Chapter 327: Borrowing Troops to Tibet

Half a month later, Changsun Chong hurried carefully all the way, and there were still ten days to reach the designated place, and Changsun Chong's task was completed.

Changsun Chong didn't dare to be careless along the way, and arranged for many people to stand guard in the middle of the night. That's the rations of a hundred thousand troops. Cheng Yanjin went to Tubo to borrow soldiers, so he couldn't let the Tubo soldiers bring their own dry food.

Let's say that Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji took light horses and quickly whipped their horses to Tubo, according to their previous calculations, this Songtsen Gampo will agree to borrow troops, but how much they can borrow, this is still unknown!

When Songtsen Gampo heard the report from the scout, he was surprised, what is this Tang Dynasty doing here? He didn't rebel, he just made a little move on Tuguhun, this Tang Dynasty wouldn't be for Tuyuhun, right?

If you think about it carefully, it's not, today's Tuyuhun civil strife and anti-Tang Dynasty began again, and it is impossible for Datang to stand up for Tuyuhun. Then the only possibility now is that Datang wants to deal with Tuyuhun, and when he comes to Tubo, it is estimated that he is here to inform him, and he should not act rashly in Tubo.

A few days later, Songtsen Gampo received the arrival of Cheng Biting Jin, the general of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ji. Hey, although I haven't seen it, Songtsan Gampo has long heard of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and this Cheng Biting Jin and Li Jing are famous!

It stands to reason that Datang wants to teach Tuyuhun a lesson and inform Tubo that he only needs to send an unknown envoy, there is no need to send a general over, and it is also two generals.

Songtsen Gampo couldn't sit still, wondering what was going on with them coming? I am afraid that if I neglect the general of the Celestial Empire, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Songtsen Gampo was worried, worried about whether he had offended the Tang Dynasty by doing things recently, and by the way, he even cleaned up his Tubo. After thinking about it carefully, Songtsen Gampo felt that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to use troops against Tubo, and even if they used troops, they were not so hasty, and it was still when Tuyuhun rebelled.

If it is carried out at the same time with Tuyuhun and Tubo. Then Datang will be in danger, the belly and back will be affected by the enemy, and the soldiers will be taboo.

Since it's not, then Datang just has something else to ask for.

Thinking of this, Songtsen Gampo felt a little relieved in his heart, as long as it was not to attack Tibet, other matters could be discussed. Tubo is now followed by Nepal, there is the Tang Dynasty in front of it, Tuyuhun is in a bad situation!

Datang is rich in products. Outstanding people, where can Datang ask for something? It's nothing more than the right time, the right place, and the right people.

I have to say that this Songtsen Gampo is a hero, able to unify Tibet, and promote the development of Tibet. There is a furrow in the chest, and it is shrewd!

Songtsen Gampo had people sweep the streets. Lined up to welcome. Welcome Cheng Biting Jin, Li Ji entered the city.

Cheng Biting Jin and Li Ji are both coming to Tubo for the first time, and they think it is quite interesting to see the buildings that are different from those in the Central Plains. This Songtsen Gampo is a talent, and he dares to let them in. It was also sent to the Tibetan people to greet them.

Many Tibetan people have heard of the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu, and they are said to be as powerful as gods, so they are curious, so they come out to see it......

Songtsen Gampo personally came to greet him. Fortunately, he learned some sweaty words before, and it was also to prepare for Datang and his relatives, but he didn't expect that he couldn't ask for relatives, but now he actually uses it.

"The fact that the two great generals of the Celestial Empire were able to come to Tubo really made the whole country of Tubo celebrate." Songtsen Gampo said approvingly, "We have prepared delicious food and wine, now let's enter the palace together." ”

Li Ji stepped forward and said, "Thank you Ganbu for your hospitality, and we are deeply grateful on behalf of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire." ”

"It should be, it should be, please inside." Songtsen Gampo said modestly and welcomed the two into the palace.

Although the building outside is ordinary, the palace is magnificently repaired. Oh, that master is shining, isn't it really made of gold?

Cheng Biting Jin stepped forward and buckled it with his hand, oops, he slapped his swollen face and became fat, it turned out to be gold-plated.

Along the way, marching in a hurry, eating dry food, and the mouth was about to fade out of the bird, Cheng Yanjin was excited when he saw the roast sheep and roast suckling pig, and sat down and began to eat and drink without waiting for greeting.

"Ahem!" Li Ji felt ashamed, coughed twice, and reminded Cheng not to go too far.

Cheng Yanjin raised his head, held a leg of mutton, and said: "Songtsen Gampo once asked His Majesty Qiu Qiu Guoqing, if it weren't for the bastards in Tuyuhun who were obstructing him, he would now be His Majesty's son-in-law." Although it didn't work out, the intention of the dry cloth is commendable, and it is rumored that the dry cloth is hospitable, even if I am rude, I believe that the dry cloth will be tolerant. ”

As soon as Songtsen Gampo heard this, his mind became more and more active, and when he heard this tone, it seemed that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was relieved, and said with a smile on his face: "The two generals, when they are in their own homes, these things are prepared for the two generals, and there is no need to be polite." Our Tubo has been friends with the Tang Dynasty for generations, if it weren't for Tugu Hun making trouble, Tubo is estimated to be a family with the Celestial Empire now. ”

"That's what Ganbu said!" Cheng Biting Jin took a bite of mutton, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which was very good.

Li Ji saw that Songtsen Gampo said this, and he was not polite, the cups were staggered, and he ate and drank with Songtsen Gampo. Cheng Biting Jin was even more unambiguous, eating and drinking nonsense for a while.

"The two generals came from afar, there must be something important, but if we can contribute to Tibet, we must do our best." Songtsen Gampo put his posture very low, thinking that since Datang had recognized Tuyuhun's true face, it would be easier for him to ask for a kiss later.

But before that, he has to do better. If you want to get the benefits of Datang, you naturally have to make some efforts first. In the words of the Han people in the Central Plains, it is not to give up the child and not to find the wolf.

"Since Ganbu said it, then I won't hide it. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty sent the two of us here to borrow troops. Now the weather is cold, and the climate in Tuyuhun is even more severe. Datang is not easy to transfer troops for a while, and even if the troops are transferred, the environment there will not be adaptable. Since you want to quell the rebellion and fight, you naturally have to have the right time, place and people, and you can't get it, but you can't stick it, otherwise where is the power of Datang, so Your Majesty remembered that Ganbu already admired Datang and was friendly with Datang, so he put forward this reluctant request! Li Ji explained that as long as this Tubo ganpo is not a fool, he will agree.

If you don't agree, you will offend Datang, and if you want to mention friendship, harmony and the like in the future, get out! Not only are there no doors, but there are no windows either.

When Songtsen Gampo heard this, his eyes rolled, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and promised to borrow troops in the end, whether the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

Tuyuhun rebelled, and it was indeed difficult for Datang to transfer troops, but it was definitely not impossible, but it was time-consuming and laborious. If you borrow troops from Tibet, it will save a lot of trouble, after all, Tubo and Tuyuhun often fight and are very experienced; Secondly, the soldiers of Tibet have adapted to the local climate.

Tubo lent troops to the Tang Dynasty, so the matter of harmony can definitely be done, I heard that there are many princesses to marry. When the time comes, knock on the side and ask for what they want, I believe that the Tang Emperor will not be able to refuse.

And with the arrival of Princess Datang, it is just right to deal with the current princess of Nepal. Previously, he used the power of Nepal to unify Tibet. Now that the country has been calmed down and living and working in peace and contentment, there have also been difficult things that cannot be broken, and it is easy to ask God to send God, and the power of Nepal has begun to penetrate into Tibet.

also knows that the princess of the Tang Dynasty can withstand the power of Nepal, because Nepal can not take Tubo in its eyes, but it will never dare to be rampant in front of the Tang Dynasty.

Then he can sit and watch the power of Nepal and the power of the Tang princess fight, and he will benefit.

After thinking about this, Songtsen Gampo finally nodded and said, "Since the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty said it, this king fully agrees." It's just that Tubo is not stable in the country, but I'm afraid that I can't borrow a lot, 50,000 soldiers is good? ”

Songtsen Gampo was worried that they would not be able to borrow it, so he figured it out and said a number. There are a total of 200,000 troops in the country, and lending 50,000 cannot pose a threat to Tibet.

Besides, these 50,000 Tubo soldiers, their families are all in Tubo, and they are not worried that these people will help the Tang Dynasty deal with Tubo.

The 50,000 soldiers were inferred from within the Tang Dynasty based on the actual situation in Tibet and Songtsen Gampo's personal situation.

50,000 is enough, Datang still has 50,000 troops, adding up, it's enough.

Tuyuhun itself began to be disrupted internally, separated and scattered into several strands, and was not afraid.

Li Ji stood up, saluted and said, "Thank you Ganbu for your righteous action, 50,000 troops are enough!" ”

"Well, this king will prepare grain and grass for them now, and set off in three days, is that good? The two generals can also rest in Tibet. Songtsen Gampo proposed.

Hey, Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin looked at each other, this Tubo is too kind, and they actually bring their own grain and grass. It can be seen that the national strength of this Tubo is still very strong, and I don't care about this.

"Thank you Ganbu for your careful arrangement and allowing you to prepare the food and grass, I am really grateful. Originally, he should not have accepted the gift of dry cloth, but General Ben thought about it, if the Tubo soldiers were not used to the meal prepared by our Datang, it would also affect the whole army at that time. That general accepted the gift of dry cloth on behalf of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, the general will definitely report to His Majesty and give Tubo and Ganbu a generous thanks! Li Ji's brain turned fast, don't want it in vain, and ask for it in vain.

The road is far away, and it is very difficult to transport grain and grass.

Songtsan Gan was full of smiles, a good man did it to the end, although it was indeed painful to prepare 50,000 people of grain and grass, but if he immediately destroyed Tuyuhun, he could also get a lot of benefits.

In the words of the Han people, it is the first to get the moon when entering the water building, and Tubo is close to Tuyuhun, and there will definitely be a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and slaves, which are equivalent to grain and grass money.

"The general is polite, this is a little bit of the king's heart. When the victory is triumphant, the king will continue to send a courtship to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so that the people of Tubo can also feel the grace of the Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo took the opportunity to say that this was the main purpose.

"Ganbu, don't worry, General Ben and General Cheng can still speak in front of His Majesty, and they will definitely give Ganbu good words." Li Ji got the benefits, of course, he couldn't forget to be obedient, and stroked down the hair of Songtsan Gampo. (To be continued......)
