Chapter 637 Taking Advantage
By the time the fourth and fifth secret letters were delivered, Qin Yang was able to "piece together" everything.
"It seems that the king of Tubo wants to recruit some foreigners as cannon fodder."
Cheng Yaojin just got a miniature sand table, and he was in a good mood, even if he heard the news, it didn't affect his good mood.
He said to Qin Yang: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that these alien races will not be willing to be cannon fodder."
If the Tubo king had conscripted troops at the beginning, these aliens might not have been dissatisfied.
Because at that time, many people thought that the Tubo army had the advantage against the defenders of Shangyouzhou.
In this case, following to Youzhou is not to be cannon fodder, but to fight for the fruits of victory.
If the Tubo king conscripted troops after winning the victory, the effect would be the same.
Only at this moment, when this kind of conscription is blocked by the Youzhou checkpoint and cannot advance or retreat, anyone who is not stupid can see that this is a deliberate recruitment of foreigners as cannon fodder.
They are all being used as cannon fodder, how can they be willing?
Qin Yang also felt that those alien races would not be happy, but it was one thing for them not to be happy, but it was another matter whether they were willing to resist Tubo.
"These alien races, even if they are unwilling, they dare not resist the Tubo king. At least, they will not choose to stand in line at this time." Qin Yang said leisurely.
After speaking, he took a sip of tea leisurely.
Cheng Yaojin frowned, and said with a sneer: "These alien races are always cunning! They just want to see who wins in the end, so they can vote for that winner again!"
However, there are too many tribes, big and small, of those alien races, and it would be really troublesome if they went to crusade one by one.
Just like a group of ants, even if an elephant is bitten by an ant, it is impossible to trample all the ants to death, not because it is impossible, but because it is too troublesome and not worthwhile!
Probably this is also the reason why those foreign races did not choose Datang, but fell to the Tubo people first.
It was nothing more than a response to the sentence: "It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain."
The "gentleman" here refers to Datang.
And the "little man" naturally refers to the Tubo people.
They didn't dare to become enemies with the Tubo people, and felt that even if they didn't fall to Tang Dynasty immediately, Tang Dynasty would not be held accountable by the law, and it was impossible to wipe out all the small countries and tribes around them!
Even if one or two tribes are angered, the rest are at least safe.
And those one or two unlucky ones, with so many choices, may not be themselves!
The leaders of all tribes and small countries probably thought this way, so they stood on the side of the more cruel Tubo in the two big games.
Qin Yang put down the teacup and said lightly, "Don't worry, they will regret it."
It is true that it is impossible for Datang, or even the local government of Youzhou, to wipe out all the surrounding small countries and tribes.
But there is no way to destroy the opponent, but it does not mean that one or two tribes who are a little "sensible" cannot be benefited.
It's like raising animals. If you are sensible and obedient, you can give some food rewards.
If you are disobedient, go hungry.
The same is true for these small countries and tribes. Although he can't "kill" them or "drive away" them, he can let them see "food", but they can't eat it.
This method was actually inspired by the "communication" between some countries in later generations.
Anyway, no matter whether it exists in this era or not, this method should still work.
Just work.
Cheng Yaojin didn't know what the king of Youzhou thought of, but after he came to Youzhou, he had seen a lot of the magic of the king of Youzhou, and he was full of confidence in the king of Youzhou.
Since King Youzhou said this, it means that King Youzhou indeed has a way to make these aliens regret.
For Cheng Yaojin, it is enough to confirm this point.
He is one of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, so he is naturally not a soft-hearted person, but he does find it difficult to solve the problems of these alien races.It's great for Cheng Yaojin that someone can handle this matter better!
"Since Your Majesty has a solution, I can rest assured, Old Cheng!" Cheng Yaojin sighed.
"It is said that we should be generous and merciful, so our attitude towards these alien races has always been quite good! In the end, it has raised their minds! If we don't treat them well, it will appear that our Tang Dynasty is afraid of them. They are gone! What kind of ants are too many to kill elephants... Are they worthy?"
Cheng Yaojin's attitude made Qin Yang couldn't help laughing.
However, what Cheng Yaojin said was also what he thought.
The fact is just as Qin Yang speculated, those alien races did not even have a single one who dared to resist the Tubo king in the days to come, and all the tribes and even the small countries sent some soldiers.
Most of them were slaves, but there were also a small number of tribes and small countries who sent elite soldiers.
All these information fell into Qin Yang's hands one by one.
As for the tribes and small countries that sent elite soldiers, Qin Yang put them directly in the ranks that must be wiped out in the future.
And the rest of those who send out slaves and are perfunctory will need to be beaten in the future.
In addition, some tribal leaders were obviously dissatisfied with the Tubo king. After sending out some slaves, they were persuaded by the caravan sent by Qin Yang.
"Are you actually planning to defect at a critical moment? The leader of the party clan is quite decisive." Cheng Yaojin came over again, and after hearing about this incident, he also read the secret letter and raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
After they received so many messages before, they were surprised to find that someone dared to contact Datang secretly.
Qin Yang threw the secret letter in his hand aside, and said: "It's time to deal with the matter here, but we can let the people of this tribe develop."
Didn't he intend to set an example in the future for other alien races to see, and at the critical moment, the alien race who chose Datang would get any preferential treatment?
As long as those alien races are envious and jealous, if similar things happen again, the number of alien races that will fall directly to Datang will definitely increase!
This is the way to lead!
As a person who has only been king of Youzhou for a few years, Qin Yang is very proficient in this kind of thing. Probably, this is also due to the fact that he is the son of a merchant.
Qin Yang even teased himself like this to Cheng Yaojin, but Cheng Yaojin felt that this was the embryonic form of the king's way of being a king.
"Why do you have to be humble? When it comes to the way of being a king, you already have your own way of doing things at such a young age. If other kings know about it, they will definitely envy you."
In many cases, when dealing with border-related issues, most people in this era are actually more used to it: just do it if you don’t accept it!
Although they can also use conspiracies and tricks, they can also use overt schemes, but compared to those that have been passed down through the ages, most of them are rude and straightforward.
