The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 678 Add Two Hundred Miles

Chapter 678 Add Two Hundred Miles

As soon as the East Turkic son's words came out, even the calm Li Er couldn't sit still completely.

The land of nine bends in Hexi is a treasure land.

The weather is smooth all year round, and the supplies are very abundant, which is very suitable for raising cattle and sheep. The reason why the Turks can grow so fast is that they have grasslands to rely on.

Li Er couldn't help thinking in his heart: "If my Tang Dynasty can own the land of Jiuqu in Hexi, then naturally I can let the people of Datang raise cattle and sheep, and my Datang will definitely not ask for it from anyone in the future!"

Moreover, the strategic significance of the Hexi Jiuqu Land is very important to Datang. If this place can be captured, as long as heavy troops are sent to guard it, it will directly eliminate the source of the Turkic attack on Datang.

The Land of Nine Songs in Hexi is definitely the top priority for Datang.

When the envoys of the Western Turks heard that the son of the Eastern Turks actually wanted to directly dedicate the land of the Nine Songs in Hexi to the Tang Dynasty, they felt very heartbroken: "Is the person from the Eastern Turks not sick? They actually want to give away that piece of geomantic land Giving it to Datang, wouldn’t that mean breaking your own arm!!”

The envoy of the Western Turks swallowed, he did not expect the son of the Eastern Turks to be so crazy.

The Land of Nine Songs in Hexi is a treasure land that the Western Turks have been coveting for a long time, not to mention that the territory is close to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If the land of Nine Songs in Hexi is obtained, then if the Western Turks want to attack Datang in the future, it will naturally be very easy .

"But now the heir of the Eastern Turks actually wants to sacrifice the Nine Songs of Hexi to the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this against us Western Turks!"

The envoys of the Western Turks now also understand the thoughts of the East Turkic prince.

"If we get the support of Datang, I am afraid that the Eastern Turks will be unscrupulous on the grassland. By that time, we, the Western Turks, will not be able to contain them! If we don't fight for the protection of the Tang Dynasty at this time, I am afraid that the grassland will be destroyed in the future." Only the East Turkic family is left!"

The envoys of the Western Turks calmed down and finally accepted this crazy idea.

Then he respectfully said to Li Er: "My Majesty, in order to atone for the sins of the people of Datang, we Western Turks are willing to cede all the two hundred miles north of the Hetao area to Datang, just to make our Western Turks a A vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!"

The envoys of the Western Turks directly dropped a blockbuster, although the Hetao area is not as rich in resources as the Hexi Jiuqu.

"But if the range of two hundred miles to the north is added, I'm afraid King Tang will not be able to resist this temptation."

Compared with the eastern and western Turks, the sphere of influence is extremely large, and the entire Turkic steppe is their property.

The Turks did not have the concept of a country. As nomads, although the land was rich, they could not use it reasonably.

But these lands are completely different in the eyes of Datang people. If Datang can obtain this geomantic land, it will definitely raise the national power to a new level.

When the ministers below heard what the Western Turkic envoy said, they couldn't help swallowing in surprise.

Cheng Yaojin asked with some doubts: "Yuchi stupid, did I hear correctly? The barbarians from the Western Turks said that they would give me all the Hetao area and the two hundred miles to the north? My God, this But what a huge area!"

Yu Chigong also doubted his own ears very much, and stammered: "If I heard correctly, it seems to be true. These Western Turkic barbarians are willing to sacrifice so much territory to my Great Tang. My Great Tang It's really about to rise!"

Qin Qiong, a very calm minister, was also surprised at the moment and said: "If Datang really gets this area, I am afraid that it will definitely threaten the entire Turkic grassland in the future. The strategic significance of this area is simply too important for Datang! "

The princes and ministers behind them discussed each other one after another: "I heard it right? This Western Turk is so generous? If my Tang Dynasty really got this geomantic treasure, wouldn't it directly restrict the whole world in the future?" Turkic grassland?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. If the entire [-] miles to the north of the Hetao area becomes our Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, I'm afraid not only the Turks, but even some small border countries will be directly within the attack range of our Tang Dynasty. It's a godsend. !"

"My Tang Dynasty lacks cattle and sheep. If I get this precious land at this time, I am afraid that it will be rich in cattle and sheep in the future. It will be a great thing for the people of Datang!"

"Not only that, the land of Nine Twists in the West of Hexi was originally a land of geomantic omen, but the territory ceded by the envoys of the Western Turks is several times larger than that of Nine Twists in the West of Hexi, I am afraid that the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty is about to rise at this time! "

These generals all understand the importance of territory.

Although Datang has now unified the entire Central Plains region, the enemies in the north are still staring at Datang.

If Datang could get the territory ceded by the Western Turkic envoys, it would naturally make up for the lack of military threats to many small countries in the north.

This strategically important treasure land is now simply a piece of sweet pastry in the eyes of these ministers.

At this time, Li Er couldn't sit still at all. As the status of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er was already quite a headache for the northern region.

There are not only two powerful Turkic forces, but also many small countries eyeing Tang Dynasty.

Although Datang now has a Beiliang army of 30, if the front in the north is too long, the Beiliang army will not be able to deter all these small countries in time.

If the Hetao area and the two hundred miles to the north are obtained, and the city is successfully built, a large army will be recruited to suppress it in the future. I am afraid that the north of the Tang Dynasty will be peaceful in the future.

As an emperor, expanding the territory can be said to be the long-cherished wish of every emperor. Now Li Er has a good opportunity to threaten the entire north without a single soldier.

I'm afraid nature will not easily watch this sweet pastry slip away.

After hearing the words of the Western Turkic envoy, the eldest son of the Eastern Turks had a very distorted expression.

He originally thought that he was very generous in presenting the land of Hexi Nine Songs to the Tang Dynasty, but this Western Turkic was not at all inferior.

The Hetao area, plus the territory of two hundred miles to the north, even the East Turks have been coveting for a long time.

This Western Turk was able to be ceded to Datang so easily.

"It seems that the Western Turks will definitely not give up in order to gain the support of the Tang Dynasty! If I, the Eastern Turks, really fail to win this good opportunity, I am afraid that I will be completely wiped out by the Western Turks in the future!"

The eldest son of East Turkic gritted his teeth, hesitating very much in his heart.

And the Goguryeo envoys behind him were simply ashamed.

"I didn't expect that the territory ceded by these Turks is bigger than the border of my Goguryeo!"
