Chapter 240: Conspiracy

What Old Man Xu said was actually quite polite.

However, the meaning of the words is to say that Li Hong's method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, indeed, now that the Turks are weak and can't afford to make any trouble, it is feasible to transfer all their young and middle-aged people!

In a short period of time, the internal emptiness of the Turks will definitely ensure the tranquility of the border, but once the Turks recover their vitality and become strong again, things will be troublesome, and such a large number of Turks in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty are a very big threat.

And the top priority now should be to convince His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise, everything will be in vain!

I have to say that Xu Jingzong, who calmed down, revealed his original old fox nature.

In the audience, he saw most clearly, although what Li Hong said was very beautiful, but in today's Tang Dynasty, it is still Li Zhi who has the final say, as long as Ashina firmly grasps Li Zhi's mind, even if Li Hong's method is good, I am afraid it will not be implemented.

However, Li Hong was not in a hurry and spoke.

"This matter is just an expedient measure, and it is too naΓ―ve for the Turks to try to deceive their father and emperor to achieve their wolf ambitions!"

Although he has just said so much, Li Hong's real killer move has not yet been revealed.

However, the trace of sharpness revealed in the eyebrows made Xu Jingzong's heart feel a little cold, I am afraid that this time, the Turks really made a mistake!

"If you want to kingify the Turks, in fact, you don't have to go through the way of harmony, the lonely side just said that the reason why the Turks have rebelled repeatedly is nothing more than that their strength is too strong!

In this case, as long as the root is extracted from the root, it will naturally make the Turks no longer have the power to resist! ”

Li Hong smiled slightly. Showing white teeth, but with a chill from Sensen.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Hao Chujun frowned. Asked with some doubts.

"Actually, you've all heard the method just now, but it's just a layer of window paper. It's broken, it's actually simple. ”

Li Hong's tone became a little mysterious.

Without waiting for everyone to react, he continued.

"The Turks are good at taming horses, they have lived on the grassland for generations, their people are very rough, savage, just Gu once said, let them take good horses, cattle and sheep as compensation to pay to the Tang Dynasty, so that. Without good horses, the Turks' strength will be reduced by more than half. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they didn't expect Li Hong's method of compensation to contain such ingenious thoughts.

Indeed, the Turks can be described as a nation on horseback, if there are no good horses, its military strength is not as simple as halving, and on the contrary, the Tang cavalry is invincible. If there are more good horses, the military strength will inevitably multiply, and it will be difficult for the Turks to continue to rebel under the elimination of one and the other.

"And. Now the opportunity is at the right time, the Turks are struggling internally, and I, Datang, can take advantage of the situation. He bribed his people with grain and money, and supported merchants to buy his beef cattle and lambs at high prices. In this way, the Turks will inevitably abandon what little cultivation they had. If it can make it eat, all the food, salt, and other things depend on my Datang! How dare they rebel again? ”

Li Hong's voice was calm, but it caused an uproar in everyone's hearts.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Dai Zhide spoke.

"One piece and one relaxation, both grace and power, His Royal Highness is really smart, and there are people who are like kings!"

After that, he solemnly arched his hand!

But Li Hong did not stop his words and continued.

"In this way, if it is operated properly, after a hundred years, the Turkic armed forces will be abolished, and the grain, cloth and other things will depend on my Datang, so there is no need to say it explicitly, it will naturally be included in my Datang territory, so why do you need to take the road of harmony?"

In fact, in his heart, Li Hong was quite disgusted with the matter of harmony, and felt that only an incompetent empire would use such a method to ensure the safety of one party.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, why put the heavy responsibility of the country on the shoulders of a woman.

Li Hong believes that as long as the Turks can be recovered, in what way, Li Zhi will not care, and the only thing that needs to be taken into account is the pressure of public opinion above the court.

But at this point, Li Hong believes that with the strength of these people in the hall, it will not be a problem to suppress it at all!

As for the opinion of the Turkic side?

Hehe, a defeated country, what reason does it have to dare to give an opinion!

You must know that the army of the Western Expedition is still waiting outside the city to be awarded, and if things are not harmonious, it is not impossible to send troops to the Turks again......

On the other side, in a house in the west city of Chang'an.

A group of Turks is also discussing something.

And sitting in the middle of the lobby is Ashina Fu Nian, who should have stayed in Honglu Temple!

"I've seen Khan!"

In addition to Ashina Fu Nian, there were several bearded Turks, all of whom stood with their bows, their hands on their chests, and respectfully saluted Ashina Fu Nian.

"Tu Lie, you have been doing business in Datang for so many years, what useful information have you found?"

And Ashina Fu Nian in the middle didn't talk much nonsense, and asked directly.

One of them, a gorgeously dressed Turkic man, immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Great Khan, Tulie has traveled back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks over the years, and has also accumulated a lot of intelligence! His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is now frail and sickly, and political affairs are generally entrusted to the queen, so the position of the queen in the Tang Dynasty is also extremely important! ”

"Oh? Can this queen mother get close? ”

Ashina raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

"This ......"

Tu Lie's face was a little ugly, and he said in embarrassment, in the early spring weather, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his face.

"Great Khan, I'm afraid this is a little difficult, this queen mother is extremely shrewd, and now she is pregnant, I'm afraid it will be difficult to approach!"

Unexpectedly, Ashina's face sank suddenly.

Tulie swallowed his saliva and said cautiously.

"But the queen mother is difficult to approach, but her nephew Wu Sansi is extremely greedy for money, and he is a friend with a small one, so he should be able to help!"

"Wu Sansi?"

Ashina Fu Nian frowned and asked.

"Who is this person? Can the emperor of the Tang Dynasty influence? ”

"This Wu Sansi is the nephew of the queen mother, he just attacked the Duke of Zhou a few months ago, he is the most greedy and lustful, presumably as long as the Great Khan gives him enough wealth and beautiful women, he will be able to do things for the Great Khan wholeheartedly, as for his influence, the queen mother is now the only nephew in Chang'an City, he should have a little face!"

The cold sweat on Tulie's face increased, and his tone became a little uncertain.

In fact, he and Wu Sansi are just general friends, and I'm really not sure if he can play a role, but now he can only be a dead horse doctor.

Ashina Fu Nian looked at Tu Lie like this, frowned, and no longer held on to this matter, now that he had no one at hand, he had to reluctantly give in.

After a pause, he asked about one thing he cared about the most.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is outside the city today, can you inquire clearly? What kind of man is he? (To be continued.) )
