Chapter 109: Tubo Messenger
Accompanied by the sound of several drums, the gate of the Daming Palace opened wide, and a young man in a strange suit walked across the Imperial Bridge and walked towards the square in front of Hanyuan Palace.
At the Weilong Bridge, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could be seen with a feather-protected car and a yellow umbrella.
The Tang Dynasty held Jinwu and Qianniuwei, and was majestic.
The civil and military ministers were arranged on both sides of the emperor's ceremonial guard.
Dozens of people even stood in the middle of the square wearing Tang armor.
The whole scene is silent and silent
The breathing of millions of people seemed to disappear.
Only the heavy pressure like a mountain is constantly pressing.
Jinzhu Dhara straightened her clothes and, under the guidance of the Jinwu Guard of the Tang Kingdom, continued to move forward and walked to the square. She was adjacent to the Tang generals and was stopped by someone when she was still dozens of steps away from the ritual of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Stop, who is coming?"
Jinzhudura stroked his right hand and bowed slightly to the emperor's ceremonial guard: "I, Jinzhudura is the envoy of Tubo. He is ordered by the great prime minister Lu Dongzan to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
When these words came out, a commotion came from the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tubo envoy's attitude can be said to be neither humble nor arrogant, but this is the biggest problem.
During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty originally looked down on Tubo.
After experiencing the Battle of Songzhou, Taizong was considered to have some understanding of the national strength of Tubo.
Finally, the two sides made a peace agreement and used Tubo as a minister to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty gave the princess a marriage to become a father-in-law and son-in-law, and included Tubo into the Tang Dynasty's vassal state and tribute system.
Therefore, the envoys from Tubo must come to the ceremony with the high standards of the sect leader.
But at present, the attitude of the Tubo envoy did not reflect this relationship at all, and this was a provocation for the Tang Dynasty.
It was like seeing that my father didn’t call him dad and called him “Lao Tie”.
The civil servants were just talking, and among the military generals, there were already strong people standing up and shouting sternly: "Bold, why don't you kneel down when you see the Khan of Heaven?"
The caller is General Zuo Wei Guard, Guo Waifeng.
Zuowei Guard was one of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty.
Later generations knew that Guo was the only one who suffered the defeat of the Tang army in Dafeichuan.
Later generations only blamed Guo Zhifeng for not obeying Xue Rengui's military orders and causing great defeat, but never thought that Guo Zhifeng was not an incompetent person.
Guo Daifeng was the son of Guo Xiaoke, a famous founding general of the Tang Dynasty.
In February of the fourth year of Xianqing, Li Zhi personally planned to try the juren. Among the 900 people, only Guo Zhifeng, Zhang Jiuling and other five were ranked first, and ordered the attendant to entrust the Hongwenguan to follow the war to worship him.
Previously, when he was conquering Goguryeo, Guo Kaifeng was appointed as the general manager of the Jili Road march, and was under the control of Li Ji, and led the ship across the sea to Pyongyang.
Later, Feng Shiben was ordered by Li Jie to lead the navy to carry grain to reinforce Guo Kaifeng. The ship was defeated. Guo Kaifeng planned to inform Li Jie of this information, but was afraid that Goguryeo knew that the reinforcements would not come, so he wrote a divorce poem to present to Li Jie.
Li Ji was puzzled and said furiously: "The military aircraft is so anxious that he still has the heart to write poems? You must kill him!"
But Yuan Wanqing of the room understood the mystery of the poem and explained it to Li Ji. Only then did Li Ji let Guo Waifeng go and send food to support him.
Judging from the entire battlefield of the Goguryeo campaign, Guo Daifeng performed well.
Moreover, Li Zhichao sent troops to fight, which was usually a combination of new and old.
Or a veteran and persistent general, and a combination of powerful generals.
For example, Cheng Zhijie and Su Dingfang were the previous ones.
Later, Zheng Rentai was paired with Xue Rengui.
Guo Daifeng is naturally very smart to stand out from the nine hundred people.
The Tubo envoy was rude. If the veteran general and important officials came out to scold him, it would be a relief to Tubo.
He shouted, it was just right.
Sure enough, the Empress Wu beside Li Zhi looked at him, and his eyes seemed to be in praise.
Li Zhi raised his arm lightly and said, "Let's retreat for the time being."
"yes."
Guo Waiting for Fengmudao to reach the Dao, he immediately retreated back to the ranks of military generals.
The Tubo envoy below was wearing strange plateau clothes, with a dark and red face, and his eyes were dark and bright.
If you throw away his plateau red complexion and ignore his strange costumes, there will be a kind of rough and wild beauty.
He bowed to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang and said, "I am a Tubo native, so I can only kneel down to Tubo Zanpu, but I can't kneel down to the Emperor of Tang."
“Bold!”
At this moment, civil and military officials were collectively angry.
In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was still a younger brother.
Now, in front of countless foreign chiefs and envoys, he dares to be so ruthless.
Li Zhi gently held Wu Meiniang's snow-white palm.
Empress Wu, who was in tune with his heart, immediately sang: "Quiet, today Your Majesty will order the general to parade the military, why should he be arrogant?"
The court officials gradually calmed down.
Since Li Zhi was willing to meet Tubo envoys at this time, he had the idea of establishing his authority.
Since you want to establish your authority, you must not be impatient or disorderly.
It's like an adult facing a child, letting the child hang out his teeth and claws. I want to look at you in the first sight and I will lose.
Careful, it means that both parties are in a similar position.
Ignoring the other party and crushing with hard power is the best strategy.
"You are the Tubo envoy and come to see the Khan of Heaven, what's the matter?"
Wu Meiniang continued to speak.
Her voice is very pleasant and has an attractive magnetism.
Moreover, he was full of energy. All the civil and military ministers and foreign envoys in the square could hear clearly.
"My great prime minister Lu Dongzan, I would like to represent Tubo Zanpu, please marry Tuyuhun and ask Chishui for animal husbandry."
The whole Tang Ting was surprised when he said this.
Including Li Zhi, his face became extremely strange.
Court officials, vassal envoys and chiefs were talking about it.
Tubo's request was both rude and arrogant.
To get along with Tuyuhun means to become a blood-related marriage with Tuyuhun in legal terms, to actually control Tuyuhun and obtain legal support.
For example, if you marry a Tuyuhun Princess and then occupy Tuyuhun’s land, you can put forward a banner that says that the son-in-law helps his father-in-law protect his family’s wealth.
This will make it even more troublesome if the Tang Dynasty wants to intervene.
And the animal husbandry land...
This is more sensitive.
The animal husbandry land in Tuyuhun is a vast grassland after leaping over Dafeichuan from the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty agreed to give this pasture to Tubo animal husbandry, would they dare to catch cattle and sheep next time?
This is not a provocation, it is simply a naked robbery.
Come on your nose and face.
Lawless!
Li Zhi's face gradually became gloomy.
Even if his qi cultivation skills are good, it depends on what he has.
For the Emperor Li Zhi, who wanted to be the Fengshan Mountains and become the famous in history.
Tubo did not rebel early, but did not rebel late. At this time, he would have no face to slap him in the face.
Now I am sending envoys to make these rude requests, which is not as simple as slapping in the face.
I simply wanted to rub Tian Khan's face under my feet in front of the Tang Dynasty.
The other party is just a small envoy.
Killed, but it was even dirty.
If you don’t kill and let it provoke, how can the Tang Empire, which is entrenched in 14 million square kilometers, swallow this breath?
The Tang Dynasty came from iron blood.
Li Zhi is also soft on the outside and hard on the inside.
His hand grabbed Wu Meiniang's palm with force, and looked down at the Tubo envoy who was looking down at the calm Tubo area below.
A smile appeared on Li Zhi's face: "It's interesting, it's really interesting. Tubo Zanpu asked you to come and make these unsubstantiated requests. Are you really not afraid of the arrival of the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers?"
Although his voice was not loud, his tone was extremely decisive.
No one doubted Li Zhi's determination.
There will never be anyone who doubts the martial ethics of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the east and west have fought against each other, and powerful enemies have been destroyed in front of them.
The powerful Turkic Empire was destroyed.
The powerful Goguryeo died.
Baekje, Japan, was destroyed.
Dozens of countries in the Western Regions either died of the iron hoofs of the Tang cavalry, or paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and obeyed and posted them.
Now, Tubo suddenly jumped out and tried to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
The entire Hanyuan Palace is silent and terrifying.
The sun shines through the clouds from the east and shines on the Daming Palace.
The light is bright.
The faint sound of horns and drums sounded from a distance.
It was the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty arranged outside Chang'an City, waiting for Su Dawei and others to lead the troops to drive them.
Jinzhudura stroked his chest with his right hand and bowed, "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our country has always respected it. Although I, Tubo, are a small country in the west, have millions of soldiers. As the general said, our country's small people are poor and the people are hungry, so we can only find a suitable pasture."
As he said that, he stood up, his eyes straight at Li Zhi on the platform, and said firmly: "If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not allow it, then we can only go to herd ourselves."
“Bold!”
Beside Su Dawei, Su Qingjie was so fierce that he could no longer hold back. With a loud shout, he stepped forward.
The lightning was lingering around him, and he was obviously really angry.
What is a million soldiers?
What does it mean to graze yourself?
This is to brighten the muscles, which is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty's disagreement, and I, Tubo, brought troops to take it by myself.
There is no other meaning, it is to provoke and declare war.
If the Tang Dynasty agreed, Tubo would have to occupy the pastures and digest the land and people of Tuyuhun.
If the Tang Dynasty did not allow it, it not only tempted the Tang Dynasty's intentions, but also showed the Tubo attitude in front of the chiefs of the Tang Dynasty's vassal states.
Tubo wanted to replace the Tang Dynasty and become the new sect leader.
For the Tubo people, the center of the whole world comes from Mount Gangdes and Mount Gang Rinpochi.
Tubo naturally deserves to be the king of the world.
In the past, they had no strength and could only endure temporarily.
But in recent years, under the leadership of Lu Dongzan, Tubo not only conquered India several times, but also obtained a large number of Yiren and Weird from India, but also absorbed a large number of Yiren from Ancient Xiangxiong and Tuyuhun.
A million soldiers are not false words.
After this force, there are also huge aliens to support it.
This made Tubo’s confidence expand unprecedentedly.
Su Qingjie wanted to step forward, but Su Dawei held it down: "Lion, don't fall into the trap."
It doesn’t matter if Su Qing Festival goes up, even if you save the power to roast chicken, it won’t matter.
However, the Tubo people provoked the Tang Dynasty and humiliated the Tang Dynasty among the vassal states.
For an envoy of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty still needs to dispatch a senior general wearing a turtle back and a fish scale armor?
He still looks like an alien.
Is it great to beat up children?
Are you proud of your face?
"Ami, I..."
Su Dawei shook his head, took a few steps, saluted Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, and then sang to the Tubo envoy: "Tubo envoys are here from afar, let's put the rest aside for the time being, can you dare to play a game with me?"
"oh?"
Jinzhudura glanced at Su Dawei and smiled and said, "I wonder what game this general wants to do?"
His voice focus is on the word "general".
Su Dawei knew what the other party was thinking and pointed to the sky: "I have heard that the Tubo people are good at raising eagles. I saw one flying on your head, but the eagle you raised?"
Everyone was reminded by Su Dawei and looked up at the sky.
