Chapter XVI Transactions

By chance, Xue Chongxun was able to contact several high-level leaders in Tuyuhun, which was really beyond his expectations. He had already talked with the Khan King, and now he was opposite the powerful minister Fulu, according to Xue Chongxun's speculation, I am afraid that this middle-aged reckless man is the real ruler of Tuyuhun.

Just like the Tang court at this time, is it useful to talk to Fen Ge Li Shouli about anything? You have to find Princess Taiping.

Xue Chongxun was watched by several Tuyuhun warriors, unable to move, so he looked at the Tuyuhun Daxiang Fulu in front of him. I saw that Na Fulu really had nothing to do with being handsome, his head was already bald, his hair was combed into pigtails, which was even more ugly, and he had an uneven black face full of beard, and a pair of small eyes like rat eyebrows; His figure is also very bloated, with horizontal flesh and a dirty body, I don't know why he is so unparticular as a powerful person. Xue Chongxun said a little narcissistically: Lao Tzu is dressed in tatters now, and I am afraid he is also neater and fresher than you.

Such a man is completely out of class when he puts aside his position of power, Xue Chongxun really doesn't believe that Murong Yan, a beautiful woman sitting next to him with a Persian cat in her hand, will like him, it is definitely a political reason! Otherwise, as the royal family of the Murong family, she has to be born and have good looks, and she has to have good looks, it is really tasteless to choose such a man...... What made Xue Chongxun speechless was that she actually showed that she was so loyal to Fu Lu.

Xue Chongxun thought about their relationship in his heart, but he didn't look at Murong Yan in front of Fu Lu, after all, people are under the roof, and this ugly monster is now holding his life and death.

Fu Lu asked in extremely unfluent Chinese: "You are a county king, why can you still be held by dozens of our horsemen when you go outside Dahua City?" ”

Xue Chongxun said cautiously: "Originally, I went to the government for help, but I didn't expect to meet the enemy by chance...... It is clear that my enemies are not all from the outside. I had already fled, but the little princess (Dong'er) had saved me, and I didn't want to bother her, so I had to take the risk of taking her away, so I alarmed the government and urgently needed a fast horse, so I fell into your hands. Xue Chongxun deliberately said that he was affectionate and righteous, mainly hoping that Murong Yan would help her sister for her sister's sake.

Fu Lu nodded bald and said, "I see, if it weren't for Madame's carefulness, I really wouldn't have expected to catch the big fish, haha......" After that, he turned his head and looked at Murong Yan with satisfaction.

Murong Yan gently stroked the smooth fur of the black cat in her arms, and said lazily: "This person killed the Tubo nobleman Lang clan, and the Tubo people did not hesitate to use tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in order to capture him. This time he fell into our hands, and it is a credit to hand him over to the Tibetans. ”

Fu Lu was very happy when he heard this, and looked at Xue Chongxun's eyes as if he was looking at a big fish, and like looking at a pile of gold.

And Xue Chongxun was speechless when he heard Murong Yan speak like this, and couldn't help but look at her angrily, only to see Murong Yan blink his eyes slightly, as if he was handing over his eyes.

Seeing this, he pondered: If Fu Lu heard his wife intercede for outsiders, I am afraid that he would be unhappy, and she said this to retreat as advance?

Sure enough, at this time, Murong Yan said in a very casual tone: "But the Tubo people have always been stingy, but I don't know what kind of cold reward they can give their husbands this time." ”

Sure enough, Fu Lu was excited, and he was also very dissatisfied: "The Tubo people are indeed excessive, they ask us for money every year, and we have to go to the army, and if they have the benefit, they eat meat and we drink soup, alas! ”

At this time, Xue Chongxun said very cooperatively: "If the prime minister lets me go, the benefits will definitely be more than ten times more than that of Tubo." ”

Fu Lu shook his head and said, "No, this is not a business. ”

Murong Yan said: "We can't look down on a little money." But...... In this war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, who does the husband think will win and who will lose? ”

Fu Lu's face suddenly sank, he glanced at Xue Chongxun, groaned, and said after a long time: "The Tang people can't hit the hinterland of Tubo, the road over there is too difficult. ”

Murong Yan said: "In the end, they fought in Qinghai, they are two wolves, and we are sheep." In case the Tubo people are unfavorable in the battle and flee back to Luocheng by themselves, what will we do in Qinghai? ”

Fu Lu showed a helpless expression: "In the past, we thought of Taizong Khan (Tang Taizong) as the Heavenly Khan, but the Tang Dynasty was defeated in several wars, and we had no choice but to take refuge in Tibet." If the situation is reversed......"

Xue Chongxun understood that this product was a wall grass, which side was stronger than the other. At this time, Murong Yan sighed and said, "The Tuyuhun tribe that was attached to the Tang realm before is still in Liangzhou, will the Tang people let them ride on our heads?" ”

After a pause, Murong Yan grabbed Fu Lu's arm and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Husband, he saved his sister, so let him go." ”

Fu Lu frowned and said, "This will offend the Tubo people!" ”

After Murong Yan finished lying coquettishly, she became sad again, touched her eyes and said: "Poor Dong'er, I lived a frightened life at such a young age, and now I don't recognize me when I come back, I am just this one sister...... I don't care! You can't let Dong'er be wronged! ”

Seeing a big beauty spoiling pig-like goods, Xue Chongxun couldn't stand it anymore, people are so helpless, even if they are nobles.

"Good...... Good! Fu Lu couldn't stand his wife's methods, and agreed embarrassedly, "But you can't let him go like this, you have to let the Tang people redeem him with money." ”

Murong Yan said coquettishly: "You know money!" ”

Fu Lu puffed up his chest and said, "Woman's opinion! I'm not greedy for that money, but I have an excuse! If this matter is leaked and the Tubo people inquire about it, I can say that they are greedy for money, and the Tubo people will not worry about our rebellion, understand? ”

Xue Chongxun was overjoyed, and said busily: "The great minister is wise." I will definitely remember this friendship, the mountains do not turn, maybe we will have to deal with each other one day. ”

Fu Lu couldn't wait to stretch out two fingers: "Two hundred thousand!" You are the son of Princess Taiping, wouldn't it be humiliating to ask for too low a price? ”

Xue Chongxun said in his heart: He hasn't gotten out of trouble yet, and the more refreshing he is, the more he has more to do. If you think about it, you will be embarrassed: "Prime minister, 200,000 guan is equivalent to the taxes of several states in our Datang, and I am afraid that the court will not agree to spend it on me alone." ”

Fu Lu glared and said, "You are the son of Princess Taiping!" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Mother has four sons......"

Voro: "......"

Xue Chongxun said in his heart, isn't it just 200,000 yuan, Lao Tzu can barely make up for it by smashing the pot and selling iron. For the sake of life, what is there to feel sorry for the things outside the body? But he said with a price: "100,000 guan is also a large amount." ”

Fu Lu thought for a while and said, "No! You deceived me and didn't know that Chang'an was so rich? It's definitely not difficult to get some of the people in your family together...... 150,000 guan has to be exchanged for gold, and the merchants of the Western Regions only recognize gold! If you don't agree, we'll break up! ”

"Deal!" Xue Chongxun immediately said, "I will write a handwritten letter and bring a token, and you will send the envoys to contact the imperial court and talk with them secretly, and this matter will definitely be successful." ”

Fu Lu laughed when he heard this: "The people of the Tang Dynasty are also quite cunning, if I am good, I will lose 50,000 guan ......" After saying that, he stood up and patted Xue Chongxun on the shoulder, "There is no eternal enemy in the world. ”

"It's a big deal, and it's even a good saying." Xue Chongxun said with a smile, and at this time he swept over Murong Yan behind him with a casual look, only to see Murong Yan's left eye blink slightly, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After Xue Chongxun left Fu Lu's tent, he immediately asked for paper and ink, wrote a letter, and searched for more reliable tokens on his body. There are three items that are useful, a golden hairpin, a piece of jade, and a purse. The golden hairpin and purse were sent by Jincheng, and Xue Chongxun always took them with him, but these two things were too heavy, after all, they had risen to the level of relationship between countries. After a little weighing, he chose the piece of peiyu.

The east and west were sent to Chang'an by the Tuguhun envoys. The diplomacy of the Tang Dynasty was very tolerant, and even the belligerents had envoy residences in Chang'an, which was equivalent to the embassies of later generations, and they lived in Chang'an for a long time. Some countries send princes to live in Chang'an, which is equivalent to a proton, but they don't have anything to worry about, because the Tang court never embarrassed those people because of war, and there was a Turkic prince who lived in the Tang Dynasty for decades, during which the war between the Tang army and the Turks never stopped.

Princess Taiping was very surprised when she learned about it, and the enemy country only needed money...... The Tang Dynasty lacks everything, but it is not short of money. Although after Emperor Taizong, the military and government of the Tang Dynasty were going downhill, often losing foreign wars, and various disadvantages of internal land annexation, but the social economy has been developing rapidly, if the GDP can be calculated, it is estimated that the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty is an exponential increase, and land annexation is actually a product of economic development. Taiping waved his hand, and 150,000 yuan was worth a hair.

She issued a secret decree to Prime Minister Zhang, who was still in Longyou, saying that she was fully responsible for this matter and must get Xue Chongxun back. He also passed a series of procedures of the Guò Outer Dynasty, authorizing Zhang Shuo to temporarily control the mobilization of more than 30,000 troops in Longyou Prefecture, and the apparent reason was to deal with the attacks of the Tuyuhun people.

Zhang said that he did not dare to slack off, and regarded this matter as more important than the war with Tubo, so he quickly mobilized 12,000 mobile soldiers and horses from several states near Langzhou and drove into Langzhou.

At this time, the Tuyuhun people were plundering in Langzhou, and Dahua, Michuan, Huangsha and other places all fell, and the Langzhou state capital was waiting for help with its fortifications and terrain. The governor really didn't expect the reinforcements to come so quickly, and more than 10,000 cavalry came to help quickly.

10,000 against 100,000, the helpless Tang Army often faced such a thing. Zhang Shuo led more than 10,000 iron horsemen and 100,000 Tuyuhun people to confront south of Langzhou. However, they did not go to war, and were ready to finish the matter of "paying with one hand and delivering with the other" first...... M
