Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 370 Chapter 381: Songtsen Gampo's Compromise

After Li Hao said a word, his pride suddenly rose, and he shouted: "Chen Song! Take my horse!"

Chen Song hurried away like a gust of wind, and not long after, he brought Lion Cong over. Li Hao took Yi Yipot of arrows on his back, and flew onto the horse with his bow. Running quickly, Li Hao pulled out a special arrow from the quiver, quickly pulled the bow and shot it out. With a "snap", the center of an arrow target was pierced. Just after shooting an arrow, Li Hao pulled out the arrow very quickly. The second arrow, bowing the bow and placing the arrow again, made another sound, the second target was also shot through, Lion Cong ran forward, Li Hao kept shooting, his movements were like flowing clouds, but the row of targets was Disaster.

Li Hao shot seven arrows in a row, piercing through the centers of seven archery targets. The soldiers in the shooting range were stunned. They applauded and cheered for Li Hao after a moment of stunned. Individuals can do it, Li Hao's superb archery skills alone have convinced them.

Li Haole dismounted his horse, strode to Wang Wu and other craftsmen, and said happily: "Everyone has worked hard, pass on this general, and all craftsmen who participated in making this bow and arrow will be rewarded with ten pieces of money!"

"Thank you, General!" All the craftsmen saluted happily after hearing the words.

Li Hao handed the bow back to them, and said: "Go and help me weigh this iron-backed bow, how many stones is it? After I go back, I will make a better one and give it to Xue Rengui. Outside, there is a shortage of materials, and it is already the limit to be able to do this.”

All the craftsmen were shocked when they heard the words, they didn't expect Li Hao to be so greedy, this bow was already so strong, he was not satisfied, he wanted a better one, and they were professional bow crafters, who could Bows and crossbows can be compared to them. In fact, they don't know that there are a large number of craftsmen hidden in Li Hao's mansion. As long as the materials are complete, not to mention bows, even crossbows and cannons are no problem.

Wang Wu and the others didn't dare to say anything more, so they went to weigh their strength with the iron-backed bow, and Li Hao also rode back to the tooth tent. Not long after, Wang Wu and the others sent the bow over and told Li Hao that the iron-backed The tension of the bow was three stones and seven buckets, Li Hao nodded, took down the iron-backed bow, loosened the string and hung it up.

At the same time, in some cities in Tubo, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had already met with Songtsen Gampo with the letter of state. If he wants to fight, Datang will accompany him. Datang has never been afraid of anyone in war, but he just hopes that Tubo will be more capable than last time, and he will stay under the hands of Tubo's nemesis Li Hao for a few more months. There is a sense of irony in it.

Tubo was not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, and Songtsen Gampo was still Li Shimin's son-in-law. It was reasonable for Li Shimin to issue a letter of credence to reprimand Songtsen Gampo with such a high profile, but Songtsen Gampo was very angry.

But Songtsan Gampo could bear it very well, and suppressed his anger to listen to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty after reading the letter of credence. After retiring from the court, Songtsan Gampo summoned Ge Erdongzan to discuss the matter.

In the hall, Songtsan Gan was full of anger, and he was quite angry. He asked Geer Dongzan, "Great Minister, what are your chances of winning this plan to attack the Tang Dynasty?"

Ge Erdongzan shook his head and sighed: "If you attack hard, you won't even have a single chance of winning."

"What!" Songtsan Gampo screamed and stared at the words. He was about to question him why he proposed such a battle plan since there was no chance of winning, but then he remembered that Geer Dongzan had persuaded him to attack the Dalai Lama rashly. Tang, there was almost no chance of winning, but at the time he was angry and refused to listen to persuasion. He had to come up with a battle plan, and Ge Erdongzan had no choice but to propose this battle plan.

Songtsan Gampo gradually calmed down, and said a little discouraged: "The Tang Dynasty...is it really so powerful?"

"Zanpu." Ge Erdongzan said slowly, "The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is only one, and Li Hao's son leading the army is the second. Because I married Princess Gaoyang, I lost a lot to Tubo, and this is the third, so now We should recuperate, plan before moving, and should not attack Datang rashly."

Songtsan Gampo recalled his words, frowned and asked, "That Li Hao...is he really so powerful?"

Ge Erdongzan's face turned serious, and he said: "I have never seen Li Hao's military ability, but I have competed with Li Hao in terms of strategy and wisdom. In this regard, I have never met an opponent, but I lost to him. Li Hao...is a genius."

Songtsan Gampo was secretly shocked when he heard the words, he knew Ge Erdong Zan too well, the number one wise man in Tubo, his vision was so high, no one had ever been able to see him, but now Ge Er Dongzan made such a high opinion of Li Hao Evaluation, one can imagine how powerful this Li Hao must be, Songtsen Gampo said unwillingly: "He is only in his early twenties, how can he be so powerful?"

"It's strange to be here." Ge Erdong admired, "This son is only in his early twenties, the city is deep, his intelligence is high, he has few enemies, and he is almost a monster."

Songtsan Gampo frowned and said angrily: "Could it be that with him here, we can't touch Datang? Then Ben Zanpu won't be able to take revenge in this life!"

The revenge Songtsan Gampo mentioned naturally refers to revenge for wearing a cuckold, but Ge Erdongzan understood it as revenge for the defeat of the army, so he didn't think much about it, and said: "Zanpu don't worry, although Li Hao's son is now It is like the sky, but the Han people have a saying that things must be reversed when they are extreme. The water in the Great Tang Dynasty Hall is very deep. After all, Li Hao is too young. Such a young person climbed so high on the Great Tang Dynasty Hall. , the wind will destroy it. The best way to deal with the Tang people is to let them fight each other."

"Yes!" Songtsan Gampo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said excitedly, "Tang people like to compete for fame and fortune, and they like fighting among themselves the most, but..."

Songtsan Gampo suddenly frowned again and said, "If Li Hao relies on his own ability to overwhelm the officials, what should we do?"

Ge Erdong praised: "Then he is finished. What a great man the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is. How can he allow a boy to climb so high? Naturally, he will be suppressed to prevent the master from being overwhelmed by his achievements. Besides, even if Li Hao can climb all the way smoothly, the minister Already thought about what to do next."

Songtsan Gampo hurriedly asked, "What's the prime minister thinking about?"

Ge Erdong said: "Zanpu, we can rest for a few years. In these few years, we must not act recklessly. At the same time, we secretly condemn envoys to go to Western Turks, East Tuyuhun, Huihe, and Xue Yantuo. For these countries, they may threaten, or lure, or marry. Let them cooperate with me, Tubo, find the right time, and attack Datang together, even if Li Hao has three heads and six arms, he will be powerless."

Songtsan Gampo said depressedly: "In this way, Ben Zanpu can only hold back for the time being, and let Xu Tu develop first?"

"Exactly." Ge Erdongzan made a very formal salute, hoping that Songtsan Gampo would listen to him this time.

Songtsan Gampo frowned and thought for a long time, finally sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Okay, just listen to the words of the Prime Minister, don't do anything for now, and wait for a good opportunity."

When he said these words, Songtsan Gampo was very humiliated in his heart. As the dignified Lord of Tubo, he was cuckolded by the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he still had to choose to endure it for the time being. The disparity in national power is only one aspect. The most important thing is Li Hao, the nemesis of Tubo. It is because of Li Hao that he has to endure such humiliation.

At this time, Geer Dongzan suddenly said again: "Zanpu, after sending the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, I request a thorough investigation of the group of Tang people brought by Queen Jiamusa. I suspect that the Emperor Tang planted in the group of people." So this time our action plan was known in advance by Emperor Tang."

Songtsan Gampo opened his eyes sharply when he heard the words, and gritted his teeth, said: "Check, the Prime Minister just check, if you can't find out, all those Tang people will be killed! Ben Zanpu hates Tang people the most!"

Ge Erdongzan was stunned when he heard the words. He felt that Songtsan Gampo had been acting strangely lately. If Bu Ruo didn't want people to know something, he definitely couldn't ask more, it was a taboo.

Ge Erdongzan could only say: "The group of craftsmen brought by the Tang Dynasty will help us to develop the national power of Tubo. I don't want to kill randomly. Zanpu can rest assured that I will try my best to find spies."

Songtsan Gampo also realized that he had lost his composure, nodded his head, and said nothing more.

Ge Erdong praised: "If Zanpu has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

"Go down." Songtsan Gampo nodded.

Ge Erdongzan withdrew from the main hall, Songtsan Gampo suddenly showed a ferocious expression, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Datang! Datang! I must destroy Datang! Kill Li Shimin...and that Li Hao!"

In the morning of the next day, Songtsan Gampo received the envoy of the Tang Dynasty again. At this moment, he was smiling and calm, and he did not see the anger and ferocity of yesterday. It turns out that Songtsan Gampo is also a good actor, and his acting skills are not weaker than Li Shimin. Songtsan Gampo explained to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty that the mobilization of their army was not for war, but for military drills. Unexpectedly, it caused such a big misunderstanding. He had already ordered the troops to come back, and told the Emperor of Tang Dynasty not to worry... …

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty felt that his IQ had been insulted, and there was no one who could talk nonsense with his eyes open, but it was hard for the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to say much. What more can I say, the goal is achieved, go home.

On New Year’s Eve, Li Hao and all the troops lit a bonfire in the camp and held a barbecue party to celebrate New Year’s Eve. In the cold night wind, Li Hao sat in front of the bonfire, sang many homesick songs with his guitar in his arms. He was really homesick. Yes, he often stayed away from home for the New Year in the past few years, but he never felt this way.Gein now has five wives and a son. Little Li Tu is very funny. He has to tease that little guy for a while every day to feel at ease, but it has been three or four months since he left home. Now He can't go back during the Chinese New Year, can he miss home?

In the early morning of the next day, Li Hao was giving out red envelopes to all the soldiers in the army, each red envelope was one penny, just to make a point of saying that during the Chinese New Year, one should be happy, not caring about the amount of money, when the scouts came to report suddenly, the Tubo army retreated.

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and waved his hands: "Explore again!"

"Yes!" The scout also excitedly took the lead.

Li Hao is so excited, the Tubo army has retreated, and he can finally go home, alas, he got such good news on the first day of the new year, a good sign, definitely a good sign, so Li Hao ordered another bonfire party to be held tonight , eat meat as you like, sing as you want, dance as you want, and drink...you are not allowed to drink.
