Chapter 231: Swear to the death and not get along

Look at the eyes of Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong, are you kid drinking too much, we and Tuyuhun have just finished fighting, although we have concluded a peace agreement, but we still have hatred between the two sides, you go to the grassland to see the eyes of those people, I can't wait to eat us all alive, you occupied the land of 400 miles before and after the people, do you still want to have a good relationship with others? There's no such thing in the world, right?

"Don't be confused, two generals, I'll just say one thing, is Tuyuhun better as our neighbor, or is Tubo better as our neighbor?"

After Li Xiang said this, the two generals also figured out that the Tubo State has the ambition to enter the Central Plains, which is not a secret thing, and the strength of this empire is still relatively strong, at least much stronger than Tuyuhun, but if it is compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is a little inferior.

But people in this era don't know that in their eyes, the strength of the Tubo State is about the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Xiang knows that the difference between the national strength of the two countries is too far, just look at the land between the two countries, one lives in the rich land of the Central Plains, and the other lives on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

If Datang has the right to choose, Tuyuhun is very weak and can destroy him at any time, but at the same time, he can isolate Tubo and Datang, just like the current situation, it should be the most satisfactory for everyone, but Tubo and Tuyuhun probably don't think so.

"If we had known that there was such a situation today, we shouldn't have weakened Tuyuhun so badly."

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, in these days in the southwest, he sent a large number of his subordinates to Tuyuhun, and now Tuyuhun is filled with an aura of defeat, and there are hostilities between various tribes, after all, the north has lost a large number of grasslands, and can only be crowded in the central and southern regions, which is an irreconcilable contradiction for Tuyuhun.

Originally, there were only two tribes in this grassland, but now there are five tribes, and according to their khan's will, the five tribes want to divide this grassland equally, which no one wants to replace.

"You also know the general situation, this is the matter of bringing you here, if Lu Dongzan proposes to marry, how should we deal with it?"

When Li Shimin said this, Li Xiang knew that Li Shimin's heart was loosened, that day in the court, Li Shimin had already announced to the subjects of the world that the Tang Dynasty would never be in harmony from now on, if it was because of the loosening of Tibet, then where was the majesty of the emperor? Where is the majesty of Datang?

Eldest Sun Wuji didn't speak, he was also watching everyone's reactions.

It is not a difficult thing for a politician to overturn his original words in a different way, but Li Xiang will never allow such a thing to happen, and he must plant the idea of discord in everyone's heads.

"I can't get along, especially in this situation, if I break the rules of the Tang Dynasty, then the rules will be empty words, and the people will not believe in the majesty of the court."

Li Xiang saw that no one expressed his position on this issue, even Cheng Yanjin did not dare to speak, after all, this is related to the relationship between the two countries, Li Xiang immediately stood up, just like the last time in the court, he must resolutely oppose it, and everyone present will weigh the pros and cons, in case this iron law is broken, the impact on the entire Chinese nation is too profound.

Li Xiang's attitude last time everyone still remembers, but now that something like this has happened, the 150,000 troops of the Tubo State have already set up troops on the border, once we don't get along, then how do we deal with it? This is not a small country like Tuyuhun.

"Has Your Highness thought about it? In case we refuse, then the Tubo State will resort to war, although there is still a Tuyuhun in the middle, but the strength of Tuyuhun is extremely weak, if the 150,000 troops of the Tubo State attack Tuyuhun, at most half a year, Tuyuhun will all belong to the Tubo State, and then the southwest of our country will ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji's words were not finished, but everyone also knew what would happen in the southwest, once Tubo was allowed to take Tuyuhun, according to their idea of aggression, it would be difficult for the border of my Tang Dynasty to be peaceful.

The most important thing is that they can retreat to the plateau if they are defeated, we may fail to catch up, and we won a war with great effort, and the final results are not big, and the losses are just some soldiers, which is a bit unworthy for Datang.

"My Tang Dynasty soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they are never afraid of any challenge, and Tubo is no exception, even if Tubo wants to destroy Tuyuhun, it will take half a year, not to mention that this minister is still in our country, and it will take half a year to delay on the way back, so we will have a year to train the army and train the army that can go to the plateau to fight."

Everyone knows Li Xiang's vigorous and resolute temperament, but he didn't expect that he was already making such preparations now, preparing to fight against Tibet.

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Li Xiang immediately began to explain that in the Tuyuhun land we occupied, there is a piece on the plateau, we can send our troops over, let them adapt to the situation on the plateau first, and the soldiers who are not suitable will be withdrawn, and those who are adapted can continue to stay there, and after a year, our country can also make up an army that can fight on the plateau, and if the Tubo army is defeated, we can also follow them along the road of retreat. Once we enter the hinterland of the Tibetan country, this great problem will be solved.

"How can Your Highness guarantee that trained soldiers will be able to fight on the plateau?"

General Qin Qiong said with some disbelief, after all, when we fought with Tubo before, hundreds of soldiers in our country entered the plateau, but these hundreds of soldiers lost their combat effectiveness almost instantly, according to them, Tubo is a place blessed by the gods, once we enter their territory, we can only be slaughtered, and those hundreds of soldiers came back alive less than one-tenth.

In the 21st century, everyone understands what this is, that is, after entering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the air is thin, and people living in the plains cannot exert their skills there, but in this era, science and technology are not so developed, and the theory of ghosts and gods prevails.

"It's very simple, just find some people who have been there, you can't get used to it in two or three days after you've been there, but you can definitely adapt to it in ten days......"
