Duan Lun said lazily: "What's the hurry? It's better to let the stubborn mind come and see us in person. ”

"Whoa."

Duan Lun turned over and dismounted, sitting on the grass and enjoying the sun.

His Majesty has not said anything about sending troops into the Turks.

Duan Lun could more or less guess what His Majesty was thinking.

Duan Lun said to the herald on the side: "Go down, catch a hundred sheep, and we will all eat mutton tonight." ”

"But now that the Turkic war is urgent, there is a shortage of cattle and sheep, and we also have our own dry food."

Duan Lun sneered and said: "Now that the Turks are short of food, don't let them be anxious, how can you let the stubbornness come to the door, eat them and drink theirs now." ”

"Whoa."

Tubo, satisfied with the heart, let a few Tubo people send words to the Tubo camp.

Songtsen Gampo, who was planning how to capture the Gobi, heard the words of the visitor, "Is that really what Chengxin said?" ”

"That's right, now the price of grain in Guanzhong is rising, and it is said that the price is what Li Zhengding is ordered by Chang'an today, sixty yuan a bucket."

"Sixty dollars a bucket! Li Zheng is robbing money! Lu Dongzan said angrily.

"In the words of the people of Guanzhong, this is a robbery while the fire is burning."

"That's right!" Lu Dongzan nodded and said, "Zampu, we must not let Li Zheng succeed." ”

Although the war has eased these days, the Western Turks are not so easy to deal with.

The Tibetan people who sent the words said: "I am satisfied and have words to send." ”

Lu Dongzan shouted with a black face: "Say! ”

"Satisfactory said that most of the grain in Guanzhong is in Li Zheng's hands now, and many people want to buy the grain in Li Zheng's hands, including the Turks and Xue Yantuo, and now the Western Turks, the East Turks, and Xue Yantuo all have to buy grain from Li Zheng."

Songtsen Gampo frowned and thought.

Lu Dongzan knelt down on one knee and said to Songtsen Gampo: "Zanpu, Li Zheng is using this to ask for a sky-high price, we must not fall for his evil!" ”

Songtsen Gampo said in a low voice: "Now that the Western Turks are at war, the Eastern Turks are also at war, Xue Yantuo looks eager to try, Xue Yantuo and the Eastern Turks have long had grievances, this time even if Li Zheng asks for a price, what can we do with him?!" ”

Lu Dongzan said anxiously: "It's a big deal, we usually eat less." ”

Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice: "Lu Dongzan, if we can not buy it, we will be bought by the Western Turks, and if we buy more, it will also weaken the strength of the Western Turks." ”

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "But this will fulfill Li Zheng's conspiracy." ”

Songtsen Gampo said with a tired face: "What kind of conspiracy is this, this is Li Zheng's conspiracy, so we have to buy it, now there is not much food in Tibet, in order to send troops has requisitioned so much food, if it is requisitioned, the situation of painstaking management may fall apart, and those old nobles in Tubo are still thieves." ”

"Report!"

A Tibetan warrior came with a letter, "Letter from the Western Turkic National Teacher!" ”

Songtsen Gampo took the letter and scolded angrily: "This Western Turkic national teacher! ”

"What did he say?"

Songtsen Gampo handed the letter to Lu Dongzan, "The Turkic national teacher said that after the defeat of the Eastern Turks, it will be the end of our Tibet, as long as he calls him a righteous father, he can consider leaving us a whole corpse." ”

Lu Dongzan threw the parchment roll on the ground and stepped on it vigorously, "One day, I will also break the body of this Western Turkic national teacher into ten thousand pieces." ”

"Zampu, Great! Our spies have ascertained that the Western Turks seem to have been transporting a lot of things from the direction of Longyou into the Western Turkic territory recently. ”

Songtsen Gampo asked with an awe-inspiring expression, "What is it!" ”

"I don't know very well, but it looks like it's grain, it's a lot, and it looks like hundreds of thousands of stones."

Hearing this, Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth and ordered the Tubo people who had sent a message to the heart: "Send the word to the heart, and say that we bought it in Tibet!" Sixty dollars a bucket! Tubo doesn't want 200,000 stones, but 400,000 stones! ”

Lu Dongzan grabbed the sleeve of Songtsan Gampo and said nervously: "What if Li Zheng increases the price again?" ”

"It's too much of a deception! If he dares to raise the price again, we will fight Datang! The Western Turks are only a few days, and we are not too late to Tibet, and the fish are dead and the net is broken! ”

After saying that, Songtsen Gampo sat down again in a deflated manner, this time taking out tens of thousands of yuan, and the money saved over the years was spent like flowing water.

After calming down, Songtsen Gampo said to Lu Dongzan: "This time, we will reward the land for the prize business. ”

"Land?"

"Didn't the old aristocracy always want land? Then let them come up with the money. ”

Songtsen Gampo was already in a hurry, and began to loot money with Caipiao's sales.

Half a month later, Li Zheng was feeding the horses in Jingyang and listened to Xu Jingzong's report.

After sorting out the forage, Li Zheng said: "So, this time Songtsen Gampo not only did not refuse, but asked for more?" ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Maybe this is a strange commodity to live in, and now all parties outside the border are rushing to buy the grain of Chang'anling." ”

Li Zheng was worried about the mountain of grain in the distance and said, "Songtsen Gampo wants a lot. ”

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Food is limited, if it is bought by both the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks, there will be less Tibet. ”

Li Zheng wrote another letter, fighting the Eastern Turks to fight hard, and the fight against Tibet can loosen some mouths.

After writing it, Li Zheng handed the letter to Xu Jingzong and said: "This letter is handed over to Mo Zhi, he knows what to do." ”

Xu Jingzong solemnly accepted the letter.

Li Zheng continued: "Tell Xiangxin to let him take a group of Tibetan soldiers and horses to fight the Western Turks, and after reading my letter, he will cooperate, let go and retreat, and let Xiangxin help Tubo win a battle." ”

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Does the Chang'an Order mean to make meritorious contributions and gain the trust of Songtsen Gampo?" ”

"Songtsen Gampo is a smart man, he will not easily believe in satisfaction, even if satisfaction helps Tubo win a battle, Songtsen Gampo may not necessarily believe in satisfaction."

"Isn't that for nothing?"

Li Zheng drank tea and said, "Songtsan Gampo is smart, what do you think of Lu Dongzan." ”

Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said: "Lu Dongzan is a villain who holds grudges, but this person has a simple brain and has no calculations. ”

"That's not it, Songtsen Gampo is followed by Lu Dongzan, sometimes it is not necessary to gain the trust of Songtsen Gampo, and the effect of obtaining the most trusted person around Songtsen Gampo will actually be better."

After thinking about Li Zheng's approach, Xu Jingzong gasped, "At that time, Lu Dongzan believes in satisfaction, and Songtsan cadres are suspicious of symmetry, maybe this will make Tubo have internal estrangement, and will make Lu Dongzan have other views on Songtsan cadres?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Xu Jingzong arched his hand and said: "Chang'an Ling is smart! ”

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Today's negotiation has reached such a big deal, Tubo is generous!" I have to buy 400,000 stone at once, and we will eat pork tonight. ”

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said, "Is there braised pork?" ”

"Yes!"
