Chapter 165: Tubo is also not restless
Many people around them felt that Prime Minister Midu was too pessimistic, that was because they couldn't analyze the problem from the overall situation, and the news that Prime Minister Midu knew was also something they couldn't know, and now in addition to the army in Liangzhou City, according to the reliable news they got, Datang sent 20,000 soldiers to support again.
On the other hand, on the side of Tuyuhun, there are not a few tribes that have been destroyed, and even the Ronggong tribe has suffered such a big loss, even if the Khan wants to gather a large army, I am afraid that there are not many people gathered now, we have no second way except humiliation and peace, unless the Khan ignores the life and death of the people of Tuyuhun and desperately assembles the army, then it is gambling on the fortune of the country, once it loses, Tuyuhun will cease to exist.
While the others were refuting Prime Minister Midu, Narut didn't say a word, he was thinking about the current situation, if he continued to fight, he really had no soldiers to send.
Every time the war comes, he mobilizes the Ronggong tribe and the Midu tribe to send troops, and the number of troops sent by these two tribes is equal, but if only the soldiers of the Midu tribe are mobilized now, I believe that the Midu tribe will not send troops, it is equivalent to going to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, once it reaches that level, he must mobilize the soldiers of the Wangting tribe, which is the last power in his hands.
After a whole day of discussion, in the end, there was no reason to come up, and in the evening Nalu held a special banquet to entertain Prime Minister Midu.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and the prime minister of Midu was not very comfortable eating, he knew that the khan had something to say.
"What do you think they would ask for?"
The people in the tent had been evacuated, and no one was here except for the two personal maids, and Narut was not reserved.
"Back to the Great Khan, within two hundred miles outside Liangzhou City, our people will definitely not be allowed to graze, they will also build a new city on the southwest side of Liangzhou City, and let us open the trade route, and the other is to go to Chang'an City to apologize, although the Khan does not need to go, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
Prime Minister Midu estimated that it was already very different, he had been dealing with the Tang army, so he also knew what the Tang army wanted, although these conditions were fatal for Tuyuhun, but after agreeing to these conditions, at least we could save it, if we didn't agree, then we would wait to be displaced, Datang was iron-hearted this time.
"Everything else can be agreed, but the construction of the new city is too great for us Tuyuhun, and in the future, they will take the new city as the center and spread it around, which will pose a great threat to our rule, which is equivalent to a sharp knife inserted into Tuyuhun's chest and abdomen."
Narut was also an excellent ruler, and although he was reluctant to agree to other conditions, those conditions were inevitable in order to keep the state of Tuyuhun, but the construction of a new city was the last thing he could accept.
"Great Khan, the Han people have a saying, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, now this is the scene, the knife is no longer in our hands, if we continue to resist, the conditions we will face in the future will be more harsh, Weichen made an estimate, if the decisive battle is carried out now, our department will at least come up with nearly 200,000 cavalry, even if we win, then we will lose nearly 200,000 young people, is this victory useful?"
Prime Minister Midu said earnestly, there are only 100,000 young people in Tuyuhun all over the country, and if there is a loss of 200,000 men, then there is no hope for the country.
"What's more, Tubo in the south will also take advantage of the fire to rob, according to the news received by Weichen, near the southern border, there have been Tubo reconnaissance troops."
When Prime Minister Midu spoke, he took out a secret report from his hand, and the Midu tribe lived in the south, so he knew more about the situation in the south.
"These damn Tibetans."
Narut gritted his teeth and cursed, what he was most afraid of was this situation, Tuyuhun has always been trying to survive in the cracks, whether it is the Tang Dynasty in the north or Tubo in the south, the comprehensive national strength is much stronger than Tuyuhun, although Tuyuhun provokes the two major powers vigorously, but the two powers have various reasons, and they all need Tuyuhun such a natural barrier.
So their life is okay, but if there is a big country that is determined to destroy him, Tuyuhun really can't resist it, just like the current form, every time he insists on one more day, Tuyuhun will face heavy losses.
"I understand, you go and negotiate and try to fight for Tuyuhun's survival space, and you also have to pick up the two of them."
When Narut said this, Prime Minister Midu was dumbfounded next to him, if he said that he would take back one person, he knew that it was the former prince Zaterk, but now he wants to take back two people, is it true that the legend is true? In the past few days, there has been a rumor in the whole Tuyuhun that the eldest princess was captured by the Tang army.
"Great Khan, is it the eldest princess?"
Prime Minister Midu said in disbelief.
Others don't know about Tuyuhun Khan, but Prime Minister Midu has been with him all his life, so he naturally knows the importance of this pair of children to him, all of them are the children of the original match, and they are also his favorite children.
"It should have been in the hands of the Tang Army, in addition, the two thousand troops were all annihilated on the way to search, and my people have already discovered them and buried them."
Tuyuhun sweated profusely and drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, this was a good wine transported from Chang'an, and the spicy taste of the liquor made him sober up a lot in an instant.
"Then we're going to have to make even bigger concessions."
Prime Minister Midu also accompanied him to have a drink, but the words he said made people not so comfortable, and Tuyuhun Khan also understood that this is not something that can be made up by negotiation skills, and the Tang army has achieved such a big victory, and it is impossible to make them calm down.
"Go and inform our people in Datang, so that they can do something at all costs."
Tuyuhun Khan said desperately, over the years, they have sent a lot of fine work to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, raising troops for a thousand days, if they are not needed at the moment, then what are they doing?
Prime Minister Midu also nodded, at this moment, in order to keep Tuyuhun, all kinds of methods have to be used......
