Li Longji enthusiastically pulled Pei Min to sit down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Pei Min looked at Li Longji suspiciously, not knowing what happened to this Li family Saburo, so excited.

Li Longji said with a little joy: "Jingyuan has given me a lot of bad breath this time, and he has beaten Tubo into a frightened bird." ”

Pei Min looked at Li Longji puzzled, not knowing what he meant by this, his mind was racing, and he asked solemnly: "Is it that the envoy of Tubo, Long Langchi, made any requests?" ”

Li Longji patted his leg and said: "It's not a request, it's a begging and begging, Long Lang is here to be honest, and he doesn't have the dignity of a big country at all." Jingyuan's battle broke their backbones. ”

Pei Min looked at the delighted Li Longji, but he couldn't laugh.

In his memory, Tubo was not so unbeaten, and they were also repaired by Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan, but they still stubbornly took advantage of the situation to rise, and became an existence that attracted the attention of the Tang Empire and the Arab Empire.

At that time, Tibet had the posture of the Third Empire, and its military strength was even higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it was in full swing with the Arab Empire in the Western Regions.

In Pei Min's eyes, Tubo will never be destroyed for a day, and will always be one of the enemies that the Tang Dynasty cannot be underestimated.

World War I broke the backbone of Tibet?

Pei Min didn't believe it, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Tubo is not as weak as you imagined. It is because of the self-destruction of the Great Wall by Zampu before Tubo, which led to the lack of youth and yellow in the army, and there are no excellent generals to take on the big responsibility, which is the key to the victory of the ministers. The weakness of Tibet is not due to the weakness of the country, but to the lack of excellent generals and military commanders. As long as they had found a good military commander, we could not win so easily. Before the decisive battle, we also met a young general in Tibet, who was extremely talented in military affairs, and it was possible to carry the military of Tibet and become a strong enemy of our army. ”

Li Longji frowned and said, "Could it be that Long Lang Chi is really pretending?" ”

Pei Min said: "Although I don't know what Tubo has put forward, the repeated failures have indeed injured their tendons and moved their bones, but they are not enough to form fatal injuries." They still have the strength to fight us, you can be sure of that! ”

Li Longji did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Just the day before yesterday, Long Langchi suddenly put forward a proposal, saying that he was willing to be a vassal to my Tang Dynasty, and doubled his tribute to us every year, just asking our army to withdraw from Moliyi. What do they say they have frightened Jingyuan's methods, you are nearby, and their herdsmen do not dare to graze in Qinghai Lake at all. ”

"I see!"

Pei Min instantly understood Tubo's intentions, and also knew why Li Longji was so excited.

At the beginning of the rise of Tibet, it was the time when the Zhenguan Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were the most powerful militarily.

At that time, Li Shimin's focus was on the Western Regions, and he didn't take Tubo into account at all.

By the time of the Gaozong Dynasty, Tibet had already risen, and with famous generals like Gar Qinling, it had the military strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this, the alliance between the Tang and Tibetan countries was not a master-slave agreement, and the Tang Dynasty was not the suzerainty of Tubo, but an alliance between uncles and nephews.

Tang is the uncle, Tubo is the nephew, the relationship between the elders.

If the agreement between the lord and the minister can really be set, Tubo is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the Zampu of Tubo will accept the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, and when they write to each other, they will also be called ministers.

Although it is a situation, it is of great significance.

If this matter is completed in the hands of Li Longji, in a sense, it will be a feat that surpasses that of the previous dynasty.

Li Longji has no reason not to be moved.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that there were two points that contributed to the compromise in Tibet! One of them......" Pei Min stretched out a finger and said, "They are seriously injured and need our help to recover." Becoming a subject country of our Datang Dynasty can enjoy the tax reduction and trade treatment of the subject country, which can promote their economy. Second......" he raised his second finger and said: "And the most important thing, he doesn't want us to threaten Qinghai Lake, let alone let us adapt to altitude sickness!" ”

"Altitude sickness?" Li Longji was a little dazed.

Pei Min explained with a smile: "It is the so-called water and soil unsuitability, and the terrain of Tubo is much higher than that of our Tang Dynasty. The lack of adaptation to water and soil is particularly serious, which will cause great distress to our army, and it is also the support of Tubo all along. As long as there is an unaccustomed existence, they will be like geckos, even if we cut off their tails, as long as they shrink back on the mountain, they will eventually grow again. But if we had an army capable of fighting on the plateau, the situation would be different at once. No matter how long-lived the gecko is, as long as they cut off their heads, they will have no power to return to heaven. We have an army capable of fighting on the plateau, which is the last thing that Tubo wants. ”

"In order to prevent this, they even proposed to be called a minister, which shows how seriously they are guarding against my Datang. This also indicates that the compromise of Tibet is not sincere, but for the purpose of learning Goujian! A moment of humiliation is not an insult, and the winner is the one who has the last laugh. Now the winner is us, and we can't let Tubo have the last laugh. Pei Min said cautiously.

Li Longji's expression was solemn, Yue Wang Goujian tasted dung and disease, and who could not know that he was lying on his salary and tasting gall?

Pei Min said: "Actually, the uncle and nephew covenant is still a minister, which is of little significance. Could it be that Tubo is a minister, and His Majesty can really influence the political situation in Tubo? It's just a literal sound, and it doesn't mean much. With His Majesty's ambition, is it limited to making Tibet a vassal? It is true that letting Tubo be a vassal is indeed surpassing the previous dynasty. But it's just a bit better. Compared with my Tang Heavenly Soldiers entering Luo and capturing the Potala Palace, which one is more meaningful? ”

"The latter, of course!" Li Longji's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "What a Long Lang Chi, I almost fooled him." He must have learned the news that Jingyuan was coming to Chang'an, and seeing that the agreement could not be reached for a while, he was worried that you would harm him. Simply leave such temptations behind...... I felt that there was a ghost, so I didn't agree, I want to listen to your opinion. In this way, Jingyuan is for long-term consideration! ”

Pei Min said: "It is both long-term and present!" Your Majesty, this mouth must not be loosened. ”

Li Longji suddenly frowned and said, "Compared to Long Langchi's mouth full of lies, I believe in Jingyuan's advice. It's just that in recent days, Long Langchi's methods have been exhausted, and many ministers in the DPRK and China have persuaded him. I feel that the construction of Moli City is not worth it for a long time in Moliyi, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of military expenses every year, and even cause unnecessary war disputes, and the gains outweigh the losses. In particular, when the matter of claiming the title of minister came out, most of the civil and military officials held an attitude of approval. After all, the Tibetan Plateau is barren and economically, not suitable for conquest. ”

Pei Min agrees with this, but disagrees, just like Goguryeo, Goguryeo is located in a remote area, poor mountains and bad waters, and the conquest does damage the country's economy, and the benefits are not great. But the rear is unstable, how can the front develop? Even if it was a loss, Goguryeo had to fight.

The same is true in Tibet, from the perspective of economy and people's livelihood, Wenchen's concerns are not unreasonable. But what should be fought still has to be fought.

"It's okay!" Pei Min squinted his eyes and said, "Tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will summon the ministers into the palace." However, in a few words, it was ensured that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty reached an agreement instantly. ”
