Chapter 229: Non-Interference Agreement

The rectification of the Yue Xi edict has been completed, and now the two edicts have been completely merged, and all the ministers of the previous Yue Xi edict have been secretly executed by Qing'er by thunderous means, and the people who are now on the throne are all people selected by Qing'er.

Everything had calmed down, as if there had never been a Yue Xi edict. When everyone thought it was all over, the news suddenly broke that King Zhaoyuan of Mengshan had died unexpectedly and Yuan Luo had succeeded to the throne. Later, someone openly challenged Yuan Luo's position, and Meng Zhao also fell into chaos.

At this time, Meng Shezhao sent troops here to help Yuan Luo quell the rebellion. At this time, people with sober minds have realized the true situation of the matter, and any infighting and infighting are all illusions. The edict of Mengshe is about to encroach on the other five edicts.

The first to wake up was not the rest of the three edicts, but Tibet. At this time, Tubo could no longer sit idly by, if the Southern Zhao annexed the Five Zhao, regardless of whether the Southern Zhao belonged to the Tang Dynasty or not, then it would mean that the Tubo control over Yunnan was completely lost. For a long time, the Five Edicts have been a vassal state of Tibet, how can Tubo sit idly by.

In the Yaozhou military camp, Li Shan is handling military affairs in the handsome account, and for three or four months, the grain, grass, soldiers and horses are used very much, and Li Shan is trying to find a way for these sergeants to help Yaozhou do more things, and build some infrastructure, such as water drainage suspension bridges and other things.

Gao Xianzhi came back from the Tubo border: "General, the Tubo border has begun to gather troops, and this time the Tubo general Kun Dayan led the troops here, and it seems that he wants to deal with the matter of the edict." ”

Li Shan put down the pen in his hand, these days, Li Shan has more or less practiced a lot of brush writing, has written well, and before the invention of hard paper and hard pen, it is still necessary to adapt to the times.

"Now that their people are going to make a move, it's time for us to take a stand." Saying that, Li Shan got up and walked out of the tent.

Gao Xianzhi followed up and asked: "The Tubo army is now on the border of Langqiong Zhao, tens of thousands of troops have been assembled, and it is possible to attack the Six Zhao at any time, it is too dangerous for the general to go to Tubo now, let's send someone to send a message to Tubo." ”

Li Shan waved his hand and said, "No, I will go in person this time, and the matter of the six edicts still has to be handled by themselves." If Tubo wants to intervene, he has to look at the eyes of our Datang, I forgive Tubo for not having the courage to do so now. ”

In the Tibetan military tent,

"Report, marshal, Li Shan, the general of the Tang Army, is asking to see you outside the tent."

The Tubo marshal's expression tightened, the battle in Liangzhou that day, the name Li Shan had been engraved in his memory, could it be that the Tang Army sent him this time?

"The Tang army is here, why didn't there be a battle report before, how many soldiers and horses did Li Shan catch this time?"

"Marshal Qiqi, Li Shan only brought an entourage, not soldiers and horses."

The Tubo marshal touched his beard and said to himself: "Li Shan really has the guts, is he coming to negotiate with our army?" There should be a corresponding bargaining chip in the negotiation. ”

"Ask him to come in."

Li Shan came to the Tibetan border this time, without a single soldier, only with A Sanyi. "Tubo handsome, farewell to Liangzhou, I didn't expect us to meet here again."

The Tubo handsome looked at Li Shan coldly and said, "Li Shan, why did you come here alone?" ”

Seeing that the Tubo Marshal did not mean to invite himself to sit down, Li Shan casually found a chair and sat down and said, "The purpose of my coming must have been guessed, naturally it is for the war of the Six Edicts." ”

The Tubo marshal snorted coldly: "The Yue Xi Zhao and the Meng Zhao are my Tubo vassal states, and I want to be a vassal of Tubo, but now the Meng She Zhao wants to take the opportunity to annex the two edicts, and I already feel strange about the Yue Xi Zhao before." Now it seems that Mengshe's actions are all supported by the Tang Dynasty, right? ”

Li Shan shook his finger and said, "No, no, what the big marshal said is not right." To say that the Yue Xi Zhao is a vassal state of Tubo is actually a bit far-fetched, you must know that the founding of Tubo has only been a few decades, but long before the founding of Tubo, my Tang Dynasty has already accepted the six edicts as a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, but the six edicts have been vacillating over the years, hovering between you and me. But in the final analysis, the land of the Six Edicts is neither your Tubo nor our Tang Dynasty, am I right? ”

The Tubo marshal said: "Yue Xi Zhao and others think of me Tubo and Nagong all the year round, that is my Tubo vassal state, since their country has turmoil, then Tubo has the responsibility to help them calm the turmoil." ”

Li Shan laughed and said: "Dashuai's words are wrong, if Nagong is going to be interfered in internal affairs, then Tubo is also paying tribute to me Datang now, should I Datang also consider helping Tubo deal with internal affairs?" ”

The Tubo marshal suddenly became angry: "You deceive people too much, when will the Tang Dynasty need to intervene in my internal affairs in Tubo?" ”

"That's right, since you don't need the intervention of the Tang Dynasty in the internal affairs of Tibet, then the internal affairs of the Six Edicts do not need the intervention of Tibet. This time, I came to Tubo to represent that Datang wanted to reach an agreement with Tubo. ”

"What agreement?"

Li Shan handed the agreement that had been drawn up long ago to the Tubo marshal: "Tubo and I, the Tang Dynasty, promise not to interfere in the disputes between the six edicts, and let the six edicts develop freely. ”

The Tubo Marshal read the content of the agreement, threw the agreement aside and said: "How can I, Tubo, agree to this kind of agreement, although we lost in Liangzhou, it does not mean that we have to give up all our interests." If Datang doesn't want to interfere in the matter of the Six Edicts, he can defend it, and we in Tubo will definitely not let go. ”

Li Shan sneered and said: "I think you misunderstood what I meant, what we mean is that if Tubo wants to support the Five Edicts, then our Datang will also unconditionally support the Mengshe Edict." Could it be that Tubo still wants to start another war with my Tang Dynasty in the land of the Six Edicts? ”

The Tubo marshal was very angry, glared at Li Shan and said: "Don't think I'm really afraid of you, if you have the ability, you can do it with a real knife and a real gun, and it is unknown who will kill the deer." ”

Li Shan said unhurriedly: "I think it's better for you not to jump to conclusions, you better convey our attitude to Zampu as soon as possible, and let him decide." We Datang don't ask for much, we just need Tubo to sign this non-interference agreement. In this way, neither of our countries interfered in the dispute over the Six Edicts, and as for whether the Mengshe Edict annexed the Five Edicts or whether the Five Edicts destroyed the Mengshe Edict has nothing to do with our two countries, and we will wait and see what happens. ”

This is before Li Shanlai, Tang Xuanzong and Pi Luo Ge reached a consensus, Pi Luo Ge went to Chang'an to negotiate with Tang Xuanzong is to let Tang Xuanzong put pressure on Tubo, so that Tubo can not reinforce the five edicts, give him enough time to unify the six edicts, and Li Shan is training troops in Yaozhou for now.

And Tubo originally wanted to help Meng Xuan, but now that the Tang Dynasty is intervening, it is unexpected. The Tubo marshal really didn't dare to make up his mind now, so he could only send the news back and wait for Zampu's instructions.

And Zampu's decision also made the Tubo marshal unbelievable, Zampu unified the agreement of non-interference, and agreed with the Tang Dynasty that he would never interfere in the disputes between the six edicts, but the Tang Dynasty must not interfere either. (To be continued.) )
