Chapter 466: Borrowing a Chicken to Lay an Egg (After the Third Shift)
At this time, Shangguan Yi came to find Li Su and complained to Li Su.
Although Li Su is the Jiedu envoy of Jiannan Province, the person who is really in charge of affairs is actually Shangguan Yi.
And this time, the reason why Shangguan Yi came to complain was because there was simply not enough money to train and train 50,000 new troops.
Do you want to say that Li Su, the king of Shu, is rich?
Of course there is.
Li Su, the king of Shu, has a Chinese firm, which can be said to be a daily gold, how can he have no money?
But all this money belongs to the king of Shu.
You can't ask the king of Shu to pay for it to train the army.
If that's the case, it's going to get a grip on it.
Oh, this is my army of the Tang Dynasty.
What's the matter with your Shu King paying for training out of his own pocket?
Are you buying people's hearts and minds to turn the Tang Dynasty's army into your own private army?
Then the problem is, now the entire Jiannan Dao is under the management of Li Su.
They can leave seventy percent of the tax revenue of Jiannan Province for development, and the remaining thirty percent will be handed over to the imperial court.
So, is seventy percent of Jiannan Dao's tax revenue enough for them to train new troops?
If all of it is used for the training of the new army, it will naturally be enough.
But Shangguan Yi can't spend all his money on this.
If there is no money in the government, a lot of work will not be carried out at all.
recruited 50,000 new troops at once, which really gave Shangguan Yi a headache.
"Your Highness, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, these 50,000 soldiers and horses, there is really no money for training! Please think of a way, Your Highness! ”
Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Su couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then he said to Shangguan Yi: "Don't worry, if we don't have enough money in Jiannan Dao to train these soldiers, then let Tuyuhun help us pay for it." ”
Let Tuyuhun pay for them to help them train their troops?
Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face.
"Your Highness, it's too much of a bully to do this, isn't it?"
Just now the disaster of Tuyuhun was harmed, and people also took out hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to compensate.
And now let people pay for them to train their troops?
Your Highness, this is an addiction to bullying!
Li Su smiled and said: "No, they are begging for money to help us train our troops, you just need to recruit soldiers now and wait for good news." ”
……
Tuyuhun has been miserable lately.
was first instigated by Tubo to attack the Tang Dynasty, and then was stabbed in the back by Tubo.
They and Tubo were both defeated, and at this time, the Tang Dynasty directly sent troops and occupied their capitals.
After the failure, he had to compensate Datang for hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
In this way, the strength of Tuguhun has been concentrated and declined.
However, at this moment, there was bad news circulating within Tuyuhun.
It is said that in the last war between Tubo and Tuyuhun, there were heavy casualties.
Their 50,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out in Tuyuhun.
This time, Tuyuhun was determined to take revenge and prepared to gather the army and destroy Tuyuhun directly.
After hearing the news, Tuyuhun couldn't help but be frightened.
There's really no way they can't help but be frightened.
The people of Tibet are all demons.
The last time they attacked Tuyuhun, they killed all the villagers of their villages.
If we attack again this time, I don't know how many people will die.
Tuyuhun was in turmoil, and many people on the border fled one after another.
At this time, Tuyuhun's Khan Fushun was also shocked and surprised.
Fu Shun is close to Datang and fearful of Datang.
He wasn't as ambitious as his father.
To put it bluntly, this person has a bit of a soft personality.
Therefore, when he heard that the Tibetans were about to invade their Tuyuhun, Fu Shun was very afraid.
In the last battle with Tibet, their 30,000 soldiers and horses were almost wiped out.
And the attack of the Tang Dynasty once again caused them to lose more than 10,000 soldiers.
And they spit out the valley, and they are full of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Two battles, they have almost died.
Now inside Tuyuhun, it's not that there is no youth.
But it's already very rare.
If all these young people are pulled out to fight, once they are defeated, they will really have no young people in Tuguhun, and it will not be far from the death of the country.
Fu Shun was worried and very afraid.
At this time, Fu Shun's wife said to Fu Shun: "Khan, Tubo is coming to attack us, since we can't resist it, why don't we ask Datang for help?" You know, we are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty! ”
Hearing his wife's words, Fu Shun's eyes lit up, but he soon said in frustration: "However, far water can't quench your thirst!" When the Tang Dynasty sends troops, I'm afraid that a few months have passed, and by then, I'm afraid that we will already be dead! ”
Well, Datang sent troops, and it really couldn't be done so quickly.
In the original historical trajectory, Tuyuhun died in this way.
And Fu Shun's wife smiled slightly and said: "How did the Khan forget His Royal Highness the King of Shu from the Jiannan Dao Festival?" ”
This time, Fu Shun's face finally showed joy.
That's right, His Royal Highness the King of Shu and them are close at hand, if the King of Shu is willing to send troops to help them, there will be no problem.
So, Fu Shun immediately prepared a generous gift, and then sent a messenger to quickly rush to Yizhou to ask the king of Shu for help.
This time, Fu Shun was really scared.
The messenger sent out, day and night, only took one day to come to Yizhou and sent a request for help to Yizhou.
And after receiving the letter from Tuyuhun Khan Fushun, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.
I'm afraid all of this is the handiwork of His Royal Highness, right?
Well, spread the news that Tubo was going to attack Tuyuhun.
At this time, there were not many soldiers in Tuyuhun at all, and there was no way to resist the offensive of Tubo.
In this way, Tuyuhun is bound to ask them for help.
Then, as a matter of course, they sent soldiers into the territory of Tuyuhun to help them resist the attack of Tubo.
However, since we have sent troops, can Tuyuhun let us send troops in vain?
You are responsible for the salaries and the food and grass, right?
This time, it was really Tuyuhun who took the initiative to invite them in.
However, when the territory of Tuyuhun is safe, they will retreat, right?
How can they be stationed in Tuyuhun for a long time, so that Tuyuhun has always paid for them to train the army?
Despite Shangguan Yi's resourcefulness, he still couldn't think of how to do this.
But since His Highness has come up with this idea, there must be a way to do it, just wait and see.
After receiving Tuyuhun's request for help, Jiannan Dao did not agree to their request at the first time.
If you promise too much, it won't make them feel precious.
After the envoy of Tuyuhun repeatedly pleaded and promised all kinds of benefits, the Jiannan Dao side reluctantly agreed.
The Tuyuhun envoy was greatly surprised, and hurriedly went back to reply to their khan with the good news.
