Cen saw that the old leader named Ge Yan had such a low profile, and he was too embarrassed to argue anymore, so as not to appear petty and ungraceful.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "It's easy to talk.
Chief Ge Yan is so sensible.
It seems that we It’s easy to talk in between” Ge Yan quickly greeted: "Your Majesty, please take a seat, please."
Cen Shen declined and said: "Cen is a guest.
How can we overshadow the guest?
Chief Ge, let me prepare a seat and sit down here."
After repeated invitations but being rejected, Ge Yan stopped insisting and asked others to move a seat.
Cen Shen sat down under Ge Yan.
There were ten minor leaders present.
After Lu Li died, Tashi Qiang There is no one with more power to take over the power of the clan.
Now it is decided jointly by these eleven small leaders, but Ge Yan is in charge of presiding over it.
After Cen Shen sat down, Ge Yan ordered people to serve wine and meat, and also found a few beauties to dance on the spot.
There were people playing and singing nearby, making it very lively and lively.
In this era, the nobles only use this method for entertainment.
After eating and drinking for a while, Ge Yan asked, "I don't know why your Majesty came to our tent this time."
After hearing this, Cen Shen threw down the mutton ribs, took a clean towel and wiped his hands, cupped his hands to Ge Yan and the other ten leaders and said, "Since leader Ge Yan asked, Cen will tell the truth.
I came here this time to save the lives of you and everyone in the Takashi Division.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a leader on the opposite side couldn't help but sneer and said: "Hey, it's really a strange thing in the world.
You just killed more than 4,000 of us, and now you are running over to save us.
Do you think you are treating us all like that?"
Is a three-year-old kid fooled?"
Cen Shen said sternly: "Does this leader know why my general wants to attack your tribe?
I guess I won't tell you the reason, but you guys also know it."
The leader snorted coldly: "Huh, that's because you Tang people used a trick to kill Luli Khan's brother first, and he sent troops to retaliate out of anger.
It was you who were at fault first."
Cen Shen shook his head and said: "What the leader said is different.
The destruction of the Donggeluolu tribe is a matter between countries.
Wuli Khan and my general are their own masters.
Luli Khan is Wuli Khan's.
Brother, it is understandable that he seeks revenge from my general, but why did he attack our military station in Datang?
Why did he launch a national war for his own selfish reasons?
This in itself explains He is not a qualified leader.
He deserves what he has today.
He is also the one who brought the current Tachi Strength Department into the abyss.
Now that he is here, the Tage Strength Department will still have a chance to regain it in your hands.
New students, do you want the Tachibana Club to be destroyed, or do you want the Tachibana Club to continue?
Do you still want to survive?"
With a "bang", another leader slammed the table and pointed at Cen Shen, furious: "You Tang thief, you dare to threaten me now that you are in my camp.
Do you really think that the knife in my hand is not sharp?"
Cen Shen was not afraid and did not want to give in at all.
He stared at the leader and said calmly: "This leader can kill me, but killing me will end your life.
I am the envoy of General Zhao Ziliang, who was sent by him to fight with Dear negotiating representatives, If I die here, my general will think that you want to fight the Tang Dynasty to the end.
Then he will definitely raise troops to kill the entire Taoist army to the death.
Only a small Taoist army can only survive thousands of troops.

Dare to compete with me, the Tang Dynasty?"
"You" the leader suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and rushed over and put it on Cen Shen's neck, but he didn't dare to make a move.
None of the leaders here are stupid.
They know that if this knife is really cut down, the entire Taoist power will be destroyed.
That's it.
Ge Yan came over and took off the leader's sword from Cen Shen's neck, and said calmly to Cen Shen: "Why do you need to scare us, Your Majesty?
Although the Tang army is brave and arrogant, the guys in the hands of my subordinates are not vegetarians."
Yes, as I expected, your army now has less than 9,000 men to fight, and I can still pull out 6,000 men and horses.
The difference in strength is not huge.
If we really want to fight, it is really not sure who will win.
What do you think?"
Cen Shen knew that the other party wanted to show that he was still very powerful and increase his bargaining chip in the subsequent negotiations, so he said: "What Chief Ge Yan said is not unreasonable, but Chief Ge Yan, do you know that this time our Tang Army will send troops?"
It's just Xilin who is guarding the enemy, and he is in Beiting.
Under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu, there are dozens of military garrisons, large and small, like Xilin Shouzhuo, with troops ranging from more than 10,000 to two or three thousand.
Even if we lose this time, your ministry will only win if you want to win.
The losses will also be considerable.
Do you still have the ability to fight next time or the next time?"
There are some truths in what Cen Shen said.
He exaggerated the number of troops.
However, there are indeed dozens of large and small military garrisons under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
The maximum number of military garrisons such as Shoujue is only more than a thousand, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers.
Only the Tianshan Army, Han Haijun and Yiwu Army were stationed with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Ge Yan was speechless.
He was not very familiar with the Tang army's military strength in Beiting.
If it was true as Cen Shen said, it would be as easy for the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Ta'an army as crushing an ant.
Ge Yan and the other ten leaders exchanged glances with each other, and then he said to Cen Shen as a representative: "Well, since the envoy said he came to save us, how can we save the law?
Please give me some words."
Cen Shen was shocked and said seriously: "It's very simple: first, your tribe surrenders to my general, and the leader of your tribe calls himself a subordinate to my general; second, the Chebi people in the northwest of Xuanchi are very dishonest recently, and my family The general is ordered to monitor them.
Your department must allow my general to station troops on your territory; thirdly, your department must send my general a gift of apology, a total of 10,000 horses, 10,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep."
Before Ge Yan could speak, someone from among the other ten leaders immediately shouted: "It's impossible that my powerful tribe is also a big clan.
Our leaders used to call themselves Khans, and your general is just a small Xilin Shou."
Envoy, why should our leader treat your general as a subordinate?
Also, Xuanchi Zhou A thousand miles around is the pasture for my troops.
You actually want to station troops in our territory.
This is impossible.
Do you really think we are easy to bully?
Furthermore, your appetite is too big.
You want 10,000 horses. , 10,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep, do you think we are a cash cow?
If you want these three conditions, we will not agree to any of them."
Cen Shen sneered and ignored the man.
He stared at Ge Yan and asked, "This means there is no need to talk about this matter."
Of course, Ge Yan couldn't stop talking.
If the talks really broke down, his troops would be destroyed.
He pretended to have a grimace and said to Cen Shen: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't agree to the conditions put forward by your Majesty." , the conditions proposed by the envoy are really too harsh, please give us some feasible conditions, these three conditions are really unacceptable to us."
Cen Shen asked: "Chief Ge Yan, let me ask you a question, which one is more important, life, dignity or money?"

Ge Yan was not a fool.
How could he not understand why Cen Shen asked this?
He said: "It depends on who you are.
People who are afraid of death think life is more important than dignity and money, while people who love money think money is more important than life." and dignity are both important, and some people believe that living is to live with dignity, so dignity is more important than anything else.”
Cen Shen continued to ask: "If you have to choose between these three, and you can only choose one, then I dare to ask what Chief Ge Yan and you will choose."
The leaders were very angry after hearing Cen Shen's threatening words.
Some were even so angry that the veins on their foreheads and arms popped out, and they were panting like an ox.
Of the three conditions put forward by Cen Shen, the first two are related to dignity, and the third is related to money.
No matter who you are as a human being, even if you are a shameless person, you will still have some dignity left, let alone As the leaders, Cen Shen mentioned that two of the three conditions would slap them in the face.
Of course, this group of people would not do it.
However, Ge Yan obviously knew that this was not the time to fall out, and he had to hold back, otherwise once the talks broke down, the consequences would not be something they and others could bear.
Cen Shen then said calmly: "You may not know yet, but the Chumukun tribe to the east has sent 3,000 troops and is approaching Xuanchi.
Please think about the consequences of making random decisions."
When the leaders heard what Cen Shen said, their expressions suddenly changed.
Ge Yan stabilized his mood, thought for a while and said to Cen Shen: "Your Majesty, do you think this will work?
You just arrived today and you must be very tired.
Why don't you take a rest first?
As for the three conditions proposed by your Majesty, please allow me."
Wait for the discussion to be discussed and then give an answer to the envoy.
I don’t know what the envoy thinks.”
Cen Shen also knew that this negotiation could not be completed in a short while, so he was not in a hurry, and he could just take advantage of these few days to recuperate, so he agreed: "Okay, you guys will discuss it slowly, but I will give you a warning.
My general only gave me seven days.
If I haven’t returned within seven days, my general will definitely lead an army to attack.
By then it will be too late for you to agree."
They had been delayed for three days on the way here, which meant they only had four days.
Ge Yan and others sent Cen Shen away with ugly expressions.
They had a fierce argument in the big tent, all of which centered on the three conditions proposed by Cen Shen.
The next day, Cen Shen was invited back.
When he saw the leaders, he asked, "I wonder how the discussions among the leaders went?"
Ge Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if the first item is removed, the second and third items can be easily discussed.
This is the premise."
In fact, the self-proclaiming of these barbarians has no effect or meaning to Zhao Ziliang.
As long as they are not good at calling themselves kings, he can ignore it.
This first one is indeed dispensable, but this one is very important to those who rely on strength.
It’s also very important.
If the leader of the powerful tribe wants to claim to be a subordinate to Zhao Ziliang, wouldn’t that mean They are much shorter than the surrounding tribes, but they are still a relatively strong tribe.
If they cannot have equal dialogue with the surrounding tribes on many matters, they will suffer a lot, and this is related to the face of the whole tribe, and the country has the dignity of the country. , of course the tribe also has the dignity of the tribe, so this group of people insisted on removing this article.
Cen Shen thought for a while, and then said to Ge Yan: "Okay, this can be changed.
The leader of the Tashi Strength Department has equal status with my general.
The same is true for all the surrounding tribes.
I don't think the Tashi Strength Department can do anything special."
Ge Yan and the other ten leaders looked at each other, and finally everyone nodded unanimously.
Ge Yan then said to Cen Shen: "Now let's talk about the second point.
We allow your army to be at the foot of Jinshan Mountain in the northwest of our territory.
Garrison, but the number cannot exceed one hundred.

Third, we can offer your general 2,000 cattle, 2,000 horses, and 2,000 sheep."
Cen Shen said: "The third article cannot be changed.
Without enough benefits, my general cannot persuade other ministries to withdraw their troops.
These cattle, sheep and horses are actually the second article to send them.
The number of garrison cannot be less than a thousand horses, otherwise the garrison cannot be guaranteed.
"safety" Ge Yan knew that the number of livestock to be sent up would not be less, but the garrison strength could still be obtained, so he said: "Okay, we agree to send the number of livestock mentioned by the envoy, but the garrison strength can only be five at most."
"Hundred Cavalry" Cen Shen frowned and shook his head: "No, five hundred is too little, at least eight hundred, we can't reduce it any more."
So the two sides reached an agreement, and the entire army surrendered to Zhao Ziliang.
However, his leader was equal to Zhao Ziliang in terms of status.
He allowed the Tang army to garrison up to 800 troops at the foot of Jinshan Mountain in the northwest of Xuanchi.
At the same time, he sent an apology gift of 30,000 cattle, sheep, and horses to Zhao Ziliang. .
After Zhao Ziliang received the apology and distributed the spoils, he sent troops to garrison in the northwest of Xuanchi to monitor the Cheji and Ta forces west of Jinshan.
The leaders of each department returned with their own troops after receiving the spoils
