Li Ye looked at Wu Rilun with a playful expression and said nothing.
The ministers discussed animatedly, but most of them looked at Wu Rilun with unfriendly expressions.
Although the enmity between the two factions wasn't great, in the ten years that Xi Liang had been developing in a low-key manner, only the Western Turks 'border regions had been the source of trouble.
Now that he had suffered a calamity, he had learned his lesson and knew to come over to ask for peace and help, but why?
"Condition?"
"Why don't you tell me everything that Tuli gave you? I'll see if I'm satisfied.”
"I don't think the Tuli Khagan would be so stingy after all these years of plundering and conquering, right?”
Li Ye lightly knocked on the dragon throne and said indifferently.
Ordinary people wouldn't do something that would take a lot of effort but would not get them anything, let alone the king of a country, Li Ye, who had already become a king.
If they wanted to help, they had to show some sincerity, right?
Cold sweat dripped down Wu Rilun's forehead.
From the beginning until now, he realized that he had no initiative at all. He was completely led by the nose.
Before he came, he had thought that at worst, if they could not get along, it would be over.
But now, the burly man next to him, who was not inferior to him in terms of physique, gave him a pressure that was close to a mountain.
Wu Rilun had no doubt that this trip to Xi Liang was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. If he was not careful, he would die!
"I wonder what conditions the Western Liang King has. The Khagan said that as long as the conditions are not too outrageous, the Khagan can agree to them.”
Wu Rilun braced himself and continued,""Our archenemy and your country's enemy is the Great Tang. The Khagan is extremely happy to see the two sides working together.”
At this crucial moment, he could only use the Great Tang.
Hopefully, it would make the Western Liang King feel some fear!
"Alliance?"
"What a joke. This king hasn't agreed to your request yet, so how can we form an alliance? When this king attacked Liangzhou, you were still fighting with this king's army at the front line, right?”
Li Ye looked at him with a faint smile.
A moment later, Li Ye put away his joking thoughts and said seriously,
"Let's not talk about anything else. Since you want to hear this king's conditions, then listen well. Go back and tell that Tuli fellow.”
"First, there's no need to talk about the alliance. This king needs him to guarantee that his trade will not be disturbed by war for five years.”
"Secondly, I need a city under the jurisdiction of Western Liang for five years. As for the location…it's in the Lashan region. Don't you need help? Now, the Lashan region is your last territory. This king can guarantee that during this snowstorm, I will provide you with all the resources. The premise is that your people can be used by me. Simply put, they will work for me…"
What was he lacking now?
The first was population, and the second was territory!
At this moment, Li Ye did not hesitate to ask for an exorbitant price.
This was also because there were blizzards in other regions. Otherwise, it would not be a problem that could be solved by a single city.
"This…May I ask, Xi Liang King, who has the final say in the Lashan region?”
Hearing Li Ye's request, Wu Rilun's expression changed.
This was clearly taking advantage of a burning house!
However, there was nothing to negotiate with the other party now!
"Of course, I'm the one calling the shots. Your people will still listen to Tuli. To put it bluntly, I only need to borrow the Lashan region and your people for five years. As for Tuli, your higher-ups, and your army, I have no interest in them.”
Li Ye frowned and pretended to be unhappy.
Wu Rilun heaved a sigh of relief.
Now, he understood.
It was equivalent to renting out the population and working for the Western Liang King for five years. It was not a ceding of territory.
"If that's the case, then it's much easier. I'll definitely bring this matter to you. Please wait for the news.”
Since the matter had been settled, Wu Rilun and the others left Western Liang that day and returned to the grasslands to report.
Soon, a day later.
Wu Rilun rushed to Black Blue City alone and told Li Ye that Tuli had agreed to his request.
With this, the war between Western Liang and the Western Turks came to an end.
At this moment, Li Ye was giving the officials some general knowledge.
"There is a saying that people's gossip is terrible. You all have to remember the importance of fishing boats. There is also a saying that three people become a tiger. You must control the direction of the fishing boat and not lose the hearts of the people.”
" Our goal is to expand. Occupying a territory is only the basic goal. The best policy is to protect our territory and bring benefits to our great cause for a long time!”
" The economy is the lifeline of the country and is closely related to everyone. With our mature commercial trade policy, we must continue to implement it when it is perfected in real time…"
About two hours later, Li Ye stopped his speech.
Li Ye took a sip of water and waved his hand to signal for the officials to leave. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Being a monarch was really tiring, especially being a wise and heroic monarch. It was simply f * cking tiring!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the teaching mission. The reward is the blue-and-white porcelain design recipe!”
Li Ye's expression brightened as he heard the voice in his mind.
Blue and white porcelain!
This was one of the secrets of the Great Tang. Only a few people in the Ministry of Works knew the exact formula, and it was a top secret!
