After an afternoon of tossing, the high-level people on the Turkic steppe are convinced, whether they believe it or not, and no matter what they think in their hearts, this afternoon is to make them understand that compared with the army of the Tang Dynasty, there is no comparison at all, if we live honestly in the future, this guy who eats can still grow on his neck, but if he has any other ideas, the army of the Tang Dynasty will kill people without mercy.

"These guys talked to our generals privately when they went back, and they all more or less expressed their loyalty, and also reported a group of unscrupulous people to us, and guess what, I listed these unscrupulous people, and I found that among all the tribal leaders, only a few people were not reported, and the rest of them had all kinds of problems."

After everyone left, Niu Jinda began to report to Li Xiang on the farce of the afternoon, these tribal leaders showed their loyalty, and they had to expose some of the people around them to show their loyalty.

Some people tell the truth and can find evidence, but some people are purely honest, they are afraid that they will not be able to speak on the side of General Datang, and fabricate some news for no reason, in order to be able to establish a good personal relationship with General Datang, I really don't know what these people think in their heads, for such a relationship, they sell people who are usually brothers and brothers.

"You don't have to believe all these nonsense they say, we won't do anything to them for the time being, you usually convey a thought to them, that is, we are not to blame for the previous things, from this time on, find a case, deal with a case, anyone who dares to spread the idea of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty, or is prepared, directly separate his tribe and divide it to other obedient tribes."

Because of the terrain on the grassland, there is no way to implement the county system, so we can only implement such a tribal system, but the tribal system has the disadvantage of the tribal system, that is, they will often wander in other places, and our ability to control him is not high.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, even if we go on an expedition to Xue Yantuo now, I believe they will not dare to make trouble in our rear, but I don't know how long this situation can last, these people on the grassland, treachery is very simple, they may soon oppose us, for example, we suffered setbacks in the war against Xue Yantuo......"

Niu Jinda knew that it was unlucky to say this before the war, but as a more rational general, we had to think of all the bad things before the war started, so that we could establish various plans, and once we really went to war, we didn't have to worry about the rear overturning.

"What you said is right, so these fifteen thousand cavalry must be settled, before they are settled, we can't attack Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo stretches for thousands of miles in the Mobei region, if we don't make full preparations, we will suffer if we rush over, they have experience in living in the local area, but we don't, and the climate over there is cold, if we do it, we only have two or three months, once it is a cold period, we may all be frozen to death."

Li Xiang still knows very well about the situation in the north of the prairie, and it begins to cool down slowly after September every year, and now it is the best time to attack, if we want to attack, we have to wait for this winter to pass.

"So what are we going to do here and wait?"

Su Dingfang said a little unwillingly, the last time he rescued His Royal Highness King Wu, most of the soldiers they killed were Turkic soldiers, and Xue Yantuo's people ran relatively fast, so they didn't kill many of them.

"Of course it can't be, they are the same as the Turks, they usually eat beef and mutton, so the oil and water in the stomach are too much, we must need some tea, we just need to control the business, whether it is tea or salt, we can't let it go, go and see how they get it when the time comes."

Throughout the history of Li Xiangqi, there are no examples of direct battles, most of them weaken the other party for a long time, and wait until the last time to go over to receive the goods, only Tuyuhun's side is directly fighting.

"Your Highness is right, in previous years, there were many Xue Yantuo Shangnin who came to us to do business, and this year we directly stuck the trade route to him, if they go around the Western Regions, then they have a kind, this distance will increase at least four or five thousand miles in vain, I don't know how much higher the cost will be after going back."

Now the Western Regions have not belonged to the Tang Dynasty, there is still a state of war, businessmen are reluctant to go there, there are many countries that go there, the tax rate between each country is not the same, you pay taxes here to pay taxes over there, often a very cheap thing in the Western Regions to live a circle, this is already priceless.

After Xue Yantuo's trade route was blocked, they could only go to the Western Regions, although they could still transport things back, but the price would increase more than ten times, which was still relatively optimistic, and it was estimated that if it was pessimistic, it might be dozens of times higher.

After listening to Li Xiang's words, the two immediately ordered the people below to block the border and find some passes that are easier to control, we can't block all the borders, we just need to seal these passes, even if the rest of the people take the risk of bringing them over from the mountain, some of the numbers are a drop in the bucket, and they can't save the entire Xue Yantuo, in this winter, they definitely don't have enough tea and salt.

"You send a message to the person in charge of the area of Zhidaobao, asking him to collect a little more tea and salt, and act according to my orders."

After the two went out, Li Xiang gave an order to Monkey San, asking him to convey the order to the business personnel in this area, and after Xue Yantuo experienced the increase in the price of tea and salt, we would have to go over to earn this money, and we couldn't delay making money for the country at the same time.

In the previous conflicts, Li Xiang has already seen that capital is a giant beast no matter what kind of country it is, and it can change the fate of many people, and now he has no way to wrestle with Li Shimin, so he can only use the power of capital, Li Xiang's investment in this period of time is not small, and the liquidity in his hand is not much, so just take this opportunity to find some money from Xue Yantuo's body, once there is a contradiction between the two grandchildren, we can also use the power of capital......
