Chapter 11 Nepal Surrenders "Destroy Tianzhu!" A scream rang out, coming from the mouths of the ministers, all with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

Tibet is very poor, so poor that only yak dung remains, and it is not easy to implement the county system in Tibet. The reason why it is difficult is that it is difficult to raise money and food, which makes Li Longji and the ministers very troubled, and they are all trying to find a way to solve this matter.

Where did you think that Li Changguo actually had a way, and it was a very clever way, and it would be a matter of destroying Tianzhu.

This thing is really unexpected by the ministers, and if you think about it, it is indeed a good way.

Although the ministers have not been to Tianzhu, they know Tianzhu very well, which mainly comes from two people, one is Tang Seng's travelogue, and the other is Wang Xuance's narration.

Tang Seng went west to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West", which became popular and praised for future generations. However, the Tang people learned about Tianzhu based on his "Tang Dynasty Western Regions", in the book, Tang Seng showed the Tang people in detail what they had seen and heard in Tianzhu, which was the main book for the Tang people to understand Tianzhu, and almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty had read it.

Wang Xuance is a famous messenger who knows Tianzhu very well, and he almost destroyed Tianzhu. His narration is also an important source for the Tang Dynasty to understand Tianzhu.

With these two people, it is difficult for the Tang people not to understand Tianzhu.

They knew that Tianzhu was very rich, with a large population and a vast territory, but it was fragmented and not unified, and its strength was limited, so if the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Tianzhu, it would not be difficult.

The destruction of Tianzhu will not only solve the problem of money and grain needed by Tibet, but also have a lot of surpluses, that is to say, the Tang Dynasty will have an important source of taxes, and the financial revenue of the Tang Dynasty will increase significantly.

With money and food, the Tang Dynasty could maintain more troops, expand its territory on a large scale, and have a higher chance of winning a battle with Dashi.

"Brilliant plan! It's a brilliant idea! The ministers praised in unison, and the sound shook the top of the temple.

Chen Xuanli raised his eyebrows even more, and asked very proudly: "Yang Zhao, you said that Li Changguo has no choice, he is bullying the king, how about this strategy to destroy Tianzhu?" Is it a bully? ”

Yang Guozhong's slander of Li Changguo is to rip Chen Xuanli's heart, and he will not be able to hold a grudge.

"......" Yang Guozhong was annoyed, but he was speechless, so he could only twist his neck and deal with it as if he hadn't heard.

"Huh." Chen Xuanli smiled very happily, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said, "Yang Zhao, you have nothing to say, right?" ”

The ministers snickered, Yang Guozhong was a bully, and he had never suffered as much as he saw in front of him, but it was Chen Xuanli who dealt with him, a figure he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Alright." Li Longji waved his hand to stop Chen Xuanli, and smiled at the ministers: "You should know now, why am I so happy?" Li Changguo's book is the most beautiful delicacy, just right to go with wine. Come on, do it! He picked up his glass and toasted three times before he put it down contentedly.

Li Changguo's book solved the most tight money and grain problem in the Tang Dynasty, and it was indeed a big white thing, and the ministers accompanied each other with cups.

"The pros and cons of destroying Tianzhu, Li Changguo's book is clearly written and clear, do you have any objections?" Li Changguo asked loudly.

It is very clear in the above book, who can still have an opinion? The ministers shook their heads fiercely.

"It's good if you don't have it." Li Longji stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Xuance was able to destroy Tianzhu back then, not for anything else, but because Tianzhu is too far away from Datang. Yes, Wang Xuance let Tianzhu go. ”

Tianzhu borders Tibet and Nepal, far from the Tang Dynasty, if Wang Xuance destroyed Tianzhu, these benefits will go to Tibet and Nepal. Nepal is better, after all, it is too far away and does not border the Tang Dynasty, so the threat to the Tang Dynasty is not great. If the Tibetans obtained these regions and mouths, their strength would expand dramatically, which would be a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xuance can destroy Tianzhu without extinguishing it, and letting Tianzhu go is really a far-reaching consideration.

"Now, Tubo has been destroyed, and the matter of Tianzhu should be over." Li Longji raised his right hand high, waved it heavily, and said, "I have done the matter of destroying Tianzhu." After the situation in Tibet stabilized, Ge Shuhan sent troops to Tianzhu. Well, Tianzhu is too hot, there is no winter, and troops can be sent at any time, so let Ge Shuhan choose the opportunity to send troops. Leaving 100,000 troops for Geshuhan is enough. ”

This is to give Ge Shuhan a considerable choice, there is no time limit, everything is up to Ge Shuhan.

"As for Li Changguo, let him lead the army to retreat, go to the land of Hehuang to rest, and prepare to march into the Western Regions." Li Longji raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and said: "Before entering the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty will hold a grand celebration to celebrate the pacification of Tibet. Li Changguo was asked to lead the meritorious soldiers back to Chang'an to participate in this celebration. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, turned his voice higher, and said: "This celebration must be grand and grand!" ”

xxxxxxxxx, the handsome account of Goshuhan.

Ge Shuhan, Li Changguo, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and the generals gathered together to discuss the matter of sending troops to Tianzhu.

"Hehe, it's finally time to destroy Tianzhu, it's good to destroy it."

"Tianzhu has a wide territory, many mouths, and is very rich, if it can be defeated, it will be of great benefit to Datang, don't miss the opportunity, you must destroy Tianzhu."

"It's a pity that Wang Xuance didn't destroy Tianzhu back then, but now, our opportunity has finally come, and it must be destroyed."

When the generals heard that they were going to send troops to destroy Tianzhu, they were all overjoyed and overjoyed, shouting that they were going to go to Tianzhu.

Wang Xuance, as a messenger, did not use a single soldier of the Tang Dynasty and almost destroyed Tianzhu, what a brave man, it is a well-known heroic story in the Tang Dynasty, who does not know, which one does not know? Now that the army is going to destroy Tianzhu, who can not be happy?

"Tianzhu's sugar, spices, and ivory are all good things, we must get more."

"Tianzhu's sugar is a good thing, Datang has to buy a lot from Tianzhu every year, but it's still not enough. This time, we destroyed Tianzhu, not only can we buy sugar from Tianzhu, but we can also arrest the craftsmen who make sugar to Chang'an, and ask them to teach us how to make sugar, and we will have endless sugar. ”

Among all the specialties of Tianzhu, the most memorable thing is sugar.

Sugar is naturally nothing in the future, it is very ordinary, as long as you like it, you can eat sugar every day. But in the Tang Dynasty, it was more expensive than gold. Because at that time, it was the beginning of the sugar industry, and after Tianzhu's sugar making technology was introduced to China, the Tang people knew that sweetness could also be obtained through sugar, and no longer just by honey.

However, although Tang Taizong twice sent people to Tianzhu to learn sugar making technology, because the cultivation of sugarcane has not yet formed a scale in China, it is impossible to produce sugar on a large scale, and mainly relies on imports from Tianzhu, which makes it unlikely that the Tang people can get a large amount of sugar, and they will not miss it.

Listening to the generals' discussions, Li Changguo smiled slightly and teased: "There is another thing in Tianzhu, which is very distinctive, but you haven't said it yet." ”

"Oh." The crowd became interested and hurriedly asked, "What is the prison army?" ”

Not only has the interest of the generals increased greatly, but even Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, and Li Guangbi are also very interested.

"The beauty of Tianzhu." Li Changguo said loudly.

"What kind of beauty can Tianzhu produce." The generals were disappointed and shook their heads fiercely.

"You don't know it, you don't know the uniqueness of Tianzhu Beauty." Li Changguo glanced at the generals and said in a mocking tone: "The beauties of Tianzhu are not only covered in jewels, but also wear nostrils and gold and silver ...... on their noses."

"Pierce the nostrils, isn't that a cow or a horse?" Li Sheng shook his head fiercely, with great disdain.

"You don't have elegant bones, it's really a bad scenery." Li Changguo rolled his eyes, the dress of Indian beauties is a must, and it is popular all over the world in later generations, he even compares beauties with cattle and horses, this Li Sheng is born to be the material of the scenery.

"Huh." The generals stared at Li Shengzhi and snickered.

"The beauties of Tianzhu can also sing and dance, ** unrestrained, people like Li Sheng are the most suitable, Li Sheng, this time to destroy Tianzhu, I will get you a few more." A wicked smile crossed the corner of Li Changguo's mouth.

"Yes." The generals echoed in unison, looking at Li Sheng's gloomy face, and laughing back and forth.

Ge Shuhan nodded heavily, patted Li Sheng on the shoulder, and said, "Li Sheng, this time you go with me to Tianzhu, this Tianzhu beauty is enough, how many you want." ”

"Spare me." Li Sheng snorted, making the generals laugh again.

"The marshal, the supervising army, the Nepalese envoy asks to see you." At this moment, the guards came in and reported to Brother Shuhan and Li Changguo.

"Nepalese emissary?" Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo quickly exchanged glances, and they were greatly surprised.

"What are Nepalese envoys coming for?" Ge Shuhan asked Li Changguo.

Li Changguo frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be a bad thing, it's likely to be a show of goodwill, and it may even be a request for peace." If we destroy Tibet, Nepal will also be terrified. ”

"Call him in." Ge Shuhan agreed with this judgment very much, and said: "We are still dealing with Tibetan affairs at the moment, and we have not had time to deal with Nepal, but the Nepalese envoy came first, and it seems that Nepal is very frightened. ”

"Do you need to talk about that? Nepal is too small, the Tang Dynasty is going to be destroyed, how can you not be afraid of things at your fingertips? Li Bai nodded heavily.

Footsteps sounded, and the guards led a middle-aged man in his forties. The middle-aged man was dressed in a fur hat and dressed in the same way as Tibet. Hanging his head down, cautious, he didn't dare to make an air.

"I've seen the marshal, I've seen the prison army." This person saluted Brother Shuhan and Li Changguo with great respect.

Ge Shuhan waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." What are you doing here? ”

"The little one came on the order of my king, and he is willing to sacrifice his land to the Tang Dynasty." The envoy's head lowered, and he was more respectful, and said: "Nepal is a small country with weak strength and a small land, so please don't dislike it." ”

Look at him like that, as if he was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would refuse to accept it.

"Dedication?" The generals were surprised for a while, very expected.

Even Li Changguo was also surprised, he thought that the most he could do was to seek peace, but where did he think that Nepal would surrender. It is surprising that Nepal surrendered before they could deal with Nepal.
