Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Youlin's face was full of surprise.
You must know that the competitive relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks has never faded from beginning to end.
And because of the existence of the bug Li Chengqian in the Tang Dynasty, they also learned the method of mutual trading early.
For many years, the Tang Dynasty had imposed a ban on the Western Turks and did not allow any merchants to sell food and salt to the Western Turks.
This has also prevented Western Turks from getting rid of the problem of food and salt shortages to this day.
Even before the war started, Zhao Youlin was still worried about this matter.
Now that he heard Li Chengqian say this, he really didn't react.
After a long time, he asked in a daze: "Restore trade? Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious."
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Li Chengqian said slowly: "Besides, the trade between our two countries is also good for our Tang Dynasty."
"Although we have the Tuyuhun and the Northern Desert Turks, our livestock are still very few."
Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Youlin and said with a smile: "You can trade your cattle, sheep and horses with me for grain and salt."
This is obviously Li Chengqian's excuse.
As an enemy, how could Zhao Youlin not know the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty? How could the Tang Dynasty be short of livestock?
He also knew the same thing, considering Li Chengqian's temperament.
There is no way this guy is making a loss-making deal.
Nine times out of ten, this guy has an ulterior motive.
But Zhao Youlin didn't care too much. Anyway, the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks would bring far more benefits than losses to the Western Turks.
"OK."
"Anyway, I won't lose money on this deal."
"As long as you are willing, then I definitely have no objection."
Zhao Youlin rubbed his chest and said, "But it really hurts to hit someone with this musket. How about I give you some livestock in exchange for this thing?"
"Then you are overthinking."
"Although I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, I do not have the authority to dispatch firearms."
Li Chengqian tilted his head and looked at Zhao Youlin and said: "Otherwise Are you going to Chang'an to talk to my father?"
Talk to his father? Li Shimin?
After all, Zhao Youlin was also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.
Even though he has now become the king of the Western Turks, the fear of Li Shimin still exists.
At this moment, just thinking about Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't help but shudder.
This makes it even more difficult to negotiate with Li Shimin.
And this is normal. After all, is there anyone in the Tang Dynasty who is not afraid of Li Shimin?
Even counting Li Chengqian, I'm afraid I won't be able to find three people.
And looking at Zhao Youlin's cowardly look, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.
"Look at what you look like."
Li Chengqian joked: "With my ability, why don't you use it?"
"forget it."
Zhao Youlin waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "Your father is much scarier than you."
"That's true……"
Thinking of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian also felt a little homesick.
Of course, in addition to his father and mother, he missed his two wives even more.
All in all, Su Qingling will give birth in two months at most.
Thinking of this, he felt like returning home.
And seeing what this guy was thinking, Zhao Youlin said bluntly: "Anyway, it's nothing."
"If you miss home, just leave first."
"Get out of here first!"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Looking at you like this, can I leave?"
"Besides, your team has been dispatched by me."
"Even if you want to go north, you have to wait until Jia Yanzhang comes back."
"I'm going to feel aggrieved for a few days and serve as your bodyguard for a few days."
"When Jia Yanzhang comes back, I will return eastward and go home."
explain
At this point, Li Chengqian paused, then pointed at Zhao Youlin and said: "Let me tell you, these are not free."
"After all, young master, I left my family and career and my wife who is about to give birth to help you."
"Not to mention, young master, I am still here to save your life."
Li Chengqian pointed at Zhao Youlin and threatened fiercely: "If you don't get me a good horse of ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand of gold as my son's birthday gift later, I will bring my brothers and kill them back so that you can know Hua'er."
red."
"Chengchengcheng."
"Isn't it just ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand good horses?"
Zhao Youlin curled up his lips and said, "I'll have someone send it to you when you get back."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt a little stupid.
He was obviously joking with Zhao Youlin when he said that, but he didn't expect that this guy actually meant to take it seriously.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Really?"
"Of course."
Zhao Youlin imitated Li Chengqian's behavior just now and said, "Do you look at me like I'm joking?"
"Oh, well, I have to thank you very much."
Li Chengqian stood up slowly and said: "Okay, you can rest first, I have to go out and take a look."
After speaking, Li Chengqian stood up and walked out of the tent.
Looking at this guy's back, Zhao Youlin was lost in thought.
…
For the next ten days, Li Chengqian stayed here.
Besides taking care of Zhao Youlin and settling his wounded soldiers, he also walked around and looked everywhere.
In his memory, the southern part of the Western Turks can be regarded as a treasure land.
Although nothing can be seen now, in a thousand years, this place will become a battleground for military strategists.
In addition to the minerals contained underground, there is also a unique geographical location.
Throughout history, countless people have wanted to get here. Even in Li Chengqian's era, two powerful countries used force to attack it.
But the final result was a complete defeat, and they were even defeated. It dragged it out of recession.
From this, this place also got a resounding name, Imperial Cemetery.
And Li Chengqian also remembered that it seemed that the Tang Dynasty also launched military force in this area in the future, and not long after that battle, the Anshi Rebellion occurred, which turned the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.
However, past lives are past lives, and this life is this life.
If Li Chengqian is here in this life, none of that will happen.
Li Chengqian slowly bent down and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground.
Then, he let go of his hand and let the sand slip from his fingertips, secretly saying: "Sooner or later, I will include you in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and make you the first frontline of the Tang Dynasty against the West..."
Just when Li Chengqian was talking secretly.
A soldier suddenly ran over from behind: "Your Highness, General Zhang is back!"
"came back?"
Li Chengqian also showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He clapped his hands quickly, and then followed the soldier towards the camp.
At this time, Zhang Xiao and Jia Yanzhang had also entered the camp.
When they saw Li Chengqian, they both saluted.
"General, please pay homage to His Highness."
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
The two of them were beating their chests together in a salute and cupping their hands in front of each other. It looked so awkward when they were put together.
But Li Chengqian didn't bother to care about this.
He stepped forward and helped the two of them up one by one, and then looked them up and down.
Compared with before setting off, the two of them had clearly lost a lot of weight.
Especially Zhang Xiao's handsome face had a hideous and terrifying scar.
"You two did a good job."
Li Chengqian patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Without you, this battle would have been much more difficult for us."
"Your Highness is so complimentary."
Zhang Xiao said meticulously: "Without His Highness's ingenious calculation, how could we have found the enemy's rear area?"
