Li Xiu sat in the carriage and chatted with Su Dingfang as he walked, mainly to ask him about the previous conquest of the party, and Su Dingfang also answered one by one, he was the vanguard of the attack on the party at that time, so it also gave Li Xiu a more intuitive understanding of the battle of the party.

Before, Su Dingfang went to the bank to ask Li Xiu for help, hoping to sell the loot they brought back from the party to the bank, so that they would not have to be exploited by those profiteers, but the bank really couldn't draw manpower, so Li Xiu decided to go on a trip in person, of course, he just came to take a general look at the classification of the loot, and then in a few days he would send a special person to price the loot.

"Don't worry about the party at all, if they didn't die by themselves, they actually launched a rebellion when the emperor died, I'm afraid there is no need for our army to encircle and suppress, only the local army can quell the rebellion, but this is okay, now that the party is destroyed, it can also give the people on the border side a wake-up call, let them weigh their own weight, so as not to provoke our Tang Dynasty in the future!" Su Dingfang finally concluded.

"Isn't there stability on the southwestern frontier as well?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask when he heard this, he knew that the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty had been unstable, even if the Turks were destroyed, but there were still countless tribes of all sizes on the grassland, and these tribes were constantly in conflict with each other, and sometimes there were some minor conflicts with the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty had to station a large number of troops in the northern Xinjiang.

"I don't know, the southwest is close to Tubo, there used to be a Tuyuhun, fortunately we were wiped out before, and now the southwest frontier is much calmer, but in recent years, the strength of Tubo has grown rapidly, many tribes who used to live in Tubo are unwilling to surrender, and as a result, they were driven out by Tubo, and we border Tubo, as a result, these tribes that were driven out entered the Tang Dynasty, and naturally there will be some conflicts, in fact, the party used to live in Tubo. After being driven out, he was settled in our Datang territory. Su Dingfang opened his mouth to explain.

"Tibet?" When Li Xiu heard Su Dingfang mention Tubo, he couldn't help but whisper to himself, speaking of the Central Plains Dynasty is really full of disasters and difficulties, for example, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, it was not easy to solve the Turks on the northern grassland, but in the southwest there was a Tubo, and with the strength of Tubo in the future, it will definitely bring a lot of threats to the Tang Dynasty, which also happened in the original history, so he never wanted to see a powerful Tubo.

"Dingfang, in your opinion, is there a way for our Datang to contain Tibet?" Li Xiu suddenly asked at this time, the best way is to strangle the danger in the cradle, although Tubo is gradually becoming stronger, it is not strong enough to threaten the Tang Dynasty, so if it is possible, Li Xiu will not hesitate to interrupt the development process of Tubo.

However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Su Dingfang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'm afraid I'm afraid I've asked the wrong person, don't look at me Although I went to the southwest, I don't know much about Tubo, because it is said that Tubo is located on the plateau, and ordinary people can't go up at all, and even those businessmen who love money like their lives don't dare to go up easily, so they can only let the Tubo people come down to do business by themselves, and the news we can hear is only said by these people who have been indirectly in contact with the Tubo people, and it is not credible at all, so my understanding of Tubo is also extremely limited, Not to mention any local methods to contain Tibet. ”

Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, but he also knew that what Su Dingfang said was the truth, Tubo took advantage of the plateau, and even if the people on the plain went up, a minor illness might kill people, so that the outside world knew very little about Tubo, of course, this also made the news of Tubo very closed, for example, when Songtsan Gampo first came into contact with Datang, he was still very arrogant, but after being taught by Datang, he suddenly became much more honest.

"However, although I don't know about the internal situation in Tibet, if you want to curb the development of a country, it is nothing more than internal and external aspects, but Tubo relies on the geographical advantage, and people from the outside world can't get in, so it's too difficult to contain him from the outside, and the only way is to provoke it from the inside, I believe that no matter which country, the internal will not be monolithic, as long as we can inquire about the internal disputes in Tibet, we can make some articles from it!" Su Dingfang spoke again at this time.

"Is it an internal stirrry?" Li Xiu once again showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, and his mind kept recalling the original historical records of Tibet, but he didn't know much about this period of Tibet, except for Princess Wencheng who had been married, he also knew that Songtsen Gampo also married a Nepalese princess, as for the internal disputes in Tibet, he was really not very clear.

However, Li Xiu was not discouraged, and planned to let people pay more attention to the situation in Tubo when he was free, although the news of Tubo was closed, there would always be Tubo people coming down, and he remembered that he had seen a few Tubo merchants in Chang'an, and last time that Lu Dongzan was thrown out of the house by him, so he should be able to inquire about some news of Tubo.

While he was talking, Li Xiu's carriage also came to a military camp in the west of the city, a large number of troops were stationed around Chang'an, so a lot of military camps were also built.

The carriage came to the gate of the barracks, but the barracks were not allowed to enter the carriage, so Li Xiu and Su Dingfang got out of the car. However, as soon as they got out of the carriage, they immediately saw a lot of people gathered at the gate of the camp, and they seemed to want to go in, but they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"What's going on, what are these people doing?" Li Xiu saw that these people were so bold in front of the camp gate, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise at the moment, after all, this is a military camp place, and ordinary people enter it by others, and it is a felony to even get close.

"These people are the profiteers I said before, and we are not the garrison of Chang'an, but we are temporarily stationed here, so the rules have become a little loose, after all, we used to rely on these guys to exchange the things in their hands for copper coins!" Su Dingfang explained helplessly at this time.

"Then why don't you let them in?" Li Xiu nodded when he heard Su Dingfang's explanation, but then asked with some puzzlement.

"I don't know about this, after all, I left the camp early this morning, and I also handed over the affairs in the camp to one of my students, probably because of his orders." Su Dingfang guessed at this time.

"Your students?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, Su Dingfang was a very proud person, he could let him be accepted as a student, and the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, which made him very curious.
