assistance?

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but tremble for a moment. Before he could speak, he was blackmailed. I don't know how many benefits he would dare to ask for your assistance.

"That..., there is no need for assistance. After all, it is a matter within our Tubo. Why do you feel embarrassed to trouble you?"

"Why, I look down on me!" Li Hao turned his back faster than reading the book, and his face darkened: "It's you who threaten me, and it's you who beg me. You are here to play tricks, right?"

"No, how dare you?" I was the one who was the one who was the one who was a slaughter. Lu Kerr waved his hands repeatedly: "Li Shidu was busy with official duties, so we won't bother you with this little thing."

Li Hao curled his lips: "Isn't it just the Xiangxiong, Gongbu, Tabu, and Niangbu tribes of your father, the three ministers and the three ministers of your mother, the three ministers of yours, the things like local chickens and tiles. It's a bit too much to say that they are troublesome to them."

Didn’t it mean that the Tang Dynasty’s news was blocked and they knew nothing about Tubo?

How could this guy know so clearly about our internal situation? Even the three ministers of the father, the king, and the three ministers of the mother, the three ministers of the mother, could it be the mastermind behind this rebellion?

Songtsen Gampo and Lunkoll looked at each other, and their eyes were full of bad intentions when they looked at Li Hao again.

After a moment of silence, Lun Kerr took the initiative to speak out and tentatively: "Li Shidu, why do you know me so well with Tubo?"

"Just think I was dreaming about it. You don't have to take such small things to heart. Anyway, you won't believe it after I say it."

As a top student in the military academy with both good character and academic performance, his understanding of Tubo is not less than that of the Tang Dynasty. The problem is that he cannot explain this understanding. He said that it was read in the book and the other party must believe it.

What the hell is you dreaming about? You are too perfunctory. The corner of Kohl's mouth twitched and said helplessly: "Li Shidu, this reason does not seem to be believed."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I don't plan to let you believe it anyway." This time, Li Hao was too lazy to even be perfunctory and waved his hand and said, "The key issue is still on the assistance. If you don't accept it, then bring all my benefits. From now on, you can walk on your Yangguan Road and I walk on my single-plank bridge. If you do not have any of the past, you will assume that nothing has happened."

"How can that work?" Songtsen Gampo was anxious.

Li Hao clearly wanted to make money without doing anything. If he really did what he said, after the money he bought was delivered, the rebellion would have nothing to do with Songtsen Gampo.

Lun Kerr also knew that his side had no choice, so he smiled bitterly: "Li Shidu, let me tell you what kind of assistance you can give us. I can guarantee you that as long as Zanpu can regain the throne, Tubo will definitely become the most loyal vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"Smart choice." Li Hao snapped his fingers and glanced at the slightly immature Songzanganbu. The meaning was very obvious. The boy learned more from your uncle: "However, loyalty or not is just that. When you say that, I will hear it. After all, there is a saying that goes, that is, there is no eternal friend between countries, only eternal interests, right?"

"Uh..." On Cole grinned, whether to be so direct, will this guy negotiate?

In an awkward atmosphere, Li Hao, who had the advantage of home court, continued: "Since the prince has made a choice and Zamp has not objected, then I will talk about the aid. As a neighbor, it is impossible to directly send troops to help you quell the rebellion. Don't rush to interrupt me. Even if you are anxious, you must respect the objective facts. Our Tang Dynasty soldiers are indeed unable to fight normally on the plateau.

However, although we cannot send troops, your soldiers can retreat to Heishi Mountain to rest. After all, there is now the territory of our Tang Dynasty. I believe that even if the rebels are brave, they will not dare to attack.

In addition, we can help you train the troops that retreat to Black Rock Mountain to repair and provide them with weapons and arms. I believe that in less than half a year, they will double their combat effectiveness. Is this kind of aid prince still satisfied?"

Heishishan is obviously ours, and Songtsen Gampo thought unwillingly.

"Satisfied, I just don't know what we need to pay?" Lunkoll thought for a while and felt that things would not be that simple.

After several contacts, he knew very well that although Li Hao looked harmless on the surface, in fact, this guy was not inferior to those old foxes in the Tang Dynasty, and even had it.

Those old foxes may also pay attention to their appearance when doing things, but the one in front of them is shameless and snatched the toad and snatched it out of urine. It is impossible to get him to help unconditionally.

Li Hao didn't know that he had been labeled as shameless in the other party's heart. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Anyway, there were too many lice and there was no itch or too much debt. He smiled and said, "Hehe..., Prince Cole is a wise man. In fact, after all the previous things, we are friends, and friends should not talk about benefits."

I believe you are just a hammer, Lunkore rolled his eyes secretly.

But then again, what Li Hao just said is still very attractive to him.

Even if he put aside the two items of containment of defeated soldiers and training the army, he would be extremely satisfied with providing weapons and arms alone.

In Tubo craftsmen, they are extremely scarce high-tech talents. For this reason, if an army in Tubo can be equipped with iron swords, they can be considered absolute elites. As for armor... what is that?

After repeated measurements, Kohl felt that even if Li Hao's conditions were too much, he would grit his teeth for weapons and arms.

"If there is any difficulty in Shidou Li, please tell me clearly, the Tubo people will not make things difficult for their friends."

"Uncle..." Seeing that Cole was so full of money, Songtsen Gampo was very anxious.

No matter how he looks at Li Hao, he doesn't like him now. He thinks that he will be blackmailed again soon, and he is completely in a bad mood.

"What? Zanpu has something to say?" Li Hao's eyes turned to Songzan Gampo and asked threatily.

"No." Lunkoll dared to take the words tightly, and shook his head at Songzan Gampo: "Zanpu, Li Shidu is our friend, he is really helping us."

Seeing Songzan Gampo shut her mouth again, Li Hao shrugged and sighed: "My biggest advantage is that he likes to help others. After all, helping others is the basis of happiness, let alone we are still friends. But..."

I knew this guy wouldn't be so kind.

Hearing the word "just", the slightest bit of affection for Li Hao just now disappeared.

"But the prince should know that the grain production in Songzhou, Tang Dynasty, is limited. Even under normal circumstances, we need to transport grain from other prefectures, let alone accept a large number of defeated soldiers from your country. We can't accept them and let them all starve to death, right?"

"What does Li Shidu mean?"

Li Hao smiled and said without hiding his intention: "I mean to build an official road from Chang'an to Heishi Mountain to ensure the supply of food. I think His Highness the Prince would not let me, the Tang Dynasty, come and build this road, right?"

On Cole: "…"

Are you a devil? Build an official road from Chang'an to Heishi Mountain. What do you think of us Tubo people?

Thinking of this, Lu Ke said in embarrassment: "Li Shidu, are your...the requirements too high? It is impossible to complete the construction of an official road from Black Stone Mountain to Chang'an without hundreds of thousands of people. Even if I want to contribute, I, Tubo, have not enough people."

"The prince doesn't have to worry. We have new craftsmanship and there is no need for so many people to build roads. If you don't believe it, you can go outside the east gate of Chang'an City to see where there is an official road under construction." Li Hao kindly reminded Lun Kerr.

If he hadn't gone to the palace to report this extortion to Li Er... the result of the negotiations was that he really wanted to take the Tubo couple to the East Gate to check out the cement road. After the repair, it would be much more convenient to transport grain to Songzhou. Not only did he save time, but he also had a large amount of transportation. Even if the Sixteen Guards were transferred to station half of them, the Tang Dynasty could still afford it.

Of course, this is just an example. After all, no one knows how many soldiers were defeated in Tubo. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was a peace-loving country, so it was naturally impossible to transfer so many soldiers to the borders of neighboring countries. It was not that I wanted to fight, so why did I put so many soldiers in Songzhou?

In the Eastern Palace, Imperial Study Room, when Li Er was about to lose his patience, two stinky guys Li Chengqian and Li Hao finally appeared.

After a greeting, the great emperor asked calmly: "How about it, do you know what the Tubo people are making?"

Looking at each other, Li Chengqian took a step forward: "Father, Tubo Zanpu plans to offer five thousand war horses, ten thousand slaves, and the territory in the Heishi Mountain area to thank you for your protection."

"What?" Li Er didn't believe his ears. Before yesterday, the Tubo people were arrogantly threatening to come to Chang'an. Why did they become so cowardly in the blink of an eye: "You two brats, shouldn't you lie to me?"

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with the old man's surprised expression, and was secretly proud of himself, but on the surface he was frightened and fearful, "Father, my son's minister is so brave that he dare not lie to you. Then Tubo Zanpu has deeply realized his mistakes and apologized to you for his arrogant behavior. Oh, by the way, he took the initiative to stay as a hostage this time and would never leave without authorization before the promised thing was delivered to Chang'an."

Listening to his son's report, Li Er always felt strange and asked in his heart: "You two must have been playing tricks, right? Otherwise, how could Tubo Zanpu's attitude change so quickly."

Li Chengqian said: "Father, where have you been thinking? My son and Dejian really didn't touch their hair. They just promised to protect them and the defeated soldiers, and provide them with weapons and equipment and help them train soldiers."

Li Er: “…”

Are you two pig brains? How can you be more slandering than to be a slap!

At most, Qubing the enemy was impeached by the censors who were "unknown right and wrong" below. They could protect Tubo Zamp and his defeated soldiers, and provide weapons and equipment. What is this? Is it a disaster to raise a tiger?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I just harvested five thousand war horses, and the joy of ten thousand slaves and the territory of Black Stone Mountain instantly turned into anger: "You two are so brave. You don't even discuss such a big thing with me and make a private decision. You..."

Seeing that Li Er was about to get angry, Li Hao hurriedly pulled Li Chengqian and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Er glared at him: "What else do you have to say? Things that are not enough to succeed and have more than enough to fail. Why don't you know how to make progress for such a long time? Let me save you some attention."

"Your Majesty, you must be worried about raising a tiger, right?" Li Hao touched his nose, and the pressure on Li Er was extremely high.

If you count the 559 emperors in Chinese history, Li Er is definitely the top ten. It is much more difficult to fool him than fool Songzan Gampo.

Li Er snorted: "It seems that you are not really stupid enough to be inseparable from right and wrong, but since you know the reason for raising a tiger, why do you still have to knowingly commit it?"

"Your Majesty, when it comes to raising tigers, the remnants of Tubo are stationed in our Tang Dynasty, but we supply the food. Once we find that they have a second intention, as long as we cut off their supply of food and grass, they will immediately turn them into sick tigers. The so-called tiger is in the sun and is... ..." Li Hao suddenly stopped halfway through his speech, blinking his innocent eyes and looking at Li Er.

"What are you getting?" Li Er's face turned black like the bottom of the pot: "Why don't you tell me what you're going to get!"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Chengqian hurriedly rescued the scene: "Father, Dejian didn't mean that, he meant Longyou Shoal..."

Hey?! It seems that this is no different from just now.

Li Chengqian scratched his head awkwardly and closed his mouth on his own initiative.

Li Hao:(′?_?`)

Li Er:('Ε')!

"You two are ignorant, and you can't make me angry to death...Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Li Chengqian and Li Hao looked at each other, bent down, lowered their heads, and shrank their necks.

It’s better not to say anything at this critical moment, and the more you draw it, the darker it becomes. It’s better not to say anything, and it’s better to wait until Li Er’s anger fades.

Half an hour later, Li Er finally scolded him for being tired and took the tea handed over by Lin Xi: "So tell me, what's going on."

"Uh...yes." Li Hao didn't dare to continue the previous topic, skipping the part of the food cut off and said: "I think so. Leaving the remnants of Tubo is a good idea for us to understand how the Tubo people fought. In addition, we can also drive tigers and swallow wolves, forcing Tubo to get along with Tuyuhun. Finally, if the operation is done properly, we might get a Tubo cavalry."

Li Er snorted angrily: "I'm just a fool, you're a fool when you're a Tubo people, and you can't do it."

"It's up to people to do it. I'm lucky to get it, but I'm lucky to lose it." Seeing that the old man had already calmed down, Li Chengqian leaned forward: "Besides, the Tubo people are not stationed on our territory in vain. They are also responsible for building a cement road from Heishi Mountain to Chang'an, so even if they don't listen to our tricks, we won't lose, right?"
