Chapter 170: Returning Home with Hostages

Indemnity for land cession.

It's a piece of meat that falls off his body, this kid is good, and he directly wants people to die.

The area he wants is the entire South Turkic Province...... It is equivalent to half of the grassland of Inner Mongolia, and the grassland provided by this place can feed at least one-third of the nomadic herders!

And the compensation for 500,000 cattle and sheep is almost the sum of the property of half of the Turkic tribes!

So he would rather die, which is too expensive to buy his life.

"No, you're a dignified khan, you can't even get this thing out."

Li Ran was extremely disappointed, and his contemptuous eyes spontaneously appeared, "Poor ghost." ”

The scolding was taken for granted, and undoubtedly poured another handful of salt on the wounds of the already defeated Turks.

However, his next sentence was a soul crit.

"Then you don't have anything else of value, do you?"

"Enough, you're entertaining the old man!"

The Turkic Khan was so angry that his hair stood on end, and with his expression of glaring at the beard, Li Ran wondered if he should exchange a camera to record this interesting picture.

"Who has the heart to entertain you, am I idle?"

In the end, he gave up wasting money, and although he still had a few children, Tiandi Bank had not released the next investment task for a long time, so he had to use it leisurely.

"A fixed price, no negotiation of conditions, at most I will allow you to pay in installments."

Li Ran saw that the poor ghost really couldn't squeeze oil and water, and relaxed the threshold and said, "With a five-year time limit, pay back the land and compensation, and sign a compensation agreement." ”

The Turkic Khan was stunned, such a fresh term, so considerate.

I'm afraid this young man who thinks off the line is not a fool.

As long as he is spared this time, the signed treaty is not even as good as the paper in the toilet, and he organizes the Turkic tribes to find the field back in minutes.

“…… Okay, I promise you. ”

"Wow, you promised so happily, there must be a deception...... However, the deal. ”

Li Ran said that he was more shrewd than a monkey, and the old thief almost wrote the words 'I want to repay the debt' on his face.

But God's turn was so sudden...... He agreed!

I know that it is false and wrong, but I still have to agree?!

For a time, the Turkic Khan did not know whether the young man in front of him was a madman or a fool.

"You don't understand, in your opinion, the agreement is just a piece of waste paper, but the agreement thing, it depends on how to use it, come, sign it."

Li Ran smiled and immediately ordered someone to make a paperwork.

“…… After I sign it, will you really let me go? ", the Turkic Khan asked in a deep voice.

"If you want to fart, at least you have to be a hostage to ensure that my officers and soldiers return to the mainland smoothly, right?"

Refusing unreasonable demands, the Turkic Khan was not angry but happy, this was the most normal reaction, otherwise he would not believe it.

can save his life, no one is willing to be heroic and righteous, he looked at the content of the agreement, it was indeed similar to what Li Ran said, signed his name suspiciously, and then stamped the golden seal of the Khan.

"Very good, then let's fulfill the first land cession and compensation first, the grassland north of Shuofang County, we took over, it is the territory of your Turkic royal family Ashina, you have the absolute right to speak."

The goal is very clear, and it is just stuck in the psychological bottom line of the Turkic Khan.

During the Taizong period, the Turks were divided into several large tribes, some of which chose to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty.

As things passed, this area was far away from the control of the central government and became the sphere of influence of the Turks again.

And Li Ran just took back what originally belonged to Datang.

“…… All right. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, the Turkic Khan nodded and agreed, this area is not large, and the quality of the pasture is not good, so it is cost-effective to buy life as an expedient measure.

After the officers and soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, they quickly evacuated with their prisoners...... It is impossible to completely annihilate the opponent on the steppe, there are always a few fish that slip through the net, and the Turkic wolf ride is not far away, the two sides are only a day's distance, and meaningless battles can be avoided.

"Immortal Master, why don't you escort that guy back to Luoyang, this is a miracle!"

Wang Haibin didn't understand Li Ran's approach very much, capturing the head of the enemy, this kind of deeds are enough to be in the history books, his Wang family has definitely made extraordinary achievements, and he may enter Lingxiao Pavilion in the future.

"Because the benefits are not large, I have studied the order of the Turkic throne inheritance, if this old man dies, the descendants of other royal families can inherit it, changing the khan is the same as changing clothes, although there must be a fight, but in the policy of fighting against our Tang Dynasty, it is the same, which is very troublesome...... We went out of the jam not to vent a bad breath, but to find a way to completely solve the scourge of the north. ”

Li Ran smiled faintly, "Therefore, he is useful, and the surplus value that can be squeezed out is far greater than sending it to Luoyang to make a reputation." ”

The shrewd and cold-blooded theory, Wang Haibin was instantly impressed...... The immortal master's thinking is really different from ordinary people.

"Besides, this time, we have reached the end of the crossbow, even if there is no shortage of materials, people will always be tired and tired, it's time to go back to the homeland to recuperate, with this old thing as an amulet, other Turks will definitely throw a rat bogey, which can ensure that we withdraw safely."

After fighting continuously for more than a month, even those who fought with iron couldn't stand it, and Li Ran didn't want to squeeze the combat potential of the elite soldiers.

It's a long time coming, and some of them are when they go on expeditions.

In fact, he was not wrong at all...... Only two days later, as soon as the troops from the Fortress had just converged, the Turkic wolf riders swarmed in.

Bloody and angry, eager to tear his opponent to shreds in no time.

And then, there is no then...... Li Ran directly pushed the Turkic Khan to the front line of the lineup.

You can't just shoot the boss without asking, besides, the Khan doesn't look like he's been captured...... Dressed in clean clothes, he is more handsome than when he was in the royal court.

What did those Tang people say, it seems that a ceasefire agreement was reached with the Khan?

How to do this, whether to chase or not to chase.

The Turks were in trouble, and they had nowhere to get out of their stomachs, and their opinions were very different.

Some of the royal families who suffered great losses advocated that they should not care about the enemy army first, while the other part of the royal family, such as Ashina Qiyun, did not suffer much losses, believing that the safety of the old khan should not be ignored.

These two or five boys are beautiful, and they can be called excellent-stirring sticks.

While the Turks were chattering and arguing, the officers and troops slowly retreated to the periphery of the Great Wall.

The Turks followed all the way, but after all, they did not dare to make a move.

On the one hand, they quarreled with each other and disagreed, and on the other hand, they were shocked by the terrifying strength of the Tang people.

A mere army of 8,000 men threw the steppe into a mess, and those strange weapons had never been seen before.

No tribe was willing to test the sharpness of the official army with its own elite, and the Turkic wolf riders were directly under the orders of the khan...... All sorts of factors contributed to this dull and somewhat comical picture.

Until a cannon rang out.

"Boom!"

The roar from the pass of the Great Wall is the artillery of the Shenji Battalion!

"Tsk, the old man's welcoming methods are as hardcore as ever."

Li Ran smiled, knowing that he was as stable as Mount Tai.

Sure enough, the Turks were so frightened that they retreated in unison, and after a few shells exploded, they withdrew from sight.

“…… Brother Ran, that banner, yes, it's the prince's! ”

Xue Sixing suddenly became excited and pointed to the handsome flag on the pass.

Li Ran immediately noticed that the handsome flag was embroidered with a four-clawed golden python!
