Chapter 449: Selling Land
"Things may be a little difficult to do, but the things on the Tuyuhun grassland let them learn, the land here is very suitable for farming, although there is only one season of grain a year, but the advantage is that the area is huge, if you can sell it all, in addition to increasing the income of the imperial court, your purse can also be thicker."
Li Xiang knows that if people do things, they have to give people some benefits, and they can't have no benefits, who has that enthusiasm?
Although Li Xiang didn't say much now, we all know His Highness's personality, and these people who followed His Highness to fight the country are basically very rich, mainly because we have done a good job of the things His Highness has explained, is it possible that His Highness will treat us badly in the future?
"Your Highness, don't blame me for saying these unlucky words, this is also the land of Goguryeo, although they are not even a fart when we fight now, but in the future, if we are unlucky, they are very likely to fight back from the south, and the people who bought the land at that time didn't die at a loss?"
Niu Jinda thought about it and said, victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common thing for soldiers, many places we have occupied a long time ago, but they were taken back by others later, so these places are not worth investing in, you throw all your family property here, in case it is because of an oversight of the army, it will directly bankrupt your family.
Su Dingfang also frowned beside him, although he was only in the stage of land measurement now, but if he really wanted to sell it, he would have to give everyone a peace of mind pill, if there was no such peace of mind pill, it is estimated that not many people would be willing to throw money here.
"Then why do you say that the Tuyuhun grassland can be sold?"
Li Xiang did not answer their question, but asked another question.
"Isn't that because Tuyuhun was defeated by us? And Tuyuhun is now our vassal state, we have so many troops stationed on the grassland, and there are still many people in Tuyuhun Duhun Protectorate, even if Tuyuhun wants to find trouble, we have to give him a chance! ”
Su Dingfang said without thinking about it, when he said this, he glanced at Li Xiang with a little weakness, could it be that our eastern expedition to Goguryeo is also going to achieve such a result?
"You're right, we're also winning now, and in a while we're going to cross the Taedong River, and when the time comes, we'll directly attack the entire peninsula, not just Goguryeo, including Silla and Baekje, let's just solve them all at once and save them from coming back later."
Li Xiang's words made the two generals dumbfounded, let's shout slogans in Chang'an City is also the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, your old man is fine, he is about to beat the rabbit with grass and beat the three countries.
"The relationship between those two countries and us has not yet been determined, and Silla seems to be preparing to pay tribute, isn't it a bit bad for us to kill them like this?"
Su Dingfang said with some worry, our emperor is called the Heavenly Khan, but the people of all countries love you like this, but our army has not implemented this concept, but has attacked other countries everywhere, is this a bit inappropriate?
"Look at how you are still afraid of wolves and tigers when you do something, you yourself just said that they are preparing to pay tribute, not already paying tribute to us......"
Niu Jinda's answer made Li Xiang very satisfied, these places are the masters of the mother who has milk, now we are strong and they are silent, and if we are weak one day, they will be the first to fall into the well, so taking advantage of our strength now, we have to subdue them with one punch.
"That being said, the locals will not resist us fiercely, and even if we occupy this place, it is very likely that it will cause us unnecessary losses."
Su Dingfang said with some hesitation, if the Datang army is stationed here, it may be attacked by the locals every day, which is not a good thing for the Datang army, we may not spend much to occupy here, but if it is attacked every day, the price will be great.
"Look, you see, your brain can't calculate, right? How could we care about this bullshit ourselves, of course, let them eat dogs. ”
Niu Jinda said while eating a roast leg of lamb.
Su Dingfang patted his head, isn't this our Highness's specialty? How can we forget about this? Tuyuhun Hao Yuanshang was their prime minister and fought with the khan, and finally cheapened us.
As for the Tubo Plateau, Zampu and the various Tusi are already headed out of the dog's brain, and the hatred between the two sides can be regarded as settled, and it is impossible to resolve it at all, let alone come to attack us at this time, even if we send a few hundred soldiers, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.
A few people talked about some other issues, but no one took this negotiation seriously, in Li Xiang's view, we have an absolute advantage, why should we negotiate with you people? The weak don't even have a chance to negotiate, you say you want to negotiate and negotiate, so where do you put my face?
After dawn the next day, General Niu Jinda began to reorganize the army, and the tension up and down An City was to the limit.
There are many people in the city who have fled back from the front, and they have brought their fear to the city, according to them, the siege method of the Tang army is completely different from before, in the past, it was to fill it with human lives, but now there is no need at all.
In the past few days, all the people have also seen that the most powerful thing in the Tang army is those ballistas, when they attack a certain section of the city wall, the entire section of the city wall will not last long, when the city wall collapses, the Tang cavalry will swarm in, and their ballistas will also move to the city wall, and where there is resistance to their ballistas in the city, they will be fired wherever they are.
In this case, even if you are not afraid of death, you can't last long, mainly because the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, maybe you have an advantage compared to the Tang soldiers, but this advantage can't be used at all, what's the use?
Looking at the neatly arranged Tang troops outside the city, Li Renxi, the head of the march in the northern region of Goguryeo, ordered someone to open the city gate.
This guy can't say that he is afraid of death, he has to say that for the safety of more than 100,000 people in the city, this is a small place with a little-known name, but because Li Shimin was defeated here, it gradually developed into the largest city north of the Datong River, and surrendered for the safety of the people, how tough it is!
