Chapter 174 The Benefits of the Conqueror

General Qin Qiong was also very concerned about this matter. After the meeting, he hurriedly wrote a memorial. Of course, General Qin was different from others. Others were interested in this matter purely to make money. He did it for Liangzhou City.

of these refugees.

Because of the war, many people used to make a living on the grasslands. Now they have lost the business channels they depended on for survival. They can only run to Liangzhou City as refugees. If this matter is confirmed, the major families will not buy

With how many pastures they have, they will definitely have to hire people nearby, so they may have a way to resettle these hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Although only two meals of gruel are provided every day, it is also a very difficult matter for the army's finances, but it cannot be ignored. If these people are allowed to starve to death, they will probably start to rebel.

Every disaster victim started to rebel against the imperial court from the time of hunger.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty, since the secret report was sent that day, Prime Minister Midu has been like an ant on a hot pot. On the one hand, he sent people to carefully inquire about the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, he strictly demanded that his subordinates

They were locked in the military camp, and no one could leave the military camp. If it aroused the resentment of the Tang army, the war would probably restart.

In the past few days, the Tang army has been sending out patrols, and the number of them is not very large. They have already approached Prime Minister Midu's military camp. Seeing that Prime Minister Midu does not allow the troops to come out, these patrol teams are becoming more and more courageous. They are already

We were less than three hundred meters closer to the military camp.

Prime Minister Midu also knows that this is a shame, but in the current situation, no matter how provocative the Tang Dynasty's army is, we will have to knock out our teeth and swallow it. If we let the Tang Dynasty's army seize even a little bit,

Chances are, they are very likely to restart the war. Taking Tuyuhun as an example, can we hold on?

On the thirteenth day, Prime Minister Midu finally received a reply from the general. He was so happy that he almost shed tears. This is the ultimate mastery of psychology. In these thirteen days, since then,

From the Prime Minister on down, everyone in Tuyuhun is living on a hot pot, every one of them is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They don’t know what the Tang Dynasty thinks. Now they are finally waiting for a reply.

The letter was very general. It neither agreed to nor disagreed with the negotiations. It just said that the Tang army wanted to eat meat and hoped that Tuyuhun could send them 5,000 cattle and sheep.

The cattle and sheep on the grassland were worthless. A large tribe could get them, but why should they give them to the Tang Dynasty people?

"It's so deceptive. We didn't answer a word of the questions we asked. We were actually asked to give them 5,000 cattle and sheep. If we gave them these 5,000 cattle and sheep, would there be 8,000 more in the future? Really.

Have we been taken advantage of?"

The people under my command immediately became unwilling. It doesn’t matter if they want these cattle and sheep. It’s not valuable to them, but you have to tell the truth. We didn’t even mention the matter we raised. We asked for five thousand if we opened our mouths.

Cow and sheep, what does this mean?

"Prime Minister, this may be a test by Datang. They want to see how much we want to negotiate. The last time we met, our attitude may have displeased them, so they think this time even if we start

Negotiations may not be abandoned halfway, so these five thousand cattle and sheep are more to see our attitude."

Among these counselors, there are also some who hold different views.

Prime Minister Midu sighed. Regardless of whether his subordinates agree or disagree, they no longer have any choice. The entire grassland has been filled with smoke and smoke by Li Xiang, and each tribe is licking its own wounds, so no matter

Whatever demands Datang makes, in order to start this negotiation, we have to endure it first, otherwise we won't even have a chance to get to the negotiating table.

"Go and gather all the cattle and sheep for them, and then send someone to tell them that we will send them to Liangzhou City in five days, and I, the Prime Minister, will write a third letter."

Prime Minister Midu felt that his self-esteem had been violated, but he still had to endure this violation. He knew the actual situation very well. When your country loses its ability to resist, you must put aside your personal dignity. If

If you care about individuality, then just wait for more people to die on the grassland.

In the past few days, everyone has seen that many places on the grassland are wearing sackcloth and mourning, and various forms of funerals are being held. Although some people in the Tang army also died, compared with our injuries,

Their damage was too small.

In fact, the loss on the surface is not the most important. The most important thing is everyone's psychological fear. The Royal Cavalry has been found. Although Khan is trying hard to suppress this matter, paper cannot cover the fire after all.

, the common people also know the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army. The Tang Army, which they looked down upon in the past, has developed by leaps and bounds this time. When many people talk about the Tang Army, they cannot suppress the fear in their hearts.

When Prime Minister Midu announced his decision, although many of his subordinates were unwilling, they could not come up with other methods. After all, the negotiation strategy was set by the Great Khan, and we had to find a way to complete it.

Liangzhou City Wall.

"Your request is really right. If I had known earlier, I should have listened to you. We should have asked them for 20,000 cattle and sheep."

Cheng Chumo said with a grimace. When he first proposed this condition, everyone thought Li Xiang was crazy and playing with fire. Now they finally understand. People who play with fire win, and they win very well.

scenery.

"You people are all petty. The so-called winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. No matter how prosperous Tuyuhun was before, now they dare not continue to fight with us. So no matter how excessive our demands are, they will find a way to satisfy them. If I didn't guess

If it's wrong, Prime Minister Midu will send you a third letter."

Li Xiang also said cheerfully that the generals on the city wall really admired Li Xiang to the extreme. We asked for cattle and sheep with red lips and white teeth. We thought we would be rejected by the Tuyuhun people, but we didn't expect them to give us directly.

It was delivered, and judging from the appearance, they were definitely not sickly ones. They were all in the prime of life. On the contrary, we were a little reluctant to eat them.

The third letter from Prime Minister Midu did come. The general immediately ordered all the young generals to go to the big tent to discuss matters. These people stopped looking at the cattle and sheep on the city wall and waited to eat roasted lamb legs in the evening! This is

The perks of the victor...
