Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3106 Bottom line for both parties
Lu Dongzan was really panicked.

Li Chengqian's tone was very sincere, and his face was full of concern, but what he said made Lu Dongzan feel cold all over.

Where is this a place to send old people to love?
It is clearly intended to send the old man directly to heaven...

Trying to calm down, Lu Dong sighed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the situation is critical and the battle is tense. Maybe tomorrow Tuyuhun will cross the Qilian Mountains and enter Hexi. Every soldier around Your Highness will be the one who decides the battle. The key to the victory or defeat of the war, how can the strength around you be reduced by escorting the old? You can't raise an army in anger, which will lead to the loss of life. Zanpu is stubborn and extremely conceited. If he believes that the old man is the victim of Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that others will not be able to dispel his desire for revenge. If it leads to war between the two countries , the old man will never rest in peace."

It's not that he is alarmist, Songtsan Gampo is indeed that kind of person.

In order to ease the domestic conflicts in Tubo, Songtsan Gampo wanted to use troops abroad many times, but Lu Dongzan stopped him every time, otherwise Tubo and Datang would not know how many battles they had fought at the moment.

Of course, Songtsan Gampo's intention to attack the Tang Dynasty was not because he was naturally warlike. In fact, he admired the Tang Dynasty very much. But if there is no war, if there is no capture, how can the internal struggles in Tubo be quelled?From ancient times to the present, it has been the only magic weapon to transfer domestic conflicts to foreign countries through war, and it has been tried and tested.

But Lu Dongzan embraced him and prevented him from sending troops to the Tang Dynasty, but it was not that Lu Dongzan was a "pacifist". Contradictory opportunities.

The brewing of highland barley wine seemed to cause endless chaos in Tubo, but in fact it suppressed all contradictions between disobedience and Songtsan Gampo's rule.

Everyone is crazy about making money with one heart and one mind, who has the mind to think about overthrowing Songtsan Gampo?

Once Lu Dongzan is killed, there will be no one to suppress the domestic war elements.At that time, in order to pass on the conflict, no matter who the culprit is, Songtsan Gampo must go to war against Datang.

He had to let the couple in front of him understand that politics is just politics, that is, there is no good or evil, let alone right or wrong.

But please don’t get too carried away, thinking that you can blame Tuyuhun, and then you will be blackmailed. The consequences will probably exceed Datang’s expectations, and the two countries will be completely involved in the flames of war...

Li Chengqian glanced at Fang Jun, who was drinking tea with the old god, secretly amused in his heart, Datang was preoccupied with himself and was doing all he could to deal with Tuyuhun, how could he have any spare energy to resist Tubo?This fellow is indeed wicked, so don't scare Lu Dongzan into a fright.

Then he said with a smile: "The words of the prime minister are deeply lonely. Tubo and Tang Dynasty have different customs, different cultures, and even do not understand the language. It is time to work together, develop independently, and work hard for the well-being of the common people in the world. The damage of war, You and I both have lingering fears, our leaders and people should avoid the outbreak of war, make the world peaceful and the universe peaceful, so as to live up to the support of the people of the world."

Lu Dongzan heaved a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Fang Jun was mostly scaring him, he really knew Fang Jun's temper very well. Won't you be on top for a while and then do messy things?
"His Royal Highness's kind heart is not only a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also for the people of Tubo. I only hope that the two countries will live in good neighborliness and friendship, and never use weapons for generations. This time I came to Chang'an because I acted privately, and I still have Zanpu I was ordered to go to Tuyuhun to dissuade the attempt to dispel the rebellion. However, I have to bear the entrustment of Zanpu, so I have to return to Luoxie City immediately to report to Zanpu, so I can't stay in Chang'an for a long time. Tomorrow morning, the old man will set off to return to Luoxie City. At that time, I will no longer enter the palace to resign from His Highness, please forgive me."

Chang'an is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to go back to some cities and discuss with Zanpu how to deal with the relationship with Tuyuhun and Datang.

Once the war between Datang and Tuyuhun starts, the situation will change rapidly, and Tubo must have more plans in order to gain benefits from it.

Moreover, he really didn't want to deal with Fang Jun. This guy couldn't help acting recklessly, and his thinking was even more unconstrained. From time to time, an idea popped up, which made people unable to resist.

At the beginning, he thought that the "highland barley wine project" was completely within his own expectations, so he was willing to be coerced by Datang, but now he found that Datang's interests in it far surpassed that of Tubo. He didn't dare to move an inch above, so he took the upper hand.

Even though Fang Jun gave him a hard time, he could only bite the bullet and maintain the brewing of highland barley wine, even if he wanted to get off the car, he couldn't get off...

It's better to return to Luoxi City earlier.

Fang Jun said from the side: "Luoxie City is far away from Chang'an, and it is not easy to communicate. Please let me do my best as a landlord and entertain the Prime Minister for a few days. When I go to Hexi, the Prime Minister You might as well go together, and then you can cross the Qilian Mountains and enter Tuyuhun's territory, and then head south all the way back to Tubo."

Lu Dongzan shook his head, and said firmly: "The Duke of Yue's heart, I understand it. It's just that he was ordered by Zanpu, and he was eager to go back and return, so he didn't dare to delay. Next time, next time, wait until Yue The flag of the Duke of Yue is victorious, and the Tuyuhun rebellion is suppressed, so I will come to Chang'an in person to congratulate the Duke of Yue and ask for a glass of wine."

Fang Jun was a little displeased, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "The Prime Minister's trip is far away, even if it is delayed for a day or two, it is not uncommon. Such a resolute refusal to linger for a few days, but look down on XX?"

How could Lu Dongzan be deceived by his dissatisfied attitude?Smiling and shaking his head, he said, "Duke Yue is just joking. Who knows that Duke Yue is now the number one minister in power in the Tang Dynasty, and he is deeply favored by His Royal Highness. He can call the wind and rain in the court and follow his words! He is really old and old. The journey is difficult, and if we can’t set off as soon as possible, we may delay the important event.”

How could he be willing to watch Fang Jun be arrogant in front of him?Even in Chang'an, Fang Jun has to be blocked.

Li Chengqian laughed, this eloquent man obviously refused to accept being suppressed by Fang Jun, and quietly tried to plant a thorn between him, the prince, and Fang Jun...

After saying a few more words, Lu Dongzan resolutely rejected Li Chengqian's invitation to stay and have a meal, and went out of the palace to return to the inn of Honglu Temple, planning to return to Tubo tomorrow.

Only Li Chengqian and Fang Jun were left in the hall.

Li Chengqian asked someone to change a new pot of tea, and when the maid finished serving the tea, he dismissed all of them, and then said to Fang Jun: "If Tubo dare not rashly send troops to support Tuyuhun, there may still be some chances of winning this battle."

But Fang Jun shook his head and said: "Lu Dongzan dare not start the war between Tubo and Datang brazenly, and Songtsan Gampo also has scruples and restrains his hands and feet. But the forces in Tubo are mixed, and the undercurrent under the water is surging. , no one knows when it will erupt. The victory or defeat of this battle cannot be placed on whether Tubo will participate in the war. Your Highness must make up his mind. No matter who the enemy is or how many troops there are, this battle can only be won and cannot be defeated. !"

Right now, the center's control over all parties will reach an unprecedented weak state as His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Expedition and Tuyuhun's upcoming rebellion.

If there is unrest internally, there will be endless debates about whether to fight or to win or lose, and people will be divided. It is very likely that internal disputes will have erupted before the enemy troops approach the city of Chang'an.

Although Tubo is undercurrents and turbulent, Songtsen Gampo's rule is always in danger of being overthrown, so why not the Tang Dynasty?

When it comes to internal strife, rebellion and rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty has been the most professional since ancient times...

Therefore, we must unify the consciousness from top to bottom. No matter what the situation is in this battle, we must work together and go all out. Anyone who treats it negatively or even obstructs it will be the enemy of the entire Tang Dynasty and a traitor. Everyone will win Punish it.

Li Chengqian naturally knew the seriousness, and took it for granted: "Erlang, don't worry, Gu will definitely not soften his heart. This time, whoever wants to hold back, Gu will never let him down!"

Originally, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us in this battle. If some people with ulterior motives in the country were hindered, it would easily lead to the defeat of the war.

Once this battle fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. Regardless of whether Chang'an can be preserved, Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is at an end. There is no need for his father to depose him, and he himself will be ashamed to sit in the position of prince go down.

While the two were talking, a servant outside came in to report that it was Tai Shi who ordered Li Chunfeng to see him.

Fang Jun and Li Chengqian looked at each other, knowing that Li Chunfeng's meeting at this time obviously had already chosen the day to go to Hexi...
