Because of Wang Xuance's speech, the most direct consequence is that countries have formed their own small groups, and the small countries have united with each other to resist the tyranny of the big countries, while the 'big countries' have gradually been isolated and slowly lost their transcendent status.

The meetings before the meeting were held one after another, and a dozen or so envoys gathered today for a few of you, and tomorrow for a few of us, to discuss with each other how to deal with them. It wasn't until Khotan, Qiuzi and other countries arrived with other countries that the scene became more lively and chaotic.

At this time, the time has already passed the New Year, and the climate has begun to warm, although it is still cold wearing a leather jacket and hugging the stove, but the atmosphere in the palace of Gaochang has reached an extremely hot level.

"Lord Gaochang, I'm afraid that your distribution plan is your own hysteria, Khotan is alone responsible for the military food and military expenses of 10,000 soldiers, tsk, you really dare to say it." The envoy of Khotan looked at Ju Wentai mockingly with a thick look of disdain on his face.

Compared with other small countries, Khotan definitely belongs to the ranks of large countries, with more than 80,000 soldiers, and can sit firmly among the four powerful countries in the Western Regions, so it is reasonable that Ju Wentai does not have much respect.

"Bold, you actually talk to a widow like this, can you really not dare to kill you?" Ju Wentai himself has character defects, and at this time, he was provoked by Khotanese envoys, and immediately took the case.

"Of course you dare to kill me, but justice is in the hearts of the people, before killing me, can you tell me how much military rations and military expenses you Gaochang is responsible for? Ju Wentai, do you dare? The envoy of Khotan was not afraid, and calmly looked at Ju Wentai, like a messenger of justice.

Ju Wentai really didn't dare to say how much military spending Gao Chang was responsible for, his arrangement was that Khotan was responsible for one-third, Qiuci was responsible for one-third, and the other third was divided by those small countries.

Even if a small country can't afford it all, some are responsible for military rations and some are responsible for military spending, and everyone can still resist this with their concerted efforts.

In this way, as long as they hold out for one to two years, the small countries will definitely be even weaker, and even the national strength of countries such as Khotan will be weaker than before.

When the time comes, it will be Gaochang's opportunity.

As long as you find a reason casually, for example, if a certain country refuses to pay military rations or something, and then leads troops to attack it, then the territory of Gaochang will soon be doubled, and even if the army of the Tang Dynasty is well raised, it can also achieve the purpose of using the army of the Tang Dynasty to conquer the vassals.

I have to say that Ju Wentai's calculations are indeed good, but unfortunately he himself does not have such an execution ability, and at the same time, his subordinates do not have either. In addition, it is so obvious that any person can see that he has a different purpose.

"Envoy of Khotan, you only need to say whether you Khotan should bear this part of the military rations and military expenses, and it is useless to say anything else." Prime Minister Gao Chang shook his head impatiently and disappointedly, so he could only stand up again and take over what was supposed to be said by Ju Wentai.

has a monarch like a pig, I don't know if it's his sorrow or honor.

"It's okay to bear military rations and military expenses, but since it's a Huimeng, this matter can't be decided by your Gaochang family." The envoy of Khotan glanced at Wang Xuance, who was sitting in a corner of the palace without saying a word, and saw that he had no idea of expressing his opinion, so he continued: "I propose that everyone discuss this matter together and discuss a reasonable plan together, and since Gaochang is also a big country, he should also show his responsibility." ”

As soon as the words fell, a chorus of echo immediately sounded in the palace, and a number of small countries agreed, and the envoys of Qiuzi, who were also 'big countries', also nodded again and again.

At the first night banquet, the fact that Datang did not save Ju Wentai at all has now spread very widely, and almost all the countries participating in this alliance already know about it.

This undoubtedly dispelled some of their worries.

Anyway, as long as Datang doesn't help Gao Chang speak and doesn't stand behind Ju Wentai, then there is still room for negotiation in this matter, and even after seeing Wang Xuance's silent attitude just now, the envoys of some countries already have some other ideas.

The first meeting, because of the attitude and doubts of the envoys of Khotan, finally broke up unhappily, of course, only Ju Wentai was unhappy here, and the envoys of other countries were still more satisfied with this ending.

Wang Xuance returned to the Tang army camp outside the city, but just in time for Li Daozong to roast sheep, seeing him coming back, he couldn't help beckoning: "Xuance, come on, sit down together, and talk about what fun you have today." ”

"Hehe, it's an honor to be able to eat the mutton roasted by King Jiangxia himself." Wang Xuance sat on the edge of the fire with a smile, and at the same time took Li Daozong's place and shook the grill himself.

After all, Li Daozong is the prince, and Wang Xuance is no matter how awesome he is, no matter how ignorant he is, he will not let Li Daozong personally barbecue meat for him to eat, so replacing his position is also the proper meaning of the question.

"Why is the prince so happy today? In the past, I had never seen the prince do it himself. Wang Xuance slowly shook the grill so that the whole sheep on the rack could be roasted evenly.

"Mr. Wenmo has another statement about the Western Regions today, a certain family thinks it is very interesting to hear it, if it is according to what he said, it is estimated that it will not be long before the old man can leave this damn place."

Li Daozong said as he waved his hand to the guards next to him, signaling them to take over Wang Xuance to shake the grill, the Tang Dynasty was talking about etiquette, and it was etiquette for Wang Xuance to take his hand, but he couldn't say that he didn't have it at all, so he let Wang Xuance barbecue meat for him to eat.

After all, there must be no grievances between the two of them, and there is no need to play this kind of face-slapping trick.

"Oh? Can you paraphrase that? Let Xuan Ce listen to it? Wang Xuance gave up his position, let the guards take over, and sat next to Li Daozong, showing a more interested expression.

"Let's let Mr. Wenmo say it himself, he just felt cold and ran back to change his fur." Li Daozong pointed to the tent not far away, and then said with a smile: "The old man is a rough man, this kind of delicate work can't be done, it's better to discuss slowly among you literati, if I say something, maybe what will things look like." ”

"The prince laughed, who doesn't know that Jiangxia Wang Wenwu is ......" Watching the color of the lamb roasted on the fire slowly turn golden, Wang Xuance and Li Daozong teased each other until Bai Wenmo came out of the tent like a sect bear.

"Mr. Wenmo, you won't be able to, right?" Wang Xuance looked at Bai Wenmo's appearance and was amused, and couldn't help but start teasing him.

"You are either practicing martial arts, or young people, how can I compare to you as a scholar in my forties." Bai Wenmo glanced at Wang Xuance, sat on the other side of Li Daozong, rubbed his hands and said while roasting the fire: "This broken place is so cold that it is to death, I knew that this was like this, and I said that death would not come." ”
