Chapter 157 The decisive battle is coming

The Green Forest and Red Eyebrow Rebellion was a catastrophe. It not only burned Chang'an, but also dug Han Mausoleum. More importantly, it ruined Guanzhong and reduced its population sharply. It was precisely from this point of view that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had to put the capital in Luoyang and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Da Lun was so angry that he asked: "Tang envoy, are you trying to dig our ancestral grave? The Tang Dynasty boasted of its own country of etiquette, how could the theory of etiquette come from?"

There were also those who carried out cremation in Tubo, which was in the Hehuang area. It was influenced by the Dangxiang tribe. It was still buried in the heart of the land. It was very simple to dig their ancestral graves. They could not help but be angry and rebuked in unison: "Tang envoy is hateful! Zanpu, you should kill the Tang envoy and ask the Tang people for guilt!"

Jide Zuzan's face was also gloomy. Chen Wanrong's move was not evil or immoral. He wanted to add the word "女" in front.

Chen Wanrong laughed and nodded, "The great theory is very true. China is a country of etiquette, and civilized people can do such unethical things?"

The ministers breathed a little relieved, but they had not finished breathing yet. Chen Wanrong said, "If we don't do it, it may not be possible for others to do it! If you really retreat into the mountains and become enemies with the Tang Dynasty, we will say whose ancestral tomb has gold, silver and treasures. If you are more cruel, you will say that the Feng Shui there is good, and we will not send troops to protect it and let others do it. What do you think it will be?"

Tubo people were very superstitious and believed in Feng Shui. If this was the case, no matter how many ancestral tombs were dug.

Chen Wanrong said at the end: "You must know that the servants hate you to the core!"

The meaning is very clear. The Tang army would not do such unethical things, but would instigate the Tubo slaves to do them. As long as the Tang army had this meaning, based on the support of the slaves for the Tang army, they would definitely do this.

After saying that, Chen Wanrong looked at Jide Zuzan intentionally or unintentionally, and saw his face changing, his eyes shining with harsh lights. He looked at Chen Wanrong and looked at the ministers.

Chen Wanrong said this to Jide Zuzan, telling him that if he dared to escape into the mountains, his ancestral tomb would definitely be out of stock.

If you want to ask what tombs the slaves want to dig the most, Songtsen Gampo's tomb must be one of them. Songtsen Gampo was indeed a powerful lord of Tubo, and it was him who unified the entire Tibet and made Tubo strong for a while. However, he established a slave country, and he formally established the slave system in Tubo, making the shackles placed on the slaves even more heavy, and the slave hated him in reason.

Seeing the shocked look of the ministers, Chen Wanrong was calm and composed: "Zanpu, the problem is not that serious. I believe that with Zanpu's shrewdness, he will see through the evil intentions of this statement and will not adopt it!"

The Great Theory was dissatisfied at first, and snorted coldly, scolding: "Don't talk nonsense! My Great Theory puts the Great Tubo first and just came up with this strategy. How could I have the intention of being ill-telled?"

Before the decisive battle, it was a great benefit to distract them from the king and his ministers. Chen Wanrong was determined to carry out this profitable thing: "The beautiful words always contain evil intentions! The great theory, at first glance, your proposal is to think about Tubo, but in fact he is framed by Zanpu."

The words shocked everyone. Although the ministers did not believe it, since this matter involved Zanpu, they did not dare to talk nonsense. They could only listen quietly.

"Oh!" Ji Dezuzan was a little interested and asked, "Tang envoy, what do you mean by this? The great discussion on the loyalty and kindness of generations is the pillar of the Great Tubo, and he will not do such a thing."

The Great Lecture was a little relieved: "I'm wise!"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Zanpu, before talking about this, I will first talk to Zanpu about the disadvantages of the hereditary system! The hereditary system was implemented in China, but later it was abolished. Why should it be abolished? That's because the disadvantages of the hereditary system are too great, not only not only not conducive to the appointment of talents, but also threaten the safety of the court."

"Nonsense!" How many of the Tubo ministers and generals who were sitting there were not hereditary? When the disadvantages of the hereditary system were mentioned as digging their ancestral graves, they were all angry and shouted in unison.

The ministers didn't want to hear this topic. As the leader of Tubo, Jide Zuzan wanted to hear this most and asked, "I'll ask the envoy of Tang to speak out."

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Zanpu, and all the lords here. Many of you have read the Han Book and know many stories about the Han people. Today, I will tell you a true story. You are familiar with the history of China and are not unfamiliar with it. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a large state of magistrate called Jin State, which was the leader of the magistrates at that time. This state of Jin State produced a very famous monarch named Duke Wen of Jin. He defeated the powerful state of Chu State at that time in the Battle of Chengpu and greatly boosted the prestige of China.

"But when the Warring States Period was gone, Jin State was gone, where did Jin State go? It was because it was divided. The one who divided Jin State was not the state of the throne, but the aristocratic family of the Jin State, called Han, Zhao and Wei. These three families divided Jin State and established three states. Together with the four major states of the original states, there was the saying "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period".

"The three surnames of Han, Zhao and Wei were all important officials who followed Duke Wen of Jin back then and were trusted by Duke Wen of Jin. At the beginning, they were the most public-minded, but later they became more selfish and began to erode Jin and finally opened up the division of Jin."

Speaking of this, Youran stopped talking and saw that all the ministers looked ashen. Although Jide Zuzan did not speak, he looked approving and asked, "Envoy Tang, what does this have to do with our Tubo?"

Chen Wanrong did not answer the question: "Zanpu, with your wisdom, you won't misunderstand, right? Who is the most beneficial to hereditary? Of course, those big names are the ones, what are the benefits for you Zanpu? No! First, let you have no talents to reuse; second, even if you have talents, you cannot reuse them, and they cannot display their entire learning; third, over time, their power will grow stronger. By then, Zanpu, I won't say it, you will understand."

"Stop your mouth! Don't be apart from our ministers!" Da Lun took the lead in reacting. Chen Wanrong was not kind-hearted and hurriedly scolded: "Zanpu, Tang's nonsense, can't believe it!"

"Don't be impatient after a little while! Don't be impatient after a little while!" Ji Dezuzan waved his hand to the great remarks: "The Tang envoy is familiar with historical facts and talks about historical and historical essays, and it is considered a thing to accompany wine. The Tang envoy should talk about the main topic!"

The hereditary system implemented by Tubo is the most clear about how many difficulties are there. There is no money, no people, and no talents. The only thing that has is the insatiable desire of hereditary aristocracy, who is eager to take the entire Tubo into his pocket.

Chen Wanrong said this to him, but in this situation, you can't be anxious or reveal your thoughts. You have to wait until the time is right.

As long as they let their monarchs and ministers have grudges and suspicions of each other, it will be of great benefit to the decisive battle that will be held soon. This is what Chen Wanrong intended.

Princess Jincheng looked at Chen Wanrong who was talking to him, and was amazed in her heart, "This Tang Dynasty is convenient and talks are openly talking about history, and secretly distracting the relationship between them, the monarch and the ministers. However, what he said is historical facts, which makes people unable to refute!"

"Zanpu asked, I dare not say it clearly!" Chen Wanrong said humbly, and then said: "In my opinion, this discussion is for the sake of Tubo, not for Zanpu, but for his personal plans, which is beneficial to these hereditary masters!"

Another shouting sound came out, and Chen Wanrong ignored it at all: "Zanpu, please think, if you abandon some cities without fighting, what will the people say to you? It is light to scold you for being timid, and it is possible to disrespect you for Zanpu. In Tubo, there are many aristocratic families. If that is true, your wise decision will become rumors. When rumors arise, there will be aristocratic families who have made trouble from the rise of the country..." It stopped abruptly, looked at Jide Zuzan, looked at the ministers for a while, and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Everyone understands that the great treatise will take the opportunity to take the praise of the Master of De and replace it!

This possibility is not lacking, it is very likely! At that time, the status of Jide Zuzan will decline and the prestige will weaken, and the ministers and generals will inevitably be discussed and unable to determine. Some people have the idea of ​​abolishing Jide Zuzan. Furthermore, although the power of the current great theory has been weakened, it is not as great as before Songzan Gampo's restructuring. Among all the ministers, Jide Zuzan has the highest status and the strongest strength. If he comes forward and asks to abolish Jide Zuzan, even if he does not act as Zanpu, there will be no problem in supporting a puppet.

Jide Zuzan is a smart person who knows that the proposal of the great thesis is strategically correct. However, once it becomes a fact, who will believe you at that time? There are only overwhelming rumors and criticisms!

Wisdom can also turn into stupidity!

As for planning a country, you still have to bleed if you know that you can’t do some things!

It was precisely because of this that Jide Zuzan decided to fight a war anyway.

There are still a few ministers who are quick-minded. They also thought of the serious consequences of the great arguments, but they just kept it in their hearts and dared not say it out. What everyone understands is very different from what they put on the table.

Chen Wanrong made this matter clear, and the effect was extraordinary. The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first. They could only look at Jide Zuzan from time to time and look at the pale big statement from time to time.

The great theory is not an incompetent person. At that time, he proposed the idea of ​​abandoning the situation and was full of public intention. Unexpectedly, after Chen Wanrong said this, his public intention became selfish. If he wanted to argue, he would just be more and more darker than he would. If he didn't argue, he was really in trouble!

Looking at the relatively speechless Tubo monarch and minister, Chen Wanrong thought to himself, "This trip is not false! Finally, he stopped Jide Zuzan's idea of ​​abandoning his guard without fighting!"

After Chen Wanrong's comments, Jide Zuzan had no choice but to fight. Of course, the extent to which he fought remains to be discussed.

After being silent for a while, Ji Dezuzan laughed: "Tang envoys are exaggerating! Pretending to be dangerous, we are distracted from our monarch and ministers, and their hearts are punished! However, for your honest words, this matter is assumed to have never happened! Come, Tang envoys, Benzanpu, respects you! Honour your honest nature!"

This is very skillful. On the surface, he criticized Chen Wanrong, but in fact he was affirming Chen Wanrong's statement. It was not that Ji Dezu praising him, but that Chen Wanrong said it was reasonable. This is a lesson learned from China's thousands of years of history and no one can refute it.

The ministers then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was temporarily over. No matter what the outcome of this war, the relationship between Jide Zuzan and the ministers, especially with Dalun, would be very tense. One day, they would fight to the death.

Chen Wanrong secretly praised Jide Zuzan's sophisticated skills, picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you for your unsincereness!"

The two of them clinked a glass and drank it all in one go. Jide Zuzan was very happy to go to Chen Wanrong Liangliang's wine glass, put it down, and said to the ministers: "Although the Tang envoy is the enemy of our Great Tubo, he dares to tell the truth and deserves our respect! I hope you learn more from the Tang envoys, and just say something if you have something to do, and don't hide it!"

The sensitive minister had already heard the meaning of words, and Jide Zuzan admired Chen Wanrong very much. As expected, Jide Zuzan began to recruit Chen Wanrong: "The Tang envoy was so excited that he dared to speak out. In the words of you Han people, it was called "the ancient style of greatness, and Jide Zuzan was very grateful. I wonder if the Tang envoy was willing to serve my Great Tubo? If the Tang envoy was willing to contribute to the Great Tubo, what kind of official do you want to be, just say it."

It was a great honor to let Chen Wanrong choose an official. Even though they knew it was unlikely, they were still nervous for no reason and stared at Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I am grateful for the love of the people! I am a member of the Tang Dynasty, and death is also the soul of the Tang Dynasty! I can't do that kind of humiliating ancestors no matter what!"

The tone is gentle, but it is loud and loud, which is unquestionable!

Jide Zuzan was very sorry and said to the ministers: "You all listen to me. If you meet on the battlefield in the future, you will not hurt the Tang envoy at all! If you meet Tang envoys, capture them alive!"

What he thought to himself was that Chen Wanrong is now an envoy, and it is not good to detain it openly. If he did that, Chen Wanrong would not be willing to use it for him no matter what. If Chen Wanrong captured Chen Wanrong alive on the battlefield, then Chen Wanrong would have nothing to say, so he might as well play the story of Emperor Wu of Han and Jin Il-jeong.

Jin Il-jeong was originally a prince of the Huns and loved Han culture since he was a child. When Huo Qubing went west to Hexi Corridor, Jin Il-jeong was very unlucky and captured Huo Qubing alive. Jin Il-jeong raised good cattle and arranged to raise cattle. He was cautious and polite. He drove the cattle by himself once and drove the cattle by Emperor Wu of Han. The official slaves with him were curious and kept looking at Emperor Wu of Han. Only he maintained his etiquette and did not look at him at all.

Emperor Wu of Han was a person with unique vision. When he discovered his peculiarities, he realized that he was a prince of the Huns. He immediately let him go and asked him to follow him to offer sacrifices. What was most surprising was that Jin Rizhen became one of the four important officials of Emperor Wu of Han. Among the four important officials, only he and Huo Guang survived, and the other two were killed.

The story between Jin Il-jeong and Emperor Wu of Han is actually a good story in Chinese history!

He really appreciates Chen Wanrong and Ji De Zuzan, who is brave and knowledgeable, straightforward and loyal. If he can get Chen Wanrong's help, he believes that the abolition of the hereditary system is likely to succeed.

The ministers were extremely reluctant and had to "follow the order!"

"Zanpu, what you mean is as if I am your prey?" Chen Wanrong shook his head and retorted: "Please rest assured that Zanpu, if we meet on the battlefield, I will not hurt you, and I will capture you alive!"

This is ridiculous, but Ji De Zuzan's reaction made no one think that he laughed loudly, and he laughed very happily and cheerfully: "Okay! Just say it's up! Come on, high high!" His right hand stretched out towards Chen Wanrong.

"This person is smart, resolute, and generous! If it weren't for the enemy, it would be a great pleasure in life!" Chen Wanrong sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand to high-high high with Ji Dezuzan.

Jide Zuzanshun held Chen Wanrong's hand, tightened his strength, and smiled and said, "Tang Envoy is the most upright and courageous man I have ever seen! I, Jide Zuzan admires people like you! Although Tang Envoy is my enemy, I still wish you happiness and happiness forever!"

No matter what purpose he is for or how sincere he is in his words, it is rare for a king to bless his enemy in public! In history throughout the ages, few emperors have such aspirations!

At this moment, Chen Wanrong was really moved and smiled and said, "Thank you Zanpu! I also wish Zanpu can survive after this battle. Then we will get together again and have a good time!"

"Okay! This is exactly what I want! I heard that Zhang Shuo is here, right? He is also a straightforward person, I like it very much! Then, I will pull him up, and the three of us will set up a banquet for a table and drink him for three days and three nights! I am drunk, your arms are pressed on my legs, and my legs are placed on your stomach, and no one cares who it is, how comfortable it is!" Ji De Zuzan agreed readily.

Zhang said that he was very talented and famous, and he was generous and well-known. Of course, there was someone who didn’t agree with him, which was Yao Chong. Correspondingly, Zhang said that he didn’t care about Yao Chong, who was outstanding in politics, because the two were born to be rivals and had to fight for a little bit of a needle. He never gave up until his death!

Everyone knew in their hearts that peace talks are impossible, and they can only be said after the fight, so no one will mention it again. Chen Wanrong came here today. Although what he said was ambition, it was the heart-wrenching problem of Jide Zuzan. No one dared to say such words in Tubo. This was the first time in his life that Jide Zuzan heard such intense words. He had a lot of good feelings for Chen Wanrong, and he had a cup of wine with Chen Wanrong, but he didn't know how much he drank.

It was not until the sun was west that Chen Wanrong said goodbye. If the two countries were not fighting, they would have stopped drunk. However, now that it is not possible, Jide Zuzan led the ministers and generals to personally send Chen Wanrong to the gate of the camp.

Jide Zuzan not only sent Chen Wanrong away in person, but also gave Chen Wanrong a lot of treasures, nose teeth, pearls, tortoiseshells, etc. There were dozens of yaks, and Chen Wanrong said goodbye with these things.

Princess Jincheng has been leaving the Tang Dynasty for a long time. She missed the Tang Dynasty very much. The one she missed the most was Chang'an. She wanted to take this opportunity to inquire with Chen Wanrong, but the time was wrong, so she had to give up.

When Chen Wanrong returned to Tang Camp, Guo Qianguan and the others were watching. When they saw Chen Wanrong, Guo Qianguan smiled and said, "Military Supervisor, what's going on?"

"Super from Zanpu!" Chen Wanrong smiled and briefly explained the story. Guo Qianguan and the others were overjoyed.

Guo Qianguan kept patting Chen Wanrong's shoulders: "Military Supervisor, it's such a wise move to ask you to go this time! Your disagreement can be worth hundreds of thousands of people! The opportunity for a decisive battle is ripe, and we are just waiting for the army in the Western Regions to arrive!"

Ten days later, the Tubo army in the Western Regions finally arrived, and the time for a decisive battle finally came.

A war to create a new historical era is about to begin!
Chapter completed!
