I have a backstage in Datang

There is no doubt that Gu Tianya is forcing the other party to make a choice.

Either stand with me.

Either stand on the side of Goguryeo.

Want to have both sides?

Do you Tibetans have big faces?

……

Lu Dongzan is obviously caught in the battle between heaven and man!

This person known as the wise man of Tubo can see Gu Tianya's determination at a glance, and it is precisely because he has seen Gu Tianya's determination that he has regrets in his heart.

Since ancient times, it is said that the generation of heroes will never regret it.

However, he just regretted it.

After a long time, the man suddenly sighed, bowed his hands solemnly, looked at Gu Tianya and asked, "Lord Gu, Lu Dongzan would like to ask you, if I don't participate in the auction of land rights tonight, will I never again?" There is no chance to get out of this Youzhou City..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area was filled with chills.

Everyone understood what Lu Dongzan meant.

Why did he ask whether he could get out of Youzhou City? It was obvious that he had already made up his mind. What he said would no longer participate in the auction of land rights in Youzhou, which clearly implied that Tubo would choose Goguryeo.

Sure enough, it is no longer a matter of choice.

It's a pity that I chose the opposite side.

Several Dukes of the Tang Dynasty had a murderous look on their faces, and said solemnly: "Okay, very good, since we are not friends anymore, it will be convenient for us to do it."

Li Shimin's face was also slightly cold, but as the emperor, it was not convenient for him to go off in person, so he just said lightly: "I am very sorry for Tubo's choice."

Gu Tianya also seemed a little surprised, he took a deep look at Lu Dongzan.

Suddenly Gu Tianya smiled thoughtfully, and said meaningfully: "It seems that the Lord of Goguryeo paid a lot of money. Otherwise, with your name as a wise man praised by Ludong, it is impossible to give up Youzhou and choose Goguryeo instead. ...Obviously, you have received an offer that you cannot refuse."

He smiled slightly, and said curiously, "Can I ask how much you have received from Goguryeo?"

Lu Dongzan sighed again, bowed his hands solemnly again, and said, "Lord Gu, you are at the level of an emperor, so why bother with the next Tubo Prime Minister, although I am a great chancellor, I am supposed to be an extremely human minister in Tubo. No matter how extreme a minister I am, I am still a minister!"

This statement has two meanings.

First of all, he politely refused to answer Gu Tianya's question.

Secondly, he hinted to Gu Tianya with deep meaning.

What is the hint?

It is the reason why Tubo chose to help Goguryeo.

He said that he was just a courtier, which implied that he could not be the master. No matter how powerful a courtier is, he still has to listen to the monarch when it comes to decision-making at the national level.

Obviously, it was not he who chose to stand in line with Goguryeo in Tubo.

How shrewd Gu Tianya is, he understood Lu Dongzan's hint immediately.

It wasn't until this time that he leisurely answered the other party's first question, saying: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains since ancient times, that the envoys of the two countries should not be beheaded when they are at war. Since the opponents in the war don't even behead envoys, how can we be embarrassed?" A foreign prime minister who has not fought..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Dongzan, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you can leave at any time, and I guarantee that no one will stop you in the entire Nether Cloud Land."

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, and said, "Where are you out of the land of dark clouds?"

This time Gu Tianya did not answer, but Li Shimin said calmly, "In the whole Tang Dynasty, no one will make things difficult for you."

Lu Dongzan asked again, and said solemnly: "Is this a guarantee from the two of you?"

Li Shimin glanced at him, and said in a calm tone, "With your status, you are not qualified to be our guarantor. The reason why we guaranty is only because of the demeanor of the Han family in the Central Plains."

Lu Dongzan didn't care about this kind of ridicule, nodded and said: "In that case, I will leave. It's a pity tonight. It's a pity that I, a Tibetan, can't gain a foothold in Youzhou."

Gu Tianya suddenly stretched out his pen, wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and said: "Let me write you a note, take it with you when you leave, although I have already guaranteed that nothing will happen to you, but the generation of Youyun After all, there are still bandits. You take my note, those bandits dare not touch you..."

Lu Dongzan's eyes flickered a few times, and he asked in shock, "Could it be that those bandits are all under your command?"

Gu Tianya looked at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You don't have to pretend to be so shocked to test me, I stopped playing this game a year ago. I did let my subordinates pretend to be bandits before, but now Youzhou There is no need to do this anymore. The banditry I just mentioned is a real banditry."

While talking, the note has been written.

He stretched out his hand to pass the note to the other party, and said again: "Although they are real bandits, they are after all begging for life on my land, so no matter if they are Turkic bandits, Tuyuhun bandits, or small bandits from the Western Regions, they even come from thousands of miles away. The Tianzhu bandits who come here to beg for life, no matter which bandit they are from, they have to give me a three-point favor as the master. If you take this note from me and put it on your body, those bandits will never do anything to you..."

Lu Dongzan was thoughtful, and suddenly looked at many high-ranking foreigners in the hall, and said with a smile: "I understand, those bandits may not be real bandits, just like we Tubo chose to stand in line with Goguryeo, presumably in this hall There are also many people who choose to stand in line with the Han people. Since they stand in line, they are allies. As an ally, it is natural to do something to show favor..."

Gu Tianya was noncommittal, just smiled and said: "Sometimes it is not a good thing to speak too clearly."

Lu Dongzan nodded slowly, suddenly his face was slightly startled, and he said solemnly: "Thank you Lord Gu for your awakening, but Lu Dongzan still has something to say, this time I came to Youzhou, not alone. I am Tubo Prime Minister, there are guards when you go in and out. As long as You Yun and Datang's regular troops don't make things difficult, I don't care about ordinary banditry at all."

This is very arrogant, it is clear that the combat effectiveness of some small countries is not in the eyes,

He glanced at the entire banquet hall, and suddenly sneered and said: "Our Tubo is a big country in the world, and the soldiers under our command are good at fighting. If there is really an unsightly banditry problem, I can help Lord Gu to rectify it."

Gu Tianya chuckled, waved his hands and said: "There is no need to say more about the scene, the Prime Minister of Tubo, please feel free. We are busy auctioning land rights, so we will not send someone to send you out of the city."

"As you wish!"

Lu Dongzan bent down abruptly, and this time he gave a very solemn gift.

But seeing this Tubo prime minister full of admiration, he said sincerely: "Lord Gu is worthy of being a figure at the emperor level, and his heart is as bright and open as the sea. You know that we Tubo are already on the opposite side, but you are still willing to treat me with a pleasant face. It's a pity that I'm just a subject, and I can't influence the decision of my lord..."

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, and for some reason suddenly laughed heartily, and said: "Actually, this is very good, if not, it would be bad. I used to hear people say that Songtsan Gampo of Tubo is a wise king. But he This Mingjun is a Mingjun of a foreign race, and the land is still bordering on us Han people, for the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, it is like lying on the side of a couch with a fierce tiger."

He paused slightly while speaking, and then said: "There is a tiger on the side of the couch, you can either fight it or appease it. According to the foreign policy passed down by the Han people since ancient times, it is very likely that they will marry a princess as a marriage. Worrying, because I don’t want to let any niece marry and go to Tubo to suffer... Now it’s all right, don’t worry, since Songtsan Gampo chose to go to Goguryeo, then we Han people don’t need to consider using methods of peace and appeasement.”

Lu Dongzan's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Can I understand Lord Gu's words as a threat?"

Gu Tianya glanced at him indifferently, shook his head and said: "No, you are not qualified enough. I just solved a regret that has been with me for many years, so I couldn't help but express my feelings for a while, and I couldn't help but feel it. Hehehehe, Tibetans cannot marry our princess, do you know how happy this matter will make me?"

Lu Dongzan's face was full of bewilderment, he faintly felt that Gu Tianya was really happy.But why he was happy, he was puzzled.

The so-called marrying the princess and getting married is just a guess. Could it be that the world-renowned Lord Youyun became very happy just because there was no need to do a guess?

Should not be ah.

Gu Tianya shouldn't be so shallow.

Too bad he'll never know the answer.

At this time, one of Gu's disciples suddenly walked out. It was Li Chongyi, who was ranked second among the disciples. He cupped his hands and said, "Major Tubo, I will send you out of the hall. No matter what, you are a guest from afar. But my master still has something to offer." Since you are busy with business, it is definitely impossible for him to send you out of the hall, so please don't blame the Tubo Prime Minister, I will be responsible for sending you out of the hall."

Lu Dongzan hastily cupped his hands to return the gift, and said solemnly: "We are already in hostile camps, but the Gu family still sent me the gift, and Lu Dongzan was quite honored to be able to send me off personally by the second person in the true biography..."

Li Chongyi smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, and suddenly looked at the three-dimensional projection on the wall.

As if he wanted to remember this scene forever, he turned around suddenly after a long time, and shouted: "Unfortunately, I am just a subject and cannot influence the choice of the monarch. Alas, Youzhou, Youzhou, why not choose Youzhou ..."

In the midst of shouting, full of grief and indignation, he turned and walked towards the door, obviously staggering.

Everyone at the banquet had different expressions and watched him leave without saying a word.

It wasn't until the figure of this person disappeared in the hall that Li Shimin suddenly looked at Gu Tianya with a light smile, and asked meaningfully: "Do you think his grief and indignation are true or false?"

Gu Tianya smiled, and said: "Whether it's true or not, this acting has passed the test. If there are awards for actors in the world, I will definitely award him a medal."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said: "Tuban Ludongzan, known as Yinhu. So, brother-in-law, you really should give him an award."

The emperor's words were self-explanatory, and he clearly meant that Lu Dongzan was acting just now.

Fang Xuanling interjected with a smile, and said, "I'm not as good as the same as the prime minister. This Tubo silver fox played an extremely wonderful role."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and joked: "Then please Fang Qing's family to work harder, and try to equal him when dealing with Tubo people in the future. He is the prime minister of Tubo, and you are the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If you can't act like him, I will It's not a bright face."

Fang Xuanling turned around and glanced at the door, sighed and said, "It's a pity that the Tibetans chose Goguryeo. The other country borders our Jiannan Road, and it will be very troublesome if they harass at the border."

Gu Tianya raised his head leisurely, looked outside the main hall door, and said: "It's no wonder they are nothing more than a long-distance relationship and a short-term attack. For Goguryeo, crossing the territory of the Tang Dynasty to communicate with a country is conducive to stumbling us. But for Tubo , Accepting the benefits of Goguryeo is a surprise. Even if they do not accept the benefits, they will not be able to get along well with Datang in this life."

Li Shimin savored these words slowly, and after a long time, he let out a breath slowly, and hummed coldly: "It's a long-distance friendship and a short-distance attack."

At this time, a group of people suddenly crowded in front of the hall, they were the rulers of those small countries in the Western Regions, and they all said: "Tubo chose the team Goguryeo, that is Songtsan Gampo who was blind, but our eyes are not blind, we have been He is a good friend of the Han people..."

This is what it means to make a covenant.

Li Shimin got up quickly, and Gu Tianya also got up. Although these lords were all small forces, Gu Tianya and Li Shimin still looked solemn, and at the same time bowed their hands and said: "Thank you, friend."

The heads of more than a dozen small countries were full of glory, and immediately climbed up the pole, asking tentatively: "Since we are friends, we must enjoy some convenience."

How could Gu Tianya not know the other party's heart, and said without hesitation: "Starting today, Youzhou's commercial tax will be halved. It will last for three years before it can be restored."

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "In addition, I will send out a tax reduction bill of 500 million. Anyone who holds this bill can deduct the tax of Nether Cloud Land."

The rulers of more than a dozen small countries were overjoyed immediately.

The business tax is halved for three years.

This policy alone will at least save everyone hundreds of thousands of guan.

In addition, there are 500 million tax deduction bills, which are even more touching, because they represent real money.

Even if the scale of his own business is too small to use so many tax deduction bills, he can still sell them to other countries for conversion. It means that Gu Tianya directly gave them 500 million yuan in benefits for forming an alliance.

Forming alliances since ancient times has paid attention to coming and going. Since Gu Tianya has given benefits, these small country leaders will definitely not refuse to show it.

I saw a lord speak first, and said solemnly: "Although Cheshiqian is a small country with few people, we still have some domestic troops. This time, the lord came to Youzhou and led a guard of 5000 people. Let me tell you something that is not afraid of everyone's jokes. After arriving in Youzhou, the lord of the country couldn't afford food and drink for the guards, which caused the guards to scatter, and they went to become bandits. If the lord of the country finds them, He must be severely punished..."

Everyone laughed, and other small country leaders also said: "It's the same, and we are the same. We brought thousands of guards, and we couldn't afford to support them after we arrived in Youzhou, so the guards scattered and didn't know where to go. Bandits. After these bastards return, they must be severely punished."

Gu Tianya and Li Shimin looked at each other and said with a smile: "A little punishment is enough. After all, the guards are self-sufficient when they go out. Maybe they can make meritorious deeds when they are bandits. In that case, we Han people have to give some rewards." Thank you..."

Such hints were almost explicit, and the heads of a dozen small countries suddenly smiled, and their eyes were full of excitement.

This scene fell into the eyes of countless people in the hall.

Chapter 341 [I really want to kill these Tubo people]

I was sitting on the table in Tuyuhun not far from Chapter 341 of the main text volume of Datang Youdai Backstage [I really want to kill this group of Tubo people]. Do you understand? Gu Tianya wants to give money as an encouragement to encourage those small countries to trouble Goguryeo."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet smiled and nodded, and said: "After he auctions the land rights in Youzhou this time, he will immediately have a huge amount of money in his pocket. For the emperor, the money cannot be left in the warehouse and moldy, it must be spent to have money." significance."

"I don't care if his money will go moldy or not? I'm only concerned about his giving money for encouragement..."

Murong Yanran looked excited, and said in a low voice: "This is a great deal, we Tuyuhun people must not be left behind, even those small countries can participate, how can the Tuyuhun people not take a share."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet still nodded with a smile, and said with a deep face: "Otherwise, why do you think that when the old man came to Youzhou this time, why did he bring a guard army of 2 people?"

Murong Yanran realized instantly, and said pleasantly: "It turns out that you have anticipated this a long time ago, so you brought a large army here. In name, it is to protect the caravan, but in fact, it is to help him fight."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet nodded slowly, and suddenly said: "The [-] troops are our official army in Tuyuhun, but we are not only dispatching official troops..."

Murong Yanran was slightly taken aback, then she seemed to be thinking, and said: "You mean those merchants who came with the caravan?"

Tuo Tuo Prophet nodded and said: "Tuyuhun people have been doing business for generations, and doing business needs to travel everywhere. Therefore, looking at all ethnic groups in the world, we Tuyuhun people have the strongest folk power. If any merchant wants to travel, his caravan Strong guards must be kept in captivity."

Murong Yanran also nodded, and said, "For example, the caravan of my Fourth Uncle Wang is said to be the top three in Tuyuhun. Although he is only a prince, there are 8000 guards in his caravan."

He paused for a while, and then said: "In addition to my Uncle Fourth King, there are other caravans coming with us this time. Although their power is not that big, every caravan is at least There are tens of hundreds of guards, if all those guards are organized, it will be an army of nearly ten thousand people..."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet laughed, and said with deep meaning: "The most important thing is that we Tuyuhun people can risk their lives just to make money. The greed that has been cultivated in business for generations has become a disposition that has been carved into the bones. As long as we can make money, what Dare to do anything. So, this trip to Youzhou should be a trip for Tuyuhun people to make a fortune."

While talking, he paused slightly, and then said slowly: "Don't look at so many alliances of small countries in the Western Regions fighting together, but the achievements they have built together are not as good as ours. The reason is very simple. Tuyuhun people don't want to die for money. As long as Gu Tianya is willing to give For money, any Tuyuhun would dare to attack Liaodong."

Murong Yanran grinned, and said, "If he gave enough money, the guards would even dare to go straight to the capital of Goguryeo. As long as they can make money, so what if they don't have their heads on their waistbands? It's about exchanging your life for money. We Tuyuhun people are the best at it.”

The camel prophet nodded slowly, looked up at the roof with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "You can lose your life, but you have to earn money..."

Greed, this should have been criticized by others.

However, the people of Tuyuhun don't think so, but feel that it is an excellent quality.

Don't be greedy!

Not suitable for businessmen.

The Tuo Tuo Prophet suddenly took a look at Murong Yanran, and said with obvious emotion: "Since we have decided to buy land and build houses in Youzhou, we will inevitably spend a huge amount of money. So taking advantage of Gu Tianya's opportunity to plan for Liaodong, we We have to recover some capital from this.”

Murong Yanran smiled brightly, and nodded again and again: "Twenty thousand troops, all of them are sent out. Anyway, everyone is acting as a bandit. It doesn't matter how hard they go to Liaodong to kill them. Afterwards, if they push two or six five, how dare the Goguryeo people dare to cross the Uygur? It won't work if the cloud hits our homeland..."

Prophet Tuo Tuo was very pleased, and praised: "Girl, you are becoming more and more like a qualified Tuyuhun person."

He paused slightly while talking, and then suddenly said: "However, there is no rush to start. Tonight's business is to bid for the land. Only when we win a piece of land in Youzhou New City can we build a workshop in the city that belongs to the Tuyuhun people. At that time, we didn’t sell a single house, and left all of them to the merchants in Tuyuhun to live in.”

Murong Yanran was startled immediately, and subconsciously said: "That is a whole workshop, with more than 5000 courtyard houses planned. After it is completed, at least 2 households will be able to live in it, and each household will require 10 people even if there are five people..."

The Prophet Tuo Tuo smiled lightly and said: "Girl, you still haven't understood that Youzhou will be the center of the world in the future. We Tuyuhun people have been merchants for generations, the more people living here, the better."
