People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 920

Following Lu Dongzan to a tent, it became much warmer after entering the tent.

"It's a bit crude, don't take it for granted." Lu Dongzan sat down and said.

The decoration in the tent was very simple, there was soup boiling in a small clay stove, the soup was very cloudy, I saw Lu Dongzan filled two bowls.

Lu Dongzan put the soup in front of Daniel and said, "Please use it."

Looking at the cloudy soup, there is a thick layer of oil on top of the soup.

I lost my appetite just looking at it. Daniel didn't move the bowl, looked up at Lu Dongzan and said, "You didn't bring me to see Songtsan Gambo, you brought me here because you have something to say, and you I don't want Songtsen Gampo to know."

"Zanpu already knows that you are here." Lu Dongzan put his hands on his knees and said, "I really want to ask you something for bringing you here."

Daniel nodded, "Is it about the current situation in Tubo?"

Lu Dongzan did not deny, "At the beginning, the Western Turks suddenly raised troops to attack Tubo and the Eastern Turks. I still can't understand that the Western Turks invested so many people at that time, almost exhausting the country and exhausting all the population. After the war, the population of the Western Turks has now withered, and the Eastern Turks have never recovered.”

Daniel listened quietly.

The wind blew the curtains of the tent, and some snowflakes drifted in.

"At that time, I couldn't understand why the Western Turks did this. Now that I see the power of the Tang Dynasty, I understand everything."

Lu Dongzan breathed in the cold air and said, "All this is the conspiracy of Li Zheng and Li Shimin!"

Daniel smiled.

Lu Dongzan whispered, "What are you laughing at?"

Daniel cleared his throat and said, "I just followed the teacher back then, so I didn't experience what happened at that time, but it all started when Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou, and everything has already started since then."

Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly, "Prepare for a rainy day, count as a plan, take one step and see three steps, is this the wisdom of you Central Plains people?"

Daniel lowered his voice, "At that time, the First Battle of Yinshan had just ended. In fact, the Tang Dynasty at that time did not have enough national power to deal with Tuyuhun and you Tubo. All the courts were thinking about was a transit strategy. The Tang Dynasty needed to breathe. Opportunity, the time needed to recuperate the national strength, was also the time when Datang was weakest, but unfortunately you have missed that opportunity now."

Lu Dongzan asked: "Among them, Li Zheng has contributed a lot."

Daniu said: "Teacher has really put in a lot of effort, until your envoys come to court, all the plans have already started."

Lu Dongzan clenched his fists, his expression a little excited, "Conspiracy and calculation! He Li Zheng is so cruel that the tribes of the Western Turks are almost extinct. With such a strategy, no matter how many lives and bones outside the pass, they will not be able to bury them!"

Seeing his agitated expression, Daniel quietly took out an explosive and held it in his hand. If the situation was wrong, he would throw the explosive into the fire.

It took a while for Lu Dongzan to recover from his excitement, "In the words of you people from the Central Plains, it's regrettable."

Daniel already had gunpowder in his hand, "Then have you been fooled?"

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "We were led by Li Zheng from the very beginning. We were not equipped to deal with any conspiracy."

"That's it." Daniel said again: "Compared with you outside the Guanzhong, the people in our Guanzhong are more eager to learn. The words left by the sages from ancient times to the present have always been passed down. Sometimes we should be more humble and learn more from others. , Look more at the behavior of others, this is the essence of our eagerness to learn, and it is also the wisdom we have passed down all the time."

The angry expression on his face gradually disappeared, and Lu Dongzan said: "You are right, you have the art of war, the strategy of governing the country, and great wisdom."

"But look at what Zanpu is doing now?" Lu Dongzan said weakly: "Zanpu is with the monk all day long, reciting scriptures all day long, good Tubo Zanpu, now But it became like this."

Daniel looked in the direction of the Potala Palace, and the Potala Palace could be seen when the cold wind blew the curtain.

"How ambitious Zanpu was at the beginning. Zanpu would recruit warriors to fight, but now Zanpu makes young people become monks and chant scriptures all day long." Lu Dongzan covered his face and said: "The current Zanpu has absolutely no intention of strengthening Tubo, nor does he have the idea of ​​accumulating national power. The king is not like a king, who does not think about progress and chants scriptures all day long. What kind of future does such a Tubo have!"

Daniel let out a long sigh, "At the time, the court also had such considerations when investigating Buddhism."

Lu Dongzan said: "If this continues, Tubo will be doomed. It doesn't matter if our Tubo warriors suffer a little bit, everyone can endure hardship. But without fighting spirit, there is nothing, nothing."

While talking, Lu Dongzan bowed to Daniel, "I know you are Li Zheng's disciple, you have great powers!"

Ludong praised Tubo for saluting, which surprised Daniel, "What are you doing? How can you salute me as the prime minister of Tubo?"

"I know you are very powerful. You can lead 1000 people to conquer Gaochang Kingdom. You can even stop Dashi's more than [-] troops. You can also save Tubo, right?" Lu Dongzan bowed and said.

"It can change the result but not the heart. You should understand such a simple truth." Daniel said to Lu Dongzan.

"That's true." Lu Dongzan said discouragedly.

"I can block the army of Dashi, but I'm just an ordinary person."

Lu Dongzan still sat where he was.

Daniel stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Lu Dongzan didn't reply.

Daniel turned around and left the camp.

It was very cold when the snowflakes hit the face with the wind.

Daniel looked at the Tibetans coming and going from the Potala Palace, and sometimes thought about how difficult it is for these people to live.

Looking back at Lu Dongzan's camp, unknowingly, after so many years, the Tubo Prime Minister who once dared to stand upright on the court hall has now fallen into such a state.

Everything has changed a lot in just ten years.

Having never experienced the things of the previous generation, Daniel couldn't understand them, and he was very grateful that he was born in the Central Plains and didn't have to experience things outside the customs.

In fact, the future that Lu Dongzan does not know will be even more difficult.

Songtsan Gampo pledged a large tract of land to Datang for the reinforcement of Tubo.

These lands are real Tubo lands.

Most Tibetans make a living by grazing herds. For them, the land is their everything. Without the land, there is no place to graze.

Perhaps this is also what the teacher values.

At that time, the relationship between the Tubo herdsmen and the Central Plains is still unknown.

All Daniel can think of is the hopeless future of Tubo.

Let's talk about war again, does the teacher really care about the arms sale?
After making black powder with his own hands, Daniel deeply understood that once gunpowder entered the war, the war at that time would not be the same as the war now.
