The dinner that night ended unhappily. Although he was now in a military camp, Li Xiang's living environment was still very good. The area of ​​this tent must be at least thirty or forty square meters. There were only three such tents in the entire military camp. The one of Songtsen Gampo is slightly bigger, followed by Li Xiang's, and the slightly smaller one is where Lu Dongtsen lives. The hierarchy in Tubo is also very strict.

Li Xiang drank a lot tonight, but he was still able to stay sober. Li Xiang just stretched himself, and the people who went out to investigate have returned. These people have a combat strength of twenty-five people, so even here It's a military camp, and they can come and go as they please.

"Did you hear something?"

Li Xiang poured a glass of water for Long Liu. In Li Xiang's opinion, this was nothing, but the people below were flattered. Although they all redeemed themselves from the system, they still had the concept of respecting elders and inferiors. Remember, Li Xiang is the master of these people. How can the master pour water for them?

"Back to Your Highness, the food in the military camp is still sufficient. However, my subordinates heard the conversation of the food transport soldiers and said that the food depot in the rear was empty. Almost all the food that could be taken out was taken out, but there was a lot of food. There is still food in Tusi's granary, but the quantity is not very large and can only be eaten by themselves. The slaves below really have no food."

Long Liu said honestly, according to the information Li Xiang had, Tubo should have no excess grain. Their main grain-producing areas are in the Tusi Master. Now that the two sides are at war, how can they trade? Therefore, for every extra day that Songtsen Gampo lasted, there was an additional possibility of starvation on Songtsen Gampo's side.

Of course, as Long Liu said, there is food in the chieftain's granary, and it is impossible for the nobles to starve to death, but they live under a slavery system. If the slaves at the lower level have no food to eat, Then they will stand up and rebel, and they will not produce anything. At that time, they will threaten the rule of these great nobles, so before that, the great nobles must find ways to get food, otherwise The rest of the days are spent lingering.

"Is there any anti-war sentiment in the barracks?"

Li Xiang knew that the people under his command were doing very complicated research. If he asked these people to summarize, it would take a while, so Li Xiang first picked out some information that he wanted to know.

"Returning to Your Highness, what these people are most worried about right now is that there are many border troops coming back from the border area. They told them about our new weapons and how Tuyuhun's army failed? They are not worried about the army of the chieftain on the opposite side. , what they are worried about is that after the battle here, the Tang army will come from the north..."

After listening to Long Er's words, Li Xiang was really a little strange. He thought these people were worried about the chieftain's army, but he didn't expect that they were worried about the army of the Tang Dynasty. It's normal when you think about it. The influence of the Tang Dynasty has continued to grow over the years. Rising, and the troops in the border areas have seen our new weapons, they naturally have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. Unexpectedly, letting Lu Dongzan bring the border troops back will disrupt their military morale.

"It's getting late today. Except for the necessary people to keep vigil, everyone else should rest in the tents. Don't go to the tents they prepared for you. If we all spread out, something might happen. ."

Li Xiang didn't bring many people, but those around him had to stay with him. Li Xiang sent Yuchi Baolin and Changsun Chong away and asked them to go to the tent arranged by Tubo, so that they could stay in the entire camp. We are each other's horns. If something happens, the three of us can support each other so that we won't get dumped in one place. After arriving on someone else's territory, we have to think more about everything we do.

The guards thought so too. If they were too far away from Li Xiang, even if they were very capable, they might not be able to take care of Li Xiang. After hearing Li Xiang's words, these people began to lay out their own bedding. Open, and then surround Li Xiang in the center.

For several days, Li Xiang had nothing to do in the military camp. Either this minister was having a banquet, or that minister was hunting. Anyway, his life was very good these days. Li Xiang also knew that Lu Dongzan was not idle that day. He sent out his cronies at night, and these people contacted some people in Datang and Nanzhao as quickly as possible.

Songtsen Gampo also heard from Ludongtsen that the price of twenty-five cents was absolutely unacceptable. If they used this price to buy food, their treasury would be emptied. Maybe we can consider it, but now there is only so little money in the treasury, and there are places to spend money everywhere. If we buy food at this price, when the chieftains counterattack next year, they will not even be able to organize soldiers. Come on, so Songtsen Gampo supports Lu Dongtsen’s idea. Even if people outside sell it more expensively, it will never reach the price of twenty-five cents.

At this moment, the two people were walking around in the tent, like ants on a hot pot. Li Xiang had already left the camp to hunt. Lu Dongzan made it clear to the people below that Li Xiang's safety must be guaranteed, and that Li Xiang's safety must be guaranteed. They had to monitor the people around him, and if there was one missing person, they had to come over quickly and report. They were trying to tie up Li Xiang with their sensuality, so that they could make small moves in secret.

What does Li Xiang think of Lu Dongzan, the way of nature? Lu Dongzan is undoubtedly smart in Li Xiang’s eyes, but now it seems that he only has some small cleverness. The facts are already here, even if you have some more Even a little cleverness cannot change the fundamental situation.

Li Xiang simply took advantage of the situation. He was very tired during this period. Since you have arranged entertainment activities, let’s just enjoy it honestly. We have been having fun these two days, but the toast master’s The offense stopped Li Xiang from doing this.

"How is this going?"

Li Xiang knew what he was asking and said that the smoke was already burning over the military camp. His men were afraid that something would happen to Li Xiang, so they immediately protected Li Xiang and walked to the rear. This place was still some distance away from the military camp where Li Xiang lived. When they saw When he saw the golden dome in front, Li Xiang knew where this place was. Every time there was a battle, Songtsen Gampo had to retreat here first, and the front line was under the management of Lu Dongtsen.
