Chapter 107 Decided to make friends, the condition worsened
The leader of the Dingle tribe, the leader of the Chiling tribe and the leader of the Ligao tribe all smiled after hearing the words of Tuli Khan.
Tuli Khan glanced at the three tribal leaders and said with a serious expression: "Do you decide to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty?"
The leader of the Chiling tribe and the leader of the Ligao tribe nodded and said that he had made a decision.
As for the leader of the Dingle tribe, he said firmly: "Khan, I have decided to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty before I come, and I will never regret it!"
"Okay!" Tuli Khan glanced at the three tribal leaders again, "Since you have decided to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, you can make a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty while the Tang Dynasty envoy is here to avoid long nights and dreams."
The three tribal leaders nodded in agreement.
"Come!" Tuli Khan shouted to the outside of the door.
Soon, a guard rushed in: "What are the instructions of the Khan?"
"Go and invite General Li to come!"
"Abide by the order!"
After the guards left, the leader of the Ligao tribe said in confusion: "Khan, why didn't you invite Governor Zhang to come and discuss?"
"Governor Zhang is sick, General Li can discuss with us on behalf of the Tang Dynasty." said Tuli Khan.
Not long after, the guards led Li Zaigu into Tuli Khan's tent.
Seeing that Li Zaigu was young, the leader of the Chiling tribe and the leader of the Ligao tribe couldn't help but frowned, with doubts in his eyes, as if he was saying, can such a young general really represent the Tang Dynasty?
"Hello General Li!" The leader of the Dingle tribe quickly stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed to Li Zaigu.
Li Zaigu immediately bowed to him.
Seeing this, the leader of the Chiling tribe and the leader of the Ligao tribe immediately showed a puzzled expression.
The two looked at each other, as if asking each other why the leader of the Dingle tribe respected the young general so much?
After the leader of the Dingle tribe and Li Zaigu exchanged greetings, Tuli Khan briefly introduced Li Zaigu to the leader of the Chiling tribe and the leader of the Ligao tribe.
"I am so frank, General Li is so young and only a fifth-rank general. Can he really represent the Tang Dynasty?" The leader of the Ligao tribe coughed and questioned.
He obviously didn't take Li Zaigu seriously and said these words directly in front of Li Zaigu.
"Of course General Li can represent the Tang Dynasty!" The person who answered the conversation was the leader of the Dingle tribe.
The leader of the Ligao tribe and the leader of the Chiling tribe immediately stared at the leader of the Dingle tribe, with questions in his eyes and a little strange.
What they wondered was why the leader of the Dingle tribe spoke for Li Zaigu?
"If it weren't for General Li, the people and animals that were abducted by Dingle Tribe would not be lost and regained!" The leader of Dingle Tribe said immediately, "If there were no General Li, the leader of Xianggang Tribe would not be killed, and the revenge of Dingle Tribe would not be avenged!"
"The General Li you mentioned to me before is this General Li?" asked the leader of the Ligao tribe in surprise.
"Yes, it's this General Li!" said the leader of the Dingle tribe, looking at Li Zaigu with a respectful look.
After hearing this, the leader of the Ligao tribe and the leader of the Chiling tribe couldn't help but be respectful to Li Zaigu.
After Tuli Khan signaled Li Zaigu to sit down, he smiled and said, "General Li, Khan originally invited you to come to discuss the matter of making friends with the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zaigu was happy and said with a smile on his face: "Khan is very wise, good, very good! What are the requirements of Khan? You might as well raise it!"
Tuli Khan thought about it and did not reply to Li Zaigu immediately. Instead, he glanced at the three tribal leaders and asked, "What are your three requirements? You might as well ask for it first."
The three tribal leaders looked at each other and began to ponder.
"I didn't make any special requests, I listened to everything." The first person to answer was the leader of the Dingle tribe.
"I obey Khan in everything, too!" The leader of the Chiling tribe said.
When the Ligao tribe leader heard the other two tribe leaders say this, he had to say, "I also obey Khan."
"Yeah." Tuli Khan nodded.
He thought about it again before replying to Li Zaigu: "Ben Khan's request is very simple, there are two main points. First, if we make friends with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty must unite with us to fight against Jie Li and safeguard the interests of Ben Khan's troops."
“Other point?”
"Secondly, if you make friends with the Tang Dynasty, Ben Khan must continue to manage the tribes under his original jurisdiction."
"No problem!" Li Zaigu said without hesitation.
"General Li doesn't have to discuss Ben Khan's request with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty before making a decision?" Hearing Li Zaigu's promise so readily, Tuli Khan's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of suspicion flashed.
Did General Li agree too quickly? Is there any problem? Can he, a general, make a decision for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
The three tribal leaders were also puzzled. This kind of thing was not something he, a general, could decide.
Li Zaigu straightened his body and said slowly: "Before the general and Governor Zhang were on an envoy, the emperor had specially ordered that as long as the request made by Khan would not harm the interests of the Tang Dynasty, any request could be agreed!"
Tuli Khan nodded in understanding.
It turned out that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had already considered these things, no wonder General Li asked himself if he had any requirements.
"The Tang Dynasty is so sincere, so Khan has nothing to say, so today I will write a letter of friendship with the Tang Dynasty." Tuli Khan said with a smile on his face.
Just as they were about to discuss a specific agreement to make acquaintance, someone outside shouted: "Report!"
"Come in!" Tuli Khan said lightly.
A servant walked in quickly: "Khan, Governor Zhang's condition worsened."
Li Zaigu was surprised to hear this news. His face changed and he suddenly stood up.
Tuli Khan frowned and then said to the attendant: "Go and ask the witch doctor!"
"Yes!" The attendant hurriedly ran out. "Khan, I will say goodbye first!"
"Okay!" Tuli Khan nodded.
As soon as Li Zaigu left, the leader of the Chiling tribe couldn't help but say, "Khan, you must not let Governor Zhang have an accident. If Governor Zhang has an accident here and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty blames him, it will be difficult for us to make friends with the Tang Dynasty."
The leader of the Dingle tribe and the leader of the Ligao tribe nodded in agreement.
Tuli Khan said "yes" thoughtfully, and then said, "Let's go, I'll visit Governor Zhang."
"Abide by the order!"
...
Many people were anxious and at a loss in Zhang Gongjin's residence.
Especially Zhang Gongjin's subordinates, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
At this time, Zhang Gongjin was lying on the couch, bleeding from his mouth and nose, feeling unbearable in pain, and sweating on his forehead.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Deputy General Lu was restless and said to himself, "If the governor had a few shortcomings, how could I explain to the emperor?"
"Governor, Governor, where is it uncomfortable?" Deputy General Lu asked Zhang Gongjin at a loss.
Zhang Gongjin said in pain: "I... my stomach hurts and my whole body is uncomfortable."
"The governor insists on it, and his subordinates have sent someone to invite other doctors." Deputy General Lu frowned.
At this time, Li Zaigu ran in.
