Yanagi didn't open his mouth because there were already people involved in the negotiations, so he didn't want to speak.

It would be obvious that the negotiations were at an impasse, and Tumidu wanted to hear Yanagiki's opinion, which had already been heard of by Liumu, a young man with extraordinary intelligence.

Otherwise, it is impossible to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty as a commoner.

"Let me say, I'm not very professional in negotiations." Yanagi was dodging the question.

Tumidu pressed Liu Mu's shoulder: "We Hui people don't want to waste too much time at this table, our time can be used to kill the enemy." ”

"Okay. That's a different algorithm. For example, for your military expenses, I will pay 10,000 cans of various kinds, plus 3,000 three-layer forged steel knives......" Liu Mu just listed those things that Su Shichang quoted at sky-high prices, and the total value was about ten percent higher than Li Jing's offer.

Li Jing's standard is how much money he has, while Liu Mu gives it in kind.

Tu Midu didn't calculate how much these were worth in his head at all, and he didn't feel the slightest feeling when he was ten percent more, but after hearing that such a large amount of supplies could be obtained by sending troops to sweep the area demarcated by Li Jing, his eyes lit up suddenly.

"Very good, I'm satisfied with the price."

Li Jing and Su Shichang were stunned, just now they had the intention to let some more confidant but lions open their mouths.

The two of them reacted at once, and the reaction of the Hui Khan to the numbers was quite poor.

"Well, since that's the case. A ten-man long is a stainless steel knife, how? Li Jing sat back down at the negotiating table.

The Hui people immediately agreed, cutting a ten-person long is a stainless steel knife, the stainless steel knife of the Tang Dynasty they have tried just now, it is not worse than the treasure knife used by these leaders, but the scabbard is a little worse, and there is no decoration. A change of scabbard would be better than their current knives.

"Then, we will exchange the five royal horizontal knives for the heads of the Turkic households, if we don't kill enough, we will exchange them less, but what if we kill ten?" Tumidu sat opposite Li Jing.

Li Jing was also ruthless, and slapped the table heavily: "Even if we don't have a knife in our hands, you can kill 200,000 households, even if I go to the palace to steal, I will steal 200,000 royal horizontal knives for you." ”

"Happy!"

The negotiations that had already ended were restarted, and this time it became simpler, and everything was changed to physical goods without money. In just half an hour, even the contract was signed.

Then, Li Jing began to talk about his strategic plan for the Hui people, everything should go according to his own timeline, and he must not send troops early or late, and the speed of the attack must also be according to his own requirements.

Finally, the conversation was over, and it was dawn.

Liu Mu was so tired that he didn't want to walk by himself, and he just wanted to go back to sleep while holding his sore waist.

Li Jing accompanied Liu Mu to walk back, Li Jing said: "The strategic depth of the Turks is the great enemy, if we transfer 100,000 cavalry to the north, there is no one million troops in these three months, and it is estimated that the soldiers will starve to death on the grassland." This does not include the cost of logistics, the bereavement of soldiers, the rewards of military exploits, and so on. ”

"Yes." Yanagi nodded.

Li Jing said again: "But the accounts can't be counted like this, and we have to fight the real tough battle ourselves." I talked to Ashnadur that it would take more than two years to clear all the tribes east of the red line, and only the troops he has at hand at the moment will take more than two years after considering the limited military spending. ”

"It's too big, and you can't just hit it. To suggest our circle of control step by step, two years is not too long. ”

Liu Mu has seen the map, according to the area drawn by Li Jing, it can be said that the tribe that went north in the Tang Dynasty has run as far as the territory of Lao Maozi in later generations, where there is still the Servant Bone Tribe, and then there are still backbone tribes north of Huifu.

If you destroy Jieli, the pressure on these tribes will be reduced, and they will definitely come to the south.

Even if you want to make peace, you have to be convinced first and then make peace.

Li Jing saw that Liu Mu already understood the strategy, and added: "If there is no Ashinadur, Tuli Little Khan, Murwei Department, Khitan Department. We didn't dare to go all the way north, with their tribe to help supply and fight, we Datang dared to plan all the way north in two to three years. ”

Li Jing's words made Liu Mu feel cold.

Historically, the policy of the Tang Dynasty was not like this, and I remember that in history, the Tang Dynasty used means such as affinity, alliance, and canonization, so that many tribes in the north became vassals of the Tang Dynasty

This vassal is only a nominal vassal, and Datang does not interfere in the internal affairs of these vassal countries.

As far as Hui Hui is concerned, the Anshi Rebellion also helped Datang clear up the civil strife, and six princesses of Datang have married Hui Hui. But Tiele, Tuyuhun and other small states are different, they will repeat every chance and will attack Datang.

In particular, Qiuzi is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but it chokes the Silk Road of the Western Front of the Tang Dynasty at every opportunity.

The most hateful nature is Goguryeo, which is a vassal every day and tries its best to expand and encroach on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

"Are you going to the north?" Li Jing asked Liu Mu.

Liu Mu shook his head vigorously: "I won't go, this will be at least a year, and I won't march to fight, so it's better to help Senior Brother Yao make a contribution to your logistics." ”

"It's fine. I will write to Chang'an today, please transfer someone to replace me in the Shuo Fang. Do you have any suggestions for candidates? ”

"Two people, one is Li Ji, and the other is Hou Junji."

After listening to Liu Mu's suggestion, Li Jing just nodded slightly, what he wanted to choose was Li Ji, Hou Jun was not qualified enough to raise qualifications, and it was not enough to become a general in the town at the moment.

Yanagi asked again, "Is there a plan for that matter?" ”

Li Jing knew that Liu Mu was talking about a strategy of attacking, and replied in a low voice: "It's still a little close, I'm still thinking about whether the little Khan of Tuli is reliable, this time he must be very ready to attack Hou Sui, after Jieli sent troops, he gathered superior forces to defeat his reinforcements, besieged Hou Sui without attacking, and transferred Jieli's main force to fight." ”

"But ......" Liu Mu only said one word, and Li Jing understood what Liu Mu meant: "But, what if Jieli doesn't come to the rescue?" I've thought about this, so I said it's still a little close, if Jieli knew that the little Khan of Turki led all the tribes in the east of the Turks to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, plus the Later Sui was besieged. ”

Liu Mu understood: "Do the little Khan of Tuli dare to face Jieli's troops, at least withstand the first blow of Jieli's forward troops." ”

"Who said that you don't understand the art of war, that's what it means, and then the little Khan of Tuli led his patriarch to fight and retreat, luring Jieli deeper, and then it was good to rush to the Turkic tent. Then the combined forces of Li Daozong and Ashinadur attacked Hou Sui and took Hou Sui. ”

Li Jing said of this: "Let Jieli know that the tooth tent has been attacked, then he will return to the army." ”

Li Jing nodded: "On the way back to the army, our army will work for Yi." ”

"Brilliant plan!" Liu Mu and Li Jing both laughed at the same time.
