Chapter 853: Seducing the Tibetan Nobles (I)
"Tianzhu, or Gupta Dynasty!" Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and said lightly.
Of course, what Li Chengqian said about the Gupta Dynasty is actually inaccurate, and the Gupta Dynasty at this time is actually what is called the Later Gupta Dynasty in modern times, and the ruler is a guy called King Jieri. But whatever, people like to call themselves the Gupta Dynasty, so it's called, even if it's called the Three Dynasty and Li Chengqian, what does it have to do with it, it's just a name.
However, Li Chengqian didn't care, it didn't mean that Songtsan Gampo didn't care, and Songtsan in silence asked tentatively for a long time: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean to attack Tianzhu in Tibet?" ”
"Yes, that's what it means." Li Chengqian nodded.
"Why?"
"I heard that they have a lot of Buddhist scriptures there, but they are self-cherished, and I need to send someone from the Tang Dynasty to get them." Li Chengqian looked at the outside of the hall and said in a rather depressed tone.
"Your Highness means to go to Tianzhu to snatch the Buddhist scriptures?" Songtsen Gampo had a feeling of crying and laughing, could it be that he was the lord of Tubo, and he was not as important as some Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu?
"I think if Tianzhu becomes the territory of the Tang Dynasty, then it doesn't matter if the Buddhist scriptures are placed there. Songtsam, what do you think? Li Chengqian retracted his gaze and looked at Songtsen Gampo.
"Huh?!" Songtsan Gampo was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded his mother in his heart, the fart Buddhist scriptures, I don't think about other people's land.
"How, Songtsen, what about your choice? To go or not to go? At the end of the conversation, Li Chengqian finally tried to see the dagger and showed his fangs. Either go to Tianzhu to fight for Datang, or die, there is no second choice.
Of course, to put it more clearly, Li Chengqian is ready to use Tubo as cannon fodder, and has no other purpose.
Songtsen Gampo also understood this at this time, but he also knew that he had no choice, and Li Chengqian was willing to talk to himself like this because he still had the value of use, and if he chose not to go, he would lose the value of use, and the consequences would be unknown to him.
"Okay, I promise!" Hard-headed, Songtsen Gampo made a choice that was more beneficial to himself.
"Very good, then you can write a letter, the 35,000 Tibetan troops left in Songzhou City will be merged into the Western Regions Army, and I will arrange for Geer Dongzan to lead this army." Li Chengqian didn't give Songtsen Gampo any time to repent, and when he agreed, he immediately asked people to move out of the study.
Seeing that Songtsan Gampo signed the letter of appointment and the order to transfer troops with all kinds of reluctance, Li Chengqian smiled with satisfaction: "Songzan, let's live in Chang'an for a while, and take a good look at the customs of the Tang Dynasty, which is very difficult to see in Tubo. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Songtsen Gampo did not ask Li Chengqian to release him immediately, he knew that it was impossible.
As a result, the famous Songtsen Gampo in history lived in the post house of Honglu Temple, and the palace maids and guards around him were all the people he brought out from Tubo, and Li Chengqian did not put anyone in it.
And in the afternoon of the same day, the welcome building in the East Market was blocked again, and a group of guys dressed in alien costumes were respectfully introduced into the box on the second floor by the young men.
"Sit down, don't be restrained!" Li Chengqian, who had finished talking with Songtsen Gampo, was sitting on the main seat at this time, and after glancing at Li Ke, he waved his hand to signal a group of Tibetan nobles who had come in to take a seat.
"The police are in the Tang Dynasty, what are your orders to call us here?" The old guy was the first to speak.
"It's the first time you've come to my Tang Dynasty, and my imperial brother plans to take advantage of the friendship of the landlord and entertain you." Li Ke smiled and took Shang Nang's words.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wu, I don't know where my country's Zampu is now? Is it still safe? A voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention to it.
"You're Ger Donzan, aren't you?" Li Chengqian asked slowly.
"Exactly!" Geer Dongzan nodded and said, Anyway, it has fallen to this step of the field, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and Geer Dongzan has nothing to hide.
"What's your Tang name?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Foreign minister...... Lu Dongzan! Geer Dongzan glanced up at Li Chengqian with some surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"You must recognize your Zamp's handwriting, right? Let's take a look at this. Li Chengqian motioned to his twin brothers beside him, and asked them to take out the appointment letter written by Songtsen Gampo and hand it over to Lu Dongzan.
"This, this is ......" Lu Dongzan looked at the appointment of him as the "Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Foreign Legion - Tubo Legion", and the whole person was stupid.
There are so many people here, those who are more qualified than him, and those who are more powerful than him, how can it be his turn to command the remaining 35,000 people on the Songzhou side?
And since he was brought to Datang, Lu Dongzan never thought that he would be able to go back alive, and now that he has this thing, it means that he will soon be free and can gallop in the desert again. It's just that...... What is the Western Regions Legion? Who are Yu Chi Baolin and Wang Xuance? Why should more than 30,000 people be controlled by them?
"See?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
"Yes, understood." Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and pressed all his doubts to the bottom of his heart. He knew that the Tang prince in front of him would definitely tell him what these were about, so he was not in a hurry to ask his own questions.
However, Lu Dongzan is not in a hurry does not mean that others are not in a hurry, and the rest of the guys who didn't see what was written on the paper stretched their necks one by one, and looked at it with their heads probed, even if they couldn't see what was written on the paper, they planned to see something from the faces of Li Chengqian and Lu Dongzan.
"Everyone, I don't know what you think of the comparison between Datang and Tubo?" Waving his hand to signal Lu Dongzan to retreat first, Li Chengqian glanced at the Tubo nobles in the box.
"The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is far superior to that of Tubo......" Everyone who didn't know what was going on spoke one after another, admiring half-truths and half-truths.
"So how about this palace exchange the land with you?" Waiting for a group of Tubo fans to slowly close their mouths, Li Chengqian asked for the second time.
Well? All the Tibetans frowned, looking at each other and not knowing how to answer.
What is Land Exchange? Could it be that the land of the Tang Dynasty was exchanged for the land of Tibet? But what about after the change? Can I still be as powerful as I used to be?
"What are you hesitating about? One-to-one replacement, how much land you own in Tubo, how much land on the plains will be exchanged for you by the Tang Dynasty, compared with before, this is a great benefit! Li Ke interjected at the right time and said what Li Chengqian had told him in advance.
