Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 538: Peace Talks, I’m attracted by their cavalry!
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Qili Eduo and others fell silent.

They knew very well that they heard a hint of threat in Su Chen's words.

If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew that they had seized a large tract of fertile land in northeastern Goryeo when the Tang army conquered Goryeo, he would probably not have talked to them as calmly as Su Chen did.

Most of them would directly deploy troops and march forward in large numbers to give them a taste of their power.

Su Chen looked at Qili Eduo with a smile and said, "Chief, if it were His Majesty, would he discuss with you the large piece of land around Zhacheng?"

Qi Li E Duo: “…”

After a moment of silence, Qili Eduo gave a helpless smile, "Why do you have to scare me, Your Majesty? I don't have any other options, do I?"

"Your Majesty, you have never lived in such a remote place. You don't understand our living environment."

"Now, with such a large piece of fertile land in front of us, any normal person would be tempted."

"Of course."

Su Chen smiled and said, "I naturally understand the leader's difficulties, so I invited the leader to go to Chengshanzi to discuss this matter."

Hear the words.

A hint of doubt flashed across Qili'eduo's face.

Is Su Chen really willing to reach a settlement with them on the land issue in the Zhacheng area?

If that's the case, then it couldn't be better.

After all, the 20,000 elite troops of their Baishan tribe are now in Goryeo.

If Su Chen was really angered and led his army to attack, they would have no choice but to abandon the town and retreat to Changbai Mountain, waiting for the return of the elite troops before making any plans.

However, if something unexpected happened during this period, the 20,000 returning elite soldiers might not necessarily come to retake their homeland, but to help collect their bodies, or even follow in their footsteps.

"What does the prince mean?"

Qili Eduo looked at Su Chen with some anticipation.

If the conditions offered by Su Chen were not too excessive, they might not refuse to accept them.

Su Chen smiled and knocked on the table, "I do have a good suggestion, the leader might as well listen to it."

"Appreciate further details."

"From today on, the Baishan tribe will break away from the Mohe tribe and voluntarily join the Tang Dynasty, becoming the people of our Tang Dynasty."

This……

Qili'eduo fell into deep thought, and Duomuguli and others also frowned.

Separate from Mohe and voluntarily join the Tang Dynasty?
If this is the case, wouldn't we become the enemy of the Mohe?

"If the leader is willing, I will have the confidence to discuss this matter with His Majesty. I even have some confidence to grant the large tracts of fertile land around Zhacheng to the people of Baishan tribe, so that you can leave Changbai Mountain and enjoy a large tract of fertile land and a life of farming!"

Compared with the many troubles that will be faced after leaving the Mohe, the price offered by Su Chen is really tempting!

It can even be said that if they could really obtain the large tracts of fertile land around Zhacheng, what would it matter even if they became enemies with the Mohe?
The Baishan tribe, which has a large amount of fertile land, can quickly expand its strength!
Even though their Baishan tribe is no match for the Mohe tribes, don’t they still have the Tang Dynasty behind them?

"Secondly."

Just as Qili Eduo and the others were pondering the pros and cons, Su Chen spoke again, "I will arrange some people who are good at farming to cooperate with your Baishan tribe to develop production and help you quickly integrate into the Zhacheng area."

"In addition, I will discuss with His Majesty the control of Chengshanzi and other places and hand them over to you for you to handle."

"what?"

Qili'eduo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Not only did he give them the vast tracts of fertile land around Zhacheng, but he was also willing to give them the city of Chengshanzi of the Sumo tribe?

In this way, they not only have a large amount of fertile land, but also large tracts of grassland!

Even the Heishui tribe, the most powerful among the Mohe, did not occupy as much grassland territory as their Baishan tribe!
As if realizing that he had lost his composure, Qili'eduo coughed and turned his gaze to Duomuguli.

Duomuguli said tactfully, "Are you serious, Your Majesty?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "These are just some of my ideas. Before these contents are implemented, I still need to see your sincerity."

Sincerity!

That means the Baishan tribe broke away from the Mohe!
Duomuguli nodded and said, "If we break away from the Mohe, will the prince agree to these things?"

Su Chen: "Why not?"

Duomuguli said in a deep voice: "This is just the prince's one-sided statement. Although the prince's words carry a lot of weight with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the civil and military officials in the court may not agree with this!"

"Secondly."

"Your Highness has entrusted us with so many lands and cities, but he only wants us to break away from the Mohe?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I just can't believe that such a good thing as pie in the sky would happen, and it just happened to hit the head of our Baishan tribe!"

popping.

Su Chen smiled and clapped, "I wonder who this is?"

Qili Eduo: "This is Mr. Duomuguli from our Baishan tribe. He has a lot of insights into Tang culture."

Su Chen nodded in understanding. This person should have studied abroad in the Tang Dynasty.

"You're right."

Su Chen: "While enjoying the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price."

Duomuguli: "I wonder what the price is that the prince is talking about? It can't be that simple to break away from the Mohe, right?"

"nature!"

"Separating from the Mohe is only the first condition."

Su Chen said calmly: "Secondly, I need your Baishan tribe to dispatch 20,000 elite cavalry to accompany me back to the capital."

"Twenty thousand elite cavalry?"

Qili Eduo and others frowned unconsciously.

The main force of their Baishan tribe is only 20,000 elite cavalry. Su Chen asked for 20,000 elite cavalry just by opening his mouth?

Isn't it obvious that they are targeting the elite cavalry of the Baishan Tribe?
Qili Eduo: "Your Highness wants the elite troops of our Baishan tribe?!"

Su Chen said frankly: "Yes, what I want is the elite troops of your Baishan tribe!"

"Why?!"

Qili's evil eyes were scorching.

The 20,000 elite cavalrymen are the foundation of their Baishan tribe. If they hand over these 20,000 elite cavalrymen easily, once Su Chen goes back on his word, how will their Baishan tribe resist the Tang army?
"Because after you separated from the Mohe, our Tang army will protect your safety."

"ridiculous."

Duomuguli sneered, "Your Highness has taken away all the elite soldiers of our Baishan tribe, and now you want to protect us? Why can't we protect ourselves?"

"also."

Su Chen nodded, "This king will give you the qualification to form a self-defense force, but you can only form a thousand-man elite cavalry team at most."

"A thousand elite cavalry?"

"Yes! The maximum number of people is one thousand!"

Su Chen expressed his thoughts, "One thousand elite cavalry are enough to ensure the safety of your Baishan tribe, whether it is Chengshanzi or Antu."

"If you encounter a strong enemy, the Tang army will escort you!"

Qili Eduo vaguely understood what Su Chen meant.

The Baishan tribe can retain a certain number of troops to ensure that when the Baishan tribe encounters danger, they can evacuate with their people as soon as possible.

At the same time, these troops can assist them in quickly delivering messages to the Tang Dynasty, but the number of people needs to be strictly controlled.

"impossible!"

"There are so many people in my Baishan tribe, but only a thousand elite soldiers. How can we ensure their safety?"

"That's right, what can a thousand elite soldiers do on the grassland?" Everyone was talking about it.

Su Chen raised his hand with a smile and interrupted, "I repeat, when you leave the Mohe tribe and join the Tang Dynasty, you will become the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

"No matter what kind of danger or trouble you encounter, the Tang Army will always be your most solid backing!"

Everyone gradually fell silent and looked at Qili Eduo.

It is undeniable.

The conditions offered by Su Chen were already quite tempting.

But before accomplishing these things, they not only had to break away from the Mohe, but also had to take the initiative to hand over all of the 20,000 elite troops in their tribe to Su Chen.

This makes people a little hesitant.

Su Chen: "This is my sincerity, Chief, is it time for you to show your sincerity?"

Qi Li E Duo: “…”

I see your sincerity, but I feel uneasy.

Qili Eduo was thinking in his heart, should he really hand over the 20,000 elite soldiers of the Baishan Tribe to Su Chen?

"What if the prince regrets it?"

Duomuguli spoke directly, "If you take away my Baishan tribe's 20,000 elite soldiers and kill us, how can we resist your attack?"

Su Chen sighed, "Have you ever thought about why I would take action against you after you took the initiative to declare that you would join the Tang Dynasty?"

"Do you want everyone in the world to watch as I, like an executioner, massacre all the people who should have been the subjects of the Tang Dynasty?"

"If I really do this, how will the countries of the world view the Tang Dynasty, and how will the people of the world view me?"

Aren't you the executioner?
Duomuguli sneered in his heart, but he could only think about it in his heart.

However, what Su Chen said was correct.

If they really announced to the public that from today on, all the people of the Baishan tribe would surrender to the Tang Dynasty, no matter how cruel and ruthless Su Chen was, he would not dare to slaughter the Baishan tribe in front of the whole world.

Firstly, the Tang Dynasty has to save its reputation and cannot do this. Secondly, if Su Chen does this, it will cut off all those who want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Once they encounter the Tang army, these people can only fight hard for a chance of survival!
"This is a serious matter. I need time to think about it."

Qili Eduo pondered and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, why don't you stay in our Baishan tribe for a few days and make a decision after we discuss it."

"nature."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "I came here with sincerity, and I hope the leader can accept my proposal."

"Okay, okay, come on, let's drink."

"Your Majesty, please."

"Chief, please!"

……

The banquet is over.

Su Chen was arranged to stay in a clean yard.

After the people in charge of guarding dispersed, Sun Qiang and Jin Yong came up to Su Chen.

"My Lord, this kind of deal is too bad, isn't it?"

Jin Yong was a little puzzled. Based on his six months of experience in the industry, Su Chen was somewhat losing money by doing this.

Taking the vast tracts of land around Zhacheng and attacking cities and grasslands such as Chengshanzi in exchange for the surrender of the Baishan tribe may even give rise to a more powerful tribe.

Su Chen waved his hand calmly, "Calm down, no matter how strong the Baishan tribe is, it is just an ant in front of the Tang Dynasty."

Sun Qiang: "Your Highness is interested in the Mohe cavalry?"

Su Chen glanced at Sun Qiang, smiled and nodded, "You're right, I'm attracted by their cavalry."

When they were at Hengdao River, Su Chen saw Li Wang Qilin and the cavalry behind him, and Su Chen thought about recruiting these people for his own use.

However, the hatred between the two sides has already been formed, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask Li Wang Qilin to surrender.

The Baishan tribe is different.

At least for now, the Tang Dynasty and the Baishan tribe have not really fought each other.

If the Baishan tribe could be recruited for one's own use, then a powerful elite cavalry would emerge from here.

With the strength of the Mohe cavalry, they should be able to crush the Persian Empire, right?

of course.

The prerequisite is that Qili Eduo agrees to his conditions.

"But what if they disagree?"

"If you don't agree, you'll naturally overturn the table..."

Su Chen leaned back in his chair and raised his head, "However, the conditions I offered them are already their best choice now."

"Unless Qi Li E Duo is crazy, he will want to fight us head-on."

"Isn't he afraid of the Baishan tribe like the Sumo tribe?"

Sun Qiang and the other man grinned immediately.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Okay, take a rest and be alert."

"Yes!"

When Su Chen was resting peacefully, Qili Eduo couldn't fall asleep and didn't feel sleepy at all.

Not only Qili Eduo, but also Duomuguli and others were all sitting in the hall, each of them was silent.

In the end, it was Qili Eduo who spoke first, "What do you think of Su Chen's proposal?"

Faced with Qili Eduo's proposal, some people hesitated, some remained silent, and of course some people spoke.

"Chief, I think we can give it a try."

"Try?"

Qi Li E Duo looked over and said, "Just try it, our 20,000 elite soldiers will be given to him."

"But at the same time, we will also get large areas of grassland and fertile soil."

Qili Eduo sighed. This was also the most troubling aspect for him.

Su Chen’s price is really tempting.

Even though they knew that the price of doing so would be the loss of all the elite troops of the Baishan tribe, they still couldn't help but want to give it a try.

"Chief, I do have a suggestion."

"Tell me!"

"Why not let Su Chen contact the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty first? If he really gets the imperial decree from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to confer the title, we may be able to agree to it!"

Ok?
Qili Eduo immediately sat up straight, "Go on!"

Duomuguli said in a deep voice: "We can find an excuse to delay for a while, so that Su Chen can get the imperial edict of conferring the title. As soon as his imperial edict arrives, we will immediately declare our separation from Mohe and surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"

"By then, all the countries in the world will know that our Baishan tribe has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Even if Su Chen wants to go back on his word, he won't dare to attack us!"

Qili Eduo nodded in understanding.

With such a major premise, even if Su Chen wanted to go back on his word, he could not save the face of the Tang Dynasty.

"But leader, do we really want to break away from the Mohe?"

Duomuguli said softly: "This matter is very serious. Should we ask the elders for their opinion?"
