Ji Tang

Chapter 1141 Different Ji Song and Lu Dongzan
"Shameless!"

Lu Dongzan was furious. Liu Laoer and others hurried forward and stared at Lu Dongzan closely. As long as the opponent dared to make the slightest move, they would kill him immediately!

"Haha! Shameless?"

Stopping the movements of Liu Laoer and others, he looked at the furious Lu Dongzan with interest!
"Since you secretly went to Tubo in the Tang Dynasty to kidnap my Tang people, what qualifications do you have to say this?"

After hearing Ji Song's words, Lu Dongzan's anger froze, and he sat down again as if he was not the one who spoke.

"Mr. Xi, let's talk straight to the point. What do you want to do?"

We are all foxes for thousands of years, so there is no need to play nonsense.

"I need you to send troops!"

A flash of realization flashed in Lu Dongzan's eyes, and he was no longer anxious. He took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Good thing, what good will Tibet's sending troops do to us?"

Right, this is a qualified ruler.

There are not so many twists and turns between the two countries. Some of them are just based on interests.As for the failure to reach an agreement, it is because the benefits gained are not large enough.

"Body poison!"

Ji Song did not show off and said directly: "I know that you have always wanted a land that can stably provide food. You don't have to think about it in the Tang Dynasty. At least you won't see it in your lifetime."

"But body poison can. Whether it's Niboluo in the south or the many small states in the west, I know that you have been coveting their land, but you have just been in a stalemate."

"I can guarantee that as long as you make enough contributions this time, Datang will help you win a city!"

ho~
Lu Dongzan looked at Ji Song with an uncertain expression, as if he wanted to see something from his face.But he was disappointed. Ji Song was as calm and indifferent as ever, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing!

"Why should the old man trust you?"

He was moved, but he really couldn't understand why Ji Song would do this?Isn't he worried about raising tigers?

"You have no choice. When the Tang Dynasty takes control of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, you will have no chance to go eastward. There is no need to think about the Western Regions. In less than 20 years, it will be good if the Western Regions do not send troops to the plateau."

At this time, Lu Dongzan's defense was completely broken, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a good plan. Sir, you are bluffing in the arrow furnace, and then you will unknowingly bring Dongnu Country under your control. Dongnu Country is only a few hundred miles away from Luosu, It's a good plan to start early and arrive late at night."

"The population of Han people in the Western Regions has increased significantly. In less than 20 years, it will be enough to prevent Tibet from moving without permission."

"Your disciple is not a good person either. It seemed like he only had an insignificant place, but after the trade route was opened, it became a fortress, threatening the plateau from the south. Not only can he train troops, but he can also defend against Tibet. "

"None of you masters and disciples are good people!"

Facing Lu Dongzan's barking, Ji Song remained indifferent.

This is a conspiracy, so what if it is discovered?Now that Tubo has too much time to take care of itself, how can it have the time to deal with these things?In addition, without the Princess of Tang Dynasty bringing a large number of advanced tools and technologies to marry into Tubo, Tubo was not a concern at all at this time!
Facing such a behemoth as the Tang Dynasty, how could the Dongnv Kingdom have the courage to resist?After swaying the upper-class nobles and those in power, the East Girl Kingdom was in the possession of the Tang Dynasty.

The Dongnu Kingdom conflicts with the buffer zone of the plateau and Shuzhong, and the climate conditions are simply not comparable to that of Tubo.Not only does it have abundant rainfall, it also has several large basins and plains. Datang has been operating here for several years and has moved many people there.

If you need food, you need people.Having been stationed on the plateau for a long time, the soldiers have already adapted to the plateau environment. As long as Tubo dares to move, tens of thousands of troops will immediately arrive at dawn and dusk. As long as Tubo does not want to be attacked by troops, they can only station a large number of soldiers at Luo Point.

But Tubo is not the Central Plains. With a large population gathered, the consumption of food and grass is astronomical. It is impossible for them to do this for a long time.

At the junction of Jiaozhou and Tubo, Datang also built a fortress. Once there was a change, both the southeast and west directions could easily send troops.

"Why? Why do you want to help Tubo? If you don't explain clearly, I won't be able to trust you."

Now that someone has grabbed his neck, what else can he do?
He could not give the Tang Dynasty a chance to intervene in Tubo. Once Zampu died, Tubo would inevitably be in turmoil. If the Tang Dynasty took action at this time, Tubo would never have peace.

He looked at the man in the wheelchair in front of him with complicated eyes. Who would have thought that such a man with disabled legs could complete the layout of Tubo silently.

It's terrifying!
"The Prime Minister may have made a mistake!"

Seeing Lu Dongzan's puzzled eyes, Ji Song calmly said: "The Tang Dynasty and Tubo are connected with each other. Even the great rivers in the Central Plains originate from the plateau. They can be said to be natural allies who drink from the same river."

"It is an undisputed fact that the Central Plains is strong. Even if it occasionally declines, a powerful country will soon emerge. Can Tubo do it?"

Without waiting for his answer, he shook his head and said: "No, Tubo has just emerged from ignorance, and may develop rapidly under the leadership of a hero. But the foundation is too shallow. As long as a generation does not produce heroes, it will inevitably decline."

"Have you ever thought about what those people you offended when you were strong will do when you are in decline? Zhongyuan has proven it with facts, that is, you will fight until death!"

"You must have heard about Wuhu's chaos in China, right? It is undeniable that it was the darkest moment in the Central Plains. But so what? Where are the people of Wuhu now? What is left is just a few pens in the history books!"

"I just don't know if Tubo can withstand such a backlash?"

Lu Dongzan looked at Ji Song in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost!
It's like a native who knows nothing about the world is faced with someone telling him the history of the world.The shock is mixed with yearning, and the yearning is mixed with deep fear!

Could this be the Central Plains civilization with its profound heritage?

"what do you want to say in the end?"

With a bitter smile, Lu Dongzan knew that he had been convinced.He knew the shortcomings of Tubo. Tubo's development was too short, and it was so short that it only had its own writing and clothing not long ago.

"I just want to tell you a truth. The Plateau is of no use to the Tang Dynasty. Many scholars even think that if the Plateau becomes the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will be a loss outweighing the gains."

"The Central Plains has no desire to covet the Plateau, it's just that you have been provoking the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan refused to agree and said angrily: "Is it wrong for us to pursue good things? Did your Central Plains have such a large territory from the beginning?"

"of course not!"

Ji Song was not angry because of his anger. He just continued like an old man: "I just want you to know that Datang is not your enemy. It was not before, it is not now, and it will not be in the future."

"Let go of your prejudices. The world is a big place with a lot of fertile land. As long as Tibet and Tang Dynasty join forces, those barbarians in the west are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"

"Shendu, the terrain is flat, the land is fertile, and the climate is humid. As long as you conquer one or two states, you will no longer be short of food. Compared to the Tang Dynasty, Shendu is just a docile sheep. Why bother fighting with the Tang Dynasty? Woolen cloth?"

"I promise that after this incident, I will help you all get a piece of land, but that's all. You must know the reason, so I won't say more here."

Lu Dongzan nodded, of course he knew what Ji Song meant.

It's not like Tubo never thought about taking over a piece of land in Shendu, but Shendu was also made of mud and failed many times, so they had to turn their attention to the Tang Dynasty.But they miscalculated, and the power of Datang made them despair!
If they could win a piece of land in Shendu, they would be stupid to fight with the Tang Dynasty!
Datang is not a charity, let alone a saint. It is good enough to help Tubo once. Do you still expect Datang to help them protect their land?
"Why should I believe you? Although I am not as poisonous as the Tang Dynasty, I am not weak, and their elephant soldiers made Tubo suffer a lot. If you can't convince me, I can't do anything!"

"After all, Tubo is not my word!"

Ji Song felt contempt in his heart, wasn't he just saying it?Do you think he doesn't know about this bastard and Songtsen Gampo's killing spree on the plateau in the past few years?
As long as Songtsen Gampo doesn't die, the two of them will really be able to talk about each other on the plateau!
"Go and get the map from my study!"

"promise!"

Soon, Liu Laoer brought a map. When he opened it, he found that the map showed the southwest border of Tubo and the seaside.

"This is."

Lu Dongzan could no longer sit still. Of course he recognized the map of Tubo, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

But how did Datang get it?When did they go to the plateau to paint?

Suddenly, a group that had been ignored by them appeared in his mind, and he suddenly understood!
Caravans, and only caravans can obtain this information without anyone noticing, and only they have the ability to travel in Tubo without being detained!
He looked across the snow-capped mountains, and when he saw the location of Niboluo, he no longer doubted the authenticity of the map.

"Is this the sea? Niboluo used to be the sea?"

Lu Dongzan pointed to the location on the seaside in surprise. He really didn't know about this.I just heard that there used to be the sea, but this was the first time I could see the location of the sea so intuitively.

After calculating silently in his mind, he was surprised to find that Tubo was far away from the Haihai Military Department, which gave him an astonishing idea!

"Yes, at this time, Datang's South China Sea Fleet has crossed the Niboluo Sea and established a station on this big island. As long as Tubo needs it, we can even send troops directly to land Shendu from here and help you get it. The next land.”

Lu Dongzan suddenly turned around and stared at Ji Song.

"Why? I don't believe you have such good intentions. What is your conspiracy?"

Ji Song looked at him in astonishment, as if he was looking at a bastard who got an advantage and acted like a good boy!
"Would you like me to love you? I'm here to take care of you. I'll see you off when you come!"

Ji Song suddenly became angry, as if a good person who had done a favor to someone else was wronged by others, not to mention how wronged he was.

"Wait!"

Lu Dongzan looked at Ji Song doubtfully and said, "Don't pretend to be aggrieved. I know who you are. I've been told by physics that it's people like you. You are like this, and so are your students." so."

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Ji Song said impatiently.

"Although I don't know what your intentions are, I don't want to take advantage of you, bastard. I agree to this. But the maximum number of troops sent is [-]."

"impossible!"

Ji Song flatly refused and said angrily: "Ten thousand? Are you sending beggars? Our Tang Dynasty has sent out 15 troops this time. You have ten thousand? What do you need?"

"You have fifteen thousand, no more!"

"No, one hundred thousand, or you can fight it yourself!"

"One hundred thousand? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Thirty thousand, this is my bottom line, otherwise it will be a disaster for everyone!"

"Ninety thousand, it can't be lower, otherwise I will suffer a big loss."

"."

An hour later, Lu Dongzan drank some water, moistened his dry throat, and said with difficulty: "Fifty thousand, no more, otherwise I would rather not have it."

"Okay, deal!"

"Uh!"

Just when he thought he was still going to bargain, Lu Dongzan suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Song in disbelief.

"For the sake of the sincerity of the Prime Minister, when I return to Chang'an, I will personally have hundreds and eighty pieces of Chang'an's new clothes made. You can wear them however you want, and there is no need to travel thousands of miles to have them made. Shopping for clothes.”

"you"

Lu Dongzan's face felt a little hot, but he was naturally dark, so he couldn't tell.

"Huh, I don't care about that!"

Looking at the arrogant old man, Ji Song realized for the first time that this old guy had such a cute side?
"Okay, okay. Let's have a good drink. From now on, we will be allies. If you have any questions from now on, just tell us. Don't sneak around and steal people again. It's embarrassing!"

"I've never done this fart before. Don't accuse people unjustly. You must provide evidence when you speak."

Seeing the two red-faced people who were arguing just now, now they have become old friends who have not seen each other for many years?

Everyone on the side was dumbfounded, especially Xu Jingzong, who was in a daze for a long time, trying hard to connect the image of Emperor Wen Zong of the Tang Dynasty with the man in front of him who was always willing to spend money and never talk about profit!
The two of them came to the backyard, and after drinking for three rounds, their words were opened.

To be honest, if it weren't for their different stances, they might have become good friends.Lu Dongzan does not look like a Tubo person at all. He speaks fluent Mandarin. As long as he wears Central Plains clothes, who will recognize him as the Prime Minister of Tibet?

"Ji Ziyi, you are a bastard!"

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Lu Dongzan cursed loudly.

"If it weren't for you, what would Tubo have become? What's wrong with me bringing people back to Tubo from the Central Plains? What's wrong with people being willing to pay the price I gave you? Are you just meddling in other people's business?"

"You only ask me to bring the Four Books and Five Classics? Bastard, what's the use of those things? What I want is craftsmanship, military strategies, farming, iron smelting, skills that can make Tubo strong."

"You'd better ask me to wipe my ass with the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Ji Song's face turned dark, and he quickly blocked the guy's mouth with the wine bottle, and said angrily: "Are you still reasonable? Taking something without telling him is a thief. Don't you understand this?"

"Why should I let you get away with something that has been passed down from the Central Plains for thousands of years so easily?"

"If there is a next time, I will kill each one on sight. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

That night, both of them were alone and drunk, and they kept spouting all kinds of vulgar words. Xu Jingzong couldn't help but admire their eloquence.At this time, he had to admire Ji Song for being able to be so respected and awed by the prime minister of an enemy country. What kind of grace is this?
