It was strange that Xue Yantuo's generals didn't see what they wanted to see. Shouldn't they fight each other and have conflicts about the distribution of interests?

Perhaps it was to show them a show, but forty thousand war horses exceeded their bottom line. So many war horses, their general tribes could not produce so many.

The negotiations continued until the next day Xue Yantuo was willing to give out 30,000 war horses, and no more could be added.

It will be very embarrassing to allocate 30,000 war horses. After all, no one wants to share less of them, but Xue Yantuo's people are still really unable to hold back in negotiations.

Thirty thousand war horses were always a very strong force in Tang State.

Li Shimin and Li Yuanji agreed to the conditions for their negotiations, and there is no need to discuss what happened next now.

General Xue Yantuo agreed otherwise they would all be delayed. If the other party used a delaying strategy and then the number of additional personnel came, they would really not want to leave alone.

After they had this idea, they agreed very simply, but they had to wait until they left Tang State before they could fulfill their conditions, and both sides agreed.

But to be on the safe side, they were deducted five thousand of their war horses first.

From this point of view, Li Shimin is very experienced. No matter what he talks about, he can't let himself suffer any losses. He will leave five thousand war horses first, and even if the other party regrets it, they will not lose.

If you really want to fight for cavalry, just think about it, so they won’t do that.

Li Yuanji didn't say who asked Li Shimin to fight him first, but he made up for the losses in the battle first.

The troops from the three sides left according to the same route.

Li Yuan was waiting for the border war report in Chang'an, and he didn't know what was going on.

All the civil and military officials in the court were nervous. The barbarians invaded may not be the one who was unlucky. The nobles of aristocrats were even more frightened, and they were most afraid of losses.

I also specially arranged a lot of servants. In the past few days, the number of servants employed by the aristocratic family is large, and if they add up, there will be at least thousands of people.

This is how insecurity is, but this solves the needs of thousands of people for meals.

The battle report was delivered to Chang'an after half a month.

When Li Yuan saw the great victory of the Wagang cavalry, he had driven Xue Yantuo's 100,000 cavalry out of the Tang State. The crisis is now lifted, and Li Shimin mentioned in the war report that he would return.

Li Yuan felt a little worried, so he sent someone to deliver his letter to Shuofang. Because he was worried that Xue Yantuo's people would make a comeback, he asked the Wagang Cavalry to hold on to Shuofang for three months, and would deliver them in time as long as the food and grass needs were needed.

Li Shimin did not refuse, and it was in his interest to garrison in Shuofang.

Just half a month ago, after sending away Xue Yantuo's cavalry, he did not pursue, but entered Shuofang City with Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji changed a lot. He managed 50,000 cavalry alone in Shuofang. He couldn't do it himself.

But Li Yuanji did it, and without the knowledge of the gods, his father didn't know this at all.

After Li Yuanji returned to Shuofang, he told Li Shimin about the matter and hoped that they could join forces in secret.

Li Shimin is such a smart person who can understand after listening to the matter, he realized that they are all fighting for their ideals. If they can really cooperate, it would be really OK.

So without knowing it, the two brothers conducted a secret spy, and no one knew the specific content except the two.

Anyway, since then, it is no different from usual.

After Xue Yantuo's cavalry left the Tang Kingdom in a panic, they were very unwilling to accept it. They believed that this failure was due to bad luck and happened to encounter the enemy's troops.

But they did not mention that if they were not so aggressive and did a preliminary investigation, such a thing would not have happened. In addition, their greed made them lose their minds and eventually caused them to suffer heavy losses.

But this matter must not be forgotten. After all, they have to make up for the 40,000 war horses they have lost, otherwise it would be a dead end to wait for them to end.

The war can be defeated, but it cannot be so cowardly that the interests of Xueyantuo tribe are damaged. The result of losing 40,000 war horses is that the Tang Kingdom has increased its strength.

So they had to recover all these losses, with the target being the 36 countries in the Western Regions. This loss made them no longer have any concerns.

Half a month later, Gaochang, Yiwu and other small countries suffered huge losses, especially Gaochang's soldiers, armor and horses were all robbed.

From a country with some strength to a small tribe, it is no longer a new thing among the three and six countries in the Western Regions.

Instead, the thirty-six countries paid attention to Xueyantuo, which made them rare to unite against powerful foreign enemies.

It is precisely because the trade routes in the Western Regions have become unsafe, and there have been no caravans to trade in the thirty-six countries for a long time, which has caused their lives and economy to stagnate again.

Caravans make money, and merchants and people from the thirty-six countries will also make money by selling goods, and most of them will be purchased.

In order to make more money, more goods were prepared specifically for merchants who came and went, and they would suffer great losses if the merchants did not come.

All of this is because of Xue Yantuo's banditry, so the thirty-six countries can be said to be united for the sake of interests.

In particular, locally grown cotton was specially protected. Fortunately, these cottons are an ornamental effect in people's eyes. If they knew that these cottons that they believed had no value could earn a lot of wealth for them, they would probably not think so.

Xueyantuo's cavalry ignored these plants and did not feel much about the extra cotton flowers on the land of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

They are all very realistic, why do things without profit?

Fortunately, the cotton field was not lost.

This is also the reason why the thirty-six countries united, because all of these countries planted a large amount of cotton and were waiting for the merchants to harvest.

If the adventurers in Youzhou do not show up, they will suffer huge losses and will hate Xue Yantuo's robbery.

The adventurers of the Tang Kingdom naturally did not forget that they had a cotton purchase business. They only heard that Shuofang was attacked by Xueyantuo cavalry and the Western Regions' commercial road was dangerous. Youzhou City Guardian specially released this matter and persuaded the caravan adventurers to go there.

It was not mandatory, but the Chamber of Commerce still made efforts. Many merchants who wanted to go to trade later gave up their thoughts.

Li De had a plan for Xue Yantuo's affairs, and he had to collect cotton from the Western Regions, and he had to do this just for cotton.

The value of cotton is essential in the process of economic development. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation should be solved one by one first.

With cotton, you can make cotton cloth. It is a better choice for making clothes or making quilts, and the cost of dressing for the people will be greatly reduced.

Medical consumables made of cotton are essential, such as medical cotton, cotton yarn straps, and are also used in kerosene lamps.
