"See Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor!" Wu Chengsi entered the palace and met the two supremes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Cousin is here, give me a seat!" Li Dan is a pure gentleman, and he commanded the inner servant, as for Wu Zetian, she is an elder and a supreme, so there is no need to be polite to Wu Chenghei.

After Wu Chengsi sat down, he talked for a while, and then played: "The Eastern Turk Khanate Bone Lu requests to be attached!" ”

"They sued for peace?" Li Dan couldn't help but say excitedly.

The Turks think they are the descendants of the wolf god, unruly, and they are so partial that they control more than 100,000 strings, once they go south, the Tang Dynasty is shaken, and the number of police is counted a day, and the Tang lords of the past dynasties can't sleep when they hear that the Turks are coming.

Now bow his head and admit defeat, although Li Dan is not in power, he is also happy.

"Exactly!" Wu Chengsi said with a smile on his face: "Ashina Gu Dulu sent an envoy to find his subordinates, one is to admit his mistake, saying that it was a big mistake to sin my Tang Dynasty before, and repeatedly ask for sin, and send 300 good horses!" 1,000 cows and 10,000 sheep! ”

The Turks also have nothing to give to the Tang Dynasty, only livestock to give to them, so the nomads either cheat, and if they can't cheat, they will rob the Central Plains, they lack everything, and they can't even make a barrel.

"Second, they asked for it!" After that, Wu Chenghei submitted a form of intercession to the Turks.

He was also in charge of the Ministry of Rites and was qualified to deal with the Turks, and naturally, he accepted a lot of bribes from the Turks.

The Turks did not produce anything, but they had what they had looted before, and they had good goods, so they took them out and gave them away.

In fact, the Turks want to open up the joint the most is the general Wei Xi, he is the main general, as long as he nods and makes peace, the big thing will be decided.

Otherwise, even if he negotiates with other officials, if he jumps out to make trouble, he will not succeed enough and will lose more than anything.

just went to the gate of the princess's mansion, and the doorman said that the general didn't have time to see them, and he didn't even see them.

Oil and salt are not entered, he has money, he is not short of horses, he does not dare to accept beautiful women, and powerful Turks cannot give him.

In desperation, he had to ask Wu Chenghe, but Wu Chengsi was willing to accept money and do things, and he was powerful, and immediately asked for the front of the palace.

"Then you can leave it here for now!" Wu Zetian didn't talk to him either.

Wu Chengsi spoke for a while, and then he said goodbye and left, and Li Dan also left.

"Wan'er, what do you think?" Wu Zetian asked Shangguan Wan'er.

"But we can be false and wrong, no war and no peace, waiting for our plan to be launched." Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Do you want to tell Wu Chenghe?" She asked.

"No, the fewer people who know, the better." Wu Tongtian shook his head and said.

"Yes!".

……

Wu Chengsi was ordered to negotiate with the Turks, but he couldn't be the master, and what he offered was the price set by Wu Zetian:

The Eastern Turkic post-Khanate Gu Dulu removed the honorific title (no longer called the Great Khan);

The tribes were divided into ten tribes and scattered to various states, except for Gu Lulu, who had the position of governor, the rest of the tribal chiefs did not, and all the Turks became Tang people, swore allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, and were under the jurisdiction of the Tang magistrates!

"This, this, this, this ......" beads of sweat oozed from the head of the Eastern Turkic envoy.

Compared with the "ethnic regional autonomy" inherited from the Taizong Dynasty in the past (the chief should be the governor or assassin of the history, but hereditary, the imperial court does not interfere in the internal affairs of all ethnic groups) has a great regression, and the conditions are extremely harsh.

used to live happily, the Tang people didn't care about their actions, and there was money and food for free, and even the Turks made trouble, hitting the Tang people, the Tang people were afraid of things, and they mostly tolerated it.

Now, the Tang people want to dismember the Turkic tribes, and in a few years, will there still be Turks?

Defy? Come to war!

If the battle is successful, the Turks will not send envoys, what can be taken with swords and arrows, and the descendants of the wolf god will not speak with their mouths!

Although the political situation in the Tang Dynasty is somewhat unstable, the army of the Tang Dynasty is still stable, with the general Wei Xi and his generals eyeing each other, they are also very different from the previous generals, they are killed first and then negotiate. (Talking to the air?) ）

The envoy had a great headache, and he could not be the master, so he could only send fast horses to report to the Turkic tent.

Then the Turkic nobles counteroffered, and the Tang Dynasty countered again, and the two sides argued, and time went by.

……

When spring came, the Turks in Hangai Mountain drove their cattle, horses and sheep back to the south one after another.

Although it was safe there, the winter was so windy and cold that the snow was so thick that the livestock could not pick it up and could not get grass under the snow, and as a result, twice as many cattle and sheep died as before.

To the south, the snow is thinner and the grass is longer, and when it snows, livestock can turn over the snow to nibble on grass.

Without livestock, soon people would starve to death, so as soon as spring arrived, they hurried south.

But within the Line of Actual Control of Datang, they did not dare to enter.

Compared to before, the Turks felt that life was not easy.

They are not allowed to loot for a living, but can only herd cattle to make a living.

The further south you go, the more abundant the water and grass become, especially on the edge of the Yellow River, where there is water and grass, and the grass there grows as if there is oil, and all the livestock are fed to grow tall with a brush.

In the past, the Turks occupied the north bank of the Yellow River and often grazed cattle on the south bank of the Yellow River, just like their own homes.

Now, both sides of the Yellow River are occupied by the Tang people, and the herdsmen of the Tang people graze their cattle there in a leisurely manner, and they can only stare dryly.

Not only did Tang herders appear on the north bank of the Yellow River, but Tang farmers also appeared, reclaiming wasteland and diverting water for irrigation.

In the hinterland, 100 acres of land per capita is often not enough.

Here, nominally 200 acres of land are divided, but in fact, it doesn't matter how many acres they have to reclaim, as long as they hand over the grain! There are also large areas of unclaimed pastoral areas left to graze, which is a paradise for the industrious 'Chinese' farmers.

As for the Turks calling, the peasant uncle is afraid, but the government said that the income from planting and grazing on the north bank will be underwritten by the government and robbed by the Turks, and the government will not compensate the people but will give the people rations to live, and give them funds to start over, it must be three years.

The army is also a last resort, although the army can be tuntian, but those big-headed soldiers are willing to take hoes, and it is possible to mutiny!

As long as there is the slightest possibility, then recruit domestic farmers to work.

This place is also close to the inland states and counties of the country, and some farmers can still be recruited to come and work.

There are always farmers who are not afraid of death.

In the Western Regions, it is not possible, it is too far away from the country, and the soldiers really need to work with hoes if they want to eat food.

Some Turks tried to cross the border, and soon the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty appeared, coming like a whirlwind, shouting loudly, driving them away.

The young Turks were naturally angry and wanted to use their swords and arrows!

The former territory of labor and management, when will it be your turn to be crooked?

The older Turks stopped them and left with a nod.

Faced with the doubts of the tribesmen, the older Turks smiled bitterly: "Look at their horses! ”

The young Turks understood when they looked at the horses, the other party's horses did not lose fat, damn it, the Tang people were so extravagant that they fed the horses with grain!

After a winter, the horses will be "thin in spring", and if you run long-distance battles at this time, the probability of death is very high!

And when the horses are fed with grain, the horses with oil and water (fed with beans) can run, and they are not limited by spring thinness.

Everyone is not equal, how can this battle be fought.

The older Turks would not only look at the condition of the horses, but also observe the mental outlook of the Tang people, and what they saw was the kind of people who were eager to try and think about the kind of Turks who made trouble, so they could only sigh and retreat.
