The departure of Lu Dongzan and Xiao Zampu finally cleared the power level of the plateau. Without a few big leaders, the tribes below are independent, and a little differentiation can offset a lot of opposition.

But if Lu Dongzan goes back, if the plateau tribes collectively oppose the Tang Dynasty, then all the previous foreshadowing will be wasted, and maybe the plateau will become Tubo again, and confront the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that Feng Zhidai was about to jump up, Leng Feng smiled and said, "It's not that serious, in my opinion, sending Lu Dongzan back will help us a little bit in our actions." Although Lu Dongzan abandoned those tribes at the beginning, as the prime minister of Tubo, he was still a little majestic. With him as the head of the flock, we can also reduce some resistance. ”

Although Feng Zhidai stopped jumping, he still didn't give up his opinion, and persuaded Leng Feng to kill Lu Dongzan directly or imprison him all the way.

Returning to the place where the tour group escort was camped, Leng Feng found Lu Dongzan, who was brewing medicinal herbs.

During this time, only two guards followed him at all times, and they didn't monitor him too much. And Lu Dongzan rarely goes out except to take care of those remnants.

Seeing Leng Feng coming to see him, Lu Dongzan pointed to some medicinal materials on the side of the guillotine knife and said, "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I'm done with these medicinal materials." ”

These medicinal herbs were needed by those remnant soldiers, and they passed through Nanzhao Lin Mang with their crippled bodies, causing great damage to their bodies. The 3,500 people at the beginning of the journey have been reduced to 3,000 today. After arriving in Lingnan, more than a dozen died due to water and soil adaptation and worsening injuries.

After finishing the medicinal materials and letting a one-armed remnant soldier take them away, Lu Dongzan asked: "It's the reply of the Tang Dynasty, when will I be on the road?" ”

In his opinion, being able to exchange his life for these remnants to go home is already a profitable deal.

Leng Feng sat on a small bench and shook his head: "The court didn't say that it would kill you directly, and handed over the right to dispose of you to me." In other words, it is I who rules your life and death now. ”

Lu Dongzan glanced at Leng Feng strangely, and asked directly, "What do you want me to do?" Say yes in advance, I won't betray Zamp. ”

Talking to a smart person is to save trouble, and if you change a stupid person, I am afraid that you will have to intercede with him and ask for forgiveness at the first time. And Lu Dongzan asked him directly what he wanted.

Looking at a few remnants of the sun in the courtyard, Leng Feng said: "I can let you go back to the plateau, but you must promise to help me clear the plateau again, those tribes that remain, I'm afraid there are a few who are not so easy to appease, I want you to point them out." ”

Lu Dongzan said seriously: "You want to kill them?" This is your Datang's appeasement to us? ”

Leng Feng smiled: "Do you think it's possible?" I'm not trying to kill them, I'm going to get rid of them. Such a tribe could not have concentrated power, and they were separated, some of them were scattered, and some of them moved out of the plateau and distributed to Qinghai for a generation. Only in this way will the resistance of Datang to pacify the plateau be much smaller. ”

This is the result of Leng Feng weighing the pros and cons, if you want to talk about the understanding of Tubo, no one in the whole Tang Dynasty can compare to Lu Dongzan. Datang wants to control the plateau as soon as possible, and he can't do without the help of Lu Dongzan.

As for letting the tiger return to the mountain, as long as the road down the mountain from the Western Regions of Shu is blocked, the tribes on the plateau will not be able to take action at all. There is a threat from a large army, and even if someone wants to establish himself as a king on the plateau, it is impossible.

As a cold place, Datang wants to completely control the plateau in a short period of time, which is simply a fool's dream. And the plateau, which cannot be controlled by the Tang Dynasty, is much better to let it be autonomous to a certain extent than to simply leave it alone or keep it in captivity.

In the case of self-government, there needs to be someone who is not stupid enough to set himself up as king. Coincidentally, Lu Dongzan met this condition.

As long as there is a team following Lu Dongzan's side, it is impossible for him to make any changes. What's more, after a month of wait-and-see, Leng Feng has seen Lu Dongzan's decadence.

Carrying Xiao Zampu on an expedition, abandoning his ancestral land, and fighting repeatedly, he has polished all his heroic hearts. At this time, he may have thought about returning to his hometown with these remnants, and finally buried his bones there.

What about letting the tiger go back to the mountain? As long as the tiger has a rope around its neck, and returns to the mountains and forests to deter the restless beasts.

Lu Dongzan's gaze was uncertain, he knew that a person like Leng Feng would do what he said, and he also knew that Datang really needed him now, but doing things under the control of Datang still made him feel like he was betraying his clansmen.

Looking at the soldiers basking in the sun, Lu Dongzan said calmly: "If I don't agree, then these soldiers? ”

Leng Feng shook his head: "The previous words are still counted, I won't do anything to them, we will send them to the plateau as promised, and even send one or two doctors to follow them." ”

"Send a doctor?"

Lu Dongzan was taken aback, there were no doctors on the plateau, and some only had a teacher who was also a doctor. As a smart man, how did he not know that the practices of those masters could not cure diseases at all, but when he went to the Central Plains to seek medical skills, he always ran into a wall.

At the beginning, he went down the mountain to marry the Tang princess for Zampu, because he wanted to introduce some techniques and medical skills from the Central Plains, which was the top priority.

"Didn't you let the medical skills spread to Tibet at the beginning? Why are you willing to do so now? ”

Leng Feng said seriously: "Naturally, we were an enemy country, and anyone who can help you is an enemy." Now it's different, although the tribes on the plateau are not officially Tang people, but we can't see them sick but not cured, and they can't eat when they suffer from famine. Lu Dongzan, believe it or not, as long as the herdsmen who stayed on the plateau lived a good life, they didn't care whether it was Zampu or the emperor who ruled them. ”

Lu Dong sighed in admiration, although he didn't want to admit it, he still felt that Leng Feng was right. The people who did not follow Zampu to leave no longer have the usual enthusiasm and invincible mentality of Tubo, and only want to live a peaceful life. Even if a few tribes are not honest, they are only a minority compared to everyone.

Nodding stiffly, Lu Dongzan said, "Okay, I promise you." However, I also have to put forward the condition, in order to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, we Zanpu built a Dala Palace (river crab), although the plateau has been included in the territory of your Tang Dynasty, I still hope that you respect this place and do not stretch out your hand to this place. ”

Leaving as much as possible the traces of the plateau once ruled by Tubo is already Lu Dongzan's last wish.

Leng Feng then remembered that the earliest Budala Palace was established at this time, and it was just a palace group, and it was not a matter if it was not burned.
