After a long time, this elegant and noble woman slowly raised her head. Her eyes were extremely deep, as if she wanted to see the Central Plains across thousands of mountains and rivers. She said slowly: "The current situation is still that we are strong and the other is weak, so

Even if they win a game, they don't dare to mess around. Although they hold the Turkic Khan in their hands, they still have to take our emotions into consideration, so you can definitely negotiate this time..."

"Talking forcefully? Do you mean tit-for-tat without giving in at all?"

"No, you have to give in what should be given. For example, the territory of Liang State occupied by the Han people during this war. The fat they swallowed will definitely not be spit out again. Although you still have to argue with your reasons, you must have something that cannot be denied.

Prepare to come back.”

"The second thing is to redeem Jieli Khan back. This shouldn't be difficult. The other party can only ask for a higher price, but there is an old saying among the Han people that they ask for a high price and pay back the money on the spot. We just need to know that they actually

If you don’t want to keep the profit, then you can negotiate the matter through hard bargaining.”

"Then, Master, what do you think the bottom line of the Han people is?"

"According to my teacher's estimate, the other party is likely to ask for the Five Continents of Youyun. Originally, the land of Youyun of the Han people had a total of sixteen states. Over the past 100 years, we have occupied five states due to our weakness. Although this matter cannot be discussed

It is a shame for all Han people, but it is a land that some people absolutely want to take back, so these five states are likely to be their bottom line."

"Certain people? Who are the certain people Master mentioned?"

"Haha, our master and apprentice are high-level Turks, and we are very familiar with the changes in the world's forces. So Cao'er, you don't have to pretend to be curious. You should know that I am talking about Gu Tianya. I have noticed it since a year ago.

This young man married Princess Pingyang of the Li family, but he did not compete for interests like other relatives. Instead, he developed steadily, and his goals kept expanding to other places. From this point, it can be inferred that he did not want to start from a big family.

The Tang royal family has benefited from it, but they seem to want to start from scratch and find a place of their own to live their own small life."

"Little life? Master, do you mean small life?" Cao'er blinked, obviously not convinced.

The high priest laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I made a mistake. His writing does not look like he wants to live a small life. Instead, he has the heroic attitude of the Han people who are opening up their territories. This is short-term."

In just over a year, he already has two states under his control. If he gets the Youyun Continent this time, it will be no less than the Liang Kingdom. This is tantamount to saying that the world is rising again.

A character."

Cao'er blinked again and suddenly said: "Then the disciple will bite the bullet, life or death will not satisfy him. Isn't his bottom line that he wants Youyun Wuzhou? I won't agree to his request. I have the guts for him.

Just break up with me and give Jieli Khan a try. Although Jieli is not a good khan, he is the khan of all Turkic people after all. It involves the face of the entire grassland. The Han people will never

How dare you let Gu Tianya stubbornly suppress Jie Li."

"Maybe!" The high priest was noncommittal, as if he didn't want to dissuade his disciple. He just smiled and said with profound words: "Han people are smart and good at tricks. Cao'er, don't be too confident, lest you move him when the time comes.

Shoot yourself in the foot with a rock..."

Unfortunately, Cao'er looked determined and said from a distance: "Youyun Wuzhou has a large amount of land, which can help us provide some of our food. These places have been occupied by the Turks for hundreds of years. I, my disciple, cannot let the Han people ask for it back under any circumstances."

The high priest sighed and stopped arguing with his disciples about this issue.

She picked up the tea bowl for the third time and took the kettle to brew some hot water.

As the tea smell lingered and the room was lightly scented, the high priest suddenly said: "The last thing to be negotiated is probably the Han slaves. This time Jieli Khan fell into the Tang Dynasty's plan and was killed or wounded in the battle.

More than 70,000 cavalry. The cavalry does not matter, any of our Turkic herdsmen can become cavalry. The key is the more than 40,000 bullocks captured by the Han people, and the more than 50,000 Turkic prisoners held by them in Yunzhou.

These people are our people and we must never give up unless absolutely necessary..."

Cao'er's pretty face turned serious, and she said solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I promise that I will get my subjects back."

Unexpectedly, the high priest smiled bitterly and said as if murmuring to himself: "It's not that easy. There is a huge price to pay. The Han people value family affection in their bones, so they have an innate sadness for the suffering of their compatriots. But for more than a hundred years,

Come on, we Turks have been plundering the Han people. Every time we invade south, we have to capture countless people and beat them into slaves. They are Han slaves who are responsible for helping us create wealth."

She paused for a moment, looked at her apprentice seriously, and then said: "Cao'er, you haven't taken charge of the ancient temple yet, so you don't know much about the specific affairs on the grassland... Do you know how many Han people there are on the grassland?

Slaves? Do you know how many Han people have been robbed by us? Let me tell you, it must be at least 500,000. This is only counting the strong Han slaves, not those who are old and waiting to die.

"

"If you include those old people, I'm afraid even the number of 800,000 can't stop you. Cao'er, you have begun to study the Han culture, and you must also understand the bloody nature of the Han people. The Turks captured 800,000 of their compatriots.

, these 800,000 Han slaves are the deep hatred of all Han people, especially the little guy from the Gu family, who may have the same personality as his father..."

The high priest suddenly stopped speaking, obviously realizing that he had made a mistake.

Cao'er was obviously startled, and subconsciously said: "That little guy from the Gu family? He has the same personality as his father? What does this mean? Master, are you talking about Gu Tianya?"

It is a pity that the high priest refused to continue this topic. He just slowly exhaled a white breath from his mouth and said solemnly: "This negotiation between the two countries is actually a negotiation between the two major nations. Because they are

The world's enemies have been stained with each other's blood for more than a thousand years, so they all distrust each other. No one is willing to send a large number of officials into the enemy's territory, because that will easily lead to them all being detained, thereby allowing the detainer to gain

More negotiating advantages.”

"So you will choose a middle ground as the venue for negotiation, right?" Cao'er is worthy of being the heiress of the Saint, and Bingxue is indeed extremely smart and shrewd.

The high priest looked at her with satisfaction, nodded and said: "After the Han emperor and I exchanged letters of credence, the two parties agreed that negotiations would be held in a city on the border. You should know the location, because every time you want to go there secretly,

Yanmen Pass is a must pass through in the Central Plains."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "That is an important border town for the Han people, and it is also the biggest obstacle for us Turks to go south. The two sides are separated by Yanmen Pass, and at least millions of people have died over the past few hundred years.

. By setting the location of the negotiation this time, both the Han people and the Turks can feel at ease, because each other is close to their own land. If a problem arises, large armies can be dispatched in an instant. Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the negotiation will be relatively positive.

calm."

Cao'er nodded thoughtfully and said: "Because both sides have large armies pressing down on the border, we won't rely on our military strength to act arrogantly during negotiations. This place was indeed chosen well, and my disciple happened to be in Yanmen Pass to see things.

"

The Holy Priestess looked at her again, as if she had something she wanted to say but it was not convenient to say it clearly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said solemnly: "You have lived in an ancient sacrificial temple since you were a child, and you followed me to learn the traditions of the Turks.

Martial arts, now your martial arts is extremely high, so you often think highly of yourself in recent years. Once people are proud and complacent, it is easy to bully others, but I have to tell you, you must not rely on your martial arts to mess with the Han people. The other party has

The Taoist sect that has been passed down for thousands of years has countless characters hidden in the wilderness. If you negotiate with them according to the rules, the Han people themselves will definitely not be willing to break the rules. But if you use martial arts to act arrogantly, you will easily encounter the Han people.

Master."

Cao'er was startled for a moment, then smiled brightly. Looking at the relief on her pretty face, it was clear that she didn't take this advice to heart.

How could the Saint High Priestess not be able to see the thoughts of her little apprentice? So her face became more solemn and she scolded for the first time in a deep voice: "Remember, the Han people also have guardians. In the Central Plains, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and the grass is full of heroes.

.If you were beaten to death, wouldn’t it mean that the sixteen years I raised you as a teacher were in vain?”

Seeing her getting angry, Cao'er immediately put her pretty face back, then became solemn and respectfully agreed: "Master, don't worry, I won't act recklessly."

She only said she wouldn't mess around, but she didn't take action. This girl was obviously playing tricks on her, but it was a pity that the high priestess didn't notice it for a moment.

It was already sunset, and the sky on the grassland was getting dark very quickly. The high priestess didn't know why, but she suddenly looked out at the night outside in a daze. After a long time, she said softly: "

If you can see that little boy from the Gu family...if you can see that Gu Tianya, can you help me see what he looks like? It's best to ask a painter to draw a portrait and bring it back to me for a look."

Cao'er's face was full of curiosity, and she always felt that the master seemed to be hiding something in his heart.

It's a pity that the Holy High Priestess was only impulsive. In the blink of an eye, she returned to her unpredictable expression. She looked at Cao'er again and said in a deep voice: "In the early morning of tomorrow, the officials of the Turkic Khanate will arrive in ancient times."

Temple, as well as the ten major tribes on the grassland, as well as more than a hundred medium-sized tribes, they will send nobles to participate in the Tang Dynasty negotiations, and as one of the leaders of this negotiation, you must negotiate with Jie Li.

The descendants will advance and retreat together. Remember, be careful of the negotiation skills of the Han people."

Cao'er's pretty face was serious, and she solemnly said: "Disciple, I promise not to lose our national prestige."

The Holy Priestess exhaled slowly and said: "After we gather together tomorrow, we will leave immediately. I will not see you off. I will wait for you to bring back the good news at Yanmen Pass."

Cao'er's pretty face became more serious and said: "Everything will be settled within the fifteenth day at the latest. Master, you can rest assured that we Turks are still the number one force in the world. No matter how good the Han people are at sophistry, they still have to be obedient.

Lower your head and talk to us..."
