At this time, Shangguan Yi came to find Li Min and complained to Li Min...09r.
Although Li Min was the governor of Jiannan Road, the person in charge was actually Shangguan Yi.
But this time, the reason why Shangguan Yi came to complain was because there were simply not enough funds to train and cultivate 50,000 new troops.
Do you want to say that King Li Min of Shu is rich?
Of course there is.
Li Min, the king of Shu, owned a Chinese trading company. It could be said that he was making money every day. How could he have no money?
But all this money belongs to the King of Shu.
You can't ask the king of Shu to spend money to train the army.
If this is the case, it will actually give people a clue.
Oh, this is my army of the Tang Dynasty.
Why do you, King Shu, pay for training out of your own pocket?
Are you trying to win people's hearts and turn Datang's army into your own private army?
Then the problem comes, now the entire Jiannan Road is under Li Min's management.
They can keep 70% of the tax revenue from Jiannan Road for development, and the remaining 30% should be turned over to the court.
So, is 70% of the tax revenue from Jiannan Road enough for them to train new troops?
If all of it is used to train new troops, it will naturally be enough.
But Shangguan Yi can't spend all his money on this.
If the Jiedushi government had no money, many tasks would not be carried out at all.
Recruiting 50,000 new troops at once really gave Shangguan Yi a headache.
"Your Highness, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. We really don't have the money to train these 50,000 troops! Your Highness, please think of a way!"
Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min couldn't help but smile.
Then he said to Shangguan Yi: "Don't worry, if we in Jiannan Road don't have enough money to train these soldiers, then let Tuyuhun help us pay for it."
Let Tuyuhun pay to help them train their troops?
After hearing Li Min's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face.
"Your Highness, is it too bullying to do this?"
Tuyuhun had just been harmed, and people had to pay hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to compensate.
And now they are asking people to pay to help them train their troops?
Your Highness, you are addicted to bullying!
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "No, they are asking for money to help us train soldiers. Now you just recruit soldiers and wait for good news."
…
Tuyuhun has been miserable recently.
First, he was encouraged by Tubo to attack the Tang Dynasty, and then he was stabbed in the back by Tubo.
They and Tubo were both defeated. At this time, the Tang Dynasty directly sent troops and occupied their capital.
After the failure, they had to compensate Datang with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
In this way, Tuyuhun's strength gathered and declined.
However, at this moment, bad news was circulating inside Tuyuhun.
It is said that in the last war between Tubo and Tuyuhun, there were heavy casualties.
Their 50,000 soldiers and horses were completely wiped out in Tuyuhun.
This time, Tuyuhun was determined to take revenge and prepared to mobilize his army to directly destroy Tuyuhun.
After hearing the news, there was a panic inside Tuyuhun.
There is really no way for them not to be frightened.
The Tubo people are all demons.
The last time they attacked Tuyuhun, they killed all the villagers in their villages.
If we attack again this time, I don't know how many people will die.
There was a turmoil in Tuyuhun, and many people on the border fled one after another.
At this time, Tuyuhun Khan Fushun was also shocked and shocked.
Fu Shun is a person who is close to the Tang Dynasty and is afraid of the Tang Dynasty.
He is not as ambitious as his father.
To put it bluntly, this person has a bit of a soft personality.
Therefore, Fushun was very frightened when he heard that Tibet was about to invade Tuyuhun.
In the last battle with Tibet, almost all of their 30,000 troops were wiped out.
Datang's attack once again cost them more than 10,000 soldiers.
And they Tuyuhun, with all their plans, only had more than 50,000 troops.
Two battles had almost killed them.
It’s not that there are no young people in Tuyuhun now.
But it is already very rare.
If all these young men are dragged out to fight, once they are defeated, they will really have no young men left in Tuyuhun, and the country will be destroyed.
Fushun was worried and very afraid.
At this time, Fushun's wife said to Fushun: "Khan, Tubo is coming to attack us. Since we can't resist it, why don't we ask for help from the Tang Dynasty? You know, we are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!"
After hearing his wife's words, Fu Shun's eyes lit up, but he soon said in frustration: "But water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near! By the time the Tang Dynasty sends troops, I'm afraid a few months have passed. By then, only
I’m afraid we’ve already perished as a nation!”
Well, the Tang Dynasty really couldn't send out troops that fast.
In the original historical trajectory, this was how Tuyuhun perished.
Fushun's wife smiled slightly and said, "Why did Khan forget His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road?"
This time, Fu Shun's face finally showed a look of joy.
Yes, His Highness the King of Shu is very close to them. If the King of Shu is willing to send troops to assist them, there will definitely be no problem.
So Fushun immediately prepared a generous gift, and then sent an envoy to Yizhou quickly to ask for help from the King of Shu.
This time, Fushun was really scared.
The envoys sent traveled day and night and arrived in Yizhou in just one day to ask for help.
After receiving the letter from Tuyuhun Khan Fushun, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.
I'm afraid all this is His Highness's handiwork, right?
Well, spread the news that Tibet is going to attack Tuyuhun.
At this time, there were not many soldiers in Tuyuhun territory, and there was no way to resist the Tibetan offensive.
In this case, Tuyuhun must ask them for help.
Then they naturally sent soldiers into Tuyuhun territory to help them resist the Tibetan attack.
However, since we have sent troops, can Tuyuhun allow us to send troops in vain?
You must be responsible for the military pay and food and grass, right?
This time, it was Tuyuhun who took the initiative to invite them in.
However, when the territory of Tuyuhun is safe, they will retreat, right?
How can they stay stationed in Tuyuhun for a long time and let Tuyuhun keep paying to help them train their troops?
Although Shangguan Yi was resourceful, he still couldn't figure out how to do this.
But since His Highness has come up with this idea, there must be a way to do it. All he has to do is wait and see.
After receiving Tuyuhun's request for help, Jiannan Road did not immediately agree to their request.
If you agree too readily, it will not make them feel precious.
After Tuyuhun's envoy repeatedly begged and promised various benefits, Jiannan Road reluctantly agreed.
The Tuyuhun envoys were greatly surprised and hurried back to reply to the good news to their Khan.
