After the scouts who went to the river were sent out, Gao Feng and the others were about to arrange for someone to ask for news from the Hu merchants of the Nine Kingdoms in Qiuzi, and Duan Xiushi returned.

Duan Xiushi saw the two of them, and opened his mouth and said, "Zhongcheng, I just asked a few Hu merchants from the nineteen countries to inquire about the news. Indeed, as Xiao Xiaowei said, after Cheng Poshi returned to Anxi in the middle of last year, there was chaos in the river.

First, the 30,000 cannibal riots in Anguo captured and drank the city, and it took several months to quell it. In order to vent his anger, after the destruction of the city and . Posilin ordered the slaughter of the city, most of the inhabitants were killed, those who did not die by the sword were hanged on the city gates, and finally the city was set on fire, which lasted for three days.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the king of Anguo chose to throw himself into Datang when he saw the brutality of Da Shi, or he really secretly sent someone to Anxi for help but was discovered. In short, shortly after the capture and slaughter of the city, the king of Anguo, who assisted Da Shi to quell the rebellion, was killed by Da Shi, so the nine kingdoms of Hezhong rebelled.

After that, the Great Food Army went around in chaos, killing the King of Mi Kingdom, the King of Shi Kingdom, and many Nine Kingdoms Hu nobles in a month. Now that the turmoil has almost subsided, there is already a deep blood feud between Jiuguo Hu and Da Shi, but he is forced by the scimitar threat of Da Shi, so he has to endure it temporarily. Speaking of these things, those Nine Kingdoms Hu all gritted their teeth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging me to send troops to the river to drive away the big food.

I brought a few Hu merchants over, and Zhongcheng can ask them carefully. As for what Captain Xiao said, and. Posilin was suspicious of his sovereign. The Abbasids instigated the generals stationed in Samad to attack and Posirin, but this matter was not discovered, and the merchants said that they did not know about it. ”

After a few Hu businessmen came over, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing interrogated them carefully, and sure enough, they were exactly what Xiao Quzhi said. As for the and. Posilin was suspicious of his sovereign, and it is not surprising that these Hu merchants did not know about it. After sending a few people back, Gao Xianzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't doubt it, things must be as the auxiliary minister said." He deliberately came down the mountain to help Yu XX, these news must have been known to him by his master before he went down the mountain, how could it be false? Let's go and ask him about the Tubo Subi Department this time, and see what surprises he can bring to so-and-so! ”

Gao Xianzhi thought in his heart: "My second brother is an immortal disciple, since the inside story of Dashi knows so clearly, presumably the matter of Tubo should also be known." But this time he didn't guess correctly, and when he heard Gao Xianzhi tell the reason for the incident, Xiao Quzhi was a little stunned. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, did not show it immediately, and quietly turned various thoughts in his mind.

What's going on here? There's no record in the information, so come and ask me, am I really a god?

Xiao Quzhi racked his brains and thought about it several times, and in the information about the battle of Talas compiled by his father, there was indeed no record of the Tubo Subi Division. But no record doesn't mean no, just like this time on the way to Anxi was intercepted and killed by horse bandits, isn't it the same as no record, but did it happen?

For a long time, Xiao Quzhi has been puzzled by the fact that Gao Xianzhi was deceived by Luo Quanjie's fake news in Chang'an, so he wanted to strike first and hurried back to Anxi. It stands to reason that there is such a false news full of loopholes, why didn't Gao Xianzhi see through it?

Now that I think about it, in another time and space, maybe it was because Gao Xianzhi was attacked by the Huma bandits of the Nine Kingdoms on the way back to Qiuzi, maybe Gao Xianzhi's personal guards ran back to Anxi after heavy casualties, and in anger, Gao Xianzhi directly counted the account on Shi Guo's head. So he didn't go to find out the truth of this news, so he directly sent troops.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Gao Xianzhi focused on attacking the Zhaowu Nine ** team, which made the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, which were originally dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, have to fight to the death with the Tang army in the Battle of Talas. Then after the end of the war, these countries secretly sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute, asking for support from the Tang Dynasty and helping them drive away the Great Food. In this way, everything is easy to explain, it is all a mistake, and the root cause of it is actually the gang of horse bandits.

Well, no, it should be said that the real root cause is the forces behind the gang of horse bandits.

In the same way, in the time and space when Xiao Qu was not sick, the envoy of the Subi tribe should have also come. But Gao Xianzhi was bent on dealing with Jiuguo Hu, or Gao Xianzhi wanted to deal with this matter after fighting in the river. Then Gao Xianzhi returned from a great defeat in the Battle of Talas, and was dismissed from office soon after, and the matter was not resolved, so it was not recorded in historical materials.

Xiao Qubing was wrong about this, not because he didn't record it, but because he didn't know it. According to history, at the beginning of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the king of Subi, Wulingzan, colluded with Lang Meise and Mo Dong Zebu to kill Tubo Zanpu Chide Zuzan. After that, the king of Subi rebelled against Wulingzan, and wanted to lead his tribe to attach the Tang Dynasty. However, it was soon pacified by the famous Tibetan general Enlan Dazarugong. More than 2,000 people and his family were killed, and only a few dozen people led by Sinoluo, the son of Wulingzan, were able to escape. First to Longyou, and then to Chang'an, he was named King Huaiyi by the Tang Dynasty and given the surname Li.

Seeing Gao Xianzhi looking at himself expectantly, Xiao Quzhi's expression was unmoved.

Is this a test? What to do? I really don't know anything about the Subi tribe, and even the word Subi is the first time I've heard of it. What to say, confession? Trouble, or you can ask me about something in the future. Don't you confess......

In an instant, Xiao Quai's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he smiled and spread his hands.

"Big brother, I'm not an immortal, how can I know any information?"

Gao Xianzhi was disappointed, Feng Changqing laughed coldly, Duan Xiushi frowned, and for a while, the scene was quite embarrassing. After a while, Gao Xianzhi figured it out. Also, he didn't say that he knew everything, he took it for granted. As for the information about Da Shi, it must have been told to him by his master when he was about to go down the mountain. It's hard for a strong man to do it.

"It's okay, it's the eldest brother who wants to fork it." Gao Xianzhi smiled, paused, and said, "Feng Er, Cheng Gong, it seems that we have to think about this matter in the long run." ”

The two nodded, and were about to get up, when they suddenly heard Xiao Quzhi say softly: "Although I don't know anything about the Su Bi Ministry, I know very well how to deal with Tubo. ”

The two of them shook slightly, and sat down again. The three of them looked at Xiao Quai's illness with curiosity.

Xiao Quzhi nodded slightly at Gao Xianzhi and said with a smile: "It's just that I don't know why this Subi tribe is trying to rebel, did they say it?" ”

Feng Changqing preemptively said: "It is said that it is unbearable to endure the suffering of Tubo enslavement, and the Tubo country is strong, and the army and horses are half out of Subi, which is one of them; The second is that in Helong in the past few years, Tubo has often been defeated by my Tang Dynasty, and the Subi Department does not want to let the tribal youth die in vain. ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded, combined with his knowledge of history, it was really true. Under external pressure, the internal contradictions in Tibet began to erupt, what a good opportunity. If this momentum can be maintained, Tubo is likely to be ground to death by the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that in another time and space, instead of seizing this golden opportunity, Datang broke out first in civil strife and has been in a state of collapse ever since.

Change starts with yourself, a butterfly flapping its wings.

In the eyes of the three of them, Xiao Quzhi said softly: "Big brother, you come to ask me, do you want to let go of the matter in the river first, and send troops to Tubo to cooperate with the rebellion of the Subi tribe?" ”

Seeing that Gao Xianzhi was silent, it was a tacit acquiescence, Xiao Quzhi continued: "I think this matter is extremely risky, and the reason doesn't need to be said, everyone must know it." ”

"It is precisely because we are clear that we are not familiar with the terrain in Tibet, and we know little about the inside story, which is equivalent to a black eye, and the rash dispatch of troops is actually to find death. It's just that I thought you could know the inside story and all kinds of information, so I asked you if there was any way to get a trick. Gao Xianzhi thought to himself. Xiao Quzhi continued: "So we have to give up this idea of sending troops to cooperate and make contributions quickly. Instead, the pursuit of slow planning, long-term layout, in order to slow work. ”

Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly, thinking that this is still up to you, if you have this slow kung fu and long-term planning, naturally you will not think of taking this risk and sending troops to Tibet. It's just that this four-town festival envoy has been doing it for more than three years, and the festival envoy has never been in office for a long time. Plan slowly, I'm afraid it's for someone else to marry.

"My solution was to take advantage of the religious opposition in Tibet and contact the Zhang-zhung tribe at the same time. Let these three families fight among themselves. What we have to do is to manipulate behind the scenes, secretly support, and help the Subi and Zhangxiong tribes not to be easily killed. Sell them something, salt, silk, tea, whatever. And firmly grasp this line of manipulation. In this way, there is the temptation to exterminate Tibet, and the imperial court will not easily change hands in Anxi within a few years. After waiting for two or three years, the other party will be defeated and injured, and then the eldest brother will be able to send troops from the Green Ridge, level Tubo in one fell swoop, and build an immortal achievement! ”

Gao Xianzhi's fleeting micro-expression naturally couldn't escape Xiao Quai's eyes, and as soon as his mind turned, he immediately understood where Gao Xianzhi's heart knot was. As for the method he came up with, he was used to seeing this kind of thing in the original world. For example, if Lao Mei and others want to move a country, they will never directly send troops to crush it, they must first support a group of opposition parties and provoke infighting, and then they can send troops.

In fact, this method was also used in the Tang Dynasty, and it was done in the early Tang Dynasty, but by this time, the Tang Dynasty's way of thinking had fallen into a narrow alley and had become extremely single and rude. It's just doing it without thinking of any conspiracy.

As soon as they finished speaking, the eyes of the three of them suddenly lit up, and Gao Xianzhi's eyes lit up: "Can you tell me in detail what to do?" ”

"Big brother knows about the Elephant Hung Division, right?"

Gao Xianzhi nodded, and Feng Changqing on the side introduced: "This Xiangxiong tribe, like the Subi tribe, was once the most powerful tribe on the plateau. Later, the Subi tribe was conquered by the Tibetans, and soon the Tibetan Zanpu died, and the Subi tribes rebelled, but they were occupied by the Zhangxiong tribe.

At this time, the strength of the Zhangzhung tribe surpassed that of Tibet, and the two sides exchanged in-laws, but later it is said that it was the king of Zhangzhung who snubbed the sister of Songtsen Gampo, Saimaga. Therefore, Songtsen Gampo sent troops to attack Zhangxiong, killed the king of Zhangxiong, and brought all the Zhangzhung tribes under the rule of Tubo. But more than thirty years later, Zhangzhung began to rebel against impermanence, and his current status is equivalent to that of an independent subject state under the rule of Tibet, with its own army. ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded: "That's right, I also know that in order to completely conquer Zhangxiong, Tubo deliberately introduced Buddhism from Tianzhu, just to shake Zhangxiong's spiritual pillar." Now Buddhism and Zhangxiong's original belief in Bon are fighting in Tibet. ”

"In fact, originally the Tibetan tribe also believed in Bon, but due to the excessive power of the Bon theocratic group, the status and authority of Zampu were threatened, and the people of Tibet respected the national teacher of Bon more than Zampu. Only then did Songtsen Gampo introduce Buddhism and wanted to suppress Bon.

According to my estimate, this Subi tribe should also be a Bon religion. So what we have to do is to help them suppress Buddhism, let Bon have the upper hand in the struggle between the two religions, and let Buddhism become untrusted in Tibet. Unable to defeat the other side spiritually, the Tibetan Zanpu will inevitably send troops to use violent means, while the Tibetan people who devout and follow the Bon religion will inevitably rise up to resist, and the Tibetan will be at ease at that time. ”
