The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 680 Volunteering to Build a City
Chapter 680 Volunteering to Build a City
And the envoys of the Western Turks have long been like pig livers, and the land of nine bends in the west of Hexi is four hundred miles to the west. Of all the people present, none of the envoys of the Western Turks understand the importance of this territory.

If the Tang Dynasty really accepted these lands in the future and directly built cities and stationed troops on them, then the Western Turks would be completely shut down.

These four hundred miles of land are all bordering on the Western Turks. If Datang wants to attack the Western Turks in the future, it will be a piece of cake!
The envoys of the Western Turks were very anxious.

"I have given away so many benefits, but if I still haven't obtained the opportunity to be included in the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't I be digging my own grave? What's more, the Eastern Turks are very dangerous, and they actually directly ceded the land bordering the Western Turks. To Datang, this is undoubtedly not to let Datang restrict me to the Western Turks!"

"If the Western Turks don't get the chance to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty at this time, I'm afraid they will be destroyed by the forces of these two parties on the Turkic Grassland in the future!"

The Turkic envoy gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to report to the King of Tang that I, West Turk, have felt very guilty towards the people of Datang, and now I voluntarily cede all the land five hundred miles east of the Hetao area of ​​our West Turk to Datang." , and we Western Turks voluntarily help Datang build the city!!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers at the banquet immediately fell silent.

After a while, there was a bang and a heated discussion erupted.

Li Er also suspected that his ears had misheard, and asked the envoy of the Western Turks: "You said that you Western Turks voluntarily built a city for us in the Tang Dynasty?"

The envoy of the Western Turks said respectfully: "Yes, King Tang, I, the Western Turks, not only ceded all the five hundred miles east of the Hetao area to Datang, but also willing to build three cities on it! Bring our Western Turks into a vassal state!"

It exploded, and the discussions at the banquet exploded in an instant.

It also completely ignited Li Er's heart.

After all, the Turks are nomads and have no concept of a country. No matter how much land they cede, it is nothing more than a deserted grassland.

Although the resources are abundant, in the future, Datang will need money and people to build those lands into cities.

If not, the people of Datang would naturally not want to go to the deserted grassland.

After all, it borders the Turks from east to west, and the people are naturally very worried whether these barbarians will suddenly rob them.

In the eyes of the common people of the Tang Dynasty, these Turkic barbarians were already cannibalistic demons.

If no city was built on the ceded land, the people would have no place to live.

Moreover, building a city must be a hugely expensive project. Not only does it require sending a large number of laborers from the territory of the Tang Dynasty to build it, but it also needs to be equipped with military guards.

The materials, food, and wages involved are definitely a huge expense.

But now the envoys of the Western Turks actually directly said that they could voluntarily build a city on it.

Isn't this a great thing?
If they were allowed to build the city in Western Turks, it would not only leave a huge amount of expenses for Datang, but also send the common people to work directly after the city was built.

At that time, Li Er couldn't imagine how rich Tang Dynasty would be.

After the Western Turkic envoy finished speaking, he just looked at the East Turkic son with a proud face.

He firmly believed that this tribute of his would definitely make the whole Tang Dynasty be moved by it.

It will also easily make King Tang and these ministers readily accept the request to include Western Turks as a vassal state.

At that time, the Western Turks will be able to completely wipe out the Eastern Turks with the protection of the Tang Dynasty!
The princes and ministers were completely excited.

After all, this is a huge benefit. Datang not only does not need to spend a single soldier, but also does not need to spend a tael of silver to obtain a huge territory and three cities.

Looking at the world, how can there be such a good thing?
Cheng Yaojin shouted directly with a loud voice: "You said that the barbarians of the Western Turks really decided to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, right? I can't believe my ears that they can get so many benefits. !"

Yu Chigong said directly and bluntly: "You old man, the Western Turks are willing to give away so much territory, cattle and sheep, and also voluntarily build cities. Do you have the background to face me, Datang?"

These words simply named Cheng Yaojin's doubts.

Cheng Yaojin touched his head and said: "Hey, Yuchi Dasha is still thoughtful, it seems that he is not so stupid, these Western Turks dedicated their territory, cattle, sheep, and gold to me, Datang, If they want to voluntarily build three cities for my Great Tang, they will simply use up all their knowledge, even if they have ideas about my Great Tang, I am afraid they will not be able to implement them!"

Yu Chigong laughed loudly and said, "You old man, your mind is simply too simple!"

Qin Qiong also said excitedly: "It seems that these Western Turkic barbarians are really afraid of my Tang Dynasty. Not only are they willing to donate so many cattle, sheep and territory, but they also take the initiative to help my Tang Dynasty build a city, which is enough to show that they Don’t dare to make trouble with my Great Tang! It seems that you really plan to surrender to my Great Tang!”

Niu Jinda also hurriedly said: "If my Tang Dynasty regains these territories, not only can I get three cities, but I can also use these cattle and sheep to disperse for the common people to raise. However, the Western Turks have paid so much for their heritage, and I think it will be great for me in the future." Tang didn't dare to have any thoughts, this is really a godsend opportunity to bless me Datang!"

Li Jing also sighed from the side: "The performance of the envoys of the Western Turks seems to have completely surrendered to my Tang Dynasty. This is also the fate of my Tang Dynasty!"

All the princes and ministers believed that the Turks had completely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

If not, he would not have given so many benefits to pay tribute to Datang.

This is simply cutting off their hands and feet, and it is just to get Datang and bring them into the vassal state.

And a group of Western Turkic envoys looked at the sons and envoys of the Eastern Turkic people very proudly.

In the hearts of the envoys of the Western Turks, the Eastern Turks would never give so many benefits to the Tang Dynasty.

It is a well-known fact that Western Turks are richer and stronger than Eastern Turks.

Now, the envoys of the Western Turks have given a tribute that they all love to give to Datang.

"Presumably, even if the son of East Turkic wants to join him, he has to see that he doesn't have so much background! Haha! After the king of Tang agrees to bring me West Turkic into a vassal state, the price of all this will be paid by East Turkic. Make it back! I, the Western Turks, must be the only overlord on the grasslands! The Eastern Turks, you just wait to perish!"
