934 People and the general trend
With the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the current situation of Tibet, Liu Yuan did not have any doubts about defeating and annexing Tibet, and naturally did not allow the emergence of a state within a state, and it was also the most fertile and fertile land in Tibet.
Subi. Bo Lilen paused for a moment, and said with some displeasure: "General Liu, can this king have a third choice?" According to your words, then our warriors of Subi can't be the pawns of the Tang Dynasty? ”
"No" Liu Yuan said categorically: "Queen, let's open the skylight and speak, you are the queen, that is the past, the present you, there is no vast territory, no subjects to support, no strong army, to put it bluntly, it is only a little better than the bandits and robbers, you have to find out a fact, now it is not that the Tang Dynasty has a request for you, but to give you a chance, a chance to start over, a chance to take revenge, how much ability you have, how much land you deserve, if you can conquer the whole territory of Tibet, Liu is in charge." So what, the question is, can you do it? In fact, the role of your Subi clan is even far inferior to the current Apo clan, and it is not good to be a pawn, but it is even sadder if a person does not even have the value of a pawn. ”
Subi. Polly's face turned pale, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to be a little cruel, and he said a little unfairly: "Even according to what General Liu said, why can we only get half of the territory and population that we have worked so hard to build, or just a food seal, Datang is a little unfair in doing this." ”
Liu Yuan said coldly: "Queen, it seems that you haven't seen the facts clearly, without the army of the Tang Dynasty, do you think that with the few people under your command, you can hold the counterattack of Songtsen Gampo?" Don't say that you have 350,000, that is, 350,000, and you are not the opponent of Songtsen Gampo, now is when the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo army are fighting on the front line. What's unfair about letting you pick up some cheap in the empty rear? ”
Subi. Bo Li's heart is lost, to be honest, she is still looking forward to the Tang Dynasty to restore the country for her and return to the former glory of the neighboring country, but the reality is cold, now the use value of Subi is very low, and it has become dispensable, Liu Yuan is right, Datang and Subi. It's not an alliance, with the Apo clan's refuge, God has already opened the door to victory for Datang, and thinking of this, my heart is even more bitter.
Now is not the time to discuss what to do. Rather, there are only two paths to take, and these two paths. It's still set in advance by someone else.
"If this king chooses the first way. Conquer and hold a territory, I wonder if General Liu will speak and count, and use half of the land and population in the territory as the fiefdom of my Subi clan? "Subi. Polly's face changed many times, and her heart was like a battle between heaven and man, and finally she had to accept the conditions given by Liu Yuan, but she was not sure at all. asked Liu Yuandao rhetorically.
Liu Yuan said with a pleasant face: "If Liu has the intention to deceive you, it is better to give you whatever you want, coax you to the battlefield, and abandon you after you are used." Is that right? Maybe you think that Liu is a little unkind to do things, but in fact, Liu can only give such a promise, you also served as a little queen before inheriting the queen's throne, and managed Subi, it is estimated that it is true or false, and you also know it in your heart, right? ”
After a pause, Liu Yuan continued: "There is only one chance, the queen has to think about it carefully, oh, by the way, the queen has a third way to choose, that is, to take people to hide in the depths of the grassland, so that she can also live a peaceful life." ”
"Well, the king agreed." Don't miss the opportunity, the time will never come, Subi. Polly gritted her teeth in response.
As for the third option that Liu Yuan said, in Subi. In Polly's eyes, it is absolutely undesirable, even if he agrees, the soldiers and clansmen under his command will not agree, the depths of the grassland are good, but there is no salt, no tea, no various daily necessities, life is lonely and miserable, and how many can not bear it? When the trees fall and scatter, the Subi clan will decline even more.
Liu Yuan smiled slightly, and threw out another bait: "Actually, Liu respects the queen, if the queen can also perform well, I can ask the emperor to make you the queen of Subi and be a rightful king." ”
Subi. Polly's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately said: "General Liu is really a bold person, no matter what, you are a friend of my Subi clan." ”
To be rightfully king, this is a great temptation, Subi. Polly felt a little hot in her heart, and immediately expressed her gratitude to Liu Yuan.
"This is Liu's honor." Liu Daguan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally won a force, I hope that this Subi Queen can compete a little, anyway, this Subi King is just a holy decree for Li Er, with Li Er's character and the honor of the Heavenly Khan, then others will praise him for supporting the weak nomads.
After conquering Subi, in addition to obtaining a large amount of grain and horses, countless wealth, but also the elite of Subi, with these strong guarantees, Tubo can conquer everywhere, expand its territory, and finally become the new overlord on the plateau, Liu Yuan now pulls the remnants of Subi over, and first gives him a dose of fierce medicine in the richest place in Tubo.
Just where the Songtsen Gampo dream began, give him a nightmare, whether it succeeds or fails, this can be regarded as the internal friction of Tubo, and it will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty without any harm.
"General Liu, this king has a request." Subi. Polly said slightly
This attitude turned really fast, and he actually used the word "please", Liu Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just nodded and said, "Please speak"
Subi. Polly was not polite, and said straightforwardly: "What bothers the king the most now is that the armor in his hand is a little worn, and the weapons are not sharp enough, and he has not been well replenished, I hope General Liu will supplement it on his behalf, of course, this king is not in vain, the price is not a problem, Subi transferred a batch of secret treasures before the death of the country, and the king is willing to use these treasures buried in the ground in exchange for a sharp blade for revenge, and the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty have always been excellent, and I ask General Liu not to shirk." ”
"Since we have become allies, these things are naturally duty-bound." Liu Yuan said with a straight face.
It's not for nothing, the price is not a problem, the most suitable thing to listen to is this sentence, now there is Apo. It's not a problem to get something in, and it's not a problem to be able to complete the task and make a windfall by the way, there's nothing more refreshing than this.
After negotiating the conditions, the two discussed some details and contact methods, and discussed the agreement on the spot, and the agreement was signed before they dispersed.
Both sides were satisfied.
When the group came out, it was under the guise of hunting, and when they came empty-handed, when they went back, many soldiers carried prey in their hands, and under Shama's arrangement, during the talks, naturally someone hunted for them, and those fresh prey were the best cover.
"General Liu, I see you're in a good mood." On the way back, Shama deliberately rode his horse and walked with Liu Yuan, and asked with a smile on his face.
Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Successfully recruiting a force, this is a good start, of course, Miss Shama is indispensable for threading the needle." ”
"Don't dare, this Queen Subi is a difficult character to deal with, but the general can easily make her submit, this is the general's superior ability, compared to the general, Shama's little skill is nothing at all."
"This is not superior ability, this is the general trend" Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "No matter how strong a person's strength is, it is insignificant in front of the country, as the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness, and one force will drop ten, the reason why Liu is tough, that is behind a powerful Tang Dynasty, the general trend is on my side, and the initiative is also on my side, so Subi. Polly can only be soft, on the contrary, if the general trend is on Subi's side, then even if Liu spits lotus flowers, it will be in vain in the end. ”
Shama nodded lightly, and agreed very much with Liu Yuan's words in his heart, in the face of the general trend, the role of the individual is so small, as a noble lady who is high, but he has to take the risk to shield Liu Yuan and his party, in order to please Liu Yuan and his party, in order to please Liu Yuan and his party, dig out his mind, not only offer good wine, good meat, and beautiful women, but also the first time to meet each other, the two have no mutual understanding and communication, and they have to take the initiative to give them a hug, that is not how handsome Liu Yuan is, how charming he is, and how good the whole person is, Instead, he values his ability to shelter his own family.
For Liu Yuan, Shama has no resentment, because she is voluntary, on the contrary, she is a little grateful to Liu Yuan in her heart, because Liu Yuan did not bully others, did not deliberately embarrass herself, did not despise herself, and has always respected herself, and this respect alone is worthy of Shama treating Liu Yuan as a friend from the heart.
"General, the queen of Subi said that she needed a batch of weapons, and said that the price was not a problem, it was obvious that there was another purpose, she was willing to let you slaughter a knife, so that you could profit from it, so as to befriend you, you don't have to be soft, Subi is rich in gold, the queen is still rich, according to legend, Subi has a lot of secret treasures, and it is not in vain to make a lot of money." Shama took the initiative to persuade Liu Yuan not to be merciful and soft-hearted when trading.
"Take the initiative to send it to the door, don't do it in vain, Liu will naturally not be soft-hearted, but this matter is indispensable for the cooperation of your Apo family, so it is good, and it can be regarded as a share."
"This is the general's interest, how dare Shama share the general's things."
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "This is called equal benefit, there is no sharing, Liu has always been not the master of eating alone, or the mighty army, and he also has to share a share, and you still need to contribute to this matter, so be it, just don't get too little at that time." ”
Shama said with some emotion: "Yes, General, the little woman is disrespectful, but the General said that the war between the two countries is imminent, and this time and again, it will take at least more than a month, is it still too late in time?" ”
"If Liu is not mistaken, the time of the full-scale war between the two countries will be in the autumn, when the autumn is high and cool, and the weather is not very hot, which is very beneficial to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and can better adapt to the plateau climate, so if we want to make contributions, we need to perform well in the next few months, strengthen ourselves, and play a greater role in this decisive battle." Liu Yuan said lightly.
autumn
Shama's hot eyes were a little apprehensive, and the future of his family was betting on this exciting autumn. (To be continued......)
