On the one hand, Li Ang was advised by Yang Nan to avoid the political whirlpool of Chang'an as soon as possible and avoid Longyou, and now for him, Longyou is the best place.

Because of the successive victories, he has a very high prestige in Longyou, and Dong Yanguang, the enemy, is gone, so he can let go of his hands and feet.

On the other hand, Tubo, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty, has the internal responsibility of the Subi Department, and he can do more in Longyou.

So Li Ang took advantage of this time to throw out the Ping Fan policy.

Of course, he spoke very cautiously, just to provide Li Longji with a possibility, and never boasted that he would definitely be able to pacify Tibet.

You must know that Tibet is a powerful country with an army of 600,000 troops, and it is located on a plateau, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the Yanying Palace, quietly, the palace maids made new tea, and after Li Ang took the thanks, he said seriously: "Your Majesty, when the minister led his troops deep into Tibet, he broke through many Tibetan tribes in a row, and interrogated a lot of inside the Tibetan tribes from the mouths of the chiefs of these tribes. Because of the complexity of the various parts of Tibet, the vast land and sparsely populated population, and the fact that most of them live on nomadic herds, it is difficult for Tubo to adopt the county system of vertical rule by the central government like the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the political system of Tibet was equivalent to an alliance of various tribes. Under Zampu, each tribe has a leader, and the leaders of these tribes are hereditary and have the autonomy of the lord over their own clan, similar to the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This political system can be maintained while its Zamp is strong, and it will inevitably fall apart once its Zamp's control falls.

The four major tribes of Tibet, Subi, Yangtong, Dangxiang, and Tuyuhun, all had to surrender to Tubo after being defeated by Tibet.

One of which was Subi when his queen was in power. The strength is stronger than that of the Tibetan headquarters, and the degree of civilization is also higher. When the minister was in Tibet, he heard that there were many people in the Subi tribe who were unwilling to be ruled by Tibet;

The Subi tribe is strong. The grain and grass of the Tibetan soldiers and horses are half out of Subi. Therefore, Tubo Zampu was also extremely jealous of the king of Subi, and for many years he stayed in the king of Suri for various reasons, and did not allow him to return to the subi headquarters;

This time, after the ministers used discord to prompt the Tubo Zampu to purge the Dayan Ministry, on the surface it seemed that things quickly calmed down, but the impact of this incident on the Tubo Ministries, the aftermath of the aftermath was far from subsided. The suspicion of the Tibetan tribes has become stronger, which will inevitably make the tribes more alienated.

When the minister was in Tibet. He once caught a general from the Subi Department, and he claimed to the minister that as long as the minister released him, he would definitely try his best to persuade the King of Subi to come to my Tang Dynasty. At that time, the minister thought that he was just saying this for the sake of survival, but the minister felt that it was just a general, and killing him would not have much effect, so he let him go back with the heart of trying;

Not long after the minister returned to Shanzhou. There is a princess Zhuoma in the Subi tribe who really sent that general to contact Weichen, although this general is very cautious, but his venture to Shanzhou itself shows that the Subi tribe does have the heart to vote for the Tang Dynasty......"

When Li Ang said this, Li Longji was already moved. couldn't help but interrupt him: "Li Ang, is this matter serious? ”

Li Ang arched his hand and replied, "Your Majesty, such a big deal. How dare Weichen open his mouth? It's just that at that time, Weichen was just a small soldier Cao joined the army, and he didn't dare to promise anything to the other party. Because it is a matter of life and death for the Subi tribe. The general was too cautious, because the minister had spared his life. He only believed in his ministers, but he did not want to go with me to meet Wang Zhonghe, the heir of the king, and the ambassador;

The minister also had to tell him that if the Subi Department was really sincere in attaching himself to the Tang Dynasty, after letting him go back, he would ask Princess Zhuoma of the Subi Department to secretly send someone to Chang'an to face the king. When the time comes, His Majesty will not be false in the promises he makes;

The envoy said that he could not be the master of this matter, and that he had to send Chang'an to go back and ask their princess Zhuoma. Subsequently, there were successive battles of Hechuan and Shibao, the border between the two countries, and the traffic was blocked. ”

Li Longji couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, Tubo was one of the most powerful enemies of the Tang Dynasty, always threatening the territory of Jiannan, Longyou, Hexi, and Anxi, Li Longji was full of ambition and wanted to make unprecedented achievements, so he naturally had a careful understanding of the situation in Tubo.

The Subi tribe is the largest tribe in Tibet, and if it can provoke the Subi tribe to vote, or cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, it will not be difficult to form a huge blow to Tibet, even a fatal blow.

Leon gave him hope, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Of course, Li Ang would definitely not let him down completely, so he continued: "Your Majesty, with the observation of the ministers, it should be true that the Subi Department has the intention to join the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the fact that many people in the Subi tribe were dissatisfied with the rule of Tibet, the suspicion of the Tibetan Zanpu towards the King of Subi became stronger and stronger;

Especially after the purge of the Dayan Ministry, the internal political environment in Tibet became more and more unstable, and it was normal for the Subi tribe to fear that they would become the next target of the purge;

It is understandable that the envoy of the Subi Department is more cautious, if the envoy of the Subi Department agrees to immediately attach himself to the Tang Dynasty, it is really not credible.

After all, the stakes are very high, and the two sides will inevitably make substantial progress only after they have made many contacts and tests to find out the sincerity of the other side. ”

"Well, you have a point." Li Longji calmed down and said, "It's really not possible, we can also take the initiative to send someone to contact the Subi Department to show our sincerity, so as to dispel some of their concerns." ”

"Your Majesty, if you can trust the minister, after the minister returns to Longyou, he will immediately send someone to the Subi Department to contact the Princess Zhuoma of the Subi Department. As far as the minister knows, this princess Zhuoma began to lead the army to fight at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and rarely defeated, when the prestige of the Subi Department was very high, and the king of Subi was stranded in Luo, the affairs of her ministry were mostly handled by this princess Zhuoma, and contacting her was equivalent to contacting the king of Subi. ”

"Okay, I give you a holy decree, and you will be fully responsible for this matter, and you will rest in Chang'an for a few more days, and then rush back to Longyou."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, and I will do my best." Li Ang saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers expect that after the successive defeats of the Stone Fort and others, the Tibetans will soon send envoys to sue for peace. The minister thought that to hit the prestige of Tubo Zampu, and then promote the collapse of the hearts of the people of all parts of Tubo, this time my Datang must not accept Tubo's request for peace, once my Datang accepted Tubo's request for peace, Tubo will have a chance to breathe, can stop and lick the wounds, smooth out the internal contradictions;

If Tubo is allowed to recuperate for a few more years, its vitality will soon recover. On the contrary, if the Tang Dynasty takes advantage of the power of a great victory and constantly exerts heavy pressure, the internal contradictions in Tibet will definitely be further intensified, which will also be more conducive to dividing the various departments in Tibet. ”

The previous words of Li Ang were mainly from a military perspective, but the latter remarks were improved from a political perspective.

This is another height, Li Ang is young, he has such knowledge, Li Longji couldn't help but nod his head frequently to express his approval, and felt that he was indeed a rare talent.

"Li Ang, this matter is also up to you, if you have any suggestions, you might as well tell them all."

Li Ang continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the value of the Subi Department is not how many people he has to join the Tang Dynasty, but how much damage it can cause to Tibet. Therefore, the minister thought that as long as the Subi tribe had a heart, it was not necessary for him to come and attach it immediately;

The minister once made such an assumption, when the time is ripe, my Tang Dynasty gathered heavy troops, a large-scale attack on Tibet, if we can force Tubo Zampu to lead the army to conquer in person, then the two armies will face each other, or fall into a fierce battle, the people and horses of the Subi Department suddenly turn against each other, our army will take advantage of the momentum to attack on, what kind of scene will it be? ”

The scene depicted by Li Ang made Li Longji's heart pound, think about it, if such a situation can really be formed, even if it can't pacify Tibet in one fell swoop, at least it can beat Tibet to death.

This thing is not difficult to say, Tubo is different from the Tang Dynasty, it is common for Zampu to conquer in person, as long as it is a large-scale battle, most of Zampu will be in person.

The key lies in whether or not we can convince the Subi Division, even if we can't make all the people of the Subi Department defect, when the two armies are fighting bloodily, as long as a few thousand men and horses choose a good time to suddenly defect, it is enough to make the enemy's army chaotic.

In short, the blueprint that Li Ang drew for Li Longji had already made him want to stop, if it weren't for the fact that Li Ang had only returned to Beijing for a few days and hadn't even taken down the new official uniform, he probably couldn't help but give an order for Li Ang to rush back to Longyou to contact the Subi Ministry.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, if you want the Subi tribe to be willing to cooperate with our dynasty to pacify Tibet, you must promise some benefits. And if this benefit is less, the Subi tribe may not be willing to agree. ”

Li Jilong bowed his head and said: "This is natural, I am the son of heaven, how can I be stingy with rewards, after the matter is completed, I will not treat the Subi Department badly." ”

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, empty promises are not enough, we must give specific conditions before it is possible to convince the Subi Ministry, after all, this move is a huge risk for the Subi Ministry."

"Well, let's do it, Rong Zhen think about it, what kind of reward should be given to the Subi Department after the matter is completed, and when you return to Longyou, I will give you a specific will."

"Your Majesty, Weichen has another suggestion, lobbying about the matter of the Subi Ministry, and it is not appropriate for too many people to know about it at present, so as not to leak it out."

"Hahaha......" Li Longji looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "Li Ang, you don't have to worry about this, I know it in my heart." ”

"Hehe, Mrs. Chen wants to get this done, but she can't help but be a little verbose, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Li Ang, you are a rare talent, I am very relieved, if you can persuade the Subi tribe to join and defeat Tubo this time, I will definitely be rewarded."

"The minister must do his best to serve the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty."

When Li Ang left the Yanying Palace, it was already afternoon, and the few snacks he ate had already been digested, and his stomach was already rumbling again.

He scolded secretly while leaving the palace, Li Longji, who was a fart, was stingy, and said something about rewarding, Lao Tzu was hungry to give you advice, and he didn't say that he would leave a meal or something.
