Chapter 381: Songtsen Gampo's Compromise
As soon as Li Hao said that, his pride suddenly rose sharply, and he shouted loudly: "Chen Song! Lead me! ”
Chen Song hurriedly left with a gust of wind, and it didn't take long for the lion to come over, Li Hao picked up Yi Yi's pot of arrows, flew on the horse with a bow, pulled the reins with his left hand, and kicked the horse's belly with his right leg, the lion skull immediately ran up, Li Hao pulled out a special arrow from the quiver, quickly pulled the bow and shot it, "snapped", the center of an arrow target was pierced, just shot an arrow, Li Hao pulled out the second arrow very quickly, bent the bow again, and there was another sound, the second arrow target was also penetrated, and the lion ran forward, Li Hao kept shooting, and his movements were like flowing water, but the row of arrow targets suffered.
Li Hao shot seven arrows in a row, piercing the center of the seven arrow targets in a row, the soldiers at the shooting range were dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a moment, they applauded and cheered, cheering for Li Hao, riding and archery can reach such a superb level, there are really few people who can do it, Li Hao's superb archery skills alone have convinced them.
Li Haole dismounted, strode in front of Wang Wu and other craftsmen, and said happily: "Everyone has worked hard, the generals, all the craftsmen who participated in the casting of this bow and arrow, the reward is ten times!" ”
"Thank you, General!" When the craftsmen heard this, they rejoiced and gave gifts.
Li Hao handed the bow back to them and said, "You go and help General Ben weigh this iron-backed bow, how many stone power it is, after you go back, General Ben will make a better one to give to Xue Rengui, after all, now that the brigade is out and there is a shortage of materials, it is the limit to be able to do this." ”
All the craftsmen were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect Li Hao to be so greedy, this bow was already so strong, he was not satisfied, and it was even better, and they were professional craftsmen who made bows and crossbows, and who could make bows and crossbows compared to them, in fact, they didn't know that there were a large number of craftsmen hidden in Li Hao's mansion, as long as the materials were complete, let alone making bows, even if they were making crossbows and cannons.
Wang Wu they didn't dare to say anything, holding the iron back bow to weigh the strength, Li Hao also rode back to the tooth tent, not long after, Wang Wu They sent the bow over, and told Li Hao that the tension of the iron back bow is three stones and seven buckets, Li Hao nodded, put the iron back bow down, loosened the string and hung up.
At the same time, in some cities of Tuboluo, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty has already brought the state letter to meet Songtsan Gampo, Li Shimin asked Songtsan Gampo in the letter of state, and suddenly mobilized 100,000 troops to do something, and threatened him, if you want to fight, the Tang Dynasty will accompany you, the Tang Dynasty has never been afraid of anyone in the war, but I hope that Tubo can be more capable than the last time, and hold on for a few more months under the hands of Li Hao, the nemesis of Tubo, and there is a lot of ridicule in the words.
Tubo is not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, and Songtsen Gampo is still Li Shimin's son-in-law, Li Shimin put on such a high posture to send a letter of reprimand to Songtsen Gampo, which is reasonable, but Songtsan Gampo is not clear.
But Songtsen Gampo was very forbearing, and he listened to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty read the national letter with anger, and after retiring from the dynasty, Songtsen Gampo summoned Geerdongzan to discuss the matter.
In the hall, Songzangan's face was full of anger, quite angry, and asked Ge Dongzan: "Prime minister, what are your chances of winning this plan to attack the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Ge Erdong shook his head and sighed: "If you attack hard, you won't even have a chance of winning." ”
"What!" Songtsen Gampo glared and exclaimed when he heard this, and just wanted to question him, since there was no chance of winning, why did he put forward such a battle plan, but he remembered that Geerdongzan had persuaded himself at the beginning, saying that he had almost no chance of winning if he rashly attacked the Tang Dynasty, but at that time, he was angry, and he did not listen to persuasion, and he had to give a battle plan, so Geerdongzan had no choice but to propose this battle plan.
Songtsen Gampo gradually calmed down, and said a little discouraged: "Datang...... Is it really that strong? ”
"Zamp." Ge Dongzan said slowly, "The strong and prosperous Tang Dynasty is only one of them, and Li Hao's son leading the army is the second, because marrying Princess Gaoyang, I have suffered a huge loss in Tibet, and this is the third, so now we should recuperate and recuperate, and then act, and it is not appropriate to rashly attack the Tang Dynasty." ”
Songtsen Gampo recalled his words, frowned and asked, "That Li Hao...... Is it really that powerful? ”
Ge Erdongzan's face was solemn, and he said: "The minister has not seen Li Hao's military talent, but the minister and Li Hao have competed in strategy and wisdom, in this regard, the minister has never met an opponent, but lost to him, Li Hao...... He's a genius. ”
Songtsen Gampo was secretly shocked when he heard this, he knew Geerdongzan too well, the first wise man in Tibet, how high his vision was, no one had ever been able to enter his eyes, but now Geerdongzan made such a high evaluation of Li Hao, it is conceivable how powerful this Li Hao should be, Songtsen Gampo said unwillingly: "He is only in his early twenties, how can he be so powerful?" ”
"Strange is here." Ge Erdong exclaimed, "This son is only in his early twenties, the depth of the city, the high level of resourcefulness, there are few enemies, almost evil. ”
Songtsen Gampo frowned and said angrily: "Could it be that with him, we can't move the Tang Dynasty?" That Zampu can't take revenge in his life! ”
The revenge that Songtsen Gampo said naturally refers to the revenge of the cuckold, but Geerdongzan understood it as the revenge of the defeat of the army, so he didn't think much about it, and said: "Zampu doesn't have to be anxious, although Li Hao's son is now in full swing, but the Han people have a good saying, things must be reversed, the water in the Tang Dynasty is very deep, Li Hao is too young after all, such a young person, climbing so high in the Tang Dynasty, is in response to the sentence: The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." The best way to deal with the Tang people is to let them fight in the nest. ”
"Yes!" Songtsen Gampo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Tang people like to compete for fame and fortune, and they like infighting the most, but they ......."
Songtsan Gampo suddenly frowned again and said, "If Li Hao relies on his own ability to overwhelm the ministers, what should he do?" ”
Ge Erdong praised: "Then he will be finished, what a great man the Tang Emperor is, how can he allow a kid to climb so high, he will naturally be suppressed, in case the high merit shocks the master, besides, even if Li Hao can climb all the way with the wind and water, the minister has already thought about the future." ”
Songtsen Gampo hurriedly asked: "What did the minister think about?" ”
Ge Erdong praised: "Zanpu, we can recuperate for a few years, we can't act recklessly in these years, and at the same time secretly send envoys to the Western Turks, East Tuguhun, Huifu, Xue Yantuo, for these countries, or coercion, or inducement, or marriage, let them cooperate with me Tubo, find the right time, and attack the Tang Dynasty together, even if Li Hao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to return to the sky." ”
Songtsen Gampo said depressedly: "In this way, Benzanpu can only endure this breath for the time being, and Xu Tu will develop first?" ”
"Exactly." Geerdonzan made a very formal salute, hoping that Songtsen Gampo would listen to him this time.
Songtsen Gampo frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Okay, just listen to the words of the prime minister, don't do it for the time being, and wait for the opportunity." ”
When he said this, Songtsen Gampo was very humiliated in his heart, as the lord of Tibet, he was cuckolded by the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he still had to choose to endure for the time being, the disparity in national strength is only one of the aspects, and the most important thing is that Li Hao, the Tubo nemesis, is because of Li Hao, he has to endure such humiliation.
At this time, Ge Erdonzan suddenly said: "Zanpu, after sending the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the minister asked for a thorough investigation of the group of Tang people brought by Queen Jiamusa, and the minister suspected that the Tang Emperor had planted secret agents in that group of people, so this time our plan of action was known by the Tang Emperor in advance." ”
Songtsen Gampo's eyes widened sharply when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Check, even if you can't find out, you will kill all those Tang people!" Ben Zampu hates the Tang people the most! ”
Geerdonzan was stunned for a while when he heard this, he felt that Songtsen Gampo had been strange recently, and suddenly he had extreme hatred for the Tang people, he was not like this before, something must have happened, but he didn't dare to speculate, if Songtsen Gampo didn't want people to know, he definitely couldn't ask more, this was taboo.
Ge Erdongzan could only say: "The group of craftsmen brought by the Tang Dynasty is helpful to the development of my national strength in Tibet, and the minister is unwilling to kill indiscriminately, Zampu can rest assured, the minister will try his best to find out the secret agent." ”
Songtsen Gampo also realized that he had lost his temper, nodded and hummed softly, without saying anything more.
Ge Erdong praised: "If there is nothing else to do in Zampu, the minister will retire first." ”
"Let's go down." Songtsen Gampo nodded.
Ge Erdonzan withdrew from the main hall, and Songtsan Gampo suddenly turned hideous, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Datang! Datang! I must destroy Datang! Kill Li Shimin...... And that Li Hao! ”
Early the next morning, Songtsen Gampo met the Tang envoy again, at this moment he was smiling, the wind was light, and he did not see yesterday's anger and hideousness, it turned out that Songtsen Gampo was also a good actor, and his acting skills were not weaker than Li Shimin's, Songtsen Gampo explained to the Tang envoy that their army was mobilized, in fact, it was not to fight, but for the military division to drill and practice, I didn't expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding, he had already ordered the transfer of troops back, so that the Tang Emperor should not worry......
The envoy of the Tang Dynasty felt that his IQ had been insulted, and there was no one who could talk nonsense about this realm when he opened his eyes, but the envoy of the Tang Dynasty didn't have much to say, since Songtsan Gampo had transferred troops back, what else could he say, the goal was achieved, and he went home.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Hao and the army lit a bonfire in the camp to hold a barbecue party, celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve, in the cold night breeze, Li Hao sat in front of the campfire, holding a guitar and singing many homesick songs, he was really homesick, he was often away from home for the New Year in previous years, but he never had this feeling. Guy now has five wives and a son, Xiao Li Tu is very fun, he has to tease that little guy every day for a while to feel at ease, but since he left home now, it has been three or four months, and now he can't go back for the New Year, can he miss home.
Early the next morning, Li Hao was giving red envelopes to the soldiers in the army, each red envelope was a penny, which meant that the New Year, there should be joy, and he didn't care how much money he had.
Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and waved his hand: "Explore again!" ”
"Yes!" The scout also excitedly took the order and left.
Li Hao was so excited, the Tubo army retreated, and he could finally go home, alas, he got such a good news on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a good omen, an absolutely good omen, so Li Hao ordered that another bonfire party be held tonight, the meat can be eaten casually, the song can be sung, the dance can be danced casually, and the wine ...... Do not drink.
