Chapter 476: Plan Ahead
Xia Hongsheng looked at You Ji with some surprise and asked, "Let's not talk about this first, how do you know that this situation will occur when outsiders go to Tubo?" Have you ever been to Tibet? β
"The concubine has never been to Tibet, but she has heard many people say it. Regardless of whether it is the Han people in the land of Bashu, or the people of Tuyuhun, or the people who are as far away as Tianzhu, they have all said this. Yuhime shook her head and said.
Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders: "This situation is called altitude sickness, the location of Tubo is very high, and people from other places will not be used to it when they suddenly come to such a high place." Actually, there is nothing wrong with that, just stop when you first feel uncomfortable, stay where you are for seven or eight days, and then the symptoms will disappear, and then you will continue to walk, and when you feel uncomfortable again, you will stop and stay for another seven or eight days. In this way, you will be able to move freely like the Tibetan people. β
"Childe knows this?!" You Ji looked at Xia Hongsheng even more unexpectedly.
Xia Hongsheng smiled and said very proudly: "Is there anything in this world that this son doesn't know?" β
Yuhime's eyes rolled, and she suddenly grinned, "Oh? Does the boy know that the concubine woke up earlier than the son that morning? β
"Ahem...... "Ahem" Xia Hongsheng took a breath and coughed, but saw Youji let out a fox-like sly laugh, got up and left.
There was a sentence wafting in the smoke breeze blowing in his face: "If the son goes out again, he must remember to bring back something interesting for the concubine." Concubine, if you are too idle, you will be very good at causing trouble! β
The sound followed the southerly wind of the near evening. Together with the figure inside the golden sunset, it dissipated and drifted away. Only Xia Hongsheng was left sitting there with a red face. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After sitting at the door for a while, and when his mind calmed down, Xia Hongsheng got up and went back to the courtyard.
Where did the Tubo people eat the ordinary meals at Xia Hongsheng's house, and they were already waiting anxiously at the moment, and kept looking at the table. It's just that Xia Hongsheng hasn't arrived yet, and others can't eat first.
"Sit down and eat, you're welcome." Xia Hongsheng said to everyone.
Then everyone sat down, and the Tibetan man also sat down. His eyes were fixed on the food on the tableβthe aroma had tickled his appetite for a long time.
After a meal, the Tibetan Han ate a lot of food, and almost half of the meals on the table went into his five internal organs temple.
"This warrior, I don't know if the food is still satisfied? If it's not enough, just say it. Xia Hongsheng said to the Tibetan man.
"Master Hou calls me Basang." The Tibetan man said: "Basang has never eaten such a delicious taste, thank you Houye!" β
Xia Hongsheng nodded, and asked again: "Basang, I see that you will leave Tubo for such a long time and will not go to your hometown, there must be something unspeakable. I don't ask much. It's still the same sentence during the day, if you have nowhere to stay. But stay with me. I'd better befriend heroes, if you're in trouble. I might be able to help you with that. β
Basang hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to Hou Ye, I killed someone in my hometown and couldn't stay, so I ran away." β
Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Basang continue: "Ten years ago, I joined the army, eager to establish a meritorious career and help Zampu unify Yangtong and Subi. Later, the general who led the army slaughtered the village, and I was not used to it, but my position was low, and I could not open my mouth to dissuade him. On that day, we attacked Yangtong, passing through my village, but he ordered the slaughter of my village because he wanted to snatch the woman. My family was all killed. In a fit of rage, I rushed into the tent and killed him. Tubo couldn't stay any longer, so he left alone and came to Datang. β
"Good man!" As soon as the words fell, Yi Qing slapped the table and shouted.
"You have been out of the army for ten years, and you are fighting today, but why are you so ruthless like a battle in the army?" Xia Hongsheng asked.
Basang scratched his head and said, "I don't know that this has become the case since that killing. Once you start to do it, it's often hard to suppress. β
After the meal, after saying some more words, Xia Hongsheng ordered someone to take him down to rest.
Xia Hongsheng himself went back to the house early and lay down, but he thought in his heart, leaving this Tubo man and letting him teach the Tubo customs and language to those spies in the spy camp. At this time in history, it was the time when Songtsen Gampo became the Tibetan Zampu. Songtsen Gampo's father, Langri Songtsen, was poisoned, and at the same time, the ministers and his mother's clans rebelled, and several places were occupied by the rebels. Not only that, the Yangtong tribe in the west took advantage of the situation to invade, and the old Subi nobles in the north of the Yarlung Zangbo River also tried to "restore the country", and these forces marched to Tubo one after another. It was the most difficult time for Tibet. If it weren't for the imminent outbreak of war on this side of the Turks, now would be the best time to defeat Tibet. It is a pity that because the Turkic threat has not been eliminated, relations with other countries other than the Turks cannot deteriorate at present.
I remember that Songtsen Gampo finally got the business, stabilized the situation, and took advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks and had no time to take care of the situation on the plateau, and annexed Yangtong and Subi, and thus grew stronger. Although at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was at a disadvantage and suffered several losses under the hands of the Tang Dynasty, so he later sought peace and relatives, and only then did Princess Wencheng enter Tibet. Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet brought much-needed techniques and institutions to Tibet, making it even more powerful and expanding its territory, eventually becoming the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty in the southwest.
Back then, he hated and sighed Zhaojun, and his jade appearance was stained with dust. Bian Sai was not insulted by the concubine, what did the court worship the heroes? Outside the Chaoyun Crane Tianshan, the remnant sun ape is sad and black waterfront, ten miles of east wind green mound road, and the falling flowers are like the spring of the Han Palace. Harmony, the most helpless and saddest political means, I hope it doesn't appear again!
Since Tubo took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's attack on the Turks to annex Yangtong and Subi, it simply stirred up the situation on the plateau even more chaotic. Let them fight to their heart's content, regardless of victory or defeat, and fight endlessly. Just like this morning's contest between Qi Yong and Basang, no one can help the other, and they are stalemate with each other and consume themselves.
What is the purpose of harmony? It's about building a peaceful relationship. And what is the purpose of a peaceful relationship? It's not to prevent the other party from moving troops to him, and to be a minister with peace of mind.
Tibet, Yangtong and Subi are all small countries. And Datang is a big country. Use Datang's intervention and influence on them, secretly support the weak, suppress the strong, and let them attack each other, where is the extra thought and energy to block Datang? And Datang can also use war money instead!
So, the spy battalion, it's time to send people to that plateau.
Plan ahead! (To be continued.) )
