In the Tibetan royal court, on the tiger skin throne in the middle of the council chamber sat a boy less than ten years old with a crown on his head and a childish face.

Under the throne, there are two rows of civil and military ministers on the left and right.

Ling Tsangpu and his eldest son Ling You are on the right, King Agalimin and the old minister Yahweh are on the left, and the other civil and military ministers are close behind.

Ling Zanpu was the first to speak: "Your Royal Highness King Ming, the envoy of Goryeo has been waiting for you here for more than a month.

King Agalimin has kind eyebrows, wide forehead and thick ears, deep Buddha appearance, and wears a red monk's robe, so it is difficult to see his true age for a while.

The first master of the Western Regions Buddhism Tantra remained silent and said in a flat voice: "Oh? Goryeo is here to borrow troops? ”

Hearing this, Ling Zanpu said again: "Not bad. The Celestial Empire gathered 200,000 elite troops to storm Goryeo, and then there were 60,000 strong soldiers from the Northern Court waving their flags and shouting. ”

King Agaliming said lightly: "Goryeo and my Tibet are thousands of miles away. Brother Wang once set the policy of affinity with the Celestial Empire, and now the royal sister-in-law who was born in the royal family of the Celestial Empire is still alive, if Tubo rashly uses troops against the Celestial Empire, it will damage morality, not to mention, the so-called injury to the enemy is 1,000 and 800, and it is not the best policy to break my elite sons and daughters in exchange for a city and a pool. I don't think there is a need to send troops this time. ”

Jehovah beside him chimed in: "Yes. In the past 20 years of the truce, the population of Tibet has developed rapidly, and the silk weaving production technology of the Celestial Empire has been obtained. ”

Ling Tsangpu was silent, as a military general who had experienced a hundred battles, he naturally saw that this opportunity was hard to find, and it was the best time to attack the Celestial Empire, but King Agalimin, who was a cultivator, and Jehovah, an old minister who was a civil official, naturally did not see or did not want to pay attention to these, they only valued their current interests and status. In desperation, Ling Zanpu had to look at his beloved son Ling You beside him.

Of course, Lingyou understood that his father was giving himself an opportunity to obey the other party, so he no longer hesitated at the moment, and bowed down to King Agali Ming respectfully, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness King Ming, there are two reasons for using troops against the Celestial Empire at this time. First, the Celestial Empire evacuated 200,000 troops from the state capitals to Goguryeo, and even the 80,000 Yulin troops of the Gongwei Jing Division drew 20,000. Now the available troops of the Celestial Empire are only 60,000 Anxi soldiers, 30,000 Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and 60,000 Yulin Army of Gongwei Jingshi, the total number of troops is not more than 150,000, if we gather 400,000 troops in Tubo at this time, we should have great confidence to defeat the Anxi Protectorate and forcibly occupy the Western Regions, if the war goes well, the strength of the Celestial Empire from Qiuzi to Beijing is only less than 100,000. If you wait for the Celestial Empire to occupy Goryeo and free up your hands and feet, I am afraid that you will have to use troops against me and Tibet. The people of the Central Plains are extremely ambitious, and the emperors of the past dynasties have never lacked the ambition to open up territory and dominate the world. Second, "

Lingyou paused for a moment, seeing that he still couldn't use the big reason to move the Ming King, he didn't want to mention the Futu relics, and he had to say: "Gao Lian, the younger brother of the king of Goryeo, has brought the Futu relics, the treasure of the Zhenguo, and wants to sacrifice my Tubo royal family to ask us to send troops to the Western Regions." After finishing speaking, his tiger eyes looked at King Ming again, and secretly said in his heart that success or failure was finally here.

Just out of the customs came to the king's tent of the king of Agali Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the Futu relics, the face that had been ancient and unwavering suddenly had a little unpredictable, this retreat did not gain much, he had heard the name of the Futu relics, this world's famous Buddhist treasure may be more helpful to his martial arts road.

The royal court is extremely quiet, and the falling needles can be heard.

King Agali Ming did not shy away from saying bluntly: "I am ashamed, the so-called treasure touches people's hearts, although I am a monk, but this floating relics really mean a lot to me. If this king takes advantage of this to make a breakthrough in the martial arts of the Futu Relic, the Central Plains martial arts are as strong as General Ding and the like. ”

The important ministers of the royal court all showed surprise, King Agaliming was already the top master in the land list, if the path of martial arts went to the next level and then stood alone in the world, the significance to the entire Tubo martial arts and even the Tubo Dynasty was not trivial, and even the Celestial Empire did not dare to easily move troops against Tubo.

Lingyou saw that King Ming had any intentions, and hurriedly said: "My 200,000 iron horsemen in the north are waiting for the pillow, just wait for my king's order, and then they can step on the horse Anxi." ”

King Agaliming remained silent and asked in a deep voice, "How sure is General Ling that he will break through Qiuzi City in the short term?" ”

Lingyou pondered, and said for a long time: "The ability of the Anxi capital to protect Li Bu's army is not outstanding, if he is surprised to break the Anxi soldiers' Modong camp first, Lingyou can stand on the head of Qiuci City within a month." ”

King Agaliming kept nodding his head and said slowly: "The scope of this battle can only be controlled within the Western Regions, and it must be surrounded but not fought, and then annexed the Anxi Protectorate." As for whether Goryeo survives or dies, it depends on the determination of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. ”

Lingyou understood that King Ming had agreed to use troops against the Celestial Empire, and said with a happy face: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Agali turned his eyes to look at the little boy who was sitting on the throne and was slightly timid, and said softly, "Ashna, what do you think?" ”

Ashina, the king of Tubo, who was calmed by the emperor's uncle's glance, looked around and said crisply: "Since the Futu relics are of great significance to our dynasty, let's do what Uncle Ming wants." ”

Although Jehovah disagreed, he knew that His Royal Highness was of great significance in the Tibetan court, so he had to remain silent.

"Gao Lian is outside the tent at this time, but let him offer the relics of the floating slaughter." Lingyou was secretly glad that Gao Lian didn't listen to what he said and secretly retreated. He was originally a warlike person, and all interests could be given up in the face of war, so whether King Ming obtained the Futu relics to the family was good or bad was not in his consideration.

"Announce him in." King Agalimin said in a deep voice.

Under the guidance of the heralds, Gao Lian entered the tent of the king of Tubo with a worried heart, and when he learned that Tubo was going to send 200,000 troops to occupy the Western Regions, he finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for many days, and after kneeling and thanking him, he agreed with Lingyou and other generals to send troops to the Western Regions after a month.

It's just that he doesn't want to think about how successful this move to save Zhao is. Now that the mission has been completed, he will immediately go back to live and die with Goryeo.

The Tibetan Mountains are high and long, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Two days ago, Li Tiantu bought a healthy horse in the hands of herdsmen, and at this time he was riding with Yun Mengluo, galloping on the vast and boundless green grassland.

If you can't go deep into the majesty of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is difficult to appreciate it, and it is a kind of whimsical sense that completely frees the mind and empty the mind. Under the silence and ethereal, the human soul will be infinitely sublimated, and it is no wonder that there is a peerless master like King Agalimin in such a magical place.
