Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Half a month later, Changsun Chong drove carefully all the way. There were still ten days to go before he could reach the designated place, and Changsun Chong's mission was completed.  Changsun Chong did not dare to be careless along the way and arranged many people to stand guard in the middle of the night.  This is rations for a hundred thousand troops.  Cheng Yaojin went to Tubo to borrow troops, so he couldn't let the Tibetan soldiers bring their own dry food. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????????  Songtsen Gampo was surprised when he heard that the scouts had come to report. Why did the Tang Dynasty come to him?  He didn't plot a rebellion, he just did some tricks on Tuyuhun. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty stood up for Tuyuhun?  Thinking about it carefully, it¡¯s not true. Today, Tuyuhun is in civil strife and has begun to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to stand up for Tuyuhun.  The only possibility now is that the Tang Dynasty is going to deal with Tuyuhun. When they come to Tubo, they probably come here to inform them not to act rashly.  A few days later, Songtsen Gampo received Cheng Yaojin, the first-rank general of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ji arrived.  Oops, even though he has never seen them, Songtsan Gampo has long heard about the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing are very famous!  It stands to reason that if the Tang Dynasty wanted to teach Tuyuhun a lesson and inform Tubo, all he had to do was send an unknown envoy. There was no need to send a general, and there were only two generals.  Songtsen Gampo couldn¡¯t sit still. I wonder what the hell they wanted to do here?  I'm afraid that if I neglect a first-grade general of the Celestial Dynasty, the consequences will be disastrous.  Songtsen Gampo felt uneasy, worried that his recent actions might have offended the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, Tibetans also dealt with him.  After careful consideration, Songtsen Gampo felt that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to use troops against Tubo. Even if they did, it would not be so hasty, and it would be at the time of Tuyuhun's rebellion.  If it is carried out with Tuyuhun and Tubo at the same time.  Then the Tang Dynasty would be in danger. It would be attacked from both sides, and military strategists would be wary.  Since it¡¯s not the case, then Datang just wants something else.  Thinking of this, Songtsen Gampo felt a little relieved. As long as it was not about attacking Tubo, other matters could be discussed.  Tubo is now followed by Nepal, and there is Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun in front of it. The situation is not good!  The Tang Dynasty was rich in products.  In this land of outstanding people, what place can Datang ask for?  It¡¯s nothing more than the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people.  It must be said that Songtsen Gampo was a hero who could unify Tubo and promote the development of Tibet.  There is a gully in the chest, but he is shrewd!  Songtsen Gampo ordered people to clean the streets.  Queue to welcome.  Welcome Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji into the city.  Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji all came to Tubo for the first time, and they found it quite interesting to see the buildings that were different from those in the Central Plains.  This Songtsen Gampo was a talented man, and he actually dared to let them in.  They also sent Tibetan people to greet him.  Many Tubo people have heard of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and were said to be as powerful as gods, so they came out to see it out of curiosity.  Songtsen Gampo came to greet him personally.  Fortunately, he had learned some Khan words before in order to prepare for a marriage proposal to the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he failed to propose marriage, but now he actually used it.  "The fact that the two generals of the Celestial Dynasty can come to Tubo really makes the whole country of Tubo celebrate." Songtsen Gampo said approvingly, "We have prepared fine wine and food, let's enter the palace together." Li Ji stepped forward and said: "Thank you very much.  On behalf of the Emperor of China, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for your hospitality.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, please come in,¡± Songtsan Gumbo said modestly, welcoming the two of them into the palace.  Although the buildings outside are very ordinary, the palace is magnificently repaired.  Oops, that master is so shiny, isn¡¯t it really made of gold?  Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and buttoned it with his hands. Oops, you are trying to make yourself fat, but it turned out to be gold-plated.  Marching in a hurry along the way, eating dry food, his mouth was almost like a bird. When Cheng Yaojin saw the roasted lamb and roasted suckling pig, he was very excited. He sat down and started eating and drinking without waiting for greetings.  "Ahem!" Li Ji felt embarrassed and coughed twice, reminding Cheng Yaojin not to go too far.  Cheng Yaojin raised his head, held up a leg of lamb, and said: "Songtsen Gampo once proposed to His Majesty Qiu Qiu for the National Day. If it weren't for the gangsters in Tuyuhun who interfered with it, he would have been His Majesty's son-in-law now. Although it failed, but  Gampo's kindness is commendable, and it is said that Gampo is very hospitable. Even if I am rude, I believe Gampo will tolerate it." When Songtsen Gampo heard this, his mind became more active. Hearing this tone, he seemed to be very generous.  The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty relented and said with a smile on his face: "The two generals should be in their own homes. These things are prepared for the two generals. There is no need to be polite. We Tubo have been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty for generations. If Tuyuhun hadn't caused trouble,  , Tubo is probably one family with the Celestial Dynasty now." "That's what Ganbu said!" Cheng Yaojin took a bite of the mutton.?Charcoal on the outside and tender on the inside, very good.  When Li Ji saw that Songtsan Gampo had said this, he was not polite. He and Songtsan Gampo ate and drank with each other.  Cheng Yaojin was even more unambiguous, eating and drinking wildly for a while.  "The two generals have come all the way. They must have something important to do. As long as we Tubo can contribute, we will do our best." Songtsen Gampo put his posture very low, thinking that since the Tang Dynasty had recognized the true face of Tuyuhun, he would  It might be easier to ask for marriage later.  But before that, he still needs to perform better.  If you want to get the benefits of Datang, you must first make some efforts.  In the words of the Han people in the Central Plains, it means that if you don¡¯t let go of your children, you won¡¯t find a wolf.  "Now that Ganbu has said it, I won't hide it anymore. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty sent us two here to borrow troops. The weather is cold now, and the climate in Tuyuhun is even more severe. It is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize troops at the moment.  , and even if troops are mobilized, the environment there will not be suitable for them. Since we want to suppress the rebellion and fight, it is natural that the right time, place and people are not good enough.  I admire the Tang Dynasty and are friendly with the Tang Dynasty, so I made this unkind request!" Li Ji explained that as long as this Tubo Ganbu was not a fool, he would agree.  If you don¡¯t agree, you will offend Datang. If you want to talk about friendship, marriage, etc. in the future, get out!  Not only were there no doors, there were no windows either.  When Songtsan Gumbu heard this, he rolled his eyes and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Whether the pros of agreeing to borrow troops outweighed the cons or the cons outweighed the benefits.  When Tuyuhun rebelled, it was indeed difficult for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize troops, but it was definitely not impossible, but it was just more time-consuming and laborious.  It would be much easier if we borrowed troops from Tubo. After all, Tubo and Tuyuhun often fought wars and were very experienced. Secondly, Tubo soldiers had already adapted to the local climate.  If Tubo lends troops to the Tang Dynasty, then the marriage can definitely be accomplished. I heard that the princess will have a large dowry.  When the time comes, I believe the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to refuse if they ask for what they want.  And with the arrival of the Princess of Tang Dynasty, she can just deal with the current princess who was born as a Nepali princess.  Previously, he used the power of Nepal to unify Tubo.  Now that the country has calmed down, people are living and working in peace and contentment, but there are also difficult and overwhelming things that cannot be dealt with. It is easy to ask the gods but difficult to give them away. This Nepalese power has begun to penetrate into the interior of Tubo.  We also know that only the princesses of the Tang Dynasty can withstand the power of Nepal, because Nepal can ignore Tibet, but it will never dare to act arrogantly in front of the Tang Dynasty.  ¡°Then he can just sit back and watch the power of Nepal and the power of the Princess of Tang Dynasty fight, and he will benefit.  After thinking about this, Songtsan Gampo finally nodded and said: "Since the Emperor of Heaven has said it, I fully agree with it. However, Tubo is not stable at home. I'm afraid I can't borrow a lot. How about 50,000 soldiers?" Songtsen Gampo was worried about them.  The lion opened his mouth and said that it would be a bad idea to borrow it, so he guessed the number.  There are a total of 200,000 troops in the country, and lending 50,000 will not pose a threat to Tibet.  ¡°Besides, these 50,000 people are Tibetan soldiers, and their families are all in Tibet. There is no need to worry that these people will help the Tang Dynasty deal with Tibet.  The number of 50,000 soldiers is a number inferred by the Tang Dynasty based on the actual situation in Tubo and Songtsen Gampo's personal situation.  Fifty thousand is enough. The Tang Dynasty also has an army of fifty thousand. Together, it is enough.  Tuyuhun itself began to be disrupted internally, separated and scattered into several strands, and was not afraid.  Li Ji stood up, saluted and said, "Thank you very much Ganbu for your heroic action. Fifty thousand troops are enough!" "Well, I will prepare food and fodder for them now and set off within three days. How about that? The two generals can also come here.  Tubo needs some rest," Songtsen Gampo suggested.  "Oops, Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other. This Tubo is so kind. He even prepared his own food and grass.  It can be seen that Tubo's national power is still very strong and it doesn't care about these things.  "Thank you Ganbu for your careful arrangements and letting you prepare food and grass. I am really grateful. I shouldn't have accepted Ganbu's gift originally, but I changed my mind and thought that if the Tibetan soldiers are not used to the meals prepared by our Tang Dynasty, then they will  It will affect the whole army. I will accept the gift of Ganbu on behalf of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. When the victory comes, I will report it to His Majesty and give Tubo and Ganbu a generous thank you." Li Ji is thinking fast, so don't waste it!  No, it¡¯s in vain if you ask for it.  The journey was long and it was very difficult to transport grain and grass. Since someone offered grain and grass, Li Ji would not refuse anyone who came.  Songtsen Gampo was smiling all over his face. He was a good man who would fight to the end. Although it was really painful to prepare food and fodder for 50,000 people, he could get a lot of benefits by destroying Tuyuhun immediately.  In the words of the Han people, the first to enter the water and the towers is to get the moon. If Tubo is close to Tuyuhun, it will definitely get a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and slaves, which are equivalent to food and grass money.  "General, you're welcome,"??This is my intention.  When we are victorious and triumphant, I will continue to send marriage missions to ask for the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tubo people can also feel the grace and power of the Tang Dynasty.  Songtsan Gambo took the opportunity to say, this is the main purpose. "Gampo, don't worry, I and General Cheng can still speak well in front of His Majesty, and they will definitely give Gambo a good word."  "Li Ji got the benefit, so of course he couldn't forget to be a good boy and stroke Songtsen Gampo's hair down.
