the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, and even Tubo, our Tang Dynasty also beat him back to Tubo Kingdom."

"The Tang Dynasty is so powerful, Wentai, don't go your own way, or it won't do you any good!" Han Wei looked at Ju Wentai and said.

When Wen Tai heard this, he immediately became angry.

"That's Tuyuhun, that's Tubo, that's the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, not my Gaochang country. The strength of my Gaochang country is not something you Tang can attack if you want to."

Han Wei said: "King Gaochang, those who know the current affairs are heroes! If you don't listen to dissuasion, you may regret it later! Datang sent me to discuss this matter with you, King Gaochang. You understand that what you have done will damage the friendship between the two countries and let you go astray!"

Ju Wentai laughed, and said: "It's a joke, I, Gaochang Kingdom, exercise our rights on our soil, what right does your Tang Dynasty have to accuse us?"

Hearing this, Han Wei said, "King Gaochang, I'm not blaming you, but you have to understand one thing, how much is your Gaochang country when the Great Tang won the land? How many times is the military strength of the Great Tang as your Gaochang country? is that clear?"

"So what?" Wen Tai always looked at Han Wei proudly.

"To tell you the truth, I, Gaochang Kingdom, have good relations with the Western Turks. If your Great Tang treats us, then the Western Turks will definitely not stand idly by. At that time, once the Western Turks unite with our Gaochang Kingdom and take down the Tang Dynasty, it will be no trouble at all. The power to blow ashes!"

"King Gaochang, what you said is impractical. I can tell you responsibly that if you don't repent, and the Tang Dynasty appoints to send troops to you, at that time, people will be devastated. In your Gaochang country, it is the people of your Gaochang country who will suffer. .” A follower of Han Wei reminded him.

The entourage originally meant to remind them kindly, but Wen Tai was very angry. He looked at the entourage beside Han Wei and said very bluntly: "You have no place to speak here, shut up."

Han Wei looked at Wen Tai, and said: "King Gaochang, let me tell you, the two of them came with me, and they are both envoys, so they can express their opinions. Are you being too defiant when you say that?" ?”

Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, said: "If you three are here to persuade, then there is no need. I, Gaochang Kingdom, am not afraid of you, Tang Dynasty. As for the refugees, I will not let them go."

Han Wei heard the words and said: "King Gaochang, you are so stubborn, you will definitely reap the consequences yourself, and regret it!"

"I thought I had good relations with you, Gaochang Kingdom, before the Tang Dynasty, but now you have listened to the instigation of the Western Turks. My Majesty the Tang Dynasty does not care about you, and has sent envoys to negotiate with you Gaochang Kingdom many times, but you are so obsessed with it." Han Wei looked. Said Gaochang Wang Wentai.

Wen Tai dismissed it, and turned a deaf ear to Han Wei's words.

"Since then, I, Gaochang Kingdom, have no longer obeyed the orders of Datang. Now it is not impossible for me to release the refugees. As long as my conditions are met, the refugees of Datang can be released." Wen Tai threw out at this time He said something that made Han Wei feel hopeful.

Now that there are conditions to talk about, there is hope.

"What conditions does King Gaochang have, let's hear it." Han Wei said.

"It's very simple!" Wen Tai said, "All you need is for Datang to surrender to our Gaochang Kingdom and become a vassal state of our Gaochang Kingdom. If that's the case, then those refugees will be our refugees, and the King will send someone to escort them , and returned to their home safely."

When Han Wei heard this, he almost vomited blood with anger.

"King Gaochang, you are just dreaming. How can I, the mighty Tang Empire, surrender to a small country like you? You should withdraw this idea as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Wen Tai heard the words, and said: "It is such a condition, if it can be met, we can talk, if not, there is no need to talk."

Han Wei heard the words and said, "This is completely impossible."

"Even if you are sensible and automatically surrender to my Great Tang, then my Great Tang can forgive you for the sake of your knowledge, and can also support the development of Gaochang Kingdom. Otherwise, my Great Tang will definitely make you regret it! "

King Gaochang heard the words and said angrily: "How can there be an envoy like you? What kind of negotiation is this? I, Gaochang Kingdom, and your Tang Dynasty have nothing to talk about!"

Wen Tai, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, said angrily, "See off the guests!"

Immediately, a guard looked at Han Wei and the three of them and said, "Let's go, you are not welcome in our Gaochang Kingdom."

Han Wei looked at Wen Tai and said, "You'd better be sensible, otherwise, I, Tang Dynasty, will never be polite to you. When the time comes, I'm afraid your life will be lost!"

Gaochang Wang Wentai said angrily: "I didn't see that you are the messenger, I will kill you today! Get out of here!"

This time the negotiations did not achieve the expected results.

Han Wei was very decisive and defended Datang's dignity.

This time, he didn't embarrass Datang.

Han Wei was very active and took the initiative in the negotiation.

Although the goal was not achieved, but this time, it was affirmed by two followers.

"Envoy Han, let's go back now. Wen Tai's attitude will definitely not lead to a deal. When the time comes, His Majesty will have to decide what to do. Your mission and mine have been completed."

"That's right, Envoy Han, King Gaochang's attitude is very bad. No matter how hard we try, it may not help!"

Both followers looked at Han Wei and said.

However, Han Wei still wanted to try again.

"I think, let's try again. If we can't negotiate this time, then there is no need." Han Wei said.

This time when he was sent to Gaochang, Han Wei was the real envoy, and the two attendants were only accompanying to protect Han Wei.

Naturally, Han Wei has the final say.

After hearing Han Wei's words, the two followers stopped talking.

The next day, the three of them came outside the palace again, but this time, after waiting for a long time, they did not wait for the guards to arrive.

Outside the palace, there was not a single guard to be seen.

This in itself is a very strange thing.

The three of Han Wei waited outside until the sunset, and finally went back disappointed.

"Emissary Han, don't use it anymore! We will return to Datang immediately and report the truth," said the entourage.

Han Wei thought for a while and said, "I'll go there again tomorrow!"

Although the two followers were a bit reluctant, since Han Wei said so, they couldn't say anything.

On the second day, the three continued to wait outside the palace.

This time, there are guards.

Han Wei made it clear what he wanted.

After the guard reported, he came back and said: "Messenger Han, my lord has said that this is the Gaochang Kingdom, not the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the lord has the final say, and, of course, we must do what the lord says."

Hearing this, Han Wei said angrily: "Go back and tell your King Gaochang, ask him to be more acquainted, and release my Tang refugee. Otherwise, I, Tang Tiejia, will leave for the capital of Gaochang in a month."

Hearing the words, the guard replied, "You also go back and tell your old man Li, let him know a little bit more, if he wants my Gaochang country to hand over the refugees, then hurry up and surrender to my Gaochang country, otherwise, there will be no way."

This time the negotiation ended in failure.

Han Wei did not complete the task due to two reasons.

The first is that King Wentai of Gaochang Kingdom did not look down on Han Wei at all, thinking that Han Wei was not qualified to negotiate with him; the second was that King Wentai of Gaochang Kingdom received the support of Western Turks and believed that he could compete with Datang.

And the second reason is the most important reason.

Han Wei did not complete the mission.

He failed to get Gaochang Wang Wentai to release the refugees.

Han Song who returned to Songzhou City was unhappy!

"Messenger Han, don't be unhappy, you've done a good job in this matter!" Guo Bian looked at Han Wei and said, "I've heard the words of the two followers, and I know you didn't embarrass Datang, good job!"

Han Wei took a deep breath and said: "Guo Dudu, originally this time, His Majesty promised that as long as I complete the task and successfully let Wen Tai release the refugees, I will be reinstated as an official. Unexpectedly, Wen Tai is so stubborn , self-righteous, thinking that he can compete with me, Datang."

Guo Bian heard the words and said: "King Gaochang is looking for death. As soon as my Tang cavalry arrives in Gaochang country, he will make Gaochang country cease to exist!"

Guo Bian said: "Envoy Han, you are not to blame for this matter. The imperial court will test you again. I believe that if there is a chance, I will leave it to you Envoy Han. I will write a letter to His Majesty right away. This matter must be decided by Your Majesty."

Han Wei was not in the mood and continued to return to his post.

"Captain, please tell Your Majesty that I, Han Wei, am incompetent and failed to complete the mission he assigned."

Guo Bian nodded in agreement.

……

Li Shimin looked at the letter in his hand, and immediately became furious!
"This dog boy Wentai really doesn't know what to do. His wings are stiff and he wants to fly. I think I treated him kindly when he came to Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant. I insisted on letting me take care of him."

"Come on, get General Yi for me." Li Shimin ordered.

After a while, Yi Yin came to Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin, and said: "The bastard Wen Tai, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, would not let me be a refugee from the Tang Dynasty, it is really unreasonable!"

Yi Yin heard the words, sat firmly on the throne, and said calmly: "Why is the emperor so angry?"

"The king of Gaochang Kingdom ignores the existence of my Tang Dynasty, how can I not be angry." Li Shimin said angrily.

"Such a small country that is not lazy, dare to yell at my Tang Dynasty? Doesn't this mean that my Tang Dynasty is underestimated?" Li Shimin was still very angry.

"Your Majesty, isn't this going according to my plan!" Yi Yin said while looking at Li Shimin.

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin in surprise, and said, "What did you say?"

Yi Yin said: "Your Majesty, this is in my expectation, or in other words, I hope things will develop like this."

"Why did you say that?" Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and asked.

Yi Yin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Gaochang Kingdom has been restless in recent years. The reason is that they have the support of the Western Turks, and dare to openly argue with the Tang Dynasty!"

"The interests of the Western Regions are also favored by the Western Turks. Gaochang's geographical location is very important there. My Datang wants the support of the Gaochang Kingdom, and the Western Turks also want the support of the Gaochang Kingdom. However, because of preconceived ideas, the Western Turks first Gao Changguo was bribed. However, Gao Changguo, who only looks at the benefits in front of him, will definitely regret it."

"So, is everything in your plan?" Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said.

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, everything is under control. I even hope that it would be best for Gaochang Kingdom not to let me be a refugee from the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "You mean, we can use this as an excuse?"

Yi Yin nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, that's exactly what I mean. Since Gao Changguo ignores my Great Tang, let him know how powerful I am!"

"I also want to teach this ignorant, self-righteous guy a lesson. Wen Tai, it's a blessing that I treated him so well before. I didn't expect him to be so ignorant." Li Shimin said angrily.

"It's just that I want to develop the economy now, but I didn't expect that these small countries don't know what to do. This makes me very worried!"

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "Should we discuss the matter of attacking Gaochang?"

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin, and said: "The main problem is that every time there is a war, I hope that you will go to be at ease. If I go without you, I really feel anxious!"

Yi Yin heard the words: "Don't worry, the emperor, as long as I need me, I can fight! Just in time, I can also go to see the customs and customs of those places in Gaochang Kingdom!"

Li Shimin said: "Speaking of it, you seem to be more belligerent than your father and me?"

Yi Yin laughed, and said: "When it's time to fight, you can't be vague. Gaochang Kingdom must fight, otherwise, he must be colluding with the Western Turks, and it will also be unfavorable to our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin agrees with this view very much.

He looked at Yi Yin and said, "As far as the countries of the Western Regions are concerned, to be honest, I want them to be part of my Great Tang."

Yi Yin heard the words and said: "Since the emperor thinks so, let him realize it."

To be honest, it was Yi Yin's intention to send Han Wei to Gaochang.

He knew that Han Wei was self-righteous, and after he left, he would definitely speak of Datang as superior. In the current situation, King Wentai of Gaochang Kingdom would never listen to Han Wei's advice.

In addition, because Han Wei was besieged by Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo for so many days, he stayed in the house and dared not come out to fight.This will definitely make Wen Tai feel contemptuous.

As a result, the negotiations between the two parties will inevitably end in failure.

At that time, if Datang wants to solve Gaochang Kingdom, Ye can be justified, not unfounded!
Moreover, he promised that Han Wei would be able to return to his original post after completing this matter, and Han Wei would work hard to do it with full confidence. In this way, Wen Tai would be even more upset after seeing it.

At this time, naturally, the negotiations between the two parties will end in failure.

Coincidentally, Han Wei fulfilled his mission this time.

He succeeded in achieving the result Yi Yin wanted.

He didn't complete the task on the surface, but he actually completed the task.

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, you should dispatch troops and generals. I think it is imperative to attack Gaochang!"

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "I think you are still a great general! And Hou Junji can still go with you."

Yi Yin heard the words and said, "Hou Junji is a good assistant!"
