Chapter 276: Brutal Terms

Tossed a whole hour of time, the monument ceremony is completed, there is the Tubo army, so the ceremony is so grand, in addition to this boundary monument, the car behind also pulled sixteen pieces, but also smashed down all along the way, from this day on, this place is officially included in the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence.

Of course, it is not that Datang has begun to rule here, but a simple sphere of influence, if Tuyuhun wants to do anything, they can still do it, and they don't need to discuss everything with Datang, but at least they also learned that if the Tang court opposes, Tuyuhun will have to change their plan, as a vassal state, this is also what you should do, otherwise Datang will not provide you with protection.

"Lord Zeng, what is this?"

Midu Khan was about to enjoy roast mutton, and who knew that Master Zeng took out some other papers, which were written in the two languages.

"This is the cost of our country's garrison on the grassland, and everything is borne by you, and the cost of their return to their hometown to visit their relatives is also borne by you."

Lord Zeng didn't speak loudly, only the two of them could hear it, but Midu Khan's face was already extremely ugly, since your army is on our land, this is a very shameful thing, and now we are still responsible for all your expenses in this land, even the money you go home to visit relatives, isn't this a bit too much?

Although the amount of money is not very much, and two thousand soldiers use more than 100,000 yuan a year, which is not a lot of money for Tuyuhun, but if this money is spread, it will have a huge impact on Tuyuhun's reputation.

Midu Khan's face was extremely ugly, and he only had one thought now, that is, to throw these so-called agreements into the fire, and then point at these Datang people and scold.

But when he saw General Huyan, he knew that it would not work to do this, once he offended the people of the Tang Dynasty, then he could only fall to Tubo, and the Tubo people did not make sense at all, and they might directly occupy the entire grassland, and he did not even have his current position, so in comparison, the people of the Tang Dynasty could be a little milder.

In fact, these are two measures, Li Xiang also wants to annex this place directly like the Tubo people, but it is not allowed at this stage, if we really annex here, then we spend too much money on the grassland, and we may face the attack of the Tuyuhun people every day, after all, we are invaders.

But if you adopt the current way, it is to slowly suck Gu Hun's blood, so that they don't feel pain, that is, the common people say that slow cutting of flesh does not hurt, and in the end, they can enjoy the rights of the victor, and they will not let us fall into the depths.

Midu Khan finally understood, why Lord Zeng didn't take out this agreement just now, and only took out this agreement now, in order to let himself see General Huyan as soon as he looked up, under the threat of Tubo, no matter what kind of request the Tang Dynasty made, Tuyuhun had to do it, unless you want to lose the country.

General Huyan gnawed on the leg of mutton angrily, as if this leg of mutton was also Cheng Chumo, and the two young generals just now really embarrassed him.

As everyone knows, he also helped Datang inadvertently, if he had known, it is estimated that this guy would not have come to eat any mutton.

"General, as the protector of the Tuyuhun Protectorate, he will definitely deal with the general often in the future, and I will pay tribute to the general in the future."

After Lord Zeng solved the matter of Midu Khan, he came to General Huyan's table with his wine glass, which made General Huyan feel a little puzzled, you people in the Tang Dynasty had their nostrils facing the sky just now, how could you come over to toast me?

Although General Huyan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, as the protector of the Tuyuhun Protectorate, he was indeed qualified to come over and have a drink with you, and General Huyan could only raise his wine glass and drink it all.

The grassland and the Tubo country have also begun to drink Datang Tianjiu, who makes this wine too delicious, you must know that the price in this kind of place is at least five times more than that of Chang'an City, who makes the freight here more expensive, so even if Datang has ordered that it is not sold out, there are still people who are willing to sell it, mainly because the profit is too large.

"General, I saw your country's military camp in the border area just now that it is too close to the border, this will not be good for us in the future, and the armies of both sides will not be able to conduct drills, if it causes a border conflict, it will not be beneficial to you and me, why don't we demarcate a neutral zone, and not a single soldier will be stationed at a place ten miles from the border between the two sides, and each will send officials to supervise, I don't know what the general thinks?"

Sure enough, this glass of wine is not so delicious, General Huyan's glass of wine is still in his mouth, and Lord Zeng told his true intentions, this is the two sides want to withdraw their troops in the border area.

On the surface, this agreement is very fair, but the Tang army has not yet come, and the Tubo army has already repaired the barracks near the border, and if they retreat back, it will mean that the money they spent will be spent in vain.

Of course, this is only a drawback on the surface, the real drawback is that if you retreat back ten miles, the Tang army will have more time to prepare, from the Tang army to the border, it is almost a flat river, but if the Tubo army retreats ten miles, they will have to cross the mountains and mountains.

"This thing ......"

"The general can refuse, if the general refuses, it means that there is no communication between you and me, then I will use the wine to say a crazy thing, there is nothing to discuss between us."

Although Zeng is a man of letters, he is also very good at talking, and the border area between the two countries must be full of things, and I have proposed a seemingly fair agreement, if you do not agree, it will be equivalent to you closing the door to dialogue, and no matter what happens in the future, you will not be able to continue to talk to me.

General Huyan is also a man of his word in Tubo, including Songtsan cadres, they all respect him very much, when have they eaten such bird gas, they are about to slap the table, and immediately think of the Tang Dynasty's ballista, that thing is really powerful, if it really falls out today, they will fire two salvos at our military camp, then what else can be left of our military camp?
