Chapter 181: Fierce Jie Li cruel method
"Khan, this snow disaster, the cattle and sheep in the clan were frozen to death, and we suffered too much loss!
Food may not be enough for winter this year!" In Dingxiang City, in Jieli Palace, a Turkic general spoke.
Jie Li threw away the sheep bones that had not been gnawed in his hand, picked up the big wine glass in front of him and drank it all!
"What are your countermeasures? The national teacher went south and unfortunately died in Chang'an. Is there no capable and stranger in my great Turks?"
At this time, a gray-haired Turkic veteran spoke, "Shank you, in the past years, when we were short of food, we went south to grab the Han people. We were either exchanged with Wang Junkuo from Youzhou. Now that Wang Junkuo is dead, we can only go south!"
Jie Li's face was gloomy and he looked up at the veteran. Then, without everyone's response, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him and smashed it at the veteran!
"Going south to rob? Who will go? Are you going?
It's as stupid as a pig!
Last year, our son lost nearly half of the money, but this year, Yunzhou lost another 5,000 yuan and Chang'an lost another 3,000 yuan!
Is the Han people easy to fight? What should I do if I can’t fight?
Without waiting for a snow disaster, we will be chased by the Han people to destroy the clan. Do you understand?”
Everyone was furious when they looked at Jie Li, but no one dared to refute it. After all, what Khan said was reasonable!
At this time, another old man spoke, "Khan, I heard that there were livestock in the southern Tang Dynasty that were frozen to death. The secret report said that they were not worried about this!"
"Oh? There is something wrong? The south has suffered from drought for several months, so it should be even short of food than us!
You tell me in detail!" Jie Li asked after a shrewd light appeared in his eyes.
"After detailed investigation by subordinates, I found out that they had a good way to preserve meat. It is said that they could use special methods to preserve meat for half a year and still eat it!
However, we can't afford this method, it's very expensive. I heard that it is to apply snow salt all over the raw meat and marinate it to dry!
If you don’t talk about anything else, we can’t afford snow salt!”
Jie Li stood up and kicked him down, "What's the use of the useless method?"
At this time, the veteran spoke again, "General A's method makes sense. The old minister has the idea to get money to buy snow salt!"
"Speak well, I'll forgive you for not guilty!"
"Last year, the Tang envoy came to our Turks to discuss the wool business, but later the two countries had a ferocious relationship, and this matter was never mentioned again!
However, neighboring countries began to trade with the Han people early, and the northern grasslands suffered from this heavy snowfall. It seems that they heard that they had money and food to spend the winter!
It should be the light of selling wool!
So, Khan, we can sell wool to the Tang Dynasty like others! In this way, we will have money and food to spend the winter!"
you!
Jie Li took a few quick steps and wanted to kick him again, but his feet were lifted up, but he still didn't kick him because he knew that everyone thought so about selling wool!
Moreover, the breach of the contract was done by his own prestige. He did not explain this to others. Even if it was explained, it would probably be a large number of people who did not believe it!
Now his method is a good idea, but it is just a way to quench thirst by drinking poison!
"Khan, the old general's words are reasonable! We can discuss business with the Tang Dynasty!
They like wool so much, I have so many grasslands, they are definitely willing to buy it!"
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the palace hall!
"Okay! Ben Khan knows, so let's send Tukro to go!
Let’s talk to the Tang Dynasty well and get the negotiations as soon as possible. We don’t have much time left!”
Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel, the Tang Dynasty also lacks food this year. Although it can make a lot of money to do business with the Turks, His Majesty Li Er is obviously not a good person. He promised to buy Turkish wool, but it will not last until the spring next year!
When General Turkro brought the news back to the Turks, the Turks cursed and scolded the Han people for being insidious, and more of them were talking in their hearts that it was caused by Jie Li!
Half a month later, the Turks suffered heavy snow that had not been seen for many years. The disaster had covered half of the Turks' area. Jie Li could no longer sit in Dingxiang. Although he was operating in Dingxiang more prosperously and comfortably, as a promising monarch, he should still be with his people during the disaster!
Back at the Northern Eastern Turkic Court, Jie Li looked at his subordinates, all the leaders of various tribes, with a gloomy face and no words!
"Khan, 30% of our cattle and sheep have frozen to death until now. The people are worried about food this year. It is expected that at least 10% of the food rations will become a problem!
This is not the case with the huge snow disaster this year. Many poor people will be unable to withstand the severe cold and freeze to death!” Turkro said sadly.
"Sweat, we must deal with the frozen animals as soon as possible, otherwise if the great devil is attracted, the dilemma will be in by then!
The Tang people were unwilling to sell us snow salt that could handle meat, so we could only burn and landfill these frozen animals in the old way!" A middle-aged leader spoke.
The great devil in the north is called this, but only the grassland people call it. In fact, it is a plague! Generally, the frozen cattle and sheep are not handled properly. When the weather warms up, the plague will be dispersed. First of all, the livestock that endangers the grassland will die inexplicably. In severe cases, it will also be transmitted to people, causing the emergence of human plague. On the grassland, the great devil is definitely a weapon of killing, a weapon of killing the clan!
Hearing this person’s reminder, Jie Li’s eyes were filled with hatred, which was very good! Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, since you don’t give him a way out, then everyone should not think about it!
“No, we won’t burn and landfill this year!
Send people to be careful to move all the frozen animals that cannot be eaten to the south border!
Since we Turks are afraid of the great devil, the Tang Dynasty must be afraid too. If they don’t buy and sell us for life, then don’t think about it!”
Everyone looked at Jie Li Khan at this time and felt a chill on their backs, but there were also those impulsive and angry people shouting that Khan was wise!
"Khan, is it inappropriate to do this? If the great devil is triggered, our tribe members will also be infectious!" veteran Turkro said worriedly!
Jie Li shook his head, "No, no, no, we won't. After throwing all the animals to the south, we will move northward with our clans. Also, this time we have insufficient food, so we will leave the old and weak to the south to confuse the Han people, so don't let them discover our northward migration!
Humph! This is Ben Khan’s kindness, so he did not use his sword to them. If it were in the past, in such a disaster year, these old and weak would be the targets of Ben Khan’s slaughter!
What is the purpose of keeping something that will not create wealth and only consume food?
Whoever dares to chase after me will be killed without mercy!
Who dares to reveal our whereabouts and kill us without mercy!”
Hearing this order, everyone looked at each other. Many people felt a little reluctant, but no one came out to object!
Killing the elderly and weak on the grassland to save food and grass is an ancient tradition, and everyone does this!
But this time, I created a great devil for the south and threw the old and weak over again. I am afraid that one is not good, and there will be a great devil in the whole country in the south!
This is Zhao Deyan's death. If he does not die, he should come out to stop Jie Li's crazy behavior. The war can be controlled. But if the plague breaks out in full swing, the grassland is now doing business with the Tang Dynasty, where can the Turks escape?
