Tang Jian turned around at the door and asked knowingly: "Oh? This, will it be too embarrassing? Will it damage the livelihood of the people in your country?"

"Of course not. We Western Turkic people are very friendly and adore Datang. I heard that it is a deal with Datang. The people are absolutely enthusiastic."

In the end, Tang Jian and his party purchased [-] sheep from Western Turks at the price of [-] sheep. After all, [-] troops and [-] sheep are enough to eat for a while. That's it, the war is over.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not natives of the Western Turkic grasslands, and they could not just eat mutton without other things.

Cheng Yaojin saw the whole process of this mission, and on the way back, he kept saying that Tang Jian was a cunning old fellow, two hundred and one sheep?There are [-] ones in the country, and the bargain price is too ruthless. The monarchs and ministers of the Western Turks were eaten to death.

As a result, Tang Jian said another sentence, which made Cheng Yaojin dumbfounded.

"If it weren't for the fact that they are too poor, I would have offered a price of one hundred. Anyway, they are rushing to sell it to us. Unless we have the strength to want it, they have no place to sell it.

And even if the two hundred is temporarily stored in their hands, they will return it sooner or later. "

"What? Didn't you see that you old man Tang is also doing gangster work? You still want to cheat with others but can't get the money back?

Such a thing, my old Cheng Jiedao background is too embarrassing to do it, it's too bad. "

Tang Jian scolded with a smile: "Black people eat black people? Thanks to you, Lao Cheng, who is still a general of the Tang Dynasty, how can countries lose their status.

What I'm talking about is that in the future they will definitely use the money to go to our Datang to buy things, such as salt, tea, etc., and the tea and salt we sell to foreign countries are more than twice as expensive as domestic ones.

We earn more than this star inside and out. "

This is too bad. Although Cheng Yaojin didn't like these foreigners in the grassland, he still couldn't help expressing sympathy for those people at this time, pointing at Tang Jian and scolding: "You shouldn't be a minister of Honghe Temple!" In other countries, now it seems that you are purely a profiteer, yes, a profiteer!"

"Hahahaha, if you talk about profiteers, don't mention me. These things were jointly decided by a group of people from the household department and Consort Du. I'm just an executor." Tang Jian explained the reason.

In fact, these are only from the perspective of Datang, and they are indeed a bit too ruthless.

But if it is viewed from the perspective of Western Turks, it is a different scene.

They saw that Datang fought a battle with 10 people and actually paid 30 guan, and they were already drooling with envy. Datang is so rich, so rich that people really want to plunder it.

Of course, thinking of his own military strength, he was also glad that the Western Turks did not offend Datang, that's why they found good things.

A large amount of money was exchanged for a batch of flocks damaged in the winter, and in the future, they can buy the necessities of grassland life with Datang. This is simply a big pie that fell from the sky.

Therefore, all the Western Turkic monarchs and ministers were excited and joyful, and some people even suggested that such transactions can continue to be done with Datang in the future?If it can be sold to them for a long time, then Western Turks will also prosper a lot.

Cheng Yaojin and his party came back with [-] sheep in less than ten days after going out. It can be said that it went smoothly. All red.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cheng Yaojin was describing the wonderful scene of this mission vividly, and all the generals burst into laughter when they heard it, it was wonderful.

Everyone no longer underestimates Tang Jian, Minister of Honglu Temple. Now it seems that doing a good job in diplomacy can really be a big help.

Yu Chigong said: "The current wars are almost incomprehensible. It seems that there is such a convenience. You don't need to bring food and grass when you go out for an expedition. You can just buy it from the neighboring country directly. Du Ma's method is really worry-free.

I don't know if there will be a day in the future when we can win a war with another country without our taking action? "

Tang Jian said: "At that time, someone in the Yizheng Hall suggested that if there is enough money, maybe they can pay for the Western Turks to send troops to help our Tang Dynasty destroy Gaochang, but His Majesty thought it would damage the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. Name, directly denied."

"Of course it must be denied, we have countless men in Tang Dynasty, do we need others to help us fight?

It's a joke, we can't do such a shameless thing. " Yuchi Gong shouted loudly.

Extremely extreme!Many people followed suit.

"Old Tang, who is so unscrupulous and came up with such an idea? You tell us." Someone asked curiously.

Of course, Tang Jian couldn't say it anymore. Once this plan was implemented, he was taking credit from the front-line army. If it was leaked, it would be an offense.

Li Ji changed the topic and said: "Hiring troops from other countries to help us fight is also a good way to reduce our casualties.

But doing so has a lot of disadvantages, and it is absolutely not advisable unless it is a last resort.

One is the ownership of the captured territory. If the Western Turks are allowed to take down Gaochang, there is no guarantee that they will not have a second heart.

The second is that once our soldiers slack off, but if there is a war, we will rely on the soldiers of other countries. Before long, all our soldiers will lose their elite combat power because of their pampering. "

After everyone heard this, Qi Qi was astonished. This is really the truth. After all, it is the handsome man who has a unique eye and can see the key point at a glance.

The army of the Tang Dynasty ate a fat mutton banquet that day. The scene of a hundred thousand troops cooking mutton was so spectacular, and the fragrance wafted for miles, and even the city of Gaochang on the opposite side could smell it.

In just three days, the daily smell of meat has distracted the soldiers guarding Gaochang from the opposite side.

There is no way not to slack off. The Tang army is a foreigner, but the sergeants who are supposed to eat and sleep in the open can eat a full meal of meat, and the conditions are extremely superior.

On the other hand, on the side of Gaochang, he shrank his troops and defended the capital, not to mention, because suddenly a hundred thousand troops were gathered in the capital, and the pressure to raise troops in a city increased sharply, and the food for the army was already becoming increasingly scarce.

Under these advances and retreats, it is impossible for these soldiers not to have different ideas. They are also soldiers, so why is there such a big gap?

Li Ji learned from the scouts that the enemy's morale had been weakened. Gao Chang wanted to use the tactics of delaying and wasting, but now it is self-defeating, and I'm afraid it won't last long.

Li Ji simply added another fire, let go of the road, and let the people of Gaochang pass unimpeded, no matter whether they came out of the city or went from the direction of Datang to Gaochang Wangcheng, they would not be blocked.

In this way, the Datang side even had envoys who instigated rebellion, and these people took Datang’s policy of persuading surrender along the way. Tang soldiers are the same.

Just the last sentence made the enemy army on the opposite side feel hot. Many people have already started to think about how to sneak over to join the enemy.

At the beginning, the generals at the top could kill people and establish their prestige, but then the ministers at the Gaochang court saw that the situation was over, and even took the initiative to secretly contact the front-line generals, wanting to instigate rebellion together.

So less than seven days later, the battle between Datang and Gaochang ended in a very dramatic way. Gaochang's military officials captured Gaochang King Jutai's family, Kaesong surrendered to Datang's army, and Gaochang was destroyed!

Such a result was unexpected and reasonable, but it made Li Ji and other generals who had traveled a long distance slightly disappointed. They thought it was a long-lost battle, but now it seems that it is boring!Ju Tae is trash.

Half a month later, the news of Gaochang's great victory came back to Chang'an, and Li Er was no longer as excited as usual to win a big victory and destroy the country.

In his mind, the destruction of the country this time couldn't be more normal. The only thing that interests him is that the damage of Datang in this battle is almost negligible, and the speed of ending the war is unprecedented.

When Gaochang seized the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and cut off the Silk Road in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, no one would have thought that Gaochang would die in the hands of these merchants' 30 yuan of money. I am afraid that until his head was chopped off, that Prince Gaochang Still dreaming of getting rich.

After taking Gaochang, Li Ji personally led an army of [-] to guard Gaochang. It was agreed that Gaochang would have a permanent army of [-], temporarily [-] troops from the Tang Dynasty, to cooperate with the local recruitment of [-] new recruits, and then rotate them later.

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin each brought 2 people to join Chang'an.

Chapter 389 Xuanxuan's Extra Rewards (Two in One)

Lanterns and festoons were displayed in the city of Chang'an to welcome the Northwest army to return to the division in victory. It is no exaggeration to say that after three months of expedition, Cheng Laomo is the one who is most anxious to go home now, because he has not touched a drop of alcohol for three full months, and his heart It has long been like a needle pricking a cat.

After finally waiting for the return ceremony at the gate of the city, His Majesty rewarded the meritorious soldiers in the palace, and the banquet began. The old devil's alcoholism was like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and he let go of his binge drinking.

So after the celebration banquet, he passed out gorgeously drunk and was carried back. Everyone has seen such a scene. If one day sees Lu Guogong Chengzhi refraining from drinking before the festival banquet, the sun will probably come out from the west.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yaojin was still hungover, Cheng Ruyu's small figure tiptoed into her father's bedroom with a small wine jar in her arms, and then opened the wine jar beside Cheng Yaojin's bed. The aroma of wine permeated the entire room in an instant.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin on the bed twitched his nose, opened his eyes in a daze, sat up suddenly, and yelled: "Man up! Drink!"
