It is impossible to say that Lu Dongzan is not worried about the Tang army, the shadow of the famous tree, even on the plateau, you can hear the story of a super empire rumored by merchants from the Western Regions, this big empire is called the Tang Empire, I heard that he can be strong enough to make the Eastern Turks annihilated, the Western Turks submit, and the two empires that once pressed on the heads of the Han people in the Central Plains were all cleaned up by the Tang Dynasty, and the current Tang Dynasty can be said to be a well-deserved first power, and it is not like saying that it is strong.

Just like this battle, the Tang Dynasty's own army only has 40,000 people, but it can let the Western Regions send 60,000 troops, and let the Western Turks send 30,000 troops to assist in the battle, and the number is easily 100,000, forcing Tuyuhun to fight all over the country, making every family ruined, if there is no Tubo army to help, Lu Dongzan has reason to believe that Tuyuhun is now dead, and the stupid Fuyun Khan next to him should also be captured by the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Dongzan's original idea was to rely on elite soldiers to destroy Tuyuhun who was heavily damaged by the Tang Dynasty, and then the national army went north, wiped out the 40,000 Tang army, forcibly occupied the territory of Tuyuhun, mobilized the army to occupy this land, and fought against the Tang army.

I have to say that fighting from top to bottom and fighting from bottom to top is not the same difficulty, so Lu Dongzan is quite fearless, and feels that it is not very difficult to deal with the Tang Dynasty, although they can't destroy them, but they don't want to defeat the Tubo Empire, if the Tubo Empire is not too poor, it can completely support a big war.

Come to think of it. Lu Dongzan's teeth itched with hatred, and those unreasonable and stupid priests in the country would rather burn the delicious and precious meat and wine and sacrifice them to the gods that could not be seen or touched, rather than let the Tibetan people who were waiting to be fed almost starve to death.

Even Zamp had no way to confront them head-on, although the people were starving. But he has always believed in those gods devoutly. Lu Dongzan, who was born in a big family, understood since he was a child that believing in gods was just an excuse, and in his family's territory, everyone understood that eating a full stomach was the real truth. When you're dying of hunger. The gods will not come to your rescue.

But the pressure at home is too great. It is almost impossible for him to move an inch, he can only fight for space outside, and it is no longer feasible at home. grabbed the land of Tuyuhun, and also asked Songtsan Gampo to take it as his fiefdom in a bright way, so that those hungry people could eat, they would not die of hunger, so that they could expand the army and fight against the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Empire, who were rumored to be powerful and desperate, should be able to eat their stomachs.

This confrontation with the Tang Empire made Lu Dongzan know the gap between the Tubo and the Tang Empire, the reason why he won before was because the thousand-man team was not the Tang army at all, but the Turkic soldiers, the elite cavalry of Tubo defeated the Turkic cavalry, which did not make him feel strange, and then the three thousand cavalry lost to the powerful Tang cavalry, which made him feel normal, but in this way, it seemed that it was not so easy to implement his plan.

Lu Dongzan knows that his opponent is not simple, the first time is a temptation, the second time is a head-to-head confrontation, this opponent is at least very cautious, the reason why the Tang army is strong, the reason why it can defeat the Eastern and Western Turks, I think it is also inseparable from his general's talent, so Lu Dongzan feels that his plan needs to be changed somewhat, and he can't face to face with the Tang army, otherwise these 30,000 troops are estimated to not be able to support the arrival of the army.

However, even if the army arrives, with a full 100,000 troops, will it really launch a head-on confrontation with Datang? If that's the case, even if the 40,000 Tang troops are defeated, then the price paid will definitely not be less, and it will definitely lead to the bloody revenge of the Tang army, the territory of the Tang Empire is very vast, and it is said that the population is also very large, so the number of troops will not be small, and when it attacks the Turks, it will be 100,000 troops, if the Tang Dynasty also sends 100,000 troops at that time, will Tubo have the confidence to confront the Tang Dynasty?

The Tang Dynasty has a large population and can afford to fight this battle, but Tubo is different, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is stronger than that of the Tubo army, and even the most elite regiments can not compete with the Tang army head-on and fail, replaced by those ordinary armies, it is conceivable that the 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty will fight over, it will definitely be a disaster, if at that time the armies of the Western Regions and the Western Turkic army will be called to attack together, Tubo will not see the hope of victory.

These 100,000 troops are definitely the lifeblood of Tubo, in case they are defeated, coupled with the constraints of those people in the country, it is estimated that they will not be able to turn over, Songtsen Gampo Zampu is estimated to be hollowed out, Tubo really has no hope, this consequence is unbearable, the family is wiped out, Tubo loses the hope of rising, this is Lu Dongzan can not afford, this is not a plateau, the Tang army and the Tubo army are on the same terrain, the Tubo army does not have any advantages.

Therefore, if you want to avoid the occurrence of these chain reactions, there is only one way, Lu Dongzan suddenly thought of a way, only this way, can help Tubo out of the predicament, not only do not have to take responsibility, if you wait for a few years, when the Tang Dynasty shows its decline, it is not impossible to eliminate the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, I heard that the mutual trade of the Tang Dynasty has brought huge wealth to the Western Turks, and has also brought great changes to the countries of the Western Regions.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Dongzan made up his mind, looked at Fu Yun Khan and his ministers and generals beside him, and showed a sneer......

Li Shiji was in the barracks and Li Daozong was carefully discussing the situation of the Tibetan army they encountered, Li Daozong, as a direct general with whom he was directly engaged, had the most right to speak, a group of generals gathered together, listening to Li Daozong talk about the strength of the Tibetan army: "The combat effectiveness of this army is quite strong, and it is not necessary to die in battle, many soldiers were killed by the death-defying blow of the Tibetan soldiers, and their fighting instincts are quite strong." It feels like a beast of prey.

The force of the Tibetan general who was killed by me is very strong, and I feel that even General Su Lie is nothing more than that, the reason why I can behead him is thanks to the cavalry of the Turkic cavalry hit him in the back of the heart, so that he slowed down his movements, I can cut off his head with a sword, the five military university students besieged him before and couldn't defeat him, but he killed one and injured four, I don't know what you think, anyway, I can't retreat under the siege of five military university students.

So I thought. Tibet grows in the high mountains. The climate is bitterly cold, and under the poor mountains and bad waters, it is not surprising that the people there are fierce, and it is not surprising that they are rich in elite soldiers. If you want to talk about my army of the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that the Qin soldiers of Longxi and the Yan soldiers of Saibei can compete with them. The army that went out with us was the Longxi soldiers mobilized from Guanzhong, so the combat effectiveness was strong, and Rao was so. It took almost half of the price to defeat these 3,000 Tibetan soldiers, so its combat effectiveness can be imagined, and there are more than 14,000 Tibetan soldiers on the opposite side, and if we want to destroy them, we need to pay a price that is not small. ”

The generals' faces were solemn, Li Shiji's brows were tightly locked, and at this moment, the voice of Li Shiji's own soldiers came from outside the tent: "Dashuai, someone sent a letter outside the camp gate, saying that he wanted Dashuai to watch it in person, and look at his outfit, it should be a Tubo person!" ”

Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Bring him in!" ”

Li Daozong frowned and said: "Dashuai, at this moment, the Tubo people are coming, isn't there some conspiracy?" The commander must not let his guard down. ”

Li Shiji nodded and said: "This handsome person wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Tubo person, and the generals can rest assured to see what the purpose of this Tubo person is!" ”

The generals said in unison: "No! ”

After a while, two guards with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked in, and he looked like this, which made Li Shiji feel disgusted when he saw it, so he said, "You are the one who came to deliver the letter?" ”

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Tibetan man smiled and performed a standard Han family etiquette and said, "Exactly! Dare to ask the general, is he the commander of the Tang army? ”

Li Shiji said curiously: "This commander is Li Shiji, the commander of the Tang Dynasty, but it's you, you can still speak Chinese?" Will also Han family etiquette? Aren't you from Tibet? ”

The Tibetan man smiled: "The handsome man laughed, he is naturally a Tubo person, but he has admired the Han culture since he was a child, and he often learns it, you see that my body is naturally not a soldier, in a bitter cold place like Tubo, if you can't be a soldier, you are almost a waste person, if you can't have some strengths, you will be directly sacrificed as a sacrifice, so you can work hard to learn Chinese and Han etiquette, so you can live until now!" ”

And Li Daliang, the head of the Mo Dao marching army, frowned and said, "What kind of rules are that?" You can live if you are born, you can still farm if you can't be a soldier, you can still work if you can't plant land, you can still do sanitation if you can't do a job, everyone is a baby, how can you directly use it as a sacrifice to sacrifice? Is there still a living sacrifice in Tibet? I really don't know how to count! It's no wonder that he will go against Datang! Don't say anything, what are you doing here?! ”

The Tubo man smiled helplessly and said: "The general has lived in the Tang Dynasty since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't know the bitter cold of Tubo, and how those priests have the power to pour Tubo, even Zampu can't fight against it, let alone us people?" Being alive is a kind of happiness, where is the luxury of anything else? The Tang Dynasty is abundant, everyone has food to eat, can survive, in the next is envious, but Tubo is absolutely unable to do, in the next place, it is on the order of the Lord General Lu Dongzan, come to explain the cause and effect of this matter. ”

Li Shiji frowned and said, "Lu Dongzan? Well, what do you have to say? ”

The Tubo man said: "The reason why I sent troops to aid Tuyuhun this time is not because of Zampu's intentions, but because the Tuyuhun people directly took one-third of the land and the people as a reward, and bought off those priests, and the priests said that this is the will of the gods, and asked us to obey the guidance of the gods and send troops to assist Tuyuhun. ”

Li Shiji thought about it for a while, if this is indeed true, Tubo is really similar to the original Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Shandong Shi clan is strong, and the Tang Dynasty court has to compromise, but now it is much better, the Shandong Shi clan is completely wiped out, and the Tang Dynasty has completely gotten rid of the constraints, and now the Tubo people are also talking about these things, what is the intention? Want to come and confess?

Li Shiji suddenly guessed the true intention of the Tibetan envoy.

So he said: "So, General Lu Dongzan of your family wants you to come and tell this marshal that everything you do is helpless, and it is not your fault?" What about the letter? Show it to Ben Shuai! ”

The Tibetan man hurriedly took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms, and the generals in the tent couldn't help laughing when they saw it: "What year and month are you still using sheepskin?" Don't have paper? ”

Li Daozong smiled disdainfully: "In the bitter cold land of Tibet, you can't even eat enough, how can you talk about reading and learning characters?" The world is so big, it is estimated that Datang can do it. In the words, there was a superior arrogance, and all the generals in the tent laughed, proud and proud that they were a Tang Dynastyman, and the Tubo man saw it in his eyes and suffered in his heart......
