Chapter 58: This sincere gift to the guards and soldiers to the ancient cities of Luo with faith and righteousness (II)
It is precisely because of the limited number of troops in the hands of the two, and the fact that all the countries in the Western Regions have been declared vassals in recent years, Li Shimin, in order to test whether the countries of the Western Regions are sincere, immediately issued an edict: requisition the thirteen states of Tiele and the Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and the armies of the five countries of Khotan, and crusade against Qiuci!
Since Li Shimin dispatched troops, Songtsen Gampo recruited 50,000 elite soldiers from all over the country, led by Lu Dongzan, Sambuza and Sairu Gongdun, and rushed to support.
As a result, Wang Xuance and the four of them understood all this. It turns out that Zambu is very sincere, but the situation dictates it, so this is also a grievance against Zambu.
At this time, above the main hall of the Potala Palace, everyone was silent!
Silently, silently, the air seemed to freeze in an instant, and everyone was thinking about a solution to the problem. History seems to be developing in an opposing direction, and Wang Xuance's borrowing of troops seems to end in such a hurry. What to do with these brothers? What about the dignity of Datang? 5. What should be done about the oppressed people in India?
However, there is no endless road to heaven and earth, and the earth has the virtue of good life; Flowers have a period of prosperity and withering, and water has an endless flow. I saw Songtsen Gampo frowning and thinking for a while, and once again met Princess Wencheng, muttered a few words in her ear, Princess Wencheng immediately smiled, smiled, and nodded again and again!
So, after this moment of solidification, the silent air was once again broken by Songtsen Gampo: "I now have a thousand guards and a whole thousand Dongdai, and these soldiers are all selected by me from the young and middle-aged people in Tibet, and each of them can be ten with one, and they are extremely brave. If the virtuous brother does not give up, how about these thousand soldiers all borrow from the virtuous brother! ”
I heard that Songtsen Gampo is so affectionate and friendly, as well as Princess Wencheng's fist love. Wang Xuance hurriedly excused himself: "This matter, by all means, if it is all borrowed from us, the safety of Zambu and the princess will not become a big problem, so it is absolutely not advisable, please take it back from Zambu." Although this is the truth, Xuan Ce will not give up; I will definitely return to the five Indias, rescue my brothers, and be ashamed of our Datang! ”
Chen Maocai also said in a round beside him: "The kindness of Zambu and the princess, I have all grasped it, although the situation is special, but your safety is the top priority." Even if we have no soldiers, as the eldest brother said, we must return to the five Indias, make friends with the countries that oppose Alonashun, and turn him upside down; can't save the face of our Datang, can't save my brothers, and vow not to return to the north! ”
Songtsen Gampo listened to their words so generously and looked at them with such grandeur. So he continued: "The safety of me and the princess, you can rest assured that the Tibet of these years is no longer the Tibet of the past. Since the princess married into my Tibet, my husband and wife have worked together to cultivate benevolent government and raise the hearts of the people on this snowy plateau, especially the princess is quite loved by the people. Even without the protection of this Dongdai personal soldier, tens of thousands of men, women, and children in my city can protect us. Although there are not many soldiers, it is enough to protect you in the five days and provide some convenience for you to make friends with other countries! ”
"What Zanbu said is very good, you should have seen the changes in Tibet over the years, not only the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the customs and appearance are also completely new. So you don't have to worry about me waiting too much! Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo smiled at each other, and said to them in a serious tone:
"You are suffering so much for the sake of the world of my Tang Li family; Besides, this matter is not caused by your own reasons, but by such traitors who despise our Datang. As the Li family, I should apologize to you on behalf of the Tang royal family, but I have married Tubo far away and become a Tubo person. But after all, I am a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and I still care about the Tang Dynasty; Datang is in trouble, as a son and daughter of the Li family, although he can't represent Datang, how can he stand by and watch; And at this critical juncture, you still do not forget the country's roots, do not lose the country's body, be polite and courteous, maintain the dignity of our Datang, and safeguard the authority of my Li family! This kind of spirit is really rare, not only moving, but also impressive. As the children of the Li family, in the face of such kindness to Datang, they should help each other. The 200 skilled craftsmen who came with me to marry are all borrowed from you, let them follow you to serve in front of the army, and let them contribute their own afterglow to our Tang Dynasty! ”
These words were sincere, sincere, and sincere, and Wang Xuance and others who said it were immediately grateful, and tears rippled. So he hurriedly got up and left the table, and bowed down to worship Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng with the great gift of the Tang royal family to thank them for their strong kindness.
Watching this scene, Zambu and the princess also hurriedly got up and left the table, and personally helped Wang Xuance and the four of them up. I saw Wang Xuance with tears in his eyes and said: "Xuance will go here, and he must live up to the ardent expectations of the princess and the deep friendship of Zambu." Please also rest assured that these thousands of soldiers, when they are successful, will be a lot of them will be returned to Zambu! ”
Just as Songtsen Gampo was about to open his mouth to exhortation, a person hurriedly broke in. This person was none other than Songtsen Gampo's cousin, the former Shah prince and now the king of the state of Nibora, Narendradeva.
It was such a coincidence, since Wang Xuance and the four of them, in this Patan City, received a nervous reply from the Nibra army, they could only get up quickly and go to the Tubo country.
This King Deva went quite smoothly because of this micro-service trip. The common people not only lived and worked in peace and contentment, but also had a solid granary, and at the same time, there was no unjust prison in the government for the time being, so they ended the trip ahead of schedule. A few days after they left, he returned to the royal city of Patan.
When the ministers heard that the king had returned to the palace, the old general of Reduli also got up from Badgang and went to the palace with the minister of state Koirachan and the city patrol general Prapad to meet the king of Dewa, who had just returned!
King Deva was pleased to see that during his absence, they had managed the royal city in good order. After some greetings and thanks, he casually asked: "These days, can there be any major events in the royal city?" ”
So Minister Koi Rachan told him all about the fact that Wang Xuance and others had come to borrow troops a few days ago, as well as the situation they had encountered in the Five Indias, how they considered it, and how they refused. Then he presented the codex presented to Wang Xuance and the four of them with food and military supplies, and waited for the affirmation given by King Deva with joy.
At the time of his report, the old general Reduli was also happily on the side, making additions at any time.
When King Deva heard that they had rejected Wang Xuance's request to borrow troops, he immediately complained: "You two are really confused, you are really confused! ”
Where is the confusion? Please see the next ......
The editor said: When Wang Xuance borrowed troops from Tibet, another war had already begun, that is, the battle of Tang to destroy Qiuci, in this battle, Li Shimin used war to raise the war, did not use the Tang army, but used foreign troops to destroy the Qiuci country, of which Tubo contributed the most!
It's the New Year, I wish you all an auspicious New Year, a long and healthy life~I give you a New Year's greeting in advance~
