Five hundred and ninety-seven Lu Dongzan's plan (2)

Li Shiji rarely saw pamper scrolls since he was born, so after the guards found out that they were not poisonous, they took them over and looked carefully, looked over and over again, and smiled and said, "It's so rough that it's not as good as the bamboo paper before, let alone the white paper now. Let me ask you, this cost is probably not expensive, right?"

The Tubo man smiled bitterly and said, "Master General, don't ask, we feel inferior to these things."

Li Shiji smiled and looked carefully. It was Chinese characters and it was written quite beautifully. Is Lu Dongzan's handwritten letter? This man also had a deep understanding of the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shiji read it with his spirit, read the whole text in one breath, put down the parchment paper, and smiled at the generals in the hall: "The Tubo general told me that their actions were helpless. He himself opposed this dispatch. The general who fought with our army before was a figure in the priesthood. He did not obey the command and sent troops rashly. If he offended, please forgive me for the offense. Haha..."

Li Shiji didn't say anything. Li Daozong stood up and looked at the Tubo man coldly and shouted: "What are you waiting for me to be a Tang Dynasty soldiers? Are pigs and dogs? Even if you kill pigs and dogs, you will apologize and apologize, let alone my Tang Dynasty soldiers. In a battle, I, the Tang Dynasty soldiers killed thousands of soldiers. The lives of these thousand people were also helped to abuse. This letter will be resolved? Humph! If you don't give an explanation, I will immediately kill you with a piece of armor!"

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

Li Shiji smiled and said, "Daozong is content. If only this is the case, the general will personally raise the army to avenge the soldiers who died in battle. However, the Tubo general understood the truth. He said that in order to make up for the losses of the Tang Dynasty, he was willing to make meritorious contributions. He sneaked into the Tuyuhun army at night, defeated the Tuyuhun army, and captured all the senior figures below the Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan and presented them to the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, people will be sent to inform the Western Regions that 10,000 troops stop the attack and instead destroy the 10,000 Tuyuhun army there. Then retreat immediately. Come here to accept the handling of the Tang Dynasty. After destroying Tuyuhun, the Tubo army will not have anything, and the land, population and property will be given to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty is not satisfied, Tubo can also pay money to make up for the losses of the Tang Dynasty. Please ignore the past and allow the Tubo army to withdraw from the country, and will pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty."

The generals were stunned and secretly sighed that the Tubo people were very generous in taking action. Li Shiji then asked: "This General Lu Dongzan really has such great authority to agree to these conditions in the Tang Dynasty?"

The Tubo man said, "Before going to war, Zanpu told the general that if things were not done, he could surrender to the Tang Dynasty. All conditions, as long as they were not too harsh, could be agreed. Tubo was scarce and every soldier was wealth. If he could lose less, he would have less losses. For this reason, Tubo was willing to pay the price. If the commander was not satisfied with these conditions, he could continue to discuss them. What we need to discuss now is whether the commander could agree to our request?"

Li Shiji remained silent for a while and didn't say anything. The other generals whispered to each other and thought that these conditions were very good. After all, the Tubo people were not weak in combat. Didn't our ancestors say that we should not pursue the enemy? They have already given such conditions, so we can avoid a hard battle and achieve such results. That would be better.

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

Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. Since that's the case, I promised you the conditions. You will go back immediately and tell your generals that these things will be resolved tonight. Tomorrow, I will see Khan Fu Yun, King of Tianzhu and General Chi Yun surrender in front of me. Also, after that, the Tubo army handed over the weapons and lived here. After everything is handled, the Tang Dynasty will naturally have envoys to negotiate with you. During this period, your safety can be guaranteed. How about this?"

The Tubo man looked happy and said, "This is great! Thank you, the general! I will go back and inform the general. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely present these three people to the general to connect all the prisoners and property of Tuyuhun. Please wait for the good news!"

Li Shiji smiled and nodded, watching the Tubo man leave. The generals in the tent began to whisper with a little excitement. It seemed that they had encountered some great joy. Li Daozong frowned tightly. Just as he was about to say something to Li Shiji, he saw that Li Shiji was also serious. Li Shiji glanced at Li Daozong, looked at the other generals, and sighed and said, "This Lu Dongzan is not simple. Anyone who can accomplish great things is not limited to minor details. His actions are Tuyuhun, and he thinks he has so much to ask for."

Li Daozong said: "If Tubo made such a big concession, if he didn't need anything, just to make a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid no one would believe it after he said it. I just don't know what they need?"

After the two said this, the generals in the tent came to their senses. Since they had paid so much, they probably needed something that was not simple. The Western Turks and the countries in the Western Regions had already paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, so they sent troops to help. Could it be that Tubo also wanted to learn from the Western Turks? So what is the biggest possibility? Yes, trade!

They realized that their domestic dilemma needed to be changed by the Tang Dynasty's commercial power, so that the Tang Dynasty's commercial power would compete with the religious power in Tubo, and they benefited from it! Li Daozong said a little, and the generals understood that the senior figures of the Tang Dynasty understood that the so-called commerce was actually a means of the Zonghengsi, a poisonous plan, to obtain a large amount of wealth from the enemy country through the infiltration of merchants, squeeze them dry, and then eliminate them without any effort. Before eliminating, they could still control them firmly so that they could not confront the Tang Dynasty.

To be honest, every senior executive of the Tang Dynasty was applauding, but Li Shiji sensitively realized that the situation in Tubo was slightly different. Tubo introduced the commercial power of the Tang Dynasty, which must have their purpose. Moreover, Lu Dongzan was such a big gift at one time, and Tubo's Zamp, who was called Songtsen Gamp. He could allow Lu Dongzan to deliver such a great price to the Tang Dynasty. His goal was definitely not simple.

The Tubo people realized that they could not defeat the Tang Dynasty. Even if the 40,000 troops in Li Shiji were defeated, the Tang Dynasty was likely to send troops to revenge in order to revenge. At that time, Tubo would lose his troops and generals, and the gains were not worth the loss. Tuyuhun, who had spent a lot of effort, would be taken back by the Tang Dynasty in a flash. Maybe the local area would be lost, so they simply sold the Tang Dynasty to help the Tang Dynasty cook Tuyuhun in exchange for the favor of the Tang Dynasty, which would be beneficial to their future plans.

Using the commercial power of the Tang Dynasty, while improving the lives of the Tubo people, it can also fight against religious power. Moreover, there is probably no normal thing in the bitter and cold land of Tubo, and food is scarce. Otherwise, there will be no people who cannot eat enough. Although the merchants of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not suffer any losses. There must be scarce things in the bitter and cold land of the plateau, Lu Dongzan and Songzan Ganbu gave Li Shiji a very bad first impression. The feeling of the king and his ministers was quite terrible.

Tubo is a country that made the Tang Dynasty uneasy for the rest of its life. It is a huge stumbling block for the Tang Dynasty to establish a unipolar world. The Tang Dynasty cleaned up the East and West Turks, Goguryeo, Japanese, and Western Regions, but they couldn't deal with the Tubo people. The Tubo people and the Tang Dynasty fought back and forth for hundreds of years. Finally, they signed a peace treaty between the two sides at the end of the ninth century, which stabilized. After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo also entered a period of decline. Soon after, Tubo split and failed to recover, which was considered to be a burial for the Tang Dynasty...

The Tang Dynasty is in a period of strong rise, but Tubo is not weak either. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Shiji felt that a hundred thousand troops might not be able to completely eliminate Tubo, and completely eliminate Tubo, so it is very necessary to open trade and trade with Tubo. The merchants sent by the Tang Dynasty were all agents of the Zonghengsi. They ran around inside Tubo, and it was easy to find out the real situation of Tubo for the Tang Dynasty.

However, Songzan Gampo and Lu Dongzan... Li Shiji always felt uneasy, so he immediately wrote a memorial to His Majesty Li Er to tell what happened here. His Majesty Li Er already knew that Tubo had sent troops to aid Tuyuhun, but His Majesty Li Er was not clear about the current situation. Li Shiji felt it was necessary to talk to His Majesty Li Er about the situation here and asked His Majesty Li Er for guidance. The Tubo people gave him a feeling that it was very bad.

After seeing off the memorial, Li Shiji was waiting for dawn in the military camp. At such a night, it is estimated that every person insider would not be able to fall asleep. In order to prevent the Tubo people from fighting, the three generals took turns to watch the night, and the army was divided into three waves to sleep, ensuring that no matter when there was a battle, they could quickly integrate their combat effectiveness and not be defeated by the enemy. They were determined to be on guard against others.

Time passed slowly, and Li Shiji asked the military chefs to get him some food to eat, cheer up, nourish his spirit, and prepare for tomorrow's situation. The Tubo people were also preparing in full swing. The Tubo military camp and the Tuyuhun military camp were separated, but not far away. The main leaders of the two armies stayed together. Fu Yun Khan was worried that the Tang army would attack the Tuyuhun camp when they came, so he felt that the Tubo camp was safer, so he took the King of Tianzhu to live in the Tubo camp. Chi Yun, as the main general, stayed in the camp, which seemed quite depressed.

Fu Yun Khan was still relatively relaxed. Although the Tubo people were defeated for a while, Lu Dongzan personally promised that the Tubo reinforcements were coming. The strength of the Tang army was beyond their imagination, so he would definitely send troops to provide assistance when necessary, and would not delay Tuyuhun, nor would he betray the alliance. After Fu Yun Khan was guaranteed, he would drink and eat meat in the tent with King Tianzhu to raise his spirit. After all, it was before the war and he was not sure of victory. Although there were women in the camp, no one had the heart to play with those poor women.

That's true, it's all for this, who has the heart to play with women? But the Tuyuhun people don't know that their doomsday has arrived...

The night gradually became deeper, and most people fell asleep, and accumulated energy for tomorrow's battle. Most of the Tuyuhun people fell asleep. The Tubo camp was also silent, with only a few patrol teams coming and going, and they all looked asleep. However, the lights in the tent belonging to Lu Dongzan were still on. There were two people inside, one standing and the other sitting. After a while, the sitting person also stood up, walked around for a while, lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, and they were all armed Lu Dongzan and the Tubo man who had sent letters to Li Shiji before.

"Wuxi, you said, can those Tang Shang really open a path for us? Tubo is too poor to withstand the troubles of those people, but can Tang Shang really do all this?" Lu Dongzan asked.

Wuxi looked at the vast night, and the deepness and calmness that was extremely disharmonious to his face appeared on his sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks. He sighed and Wuxi said slowly: "Master, since Tubo can no longer be tormented by these people, then inaction is destruction. If you make a difference, there is still hope. Therefore, the Han people have a very good saying. Instead of sitting there waiting to die, it is better to make a last try."

Lu Dongzan nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, if I want to sit there and wait for death, I am really unwilling to give up. Then, let's make a last try! Wuxi, are you ready to finish?"

Wuxi nodded: "Everything is ready."
