Chapter 263 Kunlun White Jade
"Refer to the general, the subordinates have something to report!!" A personal guard shouted outside the tent.

"Come in!
What's the matter! "Situ Changfeng greeted the guards to enter the tent, and asked curiously, at this time, it was almost dark, and he didn't bring scouts in, so he didn't know what was going on.

"Return to the general, the Turkic envoy came to ask for an audience!" The guard replied respectfully.

"Please!" Situ Changfeng said calmly with the corner of his mouth raised.

After a while, a short and stocky Turk entered the tent. While Situ Changfeng was crowding him, he was also looking at Situ Changfeng. He obviously did not expect that the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty was so young.

Some time ago, he was squeezed out by Si Yehu and feigned an attack at the east gate, so the two never met face to face.

"Little Turkic Khan, Ashina has seen the general of Shangguo." Ashina put his attitude very low, surprised and gave a very formal Confucian salute to Situ Changfeng.

"It turned out to be the little khan of the Ashina family. My official, Izhou Governor, Situ Changfeng, is very polite!" The name Ashina Nishi seemed to reflect something, and Situ Changfeng didn't think much about it, and got up to return the greeting.

"The sheriff's name is as loud as thunder, seeing him today is really young and promising!" Ashina said sincerely.

"Hehe! Thank you, little Khan, please sit down. I don't know what the little Khan has come from afar!" Situ Changfeng naturally wouldn't listen to the words of this kind-looking enemy, and didn't bother to figure out the other party's intentions. asked directly.

"The sheriff is really quick to talk, the officer is ordered by the Khan, come here to ask for peace!" Ashina Niu flashed a trace of fatigue, stood up and said respectfully.

"Haha! How dare you do this? The nobles are an army of millions. We are just scratching the surface and can't hurt you at all!" Situ Changfeng thought to himself. Sure enough, he was right.

"If the county guard is willing to cease the war, the lower officials promise on behalf of the Western Turks that they will never invade the Tang Dynasty in the future, and will present a big news." Ashina said seriously.

"Are you serious?" Situ Changfeng asked seriously.

"We are sincere. If the sheriff is not satisfied, you can talk about the conditions and we will negotiate." Ashina nodded vigorously.

"Well, I will add two conditions. If you agree, then Yizhou will never take the initiative to go to war with Western Turks in the future." Situ Changfeng nodded and said.

"Tell me! In general matters, lower officials can still make decisions." Ashina stood up happily and replied. He didn't expect Situ Changfeng to make the decision. He originally wanted to agree, and if he disagreed, he would delay for a while. , so as to retreat the herdsmen, after all, the previous battle had suffered heavy losses, and continuing to fight would probably wear down most of the tribes.

"The First Turks must not hinder the Tang Dynasty's trade in the Western Regions in the future! In return, the grasslands west of the Gobi will still be yours for grazing." Situ Changfeng raised his finger.

"Naturally, I promise to do this." Ashina immediately nodded in agreement.

"The second officer wants a small city!" Situ Changfeng stretched out another finger and said.

"Small town? Which one?" Ashina asked hesitantly.

"The capital of Khotan is Xicheng! The Tang Dynasty needs a stronghold in the Western Region to facilitate trade!" Situ Changfeng said lightly.

"This... To be honest, Duxi is a very important city for us, and it generates a lot of income every year!" Ashina said hesitantly.

"Little Khan, you don't have to lie to me. Duxi City may have been an important city for you before, but since the Han Dynasty, a large number of jades have been searched for. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, there were very few jades. Only occasionally can you find a piece.

Of course, it's not for nothing. A certain opened the mutual market in Yizhou, bought a lot of your wool, and sold you salt tea at the same time!And woolen clothes! " Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"Wool clothes?" Ashina asked in bewilderment.

"Come as a friend, this set of clothes is given to you, little Khan!" Situ Changfeng said as he took out a set of spare clothes from his tent and handed it over.

"Is this made of wool?" Ashina asked in surprise, touching his clothes.

"Of course, it's just very troublesome to make, and some other things need to be added, so the cost is relatively high, but the heat preservation effect is very good. Wearing a whole set, you can completely spend the night in the snow." Situ Changfeng said nonsense.

Of course Ashina knew that it was impossible to spend the night in the snow, but the effect of keeping warm really moved him.

Moreover, what Situ Changfeng said was true. It was already difficult to find a piece of jade in Duxicheng.

Although the small country with more than 1 people has always been very obedient, jade and gems are not as important as materials to Turks.

"Okay! I agree. I hope the sheriff will keep his promise!" Ashina was a very decisive person. After thinking for a moment, he immediately agreed.

"Of course! A certain family is worth a thousand dollars!
Come on!Order to withdraw troops! "Situ Changfeng got up and said.

"Refreshing! Capital West City now belongs to Datang, including [-] people! There will be no complaints from Khotan!" Ashina Niyu was very satisfied, and immediately promised generously.

"Okay! Little Khan is refreshing. In the future, your tribe's trading share will increase by [-]%, and the price will be [-]% lower!" Situ Changfeng said with the same satisfaction.

"It's a deal!" Ashina raised a palm and said!

"It's a deal!" Situ Changfeng also raised his right hand and hit Ashina's palm, and the two of them clapped their hands together as an oath.

"Boy Situ. We worked so hard just for a small city? You said it was a surprise!" Hong Fu watched Situ Changfeng take over the capital city with dissatisfaction.

"Hehe! I will take you, seniors, to see the surprise tomorrow!" Situ Changfeng said with a mysterious smile.

He can be so confident because of the information he got from Vulture Palace. At that time, Khotan Kingdom was just a subsidiary of Vulture Palace.

According to records, Khotan was rich in jade and precious stones, but during the Han Dynasty, thick burials were popular, so a large number of offerings were requested from Khotan, so that it was difficult to find them in the Sui Dynasty.

Later, during the Song Dynasty, when the river in Khotan changed its course, people discovered that there were actually a lot of jade at the bottom of the river.

Originally, the Kingdom of Khotan thought that jade was a gift from heaven, so it appeared in the river. Later, after exploring the Vulture Palace, it was discovered that the upstream was actually a mine, and the ore in the river was washed down from the upstream.

Because the Song Dynasty was compressed by powerful enemies and its territory was small, it had to try its best to develop itself. It was during this period that salt tea developed rapidly.

Vulture Palace medical astrology divination, agriculture, commerce and military, all books are available, and there are special people who write, supplement, and record.

Situ Changfeng had spent a lot of time watching, especially in the area close to the Western Region, so he paid special attention to this aspect.

From the beginning, he had planned this place. Jade was not the most important thing to the Turks, but the Central Plains nobles liked the white jade from the Kunlun Mountains the most.
