Datang Library

A group of passers-by chatted one after another while queuing up. Feng Zhidai, who was passing by, found this idea ridiculous. Do you think it is so free to go to Datang?Do you really think you are on vacation?Hmph, I think with you, the road to Shu can be opened three years earlier.

Su Wo said worriedly: "Xiangguo, the young and strong have all gone to the Tang Dynasty to work as laborers. Where can we recruit soldiers locally? If we don't have enough force to defend, we may be in danger under the eyes of the Western Japanese tigers!"

Feng Zhidai laughed and said: "Prince, don't worry, the labor issue will definitely attract a large number of people from the west, and the capacity of the big ship is limited, so it is impossible to transport many people at one time. We will get richer, and then we will increase the salary of soldiers, are you afraid that we will not be able to recruit soldiers?"

"Well, what Xiangguo said is reasonable, and it all depends on Xiangguo."

Feng Zhidai smiled secretly, and sent a sealed letter to Master again when he went back. It is not a good thing that the Japanese family is dominant, should there be some other policies?

Today's Chapter 1, please support.

Chapter 663 The Western Regions Incident

In Zhongnan Academy, Bai Fan was planning the route to Sichuan with Li Chun and other people. A disciple came to report an urgent matter.

"Mr. Li, we can continue the discussion when we come back next time. You can't rush to do it." Bai Fan told Li Chun.

"I got it, I got it, I'm not as strong as you as a doll? Go, go!" Li Chun waved his hand impatiently, his eyes kept looking at the map of the Qinling Mountains that Bai Fan took out, and he was really puzzled. Waiting for the graphics, how did the dean take them out?Obviously looking at it from the bird's perspective, could it be that the bird can draw a map?

In the principal's small courtyard, Bai Fan had just entered the room when he found someone pacing back and forth in the room. It was none other than his old father-in-law, Li Jiancheng.

"Oh? Father-in-law? Let you go there yourself. So, something happened to the Japanese laborers?"

Li Jiancheng stepped forward to hold Bai Fan and said, "Hey, it's not the Japanese country, it's something happened in the northwest, and it's related to your kid. I'll let you know first."

"Northwest? What can happen to Northwest? We have even acquired Gaochang, and the Western Turks are still pointing at us to eat. Those small countries dare to make trouble?" Bai Fan asked with a smile.

"The 36 countries in the Western Regions were destroyed by the Western Turks!"

"what???"

Bai Fan exclaimed, what's the matter?When did the Western Turks start?A few days ago, I informed the Northwest that the murderer who asked them to hand over the immortal food was wiped out now?

"Father-in-law? When did this happen? What is the cause? A few days ago, my son-in-law even told them to hand over the murderers who robbed the Yangtze River. Could it be that the Western Turks were greedy for money and killed them all in order to sell them to me?" ?”

Seeing Bai Fan's confident look, Li Jiancheng was instantly amused by him. Do you think Western Turks are really your thugs?

"You boy, I don't know where you got such a big heart.

According to our original expectation, there is no problem, but something happened when you proposed to bring back the murderer. There is a country in the Western Regions called Yanqi, and some people from the underworld of the Tang Dynasty hid in it.

But when these people went to seek refuge, they brought their treasures with them. Do you know what kind of treasures they are? "

"What? Martial arts secret book? How many people should Yanqi have? If there is a secret book, no one will practice it." Bai Fan was puzzled.

"The Wool Loom!"

...Father-in-law, what did you say? ?

Bai Fan's brain was a little overwhelmed, "Sheep, wool, weaving, and machine? Father-in-law, are you right?"

"You boy, when is it, is the old man still in the mood to joke?"

"Aside from me, only Li Daozong in Shuofang has finished products. Where did those people come from? Could it be that something happened to Li Daozong?" Bai Fan exclaimed.

Nodding his head helplessly, Li Jiancheng sighed: "We only know now that the incident happened. Facing a group of underworld masters, the court army does not seem to be airtight. Moreover, this matter may also be related to the remnants of the Li family in Longxi. So the situation is complicated.

In short, Shuofang's wool craftsmanship has been completely leaked out. Li Daozong and Duan Zhixuan asked themselves to admit their punishment and were already on their way back to Chang'an. "

Bai Fan sorted out his thoughts, "Yanqi was wiped out by the Western Turks because of his crimes? It doesn't make sense, there is our Gaochang in the middle, and the Western Turks dare to provoke us?"

"Hehe, how much do you think Western Turks are afraid of us?

Gaochang?The old man said that the 36 countries in the Western Regions were all captured by the Western Turks, even our Gaochang was no exception. "

"Dare they?"

Bai Fan came up against the case. In the past, three thousand Xuanjia dared to invade the Western Turks. Now, within a few years, the Western Turks dare to directly occupy the land of the Tang Dynasty?

"Whether they dare or not, they have already done it. The old man came to you because someone wanted to attack you, saying that you have funded the rise of Western Turks for many years, and that you alone created a strong enemy for Datang, so you have to be careful gone."

"Hmph, His Majesty has to believe this nonsense!

No, the father-in-law can come in person, so His Majesty's opinion is not clear? "

In a flash of inspiration, Bai Fan discovered the true meaning of Li Jiancheng's visit.

Li Jiancheng groaned and remained silent. After all, his younger brother was a generation of emperors, and his heart was unpredictable.

"Hehe, it's okay, father-in-law doesn't have to make things difficult, little Xi Turk, they are playing with fire, my son-in-law has plenty of ways to deal with them."

Seeing Bai Fan's confident look, Li Jiancheng didn't say a word, the court is your battlefield, and you should pay attention to the emperor, not the barbarians.

But he is not Bai Fan after all, he is in a different position, and his mentality is naturally different. For the emperor, Bai Fan has never had any awe.

At this time, the land in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty was originally the royal city of Gaochang, but now the banner at the top of the city has been changed to Western Turkic.

Western Turkic Mo Hedu's face was cloudy and uncertain, so far I think it's unbelievable that I have maintained a good relationship with Datang for five years, and suddenly made a move, and within a month, they actually parted ways. I don't know whether it is right or wrong.

"King Zuo Xian, what's going on with the Tang side? How's the border defense going?" Mo He Du Khan said in a deep voice.

"Big Khan, the Tang side has already shrunk its troops and defended heavily at Yumen Pass. Only a few scouts were left here in Gaochang, and even the previous border security checks have been withdrawn.

We have already stationed soldiers on the border between Turkic and Tang Dynasty, and here in Gaochang, you will be in charge personally, so there is nothing wrong with it.

After five years of development, our army is strong and strong, and we can easily gather 20 troops. Now our subordinates have felt the strength of East Turkic Jieli back then. No, we are stronger than Jieli. not afraid. "

Mo Hedu shook his head and said: "You don't know, Tang Lantian Hou once said that a strong country does not lie in the size of its territory, but in its overall strength. We originally wanted to sell the 36 countries in the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty for money and food. , but because of a wool loom, we fell out with Datang.

From then on, our wool trade can get rid of Datang, but do you know that my food supply will also be cut off, without Datang's food source, do we all eat mutton every day?

In the long run, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive without Datang's counterattack. "

That Zuo Xianwang was obviously not an ignorant person, he began to comfort him and said: "Don't worry about sweating, didn't we discuss it before making the plan?

There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty: How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

Although we Western Turks have always had good trade relations with them, the Huihe people in the north are right. Once the Great Tang destroys the surrounding countries and only us Great Turks are left, they will definitely attack us.

So we have to take action to protect ourselves as soon as possible, and this wool loom is an opportunity.

Besides, now that we have wool looms, we have a steady stream of woolen cloth and clothing. We have blocked the way to do business in the Western Regions, and we will open up business routes to the West in the future, so we don’t have to worry about making money.

As for food, we should be able to survive with the help of a group of people from the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the countries in the Western Regions. After all, East Turkic Xieli had a good life without growing food.

As long as we survive Datang's counterattack, life will only be better than it is now, and it will not be worse than it is now. "

Mo He Tuo Khan sighed, that's all he could do, he just hoped that the person from Tang Dynasty wasn't the king of Chu.
