Chapter 16 Transaction

By chance, Xue Chongxun was really beyond his expectations for being able to contact several senior executives in Tuyuhun.

He had already talked with the Khan King, and now he has arrived opposite the powerful minister Fu Lu. According to Xue Chongxun's speculation, he is probably the real person in power in Tuyuhun.

Just like the Tang court at this time, is it useful to tell Brother Fen Li Shouli?You have to find Princess Taiping.

Xue Chongxun was watched by several Tuyuhun warriors and could not move, so he looked at Tuyuhun's great star in front of him.

I saw that Fu Lu looked really nothing to do with handsomeness. His head was already bald, and his hair on both sides was combed into small braids, which made him even more ugly. He had a rough black face and a beard, and his eyes were as big as a mouse-eyed eyebrow. His figure was also very bloated, full of flesh and looked dirty all over. I wonder why he, a powerful man, was so unpretentious.

Xue Chongxun said a little narcissistically: I am wearing rags now, and I am afraid it is cleaner and more refreshing than you.

Such a man is completely out of grade by putting aside his power position. Xue Chongxun really doesn't believe that Murong Yan, a beautiful woman sitting next to him holding a Persian cat, would like him. It is definitely a political reason!

Otherwise, as the Murong royal family, she must have a background and looks, and it would be too untasteful to choose such a man...

What made Xue Chongxun speechless was that she actually acted so loyal to Fu Lu.

Xue Chongxun was thinking about their relationship, but he did not look at Murong Yan in front of Fu Lu. After all, under the roof, this ugly monster now holds his own life and death.

Fu Lu asked in extremely unsmooth Chinese: Why can you, a prince, be taken by dozens of riders outside Dahua City?

Xue Chongxun said cautiously: I was going to the government for help, but I didn’t expect to encounter an enemy... The great master clearly pointed out that my enemies are not all outside.I had already escaped, but the little princess (Dong'er) had saved me once. I didn't want to implicate her, so I had to take the risk to take her away, which alarmed the government and urgently needed a quick horse, so it fell into your hands.

Xue Chongxun deliberately said that he was affectionate and righteous, mainly because he hoped that Murong Yan would provide some help for her sister's sake.

Fu Lu pointed at the bald head and said: So that's it. Mrs. Rufei was careful. I really didn't expect to catch the big fish, haha... After saying that, he turned around and looked at Murong Yan with satisfaction.

Murong Yan gently stroked the smooth fur of the black cat in her arms and said lazily: This man killed the Tubo noble Lang family. The Tubo people used tens of thousands of troops to capture him. The last attack on Tu'erling was the matter that the Tubo noble envoy personally informed.This time he fell into our hands and handed him over to the Tubo people is a credit.

Fu Lu was very happy after hearing this. His eyes looked at Xue Chongxun like he was looking at a big fish, or a pile of gold.

When Xue Chongxun heard Murong Yan say this, he was speechless and couldn't help looking at her angrily. This was when Murong Yan blinked her eyes lightly, as if she was giving a wink.

Seeing this, he thought: If Fu Lu heard his wife plead for outsiders, he would be unhappy. Does she say this by retreating to advance?

Sure enough, Murong Yan said in a casual tone again: But the Tubo people have always been stingy, but they don’t know what kind of cold reward they can give their husband this time.

Sure enough, Fu Lu was agitated and was also very dissatisfied: The Tubo people were indeed too much. They asked us for money every year, and we had to send troops. With the benefits, they ate meat and drank soup. Alas!

At this time, Xue Chongxun said in great cooperation: If the great prime minister let me go, the benefits I get will definitely be more than ten times more than those of Tubo.

Fu Lu shook his head and said: No, this is not business.

Murong Yan said: We don’t like a little money.However...Whoever thinks who wins and loses this time between Tubo and Tang Dynasty?

Fu Lu's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at Xue Chongxun, pondered for a long time, and said: The Tang people could not reach the hinterland of Tubo, and the road there was too difficult to walk.

Murong Yan said: In the end, I will fight in Qinghai. They are two wolves, and we are sheep.What if the Tubo people are unfavorable in the battle and flee back to Lusai City by themselves, what should we do in Qinghai?

Fu Lu showed a helpless expression: In the past, we recognized Taizong Khan (Taizong of Tang) as the Khan of Heaven, but the Tang Dynasty was defeated in several wars, so we had no choice but to surrender to Tubo.If the situation reverses...

Xue Chongxun understood that this guy is just a fence-skinned man, whoever is stronger than him.

At this time, Murong Yan sighed and said: The Tuyuhun tribe, which was attached to the Tang territory before, is still in Liangzhou. Will the Tang people let them ride on our heads?

After pausing for a while, Murong Yan grabbed Fu Lu's arm and shook it gently, and said in a sweet voice: Husband, he saved his sister, so let him go.

Fu Lu frowned and said: This will offend the Tubo people!

After Murong Yan acted coquettishly, she became sad again and touched her eyes and said: But Dong'er, who is so angry, lived a life of fear at such a young age. Now she doesn't recognize me when she comes back. I'm the only sister... I don't care!You can't let Dong'er suffer grievance!

Seeing a great beauty acting like a pig, Xue Chongxun could hardly bear it anymore. He was so helpless, even a nobleman.

well!Fu Lu Jin couldn't stand the trick of his beautiful wife and agreed with difficulty, but he couldn't just let him go, and the Tang people had to use money to redeem him.

Murong Yan said coquettishly: You know the money!

Fu Lu raised his chest and said: What a woman’s opinion!I'm not greedy for that little money, but I have an excuse!If this matter is leaked and the Tubo people are inquired about it, I can say that I am greedy for money, and the Tubo people will not worry about our rebellion. Do you understand?

Xue Chongxun was happy and hurriedly said: "Great appearance is wise."I must remember this friendship in my heart. If the mountains and rivers do not turn, maybe we will have a day to deal with.

Fu Lu couldn't wait to stretch out his two fingers: 200,000 guan!You are the son of Princess Taiping. Wouldn’t it be a shame for you to ask for too low prices?

Xue Chongxun thought to himself: I haven’t escaped yet, the more he feels, the more he has.

I just thought about it and thought: The great prime minister, 200,000 ounces are equivalent to the taxes of several states in our Tang Dynasty. I am afraid the court will not agree to it if I spend it alone.

Fu Lu glared and said: You are the son of Princess Taiping!

Xue Chongxun said: My mother has four sons...

Fulu: ...

Xue Chongxun thought to himself that it was just 200,000 yuan, and I could barely get it by selling it.

For the sake of life, what's wrong with anything outside?

But he bargained: One hundred thousand coins is also a big sum.

Fu Lu thought for a while and said: No!You bully me, don’t you know that Chang’an is so rich?It is definitely not difficult to get some people in your family to raise some... 150,000 coins must be exchanged for gold, and the merchants in the Western Regions only recognize gold!If we don’t agree, we will part!

make a deal!Xue Chongxun immediately said, "I will write a handwritten letter and bring another token." You sent envoys to contact the court and talk to him in a close conversation. This matter will definitely be successful."

After hearing this, Fu Lu laughed: The people of the Tang Dynasty are also quite cunning, and I will lose 50,000 yuan... After that, he stood up and patted Xue Chongxun on the shoulder. There is no eternal enemy in the world.

This is a great saying, even a famous saying.

Xue Chongxun smiled, and at this time he swept across Murong Yan behind with casual eyes. He saw Murong Yan's left eye blinking gently, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Xue Chongxun left Fu Lu's tent, he immediately came to paper and ink, wrote a letter, and searched for more reliable tokens on him.

There are three items that are useful, a golden hairpin, a jade pendant, and a purse.

The golden hairpin and the purse were given by Jincheng, and Xue Chongxun has always kept it with him, but these two things are too fond of powder. After all, they have risen to the relationship between countries.

After a little weighing, he chose the jade.

The things were sent to Chang'an through the Tuyuhun envoy.

The Tang Dynasty was very tolerant in diplomacy. Even the belligerent countries had envoys in Chang'an, which was equivalent to the embassy in later generations, and they lived in Chang'an for a long time.

Some countries sent princes to live in Chang'an, which was like a proton, but they had no worries, because the Tang court never made things difficult for those people because of war. There was a Turkic prince who lived in the Tang Dynasty for decades, and the war between the Tang army and the Turks never stopped.

Princess Taiping was very surprised when she learned about it, and the enemy country actually only had money...

The Tang Dynasty lacked everything, but it was not short of money.

Although after Emperor Taizong, the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty were on the decline, foreign wars were often defeated, and internal land annexation was full of all kinds of problems, the social economy was developing rapidly. If the GDP could be calculated, it was estimated that it would have increased exponentially from the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and land annexation was actually a product of economic development.

Taiping waved his hand and was a drop in the bucket.

She issued a secret decree to Prime Minister Zhang, who was still in Longyou, who said that he was fully responsible for this matter and that Xue Chongxun must be brought back.

Through a series of procedures from the Foreign Dynasty, Zhang Shuo was authorized to temporarily regulate the military power of more than 30,000 troops in Longyou Prefectures. The obvious reason was to deal with the harassment of the Tuyuhun people.

Zhang Shuo did not dare to neglect it, and regarded this matter more important than the war with Tubo. He immediately mobilized 12,000 mobile troops from several states near Langzhou and drove into Langzhou in a mighty manner.

At this time, the Tuyuhun people were plundering in Langzhou, and Dahua, Michuan, Huangsha and other places all fell. Langzhou Prefecture was defending the fortifications and terrain to wait for assistance.

The provincial government officials did not expect the reinforcements to come so quickly, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen came to help.

Ten thousand to one hundred thousand, the helpless Tang army often faces such things.

Zhang Shuo led more than 10,000 Iron Cavalry and 100,000 Tuyuhun people to confront each other south of Langzhou.

But they did not start a war and were ready to finish the transaction with one hand and the other...
