Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Western Region, Xihe, and Liaodong are covered with clouds of war, but the sky is high and the clouds are light and the sky is clear and blue on the Tubo Plateau.

    In the palace of Luoxe City, Songtsen Gampo, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, looked at Lu Dongzan who looked tired and his legs were shaking slightly. He quickly stood up to greet him, stepped forward and took Lu Dongzan's skinny hands, and said in surprise:  "Why did the prime minister suddenly go to Chang'an when he was on his way to Tuyuhun? That's fine. I know there must be a reason for it. But since he has arrived in Chang'an, he needs to rest for a few more days. Otherwise, how can his body and bones withstand these thousands of mountains and rivers?  live?"

    Holding the four hands together, he felt that there was not much strength left in Lu Dongzan's skinny body, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

    He inherited the position of Zanpu. At the beginning, it was turbulent and he was always in danger of overthrow. It was only after he reused Lu Dongzan and formed an alliance with him that he stabilized his rule. As a result, Tubo became as powerful as it is today, and he became a rare hero in the history of Tubo.  Lord, swallow the plateau with anger and point your sword at the world.

    But I never dared to believe Lu Dongzan completely.

    This person is so smart!

    In particular, Lu Dongzan has always taken the well-being of the Tubo people as his own responsibility and is committed to the people's livelihood. He has little interest in competing for imperial hegemony such as conquering the Central Plains. This has often caused disagreements between the two people, and has even developed into a feud to this day.  Disagreement.

    "Highland barley wine" made most of the nobles in Tubo make a lot of money, and even the people at the bottom also benefited a lot. It seemed peaceful and everyone was happy.

    However, precisely because of this, his control over the major tribes in the country was reduced to an unprecedented level. In order to make huge profits from "barley wine", these tribes brazenly used their limited grain to brew wine, causing Tubo's grain reserves to be completely exhausted.  They had to rely on trade with the Tang Dynasty to obtain food.

    This is really breaking his roots!

    Without food and nobles who are so greedy for profit, what can he do to invade the Central Plains and strive for world hegemony?

    And all of this was given by Lu Dongzan.

    Could he not see the conspiracy behind Datang¡¯s ¡°Highland Barley Wine¡±?  Of course he could see clearly. He was the smartest person in Tubo, and no one had ever been able to play tricks in front of him.  It can be seen from this that Lu Dongzan knew the harmful effects of "highland barley wine" but still enjoyed it.

    This made Songtsan Gampo very unhappy. In your eyes, is the ambition of Zangtang Zampo not as important as those slaves?

    But now, feeling Lu Dongzan's increasingly weak vitality, a sense of sadness wells up in my heart.

    This is the humerus that helped you wipe out Tubo, occupy Xiangxiong, and dominate the plateau. Even though they have different ideas, they have been helping each other for decades. I am afraid that the day when heaven and man will be separated forever is not far away

    The two sat down respectively. Lu Dongzan said with a wry smile: "It's not that I didn't know that my body and bones couldn't withstand the torment. It's just that I didn't expect that Cui Dunli, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, accidentally discovered the trace of the veteran when he was on an envoy to Tuyuhun. If I didn't go to Chang'an, let's talk about it.  Now, if the Tang Dynasty declared war on Tibet in anger and even cut off trade, that would be a serious problem."

    As he said this, he said guiltily: "The old minister's mistake at the time caused the formula of 'highland barley wine' to flow into Tubo, causing the current domestic food shortage dilemma. I feel ashamed and ashamed of Zamp. But the big mistake has been made, and to this day  , Tubo needs food from the Tang Dynasty, and must not go to war with the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the war will be fierce, the country will be short of food, and it will be completely defeated!"

    Anyone who looks at the regretful look on the wrinkles on Lu Dongzan¡¯s old face will think that he is a dedicated and loyal minister.

    However, Songtsen Gampo only had a sneer in his heart

    A difference of thought?

    I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve been dreaming of this day for a long time!

    He never believed in the loyalty of time without any intention, whether to the emperor or to the people.  What Lu Dongzan called "seeking welfare for the Tubo people" seemed to Songtsen Gampo to be just another roundabout strategy.

    The invitation is real, but the loyalty is empty.

    When the entire Tubo people become rich because of Lu Dongzan's strategy, Lu Dongzan's prestige will rise and reach its peak.

    When all the Tubo people support him, is the position of Zanpu still far away from him?

    His heart was filled with disgust, but his face was full of sighs, and he comforted: "None of us are sages, who can predict what will happen in the future? The Prime Minister cares about the people of Tubo, and he does not hesitate to work hard and bear infamy, but he also wants to find a way for the people of Tubo to get rich.  His mind can tell the sun and the moon about the road, and I deeply admire him. As for the current situation, the Tuyuhun invaders are imminent, and the troops in the Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty are empty, so they must be exhausted. And they have just received news that Damascus has raised 200,000 troops to attack the Western Region.  At present, the Tang Dynasty is already in dire straits. If you are not careful, the country will be destroyed. Tubo does not have to step in to intervene.Just sit quietly on the plateau, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.  "

    Not to mention the flood of "highland barley wine" that caused Tibet to be short of food. Even if this were not the case, with Tibet's current national strength, it would be difficult to win a frontal war with the Tang Dynasty.

    In this case, why not let Tuyuhun and Dashi rush ahead and engage in a bloody battle with the Tang Dynasty, consuming each other?

    Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "No, no, no, Zanpu must not miss this opportunity. Even if Tuyuhun succeeds in raising his troops this time and takes over the counties in Hexi, it will not last long. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, and only needs some buffers.  In a matter of seconds, we can pull out an army of millions. Tuyuhun lacks the back-up force and is unsustainable. Defeat is a matter of time. Instead of the Tang Dynasty counterattacking into Qinghai Lake and completely destroying Tuyuhun, how about we descend from the plateau at that time?  , in the name of supporting the Tang Dynasty, occupy Qinghai Lake first? By that time, Tubo will have obtained the grassland on the banks of Qinghai Lake, and its territory will reach the Qilian Mountains. From now on, it will have an advantage regardless of whether it advances or retreats, offensive and defensive, and this opportunity cannot be missed!"

    Songtsen Gampo was stunned for a moment, then finally let go of Lu Dongtsan's hand, stroking his palms and laughing: "This is a wonderful plan! This is a very wonderful plan!"

    It is absolutely impossible to start a war with the Tang Dynasty. Once the Tang Dynasty completely cuts off the commercial exchanges between the two countries, Tibet will be in a dilemma of food shortage. By then, it is difficult to say whether the country can be stable. Where will there be spare power to fight against the Tang Dynasty?

    But if we send troops to Qinghai Lake in the name of supporting the Tang Dynasty and take its fertile pastures as our own, we will not only gain a geographical advantage, but also obtain rich pastures.

    You can even take the opportunity to ask Datang for a batch of grain as a gift

    Even if the Tang Dynasty was dissatisfied with Tubo's occupation of Qinghai Lake, it would be difficult to break up with Tubo in the short term. After all, although Tubo was short of food, its aggressiveness remained unabated. Even if it knew that it would be defeated, it could still severely defeat the Tang Dynasty, which had no national power.  I want another piece of meat.

    Tubo did not dare to break up with the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, how could the Tang Dynasty dare to go to war with Tubo?

    Both countries have scruples. As long as they don¡¯t cross the other side¡¯s bottom line, even if it goes a little too far, the other side can only hold back

    Songtsen Gampo has been seeking to break out of the plateau for half his life. He has fought against the Tang Dynasty many times in the past, but has never made progress. Now he is sitting at home behind closed doors. He originally just hoped to encourage Tuyuhun to add obstacles to the Tang Dynasty and weaken the Tang Dynasty.  Strength, but didn't want to actually get such an opportunity.

    He was inexplicably excited, rubbed his palms and said: "The people of the Tang Dynasty have been bullying me for a long time. They proposed to me several times and were rejected, making me a laughing stock in the world. I wish I could personally lead an army to march into Chang'an, destroy their country and exterminate their heirs! What I got today!  If we have the opportunity, we must let the Tang people suffer the loss of being dumb!"

    No one is a saint, joy, anger, sorrow and joy are ordinary.  As Songtsen Gampo, who unified Tubo and occupied the plateau and regarded himself as a generation of heroes, the experience of going to Chang'an several times to propose marriage but being rejected many times had already made him feel that he had lost face and became angry with shame. He just took the overall situation into consideration and kept tolerating  Not sent.

    Now that you have the opportunity to disgust Datang, how can you not be happy?

    Songtsen Gampo immediately promised: "The Prime Minister will go back to his hometown to rest first. When his physical strength recovers, he will lead his army to the Tuyuhun border and invade its territory if there is an opportunity. If Prime Minister really conquers Qinghai Lake for Tubo, I will  It is given to the Gar family and will be your fief for generations to come!"

    Lu Dongzan was so grateful that he immediately knelt down on the ground, kissed Zanpu's shoes, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Even if I am shattered to pieces, I can't repay Zanpu's kindness! Please rest assured Zanpu, even if I give up this life."  The bones will also be used to plunder Qinghai Lake for Zanpu, so that the Tibetan war horses can herd Qinghai Lake!"

    Songtsen Gampo laughed and convinced him, and said with emotion: "The Zanpu family has been on good terms with the Gar family for generations. I hope that our descendants can understand and complement each other like I do with the Prime Minister."

    Ludongzan quickly expressed his position: "The Gar family will be Zanpu's eagle dogs for all their lives. They are loyal and will never abandon them!"
