Chapter 670 Du Gou's Algorithm

Listening to Du Gou's calculation, the Western Turks were astonished at the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, but they did not lose their confidence. The old military adviser said, "Special envoy, the Tang Dynasty is so magnanimous. How about paying 150 million guan to compensate Datang?"

Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to sell a good one. I thought that I could pay more money and less food. After all, the Western Turks guard the Western Regions, and they have accumulated a lot over the years. This time, they will attack the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Also made a lot of money.

But I didn't expect Du Gou's face to change at that time, "What? You look down on me, Datang?
Is my Tang Dynasty that bullying country?Are you short of ten or 20 silver coins?

If it is 100 million, it is 100 million. This is a gift from His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to you. Don't you give me face? "

amount……

Mo He is speechless, you don't want this free offer, are you showing off your wealth on purpose?
"After calculating the money, I will calculate the food with you.

[-] troops were dispatched, and people ate horse chews every day..."

"Wait, special envoy, as far as I know, didn't Datang only dispatch an army of [-]?" Mo Hedu asked the question in his heart.

Du Gou sneered and said, "What do you know? What is Datang's strength?
Originally, we wanted to attack your Western Turkic royal court, so we dispatched [-] troops, but the King of Chu said that [-] would be enough to chase you all over the place, so we only moved halfway, and the other half collected spoils and cleaned up the battlefield along the way. .

Is my Great Tang's strength something you can spy on?Not to mention [-], in my opinion, as a person who doesn't understand war, [-] is too much for you. "

The Turkic side blushed, but remained silent. Anyone who had seen Hong Tianlei knew that what he said was right.

"How much does a 6-strong army need to eat horse chews for two months? One person has five catties of grain a day, and an average of three hundred catties per person in two months. With 800 people down, it is already 50 million catties of grain without counting the horses. Do you have more than [-] shi?
In addition, there is our logistics brigade in charge of transportation, hehe, the army rations alone cost at least 70 shi in a big battle, you are lucky, you are not willing to pay for the defeat?

Do you think that our Datang is easy to talk, and it is fun to attack if we have nothing to do? "

Mo Hedu's face turned bitter, "But, but we don't have so much food. Our western Turkic march all eat sheep, and we are already in short supply of food."

Some general behind him muttered in a low voice, "Don't you want our 100 million sheep?"

Du Gou was furious, "What do you think I am here for? The food is the military rations you need to pay for our Great Tang army, and the money is to compensate our war damage and military expenses for sending troops.

As for the extra 100 million sheep, we have to compensate the innocent victims of the disaster in Gaochang. It is less than a year since the people enjoyed the good life of our Tang Dynasty. How do people in Gaochang see us? "

That's right, there was thunder and fire, and the West Turkic side was silent, trying to settle the score, and no one here is Du Gou's opponent.

The old Western Turkic military commander said: "Special envoy, we can pay for money and sheep, but we can only collect 20 shi for food when we search the common people in the Great Turks, and there is really no 50 shi.

Can you pay off the debt with something else? "

"Hehe, I don't know what you Turks have that can be worth 30 shi of grain."

"We are willing to send the 36 countries of the Western Regions to Datang as compensation. I wonder if it can be worth the 50 shi of grain?"

When Du Gou heard this, he was annoyed again, "This envoy said, our Tang Dynasty is not an unreasonable country.

You invaded Gaochang for no reason, killed my officers and soldiers and occupied my land. We attacked Gaochang to recover lost land.

Datang has no interest in the territory of other countries. It has nothing to do with us to attack the 36 countries of the Western Regions.What you strike down is yours.

how?Do you look down on our Datang?Think we want territory and need your help?
When we came, Senior Brother Yuanba confessed that Datang didn’t want even a single bit of it. This principle must be explained clearly. We can’t be looked down upon by the surrounding small countries because of these corners. "

... The Western Turkic monarchs and ministers are really speechless, who dares to look down on you?You all came to our door to scold the street, who is looking down on whom?

Say Datang doesn't love land?Who believes it?In whose hands is the Eastern Turkic Grassland now?It seems that the city of Goguryeo is also in your hands.

Mo He was anxious, and said in a flash of inspiration: "We have seized the woolen textile crafts from Datang. I don't know if it is possible to repay the debt?"

Du Gou shook his head again, "It's worthless if it's leaked, it's your luck that you got it, we won't ask for it anymore, and by the way, I have a message from my tutor here.

My teacher said that the wool weaving process has been leaked, and Datang will no longer buy wool from you in the future. Presumably you can also produce it yourself, so the trade between your country and our country will come to an end in the future. "

"This, this won't work. Apart from wool, we have many other things that we are very happy to cooperate with Datang. How can we end the trade here?" Mo He was anxious.

"Business matters are not in our hands, you can just go and discuss with your teacher."

Mo Heduo was secretly startled, he didn't know how expensive he was if he was not in charge of the family, if the Tang Dynasty really cut off the trade route to the west and the trade route of the Western Turks, I am afraid that the Western Turks would encounter an unprecedented disaster.

"In this way, special envoy, we have some fugitives from the 36 countries in the Western Regions. It is said that they are fugitives from the underworld of the Tang Dynasty. They are wanted by the Tang Dynasty because of the attack on Xianliang. Lan Tianhou issued a hunting document.

We dedicate it to Datang, and only ask Datang to reduce our compensation. "

Du Gou pondered for a moment, and thought that looking at the behavior of their monarchs and ministers, it seems that food is really difficult. If he pushes too much, it will be bad if the Western Turks cannot come to Taiwan.

Moreover, if the Western Turks really wanted to search the Western Regions and their own people for compensation, it would inevitably bring bad public opinion against Datang. Come on, it will be difficult to regain the hearts of the people in the future.

So after some calculations, Du Gou decided to change the treaty to give the Western Turks a break.

"Oh? The fugitive who robbed my Great Tang Immortal Food?

good!Very good, if it is really these fugitives, I am the master, and I don't want you to compensate for the food.

These thieves thought they could get away with it by hiding in a foreign country?

Little do we know that everyone in the Tang Dynasty wants to swallow their flesh and blood alive, and if they dare to touch our Datang immortal food, even if we don't want 50 shi of food, we want their lives.

We want the thieves who betrayed Tang to know that no one in the world dares to betray Tang, but there is one person who will never be tolerated by the world.

Hand over them, and 50 shi of grain will be erased from the credentials! "

Mo Hedu was overjoyed, it was a surprise that a group of useless people could be worth 50 shi of grain, he was simply too witty.

The kings and ministers of the Western Turks were overjoyed when they saw the signing of the letter of credence. Although the Western Turks were defeated in this battle, they were not without gains. At least they gained the territory and population of the countries of the Western Regions, plus the wool textile technology. The Turks can make a fortune on their own, but in the battle with the Tang Dynasty, one hundred thousand troops were lost, which is still very exhausting.

Only the old military division had some hidden worries in his heart. The fugitives from Datang were originally very useful. Only by sacrificing them.
