Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 384 The Fate of Tubo

"You go down first, I will discuss the sailing matters with Xuanling, but don't make such a publicity in the future!"

After Li Shimin discovered that there was a lot of room for manipulation in this matter, he wanted to start to operate it.

After Li Tai heard this, after saluting to Li Shimin, he withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall, and then chose to leave.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling and said, "Feng An retreated simply, but it's good if he retreats, just so that this plan can be implemented smoothly, and you come to help my staff!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Zhang Xuansu, who had a pale face, and then at King Wei who had already left quickly. It seemed that this detailed matter was more or less related to Youzhou's fleet.

Fang Xuanling thought of this and said to Li Shimin, "The sage commands!"

Just when Li Shimin was further completing his strategic layout, planning to accumulate strength and prepare to kill Goguryeo in one fell swoop, Tubo was also enduring the most difficult winter at this time.

After the failure of the last attack on Xihai County, it must have been a heavy blow in the strategic sense for Tubo.

If it wasn't for Lu Dongzan's steadfast defense of Dongnvguo, and Datang had no interest in the land on the plateau, it would be almost a matter of course that Tubo would be destroyed.

But Datang didn't put Tubo in his eyes after all, so he gave Tubo a chance to breathe.

Songtsen Gampo relied on his own ability and joined forces with Chisang Yangdun and Thonmi Sambuza to suppress the internal reactionary forces and let Songtsen Gampo regain power.

Even because of the failure of Datang, Songtsan Gampo's internal control became stronger.

Although Songtsan Gampo regained his power, he did not stop for a moment.

Because the failure in Xihai County is enough to be a nightmare that Songtsen Gampo can remember all his life, which will spur Songtsen Gampo to keep moving forward.

So at this moment, Songtsan Gampo looked at his subordinates Chisang Yangdun, Thonmi Sambuza, Gar Dongzanyusong, and Zhi Seru Gundun, and even when he was at a low point, he still firmly supported himself of the four pillars.

Songtsan Gampo said in a deep voice, "I want Princess Shang Datang!"

Hearing this, the four present couldn't help but look at each other, and almost said in unison, Zanpu, please think twice.

But Songtsan Gampo himself took the lead and said: "I know this will not be successful in a short time.

But I need our descendants of Tubo to remember that even if we can’t do it now, ten years, 50 years, 100 years, or even longer, our mission of Tubo is to honor the princess of Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, how can we establish a country in Tubo, how can we be honored!
The shame of Dafeichuan, after all, one day we will return it back upright, we will upright Shang Datang Princess! "

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, at least Zanpu wasn't crazy and didn't fight Datang right away.

Songtsan Gampo continued: "Datang defeated us, we should catch up even more.

The system of Datang is an advanced system, the army of Datang is an excellent army, and the talents of Datang are top talents.

So I will send envoys to Datang again to learn a better system from Datang, so that we can become even better in Tubo! "

Now that they are defeated, it is basically the instinct of every ignorant nation to learn from the strong.

Especially for a hero like Songtsen Gampo, failure will not make Songtsen Gampo despair, on the contrary, every failure will only make Songtsen Gampo more tenacious.

As for the kind of top quality who was beaten black and swollen by others, but still licks his face and claims to be the best of the kingdom of heaven, there are not many people in the history of the world.

"Why don't I go to Tang Dynasty!" Sangbuza put his palms together and said in a deep voice.

Songtsan cadres watched Sangbuza's self-recommendation and knew that Sangbuza was the most suitable talent.

Needless to say, it was Sangbuza who created the Tibetan language, allowing Tubo to truly have its own culture, which is enough to see the top wisdom of Sangbuza.

In particular, the translation of Chinese into Tibetan has made these new enough to be Tubo-like. If there is anyone in this world who is really suitable for absorbing the culture of the Tang Dynasty, it is Sangbuza.

"Zanpu, let me accompany Sangbuza to the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Dongzan said, "I'm going to learn the Tang Dynasty's military system.

Our Tubo army has hundreds of thousands of troops, but in times of war, it is not as convenient as the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty.

When we command, the start is slow, and it is difficult to take care of it. Even if the soldiers are brave, it is difficult to play a key role! "

"..." Hearing Lu Dongzan's words, Songtsan Gampo thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Okay! As long as it's about the Great Tang, I'll learn it. Whether it's culture or military, these are what we need!"

Chisang Yangdun said, "Since we intend to make friends with Datang, especially since Datang's force is unmatched by us in a short period of time, then our route to continue northward and eastward will be blocked!

So we need to establish a new strategy. The plateau plan with Qinghai as the boundary in the past will be completely abolished. "

When Chisang Yangdun said this, his face turned dark.

Because Chishan Yangdun knew very well that this was to some extent a denial of his own abilities.

But no matter how you say it, even if Chishan Yangdun knew that Datang only had a few thousand people in Xihai County at the beginning, even if he summoned the surrounding coalition forces to reach 5 people, how could he lose if 30 beat [-]!

Then all his plans were completely destroyed by the opponent's tactics to overthrow the strategy, and the way to unify the plateau would not work!
"Tell me what you think?" Songtsan Gampo looked at Chisang Yangdun and encouraged him.

To be honest, even now Songtsen Gampo has not doubted Chisang Yangdun's strategic capabilities.

After all, this whole strategy cannot be wrong in principle. After all, I am a monarch with talent, bring three talented war department, and add 30 troops. In the end, I can't even beat the Tang army's border army. Who would have thought of it.

"We have two roads now!" Chishan Yangdun pointed his finger at India and said, "Since the Gupta Dynasty was destroyed by Heda, King Jieri has reunified the Gupta Dynasty after countless battles. If we want to go south, we must first face The right opponent is him!"

"Has the Gupta Dynasty been reintegrated?" Songtsan Gampo frowned when he heard Chisang Yangdun's words:
"Although Jieri King is definitely easier to deal with than Datang, such a hero who has gone from chaos to order is not an easy opponent!"

Chisang Yangdun nodded in agreement when he heard Songtsan Gampo's words, and then said:

"Yes, this is indeed not easy to deal with, but if Tubo wants to break through and reproduce the Gupta Dynasty, and even the original territory of the Guishuang Dynasty, the Jieri Dynasty must be won!"

Chisang Yangdun's words paused slightly and continued:

"Now that our strength is not enough, we can go to a place that is more suitable for us to play.

Through the bull elephants, to the Sasanian, they now lack sufficient strength to fight the big cannibals.

But they have enough size and enough wealth, we will serve him as mercenaries, and use the power of Sasan to restore our strength.

If Sassan succeeds in sustaining it, then we will have one more empire-level ally in the future.

If Sasanian is destined to perish, we can still plunder Sasanian resources.

Even if there is only a small part of the resources of an empire, it is definitely enough for us in Tibet to develop!
Then wait until the Jieri King dies and the Jieri Kingdom is in turmoil, and then go to crusade against the Jieri Dynasty! "

When Songtsan Gampo heard Chishan Yangdun's words, he couldn't help thinking: "Do you want to go to the Sasanian Empire to train as a mercenary?"

"En!" Chisang Yangdun nodded, "We want to recover as quickly as possible, and the resources of Tubo alone are definitely not enough.

Even if it takes another hundred years, it may not be enough to meet Princess Shang's expectations, but it will be different with the resources of the Sasanian Empire.

We are definitely recovering faster than we expected! "

"Okay!" Songtsan Gampo thought after hearing Chisang Yangdun's words, "How can we get on line with the Sasanian Empire!"

"I think you can give it to me to try!" Chisang Yangdun said: "Our religion and Zoroastrianism are of the same origin, and we can trace back to the founder of the religion, Zoroastrianism. Believers of Studiism.

Starting with this, I believe that Sassan will never refuse our friendship and help. After all, the big food they are facing will never let the pagans go! "

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Songtsan Gampo looked at Chisang Yangdun in surprise.

To be honest, even if he is the Lord of Tubo, he is not very clear about the relationship between Ben religion and Zoroastrianism.

Because there was no Tibetan script when the religion was founded, many historical records have long been lost.

Only those true internal believers of this religion clearly know the relationship inside through word of mouth.

At this time, Chisang Yangdun couldn't help but glanced at Sangbuza. Although both of them were the core advisors of Songtsan Gampo, their positions were completely different.

Because Sangbuza is a Buddhist, he created Tibetan characters and used Buddhist scriptures as enlightenment teaching materials. For a wise man like Chishan Yangdun who pays attention to strategy, he can see the purpose of Sangbuza to spread Buddhism among Tibetans.

Even if Buddhism grows bigger in the future, the religion will attack, but as long as these Tibetan words are not eradicated, Buddhism will naturally revive.

To tell the truth, just as Sambuza knew very well, to spread Buddhism while Trisang Yangdun was alive would be courting death.

Therefore, the foundation for spreading Buddhism has been prepared, but we did not spread it by ourselves, but waited for the opportunity in the future.
In history, Songtsan Gampo's marriage to Princess Wencheng became the first opportunity for Buddhism to spread on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

One of the most important reasons is that Sambuza devoted his whole life to creating the Tibetan language, to create a Tibetan language that contains Buddhist thoughts.

The Buddhist classics brought by Princess Wencheng were more of a spark. Otherwise, Princess Wencheng also brought a lot of Confucian classics, so why didn’t Tubo become completely Confucianized.

Among them, in many inconspicuous places, there are many wise men carrying heavy burdens in the dark.

It's just that these people who are carrying forward are willing to let themselves become the tide that pushes the waves to roll.

If it is the original history, Songtsan Gampo attached great importance to Sangbuza for the reason of balancing the power of his subordinates, and even used the Buddhist scriptures brought by Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty to secretly hide Chen Cang, supporting Buddhism and his own religion to check and balance each other.

But it is different now, this time Songtsan Gampo lost in Xihai County.

This is not only the loss of the power in his hands, but more importantly, the power he originally wanted to cultivate is also gone.

Under such circumstances, Songtsan Gampo could only hold on to the thigh of the religion, and use the absolute power of the religion in the Tubo forces to suppress all civil strife in Tubo.

Therefore, in the face of Chisang Yangdun's second suggestion, Songtsan Gampo knew that Chisang Yangdun had his own careful thinking, perhaps it was a wise man's instinctive guard against the situation, but Songtsan Gampo still chose the second suggestion. a suggestion.

Because Tubo is not Datang, it’s okay to lose two or three times. Now Tubo is too weak. Even if the suggestion made by Chishan Yangdun is a slightly poisonous barbecue, poisoning is a matter of the future. But starving to death is an immediate matter.

In any case, if resources were really absorbed from Sasanian, then maybe there would still be disputes between the Ben religion and the Zoroastrian religion!
At that time, Buddhism will not work, and it will be the same if Zoroastrianism is used instead.

A group of people saluted Songtsan Gampo, but Songtsan Gampo was the only one who could really integrate Tubo.

Although the other people are excellent, if they can really be convinced, they still can't say it.

Therefore, as long as Songtsan Gampo is still there, although Tubo has fallen to the bottom at this moment, under the leadership of Songtsan Gampo, he will find a way out of the desperate situation, at least everyone present firmly believes so!

Songtsan Gampo stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and solemnly said:
"Everyone, we have reached the most difficult time for Tubo, but please work together with me. I believe that we will eventually get out of the predicament, and Tubo will become a big country that can rival the Great Tang.

At that time, we will come to Datang in an upright manner and tell them that we want Princess Shang! "

"Princess Shang!" At this moment, the four of them shouted in unison with Songtsan Gampo, and looked at each other.

"I always feel that we look so stupid!" Chisang Yangdun glanced at Sangbuza!
"This lesson is painful, but it is also a good goal, which can build up morale very well!" Sang Buza looked at Lu Dongzan.

"I hope!" Lu Dongzan thought about whether he should change the slogan of military training to this in the future, and looked at Sairu Gongdun!

"Princess Shang!" Seru Gundun continued to shout after Songtsan Gampo, but he didn't receive any signal.

Well, at least at this moment, the wills of Seru Gundun and Songtsan Gampo have reached a high degree of unity, or the entire Tubo has completely become obsessed with Princess Shang.

Can I not become an obsession? Originally, I just used Princess Shang as an excuse to annex Xihai County and expand my territory, but now, I was suddenly thrown away by the [-] Great Tang Academy Army with assorted mobs. .

Datang told Tubo who had been beeping all the time with the facts, you are a bum, I have no time to talk to you, stop making trouble!
What can Tubo do? Of course, Tubo must pay back to Datang with facts, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!
You Datang don't kill me Tubo, I Tubo will return the king one day, Shang Datang Princess.

　The body is recovering well, except that he is still coughing, at least he is not dizzy, and his body does not feel swollen. He should be able to do two more tomorrow.
