Chapter 725: The Turks Visit Tibet
After the end of the alliance of the Western Turkic Khan, he walked all the way with the Hui Great Khan, the two countries were originally enemy countries, when the Western Turks took Gaochang for Bai Fan, the Hui Hui were still in the rear to attack the Western Turks.
But the so-called there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests, less than two years, the Western Turks took the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and at the same time fought with the Tang Dynasty and defeated the nest and returned to the nest, the Hui people appeared again.
This time he was not stabbing a knife in the back, but to lobby the Western Turks, saying the same thing that Goguryeo foresaw, saying that the only remaining big countries on the grassland today are the Hui and the Western Turks, and once the Tang Dynasty rises completely, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not expand its territory, so it needs to unite the grasslands.
At that time, Mo Helu held a grudge and was only vague, thinking of revenge one day, but after the Goguryeo alliance, the two countries finally put aside their previous suspicions and came together.
"Great Khan, there are few weak people in my Hui country, and they are not as strong as the Western Turks, so we can only send 100,000 elite cavalry." The Lord of the Hui Kingdom spoke.
Mo Helu nodded, 100,000 people, and the Hui people did not hide their secrets.
"Let's go back first, autumn has just passed, and we can't go to war for a while, after all, winter is coming, our grassland is most afraid of the cold winter, and now Datang has tightened the exit for us, and the days are really sad."
I have already discussed with Yuan Gai Suwen in private, go back to the cat for the winter first, and wait until the spring of the next year, when the Tang Dynasty is ploughing in the spring, they will be caught off guard. ”
"Great Khan See."
The two countries signed the letter of alliance at the Hui king's tent, and Mo Helu drove his horse back to the Western Turks, but he did not forget, and promised to contact the Tubo people to see if there was any means to restrain the thunder.
In order to show solemnity and the need to hide traces along the way, Mo Helu sent his henchmen, the Western Turkic Zuoxian King, to personally disguise himself and go south and go straight to the bitter cold land of Tibet.
After three full months of tribulation, the Western Turkic Zuoxian King finally climbed the plateau and came to the city of the Tubo King, originally set off with a team of fifty people, but now there are less than twenty people left, which is still not in the case of the enemy in the Tang Dynasty, which shows the difficulty of this road.
In the Tubo Guest House, a group of Tubo people surrounded the three layers inside and the three layers outside like looking at giant pandas, staring at Zuo Xianwang and the others.
"Yo, this is the Prairie Man? How rough is it? ”
"Yes, yes, I heard that it is still a big Western Turkic country, this head, I don't know what to eat and grow up."
"I heard that it is Dundun mutton and goat milk, which is much more delicious than our barley."
"It's just that this outfit is a little unbearable, almost like the beggars in our city, can it be said that they have all the money to eat? Can't even afford a piece of clothing? ”
The onlookers pointed and pointed.
These two countries, one in the south and the other in the north, basically had no intersection, but now that they have contacts due to the common enemy of the Tang Dynasty, it is no wonder that the people have seen each other.
As the people speculated, the road is difficult and dangerous, must be vigorously disguised, Zuo Xianwang is worthy of the Western Turkic general, in order to keep a low profile, the clothes are directly dressed as beggars, March has not changed, the money on the road is all consumed into food and medicine, as a member of the heavy responsibility of the general, he knows the importance of maintaining physical strength and combat effectiveness, so this road did not lose weight because of rushing.
"Your envoy, welcome your envoy to my Tubo as a guest, but my family Zampu is still meeting guests, and I don't have time to meet your envoy for the time being, so I will wait for a few days, and when my family Zampu is busy, I will naturally summon you and others." The officials of the pavilion were also polite.
Zuo Xianwang said in his heart, what kind of moth is this Zampu going to do? You are so bitter and cold in Tibet, do you have any other diplomatic contacts? It won't be someone from Datang, otherwise it's deliberately delaying me.
It's just that he is in someone else's territory, and King Zuo Xian can only endure it, wait a few days, wait a few days, people are swords, I am fish and meat, what can I do?
This is what King Zuo Xian thought wrongly, Tubo Zampu is really meeting guests, but it is not from the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are mortal enemies, how can they establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty?
When Qingcheng sent 10,000 dead soldiers to fight into Tubo, the decisive battle under the royal city, Qingcheng old peerless master Li Zheng took the head of Qingcheng and the elders, all the way into the Chinese army, although he died in battle, but also directly killed the Tubo lord Songtsan Gampo and the great minister Lu Dongzan on the spot.
The current lord of Tubo is General Li Xinzhong, who led the army to avenge at that time.
Of course, this Li Xinzhong is a survivor from the Li family in Longxi, the Tang Dynasty, that is, the great-grandson of Li Zheng, an elder in Qingcheng, and it was the conspiracy of this Li Xinzhong's envoy that lured the people of Qingcheng to slaughter the Tubo monarchs, so that he could also take revenge and seize power.
After Li Xinzhong grasped the real power, he quickly recruited a group of die-hard loyalists, and then purged them, and since then Tubo has changed hands, which is not unwise.
But the Tang Dynasty nailed a nail on the edge of Tubo, defending the city with thunder, the guard will be Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, in this way, Tubo is helpless, can only passively defend, meditate, Li Xinzhong decided to take a risk, open up the passage to the west, contact Tianzhu in the west to help, although there are high mountains and moats in the middle, but in order to survive, I can't take care of much.
In the past two years, he has made things happen, and this meeting is made by Tianzhu.
After waiting for five days, King Zuo Xian waited for Li Xinzhong's summons, although he didn't expect that Tubo Zanpu would be a person dressed as a completely Tang Dynasty, but I heard that Songtsan Gampo admired the Tang Dynasty the most, and it was not surprising.
"I don't know why the Western Turkic envoy came to my Tibetan office?"
"King Zuoxian of the Western Turks has seen the lord of Tubo, this is the letter of state from the Khan of my family to Zampu, and the details are all written on it, please take a look."
Li Xinzhong opened the letter of state and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he understood that this was the Western Turks who wanted to form an alliance against the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time ask for advice on how to deal with the thunder.
After thinking for a while, Li Xinzhong said: "I already know the intention of your envoy's coming, and the alliance is feasible, but you and I are too far apart, and I am afraid that this joint operation will be difficult, so this alliance can only be limited to mutual benefit and reciprocity."
As for the restraint method you said about thunderstorming, I, Tibet, have also suffered a big loss, and so far I can only hold on to it and dare not fight easily.
However, after two years of research, we have finally conquered the firing of Datang's sharp weapon 'cement', which can be shared with you. ”
At the beginning, King Zuo Xian thought that he had run away in vain, but he didn't expect the surprise to be behind, and Tubo had a sharp weapon to defend the city to deal with the thunder?
Great, although the Western Turks don't make it much, but the northeast is full of cities, and Goguryeo must make it.
That's right, it's cement, this Li Xinzhong is eloquent in the end, extraordinary background, two years down with many experiments, to overcome the difficulty of burning cement on the plateau, and now all the cities in Tubo have slowly built cement exterior walls, just to prevent the Tang Dynasty from blowing up the wall.
As for cooperating with the Western Turks and other countries to attack the Tang Dynasty, Li Xinzhong gave up after thinking about it, and now the accumulation is not enough, and he can't attack, even if he cooperates with the Western Turks and Goguryeo, and synthesizes a three-way siege of the Tang Dynasty, the chances of winning are not great, and if he can't break the thunder, then he can't fight.
As for the breaking method of thunder, Li Xinzhong has already found a way in Tianzhu, and believes that as long as the big thing is successful, not only can he pull out the nails on the edge of Tubo, but it is not difficult to even counterattack Datang in one fell swoop.
