"My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think?" Li Daozong looked at Yu Liwan and said.

"I have no opinion, thank you Tian Khan for your support to me, as long as I can eliminate Yibi Lu, it is reasonable that these places will be handed over to the Tang Dynasty to govern." He didn't even think about it, so he spoke directly.

Although the vicinity of Yili is good, with plenty of pasture and enough land to feed the herders, it is actually not much compared to the land west of the West Kunlun Mountains.

The important thing is that the Datang army has arrived, if the other party can't get a suitable position, can they back down? It's hard, I'm afraid.

So he decisively admitted it.

"But there is another problem, that is, the attitude of Ashina Shilu is also very important, the other party has an elite cavalry in his hand, if he is to connect with Yibi Lu at present......"

"No, the other party has a good relationship with my Datang, the point is that a lot of the armor in their hands was sold to him by Datang, if he still wants more armor, he won't fight against my Datang, so you can rest assured." Li Daozong interrupted him and spoke directly.

"In this case, then I have no problem, but this year is about to enter winter, and I'm afraid I will have to fight again next year." Ori sighed.

Li Daozong smiled, to be honest, although the logistics supply of the Tang Dynasty is better than that of the Turks, it is not so good that it is not so good, in winter, there is generally a lot of snowfall in various parts of the Western Regions, but the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains is not so thick compared to many areas north of the Tianshan Mountains.

Therefore, some logistics materials can still keep up, and the point is that the team responsible for logistics and transportation has delivered a large number of supplies to them, and the point is to provide them with a large number of easy-to-carry military dry rations this time.

Air-dried meat.

It is composed of air-dried beef and air-dried mutton, and there is also a new special flint and steel, which is more convenient than the fire sickle used by Datang, and only needs to be gently scraped a few times to ignite a fire directly on some dry weeds.

In the wild, Datang's ordinary fire sickle is extremely difficult to use, and whether it is a winter or summer march, the flame is very important.

In addition to this, just in case, they also carried some special magnifying glasses, which they used to cast the "Golden Sui" and then borrow fire from the sun.

Jin Sui is Yang Sui, which is the method of burning paper with a magnifying glass in later generations, which is recorded in the "Zhou Li" nearly 2,000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty.

However, this one is for emergency use.

And the reason why His Highness provided them with these was naturally not for their daily use, but so that they could directly kill the Turks through the winter.

Due to the harsh winter conditions in the Western Regions, it is obvious that the gathering place of the Epidulu in winter is obvious, and the Turks have long been accustomed to spending the winter in some places, and these locations are fixed.

Because of the harsh winter environment, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. could only feed on dry grass, and the surviving tribes of the Western Turks could only live in a limited number of places.

Although the land area is vast, there are not many places that can support a large population.

In order to prevent a large number of casualties on the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen below, the number of troops gathered in the winter will be much smaller than in other seasons.

"No, we'll fix it this winter." Li Daozong said with a calm face.

"Huh? In winter, casualties can be much greater than in other seasons. Ori frowned.

"In the same way, if we fight in winter, the location of the royal court in Epiru will be easier for us to discover, and it will be easier for us to take it down, as long as we take it by surprise." Li Daozong said.

In fact, if the winter offensive only needs enough cotton clothing, food, and fire, the other problems are not big. For example, water sources, the grasslands after snowfall mean that water sources are everywhere, and they don't have to look for a specific water source to gather and rest.

"If Datang can help us provide enough military rations, I'll have no problem." After thinking about it, he simply agreed.

"These can be offered, but again, none of these are free. After you take your land, you must allow my Tang caravans to enter your territory for trade and not collect taxes, and we can sell you some of the grain in exchange for wool. ”

"For the sake of trade, we will establish several border trade ports in several important places to trade with you." Li Daozong said.

"Yes, I agreed." The Turks didn't want to do anything, so almost all the items in Datang were what they needed, whether it was tea, clothes and other items.

Allowing the Datang caravan to trade is nothing, so it is very simple to agree.

"Then it's a deal." Li Daozong also simply agreed, if they acted quickly, it would take less than a month to complete the combat mission, and then the army of the Tang Dynasty could retreat to the four key western passes.

And the main garrison positions of Datang in the future will also be based on these places.

As for the places that are enveloped by the Kunlun Mountains, there is no need for Li Daozong to worry about it, and the imperial court will naturally send officials to strengthen its rule over the population of these places.

As for the loss of the profits, according to the words of His Highness, the talents of the losses are not as good as those of the Ebilu, and the loyalty of these tribes under his name may not be very high, and after the appearance of the loss or death, the tribes under his name will inevitably be in chaos.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had sufficient reasons and excuses to enter, and when the time came, it was just a matter of taking advantage of the situation.

Don't be in a hurry now, that land will be thrown to the Western Turks first, and it is most appropriate for the Tang Dynasty to digest and absorb its own internal affairs first.

So this time the Tang Dynasty is still very sincere about the loss of the profits, how to say it, the reason why the loss of the loss of the loss of the reason why the loss of Li believes in Li Daozong so much is also because of this reason, because the elite cavalry currently stationed here is only 20,000, but the elite army of the Tang Dynasty has reached 40,000.

If Datang wants to be unfavorable to him, he can completely eliminate him, and there is no problem in destroying Yibi Lu.

But Datang didn't do this, which shows that he, a subordinate Datang, really treats him sincerely.

So naturally there is no other idea, just follow Datang with peace of mind, since Datang said that you can fight in winter, then fight in winter!

Of course, there are many things that Li Daozong doesn't know, or Li Daozong doesn't know, such as the reason why he left a part of the Western Turks.

In fact, it is very simple, if you want to completely dominate the herdsmen, you must give them a sufficient comparison, and there is no harm without comparison.

Just like the comparison of the herdsmen's lives in Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in later generations, aside from the propaganda level, it is another battlefield. The simple comparison of life is enough for these herders to have enough gaps.

Otherwise, why did Li Ke open four trade ports at the border.

The Western Turks have a wool value, and the most valuable thing is all kinds of leather, wool, and meat.

Other minerals and the like, it's not that Li Ke underestimates them, they don't need them at all, and they can't use them.
