But things often turn out unexpectedly.

Because although Li Er thought that in this matter, Songtsan Gampo would not be able to order all the Tubo nobles to send troops on a large scale to invade the Tang Dynasty.

But after all, this is also a militaristic matter, and we can't afford to guard against it.

With Li Er's order, the Tang army imposed strict martial law to prevent the Tubo dog from jumping over the wall, and the order reached the border states.

These border cities in Datang also coincidentally chose martial law in the whole city.

Especially in Shanzhou, an important frontier town, it raised the level of preparedness to the highest.

This also caused the spies in Tibet who were originally hidden in Shanzhou.

Although the anomaly was discovered, there was no way to get the news back because it couldn't get out of the city.

And those spies who were operating outside Shanzhou saw the appearance of Shanzhou as if it were facing a great enemy.

But I didn't know what the specific situation was in the city, and everyone was a little confused for a while.

But in any case, martial law actions by the Tang Dynasty officials and troops on the border.

It was the first time that it aroused the idea of the Tibetan people.

On this day, in the royal city of Tibet.

Songtsen Gampo looked at the more and more information gathered in his hand about martial law on the Tang border.

I couldn't help but quickly summoned my trusted ministers and nobles to discuss this time.

And Lu Dongzan is naturally among them.

"I'm sure all of you know this."

"Then who of you now can tell me why the border cities of the Tang people are under martial law on a large scale at this time?"

Faced with this problem of Songtsen Gampo.

The nobles and ministers present were also all confused.

Because for the Tubo people, it is impossible for them to send troops to harass the Tang Dynasty in this season.

As a people living on horseback, the Tibetans want to send troops to fight, so the most suitable season must be in autumn and winter.

Because only at that time, the horses that have been fed through the fertile pastures of summer and autumn are the fattest.

And it seems that now, although it is late spring.

But because the horses have gone through a winter of lack of forage.

So even if it can be taken out to fight, the horsepower is not as good as before.

Not to mention, this assembly took all the horses of the tribe out to fight.

It would have been a huge gamble.

Because horses don't just die of exhaustion on the battlefield because they're emaciated.

Even those who survive have a high probability of being completely destroyed.

In this way, even if the war is won, the Tibetan people will lose more than they gain.

Because in the spring and summer, they could not only massively lose their precious war horses.

There is no way to loot the grain and grass he wants most from the Tang people.

Therefore, in the past few years, Datang's defensive vigilance against Tibet has also been obviously seasonal.

Often, when autumn and winter come, they gradually begin to increase troops on the border.

It's like this, and martial law begins to be imposed before spring has passed.

It was the first time that the Tibetan people had encountered it.

The nobles whispered for a while.

Qi Zanggu stood up and said, "Zampu, maybe this is the Tang people trying to use troops against us in Tibet?" ”

When this statement was put forward, it was immediately supported by two other nobles, Ba Yuzebu and Nong Zhongbo.

The three of them were all old nobles of the enemy country Subi that Songtsen Gampo's father had destroyed in Songtsen.

However, due to the early submission of obedience, after Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, he needed to support some people to compete with the old nobles of Tubo.

So Songtsen Gampo drew them over again, and not only gave them a large number of serfs and land.

It also greatly strengthened their respective military strength, so that their strength has surpassed that of the original Tibetan nobles.

That is, because of the same origin, they have always been united.

At this time, one person stood up to speak, and the rest of the few just supported it.

But in the face of their statement, the great minister of Tubo directly denied them.

"We're not going to fight Tang people in this season for no reason."

"But the Tang people all need to farm, how can they come to beat us in this busiest season for farming?"

Although the great minister is still in the bag some time ago, because of the wine trade for a while, Songtsen Gampo was a little disliked.

But after all, this is the closest partner with whom he grew up.

So after this fashion bag finished speaking, Songtsen Gampo also agreed and said:

"Shang Nang is right, now our trade with the Tang people is going well."

"They won't come to war with us at this time."

Lu Dongzan, who had been hiding aside and not saying a word, was already numb at this time.

But I also know that this wine trade is abnormal, and it must not be concealed anymore.

Otherwise, once the big thing is delayed because of this time.

It's not as simple as taking responsibility.

I'm afraid that even the lives of the whole family have to be put in it.

Therefore, at this time, Lu Dongzan could only stand up and say:

"Zampu, speaking of the wine trade, when Qinling went to trade this time, he also found some abnormalities."

"What anomaly?" Songtsen Gampo asked.

Under the gaze of Songtsen Gampo, Lu Dongzan panicked to the extreme.

But he can only say everything in 1510.

"None of the caravans that exchanged green salt and tea came?"

"The Cheng family's caravan also disappeared after trading the drinks this time?"

Hearing that these two strange things were happening at the same time.

The hearts of everyone present couldn't help but hang.

Could it be that Datang is really planning to use troops against Tibet.

That's why after trading this drink, he directly removed the people?

Just when everyone is thinking cranky.

At this time, one of Songtsen Gampo's guards walked in with a letter.

"Zampu, just now there was a person who looked like a Tang person, and he gave us this letter outside the royal city, saying that there was something important in it, and I want Zampu to see it for yourself."

"Tang people?" Songtsen Gampo was puzzled for a moment, and then said to the guard:

"Bring me the letter."

But just as the guards were about to hand the letter to Songtsen Gampo, Shang Nang took the letter first.

"Zampu beware of what the Tang people have done to the letter, or I'll open it for Zampu."

After Shang Nang finished speaking, he tore open the letter.

Then he didn't look at it himself, so he unfolded the letter and presented it to Songtsen Gampo for viewing.

There are not many words on this letter, only a few words.

But after Songtsen Gampo read it, he couldn't stand the anger and filled the sky!

'The price of alcohol in Chang'an City has plummeted, and now there is no limit to 10 taels and 1 bottles! ’

Ten taels? Drinks are only worth 10 taels a bottle?

You must know that Songtsen Gampo now has the best war horses and herds of cattle and sheep in exchange for wine.

It's already piled up in the royal city!

If all these drinks become worth only ten taels and one bottles!

Wouldn't he, Songtsen Gampo, become the biggest fool in the world?
