Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2441 Internal Solution
At the beginning of February, Songtsen Gampo finally led his troops back to the Tubo royal city.

At this time of year, Chang'an City should already be in full bloom.

But here, there is still a deep chill, and there will be heavy snow from time to time for a day or two.

It has been snowy this year, but the situation in Tubo has not changed at all.

And based on their past experience, this situation may continue for another two months before it ends.

When early summer comes, they will see some warmth.

However, although it is only two months, it is not something that can be easily survived.

The situation in Tubo is very bad. They lack food and clothing. It is difficult for many people to support them for a day or two.

Since the snowstorm came, many people in Tubo have died.

And these people gathered around the royal city, creating a large number of refugees.

The existence of these refugees made the Tubo royal city very unstable.

Songtsan Gampo also sent people here to rescue the disaster, but the court's food and grass were almost running out, so how could it be an easy task to help them?

More and more refugees are pouring in, but they cannot get the assistance they deserve.

The complaints of the people are very heavy.

After Songtsan Gampo returned to Beijing, his face was very ugly.

"Damn, hate..."

Originally, they wanted to solve the current problem, but the problem was not solved. Instead, they lost more than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. With so many soldiers and horses, it makes people feel distressed to think about it.

Many people died in the disaster, many soldiers died in the war, and the death of so many people made the situation in Tubo very bad. Without people, the country would not be strong enough or stable enough.

Songtsan Gampo was anxious and worried.

This morning, some officials talked about the refugees outside. They said that the relief provided by the court was getting less and less. to their attack.

But in the face of these attacks, the people in their court have nothing to do.

In the early morning, the officials said many things, and each of them was very disturbing.

In the imperial study room, Songtsan Gampo walked back and forth. He was really anxious. He felt that the foundation of Tubo should be very solid. It is impossible for a small snowstorm to collapse like this, right?

Datang also encounters various disasters every year, but why do they have nothing to do?

Is it because they are not strong enough in Tubo?

Songtsan Gampo's eyes were fixed, and he couldn't help biting his lips. This strength is not good enough. Once encountering an impact, the ability to resist is much smaller.

"Come here, Xuan Erbao."

Er Bao is a counselor of Songtsan Gampo. This counselor is from Tang Dynasty, but he failed in the Tang Dynasty, so he came to Tubo to survive. Back then, Songtsan Gampo thought he was talented and strategic, so he left him behind. By my side.

However, most of the time, Songtsan Gampo would not ask him about the situation, but now the situation in Tubo is critical, and their enemy is the Tang Dynasty, so, asking such a person from Tang Dynasty, maybe there will be unexpected results, right?
Not long after Songtsan Gampo gave his instructions, some palace servants called Er Bao over.

He is a very thin man with small eyes, but he doesn't feel treacherous. He is the kind of person who can give people a good impression at a glance.

After coming to the imperial study room, Erbao saluted and said, "I don't know what Zanpu ordered me to come here for?"

Songtsan Gampo glanced at Erbao and said, "Do you know the current situation in Tubo?"

Er Bao nodded: "I know."

"Then what do you think about the current situation? How can I, Tubo, survive the crisis in front of me?"

The second treasure was silent, and did not rush to answer. Seeing the second treasure like this, Songtsan Gampo suddenly felt a little disappointed. This second treasure might not be able to solve it. Among his many advisers, this second treasure has never been considered A top strategist, if you ask him this, he probably doesn't know.

Songtsan Gampo couldn't help sighing, manpower is exhausted, and so is brain power, a person is only capable of so much, if you exceed this capacity, even if you kill him, he will not be able to do some things.

However, just after Songtsan Gampo sighed, Erbao said: "Zanpu, I don't know how to solve the current situation in Tubo, but I know that if Datang encounters this situation, they will How to solve."

Hearing this, Songtsan Gampo suddenly became hopeful again. Datang had encountered various disasters before, and they succeeded. If they copied it, would they also be able to succeed?
"If it was Datang, what would they do if they encountered this situation?"

Erbao said: "If it is difficult for Datang to relieve disasters, they have two ways to do disaster relief. One is external. Zanpu has already used this externally. It is to use foreign troops to plunder the wealth of other countries to make them The people of their own country have overcome the difficulties, but unfortunately, Zanpu failed."

When he said this, Er Bao didn't seem to be worried that his words would hurt Songtsan Gampo, it was already at this time, what else did he have to worry about?
He believed that as long as Songtsan Gampo wanted to solve the current predicament of Tubo, he would not do anything to himself.

And that's exactly what happened.

Songtsen Gampo didn't care about what he said at all, he just wanted to know Datang's second method.

"The second thing is that internally, in order to help the people of Datang, some people in power in Datang will not hesitate to take the initiative to the wealthy businessmen of Datang, and even some dignitaries. In fact, Zanpu also felt that It is very clear, do we really have no food in Tubo? No, we do have food in Tibet, but the food is concentrated in the hands of a few people in power. , Therefore, Zanpu would rather use troops abroad than attack these people, but now, Tubo's country is very dangerous. If the people can't get over the difficulties as soon as possible, then when the Tang army kills us, the cohesion of our Tubo will be reduced Can not be done."

Having said this, Erbao stopped, but Songtsan Gampo couldn't help but let out a sigh. What Erbao said was right, and he also knew that the rich and powerful in Tubo had food and money, but Xiang These people will have a very bad impact on the stability of Tubo, because these people control too many things.

Many of them are tribal leaders. Is it feasible for you to plunder them?
But what Er Bao said was right, Tubo was already in dire straits, if he could not stabilize those people as soon as possible, then what happened next would definitely be out of his control.
