Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 201 Chapter 201
"That's right! If you won the city of Medog and still don't want to let my son Motuo go, then I'm at a big loss?"

At this time, Dahantai also rode forward and asked loudly.

Li Ke raised his head: "I, Li Ke, will do what I say, so naturally I won't break my promise!"

"That won't work!"

Da Hantai frowned, and waved his hand to refuse.

He turned his head away again, whispered a few words to his second son Jiye, and then said: "I have an idea..."

Li Ke wanted to hear what his plans were: "Tell me about it?"

Dahantai hesitated for a moment, and said: "You should also know that I, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, sent me weapons to stop your Shu army."

"Now that I let you go, I must have offended Zanpu, and he will definitely send troops to punish our troops!"

Li Ke smiled contemptuously, and said quietly: "Songtsan Gampo can't protect himself, how can he have the spare power to conquer your Wohan tribe?"

"You don't have to worry about it!"

Da Handai said: "I took his weapon. If I let you go back, at least return the weapon to him! You...you have to make up for it!"

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I... I want at least 20 swords and guns, and... 20 horses!"

Li Ke chuckled in his heart, this Dahandai is really greedy, he got the weapons of Songtsan Gampo, now he came to make a deal with him, and blackmailed the weapons and horses.

Da Handai said that he would return the weapons, which is obviously a lie.

This person is so greedy and has always been at odds with Songtsan Gampo, how could he be willing to return the weapons?

Besides, when his army gets close enough, Songtsan Gampo will not be able to protect himself, and Dahantai wants to retreat, but he probably won't have this chance.

Of course Li Ke wouldn't exchange war horses and weapons. He didn't have many war horses on the plateau, and he was even less willing to give the weapons to this sweaty tribe.

After taking down Tubo, it remains to be seen whether this Khan tribe will submit or rebel. If he is given horse weapons and this old man uses these weapons to resist himself, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Moreover, after winning Medog City, Li Ke must turn back and seize the Woluo Valley. The Woluo Valley is an important transportation thoroughfare. If it is not in his own hands, he will really feel uneasy.

Li Ke thought for a while, and refused: "I won't give you the horse and weapons!"

"Then...don't even think about passing through the valley, I have only one son at Hantai!"

Dahandai's face changed at this time, he waved his hand and said angrily.

"Don't worry!"

Li Ke said again: "I don't need to exchange war horses, but I can exchange land with you. Two hundred miles south of Yupen City, there is a large open area, where there are mountains and rivers, and rich products. You can move there. !"

"No...my department has lived at the foot of this mountain since ancient times, and will never move to another place!"

Da Hantai refused.

Li Ke was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "Chief, you don't have to rush to refuse. You can ask your son Jiye that time. The residence I provide is definitely better than this one at the foot of Luo Mountain!"

Li Ke saw that Dahantai was a stubborn old man, and he would never move away from his ancestral land.But his second son, Ji, is also a smart man, maybe he can think clearly.

He added: "This Woluo mountain is a place of war. You were suppressed by the Tubo king at the beginning because of the ominousness of this place. Why don't you move to the south of Yupen City, where you will be far away from right and wrong, and your tribe can develop in a longer term. "

The Wohan tribe is fierce and powerful, not because they were born like this. The valley is located in an important road, and they have to fight with all kinds of people for a long time, so they naturally developed a fierce temperament.

If this tribe can move to another place safely, it will be extremely beneficial to Li Ke and to the Khan tribe in his nest.

Li Ke has mastered this main road, and he will be able to smoothly connect Motuo City and Yupen City in the future, which is convenient for him to march from the base camp to Luoxie City.

And the Wohan tribe no longer has to fight with others, and has a more stable habitat.

The land used for exchange was originally occupied by another tribe, but Ma Liuzhi led his troops to attack, and the other tribe surrendered directly.In order to facilitate management, Li Ke directly moved the tribe to the side of Yupen City.

Naturally, the Wohan tribe cannot enjoy this treatment. The people in this tribe are barbaric, so they have to stay away from big towns, otherwise chaos will easily arise.

Da Handai was still angry, but Najiya's eyes lit up at this moment, and he walked to Da Handai's side.

After seeing this auspiciousness, Li Ke was also very interested in this solution, and Li Ke was overjoyed.

At this time, Dahantai murmured a few words to Najiye, and saw that Jiye patted Dahantai, and then took a step forward.

"His Royal Highness, the exchange of land can be discussed. However, our department lives in Woluo Mountain all year round. If it passes by at once, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive..."

Ji also said.

Li Ke smiled in his heart. It seemed that this tribe still wanted to get something from him.

That's all, as long as you can get this traffic artery, you can give me some food, as long as this nest of Khan tribe lives in peace and doesn't cause trouble for yourself.

"Our Shu army is willing to provide [-] shi of grain for your Wohan tribe!" Li Ke said.

"No! Fifty thousand stones are too little!"

Ji also shook his head: "At least 20 shi!"

Li Ke sneered, 20 shi of grain was enough to feed his army for a month.

Although a lot of military rations were obtained in the Dajian furnace before, it can't be wasted like this.

"One hundred thousand stones, this is my bottom line, and all of you must evacuate immediately, without further delay!" Li Kelang said.

At this time, Dahantai jumped out again: "Then when will you release Mo Tuo?"

Li Ke said calmly: "Whenever you move, I will release Mo Tuo!"

After a long period of arguing, the two sides finally reached a consensus. Li Ke exchanged land and bought [-] shi of grain in exchange for this traffic artery.

Although the price is a bit high, it is still worth it considering that this valley is an important passage connecting Medog City and Yupen City.

If you walk from the upper reaches of the Xianghe River, you will have to detour hundreds of miles, and you have to deal with many tribes along the way.

Now, without wasting the lives of the soldiers, the valley can be successfully occupied, and the army can point to the city of Medog.

After staying on the river bank for another ten days, a large amount of grain was transported, and the Wohan tribe began to move.

After waiting for two more days, Li Ke finally entered the valley.

Considering the importance of the valley, he still sent troops to occupy the valley and built fortifications.

Now he can sit in the valley and look at the city of Medog not far away.

The city of Medog is located on the bank of the Tibetan River. Once you have Medog, you can go all the way up the river and reach the city of Luoxie.

This city is located on the side of two mountains, the climate is warm and humid, and it is irrigated by a big river, so it can be regarded as a livable city.

At the same time, because it is located at the end of the Tibetan River and directly leads to the royal court, its strategic position is also very important.

The city has no natural barriers to defend, and the only big river, the Tibetan River, is also on the west side of Medog City.

Li Ke fought from the east, so it stands to reason that there is no need to cross the river.

However, Li Ke turned the sheepskin raft out.
