More than half a year is enough time for these Tibetan captives to be completely corrupted.

It is the so-called easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

After a quarter of two clothes, three meals a day, and a week of meat, there is no need to worry about how the Tibetan captives who can't eat enough to eat one day can endure the life of Tibet.

Moreover, although Songtsen Gampo unified the plateau, it does not mean that Songtsen Gampo can completely suppress the plateau, and everyone will listen to him.

The issue of the distribution of interests involved in him is more serious than that of Li Shimin.

Li Kuan silently thanked Li Tai and Li Ke in his heart at this time, if it weren't for them giving Songtsen Gampo ideas, attacking Datang from multiple angles at the same time, and allowing Datang to capture some Tubo people, the situation in Songtsen Gampo would not have reached the point where he was desperate.

After sending off those Tibetan captives, Li Kuan received news from his own people on the plateau.

About two months ago, the tribal chieftains of the Tibetan people on the plateau forced Songtsen Gampo to give up some of their benefits.

The reason for forcing the palace is very simple, Songtsen Gampo has suffered two or three consecutive defeats against the Tang Dynasty.

Losing is a sin.

This is the fundamental principle of war.

"Hehe, what I should do now is to cut off the trade between Tibet, stop their material delivery there, and let them live with gold."

Li Kuan thought happily.

And he is the type to do when he thinks of it, and immediately ordered the Chamber of Commerce to strictly prohibit doing business with Tubo, ordered the people of the Royal Investment Bank to take care of the factory and not allow materials to leak, and then asked the border troops stationed in the Tubo and Tang Passage to hold the plateau passage to the death, anyway, it is absolutely not allowed to do business with Tubo.

Lu Dongzan returned to the plateau with his front foot and got the news of Songtsen Gampo.

The young Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan and said with a wry smile: "Just when you came back, news came from below that the Tang Dynasty had blocked the entire plateau, and the original supplies could not be returned. ”

"There is also news from the purchase channel of Qianzhuang, because the factory is on fire, and the materials that were originally promised to us are now gone."

"I've blocked the message."

Lu Dongzan's face turned dark, and he scolded angrily: "Shameless." ”

He guessed with his feet that this was done by Li Kuan, except for Li Kuan, no one would do this kind of thing to trick them into Tibet.

But the two glanced at each other and saw each other's helplessness.

Just need to be stuck in the other party's hands.

"Datang's material purchase is currently the biggest card in our hands, and now that it has been stopped, it will be difficult for us in the future."

The complexion of Songtsen Gampo is quite ugly.

Buying a large number of daily necessities from Datang at a low price, he can sell them in Tubo to make money, and he can also give priority to selling them to his subordinates to win people's hearts.

It can be said that this is his biggest card, and there is no one.

After all, in Tibet, a country with scarce materials, it is really whoever has enough living materials in his hands can gather troops and become the boss.

In this life, Songtsen Gampo relied on Lu Dongzan to buy materials from the Tang Dynasty at a low price, and he sold them at a high price to earn the difference in middlemen, and because his high price was lower than the original price in Tibet, he successfully gained a good reputation.

Now that the supplies are stuck, Songtsen Gampo is very uncomfortable now, and a solution must be found as soon as possible.

"If not, I'll talk to him again."

Lu Dongzan said with a gloomy face.

Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said helplessly: "How to talk about it?" ”

"Didn't you say it, he doesn't need the support of others, he doesn't need money, and he doesn't want beauty, as long as we bow down to him."

"I guess he must have known about our crisis and did this."

Lu Dongzan also knows this, but there is no way, don't talk about it, there is no way out, there is still a little hope after talking.

Taking a deep breath, Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth and said, "The materials stored in my hand can still maintain peace on the plateau for half a year, even if it is a high welfare for the thousand returning captives. ”

"Therefore, what we need to do now is to find a way to produce enough materials on the plateau to last our life, and at the same time, to do a good job of the consciousness of who rebels and kills whom."

"As long as there is enough force, we can maintain our rule first."

Songtsen Gampo rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, there were many private soldiers of large tribes in the troops sent last time, not only his own people.

Otherwise, those tribes would definitely rush up and eat him when he was weak.

Lu Dongzan nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "That's the only way, bet, these craftsmen can reproduce the technology we stole from Datang." ”

"They're all craftsmen anyway, so they should be able to understand it."

"As long as we can produce results, we can revitalize the situation."

Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo also have their own calculations.

They also know and agree with the saying that it is better to rely on everyone than to rely on themselves.

So they have never thought of relying on Datang all the time.

They have been trying to find a way to steal technology from Datang.

When cooperating with Li Tai and Li Ke, they also got a lot of technologies one after another, the most useful of which was the purification of stone salt, which was also the first technology they overcame, and this technology made Songtsen Gampo breathe a sigh of relief in the use of salt.

But although they have also got their hands on many other technologies, they have not been developed well or copied for various reasons.

Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan both belong to the series of ruthless people, and they have always used repression, violent suppression, and never forgiveness for those who provoke.

Therefore, in the early days when some tribes got the news vaguely and began to look for trouble, Lu Dongzan personally led troops to smash a small tribe and set an example for them.

The decisive approach made many people shut up.

After Li Kuan learned about the situation on the plateau, he decisively activated some of the shadows he had buried on the plateau.

"Directly publicize the news of the lack of materials in the hands of Songtsen Gampo and Ludongzan."

"At the same time, the high welfare of the 1,000 captives will also be promoted, and by the way, our Datang will release the captives for them one after another."

Li Kuan saw Lu Dongzan's violent behavior and knew that he and Songtsen Gampo were in crisis.

In that case, of course something has to be done.

They don't have a single propaganda, but it is not the same with the high welfare brought by the returned captives.

is also born as a human being, why does he eat more than me.

This mentality is seen by many people.

The unwilling anger will inevitably make Tubo burn, and those tribal masters will inevitably force the palace.

As for the shadow ending that was enabled, Li Kuan can only say I'm sorry, but I will definitely take care of your family.

For the sake of Datang, the person who went to be a shadow son had long been prepared.

In fact, as Li Kuan thought, a large number of people in Tibet began to be unconvinced, and then various tribes began to force Songtsen Gampo and Ludongzan to the palace.

Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan's way of dealing with it was ruthlessly beyond Li Kuan's expectations.

The two chose to fight first, fiercely deter a wave of tribal chiefs, and then negotiate peacefully.

After several consecutive victories, Songtsen Gampo held peace talks as a victor and successfully subdued the Tibetan tribal chieftains.

Li Kuan's secret son brought him the content of the peace talks, and after reading it, Li Kuan laughed directly.

"Crack Datang's technology?"

"But there are many good things on the plateau, and there are no raw materials."

Li Kuan knows that a big reason for the lack of materials on the plateau is the scarcity of raw materials.
