"As soon as they came, even I was curious, is there such a coincidence?" In the Wude Palace, several Wude Hall scholars sat on the brocade bench, Li Xingao sat on the throne, he raised the fold in his hand and said: "The stubbornness of the mind is coming, Lu Dongzan is coming, and the Turks and Tubo people are coming, do you think this is a coincidence?" ”

"Your Majesty thinks there is a collusion between the two?" Du Ruhui was silent for a while and said.

"There's no such coincidence!" Li Xin said with a smile: "What does this Songtsan Gampo want to do?" Want to marry my daughter? Do you think it's possible? Although Li Xin's face was full of smiles, the entire hall was filled with a trace of coldness, which made Du Ruhui and the others feel scared in their hearts, Li Xin was definitely not such a person, who could marry his daughter to a foreign country.

"Songtsen Gampo is bold and reckless, and the barbarians also want to marry the daughter of the heavenly family, which is simply looking for death." The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, I think that I am afraid that the Turks will make trouble in this matter." Otherwise, where is such a coincidence? ”

"Your Majesty, Shen Qianqiu asks to see you." Song He walked in and whispered.

"Come, let's take a look at the situation in Tibet today." Li Xin asked Shen Qianqiu to come in, beckoned everyone and said, "Did he collude with the Turks, or did he sincerely come to ask for marriage?" If it's the latter, there's no need to be too harsh, if it's the former, I don't mind sending troops to teach this guy a lesson. I heard that he is the age of the weak crown, younger than me, and now he has become the head of a country. It's just that I don't have the habit of being close to Datang. Not now, not in the future, relying on a woman to maintain peace and maintain stability on the frontier, what do you need soldiers to do, and what do you need men to do? ”

"Your Majesty." Everyone nodded. These people had a complicated feeling in their hearts, Li Xin's words were not only said to everyone, but also to future monarchs. Datang will never have anything to do with each other in the future.

"The Turks have been very active lately! Although the Turkic envoys have not yet arrived in Chang'an, there are already people in Chang'an City who have suggested agreeing to the peace talks, do you think that someone is secretly pushing behind this, or do the people of the world think so? Li Xin suddenly said: "Yesterday, Yushitai sent a recital, saying that the road from Chang'an to Hanzhong has been completed, is it not to let those road construction troops rest and give them better supplies, so that they can continue to build the road next time." ”

"If it's a long-term solution, these people can't all die." Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence. Although these Turks deserve their crimes, if they all die, they will have to catch some people next time, and it is still useful to think that these people will be of some use, so it is better to give them a little food, just like cutting meat, spending a small amount of money, you can get more benefits. It can also save some people's power, so why not? ”

"Yes. What Xiao Qing said is very true, these people can't all die. You can give them a little better to eat, but you can't feed them all, and God knows what will happen when they are fed. Just make sure they don't die. Li Xin thought for a while and said: "These guys have lost half of their lives, but in the end, they are battle-hardened soldiers, if they are given something to eat, they will recover their energy." We don't know what to expect. ”

"Your Majesty, this is information from Songtsen Gampo." Shen Qianqiu walked in, holding a stack of papers in his hand. But it was very thin, only a few pieces of paper, Li Xin frowned.

"Because in the past, most of us paid attention to the Turks and the Li family, or Goguryeo, and did not pay special attention to Tibet, although there were some business travelers, but there were very few things that business travelers could get. The minister will definitely pay attention to Tibet in the future. Shen Qianqiu seemed to know what Li Xin wanted to say, and hurriedly explained.

"Yes." Li Xin nodded, he knew that this had something to do with him, that is, Li Xin did not pay special attention to the country on the plateau, a country that was still in a barbaric society, although it had some combat effectiveness, but it could not be compared with the Tang Dynasty, in history, after Princess Wencheng married Tubo, Tubo had a rapid development, and after Xuanzong, it also occupied a lot of land in the Central Plains. Li Xin has no good impression of this place. He would not be willing to let his daughter marry into Tibet. The so-called harmony made him even more disdainful.

"Your Majesty, if there is really collusion between the Tibetans and the Turks, this courtship is just an excuse, and the minister thinks that he will have to prepare early." Du Ruhui said: "Songtsen Gampo this person is young, he can quickly unify the plateau after the death of his Lao Tzu, which shows that this person is also an ambitious person, he will attack the Central Plains sooner or later, the plateau is different from our Central Plains, the minister looked at the above content, and the merchants along the way said, if you want to enter Tubo, not everyone can, Tubo is blessed by ghosts and gods, and Songtsan Gampo can drive ghosts and gods to kill anyone who wants to enter Tubo. Although the theory of ghosts and gods is very absurd, it can also show that it is very difficult to attack Tibet. ”

Li Xin smiled dumbly, he knew that this was not a ghost, but altitude sickness, people who were used to staying in the Central Plains, some people would have altitude sickness when they entered the plateau, not to mention marching and fighting, it was inconvenient to move, and even death would happen. This is called the curse. This kind of thing is still very marketable in this day and age.

"Everyone's physique is different, and some people have some difficulty breathing when they go from low to high places, and even breathless, and there is a danger of death. It's called a curse. Command the three armies to select those who can enter the plateau among the three armies. Or recruit soldiers and horses near Tibet, or select strong people, you can't rush into Tibet, but you can get used to it! In order to avoid the time, we can only deal passively. Li Xin thought for a while and said. In the face of a young man, he must be an ambitious person, and such a person will attack the Central Plains sooner or later. Li Xin: This is taking precautions.

"Yes." Du Ruhui nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "I don't know who Your Majesty is going to let lead the army?" ”

"The edict of Wuwei County is to solemnly garrison Shancheng, and the edict of Lieutenant Chi Gong is to garrison Songzhou, and the two of them each lead 50,000 troops to train soldiers and horses, ready for emergencies. Then the Golden Tooth Department, the Wangbu Department, the Mangbu Department, the Servant Department, and the Barbarian Department came to Chang'an to see the Son of Heaven. Li Xin thought for a while and said. The Golden Tooth Division, the Wangbu Division, the Mangbu Division, the Servant Division, and the Barbarian Department are all ethnic minorities in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, which are similar to Tubo and are also a way to attack Tubo.

"Yes." Du Ruhui hurriedly ordered someone to write the holy decree, and after waiting for Li Xin's seal, he distributed it.

"Let people find more information about Fusang, Silla, Tubo and other countries, and then publish it on Tang Feng, so that everyone in the world can know about these countries." Li Xin instructed Shen Qianqiu and said: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, this is my advantage of Datang, and I can't lose it." ”

"The minister immediately asked the Jinyi guard to dispatch." A trace of cold sweat appeared on Shen Qianqiu's forehead. (To be continued.) )
