Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1854 Yuanmeng sent envoys to visit Tubo

"My king, come to report the big talk, and Yuanmeng sent envoys to ask to see it!" Lu Dongzan, an important minister and counselor, strode forward to report.

Lu Dongzan, whose full name is Gar Dongzan, is definitely a great talent in the history of the plateau. The famous Tubo politician, military strategist and diplomat is a rare person capable of writing and martial arts .

Chinese classics believe that Tubo can become a powerful country thanks to the power of Lagar Dongzan.

"Old Tang Book" stated: "Although Gar Dongzan did not know the literature and records, he was serious in nature, taught soldiers and trained teachers, and was elegant and restrained. Tubo merged with the Qiangs, dominated the land, and had many schemes."

"New Tang Book" stated: "Gar Dongzan didn't know the book, he was resolute in nature, and he used his troops with restraint. Tubo relied on it, so it became a powerful country."

In this world, Lu Dongzan still became an important figure under Songtsan Gampo and one of Songtsan Gampo's right-hand men.

Songtsen Gampo established his country formally after his power expanded to a certain extent, and he did not call himself Zanpu, but called himself king like a big man. Even Songtsen Gampo thought that if he unified the whole country in the future After the plateau, he officially ascended the throne.

However, Yuanmeng's dispatch of envoys was too big a matter, and Tubo couldn't help but ignore it. Even Lu Dongzan, who was an important minister of Tubo, couldn't calm down at this time.

On the plateau, after all, the information channels are relatively closed. At this time, the plateau has not fully received the news that Li Xiang has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

But even so, in their impression, the most powerful force among the big men is the Jin army, and the most powerful force in the grassland is Yuanmeng.

Before Yuanmeng, Tubo was not something that Tubo could compete with. These Tubo people didn't even dare to think about the scene of hundreds of thousands of iron hooves.

Of course, the Tubo people attach great importance to it, but they are not afraid of Yuanmeng.

No matter how strong Yuan Meng is, what does it have to do with Tubo? Can it threaten them?
For one thing, there is still a Liangzhou between the grassland and the plateau. No matter how powerful you Yuanmeng is, there is an even more powerful Jin army blocking it!No matter how strong Yuan Meng is, he will never be able to threaten the Jin army.

Secondly, even if Yuan Meng can directly threaten Tubo, what's the use of that?

Are you kidding me, after the Yuanmeng iron cavalry climbed to the plateau, how many combatants are left out of the ten?Even, pessimistically speaking, how many of the ten people can make it through this trip alive?
The geographical advantage of the plateau is the greatest protection for Tubo!

If he could really ignore the plateau, Su Dingfang would not stop at the point when he conquered the Qiang, but really just kill the plateau!

Modern people have all kinds of equipment and facilities. After most people go to the plateau for the first time, they will have various problems due to various plateau reactions, let alone the large army battles in the ancient environment. up!
Therefore, Tubo attaches great importance to Yuanmeng, but is not afraid of Yuanmeng.

"Why do these Yuanmeng people come here? Could it be the Western Regions!" Songtsan Gampo casually threw the woman who was still in his arms aside.

The woman is just a spoil of war after he won the battle. As long as he can keep these spoils, he can have as much as he wants. To him, it is just a toy. May be abandoned by him at any time.

"My king, according to the news from Yuanmeng envoys, now that the great Han has been destroyed, Jin Wang Li Xiang has ascended the throne and established the Great Jin! The Jin army's war has basically ended, and only Xizhou is left. If you want to come to realize your dream, Facing the Jin army alone, it may be quite difficult for a family, so they came to form an alliance with me!" Lu Dongzan sighed a little.

A powerful dynasty that has been strong for hundreds of years has perished like this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The so-called Dalun is equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty. At present, Songtsan Gampo's seven sages are the one who ranks first.

"There is such a thing, quickly send someone to investigate!" Songtsan Gampo said in amazement.

For such a big matter, Songtsan Gampo must not believe what outsiders say.Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Songtsan Gampo will never believe this kind of thing, unless he is responsible for what he knows, at least he will not believe it completely.

The news on the plateau is really blocked. How can it be easy to climb the plateau at an altitude of 4000 meters to convey the news?
"My king! This matter should not be false, and Yuan Meng will not use this matter to deceive us!" Lu Dongzan said solemnly.

Not to mention such a big matter, there is no possibility of cheating at all.But at least more than [-]% would not use this kind of thing as a fake.The news on the plateau is actually blocked, but if they are lucky enough to find out, this kind of news can definitely be found out!
Therefore, there is no need at all to deceive them with this kind of news.

Furthermore, going to the plateau is troublesome after all, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and it will take a while for the men sent by Songtsan Gampo to check the news before returning.

Therefore, they at least have to make a plan.If this is true, where will they go?

"This matter! It's hard to handle!" Shang Jiezan's face was equally dignified.

This one is one of the top-ranked generals under Songtsan Gampo. He is well-known throughout the history of the plateau, and he is a brave and resourceful figure.

As a general, Shang Jiezan participated in many important military operations, such as the capture of Chang'an in 763.Later, Shang Jiezan became the second prime minister of Tubo. In 782, Tubo Zanpu Chisong Dezan appointed him as the prime minister to take charge of Tubo state affairs.

At the beginning of Shang Jiezan's administration, the relationship with the Tang Dynasty tended to ease. From 782 to 786, there was no military conflict between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.Under Shang Jiezan's planning, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty held two alliances, namely, the Qingshui Alliance and the Fengtian Alliance. The two sides summarized the history and re-divided the boundaries, expressing their desire to live in harmony in the future.

In 783, the Zhu Xi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Dezong fled Chang'an in a hurry, and the rule of the Tang Dynasty was in jeopardy.Tang Dezong asked Tubo for help, and Shang Jiezan also took the initiative to "please send troops to help Tang recover the capital".In the subsequent Battle of Wutingchuan, [-] Tubo elite soldiers assisted in the battle, and more than [-] rebels were killed.Since then, Shang Jiezan has repeatedly requested to agree a date with the Tang army to recover Chang'an, but due to the hot weather, the Tubo army was forced to retreat.

At first, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, Tang Dezong promised that if Tubo joined the war, he would hand over a large area of ​​northwest territory to Tubo.After the Battle of Wutingchuan, Tubo asked for land, but the Tang Dynasty broke the contract, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Tubo, and the relationship between the two regimes became tense again. In 786, "Tubo Shangjie praised the large-scale bandits in Jing, Long, Bin, and Ning, plundered people and livestock, plundered crops, and made a commotion in the West."

But at this time, there were so many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo didn't take much advantage.Shang Jiezan realized, "Tang's good generals, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, and Hun Yan are just ones, and they should be counted away." Therefore, Shang Jiezan carefully designed a set of reverse calculations, using the method of killing three birds with one stone to eliminate The three most powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty were lost at that time.First of all, Shang Jiezan pretended to seek peace and divided the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Li Sheng, who had made great achievements, firmly opposed the peace talks with Tubo. As a result, Tang Dezong was suspicious of him and was stripped of his military power.Then, Shang Jiezan planned the "Pingliang robbery alliance" to deceive the Tang Dynasty into saying that he wanted to form an alliance, but he backtracked and captured many generals of the Tang Dynasty, including Ma Sui's nephew.Afterwards, Tubo deliberately let Ma Sui's nephew go, which aroused Tang Dezong's vigilance, because Ma Sui advocated the alliance.

After that, Ma Sui was also abandoned by Tang Dezong and lost his military power.Hun Yu, who narrowly escaped death in the "Pingliang Tribulation League", also lost the emperor's trust and was no longer reused.So far, the three famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were all eliminated by Tubo in the form of anti-indirect tactics. Although they were not killed, they could no longer be reused by the emperor.

It can be seen that Shang Jiezan is indeed a scheming person.He has been keenly aware that next, they, Tubo, may fall into the cracks between the two major military groups.
