Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2482 Slashing Soldiers
Shuixiong heard about it.

After hearing this, the eyes of many tribal leaders froze.

"How could King Yunhai do this and cut down our soldiers and horses, how can we protect our tribe?"

"That's right, how can this work? Our soldiers and horses have always raised as many soldiers and horses as we have. Now that the Tang Dynasty wants to reduce them, we can't agree."

"That's right, I can't agree. If the soldiers and horses are gone, we will be at the mercy of others."

"Extremely, extremely, can't agree, absolutely can't agree."

"........."

They all like the feeling of holding military power, at least this feeling makes them feel at ease.

They are not willing to reduce the number of troops. Seeing this situation, Shuixiong smiled helplessly: "Everyone, now we are fish and meat. It is up to us if Datang wants to reduce the number of troops. If we don't Agree, Datang can only use bloody means to help us cut it down, so why bother, after becoming a member of Datang, we will have no enemies, and we don't need to raise too many soldiers and horses at all. It is no different from some states in the Tang Dynasty, everyone is safe, isn’t this the life we ​​all want to live in, even if there is a famine in the future, we don’t have to plunder, and the imperial court will naturally help us with disaster relief.”

Qin Tian has already told Shuixiong about this matter, and he is also asked to test these tribal leaders first to see what these tribal leaders mean. Qin Tian does not like to use force to solve problems. If there is a way to solve it, he is still happy to do so.

After Shuixiong finished speaking, the faces of the tribal leaders became ugly.

They didn't like what Shuixiong said, but they had to admit that what Shuixiong said was very reasonable. It was very easy for Tang Jun to help them reduce their troops.

Even though they have a large number of soldiers and horses now, even more than the Tang army, facing the current Tang army, they don't have the slightest heart to dare to fight against it.

The big tent suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke in a hurry.

Seeing this, Shuixiong continued to say: "I don't know the specific situation, presumably after the Great Tang weakened our troops, he would give us some compensation. It has always been the most important thing for the people of our tribe to live a stable life. Our pursuit, which we failed to realize with Songtsan Gampo, might be realized with Datang."

Everyone is still silent, and Shuixiong's words can't be explained.

There was silence in the big tent.

After Shuixiong left, he went to Qin Tian's camp and told Qin Tian about the situation.

"My lord, those tribal leaders are not very willing, but they also know that their strength is not enough, so they didn't think about resisting. As long as the lord gives them enough benefits, they will not refuse."

If they refuse, Tang Jun can use force to make them surrender and agree.

They are not stupid, and they should not make such a fearless sacrifice.

Qin Tian nodded after listening, and said: "Over there, the king has sent a letter, and there should be a reply soon. After the reply from the imperial court comes back, let's tell them. , send people to keep an eye on them, and if someone goes wrong, don't blame this king for being ruthless."

Qin Tian did what he said.

Hearing these words, Shui Xiong trembled all over, Qin Tian said these words to him, apparently for him to warn those tribal leaders.

He nodded quickly in response.

Chang'an City.

In summer, the cicadas in Chang'an City are very noisy, and the hot wind blows in waves one after another, making people feel like they are about to suffocate.

At noon, the streets and alleys are less crowded.

And at this time, a messenger rode a fast horse into the capital and shouted loudly: "Great victory, great victory, King Yunhai destroyed Tubo, King Yunhai destroyed Tubo."

"Great victory, great victory, King Yunhai destroyed Tubo, King Yunhai destroyed Tubo."

He didn't care about the hot weather or the lack of people on the street, he just kept yelling like this. When he yelled, some people would poke their heads out of curiosity when they heard that it was Qin Tian who destroyed Tubo. These people were suddenly a little excited, but they were only excited for a while, other than that, they didn't act particularly crazy.

They were already used to such good news. When Qin Tian went out, was there a time when there was no good news?

The messenger entered the palace and delivered Qin Tian's victory report to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian just woke up from a nap, but after hearing the victory report, his whole body became very energetic.

"Successful news, Mr. has destroyed Tubo? Hurry up and show me the good news."

The destruction of Tubo meant a lot to Li Chengqian. Not long after he came to the throne, his martial arts and martial arts were pitiful, at least compared with his father, it was far behind.

If he can't make some achievements, how can he make the officials surrender, how can he let the world see his light?

The surrounding countries, those who surrendered have already surrendered, and those who were destroyed have already been destroyed. Only the existence of Tubo still has some value for him. If Tubo is destroyed, his throne will be more stable.

Li Chengqian hastily opened the newsletter and read it again. After reading it like this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great victory, it really is a great victory. Song Zan Gampo was killed, and all the tribal leaders surrendered. Although there were some people who escaped without singing praises, there was no way to cover up this great victory. Okay, okay."

At this time, Li Chengqian didn't pay much attention to the matter of praising and not singing, because from the beginning, what he wanted was to destroy Tubo, those tribal leaders and so on. It met his expectations, so he had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

And after reading these good news, he looked at some of Qin Tian's suggestions again. When he saw those suggestions, his expression changed slightly. These suggestions are all good suggestions to completely solve Tubo. If they can be successful, In less than ten years, the people in the old land of Tubo will only identify with the Tang Dynasty, and there is no such thing as Tubo in their hearts.

Li Chengqian called several important officials in the court, and then told them about Qin Tian's suggestion. After listening to these important officials, they all applauded again and again.

"Although some methods give too many benefits to those tribal leaders, if they can be successful, we should not be stingy with these benefits."

"Extremely true, these methods proposed by King Yunhai are all feasible. Your Majesty, please reply to King Yunhai quickly. The Tubo matter should be resolved as soon as possible."

These are important officials in the court, and they all agree with Qin Tian's approach. Li Chengqian nodded, and then wrote back a letter to Qin Tian.
