Chapter 144

The vast Great Tang prides itself on being a celestial empire, yet it uses such despicable means to win relations with other countries.

It is truly contemptible!

"Hehe! The Great Tang Emperor truly has good methods; when in doubt, use a marriage alliance? Does the dignified celestial empire still want its face?"

Qin Mu sneered coldly.

Li Er lowered his head, his face gloomy to the extreme.

This won't work, that won't work.

What on earth is this brat trying to do?

Could it be that he is just making fun of us?

"I hope Your Majesty can point us in the right direction; I don't know what exactly you want our Great Tang to do?"

Fang Fang Xuanling's patience had been exhausted.

Instead of reflecting on how to become stronger, they want to use women to please neighboring countries.

At this very moment.

I wonder what is happening within the Great Tang?

We must hurry back as soon as possible!

No matter the cost, we must seek Qin Mu's help.

He is our only hope for a comeback!

"Alright, since you don't understand, then I will speak plainly."

"Everyone here is a smart person; the Great Tang and the Great Qin will have a war sooner or later. The reason I am helping you is not out of mercy; you know this better than I do."

"The territory of my Great Qin is mainly on the Tibetan Plateau; it is difficult to attack and difficult to defend, which is truly a headache."

"If the Great Tang can do a favor and help my Great Qin solve this matter, then why would the Great Qin only lend troops? Giving you tens of thousands of elites is not impossible." In the midst of conversation, Qin Mu lightly put forward his conditions.

Of course.

As for the so-called tens of thousands of elites, Qin Mu had already prepared them.

They were the 30,000 Tibetan remnants brought by Yue Fei!

Anyway, they were going to die sooner or later, so it might as well be used to exchange their lives for the greatest benefit!

The private room was dead silent.

Li Er's face was gloomy to the extreme.

Fang Fang Xuanling and Du Du Ruhui were also sweating profusely, their eyes somewhat dull.

These people were all top-tier political veterans.

They knew the meaning behind Qin Mu's words better than anyone else.

Exchange land for troops!

This is the condition Qin Mu set!

That is to say.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's determination!

Use land to exchange for troops!

"I don't know what land Your Majesty wants? Could you tell us a little, so we can have some mental preparation."

Li Er took a long breath, suppressing the fear in his heart.

With Qin Mu's character, the Great Tang is definitely going to bleed heavily!

It hurts!

It hurts to the bone!

For any emperor of any generation, even the most muddled emperor, when facing the need to cede land...

Not to mention a monarch with great talent Wu Li Ke Li Er?

That is simply cutting his flesh!

It's no wonder Li Er's face was so ugly.

That is more painful than gouging out his own heart.

"Old Li, be a man, don't look so mournful. You have always known me best; I am the least likely to take small advantages."

"I don't want much, Yizhou is enough!"

Qin Mu slowly extended a finger, the expression on his face was pure and kind.

Those who didn't know would think he was an innocent and lively teenager.

But as soon as he finished this sentence, Li Er completely exploded.

"What did you say!? Yizhou!? That's not enough? Why don't you just take the whole Great Tang!"

Li Er wheezed, unable to catch his breath, shouting with a red face and thick neck.

What kind of dangerous place is Yizhou?

When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, fought for the world, his foundation was Yizhou.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the base camp where Liu Bei and Master Zhuge Liang entrenched themselves was also Yizhou.

Yizhou is located in the southwest of the Great Tang, adjacent to Jiannan Circuit, and is known as the Land of Abundance of Bashu!

If Qin Mu gets Yizhou, it is equivalent to one-third of the Great Tang's world!

Splitting the land and dividing the borders!

The power of the Great Qin will be greatly enhanced!

Coupled with the Tibetan Plateau, Tuyuhun, the Hexi Corridor, and other areas all under Qin Mu's control, it can be said without politeness.

Once Yizhou is obtained, the Great Qin will completely surpass the Great Tang and become a super-power dominating the entire world, reaching Luo Si in the west, the Great Tang in the east, Siam in the south, and the Turks in the north.

The Great Qin will become the center of the world!

By that time, what strength would the Great Tang have to contend with the Great Qin?

"Your Majesty, this request is truly too difficult to accept."

"Yes! Yizhou, that is almost equivalent to one-third of the Great Tang's territory!"

Fang Fang Xuanling and Du Du Ruhui were also excited with red faces.

No one could accept such conditions!

Qin Mu is simply opening his mouth Wu Li Ke a lion!

They had long expected that he would not simply send troops to help the Tang, but they didn't expect his ambition to be so great.

With one opening, it's half of the Great Tang!

Good fellow!

This brat really doesn't follow the rules of martial arts.

Fortunately, the Emperor had deep composure and didn't fight him on the spot.

"This is the bottom line and condition of the Great Qin; apart from this, nothing else is up for discussion!"

Qin Mu slowly closed his eyes, unwilling to negotiate with Li Er and the others anymore.

"Special envoys, please!"

Wei Wei Zhongxian, with great discernment, made a gesture of invitation.

Li Er opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but seeing the murderous intent in Wei Wei Zhongxian's eyes, he swallowed his words back.

Qin Mu is a madman, and the eunuch beside him is not a normal person either!

After Li Er and the others left, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou still had no intention of leaving.

"Empress, you should go back and rest too! Regarding the blood test, I hope you can see it clearly; I am not your flesh and blood, and I never will be."

Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes, looking at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou with an indifferent gaze.

"Child, I understand. I will not force you to admit your identity, but you don't have to force me to give up my thoughts."

"Also, the reason I stayed is to tell you that from today on, I will help you take the Great Tang world. As for the matter of Yizhou, I will talk to them personally."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou smiled indifferently; not only was she not dissatisfied, but she was very happy in her heart.

Great!

I can finally help my son.

Isn't it just Yizhou?
