The 416th chapter Lu Dongzan (1)
It is not an exaggeration to use the four words "Heavenly Majestic" to describe the emperor. In Li Chengqian's opinion, except for Emperor Guangwu, the "son of the plane", no emperor who rose up in rebellion had more charisma than him.
.
He raised troops from Jinyang and conquered the world in a few years. Not only his military achievements, but more importantly, he continued to recruit a large number of civil servants and generals through his own charm.
In this regard, he can be said to be invincible, but as a victorious general, he actually stumbled upon this Tubo barbarian in history. How could this not make Li Chengqian curious?
So when the emperor asked him to handle the coordination of the war between the two countries, Li Chengqian agreed without even thinking about it. He must meet this guy who left a significant mark in the history of both countries.
Li Chengqian has always been a rule not to fight uncertain battles, so he specially found Feng Dexia, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. This old boy had been on a mission to Tubo and knew the national conditions and customs of Tubo. He couldn't just grab a hot bun with cold hands.
Not only was it impossible to get anything done, but Lu Dongzan also made Lu Dongzan look down upon him as the crown prince.
Ludongzan is a Chinese name. This guy's original name was Gar Dongzan. His family hereditarily owned the fiefdom in the Gabu area. After Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, he led the Tibetan cavalry to conquer most of the Tubo Plateau and established the
Tubo’s dominance on the plateau.
At the same time that Tubo was shaking the plateau, Songtsen Gampo sent Gar Dongtsen and Tunmi Sambuza as envoys to Nibala to propose a marriage to King Guangzhou, hoping to marry Princess Brikuti (Princess Chizun) as his wife.
After three wars of words, a roundabout battle of wits, and the threat of sending troops, King Guangzhou was forced to marry Princess Chizun to Songtsen Gampo.
Seeing this guy saluting with standard Han etiquette, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile in his heart. Damn it, if I didn't know that you are a carrot and a stick expert, I would have been deceived by your honest appearance.
"Dongzan, I heard that Zampu of your country is about the same age as Gu, and he is also a warrior who is skilled in bow and horse. He often leads troops in battles. Come and tell me what kind of person he is. As a brother of an allied country, Mr. Gu
You can’t know anything about him!”
If this was asked by an ordinary Tang official, Lu Dongzan would definitely refuse it sternly. Regardless of whether he is a minister or not, he must also ensure the mystery of Zampu so that the people of the Central Plains are always afraid of a young and strong leader on the plateau.
So that the Tang Dynasty, a powerful country in the East, would not dare to look west easily.
But Lu Dongzan couldn't refuse Li Chengqian's question. First of all, the two men's identities were similar, and with Tang's all-pervasive caravans, there would always be some solid news coming back, so he couldn't deceive this powerful country on this point.
The crown prince.
So, Lu Dongzan put down the tea cup in his hand and replied with a smile: "Your Highness, my Zanpu is the only son of the late king. He is deeply supported by the royal family and his subjects. Since the beginning of Mongolia, the late king has invited many teachers for him.
Craftsmanship, calendar and martial arts.
When he came to the throne, Zampu, he put down the civil strife in Tubo with his iron-blooded tactics. Later, he led his army to completely eradicate the old clan forces, and restored all ethnic groups in Tubo to kingship. It can be said that Zampu is a hero rarely seen on the plateau in hundreds of years. I, Tubo, are also
Under his rule, he achieved great successes year after year and was invincible."
"I am not saying this as a compliment. Regardless of the strengths of all countries, the only ones who can be called young heroes are my family Zanpu and your Highness. Foreign Minister, I heard from the nobles of Tuyuhun that Your Highness's heroic appearance on the battlefield is really worthy of me.
He is the son of the Khan of Heaven!"
While speaking, Lu Dongzan also gave a thumbs up and kept shaking his wrist, with an expression of admiration that was beyond words, as if this was not enough to express his admiration for the crown prince [Bayi Chinese Website www.x81zw.me
]wear.
"After entering Guanzhong, the foreign minister learned from officials and people that His Highness was not only proficient in military affairs, but also good at governing the country. Many good policies in the Tang Dynasty were completed under the auspices of His Highness. In addition, today
The foreign minister's admiration for His Highness became even greater due to his call. After returning to China, the foreign minister will definitely report to my family, Zanpu, and ask him to communicate more with His Highness on the governance of the country, so that the two countries of Tang and Tibet can benefit from it.
We will always have good relations in order to benefit the people of both countries..."
There is a saying in the Central Plains that people must ask for something if they are polite. The Tang Dynasty was deeply influenced by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. It has always regarded itself as generous, benevolent, tolerant and tolerant. As long as the two countries are bound to become a brotherhood in the great sense of justice, then the Tang Dynasty will
Tang Dynasty had no reason to intervene in the war between Tibet and Bolu.
Moreover, the purpose of his trip was not only to fight the war between the two countries, but also to complete the marriage mission that had never been achieved. How could he not make the father and son happy!
After hearing Lu Dongzan's compliment, Li Chengqian immediately waved his hand and then said: "The Tang Dynasty relied on force to establish the country. Emperor Taiwu and his majesty won the country in hundreds of battles and it was hard-won. Gu Ye followed suit cautiously. I am not afraid of your jokes.
In many things, I have to bite the bullet and cross the river by feeling the stones, walking on thin ice and not daring to slack off at all.
So, don’t believe what other people say about the talent of dragons and phoenixes, the strength of the sky and the sun, Gu is also an ordinary person with two shoulders carrying a head, it’s not that mysterious.”
"Your Majesty has fully authorized Gu to handle the matter of mediation between you and Bo Lu. Before you come, Gu Ye summoned Feng Shilang and Bo Lu's envoys to learn about the customs of Tubo and Bo Lu.
In my opinion, let’s not fight this war. Not only will it hurt the peace, but it will also cost the people and money. Datang will be the middle man, and you two will stop fighting, and the two countries will be reconciled and exchange their needs. Wouldn’t it be beautiful!”
Well? After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Lu Dongzan's heart skipped a beat. This King Bolu was really amazing. He only sacrificed a princess to allow such a powerful country like the Tang Dynasty to easily side with them. How could this be possible?
, then wouldn’t Tubo’s plan to dominate the plateau be delayed? No, absolutely not!
"Your Highness, are you dissatisfied with the conditions offered by Tubo? If you think they are not enough, we can continue to discuss it. The foreign minister can represent Zanpu with full authority." Lu Dongzan quickly stood up to express his position. Regarding Bo Lu's issue, he was on this trip.
Determined to win, no matter how high the cost, he must turn this matter around, at least to keep Datang neutral.
"Foreign ministers don't like this. All the royal families who fled from Tuyuhun to our country will be handed over to the Tang Dynasty, and troops will be sent to assist the Tang Dynasty in encircling and suppressing the stragglers on the western front. At the same time, the three cities west of Songzhou that were occupied by our country during the Sui Dynasty will be returned. What do you think?
?”
Haha..., while smiling politely, Li Chengqian also buried Lu Dongzan severely in his heart. What are you thinking, ah, let you destroy all the small countries around you, save up.
Will we advance eastward after gaining strength?
The Tuyuhun royal family is nothing. Without land and troops, they are worse than toothless tigers. Why do I want them to come back? Are they a waste of food?
Three cities are good, but I am not in a hurry. One day your land will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty like Tuyuhun. Now we only need to trip your legs and trap your hands and feet.
Chapter completed!
