0652 Only suffer from short-term ambitions, and meritorious deeds will be rewarded

"The Tang Dynasty actually went to war with the State of Fan again?"

When the monarch of the vassal country heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, and looked at Guo Yuanzhen suspiciously, some unwilling to believe it, or unable to understand it.

Although there are many news in his country, he also knows that Tubo has defeated the Tang Dynasty in several major wars.

As a vassal of Tibet, in order to establish its strong and invincible prestige, Tubo naturally wants to focus on publicizing several majestic deeds of defeating the Tang Dynasty among its vassal tribes. After all, in the current era, Datang is synonymous with strength and prosperity.

Seeing the expression of the Earth King, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but sneer and said: "My Tang Dynasty was founded in the center of heaven and earth, with a profound heritage and control over all ethnic groups. In previous years, when our monarchs and ministers did not know that their thieves were vicious, they went out to plunder and strengthen themselves, and the thieves were disturbed, and our emperor sent a division to attack it, although it was slightly defeated, but it was also true that the thieves were indeed strong.

In the past few years, the heroine of the country, the Holy Emperor, was in charge, resting with the people, not focusing on armor affairs, and Tubo did not dare to take our country lightly, so there was no army to fight for it. But in the Western Regions, it is still a painful killing of thieves, so that they have no place to stand. Up to now, the Chinese people have solid reserves, a generation of young warriors have been enlisted in the army, and they are also in charge of Western military affairs. ”

In order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Guo Yuanzhen even began to belittle himself, laughing at himself and laughing: "The famous king loves Shaozhuang, like me, a middle-aged man with hypertrophied teeth, he can't use the front, and he is only sent to the southwest wilderness to accumulate merit." Even a person like me, who is not a weapon, can play thousands of troops in the palm of his hand with only a few dozen soldiers, what is the demeanor of hundreds of thousands of truly brave men with armor in my country, can you imagine? ”

Guo Yuanzhen's self-deprecating words are still very convincing, after all, the monarch of the vassal country himself has been deeply disturbed, and his life is still under Guo Yuanzhen's control. From this, the changes in the eyes will inevitably become richer.

How powerful the Tang Dynasty is, the monarch of the vassal country really has no specific concept. In the wilderness, although his country also had the experience of paying tribute to the Central Dynasty in his early years, it was already a matter of his grandfather's generation. Therefore, for the concept of the Heavenly Empire, for the monarch of the vassal country, it is only to listen to the grandfather talk about the past.

Although there were often merchants in the realm, and the monarch of the vassal country also met with some merchants to ask about the Tang Dynasty, those merchants themselves were also in a despicable and obscene position in the country, and it was difficult to outline the whole picture of a large empire. But the massive and wide variety of goods they provide can already make people deeply feel the wealth and strength of the Tang Kingdom.

But after thinking about it, the monarch of the vassal country still couldn't help but speak: "The great discussion of the Qinling Tomb of the Fan Kingdom is by no means a simple character, the heroes of the Tibetan land once in a thousand years, and those who are enemies will not end well. In the old years, the minister of the Fan State also negotiated an alliance with the Qinling clan in Daowu City, although he successfully killed Qinling's brother, but later all of them were retaliated against by Qinling, and even our country suffered a lot......"

As a puppet erected by the Fan State, Qinling has accumulated a lot of power in the hearts of the monarchs of the vassal countries.

The alliance he mentioned was that the ministers of Tibet colluded with the Gar family in the old years to plot rebellion and kill Qinling's brother, that is, the great discourse at that time.

But after the return of Qinling, none of the people who participated in the rebellion died well, and the entire Tubo country can be described as turbulent, and Zhururu alone died several times, even including some of the lords of the hereditary state.

Because the rebellion started from Daowu City, the vassal country was also affected by this, from the Tubo King Duluo City to the Tibetan region where the vassal country was located, it can be said that the blood flowed like a river. The father of the monarch of the vassal state, the king of the previous generation of soil, died of palpitation directly in this turmoil, and even traveled dozens of miles to the camp of Qinling to beg for mercy for several days and nights, and finally survived.

Since then, Qinling's toughness can be said to be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the monarchs of the vassal countries, and even if they gossip in private, they dare not have any disrespectful words.

When he heard that the warrior of the Tang Kingdom in front of him actually wanted to win him over and make Qinling an enemy, he felt that his knees hurt, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The lessons of the early years were so painful that he still has lingering palpitations, and in his mind, opposing Qinling was simply a more dangerous thing than rebelling against Tibet. Even if you hear such news, you have to hide your ears, let alone join it.

Guo Yuanzhen saw the frightened look on the face of the Tu King, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed: "Qinling is just a powerful traitor in the Fan Kingdom, and it is worthy of the king's fear?" I am a pawn of the famous king of the Tang Dynasty, and I dare to attack your capital and leave with the king. If Qinling is so strong that he is fearless, and the offender will die, will the king still have his life? ”

"W-How is this the same? I, I have never offended Qinling's words and deeds, and my country was only coerced into trouble by the magnates of the Tibetan State back then, so it was retaliated against. Although I don't know what kind of outstanding people the Tang State fought with the Great Discussion this time, I can't die well when I see so many powerful people in the Fan State fighting against Qinling. Even if I am willing to do my best to help the strong man, I will not be able to harm the great theory in Qinghai at all......"

The reverence of the vassal monarch for Qinling went deep into his bones, and he said with a look of fear, and frowned, carefully observing the change in Guo Yuanzhen's expression.

The change in the expression of the earth king fell in Guo Yuanzhen's eyes, and he naturally had an insight into his thoughts. This king of the soil talked so much about his reverence for Qinling, but he still continued to grasp it, one to test how much of his own proportion in his future planning, and the other was to try to strive for safety and security. To put it bluntly, I don't want to take risks, but I also want more benefits.

"The vassal country is a barbarian small state, and there is no place for it to compete between the two powers. Whether it is my king or the Qinling of the Fan Kingdom, under the confrontation with each other, can you know who the king is? My king has brought me into this wilderness, and he has compassion for you barbarians who are under the control of the kingdom of Tibet. ”

After learning that the king of earth was also ready to move, Guo Yuanzhen said more bluntly: "My Tang country is rich and the people are strong, and wherever there is a military force on the side, and the characters are gathered to be used, you can ask for it without pretense."

However, this is not the case with the state of Fan, which suddenly arose in the western high mountains, and relied on its fierce soldiers and plundered everywhere to make up for its use. Where there is a great plan for attack and defense, it must be forced to ask for vassals in order to maintain it slightly. In this Qinghai battle, the victory or defeat is not in a short time, Qinling will not die, and the Tang army will not withdraw!

Using troops against each other, protracted and protracted, our Datang national strength is at its peak, and it can be maintained forever. However, if the Qinling Tomb of the Tibetan State wants to defend it for a long time, it must levy characters from the various states to help in the war. In the past years, because of Qinling's strong and indiscriminate soldiers, the country of Fan has already been exhausted and stranded. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Yuanzhen patted the Tuwang on the shoulder again and sighed: "My king will kill Qinling, only because he has benevolence in his heart and does not want to see you and other barbarians who have donated all their lives to help increase the thief's power, so I have made me visit the southwest barbarians." Since the king also has a plan in mind and does not want to be an enemy of Qinling, it is useless to force it. This time I attacked your city and bothered me a little, but I had no intention of harming you, so after a short period of recuperation, I took my leave and left. ”

After finishing speaking, Guo Yuanzhen got up and clenched his fists, saying that there was no need to continue talking.

However, when the monarch of the vassal country saw him say this, he was a little anxious for a while, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I, I'm not...... The strong man knows deeply about the danger of my country, and I am naturally not willing to be tied to death and want to save myself. But I only hate that my own power is weak, and I can't really hurt Da Zhi, and if I anger him again, I am afraid that I will get more serious revenge......"

When the monarch of the vassal state said this, he also had a bitter face: "The big talk of forcible attacks and frequent requisitions, both the Tibetan state and the barbarians of the states complained. But just because he is so arrogant and difficult to control, he can only endure the hardships silently, but in their hearts, who doesn't hope that there will be a divine soldier from heaven to eradicate him!

In previous years, our vassal state was able to control Tibet, and naturally it was not a weak small state. But now even the king's guards have been conscripted to fight, so that I have no brave guards around me, and dozens of strong men can hold me hostage. This is a big talk about me, can there be no hatred in my heart? ”

At this point, the monarch of the vassal state finally revealed his resentment towards Qinling in his heart. Over the years, Qinling's reckless military force has already caused complaints at home and abroad, especially these vassal barbarian states, who are even more eager to be able to skin and cramp them to vent their anger.

"Now that I am under the control of the Tibetan Kingdom, it is already a joke in the land of Tibet, my prestige has been lost, and even the tribes in the country no longer respect me as a king. If a strong man wants to use my name to collude with these barbarians in the southwest to rebel against the Tibetan country, it will be a bit difficult......"

The monarch of the vassal country did not lose his self-knowledge, and when he said this, his face also showed a little shame.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he said with a smile: "The barbarians in the southwest are already scattered and calculated, even if they are barely integrated, they will not become a considerable force. If you want to directly touch the Qinling, you still need to start from the inside of the Tibetan State. The king colluded with many powerful people in the Tibetan Kingdom because of goods, which could have been greatly exploited. In previous years, the king's power was weak, and he had to rely on it to protect himself. But now, if you are willing to obey my arrangement, you can temporarily borrow the power of my Tang Dynasty king, which is naturally very profitable! ”

Hearing Guo Yuanzhen say this, the monarch of the vassal country suddenly showed great interest: "Can the strong man say more shallowly?" ”

"Nowadays, in the country of Tibet, the Gar family is dominant, and state affairs are almost family affairs. If it is not removed, then the country will not be a country, and its people will be free from resentment? Now that my Tang Zhuangjia is gathered in Qinghai, Qinling is so focused on it that he has no time to look back at the country. This is a good opportunity for the country to get rid of this big traitor, if you don't do it at this time, how long will you stay? ”

Hearing Guo Yuanzhen's analysis, the expression of the monarch of the vassal country also changed: "Qinling has been hegemonic for a long time, and there is more than one family in the Fan Kingdom that wants to kill him. But even if they want to do something, I am afraid that they will not listen to my instigation......"

Whether the nobles of the Tibetan State will listen to their own instigation is secondary, and the monarchs of the key vassal states do not see opportunities for their own profits.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he said with a smile: "This is to consider whether the king understands the situation of the country in Tibet or not. ”
