Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 141
Prince Yidijian's first reaction was, what nonsense is this Tang envoy talking about?
The [-] stele forest army led by Anashi, including [-] stele forest heavy cavalry, will be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty?

No matter how incompetent Anashi is, he can still bring back the Forest of Steles army that has gone like the wind in the future, right?Not to mention a mere king of Jianning, even if Datang gathers all the forces in Beiting, it will not be able to keep the Forest of Steles Army!

But looking at Shang Bo's face, Prince Gedijian suddenly had self-doubt.

At this moment, one of Prince Gedijian's confidants rushed in, and he quickly walked up to Prince Gedijian's beard bed, and said a shocking news in Gedijian's ear.

"His Royal Highness, the two thousand stele forest cavalry led by Anashi were besieged by the Tang Dynasty, and only a hundred people escaped from the Tang Dynasty!"

what!
Prince Yidijian stood up and stared at Shang Bo, it turned out to be true!
This Tang envoy is so courageous!
Prince Yidijian held on to the treasured sword at his waist, and wanted to draw out the treasured sword to hack Shangbo to death.

The entire army of two thousand stele forest cavalry was wiped out!Is Anashi a stupid pig?

This is the elite guarding the forest of steles, the Uighur elite second only to the Yazhang soldiers!
This is Prince Yidijian's painstaking efforts and countless resources to control the Stele Forest Jingqi, but it was ruined in one day!

Damn Datang!
Shang Bo had already noticed Prince Yidijian's expression, and he stepped forward and said, "There has been an agreement between Tang and Uyghur for a long time. , such an ambitious person will surely die without a place to bury him!"

This was already pointing at Prince Jiji's nose and cursing, but this made him calm down instead.

He sat back on the bed, and said coldly: "Your envoy came from a long way, isn't it just for the advantage of talking in front of this prince?"

He is worthy of being the future Uighur Khan, and also the person who brought the Uighur power to the peak in history.

To be able to calm down so quickly, Prince Jidijian really is a character.

Shang Bo supported the festival and said, "Of course I came here for the friendship between the Tang and Hui families!"

"Friendship?" Prince Yidijian added the accent on the word friendship, with a strong sarcasm in his tone.

Then Shang Bo said: "Of course it's friendship. May I ask His Royal Highness, Uighur traitors who don't listen to the Khan's ban will invade the Tang Dynasty every year. Why?"

Prince Yidijian immediately said: "Of course it is for food, slaves and goods."

Shang Bo said with a smile: "Since this is the case, if these things can be obtained easily, why would the Uighurs bother to invade the Tang Dynasty and let the border between the two countries bleed for nothing!"

Prince Yidijian laughed suddenly. He looked at Shangbo and said, "Did King Jianning send you here to pay tribute to Uighur?"

Shang Bo said seriously: "No, no, I'm here to return to Uighur to invite you to open a tea-horse market!"

Tea and horse trade?

Prince Gedijian looked at Shang Bo, this was still a new word he heard.

Shang Bo said: "What the grassland needs is nothing more than tea, cloth and grain. These things can be obtained by trading. Why go south to plunder?"

"Deal?" Prince Yidijian is half of Litehu blood, and this nation is best at doing business.

He immediately said: "For a transaction, both parties must produce the goods. I Uighur needs tea, cloth, and food from Datang, so what does Datang need from Uighur?"

Shang Bo immediately said: "Horses, cattle and sheep are all what I need in Tang Dynasty!"

Sure enough, it was a horse. Between the Uighur and Datang, there had been such businessmen doing this kind of business for a long time.

Buy tea and grain from Datang, transport them to Uighur tribes for horses, and bring them back to Datang.

However, these are all small-scale troubles among the people, and they are not large-scale at all.

But when Shangbo was formally proposed, Prince Gedijian thought about it.

Since Datang was able to wipe out two thousand stele forest cavalry, it really underestimated King Jianning's ability to integrate Longyou.

If Longyou of the Tang Dynasty was solid, sending people to the border to plunder would be death.

Even the staunchest anti-Tang faction in the Uighur country could not afford to lose a few more cavalry from the Forest of Steles.

On the contrary, if the tea-horse exchange market mentioned by Shangbo can be realized in his own hands, how much benefit can it bring?
Uighurs are not short of horses, cattle and sheep. If these livestock can be exchanged for tea, grain and cloth in a stable manner, then who would lick their blood and go to the territory of Datang to snatch them?
What's more, the destruction of the two thousand stele forest cavalry this time shows that Longyou has already revived the defense line against the Uighurs, and it will not be worthwhile to plunder.

However, Prince Yidijian still squinted his eyes, looked at Shangbo and said, "The mutual market is something that can only be decided by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, right? You are just an envoy of King Jianning, do you think that the mutual market can be traded?"

Shang Bo immediately said: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has appointed King Jianning to take full charge of the military and political affairs of Longyou. This is the opening of the mutual market in Longyou. How could the emperor not allow it?"

Regarding Shangbo's sophistry, Prince Yidijian smiled lightly. Isn't Longyou the territory of the Tang Dynasty?If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued a ban, could King Jianning still defy it?

Just when Prince Yidijian was about to refute Shangbo, he heard Shangbo say:
"The envoy heard that Prince Ye Hu of Uighur has sworn brotherhood with His Royal Highness King Jianning's elder brother, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, with different surnames."

Prince Yidijian raised his head and stared at Shangbo with deep meaning.

He suddenly realized that the identities of himself and King Jianning were so similar.

He is the younger brother of Prince Uighur, and King Jianning is the younger brother of Prince Datang.

Such a sentence from Shangbo made Prince Yidijian see countless possibilities for cooperation.

He became the leader of the anti-Tang faction not because Yidijian hated Tang Dynasty so much. On the contrary, he is proficient in Chinese and understands Han culture very well.

Yidijian rebelled against Tang only because his prince brother was pro-Tang.

Prince Yidijian, like many outstanding politicians, has a flexible moral bottom line. Obviously he can oppose Tang, but if necessary, he can also transform into a pro-Tang faction.

Shang Bo's words made Yidijian see the common interests of himself and King Jianning - seizing the heir!
After seeing this common interest, Yidijian no longer doubted the proposal of the tea-horse exchange market. King Jianning, like himself, was also expanding his strength!
This is an unbreakable alliance!
Just when Prince Yidijian was about to agree to Shangbo's proposal to open a tea-horse trade between Datang and Uighur, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the meeting hall.

"Where is Prince Edijian? We are the envoys of the great Zanpu. Is there anything more important than the alliance between Uighur and Tubo?"

Cai Banglunsa led the mission and rushed into the meeting hall regardless of the obstruction of the Uighur guards.
