Chapter 670: Du Gou Sends an Envoy to the Western Turks
"Negotiate peace, we must negotiate peace, if we don't negotiate peace, the 30,000 people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to hit our royal court at once, and then my Great Turk will have no place to stay, and I shudder when I think about the fate of the Eastern Turk Jieli."
Leading an army of 100,000 to return to the Western Turkic royal court, Mo Helu summoned his subordinates to discuss.
The old military division under his command spoke: "Great Khan, the Tang Dynasty did not chase Gaochang out, which means that their strength is not enough to attack them, and we still have bargaining chips." ”
"No, we can't bet, you can see it when Li Yuanba, the king of Chu, is chasing you and me, that is a killing god, who can guarantee that he will not be annoyed and angry?" Mo Helu still recalled Li Yuanba's eyes and was still a little afraid, but fortunately he ran fast.
"This, but the war reparations they demanded are too much, and we can't afford it!"
"Please ask the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to talk, we will send the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions to them, I believe that there is a precedent for the last acquisition of Gaochang, and it is still easy for us to use the land to make money and grain."
When the news reached the royal city of Gaochang, Li Daozong and others also interrogated the old people of the Western Turks, and then sent 3,000 troops to the Western Turkic royal court together with the special envoy Du Wei to discuss the war reparations.
"Special envoy, welcome the envoy to my Great Turkic Royal Court, I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Chu is well?" Personally out to welcome ten miles, Mo Helu's sincerity is very sufficient.
Du Gou nodded with a scepter in his hand and said: "My senior brother Yuanba is in good health, but he is emotionally uneven, and he wanted to come with me to greet the Great Khan this time, but he was persuaded by us, so he is still angry and drinking in Gaochang Wangcheng." ”
Forehead......
Mo He's head is sweating, greetings? Greetings from Li Yuanba, King of Tang Chu? It's scary.
Hearing that this was actually the junior brother of the King of Chu, Mo Helu was even more respectful, "Special envoy, thank you for the special envoy's hard work, Ben Khan will definitely prepare a generous gift for the envoy, and I hope that the envoy can say a few kind words in front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and say that Mo Helu has already made a mistake." ”
Du Wei looked at the Western Turkic Khan in front of him, who had repeatedly retreated, and nodded secretly in his heart, the Tang Dynasty's coercion of the Quartet may be just a glory in the hearts of the people, and there is no real concept.
Only the envoys who sent them could deeply understand what it means to be a great country and overwhelm the world.
The Western Turks are the first power in addition to the Tang Dynasty today, a powerful country that is not inferior in strength and manpower, but now they bow their heads to a small envoy, which is the power of thunder.
In the Western Turkic king's tent, imitating the layout of the negotiation hall of the Tang Honglu Temple, these people in the Western Turks also made a circular negotiation table, Du Wei was funny in his heart, these people, setting up these furniture in a king's tent, really have a feeling that the tiger is not an anti-dog.
"Special envoy, I don't know what the Tang side needs our Great Turks to do before they are willing to withdraw their troops? If you say it, we will be satisfied. ”
Mo Helu personally participated in the negotiations, there was no way, the battle of Gaochang Wangcheng, the vitality of the Western Turks was greatly damaged, dozens of generals were either killed or captured, only himself and the old army and the two men and horses fled in a hurry with 3,000 men and horses, and there were very few people who could use the Western Turks at this time.
Du Wei didn't expect these people to be so anxious, but it's okay, the more anxious you are, the easier it will be for us to speak.
took out a volume of national letters from his bosom and handed it over, "This is the condition of my Datang, it is all written on it, you can look at it." ”
The old military master took it carefully, handed it to Mo Helu, opened it and looked through it, this ......
Mo Hedu's heart was cold, how can this be good?
Without speaking, he passed the Datang National Letter to his subordinates and looked at it, the old military division frowned, and after a long time, he spoke: "Special envoy, we can't do these conditions in the Tang Dynasty. ”
"That's not the way to talk about it?
It doesn't matter, the business is not benevolent, I'll go back, and Senior Brother Yuanba will talk to you in detail later. ”
Du Gou turned around and was about to leave, without the slightest intention of dragging mud and water, which made the Western Turkic monarchs and ministers panic when they landed, what is this for? Do you pull it down if you don't agree with each other? How can there be such a negotiation? What are you mentioning Li Yuanba for? Isn't this the threat of the red fruit? Where is benevolence and righteousness? I really don't see where your so-called righteousness is.
"The envoy, the envoy is slow, there is really another reason for this, it's not that my Great Turk doesn't give sincerity." Mo Helu opened his mouth and held Du Goudao.
Du Gou didn't buy it, and sneered: "Don't bully me when I'm young, over the years, I, Du Gou, as the deputy secretary of Honglu Temple, have I not been there?" Who hasn't seen it?
You can't get all the money and food? According to the family teacher, not only do you have to hand over money and food for compensation, but also the murderer who slaughtered my 3,000 officers and soldiers. ”
"No, no, no, I know that Datang's conditions are concessions to us, but we really don't have so much money and food, not to mention money, it's okay to say that the money is one million, and we can still take it out if we make it together."
There are a million sheep, and we can also try to get together.
But this grain, 500,000 stones, we really can't take it out, you know, we Turks don't produce grain, we have relied on the help of the Tang Dynasty to barely survive all these years, and we really can't get 500,000 stone of grain. ”
The old military master started his performance with tears in his eyes, if Du Gou was generally young, I am afraid that he would really be unbearable, but Du Gou is also a little fox who has been wandering for many years, how can he not guard against this?
"Hmph, now do you remember that it was me who took the help from Datang? Attack my Tang Gaochang County, why did you forget everything when you killed my officers and soldiers?
Our Tang Dynasty ceremonial state has no intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob.
I'm going to do the math for you, and see how much we have to do.
If you kill my 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, each of them will be treated according to the pension treatment of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, 50 yuan pension, and 150,000 yuan of silver is needed, which is only the first batch of funeral settlement expenses, and the state will divide the child support for young children and the elderly in batches every year, if you count these, each person will start from 200 yuan.
The Tang Dynasty mobilized 60,000 troops to expedition to the Western Regions to recover the country, and the military expenses for this expedition were 20 per person, totaling 1.2 million yuan, not counting the war damage and sacrifice.
Therefore, this money alone, we need at least 1,350,000 yuan of expenditure, and we will talk to you about 1 million, what? Is it much? ”
The Western Turkic monarchs couldn't help but gasp, what the hell is this? Is Datang so rich? It's a lot of money, isn't it? Fifty times the soldier's pension? My Great Turk is only two pieces of money, and if something happens in a timely manner, child support? Elderly support? Where have you heard of it? With such a good welfare, wouldn't being a soldier worry-free?
What is the salary of a soldier on a trip? Oh, my God! How many sheep's wool is this?
Battle damage? Battle damage from fart? Mo Helu is about to scold his mother, all you have in your hands are thunderbolts, how can there be battle damage?
The corners of the guard captain behind him twitched, I didn't expect that the benefits of being a soldier in Datang are so good, and doing a war is worth two years of being a soldier in the Western Turks, obediently, such a good welfare, how good would it be if we could go to Datang to be a soldier?
Du Wei doesn't know what they think in their hearts, they ask for a price all over the sky, just wait to see them sit on the ground and pay back, as for the price they quoted, hehe, there are five times more than ten times the exaggeration, of course, compared to the welfare during the Wude years, it is almost twenty times exaggerated, and Datang has made money in recent years, so the welfare is a lot better.
