Prince Lu Mang pulled Ling Jing, Yan Liben, and Chu Suiliang to discuss how much dowry they wanted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Chu Suiliang pretended to be high, and Ling Jing and Yan Liben put forward some opinions from time to time on the matter of the bride price, and there was only one purpose - that is, to ask for more, as much as possible! After listening to Ling Jing and Yan Liben's words, Prince Lu Mang immediately said to Ling Jing and Yan Liben:

"Lord Ling Jing and Lord Yan Liben, if you want too many supplies, then wouldn't it force my father Khan and His Majesty to tear their faces." Ling Jing smiled and said:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, this is not a problem!" Chu Suiliang looked at these three people, his eyes full of contempt. The prince returned to the camp of the Xue Yanta Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan. The sudden loss has arrived. Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan saw the recklessness:

"Lu Mang, have several of Li Tang's envoys settled down?"

"Yes, Father Khan! The child discussed with Ling Jing, Yan Liben, and Chu Suiliang, the three envoys of Li Tang, and Li Tang's appetite was not small! ”

"Oh! Is it? Let's talk about it! ”

"Father Khan! They asked for a million sheep, a hundred thousand cattle, fifty thousand horses, and ten thousand camels. We want to send these cattle, sheep, camels, and horses to Chang'an before marrying the princess to us. Xue Yantuo True Pearl Viga Khan Yinan listened to the price offered by Li Tang. I felt very uncomfortable - when Bazhuo said that in the past, the Turks, the Central Plains court and the Turks, especially the Eastern Turks, in order to prevent the Eastern Turks from harassing the border, from time to time sent beauties, jewelry, food, cloth and other materials urgently needed by the tribes to the Turkic Khan's court. And now, what princess she married Li Tang wants to send so many cattle, sheep, horses, and camels. Tu Lishu suddenly interjected:

"Father Khan! This Li Tang's appetite is really not small! Moreover, Li Tang also asked us to marry the princess to us after all the cattle and sheep, horses, and camels, and we Xue Yantuo are located in the northwest, separated from Chang'an by more than 1,000 miles, and there is a large sand sea in the middle, these cattle, sheep, horses, and camels have no forage and no water source, so they must not die a large number of them! "The words of the sudden loss of profit made Lu Mang have a deeper understanding of his younger brother - usually this sudden loss of profit is never obvious, I can't imagine it, now it seems that this brother's city is very deep! Trolley continued:

"In addition, another point is that after the delivery of the dowry, Li Jiancheng also proposed to us that when the time comes, Li Jiancheng will personally send his relatives for 500 miles, and ask his father Khan to welcome his relatives for 500 miles, and Li Jiancheng hopes that his father will go to Lingzhou to welcome his relatives in person."

"What? Li Tang is really insatiable! He actually asked his father Khan to go to Lingzhou to welcome his relatives. Lingzhou is an important town in the northwest of the Central Plains, and Li Tang stationed heavy troops in Lingzhou. What if I am detained by Li Tang? (Lingzhou, founded in the fourth year of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty, placed in Lingzhou County, belongs to Beidi County, so the site is in Wuzhong City, Ningxia.) The Eastern Han Dynasty was Lingzhou. The Northern Wei Dynasty was the town of Bogulu, and later changed to Lingzhou. The Western Wei Dynasty was renamed Lingzhou Pule County. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was changed to Lingzhou and Lingwu County. Sui changed to Lingwu County, and the seat was returned to Le County. Tang Fuzhi Lingzhou has always been an important military town in the northwest of the Central Plains. Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan also felt that it was too dangerous to welcome his relatives in Lingzhou. Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yi Nan knocked on the table in various ways:

"Humph! It's too much. Xue Yanta Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan stood up and looked out at the fluttering battle flags of the various tribes. Back to it. He said to Prince Trolley and Prince Tulisu:

"Reckless! Sudden profit loss! Tell me about the two of you, should we fight Li Tang first, and see if they can lower the price when the time comes. You see, where is the right place? After hearing the words of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan, Tu Lisu immediately agreed, and spoke first:

"Father Khan, the child thinks that at the beginning, we recalled the Tiele Tribes Alliance, but we did not send troops to attack Tang, and the Tiele Tribes Alliance has not said anything now, but who can guarantee that the people of the Tiele Tribes Alliance will not have any pimples in their hearts?" Xue Yantuo True Pearl Viga Khan Yinan nodded as he listened.

"So, where do you think we should fight?"

"Father Khan! The child thinks that we should now attack Li Tang in the original Turkic ancestral mausoleum, because it is close to our Xue Yantuo and far away from Li Tang, Li Tang wants to reinforce the Tianci mine, and he has to pass through the sand sea and Gobi for nearly a thousand miles in the middle. Even if Li Tang's reinforcements arrive, there will be a shortage of people and horses at that time, and we will not only have enough to eat, but we may also be able to eat. And there is Li Tang's Tianci copper mine, there are many merchants from the Central Plains through the Monan area, all kinds of precious porcelain, tea, brocade and cloth from the original plains. They liked to sell slaves from Liaodong, Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. There is also a lot of copper and iron. Various craftsmen who smelt copper and iron. At that time, if we occupy Li Tang's Tianci mine, we will not only be able to get a large amount of copper, but also process a large number of arrowheads. Moreover, the Han Chinese slaves there can help us graze our herds, the original miners can help us mine ore, the craftsmen can help us smelt copper and iron, and this operation can also be supported by the Tiele Tribes Alliance. You must know that when Li Tang was mining the mine, the major tribes on the grassland were like hungry wolves seeing a flock of sheep, and they all showed a fierce light. And the most important thing is that once we take the Tianci Mine, it will also be a big face on Li Tang. After Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan listened to Tu Lisu's words, he smiled and patted Tu Lisu's shoulder:

"Good son, just do what you want!" And Lu Mang discussed it with Ling Jing, Yan Liben and others in advance, and in addition, Lu Mang often passed by the vicinity of the Tianci Copper Mine in Mobei and visited the defense of the Tianci Copper Mine. I am full of confidence in the defense of the Tianci Mine. However, there was not a word left unsaid:

"Father Khan! The child thought that this time he had a bad relationship with Li Tang, and he must not do anything to detain Li Tang's envoys again, and this time the child will not participate. ”

"Why?"

"Father Khan! There is a saying in the Central Plains that everything is left behind, and it is good to see each other in the future. Moreover, the child will also recommend Bazhuo as the coach of this operation this time! After hearing the words of Prince Troll. Xue Yantuo True Pearl Viga Khan Yi Nan smiled:

"Reckless! If Ben Khan remembers correctly, it seems that you and Bazhuo have never been very good at dealing with each other! Trolley smiled:

"Father Khan, the child does have the child's selfishness in recommending Bazhuo this time, first, Bazhuo has always been the 'main force' to attack Li Tang, last time Li Tang canonized the child and Tuli lost as a little khan, there is no part of Bazhuo, Bazhuo has always had resentment in his heart, and often wants to take revenge on Li Tang. This time, he sent Bazhuo to fulfill his wish. In this way, on the battlefield, Bazhuo will definitely move forward desperately. Second, the patriarch of the Yantuo clan, Lord Yantuo Dudu's recent arrogance is too arrogant, and he must strike a blow at Lord Yantuo Dudu's arrogance. After listening to Lu Mang's words, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yi Nan nodded-Prince Lu Mang's actions were indeed selfish, but then again, Prince Lu Mang's words were not unreasonable. Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan has sent people to secretly investigate Li Tang's defense of the Tianci Mine many times, and secretly connived at the Tiele Zhubu Alliance to secretly attack and disturb the Tianci Mine, so that Tanma secretly observed, Tanma came back many times to report, the area of the Tianci Mine, the Tang Army was well defended, and when the Tang Army was building a walled city and building a city in the Tianci Mine, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan also sent someone to pretend to be a merchant to inquire about the news, and when he came back, he also said that Li Tang's city was strong. Not easy to attack. Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan also has no foundation in his heart about whether he can win Li Tang. Coupled with the fact that Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan knows Bazhuo's ability to lead troops, it can be said that he is definitely a straw bag. Sometimes, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan was eager to say to Bazhuo - you are a cow, even a sheep is stronger than you now, at least the cattle and sheep can be killed and eaten for meat, and you, except for wasting food, can do nothing. However, to really let Bazhuo go to death, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan was a little reluctant - Bazhuo was not only his own son, but also a pawn to contain Tuli and reckless.

"Reckless! Your opinion is good, but you have also seen Bazhuo's ability to lead troops, the last time Bazhuo went to dig the ancestral grave of the Turks, he almost lost his life, you want to go to Bazhuo again this time, do you dare to go to Bazhuo? ”

"Father Khan, although the Tiele tribes are temporarily surrendered to our Xue Yantuo, but if there is no Prince Xue Yantuo in charge, I am afraid that the Tiele tribes will not be able to contribute, and there is that when the time comes, after the Tiele tribes take the Tianci mine, they will take all the things in the mine for themselves, and will not give us the Xue Yantuo Khanate a slightest." Xue Yantuo True Pearl Viga Khan Yinan looked at Tu Lishu:

"What is your opinion?" Tu Lishu is also not used to Bazhuo, and he is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, always thinking that he is the Khan's son-in-law. If it weren't for the fierceness of his mother's clan, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan was very fond of his mother and aunt. Moreover, Bazhuo's ambition is known to be lost, and there is only one position of the Khan of the Xue Yantuo Khanate, and he is not as aggressive as Bazhuo, however, from the words of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan, Tu Lishu feels that Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan is not willing to be Bazhuo to death. Tuli lost for a while, and didn't know what to say. The three of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan, Lu Mang, and Tu Lisu all fell silent. In the end, it was Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan.

"Forget it, this person should also have more experience. Tomorrow, let Ba Zhuo select the elites of the Tiele Alliance and Xue Yantuo's headquarters, and go to the Tianci Mine to find out the bottom! ”

"Yes! Father Khan! ”
