If you can purchase wool in large quantities, wouldn't Tuyuhun be able to make money from border trade?
And if Tuyuhun can make money...
"this……"
Li Ji's face was full of thinking, his brows were furrowed, and his brain was working rapidly.
And then Old Demon Yuchi said blankly,
"Then...even if the leader of Tuyuhun wants to harm the Tang Dynasty, the leaders of the various tribes below and the Xianbei people at the bottom will probably not agree!"
If it is beneficial, people will be honest.
This has been a truth since ancient times.
Once they figured out this joint, Yu Shinan and others suddenly showed signs of joy.
What a wonderful idea!
There is one more key point...
"Everyone, there is one more thing!"
Yuchi Laomo reacted quickly this time. After speaking, he said to everyone, "These Tuyuhun people are not barbarians and love to cause trouble. Don't they obey no one? In fact, they are not convinced by the Tang Dynasty, and they may not be convinced by their Xianbei king."
Be convinced!"
"If there's no trouble, if we trade with them, they can capture the Tuyuhun royal family directly and send them to me! Hahahahahaha!"
After Yuchi said this, he laughed like an "Old Devil", and everyone looked surprised.
Mainly because other people followed Yuchi Laomo's train of thought...
Sure enough, it is indeed very possible!
After all, the Xianbei people are not saints. They are always seeking profit. If Datang can provide them with additional benefits, then...
At this time, Rong Di did not remember the kindness, but only cared about his own character...
Maybe that’s a good thing!
Moreover, Yuchi Laomo's idea is really feasible. In any case, in the grassland, dynasties change every three days, and the king's flag changes on the top of the city. The problem of Hu people not being good at keeping their promises does not arise out of thin air. It has a background.
.
And if you think about it this way...
Follow Li Sheng's strategy.
Not only can Tuyuhun be determined, but it is also very stable! Even if... the Xianbei people who do not expect to benefit from the favor of the Tang Dynasty will directly overthrow their own king and submit to the Tang Dynasty.
After all, Hu people's lives are too random and they don't remember any kindness, but when it comes to immediate interests, they can not only remember it, but they also have a very good memory!
...and letting Hu people make money is different from giving money away.
Although they are all benefiting them, but giving money? This is a fussy behavior in the culture of the Hu people, and will be regarded as weak. Unlike the Han people who know very well that pie in the sky is something that really needs to be grateful. After all,
Most of the pies are filled with fishing hooks, and the Han people have seen many pies with and without hooks, and have long summarized the statistical rules...
All in all, it's perfect.
Such an insidious, vicious and upright strategy, Yu Shinan and others probably would not be able to think of it even if their brains had grown five pounds.
Looking at it this way, Li Sheng's idea is really amazing and terrifying.
After finally understanding the meaning of these things, everyone looked at Li Sheng, and their eyes changed.
If I was thinking that Li Sheng was a real person before and was obviously showing off, then now...
When Yu Shinan, Duan Zhixuan and others looked at Li Sheng, they really only had forty-five degrees left to worship the boss.
This idea is simply... simply amazing!
But in this way, the idea of how to deal with the matter is finally clear.
Yu Shinan, Duan Zhixuan, Yin Qiao, Li Ji, Yuchi Laomo... everyone looked at each other and smiled.
It's a little funny in my heart, hehe...
The royal family of Tuyuhun thought they were invincible because they had a group of extremely brave soldiers who cared about nothing but profit?
Sorry... I, the Tang Dynasty, have plenty of ways to take care of you!
If it were in the past, then maybe the Tang Dynasty could only forbid the army to defend the territory, and then send envoys to make false promises to the other party. But now that the Tang Dynasty... hey, there are big bosses like Shenghou born, then...
...I'm sorry...
…
Everyone's plan has been decided and their hearts are at great peace.
The army is assembled, ready to march to the west on the white plateau at any time!
Three hundred thousand imperial troops gathered and marched out, what a spectacular scene.
Although the people of Lingzhou had seen each other for more than two months before,... because Lingzhou was attacked some time ago and the people suffered heavy losses, the forbidden army set out again this time, and the people came to see him off.
This is also a strange emotion. On the one hand, the people are very worried about what will happen if the Forbidden Army continues to march westward and reaches a certain place. Lingzhou has finally become rich in the past few years. Will it be taken care of by Tuyuhun again?
This has happened before...
But thinking about the Forbidden Army's special trip to save the people, the people were moved. In two months, the people were exposed to more than just the strict and powerful Forbidden Army as a whole.
There are also soldiers from the Forbidden Army who interacted with the common people during the two months because of the garrison.
However, not all of the people who saw them off were uneasy and nostalgic. There were also many people who smiled happily when they looked at the majestic aura of the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty...
It can even be described in three words: smiling.
Yes, these are the merchants from Lingzhou.
If the people of Lingzhou and nearby prefectures and counties look at the Imperial Guards, their feelings are like bidding farewell to their brothers at home.
Then when the merchants looked at the reflection of the armor of the Forbidden Army, the smiles on their faces seemed to be seeing their long-lost biological father.
Yes, the arrival of the imperial army from the west is the happiest thing for the merchants.
The reason is very simple... First of all, the trade routes in the Western Regions were reopened only with the presence of the Forbidden Army——
Although the Han Dynasty had sent envoys to the west, they even arrived in Rome and exchanged greetings.
But with the fall of the Han Dynasty, China has been at war for hundreds of years...
Not to mention the prosperity of the Han family, it is a blessing that all the Han family members are not dead.
In such a process, the Silk Road, which used to be extremely prosperous in the past, will naturally be cut off, and the Western Regions...
Gradually, of course, it became a forbidden area for merchants, because until the founding of the Tang Dynasty, wars were still frequent in the Western Regions, and merchants in such a place were simply moving monsters and blood packs...
Of course, since it is in the middle of war, merchants from the Central Plains will not come over, but there are still people alive in this place after all, and as long as there are people alive, there will be people who want to do business - but it is impossible.
Of course, with the destruction of the Turks and the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions, commerce sprouted and grew again in the Western Regions, but... because of the existence of Tuyuhun and Tubo, as well as Gaochang, Qiuci, and the Western Turks, merchants
The journey is still full of risks.
And now...
The arrival of the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty was not only about to clear out all the enemy countries in the Western Regions, but also, crucially, during this period, the Tang Dynasty also announced that it would trade with Tuyuhun... This made the merchants very excited, because the legendary
