Li Shimin suddenly said arrogantly: "If you can solve altitude sickness, then what is the peace talk with Tubo?" The small number of troops in Tibet is not enough to make me fearful. ”

There is no altitude sickness, just the little strength of Tubo, Li Shimin does not wait for Moton's return, I am afraid that he has already destroyed it.

Merton smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Mo family has indeed suffered from altitude sickness, but with the current technology, it is impossible to create an antidote. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but be disappointed, frowned, and said, "Even the doctor can't make it?" ”

Merton nodded and said: "Yes, the antidote to altitude sickness is not medicine, but oxygen, I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers the first secret technique that Wei Chen showed when he just entered Chang'an City." ”

"The secret technique of a live fish." Li Shimin blurted out.

Merton nodded and said, "The reason why the fish that are caught die is because they need oxygen in the air, and the same is true for everything in the world. The breathing space that appeared in altitude sickness, and the purple fingers are the symptoms of hypoxia in the human body, so the antidote to altitude sickness is also very simple, that is, to create oxygen, but unfortunately although the kid has already offered a reward, there is still no man. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, Datang had cracked the altitude sickness and knew the antidote, but he couldn't make it, so he could only watch Tubo be arrogant.

"But Your Majesty rest assured, the Mo family has increased the investment in producing oxygen, and I believe that one day, it will be the end of Tibet." Merton said with a resolute expression.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's a pity! This time, I can only let go of Tubo lightly. ”

Merton sneered: "No, Tubo's single-minded peace talks are afraid of the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty, after all, altitude sickness has greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but the power of gunpowder has not diminished at all, so that the natural advantages of Tubo will be greatly weakened, which is the reason why Tubo is eager to seek peace, and in turn, we can use Tubo's desire for peace to weaken Tubo." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head slightly in agreement, looked at Merton and said, "Aiqing has a good plan." ”

Morton said loudly: "Although Tibet occupies a favorable geographical position, it has three major weaknesses. ”

"Aiqing, please speak!" Li Shimin listened attentively.

Morton said loudly: "The first weakness of Tubo is the weakness of the country, since Tubo wants to marry the daughter of a merchant with the gift of a princess, then it must be entertained with the specifications of a princess, and a large-scale palace must be built in Luo, if you don't want to, you will retreat, if you agree, just take the opportunity to weaken the national strength of Tubo." ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea, whether Tubo agrees or not, it will not damage Datang.

Merton continued: "The second major weakness of Tubo is food, Wechen once said that the Tubo Plateau is cold and frozen, only cold-tolerant barley can grow, not to mention the extremely low yield, it is the only staple food in Tubo, Wechen bought a large number of barley from the Tubo Plateau before, but this is far from enough, Wechen wants His Majesty to issue a ban on alcohol. (I mistakenly wrote barley as sorghum before)

"Prohibition!" Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Merton in surprise, you must know that the most expensive wine in the world is the solution of thousands of sorrows in Mojia Village, and Merton took the initiative to propose a ban on alcohol, and the biggest loss was the Mo family, and Merton did not hesitate to take revenge.

Morton nodded and said: "Although Mojia Village is very profitable, but winemaking consumes too much food, even if there are brick roads in recent years, the price of grain in Guanzhong has still risen year after year, and high-grade liquor is the culprit." ”

Li Shimin nodded, there were already many people who gave advice to Li Shimin, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the solution of Qianchou in Mojia Village, but he didn't expect that Moton would take the initiative to solve it himself.

"Weichen thinks it's time to leak the secret technique of winemaking to Tubo, and now Datang has issued a ban on alcohol, if His Majesty allows the import of high-grade liquor from other countries, Tubo who has just obtained the secret skill of winemaking will definitely be ecstatic, and Tubo will definitely take the bait, and sell it to Datang in a big way, so that the grain in Tubo will be greatly reduced, and the national strength will be weakened again."

Although Merton's winemaking secret skills have been leaked to the winemaking workshop, but not to Tubo, this makes Merton look at the Tang Dynasty's winery differently.

Li Shimin's heart moved, as an emperor, he naturally knew that grain was the foundation, if Tubo used the only staple grain barley to make wine, it would inevitably bury hidden dangers, and there would always be one that would be used by the Tang Dynasty.

"The third weakness of Tibet is ignorance, that is, ignorance." Merton concluded.

"Ignorance? Mo Dun has just praised Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo as the masters of a generation, how can he say that Tubo is ignorant in a blink of an eye. Isn't that a paradox? Li Shimin was puzzled.

Merton explained: "The so-called ignorance refers to the ignorance of the whole Tibetan society, Songtsen Gampo has just unified the Tibetan Plateau, before that, there was no writing in Tibet, and even the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan did not know a single big character, let alone the ordinary Tibetan people. ”

Only then did Li Shimin suddenly realize that he somewhat understood what Murton meant.

"But ignorance and backwardness, but also represents barbarism and fierceness, which is also the reason why Tubo is brave and good at fighting, we can't control the body of the Tubo people, but we can put a shackle on the hearts of the Tubo people." Merton smiled slyly.

Although Li Shimin didn't know the word well-developed limbs and simple mind, he knew that the more barbaric they were, the more they believed in the gods, especially in the Tibetan Plateau, where they thought they were protected by the gods, and they believed in the gods even more.

Merton smiled and said, "Then does Your Majesty know which religion does not allow killing?" ”

"Buddhism!" Li Shimin was suddenly taken aback, and instantly understood Merton's plan, Tubo is adjacent to Tianzhu, there is a certain foundation of Buddhism, coupled with the ignorance and superstition of the people of Tubo, once Buddhism is prevalent in Tubo, everyone is unwilling to kill, and the brave and warlike Tubo soldiers will probably become history.

Merton nodded solemnly and said: "Erwu has repeatedly destroyed the Buddha, which shows the harm of Buddhism, rather than this, it is better to lead the disaster to the west, and even when necessary, you can also help the Buddhists, so that the divine power of the Tubo Plateau is higher than the royal power, and how can the Tubo ruled by a group of temples pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised, when Merton told him that three of the birthplaces of several civilizations in the world had fallen to theocracy, he couldn't help but be frightened, but he didn't expect that one day, the Tang Dynasty would actually use this strategy on Tubo, but Tubo didn't notice it at all.

Merton's three strategies can almost be said to his heart, these three prongs, even if oxygen is not created, the threat of Tibet can be greatly reduced, which makes Li Shimin excited.

"In this case, the task of receiving the Tibetan envoy this time is entrusted to you, and I hope you will not live up to my expectations." Li Shimin said meaningfully.

Merton suddenly understood, and immediately understood that Li Shimin agreed with him to carry out the plan to weaken Tibet, and by the way, he took revenge.
