Chapter 550 The two countries are planning
In the guild hall for entertaining foreign guests in Chang'an City, Tuyuhun envoy Zuoxian Wang Fuzhen and Tubo envoy Daxiang Lu Dongzan sat opposite each other, drinking and enjoying singing and dancing for a generation of abandoned descendants. {Novel Ranking} Both were ordered to go on missions with missions, so they would use this overwhelming victory in the Tang Dynasty War to ask for money and marry a princess. The foreign kingdoms had heard that the Central Plains had used women to exchange for peace when their national strength was not strong or they were defeated, while the Foreign kingdoms showed their force and national strength by winning the princess of the Central Plains like other countries. Therefore, Murong Shun of Tuyuhun and Songtsen Gampo of Tubo wanted to marry the Tang Dynasty princess, and they were also genuine princesses.
The emperor must not be born to the empress and concubine. However, the two went to the Tang Dynasty to commit suicide, thinking that the Tang Dynasty had lost a new defeat, and they would be very respectful to the envoys representing their own country and would let them meet the emperor as soon as possible. However, they did not expect that the officials of the Tang Dynasty's rituals department welcomed the two to the guild hall and ignored them. Apart from the reception of fine wine and delicacies, they did not mention when they could meet the emperor. Even if Fu Zhen and Lu Dongzan asked, the officials were still talking about him, which made the two of them angry. However, the Tang Dynasty had a strong national strength and could not be despised even if they were defeated. Therefore, the two of them held back their anger and waited for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to receive the full text for free in the guild hall.
During this period, the two of them also used money to inquire about the recent movements of the Tang Dynasty court and why the emperor met him. The officials revealed in the face of seeing ten thousand taels of gold in front of him that the emperor was waiting for His Highness Bei, wanting to hear His Highness Bei's view on the Battle of Shuofang. Before His Highness Bei's return to Beijing, the emperor would not receive envoys from both countries.
The official's answer surprised Fu Zhen. Lu Dongzan was not sure why His Highness the Northern King was. Seeing Fu Zhen surprised, he asked, "Why is Zuo Xian King so surprised?"
Fu Zhen then refused Murong Shun's last proposal, but Li Ke refused on the spot, and almost cut Murong Shun's story in the Tang Dynasty and gave Lu Dongzan, which made Lu Dongzan sigh.['" novel`]
"Don't worry, Zuo Xianwang, there is no need to be in the past today. The Tang Dynasty was defeated and the elite was lost. Even if the Northern King was strong, he would not dare to rashly oppose our request!" Lu Dongzan said confidently. For him, although the Tang Dynasty was vast and rich and rich in people, the combat power of the army was not very good. No matter how strong the prince in such a country was, he was not much stronger. Fu Zhen saw his companion showing a disdainful expression and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't say it to his mouth.
Today, Fu Zhen's entourage found His Highness Beiwang back to Beijing, so he summoned Lu Dongzan to his courtyard and wanted to discuss with him the visit of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Fu Zhen's idea was very simple. Tubo was powerful. If he wanted to complete the task smoothly during this mission, he had to cooperate with the Tubo envoys and ask the Tubo envoys to form a rope.
After thirty years of wine and five flavors of food, Fu Zhen thought of Lu Dongzan and said, "Great Presentation, we will meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in less than two days!"
"Yeah!" Lu Dongzan nodded arrogantly, but his mind was on the graceful dancer in front of him. Although Tubo does not lack beauties, the weather and clothing are not as exposed as women in the Central Plains dress, showing their delicate body.
Fu Zhen saw that Lu Dongzan was very arrogant and his mind was not on his own topic at all. He was very angry, but Tubo was stronger than Tuyuhun. This time, he defeated the elite army of the Tang Dynasty and was mainly based on Tubo. Fu Zhen held back his anger and said with a smile, "Great Xiang, if you like it, how many will I send you tonight?"
"Ah--Okay, OK!" Lu Dongzan felt very comfortable when he heard Fu Zhen give such a beautiful woman to him, so he took his eyes back and said lightly, "What does King Zuo Xian want to say to me?"
Fu Zhen clapped his hands and signaled the dancer to withdraw so as not to affect Lu Dongzan's gaze, and then he whispered, "Master, why is Tubo going to the Tang Dynasty this time?"
"The full text of the fine iron, salt, silk, grain and princess is just glass beauty!" Lu Dongzan said openly.
Indeed, Tubo is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is a country with nomadic serfs. What they lack is fine iron and salt, soft and beautiful silk fabrics, and food is also very lacking.
Fu Zhen was slightly surprised when he heard what Tubo asked for, and admired Tubo's wisdom. What Tubo asked for was naturally to build weapons. Obviously, Tubo wanted to expand his army and form a stronger cavalry. The food was hoarded for war, which shows that Tubo had great ambitions and would not satisfy this victory. It is estimated that it will expand westward in the future, and may also expand eastward to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
"I don't ask for much!" Fu Zhen smiled faintly and said as if he was not caring.
"Of course, it is mainly to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty for Songtsen Gampo. I heard that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are all beautiful, just like the gesang flowers on the grassland. Songtsen Gampo often talks about it!" Lu Dongzan said with a faint smile, obviously full of confidence.
"What if I agree?" Fu Zhen asked casually.
"Don't agree?" Lu Dong praising and said, "More than 100,000 elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were defeated, and 120,000 people were killed or injured. If they did not agree, my Tubo army would be able to reach Liangzhou without leaving, and it would take less than two months to reach the city of Chang'an!"
"Tubo is mighty!" Fu Zhen smiled apologized, but he felt very uncomfortable. Looking at the strength of Tubo, his cowardice, this sharp contrast made Fu Zhen feel very bad, but even if Fu Zhen was angry, he had no choice. Diplomacy is a contest between national strength and military strength. A weak country has no diplomatic relations. Who is the strong Tubo?
Fu Zhen felt very uncomfortable, and Lu Dongzan was still thinking about the dancer just now. After a few words, the two gave up. Fu Zhen sent Lu Dongzan out of his courtyard. Thinking of Lu Dongzan's trend patting his shoulders, he looked very concerned about the elders' treatment of the younger generation. Fu Zhen felt angry, but he did not dare to anger Lu Dongzan, so he could only nod and bow to Lu Dongzan to leave.
Back in his living room, Fu Zhen ordered his followers to send two dancers to Lu Dongzan, and he sat in front of the desk and covered his head and drank without saying a word. The followers didn't know who his prince was, and did not dare to come forward to ask, so they could only hide aside from a distance and wait for the summons at any time.
