Li Xueyan was anxious when she heard this, and she asked, "What happened to Tusbo again?" ”

All Li Daozong had heard was bad news recently, and he looked at Li You with a sad face, waiting for him to say something terrible.

Li You looked at the father and daughter, and suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart, it was he who swept them to the forefront and took on the troubles that he shouldn't have bore in the first place.

He felt that it was time for them to continue to bear the pressure, so he said: "It's not a big deal, leave this matter to me, I'll go see Songtsen Ganbu now and talk to him in person." ”

With that, Li You stood up and asked, "Where does Songtsen Ganbu live, take me to meet him." ”

Li Daozong was worried that Li You's conversation with Songtsan Ganbu would collapse, so he hurriedly gave Li Xueyan a look and motioned for her to follow as a buffer.

Li Xueyan understood, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, I'll take you there." ”

In order to prevent Songtsam Ganbu from being distracted, the Flying Tiger Army sent by Li You was only responsible for the guard on the periphery of the manor.

Songtsen Ganbu had been on increased alert since the attack, and now that he was in danger, he stepped up his guards. The single courtyard where he lives not only has eight Tusbo guards at the door, but also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry around the courtyard, and there are also a large group of open and secret sentries in the courtyard, and there are patrols that keep walking by.

Seeing someone coming, the Tubo warriors suddenly became nervous, and one by one they came out of their sheaths and wound their swords, as if they were facing a great enemy.

After seeing clearly that it was Li Xueyan and Li You, they breathed a sigh of relief and put away their knives and guns, but they still looked at the white tiger and the black panther and others behind Li You with hostile eyes.

Li You said to Baihu and the others, "Go back." ”

White Tiger and Black Panther and others looked at the Tubo people with knives and guns, and refused to leave.

The white tiger said: "Lord Wang, let the little one go in with you!" “

Li You said with a pleasant face: "It's okay, I'm just going to see a friend, you guys go back." After speaking, he followed Li Xueyan to the courtyard.

The White Tiger and the Black Panther refused to leave, so they stood in the snow and waited for Li You to come out.

As soon as Li You entered the courtyard, Songtsan Ganbu, who had already received the report, greeted him.

After exchanging etiquette with Li You, he let Li You into the guest room. He said: "Your Highness, it has snowed so heavily, you must have something important to say when you come here in person, right?" ”

Li You looked at Li Xueyan and said to her, "Xueyan, I have something I want to talk to Zan Pu alone, you can avoid it." ”

Li Xueyan was worried about a conflict between them, and said, "You talk, I'll serve you, okay?" ”

Songtsan Ganbu said softly to Li Xueyan: "Just let me talk to His Highness alone, you go down and rest first." ”

Li Xueyan looked at Li You, and then at Songtsan Ganbu. Still a little worried, she said: "If there is anything you can discuss, don't worry." All right? ”

Songtsen Ganbu nodded.

Li You also smiled and nodded, and said, "It's okay, I'm just chatting with Zampu." ”

Li Xueyan walked out of the room, pushed open the door next door, listened carefully inside, and found that she couldn't hear the movement in the guest room, so she walked out again, and stood not far from the window of the guest room, listening carefully to the movement in the house.

Here, although she couldn't hear what Songtsen Ganb and Li You were saying, she could hear the movement inside. She was always ready to go in and persuade if there was a conflict in the house.

Seeing Li Xueyan's actions, the Tubo guards thought that she was eavesdropping on the conversation inside, and felt that something was wrong. But thinking about her relationship with Songtsen Ganbu, he didn't dare to stop her from doing so, so he had to let her stand there.

One of Songtsam's maids was clever, she hurriedly went back and fetched a coat, put it on Li Xueyan, and whispered: "It's too cold outside, please go into the house to warm up." ”

Li Xueyan shook her head and insisted on standing there.

Inside the guest room, Songtsen Ganbu said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your Highness, if you come alone, aren't you afraid that I will take you as a hostage?" ”

Songtsan Ganbu is now being taken hostage by the Tang Dynasty, and at this moment he really has the idea of taking Li You as a hostage, and then blackmailing the Tang Dynasty and letting himself return to Tusbo.

Li You smiled slightly and said, "Zampu, will you?" ”

Songtsen Ganbu would not have done such an irrational thing, he smiled: "Just kidding." Your Highness, you must have something important to say when you came in the snow. Let's stop beating around the bush and say something straight. ”

The last time he talked to Li You, Li You talked a lot about food. Songtsen Ganbu was not used to his nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

Li You said: "Zampu, I asked Xue Yan to convey my suggestion to you last time, and I heard that you refused, can you tell me why?" ”

Songtsan Ganbu said unhappily: "You are embarrassed to ask, one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back, it is absolutely impossible to use all the conspiracy methods to force me to comply." ”

Songtsen Ganbu is a big man, and he will never give in easily to the coercion of others.

Li You said: "Zampu is a big hero and a real hero, I have always admired it. I admit that on the issue of dealing with Tibet, my approach is somewhat unacceptable.

You can think I'm a villain, but I'm a real villain. I let Snow Goose tell you nothing to hide.

Let me tell you this, I am responsible for what I have done and I have no regrets. The Tibetan and Tang dynasties were two different countries with different interests, and it was normal for countries to calculate each other.

If you think that the strategy I have adopted to divide and disintegrate the Tibetan Empire is a villain's act. Then let me ask you, when you launched the war of unification of Tibet, what means did you take to deal with those tribal leaders and lords, and did you divide and disintegrate them?

If my methods are dishonorable, what do you think of them? “

Dividing and dismantling hostile forces is a normal means for a politician. At that time, Songtsen Ganbu faced those clan leaders and lords, and the methods adopted were not much better than Li You, and even surpassed. ”

Songtsam Ganbu was speechless. He said: "I won't fight with these senseless verbal disputes, but if you want to force me to submit to the Tang Dynasty through these means, you still can't do it." ”

Li You smiled and said: "That's it, let's have a good chat today, just like Xue Yan said, if you have different opinions, you don't need to be anxious, how about it?" ”

Songtsen Ganbu said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Li You said: "I ask you some questions, and please answer me truthfully." ”

Songtsen Ganbu said, "Please speak. ”

Li You said: "Zampu, you have been in Chang'an for a while, what is your impression of Chang'an?" ”

Songtsen Ganbu said: "The prosperity and wealth of Chang'an are indeed incomparable to those of Lhasa. ”

Li You said: "How do you think the political system, military strength and all the projects you have visited in the Tang Dynasty compare to your Tus? “

Songtsen Ganbu said: "I admit that Tubo is not as good as the Tang Dynasty at present, but so what? Is that why you bully others? He remembered what had happened to him, and he was a little angry as he spoke.

Li You asked, "Do you think there is any difference between the people of Chang'an and your people?" ”

Asked this question, Songtsen Ganbu was silent.

The people Songtsen Ganbu saw in Tusbo were extremely tame and in awe of him. Most of those people's faces were extremely numb, looking lifeless and lifeless. However, the people of the Tang Dynasty were full of energy, with confident smiles on their faces and full of vitality.

From this point of view, it proves that there is a clear gap between the management system of Tushan and the management system of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Songtsen Ganbu like this, Li You didn't force him to ask.

He then asked: "Lu Dongzan is a respectable and admirable figure, he was alone with you before he died, I don't know what he said to you on his deathbed, but I'm sure he doesn't want Tu Sbo to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Songtsam Ganbu remembered what Lu Dongzan said before he died, and became even more silent.
