Li Chengqian obviously didn't understand Suning's statement, a huge Western Regions Protectorate was naturally to manage the Western Regions, and then expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the west, what does it have to do with Tubo? It is said that Tubo also made a contribution in this war, and it was about to be traded, and a large number of merchants flocked to the door of the Zongheng Division to ask to participate in the trade, blocking the Zongheng Division.

Suning sighed and said, "Do you know under what circumstances Tubo cooperated with Datang this time?" Before that, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo fought twice, the first time was to send a thousand Turkic cavalry to test the combat effectiveness of the Tubo cavalry, and the Tubo side was also a thousand people, but only 50 of the Turkic cavalry escaped, and the rest were all killed, and the Tubo cavalry lost 600 people, which can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Tubo cavalry is stronger than that of the Turkic cavalry.

The second time is the Tang Dynasty 3,000 iron cavalry under the leadership of the king of Ren Cheng and the 3,000 cavalry of Tubo to fight, the king of Ren Cheng said that the Tubo army and its bravery, the general is even more superb martial arts, the most powerful one of the five military university students besieged him can not take it, killed one and wounded four, the king of Rencheng personally killed and wounded, so he personally stepped forward to fight with it, and it took a lot of effort to cut him under the horse.

In this battle, the Tang cavalry killed more than 1,300 people, although the total annihilation of the Tubo cavalry 3,000, but it was not a big victory, the students of the military university lost four people, you should also know that those students of the first phase of the military university are more capable of fighting, to say that five people besieged one, it is estimated that those generals in the military university did not dare to boast that Haikou could retreat, not to mention other losses. But the bravery of these Tibetan people is beyond our imagination.

But the bravery is not terrible, even if he is as brave as Lu Fengxian, he still dies at the hands of the villain? The most terrible thing is resourcefulness, the commander of Tubo is called Lu Dongzan, a nobleman of Tubo, a cronie of Tubo Zanpu Songzan Gampo, that is, he proposed to make peace with the Tang Dynasty immediately after the Tubo cavalry was wiped out, for which he was willing to pay hundreds of nobles and 30,000 prisoners under Tuyuhun Khan, plus the entire territory of Tuyuhun and all the population. and also promised to compensate Datang for some finances. It expresses Tubo's consolation to the Tang soldiers who died in battle.

You know, how many soldiers and horses can there be in the bitter cold land of Tibet? The soldiers of the whole country are about more than 200,000, and this time there is a war. More than half of the 30,000 Tibetan soldiers were lost. There are only more than 10,000 people left alive to make it back. However, the Tubo people did not want to compensate, but paid a lot, but this qiē was not important. Do you know where the most critical question is? ”

Li Chengqian was listening energetically, and when he heard Suning's question, he couldn't help but immediately ask, "Where is it?" ”

Suning said: "The agents of the Zongheng Division have sent news that on the day that the armistice agreement was signed between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, the 100,000 troops personally led by Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo had arrived dozens of miles on the southern border of Tuyuhun!" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You mean to say that the purpose of Tubo at the beginning was the entire Tuyuhun?" ”

Suning nodded: "That's right, this is the purpose of Tubo at the beginning, it is estimated that they began to plan after receiving Tuyuhun's request for help, at the beginning, they sent 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Tuyuhun worked together, so that Tuyuhun concentrated the elite in the front and fought with the main force of the Tang Dynasty, they ran to the rear and Tuyuhun's ordinary army to deal with the weak combat effectiveness of the Western Regions Alliance, and easily defeated them."

At the same time, the main force of the Tang Dynasty defeated the elite of Tuyuhun, once the elite soldiers of Tuyuhun collapsed, Tuyuhun's national strength was finished, they only had a population of 300,000, according to the ancients, ten people to take one as a soldier is a poor soldier, not to mention that they have gathered a total of 120,000 troops, even if they are immediately the country, it will not be so exaggerated, so the elite army is only 50,000 or 60,000, and the rest are pieced together.

Once Tuyuhun's elite soldiers and horses are wiped out by Datang, Tuyuhun will be finished, their second step plan is to fight head-on with Datang, and by the way, consume the last 30,000 soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun, they will compete with Datang Sandpiper Mussels, and in the end, Datang should be exhausted.

Then the 100,000 troops brought by Tubo Zampu can take advantage of the weakness, break the Tang army in one fell swoop, and then occupy the entire territory of Tuyuhun, as for the 10,000 troops in the Western Regions, they are not the opponent of the Tubo army at all, so that the entire Tuyuhun plus the territory captured before belong to Tubo, and they almost effortlessly get a large piece of land, curb the road to the west of the Tang Dynasty, dominate the Western Regions, and develop rapidly, at that time, the situation will change. ”

Li Chengqian gasped and exclaimed, "How can a country like Tubo have such far-reaching wisdom? I think it can be compared with Fang Xianggong and Du Xianggong, if that's the case, it's probably really hard to say, but since Tubo has set a comprehensive plan, why do you want to change the plan, cooperate with Datang, and invite yourself to be a fan? ”

Suning said: "Because the battle between Tubo and Datang made them see how strong the combat effectiveness of the Datang army was, and they also knew that the army and population of Datang were far above Tubo, even if the 40,000 troops were wiped out, do you think we would let them go according to our temper?" If others don't say it, I'll be the first to ask for help! Let the whole of Tibet be buried by the soldiers!! Not to mention the other generals and the group of little tigers from the Military University, just kidding, against the Tang Dynasty? I'm tired of it! Look for death! ”

Looking at Suning's vicious appearance, Li Chengqian felt full of arrogance in his heart, indeed, in the past few years, Datang will win every battle, if it is defeated, it will be headlines, if it is really like that, it is estimated that Datang will let the Tubo destroy the country and extinct the species, the current Datang is definitely not a soft-footed shrimp, it is estimated that it is possible for Li Ermajesty to drive the expedition in person.

"Tubo does this, it is not far from the country, the Tang Dynasty will definitely send a large army to retaliate, when the time comes, Tubo will not only lose the army, but also not even a little land, not to be able to be captured by the Tang Dynasty A large amount of territory, the gains outweigh the losses, Cao Gong said above, Tubo is also very complicated in the country, some priests hold great power, and Tubo Zampu cannot fight with it.

Those priests would rather burn the food of the priest god than give it to those who were dying of starvation, and even let those who were too weak to be soldiers be sacrificed to some god. Thanks to them, the Tibetan population has not been able to go up. Suning continued.

Li Chengqian frowned: "Priest? How dare you be so bold? If there are such people in Datang, they must be copied and killed! How can there be a god who eats the living? That's a ghost, not a god! That kind of person can also hold power in Tibet? What will it be like to see Tibet? ”

Suning said: "The plateau is closed, the people's wisdom has not been opened, and this situation will naturally occur in Tubo, but this situation is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. Everyone who survives is very capable of fighting. The combat effectiveness is strong, and only the soldiers of Longxi Qin and Saibei Yan can compete with them physically, but Tubo has always lacked population and cannot develop because of those priests and those so-called gods.

It was a fatal illness for them. For me, Datang, it is a good move that can limit the strength of Tubo. This time, Tibet behaved like this. Apologize and apologize, pay such a big price, will they ask for a lot? Matters of trade. It is a good trick to restrain them in the Western Turks and the Western Regions and Xue Yantuo, but when it is used in Tibet, it is very likely to be used by Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo in turn to deal with those priests, and at that time, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian pondered for a long time and asked, "Is there a solution?" ”

Suning said: "I haven't thought of it yet, but since Datang has accepted the gift of Tubo, the matter of trade is inevitable, otherwise it will be discredited, but once trade, I am very worried that something unexpected will happen, so the businessmen who photographed the trade in the past will be the secret agents of the Zongheng Division, and they will definitely do things with great care, and every move of the Tubo people will be closely monitored, such as Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan, especially that Lu Dongzan, I always feel that this guy will be the enemy of my Datang." ”

Li Chengqian said: "The first time I saw you, I would also be afraid of foreigners, usually I see you either fight or kill foreigners, or just squeeze out the money and swallow it directly, my father often said that you are dealing with foreigners, you can think of any evil tricks, even businessmen are used by you more effective than the army, why are you so jealous of foreigners this time?" Is Lu Dongzan really so terrible? ”

Suning said: "The lion fights the rabbit must also do his best, whether it is the Eastern and Western Turks, or Xue Yantuo, or even the Western Regions, it does not give me that feeling, but now this Tubo, as well as Nalu Dongzan, makes me feel very bad, fortunately, Datang has abolished Heqin and issued a confidentiality decree to ensure that Tubo cannot get any valuable technology from Datang, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case, who knows what tricks they will have?"

Those who achieve great things are not informal, Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan were not blinded by the interests of the moment, but resisted the impulse and noticed the greater benefits that can be obtained in the future, from this point it can be seen that their plans are not small, Songtsen Gampo is ambitious, Lu Dongzan is ambitious, this pair of together, it is not a good thing for my Datang, who knows what they want? Tuyuhun? Western regions? Prairie? and even ...... Datang! ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then was shocked, slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "Bold! How dare little Tubo be so arrogant!? How dare you covet the land of the Heavenly Empire!? Lonely will personally raise 100,000 soldiers to pacify Tibet! ”

It seems that Li Chengqian is really angry......

Suning waved his hand and said: "This is just my own speculation, it can't be true, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, this negotiation, I want to ask His Majesty, I want to meet them, and then I can decide how to go behind, these two people should not be underestimated, I really can't imagine that such a character can appear in the alien races around the Tang Dynasty, if possible, I really want to send someone to assassinate them, and get rid of the future troubles forever!" ”

Suning really moved to kill, if you want to nip the rise of Tubo in the bud, the best way is to kill Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan, especially Lu Dongzan, Tubo's policy towards Tang Guozhi was created by him, kill him, once and for all, but, keep them, Suning is still familiar with them, has an impact on them, and can guard against them, if they are really killed, what if there are a few more powerful characters that Suning is not familiar with?

The probability that these alien elites can appear around the land of China is not large, but once they appear, it is not a good thing for China, the Han Dynasty has Maodun Khan, and the soul of Liu Bang is scattered, and the three generations of the Xiongnu have pressed the Han Dynasty under their bodies for decades and cannot turn over; In the Tang Dynasty, there were Tibetans, Goguryeo, and Uighurs; The Song Dynasty had the most, Li Yuanhao and Yelu Abaoji Xiao Yanyan and others in the early stage, and the Wanyan family in the later period, and finally encountered the rare grassland Tianjiao in a thousand years, which made the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty very troubled; In the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji met and staged another tragedy of snakes swallowing elephants.

There are not many of these alien elites, but the treacherous and cunning are definitely not under the Han elite, Suning feels that even if it is Du Ruhui, before he has practiced the art of vertical and horizontal, he may not be able to deal with Lu Dongzan's schemes, let alone Fang Xuanling, but after practicing the most famous book of power in the history of the Chinese clan "Guiguzi", the enhanced version of Du Ruhui should be able to pass the trick with Lu Dongzan.

Of course, I also have to deal with you, I want to see if you can still make Datang live in peace for the rest of his life! Hum! (To be continued......)
