The situation facing Tibet is very dangerous.

Originally, in the south and west of Tibet, there were still powerful countries such as Tianzhu, Persia and Dashi, and Tibet would not have no way out. However, now that the relationship between Persia and Dashi and the Tang Dynasty has improved significantly, and even formed the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it can be said that Tibet is now in a state of complete isolation and helplessness.

It was only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty attacked the vassals of Tubo, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and they chose it at this time.

In fact, it was the established national policy of the Tang Dynasty to attack Tibet, but the people who knew the inside story were limited to a few people such as Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, and Li You, and Li You was the specific implementer of this national policy.

Just when they began to plan for the Taishan Sealing Ceremony, Li You and Li Chengqian began to target Tubo from that time in order to make the Taishan Sealing Ceremony more complete.

Wang Xuance set out from the Northwest Road, and had already begun to travel between these vassal states of Tusbo.

Any vassal state is because the national strength is weak, in order to survive has to rely on the strong country, there is no morality at all, only two words in play strength.

Today's Tang Dynasty, unlike when Li You had just crossed over, has increased its national strength dozens of times, and its military strength is also the most powerful in the world today.

The Tang Dynasty was powerful, and Tubo was able to give these vassal states benefits, and the Tang Dynasty could give them more and greater benefits casually. The Tibetans couldn't protect them, but the Tang Dynasty could easily destroy them, so in this case, did they still have a choice?

Although Li You was unwilling to fight Tusbo, if he had to go to war, he would not hesitate to wage war against Tusbo.

Once the war began, Songtsen Ganbu was faced with the situation of being isolated, while the Tang Dynasty could mobilize the Tang army, the army of Tuyuhun, and the armies of other vassal states to attack Tuskan from all sides. With Li You's ability, it is not a problem to even mobilize the Persian and Great Food armies to participate in the war.

Although Tubo has now been unified, there are more than a dozen large tribes within it, and with Li You's means of dividing other countries, these tribes are under the trend of interests, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray him Songtsen Ganbu.

Songtsen Ganbu had no idea that almost overnight, the mighty Tubo was in danger of falling apart.

Songtsen Ganbu was a hero and a qualified politician, who did not panic in the face of the crisis, but calmly analyzed the situation in front of him:

First of all, he could not leave Chang'an immediately, ruined the peace with the Tang Dynasty, and did not participate in Li Shimin's birthday ceremony, which was likely to anger the Tang Dynasty and detain him in Chang'an. Chang'an is far away from Tubo, even if he can successfully escape from Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty has an artifact like a radio station, which can notify all places to intercept at any time, and it is extremely difficult to escape from the Tang Dynasty.

Secondly, even if he could successfully return to Tibet, in the face of the attack of the powerful Tang Dynasty, Songtsam Ganbu was not sure of victory.

Moreover, he did not know to what extent the Tang Dynasty's internal division and disintegration of Tus had been carried out, and he might face a direct internal rebellion when he returned to Tu S.

Whether it is to return to Tubo smoothly or to figure out the movements of the Tang Dynasty, it will take time. This required Songtsen Ganbu to stay in Chang'an for the time being to deal with the Tang Dynasty.

Songtsan Ganbu made up his mind, pretending to know nothing about the intrigues and tricks behind the Tang Dynasty, and stayed in Chang'an to continue to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, and participated in Li Shimin's birthday ceremony. Wait for the right moment and then plan.

After making up his mind, Songtsen Ganbu said to Gao Geyue: "Let's stay in Chang'an for the time being, and after meeting the Tang Dynasty's prison state, you will first return to Luocheng to control the internal situation and secretly prepare for war." ”

Gao Geyue also thought that this was a wise choice at the moment, and he said, "The minister knows. ”

Songtsan Ganbu said: "You go and contact King Li Junwang as soon as possible, and I will go to visit him first." ”

Dongping County Palace.

The weather was fine, and there was a lot of joy in front of the palace.

Li Daozong took dozens of people from all over the family to greet the arrival of Songtsan Ganbu in front of the gate.

Soon, Songtsen Ganbu and his party rode on a tall horse, followed by many attendants carrying gifts, and came to the gate of the palace.

"I've seen my father-in-law." Songtsen Ganbu saluted and said. He also speaks Chinese well, and since he met Li Xueyan, he has worked hard to strengthen his Chinese.

Li Daozong replied: "The foreign minister has seen Zampu. ”

As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes it. Li Daozong's father-in-law looked at Songtsan Ganbu's son-in-law, and his heart was also happy.

Songtsam Ganbu is a talent, except for the skin is a little dark, absolutely heroic and handsome. On that day, when Li Daozong and Yin Hongzhi went to Fanglin Gate to greet Songtsam Ganbu, they fell in love with Songtsam Gangbu at first sight. He returned to the palace and praised his daughter for her good vision.

Songtsan Ganbu exchanged a few words with Li Daozong, and his eyes turned to the beautiful and delicate Li Xueyan. Since the two met in Luoqi City, they have been talented and beautiful, they fell in love at first sight, and after they separated, they both missed each other.

Songtsen Ganbu was overjoyed to see the jade man he had missed for a long time, Li Xueyan looked at the lover in his dream, and his eyes instantly became wet. The two of them were affectionate, and for a while they seemed to forget the existence of the people around them, immersed in the joyful world of the two.

Li Daozong's family was happy for them when they saw the loving appearance of the two of them, and everyone was silent, unwilling to disturb them.

After a while, Li Xueyan found that everyone was looking at him and Songtsan Ganbu, and realized that he was a little rude, and hurriedly said, "Father, don't invite Zampu in yet." ”

Li Daozong came to his senses and said to Songtsan Ganbu: "Zampu, please inside." ”

Entering the living room, Li Daozong introduced his family to Songtsan Ganbu, who was very good at doing things and gave gifts to everyone, and everyone was very happy.

Li Daozong ordered the housekeeper to prepare lunch, and he and Songtsen Ganbu came to the study to talk, and Li Xueyan accompanied him.

During the chat, Songtsen Ganbu heard that Li Daozong had come back from Goguryeo to organize a wedding for him and Li Xueyan, so he talked to Li Daozong about the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

With Li Daozong's narration, Songtsam Ganbu was silent on the surface, but he was more and more surprised in his heart.

For the war with the Tang Dynasty, although the national strength of Tusi was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty. However, Tusbo occupies a geographical advantage and still has the ability to fight.

The Tang Dynasty's way of fighting against Goguryeo surprised him and made him even more worried.

The economic blockade adopted by the Tang Dynasty against Goguryeo, the method of integrated military and political warfare, played a huge role due to the narrow terrain of Goguryeo. Tubo is now surrounded by enemies, but in fact, it is like an island in the waves. Goguryeo, which has a high degree of economic development and a large population, and its national strength surpasses that of Tus, can no longer support it in just one year. If the Tang Dynasty adopted such tactics against Tusbo, how long would Tusbo be able to support it?

Songtsen Ganbu tried to suppress the horror in his heart and not show it on his face. But the interest in his conversation was noticeably deferred.

Li Daozong thought that they were going to enjoy the world of the two, and said knowingly: "Snow Goose, I still have something to do." Spend time with Zamp. ”

After Li Daozong left, Songtsan Ganbu held the beauty's jade hand and said affectionately: "Snow goose ......"

For the next few days, Songtsen Ganbu came to Li Daozong's house almost every day.

On this day, Li Xueyan sent Songtsan Ganbu away, found Li Daozong and told him about the Tang Dynasty's digging of the foot of the Tufan wall, Li Daozong was very depressed.

Northwest Palace, restaurant.

Wang Liao was introducing the special food sent by the Miao people to Li You, and Li Daozong rushed over with an unhappy face. Li You smiled and said, "Uncle, you came just in time." My third brother Li Ke sent someone to deliver Miao delicacies, and you have a good mouth just in time. ”

Li Daozong said to Wang Liao and the others: "You go down first." ”

Wang Liao and the others looked at Li You, and Li You nodded and signaled them to leave.

Seeing Li Daozong's unhappy face, Li You asked, "Uncle, who provoked you?" ”

Li Daozong said angrily: "Your Highness, aren't you harming people?!"
