Chapter 681 Three cities, but that's all

The envoys of the Western Turks seemed to think that the overall situation was settled now, and let out a long sigh of relief.

At the present banquet, all the ministers of civil and military affairs began to discuss the tribute of the Western Turks.

Even Li Er was heartbroken, so it's no wonder why the envoy of the Western Turks could be so relieved.

But at this moment, Bai Jingyi said very disdainfully: "Three cities are nothing more than that!"

As soon as Bai Jingyi's words came out, the envoys of the Western Turks broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't expect that the King of Beiliang was still not satisfied with so many tributes.

"Could it be that the King of Beiliang really decided to exterminate the Western Turks?"

The envoys of the Western Turks knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

However, the eldest son of East Turk realized a glimmer of opportunity from Bai Jingyi's words,
"The king of Beiliang seems to be quite dissatisfied with these three cities. Could it be that our chance for East Turkic has come?"

The eldest son of the East Turks summoned up his courage and said: "To the king of Tang, I, the East Turks, are willing to cede all the [-] miles west of the Nine Songs of Hexi to the Tang Dynasty, and will also voluntarily serve the Tang Dynasty on these territories." The people built six cities! Just to let the Tang Dynasty bring our Eastern Turks into a vassal state!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Er's heart was very excited, and he almost wanted to agree on the spot.

But because of the emperor's posture, Li Er's expression remained calm.

In his heart, he thought very fieryly: "The three cities in Western Turkic are enough. I didn't expect that the King of Beiliang would come out to make a move, and Eastern Turkic would be willing to build six cities! I got these cities in Tang Dynasty. It will definitely directly intimidate the small countries in the whole north, and then the national strength of our Tang Dynasty will naturally rise to a new level!"

Li Er even began to fantasize about how brilliant the Tang Dynasty would be in the future.

The princes and ministers below couldn't sit still at all, the benefits given by East Turkic were too much.

No one expected that after Bai Jingyi came out and made a fuss, East Turkic City would expand the city to six.

The six cities, even if they are not as brilliant as Chang'an, are only considered medium-sized cities, then one city can accommodate 50 million Tang people.

Six cities are enough to accommodate millions of Tang people!
Cheng Yaojin directly discussed: "The barbarians of the Eastern Turks can be so generous. Six cities are enough to accommodate one-tenth of the population of the Tang Dynasty! If the Holy Majesty agrees, then the north is destined to develop To the point where it is on par with the south, and even more prosperous than the south!"

Yu Chigong was also surprised and said: "If my Great Tang really sends all these six cities full of defenders, then those small countries in the north will definitely be afraid of my Great Tang in the future, and both inside and outside of my Great Tang will be safe. They are also destined to live and work in peace and contentment!"

Qin Qiong also discussed: "Now these Turkic barbarians have given enough benefits, and it should be obvious that they don't dare to make any mistakes against my Tang! My Tang should accommodate me. They are!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded quickly and said: "Exactly. Although these Turkic barbarians are hateful, they brought too much tribute. My Tang Dynasty can bring them into the vassal without a single soldier. It is a beautiful thing praised by everyone!"

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands directly and said: "My Majesty, these Turks have given me enough benefits to Datang, which is enough to show their thoughts on my Datang. My Datang is the moment when the country is prosperous and the people are safe. If we can not Fei Yiyi's acquisition of these territories with one soldier is naturally a great record passed down through the ages, and it also shows the strength of our Tang Dynasty, which has caused many small countries around us to surrender to our Tang Dynasty. Please think again! "

The ministers behind him followed Changsun Wuji and cupped their hands together and said: "My lord, if my Tang Dynasty can now stabilize the north without a single soldier, it will undoubtedly be praised by everyone, and the East and West Turks are right now. He is a powerful enemy of our Great Tang, and now he surrenders himself as a vassal, which undoubtedly marks the strength of our Great Tang, think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I believe that these Turkic envoys have expressed their respect for Datang, and they have offered such generous tributes, which is enough to show their thoughts of submitting to Datang. If I, Datang, accept it at this moment, I will naturally accept it. Let the surrounding small countries follow suit one by one, think twice, Your Majesty!"

"My Majesty, the current national strength of our Tang Dynasty is strong enough, but the deterrence in the northern region is far from enough. If our Tang Dynasty can accept the land ceded by the Turks, it will undoubtedly be the best time for our Tang Dynasty to show its national prestige. , Your Majesty, think twice!"

After a heated discussion, several ministers believed that these Turkic barbarians were preparing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty without any conspiracy.

Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands directly and said: "My lord, the small countries in the north of our Great Tang are all staring at our Great Tang. If our Great Tang can get the land offered by the Turkic barbarians, it will undoubtedly be a good opportunity to strengthen our national strength. , Holy Master Mingjian!"

Yu Chigong also hurriedly said: "My Majesty, I believe that since these Turkic barbarians have such sincerity, my Tang Dynasty can't let them down easily, otherwise, in the future, the surrounding small countries and the history books of later generations will , How should I record my Great Tang! Holy Master Mingjian!"

Qin Qiong also cupped his hands and said: "I want to report to the Holy Majesty, I feel that if my Tang Dynasty can bring the Turks into the vassal state without a single soldier, this is my chance for the Tang Dynasty, not to mention, my Tang Dynasty has got the Turkic people. After the ceded land can be developed, it is naturally a good thing for the people of Tang Dynasty to benefit the country and the people! Your Majesty, think twice!"

Even Li Jing, who has always been wise and safe, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, my Tang Dynasty has been harassed by the Turkic people for a long time in the north, and now the Eastern and Western Turks have sent envoys to my Tang Dynasty, bringing generous tribute and enough sincerity. , is already sincerely surrendering to our Tang Dynasty, if our Tang Dynasty brings the Eastern and Western Turks into the vassal state, we can solve the two great enemies together, this is undoubtedly the best performance that can reflect the strength of our Tang Dynasty, Holy Master Mingjian!"

A group of princes and ministers also said: "My lord, I also feel that the Turkic barbarians have completely surrendered to my Tang Dynasty. My Tang Dynasty should cherish this opportunity, and it can also set a precedent for the surrounding small countries. , It can also avoid unnecessary wars, which is undoubtedly a good thing praised by everyone in the Tang Dynasty, Holy Master Mingjian!"
