I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said seriously,

"No, the first thing we need to consider is how to protect ourselves!"

Everyone was stunned when the words came out. Although the little noble just said something scary, in fact, what they were most worried about was that the other party suddenly appeared and gave them a shot. Wang Cheng came, that was too unrealistic, how could it be possible.

Lu Dongzan took a look at the faces of the people, sighed deeply, saluted Songtsen Gampo, and said seriously,

"Judging from the details I asked just now. First of all, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has come to the border, and not only he is here, but also the miraculous King Qin Zhang Nuo!"

The shadow of a famous tree, the two mentioned by Lu Dongzan just now, one is the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Empire, and the other is the magical commander who forcibly destroyed Goryeo by himself. When the name was mentioned, everyone gasped unconsciously, but Lu Dongzan hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Moreover, their arrival not only shows that they are determined to win Tubo this time, but also shows that there is a big problem with the Turks. It is even very likely that our Turkic friends have already been destroyed at this time!"

If the previous news was that firecrackers were set off in the royal court of Tubo, then the inference that Lu Dongzan said afterwards is equivalent to throwing a grenade directly in the royal court.

The news was so shocking that Songtsan Gampo and others were all stunned at this moment, and they didn't know what attitude to take to face the news.

You know, from the moment they joined forces with the Turks to launch an offensive against Datang, they knew very well that none of them could face a powerful Datang alone.

But now Lu Dongzan infers that the Turks have been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. Doesn't that mean that Tubo will soon face the Tang Dynasty with all its strength?

But now that Datang's entry into Tubo has been opened, does it mean that there will be a steady stream of Datang soldiers coming in along this passage?

The news was so shocking that even Songtsen Gampo, who respected Lu Dongzan very much, couldn't help but question,

"Teacher, why do you make such an inference? It's a Turk. Jieli Khan has nearly [-] cavalry under his command. How could it be destroyed so quickly?"

Lu Dongzan didn't care about Songtsan Gampo's rebuttal at all, and it wasn't the time to care about these things. Instead, he said with a look of sadness on his face,

"Zanpu, do you think that if the Turks had not been completely destroyed, what made the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of Qin, who were conquered by the emperor, take the time to visit the small town on the border of Tubo?"

Chapter 717 Lu Dongzan's Speculation

As soon as Lu Dongzan's words came out, everyone was speechless, even though they wanted to come up with various reasons to refute, but the moment they said it, they honestly held back.

Although they were very reluctant to admit it, they all knew that Datang had never seriously taken Tubo's side seriously!

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the military strength here, at most it is less than 3 people like it is now.

But on the Turkic side, according to the information they got, there were 20 soldiers alone, including [-] cavalry who had withdrawn from Korea, and these were only soldiers, not including auxiliary soldiers.

If these military forces turned their heads and pressed on Tubo, let alone the plateau qi disease, they could be killed by piles of people alone.

Moreover, in fact, they are very clear that the so-called qi disease is just that people cannot adapt to it for a while, as long as they stay for a period of time, not to mention fully adapting, but at least it can greatly alleviate this situation.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty's terrifying military power, abundant food and grass, and excellent military equipment will all have to be experienced by Tubo.

Thinking of these things makes people feel desperate from the bottom of their hearts!

However, those who can grow up in the big wind and waves are not simple people, let alone a top figure like Lu Dongzan who can assist Songtsan Gampo to unify Tubo in one fell swoop and lead Tubo to develop.

He almost forced himself to calm down and think carefully about the information he had just obtained, hoping to find some information that he hadn't discovered before, and try his best to find a trace of life in Tubo.

Time passed slowly in this silence.At this time, not only the other courtiers, but even Songtsan Gampo became anxious. After all, he was just a boy in his early ten years old at this time.

Perhaps he is already very good compared to his peers, but his age limits his experience and knowledge. Compared with Lu Dongzan, he lacks the heart to face difficulties and hardships.

Seeing that Lu Dongzan sat on the sidelines silently after finishing his speech, Songtsan Gampo finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly,

"Teacher, what should we do? If we don't think about a solution, maybe the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will descend from the sky with an army!"

Songtsan Gampo said this very bluntly, but in terms of status, after all, he is Tubo's Zanpu. No matter how Lu Dongzan is his teacher, no matter how outstanding and intelligent he is, he is still his subordinate , It is understandable to say so.

Kelu Dongzan didn't care about Songtsan Gampo's tone of voice at all, but murmured,

"Army?"

"Dropped from the sky?"

"The army descended from the sky?"

Suddenly, Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly,

"I understand, I understand what's wrong!"

Everyone was stunned. Lu Dongzan's words had no beginning and no end. The others didn't know what he was talking about at all, but judging by his happy look, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.

At this time, Songtsan Gampo is the only one to come forward, he asked cautiously,

"President, have you discovered Datang's weakness?"

Lu Dongzan also recovered now, apparently he could find Datang's purpose and the truth of this incident from the clues, which made him feel much better at this time, he saluted Songtsan Gampo, Then he said seriously,

"Zanpu, I always felt that the arrival of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty was very strange. After all, even if they destroyed the Turks, there was no need to come here in such a hurry!"

"But I haven't figured out why they came here. After all, we have too little information, but I figured it out just now. I finally figured out the purpose of Emperor Tang and King Qin coming here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was shifted to Lu Dongzan, which was actually what everyone was thinking about in their hearts just now.

In fact, everyone here understands that whenever Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo come together, it shows that Datang has taken Tubo seriously enough, but if these two come together, Tubo will not only be surprised but frightened.

But they couldn't figure out what the problem was, but now Lu Dongzan heard the same information as them, but Lu Dongzan figured it out. Although what Lu Dongzan said may not be right, but At least Lu Dongzan has an idea, right?

It is much better than they are still struggling in confusion one by one.

Lu Dongzan's explanation did not stop because of other people's emotions, he still spoke in a calm and usual manner,

"We overlooked one of the most crucial clues, that is, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and King Qin of the Tang Dynasty did not come with a large army, but came with a device that can fly in the sky, and that device can launch attacks from the sky! "

"Then, here comes the question, if Datang really wants to destroy Tubo, shouldn't it be to mobilize a large army?

So the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, even if they wanted to conquer in person, shouldn't they come with the army?Why did they come here first on that flying machine? "

"After thinking about it for a while, I probably know what Tang is thinking! They have no intention of mobilizing troops to destroy Tubo at this time!"

"Otherwise, they can let other people come by that flying machine. I believe that it can still be used without the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty sitting on it!"

"Then the only explanation is that they just used the flying machine as a means of transportation and came here in a hurry, but what kind of mission can bother the two top figures of Datang?"

"I've thought about it, and combined with the information about the battle I got before, there is only one explanation. Datang intends to use that flying machine to blow us up in Tubo King City alone, and then force us to negotiate!"

"Only such a task can make the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty not hesitate to come here, because they are not here to fight at all, but to bully or teach others!"

At the end of Lu Dongzan's speech, his tone inevitably dropped, because if this was the truth, it would be too cruel to Tubo.

Their opponents actually planned to use only a few dozen or so people to force them to bow their heads and give in, but the most ironic thing is that they really seem to have only one way to go!

Because they couldn't find any way or measure to fight against the flying machine in the sky, let alone found it, they couldn't even think about how to deal with it.

Perhaps, Tubo really has only the last way to go!

Chapter 718 Tubo's Response

What Lu Dongzan said was a complete stab in the heart of Tubo monarchs and ministers!

Everyone suddenly felt that their hearts were pulled cold and cold!

It's not that no one wanted to refute, and wanted to say that it might not be the case, but when the words came to their lips, they couldn't say anything.

In fact, everyone knew that no matter what Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, the two top figures in the Tang Dynasty, came to Tubo, no matter whether they planned to blow up the Tubo royal city from the sky, it was meaningless at this time.

Because no matter what they want to do, before the army of the Tang Dynasty and this magical tool, Tubo has no power to resist, let alone resist, it is very good that Tubo can withstand it without being hammered to death.

How sad this is, you must know that just a day ago, they were still thinking about how to cut off a piece of meat from Datang with great interest.

Even the most optimistic ones are already discussing how to negotiate with Datang to get some benefits.

But the world is unpredictable, the time of turning around, Datang is about to approach the city.

I don't know who couldn't hold it anymore, or was really scared, and started to sob softly. This made Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan's faces darken, and they wanted to say something but finally changed. It became a deep sigh.

The entire resplendent palace fell into deep silence at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, as if a century had passed by everyone, finally someone spoke with a hoarse voice,

"Great Prime Minister, no matter whether the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty intend to visit the Royal City in person, the damned airship will probably come to the Royal City after all. So, how should we deal with it? From the current point of view, We have no way to deal with it!"

Hearing this question, Lu Dongzan slowly raised his head. On the face that was originally in high spirits, there was no half of the usual appearance of Zhizhu holding his hand, and all that was left was a haggard face. When he was about to speak, he thought of something again, so he gave a wry smile and closed his mouth. After hesitating for a while, he said slowly,

"I don't know the gap between the Great Tang and my Tubo, but as I said, since the Great Tang has not mobilized an army, it proves that at present, the Great Tang is not ready to fight against my Tubo. ready!"

Speaking of this, Lu Dongzan shook his head, and then denied what he just said,

"No, it cannot be said that the Great Tang was not prepared for a life-and-death struggle, but in the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Tang and King Qin of the Great Tang, there is no need for a life-and-death struggle to force me to submit to Tubo. what!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were full of bitterness and sadness. Indeed, if Tubo could be crushed easily, who would bother to send out such an army!

However, Lu Dongzan’s words have not been finished yet. After all, he is an elite figure who came out of Tubo every few hundred years. Perhaps the information and analysis just now made him a little bit uncontrollable, but after he calmed down and analyzed, it was still a bit different after all. of something.

"Everyone, don't be intimidated by the situation in front of you. In fact, I, Tubo, still have a chance!"

Lu Dongzan's words were like putting down a life-saving rope in front of the dying person, instantly causing a gleam of light in the eyes of everyone present.

Lu Dongzan will not hide it at this time.After all, no matter how respected he is, whether he is Zanpu's teacher or Tubo Prime Minister, he is only a member of Tubo after all, and his life will be difficult if Tubo is gone.

"Everyone, think about it. It seems that the Tang Dynasty did not have a large army to suppress the territory. It seems to us that just relying on a flying ship, and the titles of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty to make me admit it to Tubo. This kind of contempt, but why not our opportunity?"

"What does this mean? This means that between us and Datang, perhaps there is no deep hatred that must be wiped out like the Turks!"

"War, if it is not for the purpose of destroying the other side, then it will definitely come back to the negotiating table in the end. In the end, it is nothing more than considering the price that the losing party has to pay."

"If we have made such mental preparations in advance, can we follow this line of thinking and win some benefits for us?"

"Don't the Tang people save face? Didn't the Emperor of the Tang come here in person? Then give the Emperor the face of the Tang Dynasty, and you can give them those titles and even ceremonies that are not costly!"

"Because in this way, we have the opportunity and time to develop ourselves, and maybe we can even use this opportunity to gain something. After all, we are all so humble, and it is impossible for Datang to turn around Continue to attack us?"

After Lu Dongzan said these words, everyone was shocked, and in their hearts at this moment, they were really ups and downs like a river and a sea.

God, earth, thank you for the gift of God. They didn’t have any particularly sharp conflicts with Lu Dongzan or Zamp Songtsen Gampo who Lu Dongzan supported before. From the perspective of turning the situation of being beaten and defeated into a means of gaining benefits for Tubo in turn.

In the past, they were able to recover a life from Lu Dongzan, and they were not killed by shackles or cheated to death. They really had to rely on God's gift.

But on the other hand, everyone agrees with what Lu Dongzan said just now.

Don't look at Tubo as poor and run-down, it's such a horrible place, and the people at the bottom have been serfs for a long time and can't see the light of day. It seems that few people in the whole country are sober.

But in fact, anyone who can accompany the rise of a country, not to mention how amazing and talented, can definitely be called a smart person, because those who are not smart have long since died.

Therefore, everyone here understands what Lu Dongzan is talking about, that is to trade dignity for survival, to abandon the so-called face, to abandon the dignity of the country of Tubo, in exchange for a trace of being under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty. vitality.

They knew very well that this was a gamble, but Lu Dongzan had already explained the consequences. If the bet wins, maybe Datang will train Tubo as a younger brother, and then Tubo will be able to stay dormant and develop slowly. If the bet loses , the worst is to be beaten up, and I will be a dog for Datang in the future.

But no matter what, Tubo will definitely survive. This is what everyone firmly believes. Even if they are still worried in their hearts, they will force themselves to believe this.

Because, they really have no other way to go. If the result of burning jade and stone together is that the stone is destined to be burned, and there is nothing wrong with jade, then why can't the stone be more honest?

Chapter 719 Datang really came

Compared with the tension, sadness and other complicated emotions of the Tubo people, Li Shimin and others are much simpler.

This time, he came here to show his strength by beating someone up. Although the target of the beating was a country, to be honest, considering the things Zhang Nuo had at hand, going to Tubo King City was really bullying people.

It is only me who fights you, not you who fights me. Speaking of bullying Tubo, it is a bit against the rules, but there is no way. This is often the case between countries. What kind of friendship is easy to talk about.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo was wandering around the city right now, eating and drinking here and there.

No wonder he is so idle, there is really no way, Li Shimin and others are still slowly adapting to the climate on the plateau every day, the whole person is like frost beating eggplants.

Just like this, wouldn't it be that he lost his momentum when they met?

Therefore, Li Shimin pressed Zhang Nuo desperately to postpone the bombing that was supposed to start six days ago for another half a month.

Zhang Nuo was really speechless, he really didn't expect to stay in this poor place for so long!

Although he has good physical fitness and basically has no altitude sickness, it doesn't mean that he is happy to stay here.

After all, this place, to put it bluntly, is a border military city, most of the people are soldiers, and the rest are some border residents who do small business here.

In terms of ease and comfort, how can it be compared with Chang'an City and Lantian City?

But there’s no way around it. Lao Li’s bastard not only stays here by himself, but also pulls him up. In fact, before Zhang Nuo thought there was nothing wrong with this side, he planned to fly back to take a good rest for a few days, so he let Li Shimin Waiting for someone to adapt here!

In the end, this bastard, Old Li, was really rambunctious. He refused to let him go. He insisted that good brothers shared weal and woe. He had nothing to do with him, so he had to be dragged to adapt together.

In the end, it was here that he felt like he was going moldy!

However, he also gave Lao Li an ultimatum. For the last three days, he must either go to Tubo to do business, or he will fly back to Chang'an to stay. Lao Li, you can bring someone here to adapt.

Li Shimin didn't dare to quarrel with him when he heard this, he laughed a few times and agreed.

In fact, Li Shimin himself is having a hard time. Why does he drag Zhang Nuo to life and death? It's because he is really uncomfortable!
