The fastest update of the latest chapter of Taobao Datang!
The Gregory Bowl reclaimed the land as if in a dream. Now he is very grateful to Datang. He asked the Tang army to temporarily garrison Tuyuhun, and he followed Tang Fei to Shanzhou to meet with Li Su, the king of Liang.
Before leaving, he did not break his promise and swore to Tang Fei as a brother. Tang Fei didn't refuse, he didn't have so many scruples for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, he believed that His Royal Highness King Liang would definitely agree to him doing so.
Half a month later, Nuo Haobo met with Li Su, the king of Liang.
Before meeting with King Liang, Tang Fei specifically told him about the etiquette of meeting His Royal Highness King Liang in the Nuo bowl. He said: "Brother, since you have decided to be a minister to the Tang Dynasty, then meet His Royal Highness King Liang as a courtier." ”
"Brother said yes. ”
Through this war, Nuo Haobo saw the strength of Datang, and he was really good friends with Datang.
In fact, in recent years, there have not been many conflicts between Tuyuhun and Datang. The Tang Dynasty pacified the grasslands, recovered the Western Regions, and the national strength was great, and the Nuo Hao bowl was in sight. This time, there was such an opportunity, and he was determined to seize it firmly.
The temporary residence of King Liang in Shanzhou.
When Li Su heard that Nuo Haobo had arrived, he personally greeted him outside the gate.
"See His Royal Highness King Liang." As he spoke, he bowed to Li Su.
This etiquette is something that Li Su must accept, which represents the dignity of Datang. After the formal etiquette, Li Su smiled and said: "Nuo Hao Khan, you and I are about the same age, so you might as well call each other brothers." ”
Nuo Haobo is used to being a khan, and he is really not used to bowing his head and being a minister, and seeing Li Yu's politeness, he smiled and said: "It's okay, it seems close." ”
At this time, he saw a female soldier wearing a Tang Army uniform and no armor standing behind Li Su, who was charming in her fortitude, and couldn't help but take a second look.
Entering the living room, Li Su and the others did not formally arrange their positions like diplomatic negotiations, but sat around a coffee table opposite Nuo Haobo. Ashina Qing was in charge of pouring tea for them. Tang Fei hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you to the princess." ”
Ash Naqing smiled and said, "Lord Tang doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”
Tang Fei introduced Nuo Haobo: "This is Princess Liang, Princess Ashina of the Turki Ministry. He couldn't call Ashinaqing by name, so he introduced it like this.
There are a lot of concubines in Nuo Haobo, but there is no sassy and generous type like Ash Naqing, he praised sincerely: "Princess Liang is so heroic, His Royal Highness King Liang is so blessed." ”
Ashina said generously: "Xie Khan praised. Then he sat down next to Li Su.
Li Su said: "I have heard many people say that the courage of the Khan to go to the front line in the battle and fight with the Tibetan people is really admirable. ”
Tang Fei said on the side: "Yes, the minister has seen it with his own eyes, the Khan is very heroic. After the city was broken through by a group of Tibetans, it was the Khan himself who drove them out of the city. ”
The kings who can fight on the front line in person are probably the only ones in this era who were Li Shimin and this Nuo Hao Khan. That's where his pride lies. When this topic was mentioned, the Khan of Nohobo was proud in his heart and his emotions were very high.
Nuo Hao Bo Khan talked with King Liang and the others, and felt very relaxed and comfortable, and he enjoyed the atmosphere in front of him very much. I have a good impression of King Liang's affinity.
Soon they talked about the future situation, and he was a little worried about whether the Tibetans would attack again.
Li Su said: "The Khan doesn't have to worry, the Tibetans have gone through this war, and the losses are also huge, and they don't have the ability to wage war against Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty at the same time. If I'm expecting it to be good. Songtsen Gampo will soon send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to reaffirm friendly relations.
Tuyuhun will also usher in a period of stability for a long time. This is also a good opportunity for the development of Tuyuhun. ”
Nuo Haobo saw the sophisticated equipment of the Tang Army, and Tang Fei also introduced him to the development of industry and commerce in the Tang Dynasty, which he was very interested in. He said: "Your Highness, Tuyuhun has suffered a huge loss this time, and it will take a long time to recover his vitality, I hope you can help Tuyuhun develop as soon as possible." ”
Li Su said: "In this case, I have a proposal, before going to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor, I will accompany the Khan to Yunzhou to feel the atmosphere of all-round development there." ”
Noho agreed.
However, when he mentioned that he wanted to meet Li Shimin, he said with some shame: "I go to meet His Majesty the Emperor, what gifts do I need to prepare?" Tuyuhun is so poor that he has nothing to show for it. ”
Li Su smiled and said, "Tuyuhun is not a barren place, and you also have a lot of treasures there. In this way, after you have visited Yunzhou, let's talk about the development of Tuyuhun in detail. ”
Subsequently, Li Yu invited Nuo Haobo to a banquet, allowing him to see the temptation of Datang cuisine.
Two months later, Li Su and his entourage returned to Chang'an.
As Li Su expected, Tubo sent an envoy to express his friendly attitude with the Tang Dynasty.
Tuyuhun is rich in mineral resources, especially salt, copper and gypsum reserves. After visiting Yunzhou, the stimulated Nuo Haobo signed a series of agreements with Datang on the development of Tuyuhun mineral resources before leaving. He also requested that the 2nd Division of the Tang Army, which is currently in Ashinahun in Tuyuhun, be stationed on the border between Tuyuhun and Tubo.
Nuo Haobo accepted Li Shimin's canonization. Then I also returned to Tuyuhun. This time, the crisis in the western border of the Tang Dynasty was successfully resolved.
Li Shimin was very appreciative of Li Su's foreign strategy, but he felt that he did not understand the whole content of Li Su's strategy, so he specially concentrated the high-level and let King Liang elaborate.
Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.
Li Shimin affirmed a series of foreign policies adopted by King Liang, and said: "In recent years, King Liang has participated in the pacification of the grasslands, the recovery of the Western Regions, and the stabilization of the western frontiers, all of which have achieved good results.
For different objects, adopt different strategies, what kind of considerations are in it, Liang Wang will explain your strategic thinking to you. ”
Li Su said: "We now have a basic understanding of the geographical situation of the world and the situation of the surrounding countries of Datang. Next, I will talk about the foreign policy that Datang should adopt.
Since the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the two Jin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, our Han nation has launched countless expansion wars to expand its territory. The result?
It can be said that there is basically no result. Again and again, they were conquered, and in the end they were all lost. By the time of the Wuhu Rebellion, only the hinterland of the Central Plains was left of the Han nation, and the total number of Han people was even less than 10 million.
It's not that our ancestors weren't strong enough, it's not that they didn't make an effort, it's that they didn't take the right measures.
Take the steppe peoples as an example, the Han people fought hundreds of wars with them in history, defeated them again and again, but they made a comeback again and again. Why is that? ”
