No one asks if you are poor in the mountains, but you have distant relatives in the mountains.

That's true.

If Li Chengqian still occupies a small hill as he did at the beginning, no one will care about him except Datang.

But now it's different from the past, you have set up your own door and called the king and crown, then I'm sorry, everyone will officially look at you as a person.

It sounded like an insult.

But if you really want to talk about it, it does mean a bit of elevation.

Of course, if you are seen as a person, you must have the consciousness of being used.

In other words, if you don't have the value of using it, people won't want to use you.

It's unavoidable, everyone's alike.

Even if he is Li Chengqian, even if he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is the same.

After combining the knowledge he had and the existing information, Li Chengqian finally basically decided that this was really Songtsen Gampo luring the tiger and driving the wolf.

Initial domain name: m.

He was using himself to help him put down the rebellion.

This......

Although Songtsen Gampo himself had the ability to quell the rebellion, no one knew what the price would have to pay until he succeeded, and since he had the choice to let others help him achieve his goals, why didn't he do it?

If he is Li Chengqian, he is also willing to do it.

It's not right or wrong, it's true for everyone.

"Your Highness, Songtsen Gampo's move is to make us and the rebellious tribes of Tubo lose both! This heart is really ruthless! Gao Chunxing said, looked at Li Chengqian, and suddenly felt a little loveless.

He used to think that Li Chengqian was evil enough, and he had just helped Li Chengqian sort out the news of Tubo together, only to find out that that Songtsan Gampo was not comparable to them.

Think about that Xue Rengui again......

Hey, these days, how can young talents like them always feel a little bit indiscriminate?

Li Chengqian pinched it, thought about it, and said, "You say, what if this king doesn't fight?" ”

"Don't fight?" Gao Chunxing was a little surprised, and said, "If you don't fight, do you let those Tubo people kill into the hinterland of my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "That's not what you mean, you see, Songtsen Gampo wants to lure the tiger to drive away the wolf, right, let's help them annihilate the rebellious tribe."

But what if we don't annihilate it?

Not only do we not annihilate, out of humanitarianism, the Ming court can also help them with some food, ordnance or something, you say, Songtsen Gampo knows, will he scold this king for being a coward? ”

He just thought a lot, help Songtsen Gampo unify Tibet, he is thankless.

Fighting for life and death, in the end, Songtsan Gampo picked it up, which is not in his interests, let alone the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

So, he began to use his brain.

Didn't we work for you? Why fight to the death with your opponents?

There's no need for that.

Even if I help you annihilate all the rebellious tribes in the end, you won't think of me, so why should I do you this favor?

The point is, he saw an opportunity to plot against Tibet.

He had been staring at Tuyuhun before, but he really didn't care too much about Tubo.

First, the topography of Tubo is difficult to hit, and Tubo is so poor that it is tinkling, and the oil and water are not enough to beat it.

The second is that the Tibetans are not easy to handle, they have a strong faith, and they are very harmonious......

The most important thing is that his current strength wants to compete with Tubo, which is really a little worse.

But Songtsen Gampo gave him a chance.

That opportunity is for the rebel tribes.

"Your Highness, if that's the case, I guess those soldiers will have ideas." Gao Chunxing said, "Nowadays, everyone is holding back their strength to make meritorious contributions, and the morale of the soldiers is also high......"

He didn't say the rest, and Li Chengqian also understood.

"That's not what the king meant." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "We must fight, but we have the final say on how far and what kind of fight it will be."

In fact, Songtsen Gampo just relied on the terrain, thinking that we couldn't fight it, and there was no way to take them.

Hehe, we can't beat it, but those tribes in Tibet can't beat it?

In this way, in the past few days, we have paid close attention to the news in Tibet, and now, the information we have cannot confirm whether Songtsen Gampo is luring the tiger to drive the wolf.

Once confirmed, hehe, he wants to lure the tiger to devour the wolf, and this king still wants to be the main guest. ”

Li Chengqian is actually not too worried about the large-scale attack of Tibet, firstly, Songtsen Gampo does not have the strength now, and secondly, he does not have the strength for the time being.

So, what did he have to worry about?

Fighting, he has fought less in the past half a year?

At the beginning, dozens of people crisscrossed this red water source, and he didn't instigate it, not to mention that now, there are nearly 40,000 people under his command, and hundreds of thousands of people under his control.

……

Outside the Sun Moon Mountain, the Qibi Shamen finally led his army to set off.

He didn't worry too much, as the younger brother of Qibi He Li, he had also fought a lot of battles over the years, and he was born a warrior.

Of course, it was inevitable that some people from his team would be stuffed in by those clan elders this time.

He didn't have much to say about it.

Everybody wants to seize this opportunity, and that's not wrong in itself.

Even Qi Bi He Li has no complaints about this.

If you really want to talk about it, everyone has made a contribution, and it is also a good thing for them.

In the court, you always need the help of your own people.

In the border city, Lou Ning and the others were tired enough.

Although they occupy the advantage of the city and there is no danger for the time being, this is really not comparable to Sun Moon Mountain.

The city wall of Sun Moon Mountain is more than three zhang, and this broken city wall is less than one zhang.

Of course, there is nothing to complain about, it was originally in a hurry, and just like that, the planned three became the only one.

The other two are still silhouettes today.

"General, you said that when we were attacking the city, why weren't they as fierce?" Lou Zurong asked with some incomprehension.

At this moment, the battle had just ended, and everyone rested for a while at the head of the city.

Lou Ning touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "Do you compare this city wall with the city wall of Sun Moon Mountain?" What do you think? However, if these Tibetans want to break the city, there is no way.

Not to mention, in the past, we suffered the loss of this crossbow, but now it is feng shui in turn. ”

"Your Knowles' is a soft ......" someone said, "If we had been replaced by Ning Wangjun, Sun Moon Mountain would have been gone a long time ago, hey......"

Lou Zurong said disdainfully: "It wasn't that there was no Ning Wangjun at the beginning, speaking of which, in the battle of Sun Moon Mountain, your Ning Wangjun suffered the most casualties, and none of the three thousand Ning Wangjun were spared!"

What do you have to show off?

More than who died? ”

"At least we didn't surrender!" The man immediately choked.

"Aren't you helping the Ming Dynasty guard the frontier now?"

"You ......," said the man, and the man sighed, "If it weren't for King Daning abandoning us, how would we have betrayed him." Those who mistake me for being unfaithful, the king of Daning! ”

Lou Ning listened to them arguing for a long time, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't fight, you Ning Wangjun is indeed very powerful, and this is a general's uniform."

But now that everyone is working for the Ming Dynasty, don't mention those things.

No one wants to betray him, but if we really want to talk about it, it is he who betrays us.

If it weren't for King Daning who wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty, I wouldn't betray him.

After all, he never cared about the life or death of our people. ”

Speaking of this, everyone opened a new round of criticism of King Daning, and counted Murong Shun's various sins.

The more interesting thing about people is that as long as there is a common enemy, then they can stand in one camp for the time being.

Obviously, they are.

After criticizing the King of Daning, someone said: "It's good now, the Ming Dynasty didn't really do anything to us, who did you sell your life to?"

In the final analysis, this way of breaking the world is to survive. ”

"This is true, this way of breaking the world is just to survive." Someone immediately chimed in.

As long as a person finds a reason to convince themselves, then they will firmly believe that they have made the right choice.

Lou Ning looked at all this, but he didn't say much.

They are actually very interesting, they have hatred and resentment, but they are also aware of their situation.

Li Chengqian dared to send them to this place because they were still worried.

This night was spent in the midst of everyone's nervous vigilance against the night attack of Tibet.

It's a pity that this night was as quiet as anything.

When the sun rose in the east, the Tubo people killed again.

The war has once again begun.

It is also interesting to say that the more stubborn the resistance of those Tubo people is, the more excited they are, especially when they see the crossbow in the hands of Lou Ning and others, they show their greed without concealment.

They want it.

With such an armament, they have a greater grasp when fighting Songtsen Gampo.

However, Lou Ning and the others occupy the convenience of the city, and the advantage of equipment, they have no better way for the time being.

Siege has never been easy.

Everyone is ready.

In the afternoon, when the battle stopped, the old pawn of King Ning's army said: "You say, will King Ming abandon us like King Daning?" ”

Their biggest fear right now is abandonment.

was abandoned twice, and everyone had no bottom in their hearts.

"Haven't you gotten used to it?" Someone laughed, "Abandon it, abandon it, anyway, I'm used to it." ”

How much self-deprecation there is in these words, I guess he knows it in his own heart.

Everyone smiled bitterly and said no more.

Yes, abandon it, abandon it, that's what they can decide?

At this moment, someone ran and said, "General, it seems that reinforcements are coming from the north gate." ”

"How many?" Although Lou Ning didn't say anything before, he was actually a little worried.

It doesn't matter if he dies in battle, but there are still so many people here, if Li Chengqian abandons them, they really have only one way to die.

But when I heard that the reinforcements had arrived, I was a little excited at the moment.

"Thousands." The person who came said.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran and said, "General, Lou Yong is back and is rushing here." ”

"Those reinforcements came with him?" Lou Ning asked.

The messenger nodded.

Lou Ning was suddenly overjoyed, and shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, you guys, day by day, you are thinking about it, can Murong Shun compare with King Ming?" When did he abandon his people? ”

Lou Ning said this without a bad heart, he just wanted to hold Li Chengqian's stinky feet and pat Li Chengqian's sycophants, no way, his clansmen still had to point to Li Chengqian's protection in order to survive in the Ming Dynasty.

When everyone heard this, they also laughed, but they didn't speak.

One time doesn't mean much.

King Daning didn't abandon them at the beginning.

"General, His Royal Highness the King of Ming sent Qibi Shamen to lead an army of five thousand to assist us in defending the city, and now the army is outside the city." At this time, Lou Yong hurried to the city and said loudly.

Lou Ning said with a smile: "Very good, very good, General Ben will personally go to greet him." ”

As for who Chebi Shamen is, what does it have to do with him? It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's reinforcements.

Although they can hold it, it is only for a short time, and after a long time, they can't bear it, after all, they only have so many real troops.

It wasn't Li Chengqian who sat in the fortified city at the beginning.

To be honest, he was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect this city wall to be so simple, just now he wondered in his heart, if it was him, how long would it take to take this city.

Just then, the gates opened.

Lou Ning rode out.

As a border city guard, if it wasn't for Lou Ning's order during the war, no one dared to open this city gate.

"General Chebi came at the right time." Lou Ning said with a smile, "General, please." ”

It doesn't matter what the identity of the person who came, it's right to shout like this.

Nor did he correct his title, and in the Tiele Division, he was indeed a great general.

After the two briefly communicated the current situation, Qibi Shamen was also surprised by the bravery of these people.

"Three thousand of you? Until now, the Tubo people have not even approached the root of the city wall? He was incredulous.

Lou Ning actually saw that these were all people from the Tiele Department, and they hadn't changed their clothes yet, so they probably thought they should be those people from Qi Bi He Li.

"The main thing is that our ordnance advantage is quite large, and the general doesn't need to be surprised......" Lou Ning explained briefly.

After listening to Lou Ning, Qi Qi Shamen nodded, he still knew this, but he hadn't had time to see it yet.

After chatting for a while, Qi Bishamen said: "Since General Ben is here, General Lou will take his subordinates to rest first." ”

With the arrival of reinforcements, the hope of the Tibetan people to break the city is becoming more and more slim.

On the third day, Yi Yuanxi rushed to the border city with the people of the Ministry of Industry, and tens of thousands of herdsmen on the grassland, plus the food and ordnance rationed by the Ministry of Households.

The herdsmen on the grassland heard that the Tibetans were coming, and now they need manpower to build the city, and they are also very active.

Chishuiyuan borders on Tibet, and there has been friction between the two sides over the years.

In the final analysis, Li Chengqian has not oppressed them, which is why they are so positive.

Moreover, when Ihara Xi recruited people on the grassland, the food and salary were paid to them for a month in advance, and if something happened, they would leave according to the soldiers' pensions, so that even their worries were solved.

Seeing Yi Yuanxi coming with tens of thousands of people, Lou Ning and the others were shocked.

Good guys, although these people are here to build the city, as long as so many people go to the city to fight, or go out of the city for a walk, those Tubo people will probably have to be scared away.

I don't understand what this means, so many people come, don't worry about us?

"Yishangshu, who are you?" He still knew Yi Yuanxi, and when Li Chengqian met them, Yi Yuanxi was present.

Yi Yuanxi said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to worry too much, we are all ordered to build the city, these are also herdsmen on the grassland, in the past few years, there have been snow disasters on the grassland for many years, and there are no cattle and sheep to graze, come out to do work, subsidize the family."

Of course, if the generals need to fight in the war, it is also possible to mobilize them to defend the city.

My men on the grassland can also kill the enemy on horseback. ”

His words also have the meaning of deterrence, although he does not lead troops, it does not mean that he does not understand anything.

Yi Shangshu laughed. Qi Qi Shamen said with a smile, "But there are more than 10,000 thieves, and there is no need to make a big move." ”

"That's fine, if necessary, the general just greets." Ihara didn't insist either.

The two chatted for a while before leaving.

Qibi Shamen was also surprised by the mobilization power of the Ming Dynasty, but it was the Tubo attack, so tens of thousands of people were mobilized.

In wars, sometimes it is not only the soldiers who fight, but these people are also the key to it.

At the same time, Lu Dongzan once again set foot on Sun Moon Mountain.

"Your envoy is here to declare war?" Li Chengqian looked at Lu Dongzan in front of him and said casually.

Lu Dong praised: "The foreign minister is on the order of my Tubo Zampu this time, and came to apologize to the Ming court. ”

"Oh?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "So, the next time my Ming Dynasty's army hits Tibet, I only need to send one person to apologize?" ”

"Your Highness's words are wrong." Lu Dongzan said, "This time it was not my Tubo army that invaded the Ming Dynasty, but the rebellion of Tubo. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian was ecstatic in his heart.

Confirmed!

Of course, there was still a cold look on his face: "According to what you say, there may be a lot of rebellion in my Ming Dynasty in the future." ”

"In order to show the sincerity of Tibet, Tibet is willing to send troops to help the Ming court exterminate these rebellions." Lu Dongzan said with a smile.

That's what he's doing.

In other words, if Wang Xuance was not a native of the Tang Dynasty, if he only made contributions as an envoy, he would not be far behind.

Li Chengqian sneered: "Your envoy's words are interesting, since it is your rebellion in Tibet, how can you help me exterminate the Ming Dynasty?" Your envoy will turn black and white upside down, what's the matter, do you want this king to thank you? ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood." Lu Dong praised, "Now, those rebels are operating on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no reason for my Tibetan army to come to the Ming Dynasty to conquer the rebellions, right?" Why don't Your Highness drive it back? As long as we rush back to the territory of Tibet, I will naturally be able to send troops to clear it.

It's just rebellious, why bother? ”

"Humph!" Li Chengqian snorted coldly, "Your envoy is looking down on my Ming court?" Since Tubo itself is not capable of suppressing the rebellion, let this king come, dare to invade the Ming Dynasty, and kill without mercy! ”

Of course, he did this on purpose.

Lu Dongzan's agitation method may work on a real teenager, but it can be used on an old fritter like him who has long been smoothed out by later generations.

That's blind.

However, since you have given me such an opportunity, I must seize it.

If you want to lure the tiger into the wolf, I also want to be the main customer.

"Your envoy remember today's words, and he must not forget them in the future!"
