"What the teacher means is that when Tubo is full, he will bite the Central Plains in turn?"

Li Er nodded and said, "Gu Qing, you are a smart person. I understand your intentions. You want to use academy to bind the hearts of Tubo and trade to bind the hearts of Tubo. This can certainly achieve the purpose you want. What I want Tubo to become. Just like you said, let Tubo children learn the Book of Songs in Guanzhong and learn the etiquette of Guanzhong, and dig out the hearts of the people of the Tubo people from the root and let Tubo join the Central Plains. Your ideas and starting points are good, but there are bad roots in the end. You cannot completely ensure that Tubo will do what will happen after he recovers his vitality."

"It's true that there's no way to be fully sure." Gu Qing nodded.

The butterfly effect has been thinking about for a long time. The process of history begins to operate according to the trajectory in my memory. Many things can be predicted by myself. Once things are qualifying, the variables will happen are not something I can predict. Who knows how big the wings of the butterfly will cause? Many times I don’t know what the next step of the times will be.

Fang Xuanling continued, "At the same time, Tubo has now set his sights on Tianzhu. The court has been quarreling because of this matter. Have you ever thought about what to do with it?"

After walking back and forth for a long time, Gu Qing spoke, "What's wrong with Tianzhu now?"

"This is a memorial sent by the Tubo county magistrate." Li Er asked Wang Qin to hand over the memorial to Gu Qing.

After opening it, Gu Qing looked at the content above and said that Tianzhu was already preparing to go to war with Tubo.

"This is an urgent report sent yesterday." Li Er continued.

Fang Xuanling also looked solemn, "Things are more complicated than I thought. Once Tubo attacks Tianzhu, Persia and Dashi will not be peaceful. Since the second expedition, the entire trade route has been peaceful for a short time, but many hidden dangers are still there."

It was still the Silk Road. The war between Tubo and Tianzhu was aroused by one move. The Tubo regime seemed to be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. However, when Songtsen Gampo returned to Tubo, there were many people following Songtsen Gampo. The old Tubo system was a tribe. This was not like the counties in the Central Plains. The counties were easy to manage, but the tribes were different. The management of tribes was completely different from that in the Central Plains. The leaders of each tribe have always managed the tribes.

Songtsen Gampo directly commanded all the Tubo tribes. Guanzhong officials sent to Tubo need to adapt to the custom of Tubo. It is not a matter of change every day, otherwise it will cause great disgust in Tubo, and it will easily go against its wishes. This is the crux of Tubo. This crux can easily cause a large number of chain reactions. Even if the Central Plains take over Tubo and take over Tubo, it will take a long time to completely control Tubo.

During this period, people know how many years it will take for Tubo to become a person from the Central Plains, and Li Er and Fang Xuanling's concerns are correct.

"What are you thinking?" Li Er nodded and looked at Gu Qing.

"I thought it would be better to limit Tubo instead of being afraid that Tubo would come and bite him back all day long."

"Tell me," Li Er sat calmly.

Gu Qing continued, "There are many voices in the court nowadays. In order to ensure the peace of the Silk Road, some people will say that they will mediate the conflict between Tubo and Tianzhu. They are nothing more than to mobilize troops into Tubo or send envoys. However, no matter how these two actions are done, they will arouse Tubo's disgust. Tubo will think that the Central Plains came to Tubo so blatantly and pointed at it, and they have regarded the Tubo people as servants. This is what we must be careful."

"So do you think that no matter whether the troops are sent or the envoys will cause conflicts in Tubo?" Li Er said.

"That's right." Gu Qing nodded, "In fact, it's better to do this. We will help and mediate Tianzhu, send people to Tianzhu to support Tianzhu, and make Tianzhu give up the plan to fight against Tubo, and then support Tianzhu to restrict Tubo. If Tubo wants to make any strange moves, they will also see if Tianzhu around them will seize the way out."

Fang Xuanling wanted to Li Er nodded and expressed pertinence to Gu Qing's approach.

"It's a bit like surrounding Wei and saving Zhao?"

"Yes." Gu Qing'er said, "There is also the problem of Persia. The grudge between Persia and Dashi is actually very clear. Territory and resources. Dashi is the end of the Silk Road. Persia occupies the main road of the Silk Road. Many benefits are eaten by Persia. Dashi will naturally have ideas. The war in the first place almost exhausted Persia's national strength. Dashi still has ideas about Persia, but Persia also hates Dashi. This contradiction is difficult to resolve. It is already a deep hatred of blood."

"So," Li Erdao.

"In fact, the geographical location of Tianzhu is easy to use." Gu Qing continued, "Send envoys to Tianzhu to form an army to maintain the stability of the Silk Road, and at the same time, let Tubo form an army to maintain the stability of the Silk Road. We in Persia still have many troops, right?"

"Li Daliang's son is now in Persia, almost on par with the Persian king." Fang Xuanling added.

"That's it. We will support Tianzhu first and let Tubo look forward to it. At the same time, Tubo, like Persia, set up a unit to maintain the stability of the Silk Road. A wolf may make a fuss, but a group of wolves of equal strength will not move around easily. When they each take precautions, they will not dare to bite people."

Li Er replied: "Will your approach allow them to gradually maintain the stability of the Silk Road in the army, will it be easier to inspire conflicts and start war?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, listen to me." Gu Qing continued: "Actually, my idea came from the time of King Xian of Zhou. When the Zhou Dynasty was about to be destroyed, wars among the various vassal states were in full swing. Of course, two characters appeared at that time, Guiguzi's disciples Sun Bin and Pang Juan. These two were off topic. At that time, Qi, Wei and Chu were fighting in the Central Plains. King Xian of Zhou made a battle, Zhanghe Alliance, to let the various countries quit. However, the Zhou Dynasty was already weak at that time, and the various vassal states were just dealing with it on the surface, which was useless."

"I understand." Fang Xuanling said to Li Er, "Gu Qing's idea was to stage an alliance between Tubo, Tianzhu and Persia. The alliance was organized with our Tang Dynasty as the leader. The failure of the Zhanghe Alliance was due to the weakness of the Zhou Dynasty, but who dared not to obey the Tang Dynasty's military front now?"

"It is a good game to deduce the current situation of the Zhanghe League to the West today." Li Er nodded, "I still don't understand why you have to let them form an army to maintain the stability of the trade route even if they want to join forces. Isn't it a bit unnecessary?"

"Your Majesty must do this." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
