597 Lu Dongzan's Plan (II)

Li Shiji has rarely seen a parchment roll since he was born, so after the guards verified that it was non-toxic, he also took it and looked at it carefully, looked at it over and over again, and said with a smile: "It's so rough, even the previous bamboo paper can't be compared, let alone the white paper now, let alone the white paper now, let me ask you, I'm afraid it's a lot of money, right?" ”

The Tibetan man smiled bitterly: "Don't ask, don't ask, these things, we don't sigh to ourselves." ”

Li Shiji smiled and looked at it carefully, it is a Chinese character, and the writing is quite beautiful, is it Lu Dongzan's handwritten letter? This person also has a deep understanding of the culture of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shiji cheered up and read it, read the whole text in one breath, put down the parchment, and smiled at the generals: "The Tubo general said to Ben Shuai that everything they did was helpless, he himself opposed this dispatch, and the general who fought with our army before was a figure of the priest faction, he did not listen to the command, rashly sent troops, offended, and asked Ben Shuai to understand, hehe......"

Li Shiji didn't say anything, Li Daozong stood up, looked at the Tubo man coldly and shouted, "What are you waiting for me to be a Tang soldier?" Pigs and dogs? Even if it is a pig and dog that killed others, I have to apologize and apologize, not to mention that I am a Tang soldier, under the First World War, my Datang killed thousands of soldiers, the lives of these thousand people, and also helped to abuse, this letter was solved? Hum! If you don't give an explanation, General Ben will immediately wave his troops to kill you, leaving no piece of armor behind! ”

The Tubo man looked at Li Shiji in panic: "Dashuai, this ......"

Li Shiji said with a smile: "Daozong and relieved, if this is all there is to it, the commander will personally raise the army to avenge the soldiers who died in battle." However, this Tubo general also understands the reason, he said, in order to make up for the losses of the Tang Dynasty, he is willing to make meritorious contributions, take advantage of the night to attack the Tuyuhun army, defeat the Tuyuhun army, and capture all the high-level figures below the Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan and dedicate them to the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, they will also send people to inform the 10,000 troops in the Western Regions to stop the attack, and instead destroy the 10,000 Tuyuhun troops there. Then immediately withdraw the troops. After coming here to accept the disposal of the Tang Dynasty and eliminating the Tuyuhun, the Tubo army did not want anything, and the land, population and property were all dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. If Datang is still not satisfied. Tubo can also pay money to make up for the loss of Datang. Please ignore the past suspicions, allow the Tibetan army to withdraw to the country, and will pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. ”

The generals were stunned. Secretly sighed that the Tubo people were really generous, but Li Shiji then asked: "Does this General Lu Dongzan really have such a big authority to agree to these conditions of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The Tubo man said: "Before this expedition, Zampu told General SΓΉ that if things can't be done, you can surrender to the Tang Dynasty, a qiΔ“ condition, as long as it is not too harsh, you can agree, Tubo population is scarce, every soldier is wealth, if you can lose less, you will lose less, for this, Tubo is willing to pay the price, if these conditions are not satisfied, you can continue to discuss, now what we have to discuss is, can the marshal agree to our request?" ”

Li Shiji was silent for a while and didn't speak, but the other generals thought that these conditions were very good, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Tubo people was not weak, and the old ancestor didn't also say that the poor Kou Mo chased? It would be great that we could have achieved such results without having to fight a bitter battle.

Li Daozong said to Li Shiji: "Marshal, where is General Su?" ”

Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I know, in this case, Ben Shuai promised your conditions, you go back immediately, tell your general, these things will be solved tonight, tomorrow morning Ben Shuai will see Fu Yun Khan, Tianzhu King and General Chi Yun surrender in front of Ben Shuai, and, after that, the Tubo army will hand over their weapons and live here, and after a qiΔ“ is dealt with, the Tang Dynasty will naturally have envoys to negotiate with you, during this period, your safety can be guaranteed, so, how?" ”

The Tibetan man said with a smile on his face: "This couldn't be better!" Thank you, Dashuai! In the next place, I will go back and report to the general, tomorrow morning, these three people will definitely be dedicated to the general, and all the prisoners and belongings of Tuyuhun will be connected, please wait for the good news! ”

Li Shiji smiled and nodded, watching the Tubo man leave, the generals in the tent began to exchange ears with a little excitement, as if they had encountered some great joy, Li Daozong's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he was about to say something to Li Shiji, but he saw that Li Shiji also had a stern face, Li Shiji glanced at Li Daozong, and then looked at the rest of the generals, sighed and said: "This Ludong praise is not simple, anyone who can achieve great things is not informal, and one of them is a Tuguhun who wants to ask for a lot." ”

Li Daozong said: "Tubo made such a big concession, if it doesn't need anything, just to make a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that no one will believe it, but I don't know, what do they need?" ”

The two of them said, the generals in the account came back to their senses, since they have paid so much, I am afraid that the things needed must not be simple, the Western Turks and the Western Regions have already paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, so they will send troops to help, is it possible that Tubo also wants to learn from the Western Turks, so what is the greatest possibility? That's right, trade!

They realized that their domestic predicament needed to be changed with the help of the commercial power of the Tang Dynasty, so that the commercial power of the Tang Dynasty could compete with the religious forces in Tibet, and they would benefit from it! Li Daozong said a little, and the generals could understand that the so-called trade was actually a means of the Zongheng Division, a poisonous plan, the infiltration of merchants to obtain a lot of wealth from the enemy country, squeeze them dry, and then eliminate them without much effort, and before they were eliminated, they could still be firmly controlled, so that they could not confront the Tang Dynasty.

This move, to be honest, every high-level Datang official applauded, but Li Shiji was sensitive to the fact that the situation in Tubo was slightly different, and Tubo introduced the commercial power of Datang, which must have their purpose, and this Lu Dongzan was such a big gift as soon as he made a move, and there was also Zanpu of Tubo, called Songtsan Gampo, he could allow Lu Dongzan to pay such a heavy price to Datang, and his plan was definitely not simple.

The Tibetans had realized that they could not defeat the Tang Dynasty, even if the 40,000 troops in Li Shiji's hands were defeated. It is very likely that Datang will send an army to take revenge for revenge, at that time, Tubo is a loss of troops, the gains outweigh the losses, and Tuyuhun will be recaptured by Datang in an instant, and the local area will be lost, so simply sell Datang a benefit, help Datang cook Tuyuhun, in exchange for Datang's favor, which is good for their future planning.

Harness the power of Datang's business. While improving the lives of the Tibetan people. It can also fight against religious forces, and in the bitter cold land of Tibet, it is estimated that there are no normal things, and food is scarce. Otherwise, there wouldn't be many people who don't have enough to eat. Although the merchants of Datang will not suffer. There must be something scarce in the Tang Dynasty in the bitter cold land of the plateau, but that Lu Dongzan and Songtsan Gampo gave Li Shiji's first impression very bad. This is quite terrifying for the monarch and minister, and the feeling he gives him.

Tubo is a country that makes the second half of the Tang Dynasty unsettled, and it is a huge stumbling block for the Tang Dynasty to establish a unipolar world, the Tang Dynasty has cleaned up the Eastern and Western Turks, Goguryeo, the Japanese, and the Western Regions, but it can't get rid of the Tubo people, the Tubo people and the Tang Dynasty have been fighting back and forth for hundreds of years, and finally signed a peace treaty between the two sides at the end of the ninth century, which stabilized dìng, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo also entered a period of decline, and soon after, Tubo was divided and collapsed. can be regarded as a martyrdom for the Tang Dynasty......

Today's Tang Dynasty is in a period of strong rise, but Tubo is not weak, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Shiji feels that 100,000 troops may not be able to completely eliminate Tubo, completely eliminate Tubo, too much preparation is required, Datang knows almost nothing about Tubo, so it is very necessary to start a trade exchange with Tubo, the merchants sent by Datang are all agents of the Zongheng Division, they are running around inside Tubo, and it is easy to find out the true situation of Tubo for Datang.

However, Songtsen Gampo and Ludongzan ...... Li Shiji always felt uneasy in his heart, so he immediately wrote a recital to Li Erma, telling what happened here, Li Ermaxi already knew that Tubo sent troops to aid Tuyuhun, but the current situation, Li Ermaxi was not clear, Li Shiji felt the need to talk to Li Ermaxi about the situation here, and asked Li Ermaxi for guidance, and the feeling that the Tubo people gave him was very bad.

In order to prevent the Tubo people from attacking the west, the three generals took turns to keep vigil, and the army was divided into three waves to sleep in turns, ensuring that whenever there was a battle, it could quickly integrate its combat effectiveness and not be broken by the enemy.

Time passed slowly, Li Shiji asked the men in the army to get him a little food to eat, refresh his spirits, and prepare to deal with tomorrow's situation, the Tubo people are also in full swing to prepare, the Tubo military camp and the Tuyuhun military camp are separated, but not far away, the main leaders of the two armies are staying together, Fuyun Khan is worried that the Tang army will attack the Tuyuhun camp as soon as it comes, so he feels that it is safer to still live in the Tubo camp with the king of Tianzhu, and Chi Yun stays in the camp as the main general, It's also quite depressing to think about.

Fuyun Khan is still relatively relaxed, although the Tubo people were defeated for a while, but Lu Dongzan personally promised that the Tubo reinforcements were coming, and the strength of the Tang army was beyond their imagination, so they would definitely send troops to help when necessary, and would not delay Tuyuhun, nor would they break the covenant, after Fuyun Khan was guaranteed, he was relieved to drink and eat meat in the tent with the king of Tianzhu, and nourish his spirit, after all, it was before the war, and there was no certainty of victory, although there were women in the camp, but no one had the heart to play with those poor women.

That's right, it's all on the job, who has the heart to play with women? It's just that the Tuyuhun people don't know that their end has come......

The night gradually deepened, most of the people fell asleep, for tomorrow's battle accumulation, most of the Tuyuhun people fell asleep, the Tubo camp was also silent, only a few patrols came and went, it seemed that they were all asleep, but the lights in the tent belonging to Lu Dongzan were still on, there were two people inside, one was standing, the other was sitting, and after a while, the one who was sitting also stood up, walked around for a while, lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, It was Lu Dongzan, who was heavily armed, and the Tibetan man who had sent a letter to Li Shiji before.

"Wu Xi, you say, those Tang merchants, can they really open a way for us? Tubo is too poor to withstand the toss of those people, but can Tang Shang really do this? Lu Dongzan asked.

Wu Xi looked at the vast night, the sharp-beaked monkey's face showed a deep and calm that was extremely discordant with his appearance, sighed, Wu Xi said slowly: "Master, since Tubo can no longer be tossed by these people, then inaction is destruction, and there is still hope for making a difference, so the Han people have a saying that is very good, rather than sitting and waiting, it is better to do the last fight." ”

Lu Dongzan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if you want to sit still and wait for death, I am really unwilling, then, let's make a last fight!" Goki, are you ready? ”

Wuxi nodded: "Everything is ready." ”

Lu Dongzan smiled and nodded: "I am the east wind, do it!" (To be continued......)
