Chapter 239 Exchange
Li Wei had confirmed who was here, and turned his head to Liu Qun and said, "Gu promised someone to come to the capital. Gu will send someone to take her everywhere and take her around, and you can accompany her."
"But that's Fanzi."
"It's a Fanzi, but a unique Fanzi will not harm you."
Liu Qun left hesitantly, Bier was already suspicious and asked, "Who is it?"
"A woman."
"woman?"
"The Princess of Zampo, Tubo."
Bier asked in wonder: "Why did the princess of Tubo come to serve as an envoy?"
"How could I know that these French sons do not know etiquette. Like those barbarians, they cannot be viewed by the standards of the Central Plains." In fact, when it comes to etiquette, the Tang Dynasty was not as cruel as the Song and Ming dynasties in later generations, and Li Wei also liked it. Tubo was not that backward. Since Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, Tubo gradually became stronger and various systems became more complete. There were also some etiquettes, of course, there must be some difference from the etiquettes of the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Qun had already walked back and said, "Report to the prince, the man asked me who I was in the car. I answered my name, and then the man asked me if I was the Liu Qun from the inner palace. Then she did not agree to accompany me, but handed me a letter to me and asked me to pass it to His Highness immediately."
What does Wulu want to do? Li Wei opened the letter suspiciously. The handwriting was not good, but it was written neatly and beautifully. You can tell at a glance that it was written by a woman. Li Wei shocked the words on the letter. There were not many words on the letter and there was no parallel rhyme. Of course, with Zhuosa and Jimale's level, it would be good to be able to write Chinese characters to this point and not write them incorrectly.
Bier asked worriedly: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
By the way, I glanced at the letter. The words on the letter were written in silk, but not small. I saw at a glance that it was written as the head of Qinling. If the prince wanted to meet you, do I want me to leave. Bier couldn't help but cover her mouth. Qinling was undoubtedly Qinling, or Gar Qinling, and was regarded as the number one confidant of the Tang Dynasty. Who wouldn't want this?
Li Wei thought too, so he said, "Let her come in."
Lu did not come in for a while. Unlike the last time when the cloth-dressing skirt, this time it was dressed neatly and even luxuriously. It was a long red silk dress with rich symmetrical beads on the skirt. There were many exquisite patterns with Tubo characteristics among the patterns, occasionally dotted with some golden silk. People on the plateau were not afraid of the cold, the fabric was very thin, and they were soft and tightly attached to their bodies. A black silk belt was hanging around their waists, and some small jade pendants were hanging. Under their feet were a pair of exquisite black boots with delicate strips on their heads. Like other Tubo people, they tied their hair into small braids, but some gold and jade jewelry were inserted on them.
No need to disguise, restore your original behavior and temperament.
In short, Li Wei's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, the ugly duckling has turned into a swan."
Wu Lu was not angry, and cheered, saying, "That's because your Han family is ignorant. This princess is the most beautiful flower on the snow field."
This is the nature of the Tubo people, but Bier vomited in her heart and thought, she really didn't know how to be polite, and she could say such shameless words.
Wu Lu looked at it again and said, "Are these your princesses?"
Then he smiled and bent over.
Although I have read many books since I was a child, I am not very clear about the system of the Tang Dynasty. Li Wei’s wives and concubines cannot be regarded as princesses, either the crown princess, or Liangdi, Liangyuan, etc. Only Li Xian, Li Xian or other princes’ genuine wives can be regarded as princesses.
This is also a matter of Li Wei's hatred. It's good. Finally, there are three wives or concubines. Except Bier, the other two are not mentioned. But he didn't say it, saying, "Isn't your Zanpu also much older than you?"
"That's different," Wei Lu pointed to the angry Wei Yue again and laughed again.
"I'm a little girl, I've been by my side since I was a child. When I grow up, I will have a good relationship, but I'm not like you. Zanpu actually lets you go to the lonely army. If it weren't for the lonely army's strict discipline, I don't know what would happen. I'll let you go to our Tang Dynasty again..." Li Wei shook his head.
"Is it the golden-wire bird locked in a cage that is enviable, or is the eagle flying freely in the blue sky that is longing for? Prince, I won't tell you anymore, and I mean to go to the army. Zanpu didn't know, I just thought I went to Erhai Lake to take a look. I came to your Chang'an, but it was your appointment. How dare I not go to the appointment?"
Li Wei frowned. This sentence was a bit ambiguous. It was not someone else, a Tubo or a princess, and there would be a lot of discussion when it was heard. He didn't like *** yet. He pointed to the letter on the table and asked directly: "What does this mean?"
When talking about the important matters, Wulu immediately looked at several people in the hall.
Li Wei waved his hand and asked Bier and others to retreat. Even the several Tubo servants brought by the Wulu family retreated at the same time. Wulu family said, "This year I have caused you to suffer."
"Or how can you let the general suffer?" The soldiers were ill-intentioned, but now the Wulu family is still a little tender, so they can see through it with Pei Xingjian at a glance. If she succeeds, she will not mention her failure in the southern expedition, and the entire Nanzhao will be decayed.
"Then I'll be very happy."
"Let's talk about the serious matter," Li Wei didn't want to tease her anymore.
"I came here this time, but I took the initiative to ask for it. In the words of your Chinese, I asked you to volunteer. The one who got into evil with your Chinese was not Zanpu, but Gar Dongzan Yusong (Lu Dongzan) and his son."
"Why did you appear in my army, why did your Tubo army appear in Yaozhou?"
"Erhai is not the world of your Han family, but the world of each emperor."
"Erhai is not the world of our Tang Dynasty, but it is not the world of your Tubo. Even if not, why did your Tubo army appear in Yaozhou?"
"It's not Yaozhou either. We Tubo didn't want to capture Yaozhou either. We couldn't take it. If your Han family didn't send troops, we Tubo would also withdraw our troops."
"That's true. When all the property of the people in Yaozhou is abducted by your Tubo generals, there will be a barren land left, and you will naturally retreat."
"That's because your Han family is rich, or you go to our Tubo to snatch it."
"It's not robbery, it's governance. One day, our Tang army will enter your city and govern it for you Tubo people."
"You think beautifully..."
Without a word of speculation, Wulu's eyes widened, but Li Wei was drinking tea leisurely. He was angry for a while and when he met this slow man, Wulu's Wuzhi was no longer there. After all, he came to ask for help. He angrily snatched Li Wei's teacup, took a big sip, and said, "Is this your way to treat guests?"
"When a friend comes, he has wine and meat, and when an enemy comes, he has swords and guns. This is the lonely way of treating guests. Princess, drinking other people's tea, is not good."
"I like it," Wulu knocked the teacup on the table angrily, and said, "Zanpu is not the enemy of your Han family, the enemy of your Han family is the Gar and his son."
Li Wei didn't want to explain it, so he said angrily: "Without your Zanpu's order, the Gar and his son dared to invade the Western Regions and Tuyuhun, and your Tubo army dared to enter Nanzhao?"
"Crown Prince, this is a bad statement. Tubo is not your Han system, and the royal power is highly concentrated. When Songtsen Gampo, the minister Qiongbao Bangse was preparing to set up a tent in the wooden castle of Chibang, and waited for Songtsen to enter the banquet to kill the treason with poisonous wine. This was what happened when the wise Zanbu. Later, Dongzan learned about the secret report, and Bangse committed suicide and apologized. Then Gar Dongzan's territory Song gained power, Songtsen entrusted his or her to hand over Zanpu. However, he did not expect that... Now all the systems and regimes of Tubo are controlled by their father and son. They have nothing to do with your Tang Dynasty." There is nothing to say later. Nanzhao and his party, some ministers close to Zanpu, tried to make achievements again and defeat the Tang army. It would be best to capture Li Wei alive. In this way, they could suppress the Lun family and regain power in the royal family. However, they lost miserably.
Strictly speaking, the Tang Dynasty won a great victory in Nanzhao, killing countless enemies, and Tubo only had more than 10,000 soldiers. However, it was a big blow to Tubo. Tubo claimed to be 400,000, and many of them were from various tribes. Some of them were very dissatisfied with the Tubo regime. Even some powerful ministers and families in Tubo had the idea of replacing the royal family. As the territory expanded, the 400,000 was divided into four places. It could not be like before, farming and grazing in leisure and fighting in wartime, which was also a great burden on Tubo. Of course, the Western Regions of Tuyuhun Dangxiang could be completely digested, and a stronger Tubo would come. But this is impossible. For example, the Tang Dynasty's policies were relatively gentle, and each governed its subordinates, rebelled and surrendered, and did not mention the high-pressure policy of Tubo. Therefore, it is necessary to restore some vitality and fight again.
But this time, the sum was the second time earlier than in history, which is not the reason.
This more than 10,000 soldiers were not only elite soldiers of Tubo, but most of them were from tribal children who were loyal to the royal family. After the great defeat, the power of the royal family was further weakened. At the same time, this great defeat was in contrast to the great victory of Lun Qinling, which made the Lun family more prestige.
Even Mangsong Mangzan felt pressure this time. Moreover, Lun Dongzan is the son of Uncle Songtsen Gampo Lu Guosong, and he is also the royal family. Therefore, after returning this time, he was furious at Garmangdazbo, and even scolded Wulu. Not only that, Mangsong Mangzan has no son to this day, which is also a hidden danger.
Therefore, this time the peace request is second to see if it can be established with the Tang Dynasty. Both sides work together to find an opportunity to kill Lun Qinling. Of course, this is a killing at the lowest cost. It is impossible to compensate Lun Qinling alone for Lun Qinling. You can even make an agreement with the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty supports it, such as discussing peace, and marrying again, you can withdraw the Tubo army, allow some of the rights of Tuyuhun to return the four towns in the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty.
These cannot be said on the table. After thinking about it, there is no reliable candidate. At this time, the Wulu family volunteered and came to Chang'an. The request for peace was needed by Tubo. The Wulu family was young and Mang Song and Mangzan were favored by others. They secretly came to Chang'an. Even if the Lu family knew about it, they would not doubt it.
But Wulu clan was not easy to meet Li Zhi, so he had to follow Li Wei's path.
"Wouldn't this be even better? You can bite the Tubo and coax yourself inside. This is the very happy thing for our Tang Dynasty."
"Crown Prince, I am a Tubo native. I know a little bit about your Han culture. You are the Prince Ren. You have read a lot of books and are knowledgeable. Don't use pronunciation." Wulu was a little angry, but he asked for it. After enduring it, he continued: "I came here sincerely. The warlike Lun family presided over our Tubo family. Not only did our Tubo people suffer, but your Tang Dynasty could not be better. When we arrived at your Tang territory, we could capture a lot of supplies and use war to support the war. However, your Tang Dynasty army could not enter the abdomen of our Tubo because of the high land. Even in Wuhai and other places, it was a bitter and cold place, and it was useless to get it, and there was no material to harvest. Besides, the war was the Lun brothers, and the situation of the Dafeichuan war would still occur."
"Princess, you are wrong. In the Battle of Dafeichuan, you Tubo won for many reasons. Our generals of the Tang army lost a little. I didn't expect that the remaining tribes in Tuyuhun would assist you Tubo at two points. General Xue underestimated the enemy, and even had many swamps in Dafeichuan, and many places were not clear. The lonely army went deeper, three points. The weak army was against many troops. The height of the land was only one aspect." Not only these five points, the Tuyuhun tribe who was close to the Tang Dynasty retreated.
The tribes left behind were all close to Tubo, and they lost their human harmony. The Tang Dynasty suffered many disasters over the years, and their vitality was somewhat damaged. Another point was that the soldiers were not long-term soldiers at the beginning of the founding of the country. The tax-free land of the government soldiers was reduced or even lost. Military service was not a reward, but a burden to the people. The soldiers' confidence in fighting was not as excited as the original, and the general's ability was more powerful. Xue Rengui's strategy was slightly below the Qinling Tomb. It was hard to say what was later.
When Li Wei was bored, he arranged the command abilities of these generals. It cannot be said that Xue Rengui is brave but not wise, and has outstanding command abilities. However, his fighting style relies on his own courage and likes to go deep into the army alone, either win or lose. However, after comparing his combat effectiveness during the East, he is not much worse than Li Ji. It should be said that Qinling is under Li Jing, and may be similar to his grandfathers Li Shimin, Li Ji, Hou Junji and others, and is slightly above Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui. In short, he is a very good person.
After a pause, he said, "Don't say that the height of the ground is natural. The so-called height of the ground is. The Sui Yuanxie defeated Fengli Mountain and defeated Tuyuhun in a battle. He Lou Zigan, Changsun Chi, Yuwen Shu and others defeated Tuyuhun several times, and then let Emperor Yang of Sui destroy the country. When the Sui and Tang Dynasties changed, Tuyuhun was restored again, but Li Jing and Hou Junji defeated Tuyuhun again. The army once arrived at Han Huishan Mountain and Baihai, but there was no obstacle to the terrain."
Wulu smiled sly and said, "Crown Prince, don't deceive yourself. That's Tuyuhun. Now that we have our Tubo, the situation is different. Besides, can you find a god of war like Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Even if you can't find it, you will come to our Tang Dynasty and see with your own eyes that our Tang Dynasty is vast and has a large population. However, your Tubo tribes are not sincerely convinced, and each minister has different hearts. There is also the power of Dongzan and his son. One has gone up and the other has risen, and the demise is just around the corner."
"really?"
"Let's wait and see."
"Crown Prince, this is not the final word. But I tell you that Zanpu's vision is just the snowy field in our Tubo, where the mountains are high and the waters are clear, and the people are simple. His heart and mind are not in your Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun, Nanzhao, and Western Regions, and you can talk about it. Zanpu is not disgusted with your Tang Dynasty, but the one who disgusted with Dongzan and his son. But I saw the letter I wrote, "Wulushi shook the letter.
In fact, Li Wei was also guilty. Tubo was defeated again, and more people could not understand the trends. However, Li Wei knew that the historical trends did not change. Just at Lunqinling, the Tang army almost lost nearly 400,000 people in the three battles. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the most troops were launched. When the *** conquest, it only used 300,000 troops. This was over twenty years. If so many soldiers were lost in one go, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to bear it.
According to Li Wei's idea, even if 50,000 soldiers were used to exchange for Qinling's life, it would probably be worth it.
He heard some words and said, "You are..."
Wulu's future intention was said once. He didn't say it all, he said the general meaning.
In other words, if there is a exchange, with the cooperation of the Tubo royal family and the joint efforts of the two countries, it is probably no problem to kill Lunqinling. As long as Lunqinling is lured to the border, no matter which side kills it, it will eventually be borne by the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, Lun Dongzan is still alive, and there are four other sons, all of whom are romantic figures at the moment. If they don’t blame the Tang Dynasty, even if they are Mang Song, Mangzan will not dare to bear the consequences. Among the five sons of Lun Dongzan, Lun Qinling poses the greatest threat to the royal family. Lun Dongzan is old and sick, and will not live for a few years. Once Lun Qinling is eliminated, the threats of the Gar family will be reduced immediately and the royal family will be stable. This is a win-win situation.
Just like Yue Fei later, he shouted to welcome the return of the two emperors Hui and Qin every day, which made Emperor Gaozong of Song upset, which was also one of the causes of Yue Fei's death. Although a large territory is a good thing, the territory is not his own, so he would carefully consider it. Similar things happened many times in the history of the Han people, as emperors, the Tubo people were no exception.
Therefore, with the following conditions, the Western Regions became the chicken ribs of Tubo. If you eat it tasteless, you can exchange for the stability of the royal family and some benefits. You can let go. Rebuilding Tuyuhun for good does not mean that Tubo will give up, it is quite like the later ones that left out of disputes and jointly developed. It is not from Tubo, nor from the Tang Dynasty. But it is beneficial to Tubo. After all, the Tuyuhun left behind is a tribe close to Tubo, and it is only taken back overnight. The Tang Dynasty also had some benefits, and it was a fight for face. Besides, Tubo still has conditions, and the Tang Dynasty must agree to peace and marriage.
These are not what Li Wei values, but what he values is Lunqinling.
