The Western Turks listened to Du Gou's algorithm, although they were surprised by the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, but they did not lose their confidence too much, and the old military advisor spoke: "Special envoy, the Tang Dynasty is so generous, we can't help but know how to raise it, in this way, my Great Turk will compensate the Tang Dynasty with 1.5 million yuan, okay?" ”

Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to sell Du Gou a good one, thinking that I could produce more silver and less food, after all, the Western Turks guarded the Western Regions, and they had accumulated a lot over the years, and this time I made a lot of money by attacking the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

But I didn't expect Du Wei's face to change at that time, "What? Do you look down on me Datang?

Is my Datang the country that bullies? Do you have a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars of silver?

Saying that one million is one million, this is a gift from His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and you don't give face? ”

Forehead......

Mo He was speechless, I don't want to give it for nothing, are you deliberately showing off your wealth?

"I'll count the grain with you after I've counted the money.

An army of 60,000 was dispatched, and every day people ate the ...... of horses."

"Wait, envoy, as far as I know, didn't Datang only dispatch 30,000 troops?" Mo Hexuan asked the question in his heart.

Du Wei sneered, "What do you know? What strength does Datang have?

Originally, we wanted to attack your Western Turkic royal court, so we transferred 60,000 troops, but the king of Chu said that 30,000 could chase you all over the ground, so we only moved half of it, and that half of it collected the loot and cleaned up the battlefield along the way.

How can you watch the strength of my Datang? Don't say 30,000, in my opinion, a person who doesn't understand warfare, 10,000 is a lot to deal with you. ”

The Turkic side was flushed, but he was stunned and didn't say a word, and those who had seen the thunder knew that he was right.

"How much does it take for an army of 60,000 to eat horses for two months? Five catties of grain a day for one person, an average of 300 catties per person for two months, and 60,000 people coming down, not counting the horses, are already 18 million catties of grain, do you want more than 500,000 stones?

In addition, there is our logistics brigade in charge of transportation, hehe, a big war alone consumes at least 700,000 stone of military rations, you are good, you are still unwilling to compensate for the defeat?

Think our Datang is easy to talk to, and it's fun to attack it if it's okay? ”

Mo Hedu's face was bitter, "But, but we don't have so much food, our Western Turkic marches all eat sheep, and we are already short of food." ”

I don't know which general behind him muttered in a low voice, "Don't you want us a million sheep?" ”

Du Wei was furious, "What do you think I'm here for? The food is the military food you need to toss our Tang army, and the silver money is the military expenses to compensate for our battle losses and troops.

As for the extra one million sheep, that is what we want to compensate the innocent people of Gaochang, the people have just enjoyed the good life of our Datang for less than a year, it is better to wait, let them suffer from the military disaster again, there is no compensation, how do the people of Gaochang think of us? ”

Yes, there is a thunder and fire, and the Western Turkic side is silent, settling accounts, and no one here is Du Wei's opponent.

The old Western Turkic military advisor spoke: "Special envoy, we can give out silver money and sheep, but we can only gather 200,000 stone for grain from the people in the Great Turks, and there is really no 500,000 stone."

Is it possible to settle the debt in other ways? ”

"Hehe, I don't know what you Turks can have that is worth 300,000 stone of grain."

"We are willing to send the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions to Datang as compensation, I wonder if we can get the grain of 500,000 stones?"

When Du Wei heard this, he was annoyed again, "The envoy said, my Datang is not an unreasonable country.

You have offended my Gaochang for no reason, killed my officers and soldiers to occupy my land, and we attacked Gaochang to regain the lost territory.

Datang has no interest in other countries' territories, your attack on the 36 countries of the Western Regions has nothing to do with us, we want it useless, the lost land is recovered, and you will pay some compensation to clear the two, as for the 36 countries of the Western Regions? What you struck down is yours.

How? Do you look down on us Datang? Think we want a lot of land and we need your help?

When he came, Senior Brother Yuanba confessed, even if Datang didn't want anything, this reason must be clarified, we can't be looked down upon by the surrounding small countries because of these corners. ”

…… A group of Western Turkic monarchs and ministers are really speechless, who dares to look down on you? You all came to our door and scolded the street, who looks down on whom?

Say Datang doesn't love turf? Who believes? In whose hands is the Eastern Turkic steppe now? It seems that the city of Goguryeo is also in your hands.

Mo Helu was anxious, and said in a flash of inspiration: "We have seized the wool textile process from Datang, I don't know if it is possible to pay off the debt?" ”

Du Wei shook his head again, "That thing is worthless if it is leaked, what you get is also your creation, we won't ask for it anymore, by the way, I still have a message from the family teacher here."

The family teacher said that the wool textile process has been leaked, and Datang will not buy wool from you in the future, presumably you can also produce it yourself, so the trade between you and us will end in the future. ”

"This, this can't work, in addition to wool, we have many things that are very happy to cooperate with Datang, how can we end the trade?" Mo He was in a hurry.

"The affairs of the merchant are not in our hands, you can just go and negotiate with the tutor."

Mo Helu was secretly shocked in his heart, if he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, if the Tang Dynasty really cut off the trade routes to the west and cut off the trade routes of the Western Turks, I am afraid that the Western Turks will encounter an unprecedented disaster.

"In this way, envoy, we have some fugitives captured from the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, it is said that they are fugitives from the Datang underworld, because of the attack on Xianliang, they are being wanted by the Datang, and the Marquis of Lantian has issued a pursuit document.

We dedicate it to Datang, and only ask Datang to reduce our compensation. ”

Du Wei pondered for a moment, and said in his heart that looking at the performance of their monarchs and ministers, it seemed that food was indeed tricky, and if he persecuted it too much, it would not be good if the Western Turks could not come to Taiwan.

And if the Western Turks really loot the Western Regions and their own people in order to compensate, it will inevitably bring public opinion that is not good for the Tang Dynasty, and these people will say that it is because the Tang Dynasty is too vicious, resulting in no food to survive, so it will be difficult to recover these people's hearts in the future.

So after some consideration, Du Wei decided to change the treaty and give the Western Turks a breather.

"Oh? The fugitive who robbed my Datang immortal grain?

Good! Very well, if it is really these fugitives, I should have decided that I would not like you to compensate for the food.

These thieves think they can get away with hiding in a foreign country?

As everyone knows, we Datang people want to swallow their flesh and blood alive, and dare to touch my Datang immortal grain, even if we don't want 500,000 stone grain, we also want their lives.

We want to let the thieves who betrayed Datang know that no one in the world dares to betray Datang, but there is one person who will definitely not be allowed in the world.

Hand them over, and 500,000 stone of grain will be erased from the national letter! ”

Mo He was overjoyed, a group of useless people could be worth 500,000 stone of grain, it was really an unexpected joy, he was simply too witty.

The Western Turkic monarchs and ministers saw the signing of the letter of state, they were overjoyed, this war, although the Western Turks were defeated, but it was not without gains, at least the territory and population of the Western Regions were obtained, coupled with the wool textile process, the Western Turks could make their own fortune in the future, but the battle with the Tang Dynasty, the 100,000 army, or very depletion.

Only the old military division has some hidden worries in his heart, the fugitives of the Tang Dynasty were originally very useful, many of them would have worked a hundred jobs, and they still needed their help and staff if they wanted to pass through the Western Regions, but now in order to survive the difficulties of the Tang Dynasty, they had to sacrifice them.
