Chapter 153: Plotting against Tibet (2)

"You know it in your own heart, these concubines won't care about you anyway, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, anyway, that girl is also a loving and righteous person, and the concubine won't say anything, don't bring the messy people back. In addition, Goryeo will inevitably fight with the Tang Dynasty, and the things left over from the former Sui must be resolved, and now the people of the Tang Dynasty are still waiting to clean up the bones of their relatives, friends, and families, and Goryeo must be destroyed. The concubine body doesn't want you to get involved in personal feelings. Wu Meiniang said lightly.

Li Shen was a little embarrassed and reached out and touched his nose, and said angrily: "Do you still need to say these things, Gaoli must die, this is for sure, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, it will be useless." Besides, Lone hasn't said anything yet, what do you mean by this chatter? Do you feel like you're the kind of person who hugs home and goes to bed when you see one? ”

"Isn't it?" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

Su Haitang shook his head speechlessly and said, "Okay!" ”

Facing Wu Meiniang, she said: "Meiniang, you too, how can you say that Your Highness is also a man, you have to leave him in front of him when you speak, how do you feel as if you are teaching your own children." ”

"Flutter"

Wu Meiniang couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand and shook it, looked at Li Shen with a black face, and said, "Sister, I can't give birth to such a big son." ”

"Two shrews."

Seeing Li Shen turn around and leave, Su Haitang hurriedly shouted: "Yan'er is still waiting for you, how can you say that she is also your sister, you can't let it go." ”

"I'll deal with it, Yan'er is still on your side, right, I'll go talk to her." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

Su Haitang nodded slightly.

All the way to the Xuanzheng Hall slowly walked over, for the use of troops in Tibet, Li Shen knew that there were still some difficulties in convincing His Majesty Li Er, since ancient times, Tubo has been a relatively peaceful place, and the reason for the plateau climate, for people who grew up in the south, it is not suitable for survival in that kind of bitter cold place.

Even if it is overcome, it is relatively difficult to deal with.

The current traffic is too slow, and it is certainly not able to be effectively managed, which is also a big reason, and I don't know how many years it will take to wait until the train is developed.

Datang, which does not have the slightest industrial foundation, does not understand how much amazing wealth is buried underneath the ground.

After all, the large-scale conquest involves the whole country, not that he can change it at will, grain transportation, etc., are a big problem, and Tubo is sparsely populated, the terrain is not familiar, and the lack of oxygen is also the most important reason for hindering the conquest, if Tubo adopts guerrilla tactics, Datang will fall into a protracted war, which is very unfavorable for Datang.

In fact, in Li Shen's heart, he first wanted to conquer Goryeo, grab the strong labor of Goryeo to build the road to the border of the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, build the roadbed of the railway, and develop the train as quickly as possible, so that the supply problem on the battlefield will not be so difficult, and Tubo can be slowly devoured.

I really didn't expect that this rural cadre still didn't give up, and wanted to marry the princess of Datang and peek into the latest technology of Datang to develop his Tubo, that is, now this person can't understand the benefits of mastering today's technology, otherwise he wouldn't make friendly moves again and again.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The guards guarding outside the palace hurriedly saluted and said.

Li Shen nodded slightly and walked into the main hall.

"Son, I've seen my father."

"Why are you free today?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a slight smile.

Li Shen glanced at several old ministers in the hall, nodded slightly, and said, "Just now, Yan'er went to the prince's mansion of Erchen, saying that the people from Tubo came over and wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"I haven't said yes yet." His Majesty Li Er replied and followed: "This matter will be discussed by the DPRK and China, do you have any opinions?" ”

Seeing the two eunuchs carrying a chair and coming over, Li Shen sat down and said, "I do have some opinions, I came here today to discuss with my father and the ministers." ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shen with some doubts, it seems that today is not quite like his style these days! What the hell is going on? said: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in favor of this peace?" ”

Li Shen shook his head and said, "How is it possible." ”

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"The Tubo territory borders the countries of the Western Regions, which is the only way for the Tang Dynasty to reach the Western Regions, you should also be able to understand the importance of this road, Datang is just a small piece of territory in Asia, Datang wants to develop and grow in the future, and the road of Tubo must be thoroughly in the hands of Datang, so as to ensure the safety of Datang business travel and promote the prosperity of Datang."

Hearing Li Shen's words, Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Your Highness means to wage war against Tubo?" ”

Li Shen nodded slightly.

"But there is not enough reason to start a war against Tubo, and it will inevitably make the surrounding states of Datang jealous, and if they unite at that time, I am afraid it will be ...... for Datang," Fang Xuanling said.

"There is a suitable reason, according to Lone's knowledge, the lord of Tubo has already married the princess of a small country in Fanbang, and he wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty as his wife, which is completely a crime of bullying the king, and the Tang Dynasty can use this as a reason to wage war against Tubo." Li Shen replied.

"You said that Tubo Xiao'er has married a small country in Fanbang?" His Majesty Li Er asked Li Shen with a dark face.

Li Shen nodded slightly, and said: "The wolf is just ambitious, all they want is the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, and marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty is just to enhance their national strength and make their people's lives better." ”

"It just doesn't make sense." His Majesty Li Er said in a cold voice, and then said, "I actually deceived my head." ”

"What are your highnesses' plans? You must know that the terrain of Tibet is high, and the soldiers of our Central Plains want to attack Tibet, and the lack of adaptation to water and soil is a key problem, which is also the fundamental reason why the successive dynasties have not completely occupied it for thousands of years, even if it is the grassland, what is taken is to pacify and drive away. Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Shen nodded slightly, and said: "This is also the place where Lone is in trouble, but it is a little difficult to completely conquer Tubo, and we are not very familiar with the region of Tubo, if we fall into a protracted war, the loss is a bit too great for Datang, so today I want to discuss a proper solution." ”
