Chapter 669 Du Gou’s Envoy to Western Turks

"Negotiate a peace, we must negotiate a peace. If we don't negotiate a peace, 3 people from the Tang Dynasty can attack our royal court at once. At that time, our Great Turks will have no place to stay. Thinking about the end of the East Turkic Jieli, Ben Khan shudders."

Leading an army of [-] to return to the royal court of the Western Turks, Mo Heduo summoned his subordinate Wenwu to discuss.

The old military adviser under him said: "Khan, Datang didn't chase Gaochang out, which means that their troops are not strong enough to attack, and we still have a bargaining chip."

"No, we can't gamble. You saw Li Yuanba, the king of Chu, chasing you and me. He is a murderer. Who can guarantee that he won't become angry?" It's good to run fast.

"This, but the war reparations they demanded, too much, we can't afford it!"

"Please invite the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty to talk. We will send them the 36 countries in the Western Regions. I believe there is a precedent for the acquisition of Gaochang last time. It is still easy for us to use the land for money and food."

The news spread to Gaochang Wangcheng, and Li Daozong and others also interrogated the old man of the Western Turks, and then sent [-] troops with the special envoy Du Gou to the Western Turkic royal court to discuss the issue of war reparations.

"Special envoy, welcome the special envoy to our Great Turkic Royal Court. I wonder if His Highness the King of Chu is safe?" Mo Heduo was very sincere when he went out to greet him for ten miles in person.

Holding the scepter in his hand, Du Gou nodded and said: "My brother Yuanba is in good health, but he is not emotional. This time, he wanted to come with me to greet Da Khan, but we persuaded him, so he is still angry in Gaochang Wangcheng. drinking."

amount……

Mo He was sweating, hello?Greetings from Li Yuanba, king of Chu in the Tang Dynasty?very scary.

Hearing that this was actually the younger brother of the King of Chu, Mo Hedu became even more respectful, "Special envoy, thank you for your hard work, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for the special envoy, and hope that the special envoy can be beautiful in front of His Royal Highness Chu King." With a few words, it is said that Mo Hedu has already realized his mistake."

Du Gou looked at the Western Turkic Khan who had repeatedly retreated in front of him, and nodded secretly in his heart. The coercion of the Tang Dynasty may be just a kind of glory in the hearts of the people, and there is no real concept.

Only envoys who are on missions can deeply understand what it means to be a great country and overwhelm the world.

Western Turkic is the most powerful country in today's world besides the Tang Dynasty, a powerful country that is not inferior in military strength and manpower, but now it bows its head to a small envoy of its own, which is the power of thunder.

In the Western Turkic Tent, the layout of the negotiation hall of the Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty was imitated. The Western Turkic people also set up a circular negotiating table. Du Gou was amused. Some paintings of tigers do not feel like anti-dogs.

"Special envoy, I don't know what the Tang side needs from our Great Turks before they are willing to retreat? Tell us, and we will be satisfied."

Mo Heduo personally participated in the negotiations, but there was no other way. In the battle of Gaochang Wangcheng, the vitality of the Western Turks was severely injured. Dozens of generals were either killed or captured. There are very few people in Western Turks who can use it.

Du Gou didn't expect these people to be so impatient, but that's okay, the more impatient you are, the easier it is for us to speak up.

He took out a volume of credentials from his arms and handed it over, "This is my Great Tang's condition, it's all written on it, you can figure it out."

The old military adviser took it carefully, and handed it to Mo Hedu to open it and look through it. This...

Mo Hedu felt a chill in his heart, what should we do?

He didn't say anything, and passed the Great Tang Guoshu to his subordinates for a look. The old military adviser frowned, and after a long time he said, "Special envoy, we Western Turks can't meet these conditions of the Great Tang."

"So there's nothing to talk about?

It doesn't matter, there is no righteousness in buying and selling, I will go back right away, and Senior Brother Yuanba will talk to you in detail later. "

Du Gou turned around and was about to leave. He didn't mean to procrastinate at all. This made the Western Turkic monarchs and ministers panic immediately. What is this for?Pull it down if you disagree?How can there be such a negotiation?Why are you mentioning Li Yuanba?Isn't this the threat of Hongguoguo?Where is benevolence and righteousness?I really don't see where your so-called benevolence and righteousness are.

"Special envoy, special envoy wait a minute, there is actually another reason, it's not that I, the Turk, is not sincere." Mo Hedu said, holding Du Gou in his mouth.

But Du Gou didn't buy it, and said with a sneer, "Don't deceive me when I'm young. I, Du Gou, have been the Deputy Minister of Honglu Temple in the Siyi countries all these years. Where have I never been? Who hasn't seen it?
It's just money and food, can't you get it out?According to my teacher, not only do you need to hand over money and food for compensation, but you also need to hand over the murderers who massacred three thousand of my officers and soldiers. It is also the benevolence and righteousness of His Majesty the Tang Emperor. "

"No, no, I'll know that Datang has made concessions to us with these conditions, but we really don't have so much money and food, not to mention money, 100 million yuan is okay, we can squeeze it together and get it out.

There are 100 million sheep, and we can work hard to get them together.

But this grain, 50 shi, we really can’t get it out. You know, we Turks don’t produce grain, and we’ve been relying on the Tang Dynasty’s aid to survive these years. We really can’t get 50 shi of grain. "

The old military commander began his performance with tears in his eyes. If Du Gou was an ordinary young man, I'm afraid he really couldn't bear it, but Du Gou is also a little fox who has been around for many years, how could he not guard against this?
"Hmph, now you remember that I was the Tang Dynasty's aid? How did you forget all about it when you attacked Gaochang County in the Tang Dynasty and killed my officers and soldiers?

We, the state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, did not mean to take advantage of the fire.

This envoy will do the math for you to see if we want so much or not.

If you kill three thousand officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, each of them will be treated as a soldier in the Tang Dynasty, with fifty guan pensions, and 15 guan in silver. It will be distributed in batches every year. If these are counted, each person will start at [-] guan.

Datang used 120 troops to go on an expedition to the Western Regions to recover the land. The military expenses for this expedition were [-] guan per person, a total of [-] million guan.

So for this money alone, we need at least 130 million expenditures, and I will ask you for 100 million, what?much? "

The Western Turkic rulers and ministers couldn't help but gasp, what the hell is this?Is Datang so rich?This is so rich!Fifty guan pensions for soldiers?My big Turkic is only two pennies, and I don’t send it in time when something happens, child support?Support for the elderly?Where have you heard it?With such good benefits, wouldn't it be safe to be a soldier?
Is the salary of a soldier twenty guan for a trip?God!How many sheep's wool is this?

Battle damage?Fart battle damage?Mo Hedu is going to scold your mother, what you are holding is Thunderbolt, how could there be battle damage?

The corners of the guard captain behind him twitched. Unexpectedly, the benefits of being a soldier in the Tang Dynasty are so good. Fighting one battle is worth serving as a soldier in West Turkic for two years. Oh boy, such good benefits, if we can go How good is it for Datang to be a soldier?
Du Gou didn't know what they were thinking, he asked for a lot of money, and just waited to see them sit on the ground and pay back the money. As for the price he quoted, hehe, it was five times if not ten times exaggerated. Of course, compared to the benefits of Wude years, It's almost twenty times exaggerated. Datang has made money in the past few years, so the benefits have improved a lot.
