Chapter 302: Tubo [Asking for Subscription]
At this time, at the Tianzhu border, Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance crossed the mountains all the way and came to the vicinity of the Tianzhu border.
Because this time Xuanzang was not smuggled out of the country, but had the customs clearance documents of the Tang Dynasty.
So the road was unimpeded, and it didn't take that long to detour.
came directly to Tianzhu.
When you get here, you naturally have to take good care of your body.
So, Master Xuanzang took a bath in the Ganges, and then opened the bag he had carried all the way with great interest, wanting to change into a new robe.
When he opened his bag, he was stunned.
Where's my robe?
Where did my robe go?
At this time, Master Xuanzang saw that the robe he had carefully prepared was gone.
In its place was a robe of the Tao.
The whole person is stupid, okay?
At this time, Master Xuanzang turned his head to look at Wang Xuance, who was roasting the fire on the side.
There was a blush on his face, and he had already seen Wang Xuance burn the monk's robe he had just taken off.
In other words, there are only two paths in front of him.
The first is to put on a robe and seek Mahayana Buddhism, and the second is to seek Mahayana Buddhism naked.
Wearing a robe to seek Buddhist scriptures, isn't this finding fault?
I'm afraid that if I can't find Mahayana Buddhism, I will be beaten.
If you are naked, this is ......
Master Xuanzang didn't know what to say for a while.
"Wang Xuance! Thou ......"
Master Xuanzang was already so angry that he was about to smoke at this time.
Wang Xuance, this guy is really lacking in morality.
This kind of thing is actually done.
Along the way, he was silent, didn't say anything, and worked hard.
I thought I had influenced this person, but I didn't expect this guy to give himself a backstab.
Just make yourself creepy, and you don't know what to do.
At this time, Wang Xuance raised his head slightly, squinted at Master Xuanzang, and then said, "If there is anything unpleasant, say it, how uncomfortable is it in your heart?"
If you say it, Lao Tzu will be happy, and maybe he will find you a robe.
Along the way, you talk about you dead bald donkey, every day the wooden fish knocks until midnight, and early in the morning.
Lao Tzu has long been annoyed by you to death, if it weren't for Lao Tzu having a task and ensuring your safety, Lao Tzu would have killed you with a knife while you were sleeping!
Bastard thing, forget if you don't sleep, you have to disturb me to rest, I can't bear it, I'm here today, let's go our separate ways! ”
Wang Xuance roared angrily directly, and then left directly resentfully.
There was no souvenir at all, and at this time, his long-suppressed mood was relieved.
After taking revenge on Master Xuanzang for his noise during this time, Wang Xuance's whole person became refreshed.
I feel comfortable all over my body.
Seeing Wang Xuance's departure, Master Xuanzang was directly dumbfounded.
I'm also wrong in reciting the scriptures?
I'm a universal being, is that wrong?
Didn't you?
This person should have been too deep into the demons, the poor monk's Dharma is not profound enough, and he has not been able to influence this person, which is the fault of the poor monk!
It seems that I should seek Mahayana Buddhism as soon as possible, so that I may be able to influence this person by relying on Mahayana Buddhism.
Master Xuanzang thought about it, so he tore the robe, then covered the important part of his body, and then resolutely made a pilgrimage to Tianzhu.
Wang Xuance didn't want to care about Master Xuanzang's affairs at all at this time.
Along the way, he was thinking about how and how this task should be done.
This task of his is too difficult, how easy is it to destroy a country by one person?
Datang doesn't need a single soldier, and if he wants to destroy Tianzhu, this is simply an impossible task.
It's so hard!
In particular, he is a civilian official, although he has a bit of force value, but this force value is completely negligible.
In this case, of course, he can't hold a kitchen knife alone, cut the south from the north, and then from the south to the north, and cut the entire Tianzhu over, right?
This kind of thing, even if the overlord is alive, it is estimated that it will not be able to do it.
Wang Xuance thought all the way, thought of countless methods, and carefully scrutinized countless times.
So Wang Xuance along the way was a stuffy gourd, and he didn't communicate with Master Xuanzang at all.
All this time, he was thinking about a way, and countless ways were vetoed and overturned by him, and finally he chose a safe way.
That's borrowing soldiers!
Only by borrowing troops can we break this game.
Without soldiers and horses in hand, it is impossible to destroy a country.
If you want to borrow troops, you have to have a good reason.
There must also be a suitable candidate, now near Tianzhu, the only ones who can provide him with soldiers and horses are Nibora and Tubo, and the rest of the places are far away and the water cannot save the near fire.
Ni Bora and Tianzhu border, the two sides have a conflict of interest, the soldiers and horses here are easy to borrow, borrowing troops to curry favor with the Tang Dynasty, for Ni Bora is harmless.
But in the case of Tubo, it is a bit difficult, because there is a huge mountain range between Tubo and Tianzhu, and there is no conflict of interest between the two, but there has been constant friction between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo over the years.
If you want to borrow troops, it's a bit difficult.
However, at this time, if you can take this opportunity to deal with all this, maybe there will be a little chance.
Anyway, there are not too many soldiers and horses, as long as there are soldiers and horses, Wang Xuance has the confidence to do all this.
He already knew his mission, so in addition to thinking about how to complete it, he also read a lot of military books these days.
The theory of the art of war has been mastered, and the only thing lacking now is practice.
Whether it is on paper or not, we can only test the waters in a war.
Wang Xuance has the confidence to win, because he firmly believes that the art of war in the Tang Dynasty for so many years is not known to these Tianzhu people, and the strategy is also very unfamiliar, in such a situation, he will definitely be able to succeed with one blow.
As long as he can win, regardless of the means and process, all he has to do is to decide the winner in a fight.
The most important thing in this battle is to borrow soldiers, if you can't borrow soldiers, then everything is delusional.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuance went directly to Tubo to borrow troops, naturally he first went to Tubo to borrow troops, borrowed Tubo's soldiers and horses, and then went to Nibora to borrow troops.
Those people who were far away in Chang'an City naturally didn't know what was happening on the border of Tianzhu, and Chang'an City was still very peaceful at this time, and everything was developing rapidly.
Li Shimin led the imperial doctors to study the medicinal effects of locusts, and Sun Simiao also joined in, all of which are developing in a beautiful direction.
The drought and locust plague did not break the peace of Chang'an City, with Qin Jue's food, this huge disaster directly turned into invisible.
Li Shimin was in the imperial study at this time, flipping through this report from the Western Regions spies.
This report is quite attractive to Li Shimin, because it mentions a country.
Tibetan!
At this time, civil strife broke out in Tibet!
This is an excellent opportunity for Datang.
If you send troops to Tibet at this time, you will definitely be able to settle the situation with one blow!
If there was no grain from Qin Yu, Li Shimin would definitely not have this idea.
Now that Qin Jue's grain is backed, this disaster is no longer a disaster, so Li Shimin has an impulse to step on Tubo.
O Tibet!
That's a lot of land!
The most important thing is that this land, from ancient times to the present, has not been included in the territory of an emperor.
If this place is included in the territory, then I will not be far from the first emperor of the ages, and besides, I will be the emperor of the people!
This emperor of the ages can't pass, how to be this emperor?
Li Shimin's mind became active, and he had a little impulse for this.
But who is to fight this war?
Li Shimin's mind crossed several figures, Li Jing, Li Tao, Cheng Biting Jin...... These old figures flashed by, and in the end, the faces of Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui appeared in Li Shimin's mind.
"Xuanyao Master and Mao Gong have a visit."
Li Shimin turned his head and said to the waiter on the side, and the waiter went down, and after a while, Li Jing and Li Tao came over.
At this time, Li Shimin looked at this report, and the more he read it, the more comfortable he felt.
After Li Jing and Li Tao came over, Li Shimin directly handed the report to them and said: "Pharmacist, Mao Gong, you take a look, and after reading it, you will all talk about your opinions." ”
Li Jing watched it first, and frowned after reading it.
Li Tao also glanced at it, and then his eyes narrowed.
Li Shimin saw the different expressions of these two people, and asked quietly, "What do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is not possible."
Li Tao said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the natural disasters for many years have forced the people to abandon the fields and abandon the peasants and workers, if Your Majesty is waging war, the people will be miserable!" At this time, Datang needs to recuperate, not recklessly! ”
Li Shimin didn't say anything about this, the expression on his face didn't change, he looked at Li Jing and asked, "Pharmacist, what do you think?" ”
Li Jing looked up at Li Shimin, and after a while, he said: "This matter should be cautious, Your Majesty, the Tubo State is not very easy to fight, and this matter should be considered in the long run." ”
After Li Shimin heard this, he immediately said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I want to give it a try!" I called you over today, not to ask if you could fight, but to ask how you did it. ”
"Your Majesty, no!"
Li Tao said directly: "With such a reckless army, the people will be miserable!" This is an unjust war, Your Majesty be cautious! ”
Li Tao is quite eager, if this kind of thing is done, it will not be of any benefit to Li Shimin, and the Tubo country is simply a piece of chicken ribs, and it will be fought down tiringly, what can it do?
It doesn't have any effect at all, it's better to think about how to completely conquer Lingnan, it's better to think about how to knock down those places in the south, Tubo country, this kind of chicken ribs, what are you doing when you knock it down?
"Mao Gong, you don't need to say more, I have made up my mind."
Li Shimin said: "I don't need to recruit soldiers, I am ready to send only 3,000 soldiers, Shubao is in command, Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui are the vanguards of the left and right, leading 3,000 troops to attack Tubo, what do you think?" ”
"Shhh
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tao and Li Jing suddenly gasped.
What is this for?
Both of them are already confused, there is nothing wrong with this Qin Qiong being in charge, and there is nothing wrong with Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui being pioneers, but this leads three thousand?
Teasing us?
Do you want to conquer Tibet?
You're giving a head to Tibet, right?
Can these 3,000 people defeat Tibet?
Isn't that a joke?
If 3,000 people could conquer Tibet, this Tibet would have been included in the territory of the previous dynasty.
What are you kidding?
After hearing this, Li Jing and Li Tao almost laughed.
However, Li Jing and Li Tao turned their heads and thought about it, this Li Shimin is not an emperor who does not understand military affairs.
He had been fighting since he was sixteen years old, how could he not see through this?
Could it be that there is something we haven't discovered?
Li Jing and Li Tao were confused.
Qin Qiong and the others still know that Cheng Chumo is Cheng Yanjin's son, and they also know that Xue Rengui has been learning the art of war with Li Shimin, and they also know it.
There is nothing special about these three people.
Could it be that these 3,000 people are very powerful?
Each of them is a ten-like existence?
Can these 3,000 people be used as 30,000?
Impossible, right?
Even if it can be used as 30,000 people, but on the territory of Tibet.
People in Datang are prone to accidents, especially when fighting, and it is easy to die inexplicably.
These things are recorded in some military books, and Tubo is not an easy place to fight.
"Your Majesty, did you know that there is a curse in the country of Tibet, which is specifically aimed at outsiders?"
Li Tao said to Li Shimin: "These things have to be taken into account!" ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately laughed and said to Li Tao: "Mao Gong, you don't have to say these sensational things, I already know about this matter.
This is not a curse, but a symptom called altitude sickness, which is out of the way.
You just need to get used to that environment. ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Altitude sickness? Why? ”
"I also heard from the prince that this world is full of qi that we can't see, and there is something called oxygen in these qi, which people need to live.
The higher the place, the less oxygen there is, and the person will be starved of oxygen, just like strangulation. ”
After Li Shimin finished saying this, Li Tao and Li Jing suddenly widened their eyes, is this altitude sickness?
Is it so outrageous?
Oxygen?
After Li Jing and Li Tao glanced at each other, the two of them shook their heads blankly, these things are really too difficult for them, they don't understand these things at all.
It's just that Li Shimin said this, it should be true.
If this matter can be solved, bring the elite soldiers who can be used as ten, maybe there is really a way to capture Tibet.
But the vast and sparsely populated land of Tibet, and the protection of the Sea of Death, is a very difficult bone to gnaw!
This bone is so hard!
