I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 55 Ashina Helu seeks cooperation, the prince is furious

Chang'an, an unexpected person came to the palace!

Ashina Helu!
This was supposed to rise suddenly a few years later and become the Khan of the Western Turks, controlling Xinjiang and sending troops to the Tang Dynasty.

Because of Qin Mu's strength, Ashina Helu realized the gap and wanted to bear it.

Unexpectedly, another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared!

Qin Mu rebelled, Datang Tian Khan abolished the elders and established the younger...

A series of horrific incidents disrupted the overall strategic layout of the Western Turks, but also provided a new way out.

Ashina Helu showed great sincerity and paid high respects.

"His Royal Highness, I am here only for sincere cooperation."

Cooperation?

Li Tai's thoughts surged, and he waved his hand: "Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Prince."

Hypocrisy and pretentiousness are both people of high status, so they are naturally very slippery.

Ashina Helu cupped his hands and sat down.

From the moment he entered the palace, he was already shocked.

Magnificent and majestic, thinking about my so-called "royal palace", it is not even as good as a side hall of the Tang Palace.

"I don't know, what is Khan looking for this king this time?" Li Tai saw something in the eyes of the other party...
Jealousy, murderous intent!
There is only one kind of person who can have these two things at the same time, and that is a robber!
The Western Turks are the same as the Eastern Turks, and they are undeterred towards my territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness, I am here for cooperation."

"Cooperation? Hahaha..."

Li Tai suddenly laughed, and then his face turned cold: "Ask the 10,000+ soldiers who went to the frontier, will their dead souls agree?"

"On the border of my Datang, there are countless souls of civilians and soldiers, and they all died under the knives of your group of rebels."

"You ask me to cooperate now, don't you want people in the world to scold me Li Tai?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you are the king of a small country in Fanbang, this king would kill you on the spot!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ashina Helu frowned, thinking that Tang Dynasty was in danger.

He had already sent someone to understand the prince in front of him. He was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and he didn't have the air of a king at all.

But now it seems that this is not the case!

"His Royal Highness, this Khan is only here for cooperation. I hope His Royal Highness will proceed from the overall situation."

Hearing this, Li Tai narrowed his eyes slightly.

What an old fox!
Thinking about it, I'm still my own person who speaks lightly.

If the emperor was here, I'm afraid he only needed to say a word, and the person in front of him was already scared to death.

"You are now in civil strife, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?"

"His Royal Highness, the Great Tang army is running low, and the border areas are even under the control of Qin Mu. His troops have even threatened Chang'an City."

Speaking of this, Ashina Helu sneered: "If you want to rely on 50 imperial troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."

"Hmph! You underestimate my Tang soldiers too!" Li Tai was a little angry.

The khan of this small foreign country in front of him doesn't take himself seriously.

The man I represent is the face of the Tang court.

However, the other party has this attitude.

Obviously because of Qin Mu's rebellion, the court is now in a dilemma.

Any cat or dog dares to come up and take a bite.

"I didn't underestimate the Tang soldiers, I was just worried about His Royal Highness, Qin Mu is not an ordinary person!"

Ashina Helu said, a pair of bright eyes revealed a kind of disdain and ridicule.

Li Tai could see it naturally, but he couldn't show it.

Because he is a prince, he must have a royal demeanor and sufficient cultivation.

"Qin Mu, what does it have to do with you? This is my Great Tang's internal affairs."

"It's true that it has nothing to do with me, but he sealed off the border, and our Western Turkic people also have to eat."

"You..." Li Tai turned his head suddenly, his cold eyes were full of vigilance, "What do you mean!"

"Of course it's... as the prince thinks!" Ashina Helu didn't have the slightest respect when he first came in.

At this moment, it seems to be turning against customers.

Li Tai was a little flustered for a while.

What the other party said was obvious.

Although the Western Turks have a small population, everyone is good at fighting.

The Tang Dynasty's confidant is in danger, if it is attacked by the Western Turks, coupled with the threat of Qin Mu's army.

That result...

unimaginable!

"Salt, iron and other things can be completely blocked by my Tang Dynasty. Do you think it is possible to fight the Turks?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince underestimates me, West Turkic. You know that the current mining capacity is no longer what it was two years ago."

"Even our side has mastered the iron-making technology, and there are countless things like salt!"

"What!" Li Tai stood up excitedly, and looked at the trembling eunuch with his head bowed not far away.

"Your Highness, don't worry, these things are not left by the Tang Dynasty, but Lingzhou City!"

"You have a connection with Qin Mu!"

"No, you can't even imagine the things sold in Lingzhou City. Do you know where the snow-like salt currently on the market comes from?"

Li Tai was puzzled, but he didn't speak.

Ashina Helu smiled indifferently: "Qinghai Lake, although I don't know what method is used for the title, but at least thousands of horse-drawn carts of snow salt are pulled out from there every day!"

"Doesn't His Royal Highness think that the imperial court's salt and iron monopoly still maintains the same control as before?"

"In the current market, almost all the franchises controlled by the imperial court are sold by Qin Mu!"

Li Tai's hands were shaking, completely unaware of the situation.

Qin Mu, this is going to break the roots of the imperial court!
"Ben Khan might as well remind His Highness the Crown Prince that at present, the border areas are closed, and even small foreign countries, including Western Turks."

"In these places, more than [-]% of the property is controlled by a place called a bank."

"The owner behind this bank is Qin Mu!"

Ashina Helu said on his lips, but his heart was burning with anxiety.

Why didn't he want to clean up these banks, as well as those businessmen who came out of Linzhou and other places.

First, afraid of Qin Mu's strength, he dared not act.

Second, once cleaned up, he found that there was nothing to use in the domestic or even surrounding effects.

More than [-]% of the supplies all flowed out of the territory of Datang.

The border is controlled by Qin Mu.

This situation has formed an endless loop, or continue to let it go, then the domestic property will naturally flow out.

If you want to stop it, you don't have enough strength.

So he came to the lobby this time, and came secretly, just to deal with these problems.

Li Tai suddenly figured it out, no wonder this small Fanbang country who had always been dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty lowered its stance to cooperate.

Ashina Helu cupped his hands again: "His Royal Highness, I think you know it too. If you still don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate."

"As for the cooperation, I will stay in Chang'an City for two days. If His Royal Highness has figured it out, just send someone to inform me."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Li Tai clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles on his face were shaking.

Whoa!
Suddenly, he pushed everything on the table to the ground.

"what!"

The eunuch, who was already terrified, was taken aback.

Hearing the voice, Li Tai looked over like a poisonous snake, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No... not..."
