Looking at the news sent by the comer, Prime Minister Midu and Tuyuhun Khan didn't know what to say, just now the two had reached an agreement, ready to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and it would be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in the future, but the general on the front line sent back the news, saying that the Tubo army had begun to retreat.

"It's just too timely, we almost sold the whole Tuyuhun, if we sign the agreement like this, Ben Khan will be the sinner of the whole Tuyuhun."

Looking at the face of the happy Khan Midu Prime Minister in front of him, he didn't feel very happy, he felt that all this was too coincidental, just after discussing these things with Li Xiang, the Tubo army retreated, and said that it was a normal patrol?

How is this possible? In the past half a month or so, the Tibetan army has been making trouble on the border, and there have been several armed clashes alone, and more than 200 people have died on our side.

"Any questions?"

Khan saw Prime Minister Midu's solemn face, could it be that there was something he didn't expect here? Prime Minister Midu is the brain of the entire Tuyuhun.

"Didn't the Great Khan think this matter was too strange? We are about to be cornered, this Tang Emperor and grandson arrived here, and then the army of Tubo began to retreat, I always feel that there is a huge conspiracy here, but whether it is the conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty Emperor or the conspiracy of Tubo, Weichen can't figure it out for the time being. ”

Tuyuhun's khan is not a fool, hearing Prime Minister Midu say this, he also felt some doubts in this, everything came by too coincidence, although they couldn't figure out the joints in this, but one thing is certain, that is, they Tuyuhun has lost their autonomy, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or Tubo, they all regard them as lambs to be slaughtered.

"Don't think about these useless things yet, now quickly send this Li Xiang away, since we have no threat from the southern border, what are we doing with him? As for this agreement to pay tribute, I think it is even more unnecessary. ”

Tuyuhun Khan's face was filled with joy, no matter what kind of conspiracy there is, as long as he is not allowed to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, it is a very good thing in his opinion, now that the Tubo army has retreated and their crisis has been resolved, why should they pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty?

"Khan and slow."

Prime Minister Midu hurriedly stopped this guy, the things between countries are not what we want, we have to think about it all clearly, in case there is any mistake in the middle, we people will not have a good time.

"Did the Khan ever think that this army was only a temporary retreat, and what if Li Xiang returned to Chang'an, what would happen if they came back? It's a long way from here to Chang'an, and we can't catch up with him. ”

After listening to the words of Prime Minister Midu, the joy on the Khan's face immediately disappeared, Tubo has thoughts about them, this is no secret for a long time, since the end of the last war, the merchants from Tubo have spoken a lot louder, not to mention the official hundreds of thousands of troops, can it be said that they can go?

"Do you think this is a conspiracy of the Tibetans?"

Tuyuhun Khan said with a solemn face, if this is really the case, they gave up this cooperation with Li Xiang, and what they may give up is Tuyuhun's vitality, and it is impossible for them to stop the 150,000 army of Tubo with their own strength.

"I only know the news that we probed before, the Tubo people have prepared food and grass for nearly four months, and if it is just a patrol, do they need to use 150,000 troops? Moreover, they themselves are very scarce in materials, far less abundant than Datang, how can they prepare four months of grain and grass? These four months of grain and grass accounted for almost half of the expenses of their treasury, for a so-called patrol? ”

This news is simple, but the information found before is very detailed, when the Tubo State has never made such a big move, it is because of the lack of materials in their country, and now if they go back like this, will anyone bear their losses?

"You're right, but now that they're really leaving, if we want to send someone to investigate, it will take at least a few days, should we stabilize this emperor first?"

Prime Minister Tuyuhun said a strategy to remain undefeated.

If the Tibetans really retreat, then just find an excuse to prevaricate, and we don't want to be your sons, but if the Tibetans fake retreat, then we will sign this agreement.

After Midu heard this, he didn't know how to say his khan, do you think Li Xiang is a fool? Even if you are a fool, you can't hold it in your hands, behind this fool stands the entire Tang Empire.

"Let's think about it from another angle, we have become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, there is no harm to us at this stage, it is only 250,000 yuan per year, and other cattle, sheep and livestock are equivalent to 150,000 yuan, 400,000 yuan per year, which can keep us safe, but if we let go of this opportunity and go to him next time, according to his usual lion mouth-opening character, the Tubo people are imminent, and it is possible to ask us for 2 million yuan a year."

Mi Ducheng knows Li Xiang very well, this guy is not an ordinary person, the first time he opened his mouth was a price, the second time he doubled his mouth, he took care of you, and the third time he opened his mouth, you don't have to think about it......

"But now that the Tibetan army has really retreated, we don't need to become their vassals."

Tuyuhun Khan said very anxiously, he felt that Prime Minister Midu was already a little stupid, why did he want to give so much money to Datang?

"Don't worry, let's make a brief analysis, if we don't become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, then we are under the threat of the Tubo people at any time, even if they patrol normally this time, will they patrol next time? We can't make mistakes, one mistake may lead to the destruction of the country, but if we become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it is only 400,000 yuan a year, we can take it, and for us, this is also the best choice for us. ”

Prime Minister Midu weighed the pros and cons, and finally felt that this method was extremely effective, at least it could make Tuyuhun exist, so that he would not be in a state of imminent death at all times.

"It's ridiculous, Ben Khan won't approve it in such a state, you go and send him away."

Tuyuhun Khan said with a cold face, he had already made a decision......
