Chapter 525: Loyalty Two Hundred and Five (Summoning the Monthly Pass)
However, since the matter has been resolved, Uncle Li's mood has improved, so that Uncle Li swept away the gloom when he received the information about the war between Tubo and Zhangxiong at the beginning: "In this way, the old man can not move a single soldier, and the decisive battle between Tubo and Zhangxiong will be delayed for at least two years. Uncle Li slapped the couch railing hard, and the loud noise startled everyone.
Uncle Li ignored everyone's gaze and still vented there: "If it weren't for the fact that so many details were inserted in the past at that time, I'm afraid that the old man would really let him hide it." Hmph, how can the old man be easily teased? No wonder that the son of Lu Dongzan, Qinlinglai, did not leave in my Tang Dynasty, saying that he was in love with the prosperity of Chang'an and admired the culture of my dynasty, I am afraid that this kid is under the order of Songtsan Gampo, and I am afraid that he is worried that the envoy of Xiangxiong will come to the court, and no one will be here to respond to the envoy of the Xiong country. At the end of Uncle Li's words, his cheeks were already bulging, and his expression became hideous, like a fierce beast ready to pounce on its prey and bite at any time.
It seems that Uncle Li is really angry that he has been deceived by a little kid who is much younger than himself, and he feels sincerely angry. This has made Uncle Li lose his previous good impression of Tubo from Zampu to the envoys, well, this is the Uncle Li I know, the founder of the Tang Empire, the iron-fisted king. I believe that in a few years, Tubo will definitely surrender to the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, what should be done with the envoys of the Xiangxiong Kingdom coming to pay tribute?" The old man asked first. Uncle Li was slightly stunned, looked at my old man, and the old man lowered his head slightly: "The minister is worried that my Datang can receive the news that Zhangxiong sent an envoy, and it is difficult to guarantee that Tubo will not be clear, so if Tubo obstructs it......"
Uncle Li stroked his beard and nodded: "Aiqing is reasonable, Xiangxiong envoy, in this way, Li Ji, pass on the edict, let Longyou Dao send an elite cavalry to meet him, strictly guard, no matter what, let them arrive in Chang'an safely." ”
"Your Ministers obey." Uncle Li Ji bowed down to receive the order. "In addition, when the envoy arrives in Chang'an, I will meet in person, but who do you think is the most appropriate thing to hand over to the negotiation?" Uncle Li glanced at the crowd and finally fell on me. The ministers glanced at each other, and all of them looked at me. "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is most appropriate to let Fang Xian's nephew negotiate with the Zhangxiong envoy, at least, he has experience in negotiating with Xue Yantuo, and he can learn from it." The corners of Uncle Li Ji's mouth twitched, and he smiled very obscenely. Depend on! The old rascals know that these old guys don't have a good heart.
----------------------------------------------------However, now this group of old hooligans are all staring at me with dead eyes, I have become the one who is in everyone's eyes, and there is no place to hide if I want to, I can't hide, so I can only bite the bullet, who made me so popular, a young and handsome man? Putting on a fearless expression with a loyalty of two hundred and five, he saluted Uncle Li with lofty attention, and pleaded in a tone of great expectation and extreme eagerness: "The little son-in-law rashly asks for his life to preside over the peace talks with Zhangxiong and Tubo, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”
"Hehehe, get up, well, good, very good, worthy of being my beloved son-in-law, if you can solve this trouble for me, he said, I will have a heavy reward. Hahaha......" Uncle Li patted me on the shoulder with great joy and said. I raised my middle finger to Uncle Li in my heart, but my expression was so grateful: "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, my son-in-law will definitely live up to his mission and ensure the successful completion of this arduous task entrusted to me by His Majesty and the country." ”
The envoys of the Xiangxiong Kingdom came to Chang'an this time, and it must be that Li Niexiu, the king of Xiangxiong, was already afraid of Tubo, whose military strength was stronger than his own, and was afraid of being annexed by Tubo, so he came to Datang for help. And the Tibetan envoys are also there, just right, this son is on the balance, one head Tubo, the other end of the elephant Xiong, strive to dig out more oil and water from both sides, the good things that can be counted in one fell swoop, I am afraid that it can only be done by me to come forward, if you let Kong Yingda's old rotten Confucianism or the hypocrite of Yu Suiliang do it, I am afraid that in the end, it will be a big loss to the Tang Dynasty.
Such a glorious task has been entrusted to me, I will do it well, strive to achieve perfection, of course, before I can do it, I must first know the personal information about Zhangxiong and the envoys of Tibet, as well as the comparison of the military power of the two countries, under my command, the Jinsoyuan, the most powerful spy agency in the world at present, began to stretch its keen tentacles to the west and south of the Tang Dynasty.
"The three hundred and thirty-seven people in Wencheng's marriage group have been mixed into all strata of Tubo, but we can't get involved in the military of Tubo, after all, they won't trust foreigners." Qiu Danmo checked the poison information while reporting to me on the situation, since Princess Wencheng arrived in Tubo, there has been information related to Tubo has been summarized to the Jinjuan Yuan one after another, but in the early stage, it was some innocuous gossip news of the Tubo nobles, or the regular surname information of the production and life of the Tubo people, until the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the situation improved, which also shows that our heroic spy personnel have gradually won the trust of the Tubo people and gradually integrated into the Tubo aristocracy and their religious circle, from which a small amount of information of military value and political value can be obtained.
"Nowadays, the competition between Bon and Buddhism in Tibet is very fierce, but Songtsen Gampo and his cronies and ministers are more willing to believe in Buddhism, so the Buddhists sent by our dynasty in the past are not only welcomed by the local people, but also very famous in the aristocratic circle, they have now formed an alliance with the local Buddhist groups in Tibet and are secretly fighting against Bon, of course, according to the order of the prince, they will not let the Buddhists have too much advantage, in addition, the detailed drawing of the map of the whole territory of Tibet has not yet been completed, this time sent, It's just a rough first draft of the map, and later, they will find a way to send a more detailed map of Tibet and its surroundings. ”
I nodded: "It seems that they have done a good job, at least in terms of intelligence, but this is not enough, tell them that their task now is to find a way to make some unpleasantness between those ministers who believe in Buddhism and the Bon, of course, the more the better, let their government become a mess of porridge, so that Songtsen Gampo and Ludong Zan's anxiety is wonderful, at least, before the dynasty is stable, Songtsen Gampo will not dare to leave the capital easily and lead his troops to fight." ”
"Okay, don't worry, your request, we will definitely send it to them, and besides, what will we do about the Dongnu Country?" Qiu Danmo jotted down my instructions on a piece of paper, and then continued to ask me the next question.
"Dongnu Country? So far, they will be my allies of the Tang Dynasty in five to ten years today, so it is best to send some people over, it is best to let those merchants who trade with Tubo come forward, and leak more information about Tubo to the nobles and high-level of the Dongnu Kingdom, so that they can understand that they and Zhangxiong are sitting on the same broken boat, and if the big fish of Tubo bites the boat gang and falls into the river, it is not only Zhangxiong, but they will also not be able to float for a long time. ”
----------------------------------------------------At this time, Li Xiaode strode into my office: "My lord, I got it, this is the information about Qinling that Xia Guan found in the data room, and this was sent three months ago. ”
"Oh, okay, I'd like to see what kind of guy this guy is?" I took the information handed over by Li Xiaode and looked at it carefully.
"Qinling, whose ancestors were Tibetan nobles for generations, surnamed Xue. He is the second son of the Tibetan minister Lu Dongzan, his brother died early, and there are three younger brothers, Zanpo, Sita, and Yu Bo. Qinling is good at scheming and fruitful, similar to his father Ludong Zanxiao, Songtsan Gampo once praised him for his eagle vision, and is known as a virtuous name in Tubo, and his three younger brothers are not good at their generation, Zanpo and Siduo are all Tubo warriors, and they have achievements at a young age...... "Looking at this information about Qinling, I couldn't help frowning, it seems that this guy is not a foolish master, and his father Lu Dongzan is a sinister person. And according to the intelligence, these babies of Lu Dongzan are afraid that none of them are good birds, and they are all dangerous people, but there is too little information, which makes it difficult for me to judge the true surname and essence of Qinling.
"Is there only that?" I shook the information in my hand with some displeasure and asked Li Xiaode.
Li Xiaode's expression was also very helpless, and he sat on the couch and drank a large sip of water before saying: "Yes, there is only so much information about the envoys of the Tubo envoy to Qinling, because in Tubo, our manpower is still insufficient, mainly for those important ministers of the court, as well as the leaders of various big tribes, if it were not for Qinling's envoys to my Tang Dynasty this time, I am afraid that there would be no news." ”
"More than 300 spies, this number seems to be a lot, but Tubo is not small, there are about more than 2 million people, hundreds of tribes of all sizes, each with its own important towns, so if it goes on, I am afraid that it will be good to see a shadow." Qiu Danmo gestured and smiled bitterly.
