Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2456
Yu Jiang is Xu Jian.

After those Tubo tribes surrendered to Songtsan Gampo one after another, Xu Jian came up with another way to disturb the inside of Tubo.

And if you want to disturb the interior of Tubo, there are some things that you need this second treasure to do.

He knew that Erbao liked to recruit Han Chinese as counselors, so after he sneaked into Tubo King City, he found a chance to enter Erbao's mansion.

And became a counselor that Erbao attached great importance to.

When he came to the living room, Erbao was already waiting.

"Second Master, what's the matter?"

Xu Jian asked, Erbao glanced at him, and said, "Have you heard the news that Gancheng was breached by the Tang army?"

Xu Jian nodded, and said, "I've heard about it. The Tang army seems to be much stronger."

Erbao nodded and said: "Yes, Tang Jun is much stronger than we imagined. For this matter, Zanpu has already started to ask those tribal leaders for peace. I hope they can lend a helping hand. What do you think about this? No?"

Erbao pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "The strength of Tubo is still very strong. If those tribal leaders can join forces, it is not hopeless to repel the Tang army. It's just that Zanpu offended those tribes before and wanted to let those tribes If the leader makes a move, I'm afraid they will open their mouths and make a lot of demands, and even if they make a move, Zanpu will also bleed heavily."

This is exactly what Erbao is worried about. He doesn't care if Songtsan Gampo will bleed profusely. What he is really worried about is that the leaders of those Tubo tribes will take Erbao's life. The rich and powerful were brutally slaughtered.

Those tribes were badly damaged by it, and they hated themselves.

However, in front of Xu Jian, Er Bao didn't reveal this, he just nodded and said: "You are right, then do you have any good suggestions that can save Zanpu from begging those tribes The leader will be able to resist the Tang army."

This is a difficult problem, and it is also the question that Er Bao wanted to ask Xu Jian the most when he called Xu Jian.

Xu Jian thought for a moment, then said: "The Tang army is powerful. There are only [-] troops in Wangcheng. It is not easy to stop the Tang army. If we can increase the number of troops, there is great hope."

"How can we increase the number of soldiers and horses without asking those Tubo tribes for help?"

Xu Jian smiled and said: "Second Master, you have been in Tubo for many years, and you should know the situation in Tubo very well. There are actually quite a few people in Tubo, but most of them are slaves. , but no one can deny that they are also human beings, but the rich and powerful in Tubo do not treat them as human beings. If Songtsan Gampo treats these slaves as human beings and gives them a chance to be human beings, would you say that these slaves would To fight against Tibet?"

Er Bao's expression changed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean?"

"Announce a decree to give those slaves a chance. As long as they can make meritorious service on the battlefield, they can be exempted from their slave status, and they can be given land, houses, etc., so that they can enjoy the same rights as Tubo people."

Hearing this, Er Bao clicked his tongue a little.

Then he took a cold breath and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy. The slavery system is already deeply rooted in the bones of the Tibetans. It may not be easy for them to give up the slavery system."

Many systems seem to be wrong, and they are not beneficial to the development of a country, but it is definitely not easy to abolish them, because they have existed for a long time, and the people here are already used to this system. , would be unacceptable.

But Xu Jian didn't take it seriously, and said: "Second Lord, this time, that time, if Tubo is not in danger of subjugation, Tubo naturally doesn't need to rely on those slaves, but now Tubo's situation is worrying, if they still stick to the rules, then This Tubo is really not far from subjugation."

Speaking of this, Xu Jian paused for a moment, and then said: "It is better to ask for help than to ask for help. Songtsan Gambo, instead of asking those tribal leaders for help, it is better to use those slaves directly. The second master can think about it."

At this point, Xu Jian didn't continue talking, he had already said what should be said, and the next thing is to see if Erbao will go to Songtsan Gampo to discuss this matter.

Of course, in his opinion, Er Bao would definitely go. After all, if those tribal leaders really wanted his life, would it be possible for him to give it to him?

And so it is.

Not long after Xu Jian left, Er Bao quickly made a decision that he was going to talk about it.

Tubo Palace.

The weather gradually became more comfortable, but Songtsan Gampo was not feeling well at all. His whole body was tense, and his heart was a little flustered and confused.

He suddenly regretted, regretted many decisions he had made before, regretted being an enemy of Datang, regretting not being able to better build his own Tubo.

But he suddenly thought, even if he built his own Tubo, he might not be able to withstand the attack of the Tang army, right?

Datang is still too powerful.

Just as Songtsan Gampo was thinking this way, a palace official hurried over.

"Zanpu, Second Treasure, please see me."

"What is he here for?" Songtsan Gampo didn't know how to evaluate him for this second treasure. His proposal before did help him solve the problem of refugees, but he also offended those tribal leaders, otherwise , Why are they so unwilling to cooperate?
Erbao solved the problem, but there was another problem.

However, despite this, Songtsen Gampo nodded after thinking for a while, and said, "Let him in."

The palace people retreated, not long after, Erbao hurried over from outside.

"Meet Zamp."

Songtsan Gampo nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Chen Te came to share your majesty's worries."

Hearing this, Songtsan Gampo felt a little bored in his heart. If he found the second treasure by himself, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the second treasure saying this, but he came by himself and said this, which made people feel It's a bit weird.

"Sharing worries, how to share worries?"

Erbao said: "I have a proposal that can rapidly increase the strength of our Tubo troops. Even if the tribal leaders don't take action, we will be able to resist the Tang army."

Songtsan Gampo was a bit bored at first, and had no interest in Erbao's proposal at all, but after hearing this, his expression changed slightly. If their Tibetan troops can increase, then they will resist the Tang army. , it is more hopeful.

He glanced at Er Bao, can this Tang man really provide a good solution?

"What is your solution?"

Er Bao said: "Give the slaves a chance to serve the country."
