Ji Tang

Chapter 995 They took action.
"Chamdo?"

"Eastern Women's Country?"

Li Shimin and Di Zhixun said in surprise at the same time.

"Yes, it's here!"

Ji Song found a stick from somewhere, pointed at the location of Dongnu Kingdom, and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the buffer zone between Tubo and Tang Dynasty. The terrain is not as high as the plateau, but it is not low either. The people of the Central Plains can definitely survive here."

"And the Tubo forces have not yet reached the Dongnu Kingdom. We have just brought the Dongnu Kingdom into the arms of the Tang Dynasty. If Tubo gets there first, it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty!"

"So, we don't want Linzhi or Tubo land. We just need to build two fortresses here, here, and then slowly encroach on the Dongnu Kingdom and completely incorporate it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

He pointed to the edge of the mountains to the north of Qamdo and a spot on the coast of Jiaozhou in the south and said: "Building a checkpoint here can play an early warning role. With falcon training, we can learn about the situation in Tibet within three days. It serves as a warning to us.”

Then he pointed to the south, which is the seaside, and said: "This is close to the seaside. With Datang's long-distance navigation capabilities, we are fully capable of driving the fleet here."

"This place can not only monitor Tubo, but also station troops, and it is very dangerous to go west. Building a city here can also serve as a node for maritime east-west trade. In the future, it will definitely not lag behind the current Mingzhou and Dengzhou. state."

As for military training?

Ji Song pointed to the mountains and said with a smile: "There are ravines here. The high terrain is no lower than that of Tubo. The lower areas can be used for rest. Between these mountains is where I, the Tang Dynasty, train my troops."

After listening to Ji Song's words, Li Shimin's eyes gleamed. Such a wild and unconstrained strategy was simply unheard of.But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense!
The blatant military training will inevitably attract Tubo's attention, and maybe they will specifically target it.

But the three places chosen by Ji Song, no, they should be four places. Datang is fully capable of controlling them in its own hands, and it has not yet been implemented.Even if Tubo knew that this was against itself, there was nothing they could do about it.

Because strictly speaking, these four places have no border with Tubo.But as long as you cross the mountains, you will reach a flat plateau, and there are roads crisscrossing the mountains, so you can't defend yourself even if you want to.

If Tubo wants to deal with the Tang Dynasty in the future, these four places will immobilize Tubo. If he is not careful, the Tang Dynasty will steal his peaches.

Jialiang Land can be used as a logistics location for the army. After all, it is within the Tang Dynasty and is still surrounded by mountains.Even if the enemy wants to harass them, they can't.

The location of Dongnu Country is the east gate of the plateau. As long as it is controlled, it can be completely self-sufficient and even have surplus based on the environment here.

The checkpoint north of Qamdo completely blocked Tubo's eastward advance.In addition, a nail was driven into the back of Tubo, right on the seaside.As long as Tubo dares to move, any army can march directly into the plateau and trample on Tubo territory.

"Good good!"

Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement. Looking at these four places, it was like seeing a snare, completely trapping Tubo on the plateau.As long as Datang manages these four places well, it can slowly encroach westward.

If Tubo wants to expand in the future, it can only go north or west, but who is the Tang Dynasty afraid of now in the Western Regions?west?Datang couldn't wait to do it!
"This matter is kept secret. You quickly write a letter to inform Wang Xuance and others about it and ask them to investigate in Linzhi. In addition, when you return, you will go to Dongnv Kingdom as an envoy to make Dongnv Kingdom completely fall to the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Shimin turned around a few steps and then said: "Tell Wang Xuance to do it boldly. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, the Tang Dynasty will accept it. I only want Dongnu Kingdom to become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty!"

He looked carefully at the location of East Girl Country. At first, he didn't care much about it, and he didn't even know there was a country here.But after Ji Song's explanation and Di Zhisun's explanation of the geographical environment of this place.When he looked at the location of Dongnu Country, it was as if he was seeing a treasure mountain.

The east gate of the plateau, as long as this place belongs to the Tang Dynasty, the plateau will be afraid of being dominated by the Tang Dynasty!
After sending Ji Song away, Li Shimin immediately called Fang Xuanling and others into the palace one by one to discuss.Li Jing, Li Ji from the military, and Cheng Yaojin who had fought in the West China Sea also called one by one.

After hearing the emperor tell the whole plan, everyone looked at the emperor in surprise.

"Cough cough!"

It was rare that Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Well, this strategy was discussed by me and the Duke of Xi. Together with Di Zhisun, who is familiar with Shu, we came up with this plan."

After speaking, he ignored the strange looks from everyone, waved his hand and said directly: "Everyone can speak freely, and please point out any shortcomings!"

Everyone looked at each other and understood.It was said that they were discussed with Ji Song, but it seems that it was the plan of that boy Ji Song, but can this be revealed?

Anyway, Ji Song didn't care what the emperor said, so what else could they say?
Anyway, the emperor has been blackheartedly taking credit for Ji Song's achievements over the years, and they are all used to it!

So, everyone talked to each other until the sun set and the curfew was about to begin, then we completely perfected this strategy, and the rest relied on on-site inspections.

Early the next morning, when Ji Song came to Yingyuan, Yingnu had already prepared everything.I saw two majestic tamed falcons behind him. Looking around, I saw that he was undoubtedly the master of the sky!

"Master, this is just the best one in our family, look."

Ji Song nodded and handed the two bamboo tubes in his sleeves to Yingnu.

The eagle slave did not hesitate. After taking it, he tied it around the neck of the tamed eagle. After confirming that it was correct, he picked up a copper whistle.

When the whistle sounded, the two tamed eagles flew directly into the sky as if they had received some order.

As the frequency of the whistle continued to change, the one that came back from Tubo circled in the air for several times, then flew towards the west with a cry.

The one behind him did the same, chirped downwards, and then followed the tamed falcon in front to the west.

Ji Song looked at the tamed eagle leaving and was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Go ahead and order all the people in the Western Region to cooperate with Wang Xuance's plan. Who dares to fall behind?"

"Then don't come back!"

Old Liu had been following the master of the house. Hearing these words, he trembled all over and said quickly: "Don't worry, master, I will pass on the message right now."

Seeing the head of the family walking away, Old Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Don't come back?

People who didn't know it thought it meant asking him to commit suicide, but he knew that the head of the family meant it literally.Others simply cannot imagine what Ji represents to those wandering outside.

Faith, destination, home, even a harbor to survive and escape the storm.

No matter how far they go, they will never be lonely as long as they think of their home far away in Guanzhong.

But what if you can't come back?
You can imagine how many people would completely collapse!
Thinking of this, Lao Liu did not dare to neglect at all. He had to make the seriousness of this matter clear to those people.If you really screw up, you won't be able to come back, and you may regret it to death!
The master of the family is becoming more and more majestic, and if he speaks out, he must carry it out.

Once he can't come back, the biggest possibility is to completely settle down in the Western Region.Although they will not be expelled from the family tree, except for their descendants, they will never be able to go home in this life.

Ji Song doesn't care what Lao Liu thinks, he knows the seriousness of this matter and has to do this!
It's not that he is cruel, but that some people feel that he can't control them when they are far away from home.I know exactly what those people have been doing outside these years.

For this reason, he often ordered a cleanup, although the news that came back was that he encountered horse bandits and the like.But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is what the head of the family did.

No, perhaps it was Ji Lu, the commander-in-chief of the Ji family, who did it.

As the Ji family continues to grow, even though the family was divided before, people all over the place have made a lot of progress in a short period of time, and some are even more energetic than before.This fact made him very happy. The Ji family should not be as lifeless as those aristocratic families.Pioneering, enterprising, and not afraid of difficulties, this is the character that the Ji clan should have!

Those black sheep, those who take advantage of the power of the family to cause mischief outside, must be eliminated.

Perhaps they dare not do anything while they are alive.But once she leaves, Run'er will absolutely not be able to control it.With his current body, it is not impossible to live for another fifty years.

At that time, the Ji family had passed through at least four or three generations. If nothing could change, then just settle for the ordinary!

Starting from the second day, Ji Song started his regular life again.

Going to court, the Ministry of War, at home, or going to Furong Garden to talk to Li Chengqian or read books, it seemed as if he had already forgotten about Tubo.
Logically, Wang Xuance and others have been waiting for Chang'an's reply these days.According to their calculations, it should be here anyway.But until the thirteenth day, there was still no trace of the falcon.

Sometimes he would wonder, could it be that Songtsen Gampo asked someone to shoot the tame falcon?
But after thinking about it, I still don’t believe it.The tamed falcons are specially trained by the family so that they will not land on the plains.Even if it is hunting, it will go to inaccessible places, especially places with people, and will never be found.

Songtsen Gampo wanted to intercept the falcon, which was simply impossible!
Suddenly, an excited cry sounded!
Wang Xuance looked up and saw the always majestic falcon appearing in the sky, constantly circling in the sky.

"wrong!"

At this time, Ji Xiancheng looked at the tamed falcon that was unwilling to go down and said, "It seems to be very anxious. Watch his movements."

"East."

The tamed falcon will perform different movements in the air to communicate with its owner. When Ji Xiancheng and Wang Xuance saw it clearly, they were stunned!
"No, there are two falcons!"

At this time, even if they were fools, they understood something.He quickly ran outside.

"Come on, everyone gather together!"

Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, who had just come out, quickly took orders!
"Quick, quick, everyone gather and prepare to fight!"

Soon, all 500 people from the Tang Dynasty delegation were assembled.

Without saying a word, Wang Xuance led the people directly towards the door.But before the door could be opened, the door opened from the outside!

"Where are you going, your envoy? Don't forget that you and Zamp made an agreement."

The person coming was none other than Lang Ri, the person in charge of the embassy.

But now that he has been promoted, he is equivalent to the position of the Minister of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty. If he were placed in the Tang Dynasty, he would be Wang Xuance's immediate boss!
"Go away!"

Wang Xuance ignored him, kicked Langri away, and rushed out with a wave of his hand!
"Where are you guys going?"

Just when a conflict was about to occur, Songtsen Gampo appeared outside the door and looked at Wang Xuance and his party with a smile.

"What exactly did you do to falconry?"

No wonder Wang Xuance was so angry. Falcon training was of great significance to the Tang Dynasty.Every time one is lost, it is a great loss.

Songtsan Gampo was also a little confused at this time. He had just received a report that the Tang Dynasty envoy had been assembled and it seemed that they were going to forcefully attack the army.

Fortunately, they are not far away. If there is a conflict, as long as one of these two people dies, there will definitely be a battle between Tubo and Datang.

In the last moments of his life, he was unwilling and unable to fight against Datang.This would be an absolute disaster for Tibet.Win or lose.

The Tang Dynasty could lose ten times and a hundred times, but Tubo would fall apart as long as it lost once.

He doesn't dare to gamble!
"What did you do to the tame falcon? Isn't he fine in the sky?" Songtsen Gampo asked suspiciously.

Wang Xuance was stunned. He had a good eye for judging people. Songtsen Gampo was [-]% not lying.But why does a tamed falcon send out a distress signal?
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Wang Xuance informed Songtsen Gampo about the other falcon, and also said with certainty: "Now I am very sure that the other falcon is in crisis."

He looked at Songtsen Gampo and said directly: "No matter whether you did this or not, please get out of the way now. Otherwise, you are the enemy!"

Clang!

The sword was drawn out, which was like a signal. Wind it up and draw it out.

"Zamp, retreat quickly!"

Langri's face was pale now and he was hit by hundreds of crossbow arrows. He was considered a hero if he didn't fall down.

"Step aside!"

Songtsen Gampo stared at Wang Xuance, but Wang Xuance didn't care at all, as if he didn't care about the lives of hundreds of people.

"Step aside!"

"Zamp?"

Songtsen Gampo glared at Langri and said loudly: "Ben Zampo asked you to get out of the way, didn't you hear?"

Swish!
Soon, the army made way for them.Wang Xuance glanced at Songtsan Gampo, and when passing by him, he said: "It's best that you didn't do this, otherwise"

Wang Xuance left. Although he had not finished speaking, Songtsen Gampo understood what he meant!
They had made an agreement with the Tang Dynasty before and sent people to intercept the falcon within half a month. This was no different from playing tricks on the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Once things are done, I'm afraid.
Thinking of this, he hurried to the dungeon!

"Teacher, teacher!"

Lu Dongzan was writing something in the dungeon. When he heard the movement and looked back, he was shocked.

"Zamp, why are you here?"

Songtsen Gampo was very uneasy now, always feeling like something was about to happen.He quickly recounted what had just happened.

Lu Dongzan was stunned when he heard this. He thought for a moment and suddenly turned pale!
"What's wrong, teacher? But..."

Lu Dongzan was not in the mood to explain at this time, but said anxiously: "Zan Pu, follow them immediately, you must follow them immediately."

Looking at the panicked Songtsen Gampo.Lu Dongzan collapsed on the ground and murmured: "They. They took action."
