Chapter 521 For the current plan, there is only one way to survive! .
Also New Year's Eve.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is enjoying the beauty of love and joy here in the cloudy Wushan Mountain.
But the countries in the Western Regions are gloomy...
Since a month ago, the three-sided armies of the Tang Empire cut off all passages between the Western Regions and the outside world and imposed salt and iron sanctions!
Among the countries in the Western Regions.
Up to the lords of the country, down to the nobles and even ordinary people, life is very difficult...!
The nobles still have a little salt to eat.
But ordinary people from all over the world, not to mention eating salt, can't find even something that smells like smoke!
And apart from that.
Due to the ban on the import of iron ore, and the exodus of a large number of blacksmiths from the countries in the Western Regions.
The countries in the Western Regions simply cannot build weapons and equipment!
To make up for the lack of armaments and weapons caused by the fighting of various forces in the past year!
All of a sudden, the Western Regions were in chaos!
Whether it is Tong Yehu or Qu Wentai.
Or the rulers of countries such as Yanqi Yutian did not think of it.
The Great Tang Empire would suddenly play such a trick...!
The direct sanctions of salt and iron, coupled with the blockage of various main roads, completely cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the outside world!
Not to mention salt and iron.
Even ordinary clothes, tea, or porcelain.
You can't even enter the Western Regions!
This is the sanction from Datang!
Western Regions.
The capital of the Western Turks, Konoha City.
In the middle of the night, Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, was lying on the bed with a sad face.
His brows were furrowed, his face was ugly and gloomy...
"The movement of Datang's hand is simply too abrupt, and too deadly!"
"No salt and no iron."
"I'm afraid I, Western Turk, won't be able to last for a year or a half at all...!"
Tong Yehu Khan, who is already more than a few years old.
While sighing softly like this, he patted the bed, venting the anger in his heart!
No salt and iron supplements.
Not only has the combat power of the soldiers of the countries in the Western Regions been greatly reduced.
Even because there is no iron, the weapon cannot be repaired and replenished at all!
As a result, the current military strength of the countries in the Western Regions is extremely corrupt and low!
This blow is fatal.
It is enough to cause the countries of the Western Regions, including the Western Turks, to perish naturally without knowing it...!
A blunt knife cuts flesh...
Datang's current sanctions are simply cutting flesh with a blunt knife!
In the long run.
In less than a year and a half, all the countries in the Western Regions will have to play together!
"Come on!"
"Write a few letters for Ben Khan and send them to Khotan, Kucha, Gaochang and Yanqi!"
"Invite the four lords to come and meet with Ben Khan to discuss the countermeasures together!"
"If you want to stand out from the encirclement right now, there is only this way..."
Tong Yehu's tone was extremely helpless.
His own Western Turkic Khanate has never been able to reach such a dangerous situation today!
It was literally on the verge of extinction.
And it's still the kind of death that is suffocating to death...!
Tong Yehu must save himself, if he does not save himself, he will die in the hands of the Tang Empire sooner or later!
And unite with other countries.
And twisted into a rope, struggling to break through in one direction, after breaking through a passage.
Only then will there be such a glimmer of life...!
"Even if the eagle is about to die, it will flap its wings and fall to its death in the air!"
"What's more, the country is about to perish!"
"Let's fight hard, for the last sliver of life, for our own life...!"
The misty night seemed so dark.
There is almost no light on the vast land of the Western Regions, just like the prospects of the countries in the Western Regions.
Filled with unbearable fog...
-
Datang Zhenguan three years, the first day of the first month.
Ning Chen got up early today, and the maid had already brought the breakfast, which was placed on the table outside the inner hall.
His Royal Highness King Chu smiled and looked at Li Mingxue who was still sleeping soundly.
There is a deep pampering in the eyes...
"Forget it, don't eat!"
Ning Chen got up and dressed, waved her hands lightly, and didn't intend to sit down to have breakfast.
After a while.
Ning Chen put on the court clothes and cloak, and walked towards the palace in the palace carriage...
The wheels crushed the white snow, leaving two deep ruts on the bluestone road.
And start today.
The second year of Zhenguan was just a fleeting moment, and the third year of Zhenguan has come!
As for the national affairs of the three years of Zhenguan, in fact, the conclusion has already been reached!
Clean up the imperial court, reduce and exempt taxes, suppress the aristocratic family, support the imperial examination...
As for matters concerning the Western Regions and Tubo.
In fact, in comparison, it is not the most important and urgent thing to do.
after all.
As long as the salt and iron sanctions are still going on, the rest can only be like fish on the chopping board, which can be slaughtered by Datang anytime and anywhere!
It is clear.
At least in the first half of the third year of Zhenguan, His Majesty the Emperor, King Chu and other courtiers.
I'm not very willing to start slaughtering the Western Regions...
Tai Chi Palace, Tai Chi Hall.
Li Er stood on the edge of the high platform, watching every courtier above the hall with sharp eyes.
"You dear ladies, work hard!"
The angel suddenly chuckled, with a warm smile like a spring breeze on his face.
"May all my lovers work together with me this year!"
"Making my Great Tang Empire even more powerful, suppressing all directions, and benefiting millions of people...!"

Chapter 522 His Highness King Chu Openly Abuses Dogs in Public! .
Ever since it snowed on New Year's Eve in the second year of Zhenguan.
In Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the surrounding Gyeonggi area, there were not many snowflakes.
sunny.
Although it is still the end of winter, the temperature is obviously much warmer than before...
In the past few days, Chang'an City can be described as noisy and lively, full of people's voices.
Envoys from various countries came to court one after another, and caravans from all over the world went to the east and west cities to sell goods.
In addition, the nearby people also entered the city one after another.
Or you want to buy some small objects, or you want to sell some gadgets, or you just want to see the excitement...
After all, spring plowing has not yet arrived.
So now, not only rich and powerful families, even ordinary people have a lot of leisure time...
Chang'an City, West Market.
Compared to the East Market, the West Market is not inferior in terms of size and bustling.
And this moment.
His Royal Highness King Chu of the Tang Empire was strolling around the streets of Xishi with his Princess Chu.
There was no maid behind the two of them.
Therefore, Ning Chen specially found a kit bag, filled it with a few pieces of silver ingots, and a lot of copper coins.
"My husband only has these few copper coins and this tael of silver."
"Ma'am, today, you have to spend money wisely!"
Ning Chen hugged Li Mingxue's slender waist with a smile.
With the other hand, he shook the money pouch tied around his waist.
It's like an ordinary couple who have worked hard for a year, and still carry the money they have saved, going to Beijing to play...
only.
Although the clothes of this ordinary couple are not luxurious, their temperament is still extraordinary!
The woman has a beautiful face and a graceful figure, just like a nine-day fairy descending from the mortal world.
The man has a firm face and a tall figure.
In addition to the money pouch at the waist, there is also a long sword on the other side.
It can be called a talented man and a beautiful woman, and it can be described as a match made in heaven!
"Since there are people from Tianji Pavilion around, why does my husband carry a long sword?"
Li Mingxue suddenly turned her head.
She leaned sideways to Ning Chen's body, her fair and flawless cheeks were blushing faintly.
