Li Hong shook his head slightly, but smiled faintly and said in a deep voice.

"Xu Xiang is wrong! I'm sure they'll agree to come! ”

At this moment, everyone in the hall was puzzled, especially Xu Jingzong, who was directly refuted by Li Hong, his face was a little unpleasant, and he asked rhetorically.

"Then please tell me why they must come?"

"Hehe, Xu Xiang thinks about it, what is the reason why the Turks are reluctant to leave the tribe?"

Li Hong smiled indifferently and continued to ask.

Everyone looked at each other, obviously not thinking that this was a problem, the homeland is difficult to leave, this is human nature, do you still need a reason?

However, Li Hong obviously expected them to think so, and before Xu Jingzong could speak, he spoke.

"You should know that the Turks are different from my Tang people, who have lived in the grassland for generations, and the tribes have no fixed place and often move, unlike my Tang people, who have been farming all their lives, and many people have lived their whole lives without leaving a radius of 100 miles! So the so-called homeland, in fact, the Turks have nothing to give up! ”

"This ......"

Xu Jingzong hesitated suddenly, and had to say that he hadn't taken this into account before.

Although he has stayed in the court for so many years and knows a lot about the livelihood of the common people, if he talks about the life of the Turks, he is inevitably a little unfamiliar.

All his information comes from the report of the Ministry of War, and naturally he will not be very clear about this matter, not to mention that in the minds of the Tang people, the Turks are uncivilized people, and they don't bother to understand how they live, as long as they know their armament status and keep the border peaceful.

So just now Li Hongyi mentioned this matter. Xu Jingzong subconsciously substituted the people of the Tang Dynasty, you know. In Datang, even the poverty is extremely poor. Few people are willing to leave their hometowns.

But if it's not because it's hard to leave the homeland, then why?

You must know that this method has not been tried before, but it was opposed by both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and finally had to give up!

"What I am worried about in the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than what Dai Xiang said just now, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, if a large number of Turkic people pour into the hinterland of our Central Plains, it will inevitably have an immeasurable impact on the security of the imperial court. Even echoing inside and outside, it is the instability of the Datang artifact. ”

Li Hong's tone was slightly solemn, and his voice became a little low.

At the same time, Xu Jingzong also nodded secretly, this is indeed very tricky, you know, although these people are stragglers, but when they gather, their strength should not be underestimated.

And although he did not know much about the habits of the Turkic life. But I also know that almost all the Turks practice martial arts, and they act as soldiers in wartime, and if there is a riot in the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably make the people panic. and even greater damage.

"However, the current situation is exceptional, and now that the battle for the Western Expedition has just ended, the Turks have suffered heavy losses. For me, the Tang army was already scared to the bones, and when General Pei returned. 300,000 troops have been repatriated to the cantonal garrisons, even if the Turks are coming at this moment. I don't dare to do anything wrong!

In addition, the Turks can't make up many strong men now, and the number of people is still within a controllable range, if the local armies are ordered to strengthen supervision, there should be no chaos.

What's more, the Turks are now suffering from a great loss of vitality, how dare they start a war again, and if no one organizes it, it is just a group of rabble, so what is there to fear?

And Lone has another way to restrain them, so I don't have to worry about their different intentions! ”

Li Hong talked eloquently, and said a lot in one breath, which finally made everyone's hearts slowly put in their stomachs.

"And what else did Your Highness say?"

It was Xu Jingzong, after the toss just now, he was still a little uneasy at the moment, and asked cautiously.

"Xu Xiang, don't be impatient!"

Li Hong smiled faintly and continued.

"The matter within my Datang is solved, and why do the Turks not want to come to my Datang under the heavy reward, one is that the Turks lack food, if there is no man, the tribe cannot hunt, and it will not survive, and the Turks are not very peaceful, and they often fight each other, so the men will not leave the tribe easily.

There is also a difficult winter, if there are fewer men, only women and children are left, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the cold winter! ”

It is true that for the Turks, although the tribe moves from time to time, the people do not change, and if there are no men in the tribe, perhaps by the time they return, the tribe will have been annexed by other powerful tribes.

"But this situation is not unsolvable, now that I, Datang, have decided to transport grain to help them survive the winter, there must be no need for hunting!

In addition, the Lone Association added an article to the negotiations, all the tribes who are willing to migrate to the border of our Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army will protect them, so that they can leave with peace of mind! ”

Li Hong's face was calm, but there was an unexpected hint of coldness in his voice.

However, Xu Jingzong's heart suddenly froze, and he suddenly understood what the other method Li Hong was talking about......

"Moreover, since their tribe is under the protection of my Datang, it is expected that those Turks who have entered Datang will not dare to have any dissent, otherwise with those women and children alone, my Datang can be wiped out with a wave of his hand! Moreover, most of those young and strong people have been recruited to the Tang Dynasty, even if the Turks have any ideas, they can't make any big waves! ”

Xu Jingzong's tone was slightly cold, and he said lightly what Li Hong had not finished.

It made Li Hong a little surprised in his heart, the reason why he didn't say it so clearly just now was that he was afraid that these people would find it difficult to accept this.

Indeed, after the removal of the men from the tribe, it can be said that the Turkic soldiers have been fundamentally cut off, and even if they want to do any more tricks, they have no power!

And they gathered the women and children in their tribe in the name of protection, but in fact they were taken hostage, and the Turks who entered the Tang Dynasty were divided into An'an, and they didn't dare to have any ideas!

"Your Highness's plan is very good, but I think that Ashina Fu Nian is not a stupid person, how can he not see the harm of this move, and he will not agree to this matter!"

Hao Chujun frowned and said, obviously still having some doubts about this matter.

"Therefore, this matter needs General Pei's cooperation!"

Li Hong's eyes flashed, but he looked at Pei Xingjian with a smile, which made the latter stunned for a while.

But he didn't wait long, and Li Hong continued to ask.

"If Lone is not mistaken, the fine work that General Pei sent to the Turks at the beginning has not been completely withdrawn now, right?"

Pei Xingjian was suddenly pointed at by Li Hong, he was confused, and when he heard this, he replied with a little doubt.

"Your Highness is wise, it is true that all the fine works sent by the original minister have not returned with the army, and some of them are still in the Turks in case of accidents!"

Although he said that, Pei Xingjian still had a questioning face, obviously not knowing why Li Hong suddenly asked this! (To be continued.) )
