(Thank you for being a monk, Yunzhi's monthly pass, and the reward for killing the gods)

Cui Yingying has a new baby and can't wait to tell everyone, Su Mo'er came to the palace and was dragged to the bedroom by her before she sat down, the world has been peaceful recently, Su Mo'er has a lot less work, and many times she is very idle, so she came to Cui Yingying to say some private words between women, and the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, like sisters.

Getting psychological satisfaction from Su Mo'er's envious eyes, Cui Yingying called the Zheng sisters over again, and the four women chattered non-stop, Li Su suddenly became a superfluous person, so he retreated decisively after arranging Sha's position.

After coming out of the palace, Li Su took a few guards to the mansion where Murong Shun was placed under house arrest, and Murong Fuyun didn't plan to pay attention to it, if nothing else, he might die of old age in Chang'an.

The courtyard of Murong Shun under house arrest is not far from the place where Wang Qi lives, just a distance from a square, this pavilion is very simple, it is a temporary residence for visiting officials on weekdays, there is a main hall and four side rooms inside, at this time, there are hundreds of soldiers wearing plate armor guarding the outside of the pavilion, and the entire pavilion is surrounded inside and out, he is not afraid that Murong Shun will escape, but is worried about the assassination of Tuyuhun, for those who compete for the throne, the easiest way to solve it is to assassinate, King Zun and King Tianzhu must also understand this truth.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Li Su, the soldiers all gave a military salute to Li Su, they are all soldiers of the Central Army, they are Li Su's descendants, and they have been with Li Su for a month in Songzhou, and they are no strangers to Li Su.

Li Su returned a military salute and entered the pavilion from the main entrance, at this time Murong Shun was wandering back and forth in the courtyard, as if he was thinking about something, when he heard the movement, he turned his head, and saw that it was Li Su, and his face showed a trace of awe. Respectfully saluted Li Su, who had learned how to deal with these Tang Dynasty nobles over the years of being a proton.

"Murong Shun greets His Highness!"

"Excuse me!" Li Yu kindly gave a hand, "Since you have agreed to the mention of His Majesty, that is, you have a brotherly alliance with the Tang Dynasty, so why bother with these!" ”

Murong Shun's expression was gloomy, knowing that Li Suding had learned from Wang Qi that he had agreed to Li Shimin's proposal, so he said, "Murong Shun has also lived in the Tang Dynasty for several years, and this etiquette still cannot be abolished." ”

Murong Shun insisted on saluting, and Li Su had to accept it. He said: "The king of the famous king in the Tang Dynasty is also aware of the matter, but the king did not expect that it was Murong Fuyun who actually re-established the crown prince, and it is said that this is all instigated by the king of Tianzhu." ”

Li Su's words were intended to arouse the anger of Murong Shun's heart towards the king, and when he heard this, Murong Shun said: "Hey, if it weren't for the conspiracy between King Zun and King Tianzhu, my father Khan would not have abolished my position as the crown prince, let alone raised troops to attack Songzhou and cause such a catastrophe." ”

"In this case, it will be dangerous for the king to go back. The King and the King of the Pillars of Heaven must be against you. Taking the opportunity, Li Su got to the point.

Hearing this, Murong Shun frowned, although Li Shimin promised to give him soldiers and horses. But there won't be too many soldiers and horses, and after he takes the throne, these people will definitely return to the Tang Dynasty, and after that, he will still have to face the internal rebel forces of Tuyuhun, but how can he choose other than this path. He could only go back with his head down, and thinking of this, he sighed deeply. "Although His Majesty said that he borrowed my soldiers and horses, this is not a long-term solution, and after I go back, I will definitely be more auspicious."

Historically, Li Shimin did lend troops to Murong Shun to seize the throne, but after the Tang Dynasty's troops withdrew, Murong Shun was killed by disobedient generals within a few months, so what Murong Shun really needed was his own strength, so that he could really gain a foothold in Tuyuhun.

Li Su was waiting for Murong Shun when he was desperate, and he said: "This king has a way to let the famous king be a khan in Tuyuhun, I don't know if the famous king is willing to listen?" ”

Murong Shun's eyes widened, in addition to Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, he believed that another person who could help him was this powerful Sixth Prince, he said, "Your Highness, please speak!" ”

"The soldiers and horses lent to the famous king by his father are enough to seize the throne, but stabilizing the throne is what the famous king is really worried about, right?"

"Exactly!" Li Su was stunned, and Murong Shun said.

Li Suxiao continued: "And to stabilize the throne, you need a team of men and horses loyal to the famous king, but no soldiers are willing to follow anywhere without money and food, my father and the emperor borrow your soldiers and horses to seize the throne, and this king is willing to borrow your money and grain to stabilize the country." ”

Murong Shun was overjoyed at first, but the expression of joy on his face quickly disappeared, because he understood that Li Su would not sponsor him so generously to seize the throne, and there must be some kind of purpose behind this support, he said: "Your Highness, Murong Shun is already a prisoner of the ranks, Your Highness might as well say something directly." ”

"Good! Joyfully! Li Su said bluntly, "What you want is the throne, what this king wants is a slave and a maid, and the slave and maid change the throne, what does King Murong Ming think of this deal?" ”

"Your Highness needs slaves?" Murong Shun wondered.

"That's right, the king's fiefdom is getting bigger and bigger, and the land that needs to be cultivated is also increasing, so a lot of slaves and maids are needed, and King Murong Ming and King Zun will definitely defeat the tribes that support King Zun, and according to your rules, these defeated tribes will become slaves of the victors, and this king needs these, of course, the Tang slaves you plundered from the Tang Dynasty are given priority to this king, because this king does not want to see them suffer in Tuyuhun." Li Su looked into Murong Shun's eyes and said.

Murong Shun is not a fool, these years the war depends on people, Tuyuhun's population is getting smaller and smaller is definitely not a good thing for Tuyuhun, even if those are reduced to slaves, it is in the land of Tuyuhun, which is different from in the Tang Dynasty.

Murong Shun hesitated, was silent and did not speak, Li Su sneered, and said: "King Murong Ming, don't think too long-term, if you don't have a throne, you are nothing, people sometimes still have to look at the present, who can say the things in the future?" ”

Li Su's words were like pouring cold water on Murong Shun's head, he suddenly sobered up, as Li Su said, without the throne, his life can't be saved, can he still control those Tuyuhun tribes?

"It's just, how much does Your Highness want? Your Highness must give me a number. Murong said.

"I said, I want all the Tang slaves and captive tribal slaves in Tuyuhun." Li Su said.

Murong Shun said again: "How much food can His Highness give me?" ”

"A lot, you'll understand in two days." It will take a few more days for artificial gemstones, and Li Su can only delay it a little longer, "So you have unified this deal?" ”

"Do I have a choice?" Murong Shun smiled bitterly, and he continued: "It's just that Your Highness is not afraid that I will lie about the number of slaves and maids?" ”

Li Yu laughed twice, "Then the king can only take the Yizhou army to the royal court of Tuyuhun in person." ”

As soon as these words came out, Murong Shun's face suddenly turned pale, and a sense of powerlessness spread in his heart, no matter what, Tuyuhun could only become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.

"But as long as you are willing to be obedient, this king promises you that if Tugu is in trouble, this king can send troops to help." Li Su stuffed another sweet date for Murong Shun.

His face softened slightly, and Murong Shun arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

After the matter was negotiated, Li Su stood up and walked out, shaking his hand, "Another day, this king will come to visit the famous king again." ”

Leaving the hotel, Rong Da said, "Why does Your Highness still spend money to sell slaves and maids? Simply break through Tugu Hun and capture its people. ”

Li Su smiled lightly: "Tuyuhun is between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, it is a natural war barrier, if you really want to destroy Tuyuhun, Tubo's army will occupy all its territory, and then it will threaten the trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and Persia, and will continue to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, it is really to drive away the wolf and attract the tiger, it is too cost-effective, it is better to support a puppet prince to guard that land for the Tang Dynasty." ”

Rongda still didn't understand, and said, "Then we can just destroy Tubo again." ”

"The place where the Tubo people live is very high, and if they can't fight, they can retreat to the plateau, but our soldiers can't adapt to the climate of the plateau, and a long-term battle with the Tubo army in that place will cause great casualties, and that place is very vast, and it is a bitter cold place, even if it is defeated, how to occupy it, how to control it? Besides, there are Tuyuhun fighting for us, so why should we play in person. "The wars between the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetans all suffered in the plateau climate, because they were basically passive defenses, and they could not attack the plateau at all, because after going to the plateau, without the Tubo people attacking, altitude sickness could make many soldiers lie down.

Li Su's current policy towards Tubo is that if you come down from the plateau to find trouble, I will beat you back, but he doesn't want to spend so much effort to attack Tubo, no matter how advanced this weapon is, it can't withstand the impact of the plateau climate on the soldiers, and the land of Tubo is of little use to Li Su, and it is not cost-effective to win, and even if there are many autonomous regions in modern times, why are they autonomous? Because it is difficult to govern, it is not a simple matter for one people to rule another people, which is why the invaders in history have done almost the same thing, using the natives to rule the natives, because this way gets the most benefits and pays the least risk.

However, Li Su's refusal to attack does not mean that he will be bullied by Tubo, which is why Li Su promised Murong Shun that he would help him when he was in trouble, because no one except Tubo would use troops against Tuyuhun, and at that time, he was still not afraid of Tubo when he fought with Tubo at a low altitude.

Rongda still looked confused, and he couldn't figure out what the plateau climate was, but he believed that what Li Su said was right, because at least Yizhou is now thriving according to Li Su's plan, and it looks like a prosperous scene. (To be continued......)
