Chapter 275 Volume 3: Lure the tiger and drive the wolf away? No, I am the guest.
When you are poor in a busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
This sentence is true.
If Li Chengqian still occupied a small hilltop as before, no one except Datang would care about him.
But today is different from the past. You have established your own business and become the king. So sorry, everyone will officially regard you as a person.
This sounds like a curse.
But if you really want to talk about it, it is indeed somewhat flattering.
Of course, to be viewed as a human being, one must be aware of being exploited.
In other words, if you are not worth using, others will not be willing to use you.
This is unavoidable and happens to everyone.
Even if he is Li Chengqian, even if he is the prince of Tang Dynasty, this is the case.
After combining the knowledge he had with the existing information, Li Chengqian finally concluded that this was really Songtsen Gampo's attempt to lure the tiger and drive the wolf away.
He is using himself to help him put down the rebellion.
this……
Although Songtsen Gampo himself had the ability to put down the rebellion, no one knew what price he would have to pay until he succeeded. Since he had the opportunity to let others help him achieve his goal, why didn't he do it?
If it were Li Chengqian, he would be willing to do it.
It's not right or wrong, everyone is like this.
"Your Highness, Songtsen Gampo's move is to make both us and the rebel tribes of Tubo suffer losses! This is really cruel!" Gao Chunxing said, looked at Li Chengqian, and suddenly felt a little hopeless.
He used to think that Li Chengqian was evil enough. When he helped Li Chengqian sort out the news about Tibet, he realized that Songtsen Gampo was not comparable to them.
Think about Xue Rengui again...
Hey, these days, why do young talents like them always feel like they are just pretending to be good at what they do?
Li Chengqian pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "You think, what if I don't fight?"
"No fight?" Gao Chunxing was a little surprised, "If we don't fight, will we let those Tubo people invade the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. Look, Songtsen Gampo wants to lure the tigers and drive away the wolves, right? Let us help them annihilate the rebellious tribes.
But what if we don’t annihilate them?
Not only will we not annihilate them, but out of humanitarianism, the Ming Dynasty’s royal court can also assist them with some food, ordnance, etc. Do you think, if Songtsen Gampo knows about it, will he call me a coward?”
He had just thought a lot about helping Songtsan Gampo unify Tibet. It was a thankless task for him.
He was beaten alive and killed, but in the end Songtsan Gambo got the advantage. This was not in his interests, let alone the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
So, he started to think wrongly.
We're not working for you? Why should we fight to the death against your opponent?
That's not necessary.
Even if I help you annihilate all the rebellious tribes in the end, you won't appreciate my kindness. In that case, why should I do this favor for you?
The key is that he saw an opportunity to plot against Tubo.
He had been focusing on Tuyuhun before, but he really didn't pay much attention to Tubo.
Firstly, the terrain of Tubo is difficult to conquer, and Tubo is so poor that there is not enough oil and water to conquer it.
Secondly, Tubo is not easy to deal with. They have strong beliefs and are very harmonious...
The most important thing is that his current strength is really not good enough to compete with Tubo.
But Songtsen Gampo gave him a chance.
This opportunity is for those rebellious tribes.
"Your Highness, if this is really the case, I guess those soldiers will have some ideas." Gao Chunxing said, "Nowadays, everyone is holding back their energy to make meritorious deeds, and the morale of the soldiers is also high..."
He didn't say the rest, and Li Chengqian also understood.
"This is not what I mean." Li Chengqian waved his hand, "We will definitely fight, but to what extent and what kind of fight we will have the final say.
Songtsen Gampo actually relied on the terrain and thought that we couldn't fight them, so he had no way to defeat them.
Haha, we can't fight, but those tribes in Tubo can't fight?
In this way, in the past few days, we have paid close attention to the news about Tibet. At present, the news we have cannot confirm whether Songtsan Gampo is luring tigers and driving away wolves.
Once confirmed, haha, he wants to lure the tiger to devour the wolf, but I also want to turn against the guest."
Li Chengqian actually wasn't too worried about a large-scale Tibetan attack. Firstly, Songtsen Gampo didn't have the time now, and secondly, he didn't have the strength for the time being.
That being the case, what does he have to worry about?
As for fighting, he has fought less in the past six months?
Back when dozens of people were roaming the Chishui River, he was not afraid. What's more, now, with nearly 40,000 people under his command and hundreds of thousands of people under his rule, it may be difficult to conquer Tibet, but he still has the ability to defend the Chishui River.
Grasp.
…
Outside Riyue Mountain, Samana Qibi finally led his army and set off.
He wasn't too worried. As the younger brother of Qibi Heli, he had fought many battles over the years. He was a member of the horse race and was a born warrior.
Of course, it was inevitable that some people would be added to his team this time by those clan elders.
He had nothing to say about this.
Everyone wants to seize this opportunity, which is correct in itself.
Even Qibi Heli had no objection to this.
To be honest, everyone has made great achievements, which is also a good thing for them.
In court, you always need help from your own people.
But in the border town, Lou Ning and others were exhausted.
Although they have the advantage of occupying the city and there is no danger for the time being, it is really incomparable to that of Riyue Mountain.
The city wall of Riyue Mountain is more than three feet long, but this broken city wall is less than one foot long.
Of course, there is nothing to complain about. It was just to rush for time, and just like that, the planned three buildings turned into this one.
The other two are still silhouettes today.
"General, do you think we were not as fierce as them when we attacked the city?" Lou Zurong asked with some confusion.
At this moment, the battle had just stopped, and everyone was resting on the top of the city for a while.
Lou Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "You compare this city wall with the city wall of Riyue Mountain? What are you thinking about? But if these Tubo people want to break the city, there is no way.
Not to mention, in the past we suffered from this repeated crossbow, but now things have turned around."
"You Lou family members are just soft..." someone said, "If it were our King Ning's army that had gone forward, Riyue Mountain would have been gone long ago. Alas..."
Lou Zurong said disdainfully: "It's not that your King Ning's army was not there at the beginning. Speaking of which, in the battle at Riyue Mountain, your King Ning's army suffered the most heavy casualties. No one of the three thousand King Ning's troops was spared!
What do you have to show off?
More people died than anyone else?"
"Then at least we didn't surrender!" the man choked immediately.
"It doesn't sound like you are helping the Ming Dynasty to guard the border right now?"
"You..." As he said that, the man sighed, "If King Daning hadn't abandoned us, how could we have betrayed him? The one who mistook me for disloyalty is King Daning!"
Lou Ning listened to their quarrel for a long time and said with a smile: "Okay, let's stop arguing. Your King Ning's army is indeed powerful. I admire this.
But now that everyone is working for the Ming Dynasty, forget about those things.
No one is willing to betray him. If we really talk about it, he betrayed us.
If King Daning had not wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I, the Lou family, would not betray him.
After all, he never cared about the life or death of us people."
Speaking of this, everyone started a new round of criticism of King Daning, enumerating Murong Shun's various sins.
The interesting thing about people is that as long as they have a common enemy, they can temporarily stand in the same camp.
Obviously, they are now.
After criticizing King Daning, someone else said: "It's good to be like this now. The King of Ming Dynasty didn't really do anything to us. Who are we selling our lives to?
In the final analysis, this way of breaking the world is just for survival."
"This makes sense. This is just for survival." Someone immediately agreed.
As long as a person finds a reason to convince themselves, they will firmly believe that the choice they made is the right one.
Lou Ning looked at all this without saying much.
These people are actually very interesting. They have grudges and grudges, but they also understand their own situation.
Li Chengqian dared to send them to this place because they all still had concerns.
The night was spent nervously guarding against Tibetan night attacks.
Unfortunately, this night, it was as quiet as anything.
At dawn, as the sun rose in the east, the Tubo people came again to kill.
To be continued...
