Chapter 571: The Principles of the Tang Dynasty

This night banquet is not a real alliance, if you really talk about it, it can only be regarded as an opportunity to meet with the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the most traffic-saving mobile phone, no advertising site.

The envoys of small countries who can come to the banquet at this time basically belong to some small countries around Gaochang, and they are a community of interests with Gaochang itself, so they will come to praise Gaochang's stinky feet.

As for some other countries, to be honest, they are still colluding with each other, calculating their own interests, and only when the calculations are made will they really come.

After all, he wants to feed an army of 30,000, although it is not impossible in the Western Regions, but it is really a bit laborious, if he doesn't calculate it, just by eating, these 30,000 Tang troops can also eat some small countries.

The 30,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were like a catfish thrown into a fish pond, stirring up turmoil in a relatively peaceful Western Regions.

It is impossible for many countries in the Western Regions to have no hatred for each other, nor can they not be calculated, and there are many people who want to use Datang to achieve their own goals.

They all think that Datang will not care about the Western Regions, and think that sooner or later one day Datang will leave the broken place of the Western Regions, so they can use it as much as possible, otherwise who knows that the Tang army will withdraw that day, and the country with enemies has not been destroyed, so it will not be worth it.

Therefore, the current Western Regions seems to be calm, everyone is discussing the alliance, hello, I am good, everyone is peaceful, but in fact, only these countries themselves know how big the undercurrent is below.

Gao Chang wants to share the losses evenly, and many countries will share the military expenses of the Tang Army, but small countries don't do it, there are only a few thousand people in the country, if the military expenditure is too heavy, then there is only one way to destroy the country, after all, the annual grain output is so much, it is troublesome to feed your own people, and then to feed others, then simply don't pass that day.

However, if you don't take these military funds, you can't do it, which is equivalent to giving some big countries such as Gaochang and Qiuci an excuse to send troops to annex themselves, and even this annexation may be supported by the Tang army.

After all, the Tang army is not really a messenger of peace, they just need food, and it is not their concern where the food comes from.

As a result, since that night's banquet, Li Daozong was annoyed by the harassment of a group of envoys from small countries, and every day people lined up to meet him to discuss the issue of military spending.

In the end, Li Daozong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed the matter to Wang Xuance, there was no way, who made him the deputy head of the garrison this time.

"Lord Wang, you see, this is the luminous cup made of the famous Khotanese jade at the top of the Western Regions......" Four cups with exquisite shapes and unique styles are placed on the table, and they look exquisite and clear under the lamplight, which is unique and beautiful.

And the envoy of Cheshi Guo, who was sitting opposite Wang Xuance, had a flattering smile on his face, and humbly introduced Cheshi Meiyu.

"The name of the beautiful jade in Khotan has been passed down to the world, and Wang has known about this for a long time, but it is the first time to see it." Wang Xuance picked up the cup, praised it in his mouth, and put the cup down at the end: "But the messenger should take it back, Wang has no merit and is not allowed to receive such a heavy gift." ”

The envoy of the Che Master was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Wang Xuance to refuse such a temptation, but he quickly reacted, thinking that Wang Xuance was playing some trick to capture and indulge, and pushed the four cups to Wang Xuance's side: "The adults only need to say a few good words for the Che Master when they meet the alliance, and it is not a big deal for the adults, and I hope that the adults will fulfill one or two." ”

"Cheshi envoy, the alliance is the alliance of the countries of the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty only witnesses it, and will not speak its position, so ...... Wang can't help with this matter, you should take back this gift. Wang Xuance pushed back a set of cups to the messenger of the coach, turned his head to the guard at the door and said, "Send off the guest!" ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency." The envoy of the Cheshi never expected that what Wang Xuance said was true, and he couldn't help but say in a hurry: "My lord, the Cheshi country is small and the people are weak, and he really can't afford the heavy military expenses, so he doesn't expect the adults to help, otherwise according to the way arranged by the lord of Gaochang, the chariot master will die in the country!" ”

Wang Xuance shook his head disapprerovingly, and said in a harmonious voice: "The envoy is too worried, the matter of the death of the country will not be reached, and the Tang Dynasty came to the Western Regions for the peace of the Western Regions, how can he watch such a tragic thing happen." ”

"But, Lord Wang, that's the case, didn't you come that night? The lord of Gaochang actually asked the chariot division to be responsible for the grain and grass of the three thousand soldiers. In this ......, Lord Wang, there are more than 5,000 people in the whole country, how can you get the grain and grass that supplies 3,000 soldiers! The envoy of Cheshiguo had an expression on his face that was about to cry, and he chattered that he couldn't live anymore.

"The envoy must have heard it wrong, why don't you go to the other envoys and ask them, maybe there will be a turnaround."

Wang Xuance smiled lightly, and his fingers unconsciously drew circles on the table: "Many countries in the Western Regions will never be Gaochang's Yiyantang, and anything can be discussed slowly, right?" And there is an old saying in the Tang Dynasty, called: one person counts short, two people count long. Therefore, Wang thinks that it is only right for the envoy to discuss with other envoys, and Datang is an outsider here after all, so it is really inconvenient to say anything about this matter. ”

The envoy of Che Shiguo blinked and blinked again and again, and after a while, he nodded unwillingly, put away the cup on the table again, and said his guilt to Wang Xuance, and got up and left the tent.

Wang Xuance has made the principles of the Tang Dynasty very clear, and he will not care about these in their Western Regions, which means that Gaochang will not care about these small countries of you, and in the same way, if you small countries unite and force those big countries together, the Tang Dynasty will not care either.

Anyway, as long as the countries of the Western Regions come up with military rations and military spending, Datang will not participate in everything else, regardless of whether these military rations are looted or bought, or they fall from the sky.

Ruthless, this is really ruthless, the envoy of the Cheshi country began to miss those horse thieves who had escaped into the desert, after all, the horse thieves wanted to rob things, and they would only rob those rich countries, and they almost turned a blind eye to such a broken place as the Cheshi.

So now another question arises.

Who recruited the Tang army to the Western Regions?

In order not to be harassed, some countries summoned the army of the Tang Dynasty, and after the arrival of the Tang army, they transferred the task of supporting the army to other countries.

What could have been solved internally has now become a big trouble, and a certain country, as the perpetrator, is now complacent, thinking that it has a plan.

Thinking of these, the envoy of the Cheshi country began to be depressed, and people in depression often couldn't think about it, and if they couldn't think about it, they would find someone to spit out bitter water, and what would be the final outcome of sitting together and spitting bitter water?

If you don't want to die in silence, then explode in silence, and the end of things is as simple as that.
