Chapter 481: Wu Yuanqing's Calculations
Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info learned everything that happened in Gongbu Jiangda and Babu Chuan, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all with the expression of a dog.
I didn't expect that my side did everything possible to persuade the emperor to agree to peace, but the result was that there was a problem on the Tibetan side, and the ancestral tomb was occupied and was unwilling to stop fighting, so there was no way to make peace.
What is opposed and neutral is that I didn't expect that there would be such a shocking reversal in the already certain thing, and the first few governors actually had a big fight with Tubo before the holy decree arrived, and also occupied the former country, and the ancestral tomb was controlled in their hands, forcing the Tubo people to give up the truce and peace that they had finally begged for.
In other words, does this mean that people are not as good as heaven?
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought it was a coincidence, but they didn't know that it was all Wu Yuanqing's calculations.
He knew that it had been a long time since he received Cheng Chumo's letter, and if the emperor had a heart and a kiss, then it was likely that it had already been decided, and the holy decree had been issued. And once the decree is issued, because the emperor Chrysostom has spoken, especially this kind of matter between the two countries, there is no possibility of retracting it.
And even when they received Cheng Chu's silent letter, the emperor had not yet made a decision, and what happened in Chang'an was beyond their reach from far away on the plateau, and it would take more than ten days for the opposition to send the excerpt back, and it would not be able to do anything at all.
Is it just on the plateau overlooking Chang'angan?
Of course Wu Yuanqing is unwilling, the key stationed in Kang Yanchuan are Niu Jinda and Cheng Biting Jin, who are stubborn and lose their mental strength, and these people are also unwilling, if the emperor refuses, it's okay, but once the emperor agrees to make peace, then the face of the military will really be lost.
Fortunately, Cheng Biting Jin is here, they are all proper bold people, if Hou Junji is here, according to Hou Junji's kind of gloomy, accustomed to pondering the emperor's thoughts, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he will definitely not be in the two sides are already relatively stable, more in the confrontation when the army attacked, provoked a big war again.
It's really good that Cheng Biting Jin and a few others.
So Wu Yuanqing proposed to fight again to Tubo, and then these people agreed to this proposal without saying a word, because this proposal was too much to their liking.
It's just that what Wu Yuanqing didn't expect was that Cheng Yanjin's optimistic target turned out to be Gongbu Jiangda, but his target had always been Babuchuan.
Because he knew that even if Gongbu Jiangda was captured, as long as Tubo and the Tang Dynasty could negotiate a truce, Songtsen Gampo would not be unable to accept the fact that Gongbu Jiangda was occupied.
However, if Babuchuan is occupied, as the ancestral land of the Tibetan lineage, the former national capital, and the location of the royal tomb, Songtsen Gampo will not give up.
It is inevitable to send troops to retake it, and once this happens, the matter of peace between the two sides will definitely fall through.
said why Wu Yuanqing was so sure, as long as Tubo sent troops to recapture Babuchuan, it would definitely make the peace talks between the two sides come to naught, why couldn't it be that the Tang Dynasty returned Babuchuan to Tubo, and then the two sides negotiated peace and dismissed the army.
Maybe the Tang Dynasty will do this before, the Celestial Empire, always like to value peace, I didn't see the future generations of my Great Celestial Dynasty to fight Ah San, and they were about to hit Ah San's capital, and in the end, they all returned, not only returned the land they fell, but even retreated, giving up more than 100,000 square kilometers of their own land as a buffer for both sides. As a result, as soon as the Celestial Empire let it out, Ah San took it. In the end, there was a disputed territorial dispute, and there was no one who was generous.
But now, Li Shimin will never do it, since the Eastern Turks were wiped out, Li Shimin already knew that there were many good things on the grassland, not useless.
In the past, everyone thought that there was nothing else on the grassland except cattle, horses and sheep, and the poor could not do it, but Wu Yuanqing told them with facts that there are treasures on the grassland, not to mention cattle, horses and sheep, and the wool on the sheep can make a lot of money.
At this time, who was willing to throw away the land that had cost a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention that several large graphite places were found on the grassland later, one of which was still open-air. Datang now consumes a lot of graphite every year just for steelmaking, although he finds a lot of graphite in Guanzhong, Hedong, but it is not easy to mine, where is it easier than the open-pit graphite mining on the grassland.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty, who had eaten the sweetness on the grassland, also accepted it directly when he laid down Tuyuhun, instead of returning the land, and set up Fu Yun's son Fu Shun to be the new Khan and what to do to belong to the subject country of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Tuyuhun has not been beaten down for a long time, and the benefits have not been much, not to mention that just keeping the Silk Road along the route from being disturbed is enough to make Datang benefit a lot.
Therefore, how could Li Shimin, who was addicted to playing land and occupying resources, still give up the territory he occupied, and there was a limit to how much he could lose some face by winning over Tubo, after all, the Tang Dynasty was the victorious country, how could he have repeatedly accommodated Tubo
Therefore, Wu Yuanqing calculated that Li Shimin would not return the territory of Tibet that had been captured in the armistice agreement, and in order to achieve the goal of armistice as soon as possible, Songtsen Gampo would definitely give the greatest authority to send envoys.
So there was Wu Yuanqing's proposal to fight again, but the target selected by Cheng Yanjin was Gongbu Jiangda, Wu Yuanqing thought about it and did not refuse, because he found that Gongbu Jiangda was also beneficial, at least when attacking Babuchuan, there was no need to make a detour, let alone avoid the enemy that Gongbu Jiangda might reinforce, let alone worry about being cut off from retreat.
But before leaving, Wu Yuanqing communicated his thoughts to Lao Niu, clarified the stakes, and told him that if he wanted to stop Heqin, the only way was to take down Babuchuan, forcing the Tubo people to restart the war with the Tang Dynasty. If Tubo himself doesn't stop fighting, even if the emperor really agrees to make peace, it will be in vain, it is impossible for Tubo to still attack the Tang army, and the Tang Dynasty will take care of itself and marry the princess.
Lao Niu doesn't talk much, but he is a person who dares to do things, and he feels very reasonable after listening to it, and because Wu Yuanqing is also the supervisor of his army, and if something happens, the two of them will carry it together, so Comrade Lao Niu agreed to Wu Yuanqing's proposal without much thought.
The inside story of the sudden war in front of Chang'an is ignorant, and no one will definitely say anything in the future, anyway, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, and Liu Lan's excerpts are all about the same, that is, Your Majesty, we sent troops but before your holy decree arrived, you can't blame us for resisting the decree.
