"Maga, what are you looking for me?" Songtsen Gampo sat on it, lowered his head and gently plucked the butter tea in the cup, and said lightly.

Hearing that his sister wanted to see him outside the tent, Songtsen Gampo hesitated, but still let his men disperse, and the maids waiting for the guards in the tent also retreated and met his sister alone.

Zanmon Saimaga bit her red lip lightly, she knew that her brother Zampu was deliberate, and his gaze seemed to be unwilling to see his bulging belly, as if it was his shame.

"Brother," Zanmong Sama called out in a low voice.

Songtsan Ganbulen paused for a moment, couldn't help but raise his head, glanced at his sister, and said with a smile: "It's windy outside, why don't you take a rest in the room?" Sit down first. ”

Since the father Langri Songtsen was killed, the thirteen-year-old Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne, he intended to establish his majesty, that is, from then on, Thammong Saima Gal also began to call him Zanpu brother, today a "brother", when it evoked Songtsen Gampo's nostalgia for the old friendship, thinking back then, Songtsen Gampo did not ascend the throne, Zanmeng Saimaga was still a little girl, the two played together, hunted together, bullied other children's children together, so good that you and me, so, this long-lost title, so that Songtsen Gampo gave birth to a lot of feelings.

It was these emotions that touched the heart that had not been hot for a long time, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.

Tsangmeng Saimaga sat down cautiously and smiled at Songtsen Gampo: "Brother, are you holding a military discussion?" ”

In the past, when the military was held, Zanmong Saimaga would be allowed to attend, and she would also sit in a very high position, in addition to her prominent and noble status and superb martial arts, there was also an unusually intelligent sea holly red for her to drive. But things have changed, and now she is pregnant with Liujia can no longer go to the battlefield, and Hong'er, who has folded her wings, is not as effective as a pheasant in the eyes of others.

Those who can go up, those who can't go down, the reality is terrifying.

Songtsen Gampo did not hide it either. He nodded and said, "Yes, these are extraordinary times, and some deployment is needed." ”

"Are you going to deal with Datang?" Zanmong Saimaga said a little anxiously: "Brother, why are we going to raid the Tang Dynasty, so far." It will be difficult for us to reconcile with Tibet and Datang. Now the territory is flat. Some of the fish that escaped the net also escaped to the depths of the desert, not all of them have been exterminated, and now they are enemies of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid, I am afraid that our life in Tibet will be more difficult, and it will be difficult to gain the trust of our neighbors in the future. Find an ally, and no one else will trust us. ”

Without believing in his words and tearing up the covenant, who will dare to believe in Tibet in the future? So. The Tibetans had no allies.

Songtsen Gampo had a resolute gaze in his eyes, and said confidently: "The eagle of our holy mountain has always been a lonely foraging, and there is no need to be beaten, because there is one more partner, the food in its mouth is like sharing half of it with others, a powerful eagle is not a helper, we under the holy mountain, are no exception, as for the war with Datang, I believe you also know the reason, it is a last resort, for example, the current Tubo is like a wounded wolf, and Datang is a bull, wolf is fierce, But now that he has been injured a little, although Gu Niu also has some old problems, he is large and stout, and every piece of his body comes to the wolf, which is a rare delicacy. ”

"Now the problem is, the little wolf has licked its wounds, even if it is stronger, but it is still a wolf, but once [the bull] has licked its wounds, it is no longer a cow, but a tiger that even wolves can't deal with and fight, so what must we do? It is before the cow becomes a tiger, knock off his limbs, so that the danger is reduced, if the Tang Dynasty is trained to be a soldier suitable for plateau combat, then I Tubo will no longer have the ability to compete for power, even if the luck is good, it can only be a couple, guarding this barren land and continuing to mix, the eagle can't fly out of Tubo, so can it still be called an eagle? I, Songtsen Gampo, would rather die a vigorous death than remain in obscurity. ”

There is a gamble but not to lose, once there is a chance, a crazy gambler dares to bet on the last copper plate on his body, and Songtsen Gampo is that crazy gambler.

Hearing this, Zanmong Saimaga lowered her head, she knew too well the personality of her brother, competitive and stubborn, once he decided on something and established a goal, it would be difficult for others to make him change his mind, let alone influence his thoughts.

"Brother, I heard that you are going to take the child in my womb to the blood sacrifice, is this true?" Tsenmun Saimaga finally asked the purpose of the trip.

"Yes"

"For what? He also has my blood in him. Tsamun Saimaga's emotions began to stir.

First it was negative, then it was feeling, slowly accepting the life in the womb, getting used to feeling his growth, getting used to enduring his fetal movements, the blood of the two was thicker than water, and now he was not born, he had to be sacrificed with blood, how could Zanmong Saima Kar endure this decision.

Speaking of children, Songtsen Gampo said coldly: "His existence has disgraced our great family and become a laughing stock on the plateau, and I do not allow this humble blood to be hidden in the noble blood, so he cannot live in this world." ”

Zanmong Saimaga said with red eyes: "But, but brother, you said that if Liu Yuan is obedient, you will do what he wants, and this is also a lie to him?" Tsangmum Sama asked, "Execute your own nephew and this lowly blood?" ”

"If he submits to me in Tibet, I will naturally make him a nobleman, how can he come, he will also be noble, and the child in your womb will not have to be burdened by him, and can be born smoothly, so let's do it, sister, you write him a letter and persuade him to come and surrender."

She didn't expect that her brother, who she regarded as her father, would actually use herself as a pawn in his struggle for hegemony, a bargaining chip, and those beautiful slave girls were no different in nature.

However, Zanmong Saimaga was not yet dead, and bit his lip and whispered: "Brother, he is also my flesh and blood, or he will be raised by ordinary people after birth, in the end, he is still your little nephew." ”

"No way!" Songtsen Gampo said with a serious face: "His existence has affected the unity of the monarch and ministers, and it will not be good for your marriage in the future, don't count on it, unless, unless that Liu Yuan is born and submitted, otherwise, this matter is absolutely impossible." ”

"Brother, if you deal with him, then, then I will also kill myself with my sword and go with him." Zanmong Saimaga suddenly said fiercely.

He is his own sister, he has respected him since he was a child, I heard him say that there are many bad people around him, ill-intentioned, and he can't find many people who can be trusted, as his sister, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, pulling a bow and arrows every day, practicing a good martial arts, and he also took great pains to raise a sea holly, with a female stream, to eradicate dissidents for him, charge into battle for him, and expand the land for him, in order to help the closest brother in this world, but now

When Songtsen Gampo heard this, he stood up at once, stared at Tsangmeng Saimaga, then slowly turned around, stared at the map, and said in a half-loud voice, "If you die, my brother will treat your funeral as a hero." ”

Zanmong Saimaga's face suddenly turned pale

"Report!" Zhao Fu said loudly to Liu Yuan: "Report to the general, there are fifty people in the Yangwei Army squad, and there are fifty people, please give the general a lecture." ”

Liu Yuan nodded at him and motioned him to return to the team, only then did he look at the soldiers under his command, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with henchmen, Zhao Fu, Qian Weiqiang, Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Wei Chi Baoqing, Tang Dashan, Chen Feng and others, all of them are their right-hand men, with strong ability and high loyalty, and just like that, if there is an opportunity to go on a business trip, Liu Yuan immediately pulled them up.

Although there were only fifty people, they were all in good spirits, standing there, not moving at all, like sculptures, those faces, as confident and resolute as ever, but at this moment, their faces were full of grief and indignation, and their eyes showed a fierce light from time to time.

The night breeze blows, the late autumn wind, with the slightest chill, standing on the hill, the mountain wind is very strong, but no matter how strong and cold the wind is, it can't blow out the fire in the hearts of the soldiers, thinking of the atrocities of the Tubo people, everyone is angry.

That Songtsan Gampo was very shrewd, and withdrew before the general Zuo Xiaowei and Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Fanguo, who guarded the western part of the Tang Dynasty, led heavy reinforcements, and saw that an army was coming, Liu Yuan did not stay in Songzhou City, which smelled disgusting, and led the troops to follow the Tubo army, but he did not expect the Tubo people to retreat very orderly, not chaotic at all, Liu Yuan only had fifty people under his command, no backup, did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch them leave.

Liu Yuan nodded to his subordinates, and then suddenly shouted: "Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Wei Chi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu, and Niu Shiming are out of the ranks." ”

Guan Yong and the others shouted loudly, and walked out, waiting for Liu Yuan's orders.

"The five of you, help Ben send an urgent letter to the emperor, the situation is urgent, the five of you must hurry up, there must be no mistakes."

On weekdays, these people should have responded early in the morning, but at this moment no one was silent, and Guan Yong gritted his teeth and said, "No, I refuse, General." ”

Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and shouted with a displeased face: "The military order is like a mountain, do you dare to disobey the order?" ”

"Don't go" Guan Yong stretched his neck and said stubbornly: "My subordinates know that the general wants to enter Tubo to save people, because we have special identities and dare not take us on adventures, even if the general wants to deal with it with military law, I won't leave." ”

"Who said I was going to save people,." Liu Yuan's face turned cold and flatly denied it.

Hou Jun said loudly: "General, do you want to deny it, first let us collect a large number of anti-altitude sickness medicinal materials, and then buy a large amount of grain and grass, and add more than ten war horses, it must be to save people, general, manly husband, make meritorious contributions, just now, general, don't drive us away, I went voluntarily, and my subordinates swore to follow the general." ”

"Swear to follow the general" All the soldiers present roared neatly and loudly, and some soldiers even clenched their fists. (To be continued......)
