Qiu Liu brought water, wine and pastries to several people, and the group began to chat while eating.

According to Qiu Liu, it is not difficult to collect intelligence in Tibet, most of the people in Tibet are straight, brave and brave, but not wise, to put it in layman's terms, that is, the mind is simple and the limbs are developed, and the biggest problem is that it is difficult to collect information and send it out.

"These Tibetan people, except for the nobles and lords, most of the others are very hard, here the capital is poor, the crops are single, the harvest is also poor, many things have to be purchased or exchanged from foreign countries, not to mention anything else, the salt here is black salt, bitter and astringent, very difficult to swallow, and those Tubo people, as long as a few taels of mare's milk wine are in the stomach, they will immediately call you brothers, and they are not very strict in terms of vigilance, and it is not difficult to get information." Qiu Liu whispered.

Yu Chi Baoqing said curiously: "That's good, this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Qiu Men said with a wry smile: "It's good, but it's very stuffy, they are pursuing a policy of tightening the outside and loosening the inside, and the search in and out of the customs is extremely strict, not easy to pass, and finally learned the miniature carving technique, I thought that in this way, the transmission of information will be easy, but I didn't expect the two countries to exchange troops, Tubo directly blocked the border, there is no information but can not send it, the white eyes look at the information that can be exchanged for credit in vain, the heart is really not a taste." ”

Chang'an to Tubo, the road is far away, a lot of love cloth is sent to Li Er's hands, and it is about to become an old yellow calendar, plus a blockade border pass, for a group of fine workers, it can be said that they are tied hand and foot, and it is difficult to make a difference, which is also their most depressed place.

"It's tight on the outside and loose on the inside." Wei Chi Baoqing nodded and said: "When they were at the border, they patrolled very closely, and there were many open posts and secret posts, if we didn't have clairvoyance to help, it wouldn't have been so smooth, but when we arrived at the territory." The guard was much looser, and when we entered the city, we didn't even ask. ”

Liu Yuan tapped on the case and said: "It can't go on like this, the court has spent a lot of money, and there is no achievement at all, I am afraid that it will be criticized, and if you don't make meritorious contributions, you will have no chance to be promoted. Set up a station for each distance, each person is responsible for sending to the next station, and then find a way to send it back to Datang, although Tubo said that the border is blocked, but there are more than 20 states at the junction of Tubo and Datang. The border is long, and it is man-made. There's always a way to get it out. ”

"Fight. It may not be successful, but if you don't fight, you are doomed to failure. ”

Qiu Liu nodded, and said with a happy and sincere face: "What the general said is very true, the small one must find a way to open up the news channel from Tubo to Datang." ”

"Alright. How many of you are here? Liu Yuan suddenly said straight to the point.

"Not much, there are about twenty people like me, and I can organize a group of three hundred dead soldiers."

Only 300 people. It's really useless, the Tubo people are all soldiers, and 300 people are not enough for others to stuff their teeth, no wonder the military department invests a lot of manpower and material resources in Tubo every year, but it has achieved little success, and there are no deeds to brag about, and it can even be described as [inaction].

Wei Chi Baoqing asked with some dissatisfaction: "This time the Tubo raided the Tang Dynasty, the three camps were captured, and the city of Songzhou fell, such a big thing, you didn't hear any news beforehand?" ”

"Captain Chi" Qiu Liu said a little wronged: "We can't really blame us for this matter, Datang and Tufan are pro, this matter is known to the whole people in both countries, Songtsan Gampo uses the excuse of civil strife and just peace, and the road is not very safe, and then the excuse shows the military strength of Tubo, and summons elite generals, which is reasonable and not noticeable, plus Tubo Dalun and Xiao Pu have an agreement to send Tubo's outstanding children to study in the Tang Dynasty, so even if they send troops, we also think it is reasonable. Zanpo and other important figures, even the head of a thousand households in the army, did not know their arrangements, and they were only told at the last moment, so they could not blame their subordinates for this matter. ”

"Okay, okay" Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "This matter is over, and it is not beneficial to talk about it again, and now it is still our task that is important." ”

"Yes, General."

"Yes, general" When the two saw Liu Yuan's words, they didn't dare to make another time, and agreed together.

"Where is the Tibetan princess Zanmong Saimaga, have you received any information?" Liu Yuan asked in a deep voice.

Qiu Liu hurriedly responded: "I just received information from Luo Qi City, the Tubo princess is under house arrest in the Luosang Temple west of Luo Qi City. ”

Liu Yuan nodded, this information is consistent with what the two people said, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Zanmeng Saimaga being locked up in that Luosang Temple, what I have to do now is to rush to Luoqi City in front of the blood sacrifice, rescue their mother and son, for the Tang Dynasty, and save a face for themselves, but for themselves, it means a little more, their own flesh and blood, but Qiu Liu's words immediately poured a plate of cold water on Liu Yuan's head: "General, I'm afraid this trip is not easy." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Intelligence said, Luosang Temple is a very important temple in Tubo, won the trust of the Tibetan magnates, incense all the year round, worship a lot, there are special temple soldiers in the temple, called apologetic warriors, it is said that there are 100 people, in addition, there are also a few calves so strong dogs, fierce and abnormal, I heard that the most mysterious is that there is a mastiff dog in order to protect the master, has been one enemy three, the three wild bite to death, in addition, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo also his personal guard surrounded the Luosang Temple, want to save people, it is difficult to ascend to the sky." Qiu Liu said helplessly.

Listening to Qiu Liuyi's words, Yu Chi Baoqing and the wild wolf were a little disappointed when they heard it, just saving people seemed like an impossible task, not to mention that after saving people, they also needed to escape thousands of miles in the ice and snow without foreign aid.

Is this possible?

Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is no endless road, in fact, we have to be happy." ”

"Rejoice? For what? Qiu Liu said with some surprise.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "If Songtsen Gampo locks Tsangmeng Saimaga in the palace of Tibet, we have a lower chance of saving people, and in general, there is always a glimmer of life for us." ”

"General, how many people have you brought?" Qiu Liu asked cautiously.

"Not much, not too much," Liu Yuan said confidently: "But it's enough to save someone." ”

Qiu Liu was also infected by Liu Yuan's self-confidence, nodded and said, "Yes, general, if there is anything you need help with, you just have to open your mouth." ”

"If you save someone and can't run away, it's just a waste of toss." Liu Yuan frowned and said: "Luo some cities to Datang, thousands of miles away, in the short term, Datang does not have the ability to attack Tubo, that is to say, in the short term, the support we can get is extremely limited, now our biggest advantage is that the Tubo people do not know that we are coming, but once we save Zanmeng Saimaga, our traces will be exposed, from dark to light, very dangerous, so, we must think of a foolproof strategy." ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly became heavy, the lonely army was deep, the personnel were limited, there was no foreign aid, and the battle line was too long, still in the harsh environment of ice and snow, and it was possible to bring women and children, which was too difficult.

In the middle of the sound, Wei Chi Baoqing said depressedly: "General, this is too difficult, unless, Tubo is in civil strife again, and we are taken care of flawlessly, otherwise, unless we can fly, we can only become someone else's prisoner." ”

"This is almost impossible" Qiu Liu shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The last time there was civil strife in Tibet, Songtsen Gampo took the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and those reactionary forces can be said to be wiped out, and the rest are all forces that support him, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as ironclad, and Songtsen Gampo's energy and means have also deterred those who have two hearts, and no one dares to act rashly and provoke civil strife in Tubo again, unless Zhang Jiao is reborn." ”

Zhang Jiao is the great sage of the Three Kingdoms, a sentence [Cangtian is dead, Huang Tian should stand], triggered the Yellow Turban Rebellion, famous in history, his plan, his ambition, his demagogic means, can be said to provide an example for those who come after him, so that the most impressive, is his demagogic means, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but led hundreds of dying people to resist, and Zhang Jiao at every turn tens of thousands of people, weapons and equipment, compared with the size of the standard army, it is simply pediatrics.

Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Zhang Jiao"

As soon as Qiu Liu's words came out, everyone was silent again, and Tubo and Songtsen Gampo were like two mountains that could not be crossed, they could only look up and not blaspheme.

"Qiu Liu," Liu Yuan suddenly shouted.

"The little one is in"

"There are special things in Tibet, for example, political enemies with deep contradictions, talented people with no ambitions, and so on." Obviously, Liu Yuan wants to sow discord and gain benefits from it.

"No" Qiu Liu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Songtsan Gampo is very charming in doing things, and he handles personnel very well, and Tubo is not like the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is a lord system, those generals are all fighting with their own soldiers privately, and the rewards for meritorious deeds are all based on military merits, even if there are contradictions, and they are also coordinated on the spot, if they can't coordinate, they will send people to compete, that is, there are political enemies and hidden dangers, and they were also erased in the last purge, at least we can't find any worthy of rebellion, or rather, there is the possibility of rebellion." ”

Liu Yuan thought for a while, and then asked: "Songtsan Gampo's Lao Tzu Nangri Zan, was poisoned to death, and it was her wife's powerful people who started it. ”

Songtsen Gampo has been cultivated as a successor by his father Nangri Lunzan since he was a child, and there is no such thing as seizing the throne, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of hatred between husband and wife who can do this kind of poisonous hand.

"In fact, this matter is not hidden, the military department has already found out, it is the hand of Songtsen Gampo's mother Cai Bang's Zhuma Tuoga, although there are many contradictions, but the main contradiction is related to the dispute between this religion and Buddhism."

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up: The dispute between this Buddha? Hey, interesting, I like it. (To be continued......)
