Li Shimin: "......"

"Fortunately, your kid is from Datang, if you are a Hu person, then Datang will definitely be disturbed by you."

"Is that a compliment?" Xu Fenglei said with a smile.

"Sort of!"

Li Er nodded and said in a deep voice,

"Originally, I didn't have any ideas in Tubo, but in Tuguhun, I do have the heart to swallow up!"

"First, his Murong father and son are not honest, and secondly, after all these years of recuperation, it is time for Datang to expand and expand."

"I want to give future generations a vast territory, so that the Tang people will have no more boundless troubles!"

From the beginning, Tuyuhun was on his recipe.

And Tuyuhun also likes to die...... Now there are only two conditions left before the troops are dispatched.

First, it is a five-year armistice, which will end next year.

Second, it is the name of the division, and now that Xu Fenglei is so calculated, it seems that the reason for sending troops is about to be found?

Thinking that he could fight again, Li Shimin's heart was a little excited.

Although he is also very good, he is still a martial emperor who will win the world immediately!

It's been five years, and now Datang's national strength is thriving, and the army is also strong, which can be described as a shotgun for a cannon!

Everything is ready...... Naturally, I want to try Bingfeng!

……

Outside the temple.

"Brother Murong."

Lu Dongzan stepped forward to greet Murong Lin,

"How did you go so fast? It's still early, why don't we go have a drink and talk? ”

When Murong Lin heard this, his face was displeased.

"Lu Dongzan, am I familiar with you?"

He said coldly,

"I just saw me ugly, and I didn't see enough? You're going to see my jokes again, huh? ”

Lu Dongzan; “……”

"Uh, this ......"

Lu Dongzan was stunned and said,

"Brother Murong, why do you say this? I know that you must be wronged in your heart, after all, Lord Murong has done something wrong, but you have to bear the consequences as soon as possible. ”

"I'm not thinking about it...... Accompany you to relieve your boredom! ”

Murong Lin snorted coldly.

"You don't have to! There is now a competitive relationship between you and me! ”

He said unceremoniously,

"There's only one princess! Let's see what they can do! Leave! ”

After that, Murong Lin had already brushed his sleeves away, leaving only Lu Dongzan standing in place with a stiff expression.

"This man is really ......"

He touched his nose and said,

"But also, the top priority now is to send a letter to Zampu to explain the reason."

"If you really ask to marry the Tang princess, I'm afraid you have to think about it!"

Thinking in his heart, Lu Dongzan also walked quickly towards the palace gate.

……

Whew-

Whew-

The cold wind howled, and the goose feather snow fell from the sky, endlessly.

Although the snow is heavy, it melts quickly when it falls to the ground, and it can't be piled up, and it can't cause any snow disaster.

The royal city of Tibet.

Inside the royal palace.

Songtsen Gampo was roasting on fire, holding the letter sent by Lu Dongzan in his hand, with an indifferent expression.

He read it and handed the letter to the people in the room.

The few people in front of them are all princes and ministers of Tubo, and they come here to discuss matters, which is similar to the political affairs hall meeting of the Tang Dynasty.

"The meaning of the Heavenly Khan is very clear."

Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice,

"If you want to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, I must go to Chang'an to marry in person."

"In addition, the dowry of 100,000 cattle and sheep cannot be missing."

"Also, according to the meaning of Lu Dongzan's letter...... King Murong Zun of Tuyuhun is also asking to marry the princess, that is to say...... I want to compete with the prince of Tuyuhun for the princess of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What do you think...... How to choose? ”

As soon as the words fell, Kaden Gampo, who was sitting closest to Songtsen Gampo, slapped the table directly.

"No! You can't leave Tibet! ”

He was displeased,

"Tibet can't leave you one day! You are the most important person in Tibet! ”

"This is the bottom line, and it cannot be shaken! And the 100,000 head of cattle and sheep...... Can we make up so many cattle and sheep in Tibet? If you really want to make it up, I'm afraid that you will have to cut the meat of various tribes! They're going to be dissatisfied! ”

"This Tang princess doesn't have to be married, I think it's better to give up!"

"In the past, there were also marriages with my Tubo, and they didn't have the slightest conditions, and they would send the princess directly to Tubo...... In my opinion, it is enough to marry the princess of the Nibora country, and you don't have to pay attention to the unreasonable demands of the Tang Dynasty! ”

A few words, full of resentment.

This Tang man is too shelf-oriented! It's hard to accept so many requests.

The rest of the princes looked at each other, and were silent for a while, without saying a word.

Only a young man of the same age as Songtsen Gampo spoke:

"The princess of Nibora will marry, and the princess of the Tang Dynasty can also marry. The two are not in conflict. ”

"As the king of Tibet, it doesn't matter how many women you marry."

"The key is what benefits the marriage can bring to Tubo - the eldest brother must think that it is beneficial to marry the Tang Dynasty, so he persistently wants to marry the Tang princess."

"And Uncle Wang's so-called Ni Bo Luo Princess, the requirements are low, and there are no conditions, but in fact, it is the Ni Bo country that has come to contaminate us in Tibet, and we have no other benefits except for friendship."

His words made Kadan Gampo's face sink.

Songtsen Gampo nodded, and said:

"Brother Zangbo is right, marrying the Tang Dynasty is of great benefit to me in Tibet."

"The reason why the Central Plains Dynasty is strong is because of their profound heritage, and the experience and wisdom accumulated by their countless generations of ancestors are a huge treasure."

"And asking to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty is the key to unlocking this treasure!"

"Over the years, I feel that the development of Tibet has been stagnant, although the grain has been harvested year after year, but in fact the national strength has not been enhanced, on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty, is just a few years of recuperation, it is like being reborn! Listening to what Lu Dongzan saw and heard, the current Tang Dynasty is several times stronger than when the Turks were destroyed! ”

Why is that? It's nothing more than that they have a background! And my Tibetan background is shallow! ”

After listening to this analysis, all the princes present also nodded yes.

This must be acknowledged.

Although Tibet also has a history of 1,000 years, it has been in a wild and uncivilized stage for thousands of years, and has not developed a real civilization.

The Tang Dynasty, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, has formed a civilization, and then it is a hundred schools of thought, with Legalism, Confucianism and other schools as the guiding ideology!

This is undoubtedly a big killer in the feudal dynasty!

It stands to reason that not long after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty had only been established for a few years, and they were still very weak.

But the fact is that the Tang Dynasty directly accepted the inheritance of the Sui Dynasty in its entirety, and flourished without any rejection! In a short period of time, it has become a behemoth!

Why?

In one sentence:

Although the country has risen and changed, civilization has never been broken!

"That's what you say...... But the price to pay is too great. ”

Kaden Gampo whispered,

"100,000 cattle and sheep, this is more than the loss of a big defeat!"

Even if Tubo is strong now, it is indeed a bit difficult for them to come up with 100,000 cattle and sheep at once!

"It can be converted into the equivalent of gold and silver."

Zangpo answered,

"We still have mineral deposits in Tibet, and it is easier to carry them when they are exchanged for gold."

"If you really drive 100,000 cattle and sheep to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many people will die on the way."

Kaden Gampo frowned again, looked at the Tibetan cloth, and said unhappily:

"Zangbo, why are you so keen on this?"

"Gold is extremely important! Gold is indispensable for the production of ritual weapons! If this is all given to the Tang Dynasty, what will we do if we are missing? ”

"I still think it's too expensive! I don't approve of this marriage! ”

Zangbo shrugged.

"It's not that I'm enthusiastic, but that the eldest brother has an idea in his heart."

He said,

"Besides, didn't you see what Gardonzan said in his letter? There is only one princess in Datang, and we have to compete with Tuyuhun! ”

"In case Tuyuhun and Datang form an in-laws, then the strength of the Murong clan will definitely increase greatly! At the very least, the Tang Dynasty will give them the support they deserve! ”

"At that time, if we have friction with Tugu, we will definitely not be able to take advantage! And judging by the current situation...... It is inevitable that there will be friction between the two countries in the future! The land of Tuyuhun is also very fertile! It's what we need in Tibet! ”

Kaden Gampu was slightly silent.

Tsangpo continued:

"And if we marry Datang as in-laws, then it will be very uncomfortable for Tuyuhun to be sandwiched in the middle!"

"When the time comes, if we want to send troops to deal with Tuyuhun and cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to attack back and forth, we can easily strangle it! At that time, it will be profitable to carve up Tuyuhun with the Tang Dynasty, or if we monopolize it! ”

"And what the eldest brother just said, if we marry Datang, we can absorb the heritage of Datang! In particular, many of their techniques, such as the techniques and tools used to cultivate the land, are things that we are in desperate need! You can get it from Datang when the time comes! With this, my Tibetan will definitely grow rapidly! This is no comparison of 100,000 cattle and sheep! ”

After a few words, the whip of analysis penetrated into it, and all the princes present nodded their heads again and again.

Songtsen Gampo was even more surprised:

"Zangbo, you're good!"

"You've grown a lot in the past two years, and your knowledge has come up! My brother is a smart man! ”

He was delighted.

Zangbo is his own brother, and now he has seen so much that he can arrange for him to control a large part when the time comes!

"Big brother, we are all descendants of the gods, and we are naturally intelligent."

Zangbo said proudly,

"There are some things that I don't have to learn, I was born with it!"

As he spoke, he also looked at Kadan Gampo with a somewhat contemptuous expression.

Although they are the same clan, only their descendants can claim to be descendants of the gods! A collateral like Kaden Gampo is not worthy!

Kaden Gampo felt the contempt of the Tibetan cloth and his face turned dark.

"Even if what you say makes sense, who will guarantee Zampu's safety? Traveled thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty, what if something happened? ”

He said solemnly,

"If you want to go to the Tang Dynasty, you must pass through Tuyuhun! Since the two sides have a competitive relationship, what should the Tuyuhun people do when the time comes? ”

"It's all dangerous!"

"Zampu, you are the god of Tibet, and you must not have the slightest accident! Otherwise, there will be chaos in the country! If it's nothing else, it's just for your safety, and you can't go! ”

Songtsen Gampo bowed slightly.

Nothing else is a problem, it's just how much it costs.

If you think of this marriage as an investment, then in the long run, it must be earned.

The only problem is security.

Leaving Tibet is not a big problem, as long as everything is arranged, he will be fine after leaving for a few months.

The main reason is that the road is far away, and I am afraid that something will happen!

"Going as a Tibetan Zampu is definitely eye-catching, and it is more dangerous out of thin air."

Zangbo advised,

"I think you should dress up and keep a low profile."

"After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, I will show my identity again - as for the dowry or something, you can talk about it after you arrive in the Tang Dynasty, and you don't have to bring it this time."

"So eldest brother, if you really want to go, my brother suggests that you disguise yourself as a merchant and open a caravan to pass through Tuyuhun, there are so many caravans coming and going on the road, it will definitely be fine."

When Songtsen Gampo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"That's a good idea."

He touched his chin and said,

"Get a caravan, and then all the people in the team will be replaced by my elite soldiers from Tibet, the number of people is not too much, less than 100 people is enough."

"In this way, there will be no obstacles to the passage of Tuyuhun, and with this hundred guards, it can also ensure that there will be no accidents on my way."

"Well, well, that's good! Zangbo, your head is really bright today! ”

Songtsen Gampo praised his younger brother, and Zangpo also grinned.

"Brother Xie's compliment."

He said,

"It is the duty of the younger brother to solve problems for the eldest brother!"

Songtsen Gampo no longer hesitated at this moment, and even clapped his hands and said:

"That's it!"

"Princess Datang, I am bound to win! For the sake of the growth of Tibet, and for the sake of not having a strong neighbor around, I have to go this time! ”

"Uncle, please help me arrange it! Pick a hundred of the most elite soldiers in Tibet and set off with me! ”

"I have to speed up, Tuyuhun is closer to Datang, if that Murong Zun King is one step ahead, then wouldn't I be lagging behind? You have to strike first! ”

As he spoke, he became a little anxious.

The main thing is that there is competition, and competition brings a sense of urgency, so that he does not dare to slack off!

"Zamp, you really want to ......"

Kadan Gampo's face was ugly, and he said,

"It's too dangerous!"

"Say ...... again"

Songtsen Gampo interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"I think it's worth it, so don't dissuade my uncle anymore."

He is right,

"You'd better help me get ready."

"Rest assured, I'll be fine, it's just a low-key trip."

Seeing his resolute expression, Kadan Gampo also knew that he could not persuade him, so he could only nod.

"Okay, okay......"

He could only say,

"I'm going to pick a hundred of the bravest and most clever warriors for you."

"A hundred may not be enough, two hundred, right? Since you want to disguise yourself as a caravan, you can disguise yourself as a large caravan, which is safer. ”

A hundred people, that's really not enough when something happens!

Two hundred is not too much, but at least twice as much, so it can be more reassuring.

"Okay, okay, then listen to my uncle's arrangement."

Songtsen Gampo smiled and said, "Two hundred, two hundred." ”
