Datang: I was tricked by the system

Hearing this, Le Ling paused, "Khan, please tell me."

"The first condition is that the king needs two-thirds of the jewels in the king's city."

"The second condition is that you marry me."

"The third condition is to give me one-third of the territory of Tuyuhun, and also add the two places of Shibao City and Dafeichuan."

"These three conditions are indispensable, the princess can think about it slowly." There is no such thing as nothing in the world, and if he wants to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, he must have enough bargaining chips.

Besides, Fu Yun is defeated now, like a bereaved dog, when will he wait if he doesn't take advantage of the fire and rob him?

Songtsan Gampo didn't just want this one-third of the territory, and he didn't just want Shibao City and Dafeichuan. If possible, what he wanted was the entire Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun's geographical location is superior, and it is the main road connecting the Western Regions. If it occupies the territory of Tuyuhun, then Tubo will have the ability to compete with the Tang Dynasty for the Western Regions and Longyou regions, and can further control the Silk Road, so as to benefit from it. Get a lot of benefits.

In addition, it will be much more convenient for them to attack Datang, and even if they are properly prepared, they can win the Western Regions in one fell swoop and completely grasp the "Silk Road."

In this way, they can sell the silk from the Central Plains to the Western countries, and then resell the items from the Western countries to the Central Plains. They can get huge wealth from it, and it is only a matter of time before they want to accumulate a mountain of gold and silver.

Tuyuhun is a living example. Over the years, they have robbed gold, silver and treasures from the people of Tang.

With money, you can recruit soldiers and buy horses, and the strength of Tubo will also skyrocket, so you can gallop as much as you want, reach the sky in one step, and become an unrivaled super dynasty.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Another reason is that the terrain constraints of the plateau made it difficult for Tubo to expand, and the existence of Tuyuhun completely blocked their way of expansion. Therefore, for the benefit of the Tubo Empire, Tuyuhun had to disappear.

Songtsan Gampo is a man with great ambitions, and he has been eyeing Tuyuhun for a long time, but now that the foundation of the dynasty is not stable, he is not in a hurry to attack Tuyuhun.

Now that the other party has come to your door, even if you can't swallow it in one gulp, you can still get some benefits from it first.

As for the rest, after driving away the Tang army, he slowly nibbled at it. After this battle, Tuyuhun's vitality was seriously injured. For Songtsan Gampo, it was no longer a hard nut to crack.

There was a look of shock on Le Ling's face. Even though she was prepared in her heart, she was still startled by Songtsan Gampo's lion's big mouth.

Two-thirds of the treasures of Wangcheng, and one-third of the territory of Tuyuhun, in addition, he even came up with the idea of ​​Shibaocheng and Dafeichuan, which is really greedy.

Dafeichuan has a warm climate and rich water and grass. It is an excellent natural pasture. Tuyuhun's cattle, sheep and horses are all produced here.

Shibao City is even more important. To the east of it is Longxi County, where "no rich man in the world can leave Longyou", and it is the economic center of Tuyuhun.

Both horses, cattle, sheep and the economy are extremely important to them, but Songtsan Gampo wants these two places, which really makes Le Ling very angry.

But it was only for a moment, now that Tuyuhun has been destroyed, and she can't protect these things by herself, but knowing it in her heart is one thing, and whether she agrees or not is another.

If she agrees easily, I'm afraid it will arouse Songtsan Gampo's suspicion.

So Le Ling refused without even thinking about it, "Forgive me Khan, Le Ling cannot agree to your terms."

"Then you should think about it carefully, I will give you a day." Songtsan Gampo made up his mind to take advantage of the fire, and naturally he would not easily change the conditions just because the other party refused.

After speaking, let someone take Le Ling down to rest.

He also needs to send someone to investigate the situation of Tuyuhun in detail.

Even if the princess of Tuyuhun refuses to agree, he still has to arrange for someone to seize the opportunity to snatch these two places.

……

Here, after checking the map, Li Yi also paid attention to Dafeichuan and Shibao City.

Not only that, but what he saw was much more than what was shown now.

In the main hall, Xue Rengui, Shan Xian and several other lieutenants stood on both sides, watching Li Yi explain to them on the sand table. "Dafeichuan and Shibao City are two very important economic zones. We must keep these two places in our hands."

"Look here." Li Yi pointed to the location of Dafeichuan, then pointed to Tubo, and said, "Tubo is not far from here. If they want to expand, their primary target is Tuyuhun. This Dafeichuan The land is rich in water and grass, and it is a natural pasture. If Tubo gets this place, its economic strength will definitely increase, and then it will become our strong enemy."

Not to mention, Tubo's tentacles moved forward and could even threaten the Hexi Corridor.

"And here." Li Yi pointed to the location of Shibao City. "To the east is Longxi County, which supports the Northwest. If this place falls into the hands of Tubo, then the Silk Road will also be destroyed." It is also extremely detrimental to us that Tubo is in control."

After some simple analysis, Xue Rengui and Shan Xian also became nervous and then became afraid. They had just finished fighting Tuyuhun, and their internal problems had not been dealt with properly, so naturally they had no time to take care of these areas.

If Tubo seized these two places now, by the time they come to their senses, it may be too late.

Thanks to Emperor Yi, they found out in time.

"It's not too late, I'm going to grab these two places and send troops to garrison them."

Li Yi nodded, "Shan Xian, Xue Li, the two of you should divide into two groups, and the speed must be quick."

"According to the order."

After the two left, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he occupied these two places in advance, it also hindered the development of Tubo to a certain extent.

There is bound to be a war between Youtang and Tubo, it's just a matter of time.

"Your Majesty is worried about the matter of Tuyuhun?" Lu Ziyu came, seeing Li Yi's frowning and puzzled, she walked behind him and helped him rub his shoulders.

Li Yi shook his head, "Tuyuhun has nothing to worry about, as long as the nobles are killed, the other common people are not difficult to manage."

"Then what is His Majesty worried about?"

"Since ancient times, one general has been successful and his bones have been exhausted. I know that there will be a war with Tubo sooner or later, but I can't decide whether to take the initiative to send troops now, or passively wait until the day when the war comes, and then deal with it."

Active warfare is always somewhat against humanitarianism, and Li Yi does not want soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Lu Ziyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has always been wise, why are you confused about this issue?"
