Chapter 652 The Tubo King Assassinated

Chapter 677 The Tubo King Assassinated

Qin Yang thought, in the eyes of the Tang central government, this place is probably a barren land at all, a truly desolate place that there is no need to leave it for nothing.

Such a place is simply not suitable for human survival.

It can't grow too many crops, and it's not suitable for people to live in. Where should it be kept?
If he persuaded them to build a city defense in Blackwater on the grounds of border defense, those people might not support it.

Therefore, he needs to choose another reason.

Thinking of that in later generations, that area is actually a very fertile place suitable for growing crops. All kinds of rice, millet, soybeans and other crops are planted in large areas in that area.

It can be said that in future generations, there will be a grain-producing area that supports a small half of the country.

Such a place, during this period, was a barren land where no one wanted to live.

"Yezhi, do you know about Shu?" Qin Yang wanted to talk about corn, but suddenly he thought that there was still a long way to go before corn was introduced into China. At least in the current early Tang period, there was neither corn nor sweet potato. , and no potatoes, no cotton, no beets, and no tomatoes... In short, many things that later generations will eat every day, in this period, there are none at all!If it weren't for the appearance of Qin Yang, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and some of the above high-yield crops would not have appeared in the early Tang Dynasty.

But Shu is a crop that has always been native to China. It is most appropriate to use Shu to describe this matter.

Zhang Yunji was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the king suddenly asked this question, so he said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials naturally know about this bean."

How could it not be known!

The crops in Youzhou were originally mainly bean, which can be said to be one of the crops with the highest yield!

Of course, now Shu is no longer available. Potatoes and sweet potatoes have replaced Shu and become the mainstay crops in Youzhou.

Keshu is still widely planted in Youzhou, and various bean products are now supporting Youzhou's vegetable basket.

Especially in winter, if there is no tofu to eat, although some fresh vegetables can be eaten in the greenhouse, and Youzhou also has the technology of growing mushrooms in the greenhouse, the dishes will still be much more monotonous.

He didn't understand why the king suddenly asked such a question.

Qin Yang saw that he hadn't reacted yet, so he reminded him: "Sun is a crop that can be grown in severe cold regions. We can do it here, but how can we know that it can't be done in Heishui? Maybe there will be more harvest.”

Will it be like this?

Zhang Yunji didn't dare to think about it, but what if?
He thought for a while and said: "Since your majesty said so, the officials also think that there is such a possibility. It is better to wait until the end of the war and let people try to plant some bean near Heishui. If the bean harvest is good, this reason can be used to convince the court Fortify in Blackwater?"

After all, a piece of fertile land has a different meaning from a piece of barren land!

A barren land, naturally there is no need to fight.

Even if they want to set up city defenses outside Youzhou, they will probably be asked to set up military towns, just one or two towns.

But if one realizes that that area is a fertile land where crops can be planted and harvested, then not only the meaning of that area will be different, but also how to completely subdue the alien race of Heishui Mohe will have a new direction.

That is, let Heishui Mohe completely change from grazing to farming aliens.

As long as you get used to the farming life, you will be able to take root in one place, instead of wandering around an area repeatedly and leaving camp at any time.

It is impossible for a nation that can leave camp at any time to live in peace.

Because they have no worries, they have no special feelings for a fixed area.

Unlike the people in the farming society, they have feelings for the land and the farmland, and they are unwilling to leave their homeland easily.

Qin Yang also knew that now is not the time to worry about these things, the most important thing now is to understand the matter of the King of Tubo first.

After the two said this, they turned around and received the news again.

This time, it was the peace letter written by the king of Tubo himself. It said that if Qin Yang was willing to negotiate peace, the two sides could find an opportunity to sit down and talk. No matter what the conditions were, the Youzhou side could raise them at that time.

Naturally, Qin Yang would not go to the Tubo army's camp in person, he asked the envoy to bring back his words.

"If you want to talk about peace, then let him come to talk in person. The king will bring people to meet him outside the new third district."

Qin Yang's words were carried back, which once again aroused controversy within the Tubo army.

"My lord! Don't do it! This is letting you fall into a trap! If that's what he intends to do, if you pass by, you will be dunked directly. Isn't this the ball that went into the tiger's mouth?" Someone immediately objected.

It's just that the phrase "the sheep enters the tiger's mouth" made the Tubo king feel a little uncomfortable, and he gave the man a glare.

The man immediately lowered his head.

But what this person said is also a problem.That's right, what if he passed by and was directly detained by Qin Yang?
What morality can these two armies speak of before the battle?
"But if Your Majesty doesn't go, they will definitely not let go of the siege and let us go often. Now the food and grass are less than three days..."

This is still the result of frugality.

The tens of thousands of troops were defeated again before, leaving behind a lot of things.

The food and grass they brought was enough for three days.

If they don't make a decision, where will they go after three days?
Hungry, how many days can you be hungry?
And three days, is it enough for them to wait for reinforcements that are impossible to come?
Is it enough for them to break out?
They have been trapped for almost [-] days. How many times have they broken through during these [-] days?

Did it succeed once?

"That's all. Discuss this matter later, you go out first." After a long silence, the Tubo king waved his hand to let them retreat first.

But the king's attitude already showed everything.

Everyone can see that the king is about to compromise.

But no one said anything, if they could live, who would want to die?

Now that the king is about to compromise, why are they still insisting?
But after some people went back, they were a little worried.

"You said, if the king can really go out... After returning, wouldn't the king on the Tubo side be kicked out? The prime minister's side, I'm afraid he will be roasted on the fire." The civil official and him The servant with him spoke in a low voice.

This official was actually the prime minister's man, and he was quite loyal. Naturally, he was worried that if they went back like this, it would make it difficult for the prime minister who stayed in the royal capital to behave.

Just when he was thinking about what to do, less than half an hour had passed when he suddenly heard a noise outside.

"It's not good! The king has been assassinated!" someone shouted.

what?
The king was assassinated?
After hearing this sound, not only the official, but almost everyone in the tent ran out in a hurry.
