People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1271 It’s time to return to Beijing
Luoche, Tubo Palace.

The king of the country, Tridu Songtsen, was sitting in the main hall, reading and writing.

Behind the curtain on the left, the beautiful and plump Bu Lu, who was in her early thirties, read the letter in her hand and slapped it directly on the table with a "bang".

Standing in front of Mrs. Wu Lu, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to her raised his hands and said, "Queen Mother, what did the King of Nanchang say in his letter?"

"He said that if the Tang Dynasty withdraws its troops, he will send 3,000 young court ladies, 10,000 Tang slaves, and a thousand-jin golden Buddha to Nagqu." Mrs. Bu Lu gritted her teeth and looked at the letter on the table, and said angrily: "Thank you If it is also a waste, tens of thousands of troops attacked the city in winter and were defeated."

"It was just a small defeat. The army was not injured at all." Chi Sang looked at his sister and shook his head to persuade.

Bu Lu's face was gloomy, and he looked at his brother and asked, "Brother, if we continue to let Zan Xiruo lead the army, can we defeat the Tang Dynasty?"

Chi Sang fell silent immediately. He had now clearly seen the strong murderous intention in his sister's heart.

"Everyone in the Gar family's army, if the Gar family is eliminated from the army, I'm afraid the military strength will be greatly damaged." Chi Sang had to remind him carefully.

"Let him retreat from the front of the army and garrison at the front, and then send someone to the front line to take over the military power. At the same time, let Brenzan be his deputy to stabilize the morale of the army." No. Lu said dissatisfied: "They lost the battle, can we even replace them?" Don’t the defeated generals even have the power?”

"Then who should I replace?" Chisang asked directly in one sentence.

Lushi fell silent immediately, and then she looked up at Chisang.

Chi Sang shook his head directly and said: "If Daza Gonglu and Wu Xizha are still there, they can be in charge of the army, but they both died in front of the army."

"They all died in the hands of King Nanchang." Wu Lu raised her head and looked at Chi Sang with red eyes and said, "But they were all under the command of Lun Qinling at that time."

At that time, Lu's two younger brothers Daza Gonglu and Wu Xizha served in front of the Qing Navy, but one of them died in Tongren and the other died in Dahuashi Gorge.

All of them are under the command of Lun Qinling.

Chi Sang immediately heard the incomparable resentment contained in this, and he sighed softly: "But Qin Ling is dead, and now we still need the Gar family."

"Why win?" Wu Lu still stared at Chi Sang.

After a word, Chi Sang had no choice but to withdraw his expression, and then said seriously: "Now in Tubo, if there is anyone who can replace Zan Xiruo and defeat the King of Nanchang, then I am afraid it must be Ko Mangbu Zilasong."

"Qu." Lu's face suddenly darkened.

Mangsong Mangzan had three sons. The eldest son Qi Nie Zhusong was Qu Bobu's nephew, and Qu Bobu was Qu Mangbu Zhila's father.

But a few years ago, the Qu family was in turmoil, Qu Bobu was executed, and Nie Zhusong was imprisoned. If Li Xuan hadn't broken into Tanggula Mountain, the Qu family would have been completely liquidated long ago.

However, as the mother's family of Mangsong Mangzan's eldest son, the Qu family has a power comparable to that of the Gar family, and played a huge role in the balance of power in Mangsong Mangzan.

At least they have enough power and prestige in the military.

However, the Lu family and Lun Qinling did not establish Chidu Songtsan as Zanpu, which wiped out the Qu family's power in the army.

Now even if Ko Mangbujirason wants to take over, it is not that easy.

"Now that Jun Mangbojie has been working for Zanpu for several years, and the country's political stability is stable, we may consider releasing Nie Zhusong and gaining the allegiance of the Qu family." Chi Sang pondered and said, "Now that the national crisis is imminent, they You should know the importance, the most important thing is that they also hate the Gar family."

Wu Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, but I ask Nie Zhusong to swear a blood oath to be loyal to Dusong Mangbojie and the Qu family forever."

"Their family has reached the end, and there are not many options left." Chisang showed a confident look on his face. He is still very competent as the deputy prime minister of Tibet.

"Yeah!" Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, and then said, "Then what's left now is time."

Madam Wu Lu looked at the letter on the desk again. There were three thousand young palace maids, ten thousand Tang slaves, and a thousand-jin golden Buddha.

"Queen Mother, this is probably the plan of the King of Nanchang. He will not retreat." Chi Sang's face became solemn.

The Lu family typed up the letter again, sighed, and said, "I know, he just wants to see us and the Gar family lose, and then take advantage, but he has to leave."

"Must?" Chi Sang frowned, then looked at the letter and said, "You don't really plan to give it all to him, do you? Slaves don't matter, just palace maids. For a Thousand Jin Golden Buddha, you can get the Lesser and Lesser Zhao Temple and Bu... Let’s find him in Lagong.”

"He can't just leave such a thousand-jin golden Buddha in Nagqu. It has to be sent back to Chang'an, so who should send it to him?" Mrs. Bulu raised her head, looked at Chisang, and said softly: " His letter is telling us that he will leave Tubo in the name of escorting the Golden Buddha, and then let us fight among ourselves."

"Then he won't fight back?" Chi Sang couldn't help but ask.

"Probably not." Wu Lu shook his head slightly and said, "Frontline military reports indicate that he did not stay at Sangdan at all, and did not even station any troops. So as long as he strangles Dangxiong to death, he will not be able to get in." .”

During the conversation, a series of plans appeared under Wu Lu's lips.

Finally, Mrs. Wu Lu said: "When the Golden Buddha arrives in Nagqu, we need enough manpower to send it back to Chang'an. Three thousand palace maids need to be watched by at least tens of thousands of people. There are also ten thousand Tang slaves. How many spies can be crammed in immediately?" How many spies have gone in and caused some troubles from time to time, which always makes them forget about the south."

Chisang's mouth twitched slightly as he listened. His sister's calculation was very shrewd, and even Chisang himself couldn't think of any reason to refute.

When the Golden Buddha is sent to Naqu, at least three thousand people need to watch it, and they must all be trusted confidants of the King of Nanchang.

Three thousand palace maids, adding the word palace is already different. At least the King of Nanchang does not have the right to deal with these people. How could it be possible to have three thousand young palace maids without having tens of thousands of people watching them? It would be easy for something to happen.

Ten thousand Han slaves could fit at least a few hundred people inside, and even more Tang troops could be held back.

"This way we can have enough time to deal with the affairs of the Gar family." Without a word from Lu, he strengthened his determination.

"If these are all plotted by King Nanchang, it's hard to say that he doesn't have other plots." Chi Sang was still worried.

"Except for the Gar family, as long as anyone else is willing to swear allegiance in blood, then they can accept it. No matter how many calculations the King of Nanchang has, it will be in vain." Wu Lu raised his head, looked at Chi Sang and said: "Brother, you go Contact the Qu family, and as long as they swear allegiance in blood before many nobles, then let them replace Zan Xiruo."

"Yes!" Chi Sang reluctantly handed over his hand, then turned around and left solemnly.

Seeing Chi Sang's leaving figure, Mrs. Lu sighed with emotion: "I hope Mr. Qu will not disappoint anyone."

……

Under the cold city wall, the soldiers used pickaxes, hammers, and spikes to beat the ice in front of them.

The ice broke and a body slid out silently.

The soldiers threw the corpses directly onto the carriage, and the carriage loaded with corpses quickly headed southwest.

Li Xuan stood in the lobby of the General Manager's Mansion, with Wang Dezhen, Xiao Siye, Yang Zhirou, Wei Hongji and others sitting on the left, and Shi Jian, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Duozuo, Zhou Qian and other generals sitting on the right, except Hei Te Changzhi and others. Outside of where Tang Zhenxing needed to be in charge, other generals came.

Li Xuan handed the letter in his hand to Wang Dezhen, then looked at everyone and said: "This is a letter from Luoxue. The Lu family has promised to give 3,000 young palace maids, 10,000 Tang slaves, and a thousand-jin golden Buddha. "

"Thousand-jin Golden Buddha." Everyone immediately turned their attention to the latter, while the former two were ignored by them.

"It is known that there are three golden Buddhas in Tubo that weigh more than a thousand pounds. They are located in the Lesser and Lesser Zhao Temples and the Bu Dala Palace. Any one that is moved will have an impact on the beliefs of the Tubo people." Xiao Siye raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said with cupped hands: " Commander, as soon as the Golden Buddha arrives, you should immediately send the Golden Buddha back to Chang'an."

"Who is going? You can't really go back in person, right?" Wang Dezhen passed the letter in his hand directly, and then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Does the Marshal really want to go back?"

Li Xuan smiled, nodded and said, "If I don't leave, how could they make trouble?"

"What if they put on a show and then raid Naqu again?" Xiao Siye then asked again.

"There is a letter here." Li Xuan took out a letter from the official document on the desk behind him and handed it to Xiao Siye.

Xiao Siye's face suddenly became solemn. Each of these letters from Li Xuan had the power to kill someone.

After sending letters to Luoche twice, it was almost confirmed that Lu had no intention of replacing Zan Xiruo.

Of course, the most fundamental reason for this is that Zan Xiruo was unable to defeat Li Xuan, and the conflict between the two families could no longer be concealed. Li Xuan took a step back, giving them time and space to fight each other.

Now Li Xuan took out a letter again, and all the generals in the hall became solemn at the same time.

"You should still remember Wu Lu Dazha Gonglu. He was the biological brother of Wu Lu. During the Wuhai War, he wanted to plot against Lun Qinling, but in the end he died in the hands of Lun Qinling." Li Xuan looked at him Lifting it slightly, he looked at the people in the hall.

"The commander wants to use that chess piece." Xiao Siye immediately looked at Li Xuan in surprise, his teeth were black, and Shi Xian had the same expression.

On the contrary, others looked confused.

"Bulu Dazha Gonglu is not dead, he was rescued by this king." Li Xuan smiled and explained briefly.

Bulu Dazha Gonglu was on the verge of life and death, and it was Li Xuan who rescued him.

Those present at that time included Liu Shenli, Wang Xiaojie, Li Jinxing, Hei Te Changzhi and others, but others knew less.

"Is the commander-in-chief going to send this letter to Wu Lu?" Xiao Siye did not open the envelope. The letter was sealed. It was obvious that the content inside was not for him to see.

"No, it's for the Blenzan Blade." As soon as Li Xuan spoke, the generals couldn't help but be startled. The letter you wrote to No. Lu was not sent to No. Lu, but to the Blenzan Blade. This What means?
"Zhou Qian." Li Xuan spoke, followed by Zhou Qian on one side.

"The end will be here." Zhou Qian immediately stood up and raised his hands.

"When I return to Beijing this time, I will stay here and keep an eye on Luozu in person. Once I find out that Zan Xiruo has returned to Luozuo from the army, I will immediately send this letter to Brenzan's hands." Li Xuan's eyes suddenly became sharp. , the hearts of everyone present could not help but jump.

"The last general takes orders." Zhou Qian took the letter from Xiao Siye with a solemn expression.

"The commander-in-chief is sure that once Zan Xiruo returns his favor, he will never be able to go back." Wang Dezhen looked at Li Xuan with great surprise on his face.

"That was the last chance for the Tubo royal family." Li Xuan shook his head calmly and said: "We have many plans for this winter's battle, but if Zan Xiruo is too stable, even if he is seriously injured, he is just an ordinary soldier. , the elites of our clan are still there, so I am not willing to fight head-on with him. If such a person cannot defeat him this time, he will not have a chance next time."

"Then what if the Tubo royal family fails." Yang Zhirou stared at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned to look at Zhou Qian, who bowed his hands solemnly.
