Chapter Twenty-Nine: Distant Thoughts

When Duhe heard Sasandi say this, he reluctantly put the little Tibetan lion in his arms on the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The little guy grinned and ran to the side where no one was, looking at everyone vigilantly, the yellow hair on his body stood up, just because the neck was tied with a rope, it was also powerless to escape, that look was both mighty and a little pitiful, and Du He was a little heartbroken when he saw it.

After settling down, he invited Sasandi and his party to the mansion to talk, asked people to prepare tea, and asked about the situation in Tibet.

In recent years, he has been relatively busy, and he has not paid attention to the situation in Tibet, and when he saw Sasandi today, he remembered that there was another Songtsen Gampo in Tibet. At the beginning, because of the severe plateau climate in Tibet, he wisely persuaded Li Shimin to avoid the war, and finally forced Tubo to cede a place in Qinghai, making them pay the price in exchange for peace.

But Du He knows in his heart that Songtsen Gampo is very ambitious, and he is the kind of hero who is not willing to be left behind, as long as Tubo becomes strong, he will become a confidant of the Tang Dynasty, and he still cares a little about the situation in Tubo.

There is a deep friction between Zhangxiong and Tibet, and the relationship has always been in a dangerous state.

Listening to this question, he also understood Du He's worries, knowing that the Tang Dynasty was not completely at ease with Tubo, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Xiangxiong has 100,000 troops in the northwest, and it is not a weak country, but Tubo is stronger.

Although after the great victory of Jiaochuan Road, the strength of Tubo was greatly reduced, and the strength of the army was no longer superior to that of the Xiangxiong State, but the soldiers were wise and brave, and the ministers were wise, but the Xiangxiong Kingdom was much inferior.

In particular, the king of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo, was both civil and military, and since he was thirteen years old, he led his troops to fight, and only one defeat. The country of Zhangxiong is a remote and small country, with a vast area and sparsely populated population, and it is really difficult to find an existence that is comparable to Songtsen Gampo.

Songtsen Gampo has also been eyeing the Xiongguo country, just because of Duhe, the Xiangxiong country has established good diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and does not dare to act rashly. As long as Songtsen Gampo dominates the southwest and does not die, sooner or later the Xiangxiong Kingdom will meet with the Tubo soldiers.

The Tang Dynasty is unwilling to sit back and watch Tubo grow, which means that when he attacks the Xiangxiong Kingdom in the future, the Tang Dynasty will not sit idly by.

Immediately, Sasandi told Duhe about the recent movements of Tibet.

Du He couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this: This Songtsen Gampo is too cute, or Lu Dongzan has too high a status in Songtsen Gampo's heart. At the beginning, in order to make the Tubo people agree to the resolution of the Tang Dynasty to cut land and pay compensation, he asked people to imitate Lu Dongzan's handwriting, led the disaster to the east, and instigated Songtsen Gampo to raise troops to attack Nanzhao. Unexpectedly, this Songtsen Gampo was really obedient, and after a year of preparation, the invasion of Nanzhao was launched in the second year.

Nanzhao is not a soft persimmon, you can pinch it if you want to.

Although it was still a slave country, it was the whole of what is now Yunnan, plus part of Vietnam and Burma, and it was dominated by mountains and forests, and the geographical environment was extremely treacherous. The Nanzhao people are also good at poison and occupy a geographical advantage. Not to mention Tubo, even if it is the Tang Dynasty, if it does not dispatch more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, it will not be able to take it in a short time.

So there was some tragedy in Tibet, and it hit a hard nail.

In these two years, Tibet launched three large-scale invasions in succession, and the largest army even reached 100,000 troops. In every major battle, Tubo was able to achieve certain results and win several beautiful battles, but in the end, they had to withdraw due to various factors derived from going deep into the enemy's hinterland.

After two years of continuous fighting, there was an irresolvable feud between Tubo and Nanzhao, and the border battles between the two countries had become commonplace.

In the past two years, the national strength has become weaker and weaker, almost exhausted the foundation that he has accumulated over the years, and the Tubo Empire that can confront the Tang Dynasty in later generations has lost the best opportunity to rise.

Having said that, Du He still didn't dare to underestimate a historical celebrity like Songtsen Gampo, and said in his heart: "Since Sasandi wants to mix with my Tang Dynasty, a big tree in the sky, as a support, you might as well use him to monitor Tubo's every move, in case he grows stronger again and becomes a stumbling block to the Tang Empire." ”

Duho sent Sasandi out of the mansion.

It is easy to talk to smart people, Zhangxiong is not as good as Tubo, Duhe does not want to see the rise of Tubo, the two hit it off, and they reached a secret agreement that was not explicitly stated.

Alone in the secluded place of the side courtyard, Du He took out the letter that Princess Yaochi gave him, and after reading a few words, his heart felt warm.

The first two words of the letter are "Miss you!" ”

Then he wrote: "Well, my handwriting is good!" Now I write every word by myself! After returning to Zhangxiong, I started thinking about you, thinking about it so much. There is a saying in your Tang Dynasty, called ** house and birds, which means that if you like a person, you will even like the birds in his house. I wanted to know more about you, so I invited a gentleman to start learning about your Tang Dynasty culture, so that I could write a letter to you in person. Before this letter, I had sent two letters, but there was no news, and even the sender did not come back. It may be that the distance is too far, there was an accident, and it was not delivered. I hope so, if it is delivered, and you don't reply to me, then I will die of sadness. ”

"Some time ago, I learned that I was going to send an envoy to Chang'an to celebrate His Majesty's birthday of the Tang Dynasty, but I was very happy. I haven't slept for a few nights, and I can't sleep at night. I always think about what it will look like to meet again, whether you have forgotten me, whether you miss me as much as I miss you. ”

"It's a pity, father, that he is sick, and the wizard says that he will not be able to support him for long, and that he will probably have to obey the call of the mountain god and serve the mountain god with his soul. I really want to come, I really want to see you, but I can't leave my father behind, my father is like this, I can't leave ......"

"Did you receive the Tibetan lion I gave you? Take good care of it, and I hope you will think of me when you see it. It's like when I see the jade pendant you drop, I think of you. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Let me tell you a secret, I keep my oath, and I keep it now, and I will keep it until I forget you. ”

As an alien girl, Yao Chi adheres to an extremely straightforward character, and all her thoughts are revealed in the letter.

Du He read the letter several times, felt the affection in the letter, and the taste of a hundred turns came to his heart, and recalled the oath of Princess Yaochi when he said goodbye, "I don't know how much I like you, but as long as I don't forget you, I won't marry." Is it a year, a five, or a decade...... I don't know it myself."

Thinking of this, Du He only felt panicked in his heart, as if he had apologized for a debt from someone else.

"Forget it, what to do if you think so much, if you don't actually act, even if you think about it thousands of times, it will be in vain." He clenched his fists and made a decision.

The little Tibetan lion is so cute, the appearance of the mighty lion, people can't help but hold it in their arms and caress it, but it's a pity that the character is too bad, and it is fierce to everyone, either biting teeth or claws, making people a little helpless.

Fortunately, before leaving, Sasandi had asked the dog trainer to guide him to some techniques for raising and training Tibetan lions, and of course, the key to recognizing the master.

The Tibetan lion is extremely intelligent, has a high level of spirituality, can understand human speech, and can see people's instructions clearly.

It is clear who is good for it and who is bad for it.

Often the first person to take care of it with his heart and let it be regarded as the owner. As long as he shows friendliness and makes him feel warm, he will be wholeheartedly loyal to him until his master dies and he himself dies on hunger strike.

This is also the reason why there are very few Tibetan lions, ordinary Tibetan mastiffs can't do this, only the king of Tibetan mastiffs...... The Tibetan lion is so spiritual.

Duhe takes care of the little one according to Sassandi's method, he already likes Tibetan mastiffs, even if Sasandi doesn't say it, he will do his best to take care of it. After ten days of continuous feeding, the little guy wagged his tail at Duhe for the first time, and he was no longer treated with grinning teeth.

At that time, Du He was happy, jumping three feet high, and he was as happy as a child.

Changle doesn't like the little guy very much, because on the first day the little guy entered the house, she bit her cat, if it weren't for the kitten's cleverness and climbing the tree, maybe it would be a corpse.

Looking at the bloody kitten, it can make Changle feel distressed.

Although Du He also likes kittens, he prefers little guys, and he maintains them everywhere, and Changle has no way.

Li Xueyan likes the little guy very much, but the little guy is too fierce, she only dares to watch from a distance and does not dare to touch it closely.

As January 23 approaches, Chang'an is becoming more and more lively.

Envoys from various countries gathered, and the whole Chang'an presented a festive atmosphere.

As General Zuo Weiwei, Du He has been extremely busy these days.

Zuo Weiwei was in charge of the garrison on the east side of the imperial city, which was precisely the place where the Tang Dynasty entertained the envoys and VIPs of various countries.

Most of the envoys who came were figures with heads and faces, and there were also some hostile forces, and they lived in one place, so it was inevitable that there would be quarrels and private fights.

For three consecutive days, there were more than three private fights between Du He and himself.

On this day, when he was in the barracks to deal with military affairs, he received news of the envoy's private fight.

"Such a bastard, there is no end!" Du He asked Luo Tong to deal with the matter, but no one could be found for the time being, so Fang Yiai took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that it would be handled properly.

Du He gave him a blank look, and letting this guy deal with this kind of thing would only make things bigger, so he had no choice but to go on a trip in person.

When I came to the place of the incident, I immediately saw that the two of them were fighting on the street, you came and went, fists to the flesh, and there was no mercy in the shot, and I took a look at it and found that one of them he knew, it was the Dadu set who was going to rob him of Changle and let him defeat him, and the other one was also a strong man, and it looked like he should be an Eastern Turk.

They were all red-eyed, and they didn't know what had happened, and they actually killed each other.
