Chapter 175:

"Well, it's indeed a wolf ambition!"

Li Hong nodded with a heavy face and continued.

"Although the Turks are defeated countries this time, they stoop down and surrender! But there is no doubt that without the restraint of Ashdwin Fu, Ashina Funian will truly and completely control the entire Turkic, and no one will be able to stop him from now on! ”

As soon as Li Hong's words came out, everyone was stunned.

Which is more threatening, a divided Turk or a centralized monarchy? The latter is undoubtedly the same!

Historically, the collapse of a country has been due to internal strife and self-consumption, not to mention that now it seems that this monarch who is about to control the Turks is not a mediocre lord!

At this thought, the hearts of everyone present were a little heavier.

Neither Xu Jingzong nor Dai Zhide expected that the battle of the Western Expedition would clear the obstacles for Ashina Funian.

"Your Royal Highness, since Ashina Fu Nian has already handed over the letter of surrender, I, Datang, should help him calm down the civil strife, what's wrong with this matter? What's more, since Ashina Funian has surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, the stronger his control over the Turks, wouldn't it be more beneficial to my Tang Dynasty? ”

Zhang Wenqian hesitated for a moment, but still asked with a little doubt, after all, the old man has never entered the political affairs hall to practice, and the angle of looking at political issues is still simpler.

In his opinion, Ashina Fu Nian handed over the surrender letter, and he has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and his role is nothing more than the same as the role of Dadu Hu, helping the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the border, not to mention that the Turks are now suffering from great injuries, and what big waves can they make!

"Hehe, Master Zhang, what you think is too simple!"

Li Hong was stunned at first, and then reacted immediately. Old man Zhang had never been in contact with this aspect of affairs before, and it was normal to have this kind of thought. I had to explain patiently.

"The Turks are the Hu people, and they are not civilized. Naturally, I don't know what etiquette and righteousness are, and what faith and righteousness are! For them, as long as they can live, anything can be left behind, let alone a piece of paper? ”

Li Hong's tone was slightly cold, implying sarcasm.

In fact, unconsciously, Li Hong was still influenced by the original owner, who received an orthodox Confucian education. Naturally, he hated this kind of behavior, and even Li Hong couldn't have a good impression of the Turks!

"When the first emperor was here, the Turks still respected my Tang Emperor as the Khan, but now in just a few years, there are many provocations on the border, which shows that in the hearts of the Turks, the way of etiquette and righteousness is just a piece of waste paper!"

In fact, Li Hong still didn't say a word.

Even between the great powers, all contracts were based on equality, although now the Turks were subservient to the Tang Dynasty. But once they get back strong, it's a sure thing to rebel again!

To put it mildly, the Turks are an immature wolf!

Far from it, the Weishui Alliance has only been many years now. How many rebellions have broken out in the Turks!

"Of course, Lord Zhang, a sincere gentleman, will definitely not have such thoughts. But this matter has to be prevented! ”

After a pause, Li Hong added another sentence. After all, Zhang Wenjun's face still has to be taken into account.

"But didn't my Datang also place the Metropolitan Protectorate at the border?"

Old man Zhang's face was slightly red, but he still asked.

"Different. Distinct! ”

This time, it was Dai Zhide who waved his hand and said slowly.

"The Duhu Mansion is under the rule of my Tang Dynasty, and all the people are my people of the Tang Dynasty, so they are naturally loyal to my Tang Dynasty, and Ashina Fu Nian is a foreign race after all, and the wolf is ambitious! Taking a step back, the Protectorate is under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty can make the main general change people and replace him with a Turkic Khan, is it possible? ”

Old man Dai said it clearly and clearly, but it was a little tactful enough, which made Zhang Wenqian a little unable to get off the stage.

"Hmph, such wolf ambitions, a gentleman doesn't do it!"

After a while, the old man shook his head, knowing that he would definitely not be able to play this trick when he played conspiracy, he gave Dai Zhide a contemptuous look, sat down angrily, and stopped talking.

made Dai Zhide speechless for a while, this old friend's temperament is really ......

Glancing at Li Hong, Dai Zhide also saw a slightly helpless smile in Li Hong's eyes.

"Well, His Royal Highness the Prince's concern is indeed justified, but now it is not easy to stop Ashina Fu Nian?"

Xu Jingzong stroked his fat belly with a distressed expression.

He had long expected that it would be nothing good for Li Hong to invite him, but he didn't expect it to be such a hot potato.

If I knew that this was the case, it was better to kill Ashina Fu Nian directly!

However, Xu Jingzong himself also knew that this was basically unlikely, after all, now that Datang had accepted the Turkic surrender, he would go back on his word, not to mention that the emperor would never agree, and Datang couldn't afford to lose this person!

What's more, the biggest crux of the problem now is still on the emperor's body, the conditions proposed by Ashina Fu Nian are too tempting, and now His Majesty the Emperor has obviously moved his heart, if anyone says bad things about Ashina Fu Nian now, he will definitely hit the muzzle of the gun!

"Uh......"

Feeling Xu Jingzong's resentful gaze at him, Li Hong's scalp was a little numb, but he spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's actually a not-so-good news here......"

Xu Jingzong's heart sank suddenly, the current situation is bad enough, what worse news is there?

However, things are always not subject to human will, and often the more people worry, the more likely it is to happen.

In Xu Jingzong's ugly face, Li Hong still spoke slowly.

"This time, Ashina Fu Nian brought a lot of cattle, sheep and gems to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, Lone also got the news that after Ashina Fu Nian entered Beijing, he would ask for an exchange with Datang!"

Li Hong's voice was very light, but the coldness in it was rushing to his face.

The Tang Dynasty is the most tolerant of foreign races in the past dynasties, and there are many blonde and blue-eyed Hu people doing business in the west market of Chang'an City, although the status of foreign races in the Tang Dynasty is not as good as ordinary people, but relatively speaking, the Tang Dynasty is a tolerant and rich land!

The Turks are an exception, as the Turks have rebelled several times, causing unrest on the border!

So as early as a few years ago, Li Zhi had already ordered that any trade with the Turks was forbidden!

The Turks are a typical nomadic people who do not farm, so for them, daily necessities such as salt, ironware, and silk are common in the Tang Dynasty, but for the Turks, they are worth a thousand gold.

However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty forbade mutual markets, so the Turks could only rely on some smuggled things to survive, and when they couldn't hold on, a rebellion would occur......

This is an unsolvable cycle, give them something, and after it is strong, it will backfire against the Tang Dynasty, if you don't give it, the Turks will not survive and there will be rebellions, and the Turks have lived in the steppe for generations, and they can't completely conquer at all.

So no matter what dynasty it is, nomads are a problem!

This time, the mutual market proposed by Ashina Fu Nian is obviously a trick of the white wolf with empty gloves, it is not that Datang has not opened up trade before, but the result is that the Turks directly snatch everything, and the people on the border have nothing to return to, and finally the Turks have made a plea to the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to start a war with them for this little thing!

So in the end, Li Zhi couldn't bear it anymore and closed the mutual market.

"Mutual Market...... That's really bad news! ”

Xu Jingzong muttered to himself.

Speaking of which, Ashina Fu Nian's proposal seems reasonable, but judging from the conditions he originally proposed, it is very suspicious.

Although the current Turkic vitality is greatly damaged, with the help of Datang, it will only be a few decades to recover!

If trade is truly completely opened, I am afraid that this time will be even shorter!

But what Ashina Fu Nian gave to the Tang Dynasty was an illusory pie, intermarrying within three generations? What if it doesn't take three generations of Turks to fully recover?

Whether it will continue to surrender to Datang at that time, I'm afraid it will be a big question mark!

At that time, Datang will be tantamount to cultivating a powerful enemy for itself for free, in exchange for only a few decades of peace, or even shorter!

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! ”

Dai Zhide's face was distressed, and he said in a loud voice. (To be continued.) )
