Chapter 165 Tubo is also restless

Many people around felt that what Prime Minister Midu said was too pessimistic. That was because they were unable to analyze the problem from an overall perspective. The news that Prime Minister Midu knew was also unknown to them. Now, except for the army in Liangzhou City, according to them After receiving reliable information, Datang once again sent 20,000 soldiers to support.

On the other hand, many tribes have been wiped out in Tuyuhun. Even the Ronggong tribe has suffered such heavy losses. Even if the Khan wants to gather an army, he may not be able to gather many people now. We can only humiliate and seek peace. There is no other way, unless the Khan disregards the life and death of the people in Tuyuhun and desperately gathers an army, then he is gambling on the fate of the country. If he loses, Tuyuhun will cease to exist.

While the others were refuting Prime Minister Midu, Narut didn't say a word. He was thinking about the current situation. If the fight continued, he would really have no troops to send.

Whenever a war comes, he always mobilizes the Ronggong tribe and the Midu tribe to send troops. The two tribes send troops in equal numbers. But if he only mobilizes the troops of the Midu tribe now, I believe the Midu tribe will not send troops either. That was tantamount to being cannon fodder on the battlefield. Once it got to that point, he had to mobilize the soldiers of the Wangting tribe, which was the last strength in his hands.

After discussing for a whole day, no solution was reached in the end. In the evening, Nalut hosted a banquet for Prime Minister Midu.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Prime Minister Midu didn't feel very comfortable after eating. He knew that Khan had something to say.

"In your opinion, what kind of demands will they make?"

Everyone in the tent had been evacuated. Except for the two personal maids, there was no one here. Nalut became less reserved.

"If we go back to the Great Khan, our people will definitely not be allowed to graze within two hundred miles outside Liangzhou City. They will also build a new city on the southwest side of Liangzhou City and let us open the trade route. In addition, they will go to Chang'an The city apologizes. Although the Khan does not need to go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Prime Minister Midu's estimation is already very close. He has been dealing with the Tang army, so he also knows what the Tang army wants. Although these conditions are fatal for Tuyuhun, after agreeing to these conditions, at least we can still Save it. If we don't agree, then we will wait to be displaced. Datang is determined this time.

"Everyone else can agree, but the impact of building the new city on Tuyuhun is too great. In the future, they can use the new city as the center and spread to the surrounding areas, which will pose a great threat to our rule, which is equivalent to It was a sharp knife inserted into Tuyuhun's chest and abdomen."

Narut is also an outstanding ruler. Although he is unwilling to agree to other conditions, in order to preserve the country of Tuyuhun, those conditions are inevitable, but the construction of a new city is the only one that he cannot agree to. .

"Great Khan, there is a saying among the Han people, people are made for swords and meat, and I am fish and meat. This is the situation now. The sword is no longer in our hands. If we continue to resist, the conditions we will face in the future will be even more harsh. Wei Chen does I made an estimate. If a decisive battle were to take place now, our army would have to deploy at least nearly 200,000 cavalry. Even if we were victorious, we would still lose nearly 200,000 young men. Is such a victory useful?"

Prime Minister Midu said earnestly that there are only one million young people in Tuyuhun across the country. If two hundred thousand men are lost, then the country will have no hope.

"What's more, Tubo in the south will also take advantage of the situation. According to the news received by Wei Chen, Tibetan reconnaissance troops have appeared near the southern border."

While Prime Minister Midu was speaking, he took out a secret report from his hand. The Midu tribe lived in the south, so they knew the situation in the south relatively well.

"These damn Tibetans."

Narut gritted his teeth and cursed. What he was most afraid of was this situation. Tuyuhun had always been trying to survive in the cracks. Whether it was the Tang Dynasty in the north or Tubo in the south, the overall national strength was much stronger than that of Tuyuhun. Although Tuyuhun continued to provoke the two major powers, the two major powers had various reasons and both needed a natural barrier like Tuyuhun.

So their life is pretty good, but if there is a big country that is determined to destroy them, Tuyuhun really can't resist it. Just like in this form, every time he persists for one more day, Tuyuhun will have to face heavy losses.

"I understand. You go and be responsible for the negotiations. Try to fight for Tuyuhun's living space. In addition, you have to take them two back."

When Nalut said this, Prime Minister Midu was dumbfounded. If he wanted to take back one person, he knew that it would be the former prince Zaterk. But now he wants to take back two people. Could it be a legend? Is it true? In the past few days, there has been a rumor throughout Tuyuhun that the eldest princess was captured by the Tang army.

"Great Khan, are you the eldest princess?"

Prime Minister Midu said with some disbelief.

Others don't know much about Tuyuhun Khan, but Prime Minister Midu has been with him for a lifetime, so he naturally knows the importance of these children to him. They are all children from his original wife, and they are also his favorite children.

"It should have been in the hands of the Tang Army. In addition, the two thousand-man troops were also wiped out while searching. My people have discovered them and buried them all."

Tuyuhun sweated profusely and drank up the wine in the bowl. This was good wine shipped from Chang'an. The spicy taste of the liquor made him sober instantly.

"Then we have to make bigger concessions."

Prime Minister Midu also drank a drink with him, but the words he said made people uncomfortable. Tuyuhun Khan also understood that up to now, this could not be made up for by relying on negotiation skills. The Tang army had already achieved so much With such a big victory, it would be impossible to calm them down.

"Go and inform our people in Datang and ask them to cause trouble at all costs."

Tuyuhun Khan said desperately that they had sent a lot of troops to the territory of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. If they are not needed now, then what are they doing to support them?

Prime Minister Midu also nodded. At this moment, in order to keep Tuyuhun, any method must be used...
