Don't look at Gongton's usual disagreement with Lu Dongzan, but he doesn't dare to clash with Lu Dongzan head-on.

Especially in serious matters, Lu Dongzan is not as easy to talk as he is on weekdays.

After all, this seems to be smiling and very talkative, but those who know him know that it is just a means for him to implement diplomacy, you must know that it was precisely because of his calm and witty back then that he was able to gain insight into Qiongbu in time. The wolf-son ambition of Bangse Suzi to avoid the fate of Songtsen Gampo being poisoned like his father.

It was precisely that talent that was revealed that made him Songtsen Gampo's right-hand man.

The people of Tibet know that under Lu Dongzan's approachability, his ability to think deeply and observe carefully about the things around him is terrifying.

What's more, this person not only has brains, but he also has outstanding military talents, and it is precisely because of him that Songtsen Gampo was able to fight for several years, annex all the tribes, unify the snowy plateau, and establish the Tubo Kingdom.

A person who is extremely good at Wen Taowu and Wu is simply looking for death in a head-on conflict with such an opponent.

So seeing Lu Dongzan's face that looked ruthless when he put away his smile, Gong Dun couldn't help but be shocked.

But he was also an old treacherous and cunning person, so he coughed twice at the moment, and asked quietly in surprise: "Artificial? How can an avalanche be man-made? ”

Lu Dongzan glanced at him lightly, "Don't you know, vice minister?" In winter, on the top of a snowy mountain, you can't throw stones casually, an inconspicuous child is likely to hit a few stones of about the same size, as long as a sufficient number of stones roll up, it won't be long before the large rocks will loosen and slide, and the small stones will cause an avalanche. ”

He looked intently at Genton and asked, "If a dozen domesticated falcons hear the hawk whistle and throw pebbles on the top of the mountain at the same time, what do you think will happen?" ”

Gondon had a bad feeling in his heart, but it was only fleeting, and he didn't even have time to catch it.

He laughed twice and said, "Daxiang is really keen, but who would put so much effort into creating an avalanche?" Figure what? ”

Thinking of something, he blurted out, "Could it be that someone sees that we are carrying too much baggage and plans to rob it?" ”

Lu Dongzan looked at him, "What kind of mountain bandits does the deputy minister think dare to attack the property guarded by the army?" ”

Gong Dun laughed dryly, "That's right, no matter how long-eyed you are, no mountain bandit dares to attack us." Who could that be? ”

His expression became solemn, and he guessed: "Great Phase, could it be Tuyuhun?" At this time, seeing that we asked to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, they were worried that if we joined forces, he would have a harder time in the middle, so he deliberately sabotage? ”

Seeing Lu Dongzan looking at him, Gong Dun shrugged and said, "Otherwise, who else could it be?" I really can't think of any other possibility? ”

Lu Dongzan still looked at him, "There is another possibility, there are also many people in our Tubo who do not approve of Zampu's quest for the Tang princess, and they may not be sabotaged from it?" ”

Gong Dun's heart froze, but his face was not half invisible, and he pretended to ponder: "It's not impossible, but how can they know that we happened to pass through Chiling?" Along the way, our route was planned in advance, but no one could predict that we would pass there yesterday, and it was even more impossible for those who knew it in advance, and I still think Tuyuhun is more likely. ”

Lu Dongzan smiled, "It's also possible that that person is among us, walking all the way, don't you know everything." ”

"You suspect Sambuza?" Gongtun shook his head again and again, "It's impossible, it's impossible, that person has always been loyal to Zampu, for the sake of the strength of Tubo, he can go to Tianzhu to study for seven years, how can he do such a thing?" ”

Seeing that Lu Dongzan was still looking at him, he sank his face and said angrily, "You can't even doubt me, right?" ”

Lu Dongzan looked at him with a smile, "I remember that you were also against the marriage between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, ...... vice minister."

Gongtun was furious when he heard this, "That's right, I was against it at the beginning, but Zampu decided to come down, and I still followed it, so I went to Datang with you to ask for the princess to marry Zampu. Sairu Gongton's loyalty to Zampu can be seen, the sun and the moon can be seen, how can you doubt my head? ”

He said indignantly: "The boy is rude, I am a member of the same generation as your father, and you should still call me Uncle Sheng, no wonder people say that if the fox becomes the king, it will be more cruel to its kind, and you have made a great appearance, so you wantonly slander the elders?" ”

Lu Dongzan pressed his right hand on his left chest and touched it lightly, performed a Tibetan etiquette, and apologized slightly, "I'm just saying a guess, why should the deputy minister be angry?" Let's come out this time, there are almost 1,000 guards and soldiers, who knows if there is anyone here who maliciously destroys? In any case, there is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as it is man-made, it can always be found. ”

Gong suddenly said angrily: "Check it, check it, you check it well, it's good to return our innocence, save you from being suspicious all day long, if you can't find out, I will go to Zampu with you to distinguish it." ”

Lu Dongzan regained his usual amiable smile, "I'm just saying, why are you so angry, Vice Minister?" ”

"Lifting up the donkey is not rewarded, but complaining about breaking the donkey's tail. This has been away from Tibet for more than a year, and you have not lost a good reputation, and you are still suspicious, if it is you, aren't you angry? Gong Dun shook his hand angrily and left Lu Dongzan's tent.

Lu Dongzan looked at the swaying curtain thoughtfully.

Soon, Sambuza, who heard the news, also questioned Gongton, "That day, the deputy minister said, if the princess has something wrong in the territory of Tuyuhun?" Datang must be blamed...... The avalanche thing, isn't it your ......"

"What does it have to do with me?" Before Sambuza finished speaking, Gong Dun interrupted him, "I'm talking about being in the territory of Tuyuhun, Chiling is still in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and I just mean to take the opportunity to annex Tuyuhun, not really let Princess Wencheng do anything." ”

He said angrily: "And the avalanche, listen to what the kid said in Gardonzan is like the truth, you go and control it, just in time to be able to make the big avalanche on the top of the mountain collapse when the princess crosses a line of heaven, is that a man-made thing?" ”

Sambuza thought about the steepness of Chiling and the clever calculation of timing, and felt that it was impossible, so he said suspiciously: "Then why does the prime minister think it will be man-made?" And where did the eagle whistle come from? ”

"Maybe there are people hunting in the mountains, and it just so happens. I think he just has nothing to do, and I want to take the opportunity to get rid of a few people who don't deal with him. Gong Dun sneered, "It's not good for me to design anything in Tuyuhun if this happens, lest he catch me and hurt my feet, and put everything on my head." Although I am dedicated to Tubo for us, I don't want to make a fuss without eating mutton. ”

"Anyway, I'm about to go to Tibet, and he has the final say on everything, and I don't care what he checks, but if he dares to frame me, I'll go back and let Zampu comment."

Seeing this, Sambuza hurriedly persuaded him, "As long as we work together and work together, the mountains can also move, and we have a good cooperation along the way, so that the princess can be safely escorted here, and you can't pick a son at this time." ”

Gong Dun sighed helplessly, "That's it, people who behave the same way will often get together, for your sake, I don't know as much as that kid, so I can marry the princess back to Tubo, and hand it over to Zampu is also a matter of heart, and I will deal less with him after I go back." ”

After crossing Chiling, which is the border of Tuyuhun, Xi Junmai and his people want to say goodbye and return to Shanzhou.

Before leaving, he asked to see Li Yuntong.

"Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to place Miss Qiufeng in the territory of Tuyuhun to heal her injuries, the terrain in Tubo is higher, if her injuries are forcibly raised, I am afraid that there will be danger."

Seeing that this honest man who was very wooden all the way actually took the initiative to talk to him for Qiu Feng, Li Yuntong thought of something, and she asked Xi Junmai narrowly, "Why does Captain Xi care about her so much?" Could it be that I have known her for a long time? ”

Xi Junmai shook his head, "I didn't know Miss Qiufeng before, but I saw that although she was silent along the way, she made proper arrangements for the princess everywhere, and when she was in an avalanche, she desperately wanted to save the princess and ......be moved by her high righteousness," he said, he was a little twisted, "In short, Miss Qiufeng is very good, I don't want her to have anything to do, and I hope that the princess will agree to this request from her subordinates." ”

Li Yuntong wanted to tease him again, but looking at Xi Junmai, who had already turned red after saying this, he was a little unbearable, and thought for a while: "Qiu Feng is loyal to me, I will definitely settle her down, if she has any news, I will have someone send a message to Xi Duwei, and it will not be in vain for you to save her." In the future, if she is willing...... I will let her return to Datang, and at that time, I will also take care of Xi Duwei. ”

Xi Junmai's face turned even redder, and he gave Li Yuntong a salute for a long time, and Si Si Ai said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Although they passed the Chiling Mountains, the procession of sending off relatives traveled for another three days before entering the royal city of Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun (pronounced "Tuyu Soul" tǔyùhún), originally a branch of the Xianbei Murong Tribe, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the leader Tuyuhun led the troops to move westward to Caohan (now Linxia, Gansu). Later, it expanded, ruling the Qiang and Di tribes in present-day Qinghai, Gannan and northwest Sichuan, and established a state. As for his grandson Yeyan, he took his ancestral name as a family name and a country name.

The Qiang people are bloody, Tuguhun has expanded its territory, and there have been glorious moments, but in recent years, it has declined.

First of all, Tang Zhenguan was attacked by Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, in the ninth year, the tooth tent was opened, the khan was killed, and his wife was captured.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Songtsan Gampo directly led the army to attack the city and plunder the land, and was so frightened that Nuo Haobo led the crowd to escape, and finally regained the lost land by the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

After Princess Honghua married to Tuyuhun, because she was dissatisfied with the close relationship between the Qiang people and the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of the year, King Xuan, the prime minister who was in charge of the state affairs, and his two younger brothers conspired to kidnap Nuo Haobo and Princess Honghua to defect to Tubo in the mountain sacrifice activities, although the two of them fled to Shanzhou with their own soldiers, and with the help of Du Fengju, the assassin of Shanzhou, he smashed the conspiracy of King Xuan in one fell swoop and pacified the civil strife, but after the war, even the royal city was full of devastation.
