Li Yi did not think too much about Chai Shao's 'abnormal' actions.
In any case, the most important thing now was to improve his own strength!
"Persevere in the Heaven Prison!"
"Persevere in practicing the Overlord Spear Technique every day!”
Li Yi did not think too much about it. When he felt that he had rested enough, he immediately threw himself into practicing the Overlord Spear Art.
Another day passed.
The next day, the jailers changed shifts. The jailer who took over soon brought a piece of shocking news.
"There's news from Youzhou today that Great General Chai is going to overturn General Li Yi's border trade policy and sever all ties with the friendly Turkic tribes!”
"Isn't that good?"
"The Turkic bastards killed our Han and plundered our goods. Great General Chai's actions are truly satisfying.”
"Come, let's get drunk today, haha!”
When the jailers heard this news, they all laughed out loud.
At this moment, Li Yi, who was practicing the Overlord Spear Technique with weights, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Looks like that Chai Shao finally could not hold back anymore!
It was just that these jailers were really too humble. They didn't know the terrifying consequences of Chai Shao's abolition of the mutual trade policy. Otherwise, they wouldn't be drinking and celebrating now.
When Li Yi first took over Youzhou, his first policy was to trade with each other.
To use the silk, satin, celadon, and white porcelain of the Great Tang to exchange for Turkic money, horses, and cattle was to use the useless luxury goods produced by the Great Tang to exchange for the strategic resources of the Turkic nobles.
The second was salt, iron, and grain control. This was to strictly control the export of salt, iron, grain, and other materials, or rather, to only sell them to friendly tribes, thus achieving the goal of dividing the Turkic tribes.
The Turks were so powerful that these two policies would not have any visible effect in the short term.
But once the natural disaster struck, the Turks would lose their strategic resources like cattle, sheep, and horses. With a pile of silk and porcelain, they would not be able to survive the winter. At that time, the Great Tang would be able to weaken the Turks with ease.
This was a policy of bloodletting, slowly nurturing the Turks 'extravagance and intensifying the conflicts between their tribes, slowly draining their blood.
Such a big picture, it was very difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.
Unfortunately, no one knew if this Chai Shao was too stupid or underestimated the enemy.
After seven months of silence, this guy had actually destroyed two of Li Yi's most important strategies!
It wasn't hard to imagine that the Turks would unite to attack Youzhou because of border trade!
Even if Chai Shao had the ability to defend Youzhou City, what could he do when the Turks went around Youzhou City and plundered the people in Youzhou?
"This Chai Shao has underestimated the enemy too much. Furthermore, his vision is too shallow. He doesn't even understand the simple logic of a cornered dog jumping over a wall!”
Li Yi shook his head. At this point, he could almost imagine that the Jie and Tuli Khagan, who were already at odds with each other, would definitely gather together. Then, they would gather the other small tribes and attack Youzhou together!
To the Turks, Youzhou was a place where there was almost no danger outside the pass. The Turkic cavalry could come and go as fast as the wind!
Of course, if they only defended the territory within the Great Wall and gave up on the fertile land outside the Great Wall, it would be a different matter. They might be able to hold on for a long time!
But would Chai Shao do that?
Did all the officials in Chang 'an agree?
Even if Chai Shao was willing, Li Er and all the officials in Chang 'an City would drown Chai Shao with their saliva.
Therefore, there was only one ending!
"Youzhou's defeat is already set in stone. If the Turks have a few more capable people who can occupy and build cities in Youzhou and Yunzhou, the Great Tang will forever be harassed by the Turks!”
At this point, Li Yi recalled Shi Jingtang's sacrifice of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to his Khitan father in history. As a result, the Song Dynasty no longer had the power to resist the outside world for two generations!
Of course, the Turks had yet to develop the habit of building passes, and the civil and military officials of the Great Tang were all united. They would never allow the Turks to occupy the Land of Youyan, so what had happened in the late Tang was impossible.
"It's just that Youzhou will once again become a desolate land!”
"However, if Youzhou doesn't suffer, how will I have the chance to succeed in the future?”
Li Yi sighed softly. His slightly pale face was neither sad nor happy. He did not show any emotions.
Next, Li Yi calmed down a little and prepared to continue practicing the Overlord Spear Art.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi inadvertently realized that the check-in system seemed to have a critical hit today!
"What?"
"Today's check-in gave me a special critical hit to obtain the mount of the West Chu Conqueror Xiang Yu, the Dark Stallion Horse?”
When Li Yi turned her attention to the system, she could not help but smile.
"I first obtained the Overlord Spear Technique, and now I have the Dark Stallion Horse. It seems that I have a deep relationship with the Western Chu Overlord, Xiang Yu!”
"However, I still have to sign in for another two years in the Heaven Prison!”
"At that time, I can ride my horse and gallop!”
Li Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly calmed down. Then, he piled all the heavy shackles and buckets on his body!
Continue training!
