Chapter 518 Volume 5 Tubo, die!(2/2)
"Liu San, let me know, in three days, the court! Officials above the seventh rank must go to court!" After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian said.
Liu San was also stunned when he heard this. The Ming Dynasty was not in the habit of holding great dynasties. It had been more than two years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but it seemed that there had not been many dynasties.
…
Tubo, Loxe, in the palace of Songtsen Gampo.
Songtsen Gampo, who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, looks more mature than Li Chengqian.
Perhaps because of the climate, although Songtsen Gampo was actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, he looked much older.
In the main hall, his uncle Lun Ke'er and Prime Minister Shang Nang sat on both sides, while Lu Dongzan, who was still considered a fledgling, stood in the middle of them.
"A few days ago, the army came to report that our Tibetan warriors suffered heavy casualties due to this massive attack. What do you think?" Songtsen Gampo put down the letter in his hand and asked.
"It is indeed difficult to march these days." Shang Nang said after hearing this, "But this is a matter of life and death for Tubo. How can we give up so easily just because of mere casualties?"
"The theory makes sense." Lun Ke'er also nodded and said, "Although the Ming Dynasty does not pose a threat to Tibet, Li Chengqian's continued aid to Su Pi has exposed his wolf ambitions. If he is allowed to do so,
If it goes on, Supi, with the continuous support of materials and ordnance from the Ming Dynasty, even if it cannot bring down Tubo, it will definitely hinder the development of Tubo.
By then, Ming Dynasty will definitely assist Su Pi and march southward!
This is not a scene I want to see in Tubo."
Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said: "What uncle and Da Lun said are reasonable, but there is one thing you are wrong about."
"Um, I don't know where I made a mistake, I would like to ask Zanpu for some advice." Shang Nang asked.
Even though he was much older than Songtsen Gampo, he never dared to underestimate Songtsen Gampo.
Songtsen Gampo laughed and said: "Li Chengqian will not allow Su Pi to become powerful. If we suffer a big loss in the battle with Su Pi, believe it or not, the target of Li Chengqian's aid will immediately change from Su Pi."
Become us?"
"Huh?" Shang Nang heard this and said, "Zanpu means that Li Chengqian is actually using ourselves to check and balance each other?"
"Yes." Songtsen Gampo said, "Although the Ming Dynasty is strong, we, Tubo, have a geographical advantage. Li Chengqian is not willing to rashly send troops to me, Tubo, unless it is absolutely necessary."
On the contrary, we, Tubo, are condescending to the Ming Dynasty. As long as we unify Tibet, we can pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty at any time.
Therefore, Li Chengqian is not actually supporting Su Pi, he just doesn't want our land to be unified.
After we unify, we will definitely focus our strategic attention on Ming Dynasty.
This is what Li Chengqian doesn't want to see.
It's a pity that those idiots in Supi can't even understand this."
Having said this, Songtsen Gampo cursed for no reason.
But what he said was wrong.
It's not that Mangbo Jetsonbo didn't understand, he had already understood it long ago, but as a king, who would be willing to submit to whom?
"Indeed." Lun Ke'er said, "If we unify Tibet, we will definitely have a direct conflict with the Ming Dynasty. But this also shows that Li Chengqian is still afraid of us."
"It is inevitable to be afraid." Songtsen Gampo said, "But we are also afraid of them."
"Zanpu, why don't I send you as an envoy to Subi to talk to King Subi?" At this moment, Ludongzan said.
On this occasion, Lu Dongzan usually listens more and talks less. After all, his current status is not qualified to criticize Fang Qiu here.
"As an envoy to Subi?" Songtsen Gampo heard this and said with a smile, "Forget it, the Mangbo Jetsonbo man is more stubborn than a stone in a latrine, you can't convince him.
If it were really so easy to convince him, he would have led the Subi troops to submit to Tibet long ago.
Moreover, if you go to his territory, he will not tell you that the two armies are fighting without killing each other."
Songtsen Gampo knew this very well.
However, Lu Dongzan did not want to give up and insisted: "Weichen is willing to give it a try.
If we, Tubo, continue to be so consumed by Supi, it will ultimately be a trouble for our own development.
Moreover, this is the most difficult time for Supi, and Ming Dynasty may be attacked from both sides. If we use reason and emotion at this time, it is difficult to say that we cannot convince them.
After all, this land belongs to us and them, but it definitely does not belong to Han people like Li Chengqian.
Under this general premise, Wei Chen is still confident that he can convince them."
"You may still know something." Songtsen Gampo laughed, "Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty's envoy went to Subi, and I heard that it was a guy named Wang Xuance.
Therefore, your previous plan has been seen through long ago.
Moreover, the Supi army that invaded the Ming Dynasty did not lead the Ming Dynasty's army out of the city.
Those strategies of yours are no longer useful..."
