The envoys sent by the Tubo Zanpu crossbow were their "all-compiled and scattered". This is an official name, second only to the great and small theories in Tubo, equivalent to the "protector" of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was in charge of Tubo's external affairs.

Since he is an envoy, he must be able to speak fluent Chinese.

After seeing Xue Shao, the envoy was very respectful. He first expressed his admiration for Xue Shao, then conveyed Zamp's gratitude and condolences, and then gave him a generous gift mainly composed of gold and jewelry.

"I am embarrassed by the noble envoy." Xue Shao said bluntly, "If I don't accept this gift, I will be disrespectful to Zanpu. If I accept it, I will be accepting bribes."

The messenger just smiled, "This is Zanpu's personal gift to Xue Shuai, and it must be harmless."

"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." Xue Shao smiled, "I have received Zanpu's kindness, but there is no need for such a valuable gift. When the noble envoy returns, I want to ask the noble envoy to bring some tea to Zanpu to express Xue's wishes."

Xue Shao said this, and the messenger couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to give up.

It’s not that Xue Shao insisted on showing integrity. Youdao means taking advantage of people’s hands. Tubo’s envoys came with a request. How could he take advantage of him first and end up at the beginning?

The Tubo envoys were obviously prepared, and failed to buy them and came up with another plan, saying: "I wonder if Shuai Xue has been in contact with His Majesty the Queen of the Great Zhou recently?"

"Yes!" Xue Shao answered very simply, "I often need to report the situation of the war to the court when I go out to the war."

"What about other than that?" asked the envoy.

"It's gone!" Xue Shao spread his hands, looking as if he was taken for granted, "Otherwise, what else can there be?"

The envoy's expression changed slightly, "Did Her Majesty the Empress have not told Xue Shuai that our dynasty has sent envoys to Shendu to make peace with the Great Zhou?"

"This queen didn't tell me, but I know a little bit." Xue Shao said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't agree to Zanpu join forces to attack Garqinling!"

The envoy blinked, "Since both dynasties have been reconciled with the alliance, is Xue Shuai considering withdrawing troops from Qinghai and Dafeichuan?"

Xue Shao's face turned right, "What's the reason?"

The envoy's face also changed and he said, "Qinghai and Dafeichuan are both our territory. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Xue Shuai to occupy it like this, right?"

"Empress, you are wrong." Xue Shao said seriously, "The military strategy is full of things, and the generals are not allowed to be ordered by the outside king. As the commander of the three armies, my duty is to lead troops to fight. The enemy I want to deal with is Garqinling, who occupied my Taozhou and attacked my Liangzhou, killed my soldiers and seized my territory. Once he turned defeat into victory, it is reasonable for Xue to rush his troops to counterattack, right?"

"In the military, this is indeed reasonable." The envoy said anxiously, "But!..."

Xue Shao immediately interrupted him: "I am just a general, only in charge of military affairs. Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan are the old nests of Garqinling. It is natural for me to attack. As for whom I am dead, it depends on my personal ability. Now, the nobleman will send these two places back with a touch of his upper and lower lips. How can I explain to the 100,000 soldiers under his command? These are all military achievements made by them with blood and life with each sword and gun. What qualifications do I have to make a decision to give him up?"

"But since the two countries have become alliances, they should not occupy each other's territory. This is the minimum sincerity, right?" the envoy said, "Will Xue Shuai do this to make the Queen and Zamp embarrassed, and will also cast a shadow on the peace between the two countries?"

"Are you threatening me?" Xue Shao frowned.

"I don't have this intention." The envoy was not surprised or busy, but said, "To be honest, this is exactly the truth."

Xue Shao laughed. He stood up and walked to the envoy and said, "It is of course a good thing for the two countries to be together. But so far, Xue has not received any accurate letters from the court, saying that the war between the Great Zhou and Tubo has ended. There is no such order to withdraw from Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan. You should know the rules of our court. As a general who commands troops abroad, how could I have the authority to make arbitrarily claim on the front line and give up thousands of miles of territory? This is a military and national event. How could a general be able to decide by himself?"

The Tubo envoy took a deep breath, "According to this point, if there were no orders issued by the Queen of the Great Zhou, would Xue Shuai not intend to give up Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan?"

Xue Shao curled his lips, "This is not my plan. This is a very serious matter of principle."

"Shi Shuai, you are pretending to be confused with your understanding!" said the envoy: "Actually, what's the point? Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan will be returned to us sooner or later. Why should Xue Shuai take the risk of offending Zamp?"

"He is not my Zamp!" Xue Shao smiled, "I am the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and of course I only accept the order of the Queen. If your Zamp is angry and I, Xue, obediently, bow to the territory of thousands of miles, what is the difference between me and a traitor? Can I still have a life after returning to the court? Compared with the two, I would rather Zamp hate me."

The envoy took a deep breath again, "Shi Shuai is so insincere, so it seems that there is nothing to talk about between Dafeichuan and Qinghai Lake?"

"There is nothing to talk about," said Xue Shao. "Zamp should have sent someone to Shendu to discuss with our court. Xue has said many times that I am just a general. How can I be the master of such a thing? Isn't this forcing us to have an unpleasant cause?"

"Okay, let's leave this matter behind for the time being." The envoy said again, "Then should you return the defected Gar Gongren and the five thousand rebels he brought to us?"

Xue Shao laughed again, "What's the reason?"

The envoy was obviously holding back his anger and said calmly: "Gar Gongren is a rebel general of our dynasty, so of course we will bring him back to punish him."

"Didn't you have already cut off the official positions and fiefs of Gar Qinling and destroyed the Gar family? Since then, Gar Gongren has no one on the plateau." Xue Shao said, "He is now a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has nothing to do with Tubo. He has no name for Gar, so he has no choice but to change his name to Lu Gongren. This is a real Han name. What do you use to prove that he is a Tubo?"

"This!..." The envoy was speechless, "Gar Gongren is the son of Gar Qinling. He was born on the plateau and grew up on the plateau. This is a foregone conclusion. Can this be changed?"

"Proof?" Xue Shao stretched out his hand at him, "There is no more Gar family on the plateau. Do you want to show me some proof?"

"Shi Shuai..." The envoy took a deep breath again, and said in a long and earnest manner, "Your willful sophistry will not benefit the relationship between the two countries at all."

Xue Shaoting smiled speechlessly, "Eunuch, it seems that there is something you still haven't figured out after all."

"What's the matter?"

"I am a general!!" Xue Shao said loudly, "General is used to kill people, not to please anyone! Whether you want people or land, you should go to God to talk to our court. Xue said that when talking about the army, he could only give a reply from the general's position. If you have to force others, it is difficult..."

"How?" the envoy asked with his eyebrows sank.

"Get it on your own!" Xue Shao spread his hands, "Anyway, the two countries have not yet officially joined forces."

"Shi Shuai, you may regret it if you make a decision so rashly." The envoy said, "Zanpu has treated Xue Shuai with courtesy!"

"I have also expressed my gratitude and kindness." Xue Shao said calmly, "Please take your gift back. Xue's reply is also asked to bring you back. I and Zamp have neither old grievances nor new hatreds. But public is public and private is private, and this must be clearly distinguished."

"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye!"

The Tubo envoy left like this.

Lou Shide kept watching Xue Shao and the envoy confront each other, and then he was sweating in a cold sweat, "Shi Shuai, is this really appropriate?"

"There is nothing wrong. I just want to make it clear." Xue Shao said, "If I hand over the Qinghai Lake Dafeichuan and Lun Gongren, unless I kill me first. But if I don't hand over it now, Tubo will definitely come to me and ask for it frequently. Now I will give him a chance and grab it back if he has the ability. If he has the ability, he will shut up from now on and stop messing with me again!"

Lou Shide was really stunned, "Blind...pse?"

"Tell me the order!" Xue Shaodouran shouted, "The whole army is ready for war!"

"yes!!"

The camp in Qinghai Lake suddenly became boiling. The horses were wearing armor and saddles, the flags were raised, the horns were clattering, and the smoke and dust from the soldiers and horses stepped out was like rolling waves, almost covering the entire Qinghai Lake.

Xue Shao's order was quickly passed to Dafeichuan, and Heichi Changzhi also took action. At this time, he also received a new force. Niu Ben, who had just come from Lingzhou, led three thousand Tuojie cavalry to step on the dust.

Niu Ben originally wanted to go to Xue Shao, but it was too far from Lingzhou to Qinghai Lake, and he had to cross the Qilian Mountains. So he came to Dafeichuan nearby and happened to meet Heiqi Changzhi and began to prepare for the war. So Niu Ben stayed happily and wanted to be a pioneer under Heiqi Changzhi's command.

Heiqi Changzhi saw that he only had one arm, so he hesitated a little.

Niu Ben laughed, turned over and rode the horse, tied the horse's reins to his broken left arm. Then he lifted the huge mace with one arm with his right hand, and rode the horse and danced. With a stick, a huge rock used to practice prying the gate was shattered by him!

The generals and schoolmen in Heiqi Changzhihe were stunned and called the gods!

Niu Ben flipped over and dropped the iron rod and threw it forward, strode forward to the black-toothed Chang's words: "General Black-toothed, I lost half of my left arm and practiced my right arm every day. Now my right arm has at least a thousand pounds of strength, no worse than the two arms before! I also learned to use a knife from my wife. When the iron rod is tired, I will change my waist and fight for another one or two hours! Can someone under the general dare to compete with someone for a sword technique?"

"No, no!" Heiqi Changzhi expressed his shock with a bitter smile, "General, he is really the general of heaven coming to earth!"

What I want is not actually because I can’t be on the rankings. But your support will give me more motivation and passion!
