Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2256 Tuyuhun Surrenders

Tang Jun began to appease the Sands City.

Although they killed a lot of soldiers, they did not count this hatred on the people here, so after they captured the city, they would not massacre the city. What they need to do is to appease these people and make them willing Become the people of Datang,

This kind of thing is familiar to anyone who has fought in war, so it is not difficult to do it.

Of course, the reason why there are no difficulties is not only because they are familiar with these things, but also because the ordinary people in Tuyuhun have very low requirements, as long as they can survive.

If Datang can let them survive, then they don't mind being a citizen of Datang.

The appeasement was going smoothly.

And at this moment, Tuyuhun sent an envoy here.

Hearing the arrival of the envoy from Tuyuhun, Shu King Li Ke didn't show any expression, just nodded and ordered the envoy to be brought in.

"What did your king ask you to do here?"

Tuyuhun's envoys did not show fear, after all, this is the city and mentality that an envoy should have. No matter what happens, he must be neither humble nor overbearing.

"I, King Tuyuhun, deeply feel that it is a very wrong thing to use troops against the Tang Dynasty, so I have come to ask you to plead guilty to your Tang Dynasty. Hungry Tuyuhun is willing to surrender to your Datang, and to be your courtiers from generation to generation. This is our The king's letter of surrender has already compensated Datang for the gifts."

Tuyuhun wants to surrender,

All Tang generals were a little surprised to see this situation. They thought that Tuyuhun was going to fight them to the death, and they never thought that they would surrender so soon.

They are all proud and arrogant people, and when faced with Tuyuhun's surrender, they all dismissed it. In their view, if Tuyuhun did not surrender, then they could directly destroy Tuyuhun. This is an obvious achievement for them. is bigger.

However, they are not qualified to say much about this kind of matter, everything depends on Shu Wang Li Ke.

When Li Ke heard this, he just smiled softly: "Surrender?"

"Yes, I, Tuyuhun, am willing to surrender to you Datang."

Li Ke took the gift list and looked at it. The items on the gift list were very rich. It could be said that it was all the financial income of Tuyuhun for a year. Turati was really willing to spend such a large sum of money.

Thinking in his heart, Li Ke's face was still ugly, and he said: "Your Tuyuhun's attitude is still good, but whether you accept your surrender or not is not up to me, I have to report this matter to my father. Just wait, Tuyuhun, I will order people to send these to the imperial court soon."

"It's time for you, my lord."

After the envoy of Tuyuhun finished speaking, he retreated, and his task was considered completed. At the same time, he rushed to send Tuyuhun's letter of surrender and gift list to Chang'an City.

While sending these to Chang'an City, Li Ke hurriedly sent a letter to his own people with a carrier pigeon.

It's hard to say whether he will be able to succeed in Chang'an City, so he must be prepared.

He has already lost his greatest glory, and he can't take a step closer to obtain the position of prince through normal means. Then he can only take the risk, and if he wants to take the risk, he must achieve something this time.

Getting Tuyuhun to surrender was a very good achievement for him.

Of course, compared with destroying Tuyuhun, this is naturally worse, but is Tuyuhun easy to destroy?

Furthermore, the existence of Tuyuhun is very helpful to him, so he must keep Tuyuhun.

After arranging things in this way, Li Ke, king of Shu, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
-
The weather in Chang'an City was very cold, and people shivered in the cold.

In the early morning of this day, an official stood up and said, "My lord, news came from Tuyuhun that Xilang iron cavalry had attacked Tuyuhun's Fenggui City and looted all the grain and grass in Fenggui City. There was Tuyuhun's granary. The food is enough for them to eat for many years, Your Majesty, you sent troops in Xiliang without the imperial court's dispatch, this is very inconsistent with the rules, please severely punish everyone in Xiliang, so as to make an example to others."

After the official finished explaining the situation, Li Shimin was taken aback. Did Xiliang soldiers attack Tuyuhun's granary?

In this way, the problem of food and grass in Xiliang will no longer be a problem in the future.

He was a little angry, why Xiliang's strength has increased a lot?
However, what made everyone even more angry was that Xiliang had never been ordered to attack Tuyuhun. What does Xiliang mean?
However, although Li Shimin was angry, he did not attack. He was very clear about Xiliang's intention in doing so. Xiliang just wanted to show their imperial court the strength of Xiliang through this matter.

The court knows that Xiliang is not easy to bully, if something happens to their prince, Xiliang will never let it go.

Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin must think clearly.

Is he going to punish Xiliang under Xiliang's pressure?
If this is the case, there will be a battle between Datang and Xiliang. With the current strength of Xiliang, even if they can destroy Xiliang, they will probably pay a heavy price for it.

When the time comes, people will inevitably die. He Tang finally cleaned up the mess he took over from the Sui Dynasty. Will the world become a mess again, right?
These things are very likely to happen,

And if you don't want these things to happen, you just need to let Qin Tian go.

If Qin Tian is released, the court will lose face to some extent, but this is the fastest and easiest way to solve the problem.

The officials in the court were still talking non-stop, they were a little angry and filled with righteous indignation, and many even cursed at Qin Tian.

Li Shimin glanced at them, waved his hands, and said: "Everyone, please be quiet, Xiliang did not follow this matter, but they defeated Tuyuhun, which is a good thing for our Tang Dynasty. It’s a good thing, why should we punish them?”

This sounds very reasonable. There has been no news of Shu King Li Ke's attack on Tuyuhun, but Xiliang has won. This is indeed good news for them. Since it is good news, why should they be punished?
However, even so, everyone still felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. This Xiliang is really going too far.

In the court, there were still a few people who were angry about this matter, and felt that it was against the rules for Xiliang to attack Tuyuhun without order, but they said so, but Li Shimin didn't care at all, saying: "Xiliang won the victory in attacking Tuyuhun, the king of Xiliang Although there were faults before, this merit can offset the previous faults, Yuan Lou, after you go down, release the King of Xiliang."
