Chapter 858: Autonomy
There was silence for a moment in the big tent, although Ravdezan said very earnestly, but the clan leaders did not appreciate it at all, and Niang Ruozan smiled.
"The commander-in-chief's words are wrong, how can a small letter of persuasion disturb the morale of the army? We are not ordinary soldiers, but the leaders of various clans, and we know the importance of this battle, how could we fall for the small tricks of the Tang army? ”
Nyadama laughed.
"But no, we won't never mess up the morale of the army because of a small letter of persuasion! On the contrary, this letter of persuasion and surrender has greatly boosted our morale, and Tang Jun suddenly sent a letter of persuasion, what does this mean? ”
"This shows that the Tang army is not sure at all, so they used the persuasion letter, so we will not mess up the army's morale because of this, on the contrary, we may be able to find any useful information from the persuasion letter."
"Yes, knowing ourselves and knowing that we have won a hundred battles, we may be able to find something from this letter of persuasion, which is very beneficial to the upcoming battle, so we have to read this letter of persuasion, we have to take a good look!"
"We don't know what this letter is now, maybe the Tang army is in a dilemma and wants to retreat, then we don't have to fight this battle, to be honest, we don't have much certainty in this battle, if we meet what requirements the Tang army has, the Tang army will take the initiative to retreat, wouldn't it be better? So, we're going to have to read this letter anyway. ”
"It's a must-see!"
"How can you do it without looking?"
The whole tent was full of opposition and voices, and even the clan leaders who had supported Ravdezan before also expressed their opposition clearly this time, because they really wanted to see it, and they felt that they should see it, and after almost all the clan leaders opened their mouths to express their opinions, the tent fell into silence again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ravdezan's body, because now it was Ravdezan's turn to speak, Ravdezan pinched the letter in his hand, and was still silent, although these clan leaders gave various reasons, But he still felt that he shouldn't read this letter of persuasion, let alone read it in front of so many people, but all the clan leaders invariably expressed their opposition, which was somewhat unexpected to him, and even the clan leaders who supported him before clearly expressed their opposition, and no one supported him, which also made him not know what to say, everything that should be said has been said, but there is still no one to support him, how can he persuade them? Even if you can convince some clan leaders! Now no one supports him, which makes him very helpless, the silence did not last long, Niang Ruo Ronzan looked at the letter in Ravdezan's hand, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"Commander, since everyone thinks that this letter should not be put on hold, what does the commander think?"
All the clan leaders looked at Ravdezan quietly, the whole tent was full of solemn atmosphere, Ravdezan also felt great pressure, he knew that since these clan leaders could elect him as the commander, then they could remove his commander, and if these clan leaders really wanted to see it, he couldn't stop it at all, because he didn't have many soldiers under his hands, and in this council tent, the troops under the hands of each clan leader were far superior to him, thinking of this, Ravdezan couldn't help but sigh and sighed.
"I don't know Chinese, so I can't read what is written on this letter."
When she heard this, she immediately stood up and said with a smile as she walked towards Ravdezan.
"Unfortunately, the old man knows a little Chinese, so he should be able to understand it!"
In fact, there are really a lot of people who know Chinese in this big tent, after all, now the Tang Dynasty is strong and rich, although the Tubo people boast of bravery, but they still admire and yearn for the Tang culture, so many Tubo nobles have begun to learn the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Niyadama also stood up and walked over, and said with a smile.
"The old man also understands Chinese, and the old man also looks at what is written in the letter."
The two walked towards Ravdezan together, Ravdezan did not hesitate, and handed the letter directly, since it was impossible to stop it, it was better to hand it over happily, in fact, he was also curious about what the letter said, before it was just reason overcame curiosity, Niangruo Ronzan and Niyadama opened the letter and immediately couldn't wait to look at it, and soon the faces of the two showed a look of emotion, because the content of the letter exceeded their expectations, what Tubo people are self-governing, completely open up the mutual market, reduce taxes, Allow the children of Tubo to go to the country to study, select Tubo as officials, the more they look down, the more surprised they are, and finally their eyes fell on the last big seal, sure enough, it is Xu Shiji, Li Yong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin's big seal, these three princes used the big seal together with the county prince of the country, it can be seen that the authenticity of this letter of persuasion, and there are also the seals of the princess and the princess of Zhenzhu on it. The clan leaders in the big tent were all paying close attention to Niyadama and Niangruo Ronzan, who were reading the letter, and naturally saw the change in their faces, so they became even more curious.
"Read out what is written in the letter, and let us all hear it."
Bagozagon hurriedly said, and Nyadama said in a deep voice.
"This is indeed a letter of persuasion, so I'll read it for everyone!"
After finishing speaking, Niya Dama immediately read the letter aloud, the discussion tent was very quiet, the clan leaders listened attentively, and soon their faces changed, because this letter sounded too tempting, where is this defeat, there is no humiliation at all, no slavery, no disaster, it is completely their Tubo people as their own people, not just talking, but really doing that, of course, the premise is that this letter of persuasion can really be realized, especially the small and medium-sized clans, They don't have the strength to compete for power, just want to survive, don't want to be enslaved, they don't have much sense of belonging to Tibet, if this letter of persuasion is true, then they can live a better life than now, after reading the letter of persuasion, the big tent has become quieter, the faces of the clan leaders have returned to calm, but their flickering eyes have exposed their inner unpeace, only Ravdezan's face is very gloomy, his gaze swept over everyone, and his face became even more ugly, This letter of persuasion was so tempting that as he expected, it would definitely affect the morale of the army. Eventually, it was Ravdezan who broke the silence.
"Sounds really tempting!"
"However, the more tempting it is, the more fake it is!"
"Think about it, will you burn and loot other countries if you occupy them? Will they snatch their women? Will it make money? Will it enslave them? ”
"Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has occupied us, and Tubo will treat us so kindly?"
"Although this letter has the seals of three princes of the Tang Dynasty and a county duke, it can't explain anything, even if it is stamped with the jade seal of the Tang Emperor, it can't say anything, and the princess and princess have fallen into the hands of the enemy and can't help themselves, so this letter is not credible, the warring soldiers of the two countries are not tired of cheating, this is just a plan of the enemy army."
"In order to hit our morale and divide and use us, I have to say that the Tang people are really treacherous, and we must not fall for the tricks of the Tang army."
Many clan leaders couldn't help nodding, they felt that what Ravdezan said was reasonable, pushing themselves and others, if the Tang Dynasty occupied their Tibet, how could they not rob women and grab money? How can there be no wanton looting? How could they not enslave the Tibetan people? How could the Tang people be so kind to them Tubo?
"Yes, although this letter of persuasion from the Tang people sounds very tempting, but if you think about it carefully, it can't be true at all!"
"Yes, as the commander said, this is the trick of the Tang Army, wanting to mess up our military morale, but they inevitably underestimate us too much."
"Yes, their letter is too tempting, but it's too fake."
Many clan leaders have a lot of opinions, but there are also clan leaders who have the opposite opinion.
"However, there are quite a few people who have escaped from the city, and many people have recently been to the city, according to them, the Tang army did not burn and loot, not only did they not loot money, but they did not even rob women."
"Yes, I heard that the city of Raksha is very peaceful, and the order is even better than before."
"I heard that some decrees were issued to appease the people."
"Speaking of which, Datang prides itself on being a state of etiquette, but there is really no tyranny."
Many clan leaders couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, they had also heard about it, and they were very sure that the rumors were true, the Tang army had indeed not been tyrannical since it invaded Tibet, Ravdezan said in a deep voice.
"That's just Tang Jun's hypocrisy, do you really believe it? I just said that reading this letter will affect the morale of the army, right? ”
Nyadama laughed.
"Regardless of whether what this letter says is true or false, whether the Tang Army is really benevolent or falsely merciful, we don't want to be occupied by the Tang Army, do we?"
"Tubo can only be our Tubo, and we will never allow it to be occupied by the Tang army, so this letter of persuasion from the Tang army cannot be trusted! We still have to fight this battle! ”
"Yes, it must be hit! And be sure to win! ”
"I think that this letter of persuasion from the Tang Army has given us confidence, and the Tang Army has resorted to such a conspiracy and trickery, which shows that the Tang Army is really in a dilemma, and they have no chance of winning at all!"
"Yes, so we will win this battle!"
A group of big clans spoke out one after another, setting a tone for this meeting, this meeting came in a hurry, and ended in a hurry, and the leaders of the clans left in twos and threes, but when they left, they talked about the letter of persuasion, and the peace in the big tent was restored, and Ravdezan sat there, his face was very gloomy, and his younger brother walked out from behind, and said angrily.
"These people are inevitably too rude, the eldest brother said that they would not let them read the letter, they still have to read it, I listened in the back, I almost didn't up, I really wanted to come out and beat them up, but, brother, you don't have to be angry, they were not moved by this letter of persuasion, this battle still has to be fought, as long as you win this battle, you will establish your prestige, and they dare to be rude to you?"
Ravdezan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said in a deep voice.
"The two armies are fighting, the first priority is morale, how can this letter of persuasion have no morale at all? Although they kept saying very resolutely that they must fight and defeat the Tang army, in fact, they have a little slack in their hearts, this battle will be a bitter battle, often compared to who can grit their teeth and persist to the end, now they have buried luck in their hearts, can they persevere? ”
The younger brother scratched his head.
"Brother, as long as these clan leaders know, the impact shouldn't be big."
Ravdezan only snorted coldly when he heard this, and his younger brother hesitated.
"Brother, you told them not to let them pass it on, shouldn't they tell their subordinates?"
Ravdezan snorted coldly.
"Do you believe that it will spread to the whole army tonight?"
Although Ravdezan told him not to let this matter spread, but the clan leaders only casually agreed, and did not take it seriously, anyway, so many clan leaders know, even if there is a little rumor of it, who can figure out who spread it? Therefore, when they went back, when a group of cronies asked, they did not hesitate to say it, and only told their cronies, can that be called preaching? It's just that what they didn't expect was that although they also instructed their cronies, his cronies would also tell their cronies that the so-called one spread ten to hundreds, the faster it spreads, like a snowball, and soon the news of the persuasion letter spread wildly throughout the alliance land, because this persuasion letter is so well depicted, so it is even more talked-about, and some people feel very excited, which means that even if this battle is lost, everyone's life will not be too sad, Of course, there are many people who think that what is written on this persuasion letter is false, and the Tang army cannot be so kind, but there are also people who are very hesitant, after all, there are people among them who escaped from the city of Luo, they know that although the Tang army occupies a large area of Tibet, it is not tyrannical, but it is very good to the people, and there are many discussions everywhere in the land of the alliance, especially the people of small and medium-sized clans, they are just trying to survive in the cracks, and they have to come to join the alliance, and they never want to dominate Tibet, so they are full of worries about the future. This letter of persuasion is good news for them, at least it makes them feel a lot more at ease, even if they can't win the Tang army, the future will not be bad, no matter how the soldiers in the land of the alliance talk, what the soldiers think in their hearts, the final decisive battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is finally coming, a letter of persuasion can not dispel the haze of war after all, the sound of the horse's hooves of the Tang Dynasty is getting closer and closer to the land of the alliance, and the war is about to break out.
