Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 267 Invited (New Year Plus Monthly Pass)

Sun Xiangfu's proposal made Yi Nan tempted. Judging from the bet Sun Xiangfu said, whether he wins or loses, it is good for his Xue Yantuo tribe. With his Xue Yantuo tribe's current strength, it is really not suitable to compete with Datang went to war.

He lacks swords, leather armor, these things, because he has not yet conquered tribes like Shiwei and Mohe, so he even lacks wood for making arrows. Mobei Grassland is really all grass, making arrows It is not easy to find wood for the branches, which leads to the fact that although his population is large, his military strength cannot be compared with that of the Turks in the past.

The barbarian in history also devoted himself to development for more than ten years before he had the courage to ask Li Shimin to marry the princess, but he was rejected because Li Shimin knew his military strength very well and was confident that he could almost defeat him.

But if he surrendered to Datang because of what Sun Xiangfu said, it would be a great contribution to Sun Xiangfu. For such a great favor, he must strive for enough benefits.

"Since Dudu Sun is interested, it's okay to bet with you." After thinking for a while, Yi Nan finally let go.

Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he didn't show it on his face, and said, "Actually, to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, for the leader, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. It's hard to say what kind of favor your majesty will give you. But Mr. Sun can promise you to help you build a huge city with a greenhouse for living in and a greenhouse for cattle and sheep to spend the winter. In this way, once your khanate is established, those Mobei that have just been conquered by you The tribes will gather around you very quickly. As for why those tribes will gather around you after the city is built, you will know everything when you look at Shanyang City."

"Sun Dudu seems to have a lot of confidence in your soldiers! The warriors of my Xue Yantuo department are as powerful as the Turks on horseback, so it's not like they can't even win a game! Shouldn't we Tell me, after my warriors win, how much fodder and coal should you give my troops for the winter?"

"Hehe, the result will be announced soon..."

Just when Sun Xiangfu was about to speak, the bruised and swollen Sanjie opened the sheepskin curtain of the tent and stumbled in. Behind him, more than a dozen people who looked similar to him walked in.

"My lord, Sanjay has embarrassed you."

"Uh, that's it, is it over?"

Yi Nan looked at Sangjie and the group of people kneeling behind him who refused to look up with disbelief.

At this time, Su Dingfang brought Xi Junmai, Xue Li and the others, walked in with their heads held high, their faces blushing, and their breath not out of breath.

"It's so boring, it's so boring, none of them can go three rounds in my hands, that kid Xue Li grabbed it so fast, Lao Zhang and Abu haven't made a move yet! The so-called Xue Yantuo tribe of this group is the most brave and good at fighting. He dismounted all the warriors." Xi Junmai complained as he walked towards the tent.

Daringly, the guy who subdued Sanjie with this move is not the most capable general under Sun Zhengming.

Who is Xue Li?That is recorded in the official history. He rode alone and took the head of the general among thousands of troops. Although he is young now, he has Su Dingfang and Xi Jun who are also known for their bravery. There are more than ten or twenty Xue Yantuo The cavalier can't stop him from showing off.

Looking at the situation of the two sides, Yi Nan naturally knew the victory and defeat of the two sides. The number of people on his side was more than double that of others, and they were all beaten by others in a short time. The difference in strength is too big No wonder this Sun Zhengming suddenly became arrogant in front of him.

"You are waiting for these useless things, and you still don't get out of the tent, are you still embarrassing the leader here?"

After Yi Nan drove Sangjie and others out of the camp, he said to Sun Xiangfu again, "I lost this bet, but if I am willing to admit defeat, you must first prove to me that what you said The city can really help us grassland people resist the cold winter, and then, fulfill your promise and build a city for the khanate that my Xue Yantuo tribe will soon establish."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled knowingly. He knew the purpose of Yi Nan's request for this condition. He had expanded too fast before, occupied too much territory, and there were not enough people in his tribe. Wan is still scattered in the tribes, and there will be internal instability. The previous Xieli also had a similar situation to him.

Therefore, he really needs the kind of city that Sun Xiangfu said before that can help his people resist the cold winter. In this way, he will soon be able to gather people from different tribes and form a monolithic one.

In addition, with the name of Datang's vassal state, it would be difficult for Datang to intervene if he later sent troops to conquer Shiwei and Mohe. Goguryeo maintains close ties, and Datang and Goguryeo don't deal with it very much.

Third, after becoming a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could no longer continue to control Xue Yantuo's commodities. They were a tribe that was a little behind the Turkic tribe before, so they needed to learn a lot of craftsmanship from the Tang Dynasty. to strengthen yourself.

Sun Xiangfu analyzed all these things, and said with a smile, "What's the difficulty? As long as the leader of Yinan comes to Shanyang with me, it's clear at a glance whether it's good or bad, whether it's okay or not. I promise to help you build the city." Sun Zhengming will definitely do what he said."

Yi Nan has his plan in mind, why not Sun Xiangfu?

What makes nomads the hardest to conquer?homeless.

And what happens when they settle down?

This is the same as Li Jing's surprise attack on Xieli who was confronting Cheng Yaojin outside Yumen Pass, a battle can be won.

Of course, in the case of Yinan being honest, Datang was unwilling to beat him. After all, with the current population of Datang, the land he ruled could not be cultivated!

However, not beating him does not mean not aggressing him. The aggression of cultural customs is the most difficult to resist. When these herdsmen on the grassland habitually gather in cities for the winter, it becomes easier to spread culture to them. Like a story about a tea house in Shanyang City, it will soon spread to the ears of all the residents in the city. In just a few months, the popularity of Chinese in the city has increased a lot.

Moreover, due to the demand for forage, they would want to learn from the Han people to grow oats, to ensure their own rations and at the same time accumulate enough forage for livestock to survive the winter.After learning to grow oats, they will learn from the Han people to grow other better crops, such as more delicious wheat, spices that are in great demand on the grassland, and so on.

And when they got used to living in the city and learned to farm, the difference from the Han people was very small.

These cultural aggressions will make them have a centripetal force on Datang invisibly. Of course, this is only the first step.

Corrupting the rulers on the grassland with a comfortable life is one of the reasons why Sun Xiangfu launched many entertainment projects in Shanyang.

Of course, it is not only the rulers who are corrupt. When the common people can live a full life with enough food and warm clothes by their own productivity, who would want to risk their lives to start unnecessary wars with you.

"So, tomorrow, I will order five thousand Qingqi, and I will follow you to Shanyang City to have a look."

Yi Nan finally made a decision, and Sun Xiangfu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The governor is waiting for the arrival of the leader of Yi Nan in Shanyang City."

"Hehe, I am also waiting for the leader of the barbarian at the racetrack in Shanyang City. I heard from your subordinates that you are the bravest and most skilled person in Xue Yantuo's tribe. Please give me your advice when the time comes!"

The militant Xi Junmai did not forget to interject at this time, but it was Yi Nan who felt the difference in the Tang Dynasty even more. With so many arrogant soldiers, it is no wonder that Tuli Yejieli was defeated in succession. Hand of Datang.At the same time, it also made him feel that it is wise to temporarily choose to surrender to Datang.

After bidding farewell to Yi Nan, when Sun Xiangfu led five thousand riders out of his camp, they were watched by the awe-inspiring eyes of the soldiers from Xue Yantuo's tribe.

The city wall of Dingxiang City was not considered tall. When Chang Sun Chong saw Sun Xiangfu and his men coming out safely, a big stone fell from his heart, and he ran to the bottom of the city in a panic.

Grabbing the reins of Sun Xiangfu's horse, Chang Sun Chong asked, "How did the talk go? Are you sure we won't fight anymore?"

"Of course I won't fight. Tomorrow, Yinan will set off to Shanyang City as a guest, so put your heart in your stomach! I'm here to say hello to you. I'm going back to Shanyang soon, you Dingxiang For those who cannot be accommodated, let General Su take them back to Shanyang! There are more coal and fodder in stock.”

"You, do you want to let Yinan's people go to Shanyang? Are you a little too big." Hearing this, Chang Sun Chong looked at Sun Xiangfu in surprise and said.

"Hehe, what's wrong with letting him go to Shanyang? If he doesn't go, my work will be in vain, but don't worry, he will only go to 5000 people." Sun Xiangfu smiled indifferently.

"Then you should let General Su take all the cattle and sheep of Dingxiang to Shanyang. Xue Yantuo will go to Shanyang with [-] people, and leave [-] to [-]. If you feel ill towards me in Dingxiang, what should you do?" Chang Sun Chong said. Said angrily.

"As for this ruined city, you just treat it as a treasure, don't worry! Yi Nan wants to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, and will not touch your Dingxiang City. After returning to Shanyang, I will invite you!" Your Majesty, support him in establishing the Khanate and manage the land of Mobei for the Tang Dynasty."

There is a deep meaning in Sun Xiangfu's words, that is, Chang Sun Chong is his own, so he can let him know. What does it mean to manage the land of Mobei for Datang?This is the hole he dug for Yi Nan.

It's okay to be a minister on the table!From then on, Datang will declare that Mobei Grassland is the inherent territory of Datang, but it is currently entrusted to the subordinate King Khan for specific management. After joining Datang, the people of the Xueyantuo Khanate established later can also be counted as the people of Datang. In the dissemination of some scripts and stories in the future, Sun Xiangfu will let people continue to promote this set of theories , forming a perception among all the common people.

After all, before the beggar servant led the Huihe tribe to surrender, even the land was allocated to the Anbei Dadu Protectorate.

In this way, there is another advantage, which is to set a tone for all the Fanbang kingdoms that may submit in the future. If they submit, first of all, the sovereignty of the land will belong to the Tang Dynasty. If they rebel in the future, the nature will be civil war. That's all about quelling internal rebellions, not aggressive wars.
