Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2126

In the eyes of the prince of the Huhu Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are actually wolf ambitions.

You can't get too close to them.

But even if they are all wolves, there are good and bad. In his opinion, Datang is better than Turkic.

In other words, Datang's food is better, while Turks have no food at all. If this is the case, it is better to be attached to Datang.

After the eldest prince finished speaking, those who originally supported Datang immediately followed suit.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Datang is relatively better. As long as we don't provoke them, they generally won't do anything to us?"

"Yeah, it's better to support Datang. What kind of thing is Turkic? It must not be Tang Jun's opponent."

"........."

Everyone kept talking, Hu Li pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Since the eldest prince thinks that he should support Tang Jun, then he should support Tang Jun, and send someone to invite the envoys sent by the King of Xiliang."

Once a decision has been made, it is time to act on some things.

Soon, Xiliang's envoy Chen Yu came to the main hall.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King." Chen Yu saluted, Hu Li nodded, and asked, "I don't know why the King of Xiliang sent you here?"

Chen Yudao: "It's like this, Yumen Pass was captured by the Turks, which made the Silk Road impossible, and the communication between our Tang Dynasty and your Western Regions was also interrupted, which seriously damaged the relationship between our Tang Dynasty and your Western Regions. , It also caused the loss of the interests of our countries, so the king of Xiliang hopes that we can work together to capture the Yumen Pass, and then restore the Silk Road. We can also communicate with each other. I wonder what your majesty the king thinks? "

After Chen Yu finished speaking, Hu Li smiled slightly, and said: "The Turkic seizure of Yumen Pass has indeed harmed the interests of our countries, but this Yumen Pass belongs to your Tang Dynasty, and our Huhu Kingdom sent troops to reinforce it. I don't know if there is any benefit. ?”

Although they have already decided to support Datang, but they sent troops to attack Yumen Pass, and they had to send troops. To send troops, they had to pay them for their settlement, and they had to give them military pay and food. It was a loss-making business. If the King of Xiliang refused to give them some benefits, why would he agree?

People are selfish, and the country naturally has to consider its own interests.

After Hu Li said this, Chen Yu smiled slightly. He had expected this situation a long time ago.

He is very clear about some principles of exchanges between countries. There are only interests between countries, and there are no feelings.

Only interests can make them cooperate.

"Of course there are benefits. You, Hu Liguo, will trade with our Tang Dynasty in the future. Your safety and so on can be guaranteed, and we will also exempt your people from paying taxes. If your Huliguo encounters any trouble, my Tang Dynasty will also Absolutely not standing idly by.”

Chen Yu talked about these benefits. These were given by Qin Tian when they came here. If these countries don’t mention it, then it’s best, but if some countries mention it, then they will tell them about these benefits. That's it.

Of course, those countries should not be too pushy, they only have these benefits, and they don't want more.

Of course, this Chen Yu didn't say it clearly, but if Huli, the king, was smart, he would have stopped in moderation and accepted it as soon as it was good.

After saying this, Hu Li thought for a while, then nodded with a smile, and said: "It's not that our Huhu country is greedy for these benefits, but we are a small country, and a war may destroy our country. It was destroyed, so I wanted to make up for it with some benefits, so don’t be too surprised by the envoys of Xiliang, now that we have these benefits, our Huhu Kingdom is willing to send [-] troops to help, I don’t know what to do?”

They only have more than [-] people, and sending [-] troops is pretty good. Chen Yu has no opinion on this. As long as they are not too small, as long as they are not perfunctory, these countries can do what they can.

Three thousand soldiers and horses is already considered very good.

After talking like this, the two sides talked about some details, and then Chen Yu sent a letter to Qin Tian in Liangzhou City, and he was here, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Huhu Kingdom, so that when the time comes they You can go to Yumen Pass together.

Things are going well for Chen Yu.

The other envoys were relatively good, and they all borrowed some soldiers and horses, but one envoy named Yu Bo encountered ruthless rejection.

Yu Bo was assigned to Guiwei Country.

Guiwei country is an important country on the Silk Road, and compared with some other countries in the Western Regions, Guiwei country is relatively rich, and various cultures are relatively developed.

After the Silk Road was cut off, Guiwei Kingdom was indeed affected to some extent, but relatively speaking, it was better than other countries in the Western Regions.

After Yu Bo came to Guiwei Kingdom, he told Qin Tian what he meant, hoping that they would send troops to attack the Turkic soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass.

However, after listening to Yu Bo's words, the king of Guiwei Kingdom smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "There have been some wars in my Guiwei Kingdom in the past two years, and the soldiers and horses are relatively weak, and the soldiers and horses are needed to protect the country." There are many safe places, so if you want our Guiwei country to send troops, I am afraid that our Guiwei country will not be able to dispatch troops, I am really sorry."

Hearing that the Guiwei Kingdom refused to send troops, Yu Bo was taken aback for a moment. In his opinion, if the Silk Road was opened again, it would be a very good thing for the Guiwei Kingdom. They are not willing to help now. , why?
Yu Bo was a little angry. He originally wanted to threaten the Guiwei Kingdom. After all, he knew about their Tang Dynasty, so there was no good fruit to eat. But when he thought about what Qin Tian told them when he came here, he just gave up. .

"Since your Guiwei country can't mobilize troops, then I can only go to other countries to borrow troops, and I will leave."

After talking to the king of Guiwei Kingdom, Yu Bo didn't hesitate at all, and immediately left Guiwei Kingdom, and then rushed towards Liangzhou City, all of which were arranged by Qin Tian.

And after Yu Bo left, the king of Guiwei Kingdom showed a sneer.

"Your Majesty, the opening of the Silk Road is a good thing for us, but why are you unwilling to help?"

Regarding the choice of the king of the Guiwei Kingdom, some ministers of the Guiwei Kingdom did not understand it. It is very easy to jointly attack the Turks with the Tang Dynasty, and once the Silk Road is opened, they can continue to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty. The trade has been carried out, Datang is very rich in materials, they don't want to miss such a good opportunity.

But the king of their Guiwei country refused.
