Not long after Li Ye nodded, someone went to inform the Turkic envoys.
In the meantime, some ministers reported some other news.
The strategy of Liangzhou had been finalized.
Among the three cities that they had taken down this time, Liangzhou was the most important and large.
As for the other two cities, Pill Pond and Sky High were located to the northwest and southwest of Mo Lan City respectively.
In comparison, because they had previously belonged to Tubo, these two cities did not have any direction of development and were only used as ordinary border cities.
But now, since it had already belonged to Xi Liang, Li Ye naturally could not leave it behind.
The 10,000 soldiers were divided into two groups, each stationed in the two new cities.
It was the same policy, but the two cities were obviously located in more remote areas, and the population was not very large.
However, Li Ye did not care. From the map given by the system in his mind, these two places were not ordinary.
"Your Majesty, Dan Tang has a population of 5,000, mostly Hu merchants and Tubo people. Currently, under Your Majesty's strict orders to slaughter the civilians, there are also people returning, but not many.”
"Moreover, Pill Pond wasn't valued by Tubo before, and there were very few soldiers. Because there was Tuyuhun in the north, the city was dilapidated and many people fled many years ago.”
Below, the newly appointed Pill Pond City Lord Zhou Mu said.
Two days ago, he went to the Pill Pond to count the numbers. Zhou Mu's heart turned cold.
Compared to Mo Lan City, what kind of place was that?
There was nothing they wanted. Some people were so poor that they could only eat tree bark. It was simply not a place where humans could live!
"I know, City Lord Zhou. You'll be in charge of a lot of things in the future. How many people do you need?”
"The Pill Pond isn't very high. There are high mountains on the east and west sides, and a lake on the north side. There are many wastelands nearby. The next priority is to reclaim the wastelands and plant food so that the people can eat their fill.”
"Other than that, that lake is a treasure. Send people to strengthen the guard first and build fortifications around it.”
Li Ye said without hesitation.
There was a lake at the location of the Elixir Pond. Li Ye had known this for a long time.
It was not the famous Qinghai Lake, but the Chaerhan Salt Lake, which was famous for its salt production!
Further west from Dantang was the famous Chaidamu Basin.
"My King, building fortifications around the lake, this…"
Zhou Mu was stunned when he heard that. He said with some difficulty," The lake is vast. If we surround it all, the amount of work…"
"Who told you to surround the lake? The other side of the lake is still in Tuyuhun. We just need to pay attention to our side. We'll consider the things in Tuyuhun in the future.”
Li Ye rolled his eyes and said somewhat speechlessly.
Perhaps it was his misconception. These guys had followed him for so many years, and each of them seemed to have become arrogant?
At this moment, the guard outside the hall shouted,"Your Majesty, the Turkic messenger is here!"”
Three Turkic men wearing felt hats walked into the hall.
"Tuli Khan, sit down. Wu Ri Lun joins the Western Liang King!”
The person in the middle took a step forward and bowed to Li Ye with a unique grassland wind.
In the hall, the officials were also sizing up the envoy from the grasslands.
"No need for formalities. Why did Tuli Khagan send you here?”Li Ye nodded slightly and asked.
Hearing this, Wu Rilun was slightly startled.
This was the first time he had come into contact with the Western Liang King. It could be said that the Turks had almost never had any dealings with Western Liang.
On the contrary, there were many small grudges between them, and wars had always broken out in the border areas.
The countries of the Western Regions were constantly entangled with each other. Tuyuhun had dealings with the Turks and Tubo, and they were all very close.
Ever since Li Ye became king, Xi Liang had never had any dealings with other forces other than the Three Kingdoms.
Wu Rilun didn't know what to say when he saw Li Ye getting straight to the point.
"What? Is the warrior under Tuli, the famous second strongest warrior of the Western Turks, hiding something?”
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Ye smiled and said casually.
Immediately, Xiang Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at Wu Sunlun.
The second strongest warrior of the Western Turks?
It looks like it's just that!
"Xi Liang King must be joking. Wu Rilun doesn't deserve such praise.”
"I came here this time because my tribe suffered a blizzard and specially asked the Western Liang King for help.”
"Previously, some unpleasant things happened between my tribe and the Western Liang King. The Khagan sent me here this time to eliminate the misunderstanding between my tribe and the Western Liang Kingdom. I hope that the Western Liang King can help us.”
Being stared at by Li Ye, Wu Rilun felt that he had been seen through, so he simply told the truth.
Indeed, as he said, the snowstorm had ravaged the entire grassland. Dozens of tribes, big and small, had been affected one after another. They were no longer able to fight against Western Liang.
The Western Turks had also sent messengers to Tuyuhun, but they had little effect.
Everyone was poor, so what could they do to help?
In the end, he did not expect that Xi Liang had just won a battle not long ago. Not only did they annex two cities of Tubo, but they even took down Liangzhou. Tuli's thoughts immediately changed.
He immediately sent an envoy to Western Liang to express his stance.
