Chapter 584: Datang's Appetite
Wang Xuance looked at the unconscious Ju Wentai sympathetically again, and when he turned his head, he already had a straight face: "One guest is not bothering the two masters, the affairs of the alliance are still based on Gaochang, although His Royal Highness the prince is young, he is also young and promising, and the burden that should be borne is still for the lord of the country." ”
Sympathy is one thing, but sympathy does not mean that it can delay the Tang Dynasty's plans in the Western Regions. Therefore, Wang Xuance is still very happy to accept the letter of submission that Ma Wanjie took the initiative to sent.
And his remarks were undoubtedly a special effect reassuring pill for Ju Zhisheng and Ma Wanjie who were hesitating, but Ma Wanjie was still a little uneasy, hesitated and asked tentatively: "Wang Shijun, His Royal Highness the Prince is young after all, and suddenly interfering in the affairs of the alliance will cause dissatisfaction among other countries?" ”
"Dissatisfied? Why? Wang Xuance frowned slightly: "The lord of Gaochang is seriously ill because of the affairs of the alliance, and the temporary replacement of His Royal Highness the Prince is also the right thing to do, what are they dissatisfied with?" Do you really want to tire people to death? ”
This is already a red fruit to indicate that the Tang Dynasty will support Ju Zhisheng to exercise the power of the lord of the country, and it is also equivalent to recognizing Ju Zhisheng as the lord of Gaochang in disguise.
"Foreign Minister Xie Wang Shijun instructed." Ma Wanjie was overjoyed when he got the assurance he wanted, but soon he thought of another question, and said with some hesitation: "Shi Jun, if other countries have different intentions, I wonder if Shi Jun can make decisions for Gaochang?" ”
"This is natural, Gaochang is a vassal country of my Tang Dynasty, how can he be bullied." Wang Xuance's answer was categorical, leaving no room for anything, and at the same time he looked at Ma Wanjie with a deep gaze, which made him make an oath very clear.
Bai Wenmo is right, subverting Gaochang's regime and fostering a pro-Tang force in the Western Regions is the fastest and most labor-saving approach. Compared with Wang Xuance's plan to sow discord at the beginning, it is many times stronger in terms of execution speed and control.
But in the same way, Wang Xuance is also worried that he will be used as a gunman, if with his support, the lord of Gaochang will be replaced, but in the end, he will still have a pro-Turkic Yuan Tang as before, that is to throw people abroad.
So he needs Ma Wanjie's assurance, although for politicians the assurance is tantamount to fart, but that is also a strong country can do this to a weak country, and the reverse is not possible.
Under Ma Wanjie's constantly blinking eyes, Ju Zhisheng knew that it was time for him to go out, so he assured without even thinking about it: "Please rest assured Wang Shijun, if I, Gaochang, can get through this difficulty, I will definitely take the lead of the Tang Dynasty in the future, but there is no other thing to say." ”
"I hope so." Wang Xuance couldn't deny 'um', and then said: "This meeting has dragged on for too long, and it has not been a satisfactory result for several months, if it drags on any longer, the Tang soldiers are afraid that they will be hungry." ”
Everything about the alliance, Ma Wanjie has already said it to Ju Zhisheng in the past few days, and at this time, Wang Xuance mentioned it, and Xiao Ju immediately swore and promised: "Wang Shijun rest assured, Xiao Wang will immediately go to convene the envoys of various countries, and the CCP in the palace will discuss this matter tomorrow, and he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes." ”
Wang Xuance nodded with a smile, expressing his satisfaction with Ju Zhisheng's attitude, and then said: "Khotan has a vast territory, and it should take more responsibility, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince has noticed this?" ”
"Khotan?" Ju Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why Wang Xuance suddenly mentioned Khotan.
As far as he knew, Khotan should have promised to provide 10,000 sergeants with military rations, and now that he brought it up again, it seemed that he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Moreover, if Khotan is allowed to take more military rations, it will undoubtedly make things worse, and at the same time, it will also add countless variables to the proceedings, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a result that satisfies Wang Xuance within one day.
However, Ju Zhisheng can't understand it, it doesn't mean that Ma Wanjie can't understand it.
The old guy had already figured out at the moment when Wang Xuance had just finished speaking, this was Wang Xuance asking Ju Zhisheng for a name.
If you don't do what Wang Xuance said, then everything mentioned above will come to naught, and Ju Zhisheng's dream of controlling Gaochang will be shattered immediately, and it is likely that he will be killed.
So the old man couldn't wait to explain anything to Ju Zhisheng, so he said in Xiao Ju's puzzled gaze: "No problem, the foreign minister will definitely do it, but I don't know how much military ration Khotan needs to come up with?" Please also ask Shi Jun to command. ”
"Add another 30,000 troops to the army." Wang Xuance stretched out three fingers and compared with Ma Wanjie, but his eyes were looking at Ju Zhisheng, paying attention to the change in his expression.
"Three, 30,000 military rations?" Ju Zhisheng's face was full of surprise, and there was no expression of dissatisfaction.
"It is to add another 30,000 troops to the army, which means that Khotan is responsible for the food supply of 40,000 soldiers." Wang Xuance corrected Ju Zhisheng's statement.
"But, but...... It has already been said that Khotan is only responsible for the food of 10,000 people, and now it will add 30,000 ...... Could it be, could there be any other changes? After hesitating, Ju Zhisheng finally expressed the doubts in his heart.
"A great country has the responsibility of a great power, and Khotan, as a big country in the Western Regions, must always set some examples, otherwise how can he lead one side!" Wang Xuance smiled coldly and said very domineeringly: "Of course, if Yu Khotan doesn't want to take on this responsibility, then ...... There is no need to exist. ”
Ju Zhisheng's whole person trembled, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what Wang Xuance wanted to do.
He is using Gao Chang as a gunman, and it is the kind of deadly gun.
As long as he does what Wang Xuance said, then in the future, Gaochang can only rely on Datang to live and become a loyal dog that Datang put in the Western Regions. Whoever Datang wants him to bite, he will bite whomever he wants, and he has no autonomy.
But he understood a little late, and Ma Wanjie's old thing didn't tell him all the plans, so Ju Zhisheng was in a state of confusion.
On the one hand, there is the upcoming position of the lord of the country, of course, this requires the support of Datang.
On the other hand, if you rely on the power of the Tang Dynasty, then Gaochang will inevitably become a public enemy of the Western Regions in the future, and all countries in the Western Regions will reject Gaochang, and there will be no place for Gaochang in the Western Regions.
Ma Wanjie saw Ju Zhisheng's struggle, thought about it and said to Wang Xuance: "Wang Shijun, His Royal Highness the Prince is still young, and he has less experience in state affairs, please don't be surprised." ”
Wang Xuance had a smile on his face, and said lightly: "It's okay, everyone has a young age, if His Royal Highness the prince can't think about it for a while, you can think about it slowly, Wang is by no means strong." ”
