Chapter 953 (1/2)

In the hearts of Saleh and others, the purpose of Li Hong's career was to bury seeds that allowed them to continue to fight with each other, fight openly and secretly, and continue to separate the vassal states and fight incessantly.

Therefore, when he and Saleh bet with Saleh on who Li Cheng would prefer in the future, Li Hong did not hesitate to take the city of Ji Ling as a bet. If Li Cheng fell for Dashi, Li Hong was willing to offer his hands to the land nearly 100 miles east of the city, and even allow Dashi to expand its territory to the four towns in Anxi.

And if Li Cheng is still steadfast as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, then the kordo family will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Dashi royal family. The vast territory 300 Li west of the Jiling city will belong to the Tang Dynasty!

This also makes the fragrance of tea, even Li Lingyue, Li Xian and others feel stunned and unimaginable. It is the first time that they see that they bet on their own territory and sign a contract if they are willing to gamble and admit defeat.

For Li Lingyue and Li Xian, this contract may not have any value or reference value, but for Saleh and others, the meaning is completely different.

Whether it is Saleh or Hassan, or Sudan, including Zubair of kordo family, who has always been close to the Tang Dynasty, it is completely impossible to recognize the value of this contract.

However, the so-called ”happy and sad” gambling contract, which seems careless, extremely irresponsible and playful, has given Saleh the confidence to look up to the sky and laugh. It also provides Zubair with a meaningful but stable reassurance.

What the contract conveyed to Zubair was that, no matter Anxi of the Tang Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the most important emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the contract was still in force, then Saleh and his father avier were the orthodoxy of Dashi, and naturally the Tang Dynasty would not give up and continue to support the kordo family.

Therefore, if the Sudan united with Hassan and wanted to destroy Saleh together, it would give Zubair in the east of Dashi and the supporting forces behind him to attack them in the Tang Dynasty and give them a good reason to be loyal to the king and the emperor of Qing Dynasty.

Under the contract signed between Li Hong and Saleh, Dashi's current chaos is more like a support for the legitimacy of Saleh's royal family and a warning to Sudan and Hassan.

As long as the Tang Dynasty has always acknowledged the existence of this gambling agreement, the royal family of Saleh, although it can not fully take the initiative in the situation of disputes among the princes, will never go to extinction, because the extinction means that the cordo family may become the ultimate beneficiary with the support of the Tang Dynasty.

Another reason why the contract made Sudan want to cry without tears and Hassan's face gloomy and heavy was that, given the existence of the contract, as long as Li Hong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, nodded, the two of them, Saleh in the West and Zubair in the East, could reach a consensus, and then attack Sudan and Hassan from the left and right.

Hassan is confident that he can find a life under the dual pressure of Zubair and Saleh, and find the invincibility of the family. However, the premise is that the iron hoofs and guns of the Tang Dynasty will not intervene.

Sudan, on the other hand, is not so lucky. As long as Saleh and Zubair attack each other, the weakest Sudan will be the first to resist the two-sided attack.

So this contract, and the seemingly playful bet, put Dashi in an unprecedented predicament. Li Hong regarded the contract as a contract between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty. Then Hassan and Sudan could not unite, and Hassan could not destroy the orthodox royal family of Dashi on the strength of his family, unless he thought he was strong enough to resist Heng Keduo family, as well as the Tang Dynasty, even add a poor bug: Sudan.

However, Saleh was also constrained by the fact that once the superior, powerful and unreasonable, was no different from bandits, bandits and horse thieves, Li Hong, who gave up the existence and value of the contract and denied the meaning of the contract. In a word, then Saleh's days would have to go back to the past and be ravaged by Sudan and Hassan in turn Once again, they are in a miserable situation.

Therefore, the contract was like shackles and handcuffs to the four big families of Dashi, which constrained them to stabilize the current situation and not to expand their power. Meanwhile, Dashi was in a state of fragmentation until Li Cheng, king of Jiling, arrived at the fiefdom of Jiling city.

At least the four people of Dashi can see that this is a big food Empire created by Li Hong for his son, the future king of Jiling. There is no big war and no small war. As a result, they have to concentrate on another crucial decisive battle after nearly ten years.
