However, if memory serves, this land is not this guy's territory at all.

Li Ran smiled playfully...... The territory of the Turkic Khan, this guy is quite good at making decisions on his own.

"You play with me? Or are you ready to write a blank check? ”

"How dare you deceive the immortal master, this land is indeed ready to be given to the immortal master."

Ashina is serious, but he can't hide the cunning Limang in his eyes.

"Its garrison is very empty...... The old khan sent the Turkic wolf cavalry out on an expedition to the steppes in the northwest, and he would not return for at least two months. ”

This betrayal has a unique character, and it is as enthusiastic as the bustard standing on the second floor to solicit guests.

"So, you plan to let Datang send troops to attack the Hetao area?"

"It's a pity not to take this land with such a good opportunity." , Ashina is still serious.

Li Ran looked disdainful and grinned, "I'm afraid you're not a fake Turk. ”

“…… I gave myself a Tang name, do you want to hear it? ”

When shamelessness becomes commonplace, there is really nothing to shame this guy.

What he meant was clear...... Under one of the Turkic royal families, this guy is no longer satisfied.

Eyeing the throne of the Turkic Khan.

Of course, the risk of a coup d'état or something is extremely high, and it is far less secure than an attack...... When the Turkic Khan died at the hands of the Tang Dynasty, as the second-in-command, he naturally ascended to the throne without negotiation.

It's a good calculation, but it's a pity that Li Ran is not interested.

"I don't have military power, and I don't want to help you make a wedding dress."

There is no room for refusal, and the ghost knows if Ashina has any additional routines.

“…… You don't need to send troops, you just need your name. ”

Ashina Choyun said that he sent the Buddha to the west, "I will send elite cavalry to attack the royal court in the name of the Tang Dynasty, there is no wolf cavalry, I have a full chance of winning, as long as I kill the old Khan, I will inherit the throne smoothly." ”

"And then, in the name of avenging him, invade my Datang?"

Li Ran smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, I don't need a war to establish my authority, in fact, there are quite a few nobles who support me in the Turks at the moment, but the old khan is too stubborn...... He's old. ”

Ashina is very frank and straightforward about his ambitions.

This buddy, do you want to be the king of Zhao Wuling of the Turks...... In the past year, there have been so many places that he has imitated Datang that it cannot be described as learning, more like plagiarism.

In fact, his philosophy of politics is quite interesting.

While developing the economy, it has maintained the traditional combat effectiveness of nomadic herders...... Establish trade channels with the Tang Dynasty, sell cattle and sheep in exchange for other daily necessities, and then expand to the northwest, occupy more pastures and expand animal husbandry.

When it comes to forage supply, the Turks clearly have a natural advantage.

Li Ran's eyes narrowed, and he didn't reply.

He was thinking about whether to send Ashina to the throne...... I don't worry that this guy will cross the river and tear down the bridge, according to the political policy of this guy, Datang is an indispensable link, if the national strength is very weak, it may also take the way to pay the bill with a knife, and with the current reserve strength of Datang, he will not dare to invade fully if he is given ten guts.

What he worries about is whether he will raise tigers.

Ashina Choyun has already shown more powerful potential than the old Turkic Khan, and Datang has this kind of enemy lying beside him, which is a bit of a headache.

“…… I don't have the right to decide whether to send troops or not. ”

In the end, Li Ran rejected his request, looked at the other party's disappointed eyes, and smiled.

"I can recommend someone, though."

The words of the peak and the back made Ashina Yun slightly stunned, this Tang Dynasty, and Li Ran couldn't decide.

Looking at the direction of the other party's fingers, he seemed to have an understanding, "...... You're talking about Li Chongrun! ”

Sure enough, he is a smart person, and he can see through it at all.

Li Ran smiled and decided to give his eldest brother a gift, a gift that was enough for him to become the crown prince.

The last time the Hetao area was recovered was when Gaozong Li Zhi, if Li Chongrun could regain this land, the achievements he established would be enough to silence the officials of the imperial court.

"Okay, I'll go find him."

Ashina has cooperated with Li Chongrun, and he is familiar with it, but he is not sure about the other party's attitude, and with Li Ran's recommendation, this matter will definitely be successful.

That night, Li Ran repaired a letter and wrote down his thoughts in detail, and then Li Chongrun judged whether he needed to cooperate with Ashina Qiyun.

Then, closing the door to send off guests, he didn't mean to stay overnight in Ashina Qiyun.

More than 20 days later, when Li Ran was busy with his business and put all the order in the territory on the right track and was about to return to Luoyang, he received a reply.

It's a special messenger for the side, and there is a formal one.

The only person who can use this kind of messenger is the rank of general or above...... The corners of Li Ran's mouth smiled slightly, and he had already guessed who the person who sent the letter was.

Sure enough, the name of the eldest brother on the cover was eye-catching.

The content of the letter was very simple, as simple as two words.

"Thank you."

A thousand words, all in words.

Li Ran shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly...... knew that he still hadn't let go of his knot, but he decided to accept this generous gift.

"Looks like we're going to have a few more days."

The other party accepted the gift, which meant that Li Chongrun agreed to Ashina Qiyun's plan, and the reply was the attitude...... The handwriting is flying and powerful, and the spirit of war leaps on the paper.

Therefore, as the front-line logistics force, although Li Ran does not need to provide him with any material assistance, he still wants to be perfect.

For example, send a batch of flintlock pistols and war horses, and even let Zhang Long take a small team to participate in the war with the army.

carelessly lost Jingzhou, the last time this uncle had a tailwind, he left a lifelong regret.

"Da Lang, my brother has a letter?" When she was thinking about how to prepare for the baggage, Xian Hui'er excitedly got in.

This girl is really well-informed.

“…… Well. Li Ran handed over the letter, and Xian Hui'er looked at it with a pout.

"Brother is too precious to be like gold, Da Lang, have you discussed something?"

Xian Hui'er was not stupid, and quickly understood this kind of code-like communication...... Li Ran saw Ashina's affair, but he didn't hide it from her.

"Well, small things, don't worry about it, just take Zheng'er with you."

Li Ranzhi was not afraid that she would leak the news, but the killing was inauspicious, and she took Zheng'er with her and tried to stay away from the blood.

"Okay, it's all ......up to you", Xian Hui'er nodded, rushed over with interest, left without interest, and before walking out of the study, Li Ran's heart moved, and she stopped her again.

"Otherwise, you go and write a letter to Wu Qingying...... Let her prepare military supplies and go to Mayi. ”

Li Ran smiled and smiled, making Xian Hui'er confused.

"Just such a bare-eyed sentence?"

"Well, she understands."

Li Ran nodded, in terms of political acumen, this girl is much better than the little daughter-in-law.

So, he decided to give the other party a favor...... Before the expedition, there was not too much military supplies or anything, and even if Li Chongrun was unhappy, he would definitely remember her benefits.

It can also be regarded as pouring another scoop of water for the twisted melon.

If the two of them are really so cold again, then it can only be said that there is no chance in this life.
