Chapter 169: Negotiating the plan, visiting the German language

In the residences of Tang Jian and An Xiuren, Li Zaigu, Su Dingfang, and Min Pohu gathered.

This time, Li Zaigu brought ten soldiers from Tiance Mansion into Tieshan together, including Min Pohu, He Wen, Zhang Zheng and others.

People from Tiance Mansion are better at sabotaging the enemy.

"General Li, when will you take action?" Tang Jian said in a bad voice and asked Li Zaigu carefully.

"Report to Duke Ju, wait before the time comes." Li Zaigu said in a low voice.

Tang Jian said lightly, his eyes turned to Su Dingfang and asked, "How is General Su prepared?"

Su Dingfang also whispered: "Pohu has already found out about Tieshan's granary. You can do it when it is late at night."

"As soon as General Su took action, General Su would take the two envoys out!" Li Zaigu looked at Tang Jian and An Xiuren and said in a deep voice.

Tang Jian and An Xiuren nodded slightly.

"Pohu, tell me what I found out." Su Dingfang said, looking at Min Pohu next to him.

Min Pohu took a step forward and bowed and whispered: "The subordinates have clearly found out that the granary of Tieshan is in the northwest corner of Tieshan. There has not been any clear investigation on how many soldiers guarding the specific ones are, but from the perspective of the defense, the number of people will not exceed one thousand."

"Without knowing the number of people on the other side, is General Su confident of burning the granary of Tieshan?" Tang Jian said with some concern.

"Reported to Duke Ju, the purpose of our plan to attack Tieshan Granary is not to burn it, but to divert Jie Li's attention so that he can send troops to reinforce. In other words, it doesn't matter whether the granary can be burned, just divert Jie Li's attention." Su Dingfang responded.

Tang Jian nodded as if he understood and said, "General Su adopts the strategy of "speaking east and attacking west."

"What Duke Ju said is very true!" Su Dingfang smiled slightly.

"It is not enough to attack Tieshan's granary alone. It is necessary to attack important measures in Tieshan at the same time. Tieshan must bloom everywhere, so that Jie Li will have no time to take care of it." Li Zaigu said again.

"General Li's plan is very good!" An Xiuren suddenly said with a smile on his face, "Jie Li and Zhao Deyan leave us here. The purpose is very obvious, that is, we want to take us as hostages, but we just take advantage of this opportunity to take the plan."

"General An's words are reasonable!" Li Zaigu continued.

Tang Jian and Su Dingfang nodded slightly and expressed their agreement with what An Xiuren said.

"Bohu, have all the important measures in Tieshan figured out where they are?" Li Zaigu asked Min Pohu.

"Return to the general, I have already figured it out!" Min Pohu said respectfully.

"good!"

Li Zaigu nodded and then said, "You go and spy again to see if Jie Li shows signs of dispatching troops."

Min Pohu bowed and said "As for the order", and retreated.

Li Zaigu still had something to say to Tang Jian, An Xiuren and Su Dingfang. At this moment, He Wen, who was guarding outside, stepped in quickly: "Report! Zhao Deyan asked for a meeting!"

Li Zaigu and others looked at each other tacitly, as if saying, why is Zhao Deyan coming? He is coming at this time, and he is probably not motives.

Tang Jian coughed dryly and said to He Wen: "Call him in!"

After He Wen withdrew, Zhao Deyan soon walked in.

"Deyan has met two envoys of the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Deyan bowed to Tang Jian and An Xiuren, and said with a smile.

He casually glanced at Li Zaigu and Su Dingfang without paying much attention.

Li Zaigu and Su Dingfang were both dressed as ordinary servants, and Zhao Deyan never expected that they would be brave and resourceful generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Jian and An Xiuren bowed their hands to return the gift, and then Tang Jian signaled Zhao Deyan to sit down.

"I'm really sorry to disturb the rest of the two messengers!" Zhao Deyan said with a smile again.

"It's okay, we are discussing the peace talks with Khan, and there is no rest yet." Tang Jian squeezed out a smile and said, "What's the point of doing when Mr. Zhao is visiting?"

Tang Jian deliberately told Zhao Deyan what they were discussing without any concealment in order to dispel his random suspicion.

"Deyan has nothing particularly important. He came here to see if the two messengers live comfortably. If you have any needs, please give Deyan instructions." Zhao Deyan said with a smile.

"If you have time, Military Advisor Zhao, we will definitely trouble Military Advisor Zhao if we need it." Tang Jian said with a smile.

"No trouble, just give me instructions." Zhao Deyan smiled and said, "The two messengers can stay in peace and think that they are at their own home."

Tang Jian and An Xiuren smiled faintly and said nothing.

Li Zaigu and Su Dingfang looked at the hypocritical Zhao Deyan, and their eyes shrank slightly, passing by the cold coldness.

Thinking of Zhao Deyan's fact that he used the Han people as his shield, Li Zaigu and Su Dingfang really wanted to cut Zhao Deyan into pieces.

"The Khan just drank too much and lost his composure at the banquet and neglected the two envoys. The Khan felt more and more uneasy when he thought about it. He ordered Deyan to come and apologize to the two envoys again. I hope the two envoys will be forgiven." Zhao Deyan said, and suddenly stood up and bowed to Tang Jian and An Xiuren.

Tang Jian and An Xiuren guessed that Zhao Deyan's purpose of doing this was to appease them so that they would not leave Tieshan.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao can go back and tell Khan that we will not care about Khan. We also understand that Khan, as the overlord of the grassland, will naturally get angry when he hears some unsatisfactory conditions. This is human nature. Khan can get angry in front of my faces, which means that Khan is straightforward and honest, and will not do evil tricks to harm others."

"What Duke Ju said is extremely true!" An Xiuren forced out a smile and said.

"The two envoys are indeed a large number of adults. Deyan will definitely report to the great khan." Zhao Deyan said with a smile on his face.

"I'm working hard." Tang Jian said politely.

"Deyan has something to discuss with the two envoys this time." Zhao Deyan suddenly put away his smile and said seriously.

Tang Jian and An Xiuren couldn't help staring at Zhao Deyan in doubt.

"This place is far away from Chang'an, and it is snowy again, so dangers are prone to occur on the road. The Khan meant that the two envoys sent 100 people back to Chang'an to report to the Emperor Tang about the results we discussed, and requested that the Emperor Tang accept the Khan's request and modify the conditions proposed by the Emperor Tang." Zhao Deyan continued.

Tang Jian and An Xiuren frowned and immediately fell down.

Zhao Deyan was obviously worried that too many Tang people would stay in Tieshan, which would be unfavorable to them. It also shows that the Tang people left behind now are equivalent to hostages.

Tang Jian saw through and said nothing: "Can we ask us to discuss this matter first before replying to Khan?"

"Okay, but I hope to give a reply as soon as possible. The two messengers and the Tang people who stayed do not have to worry about their personal safety. Regarding your safety, the Khan will send soldiers to protect you." Zhao Deyan said.

Tang Jian said "yes" lightly.

"Deyan will not disturb the two envoys' rest. I will come to visit the two envoys tomorrow and say goodbye first." Zhao Deyan said as he bowed his hand, then turned around and left.

"Hmph! Jie Li and Zhao Deyan want us to reduce the number of people by 100. This is clearly a matter of taking us as hostages."

As soon as Zhao Deyan left, Su Dingfang couldn't help but speak.
