Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3141
Bo Lun Zanren's personality is irritable, headstrong and conceited. Hearing that his father actually admired Fang Jun so much, he was immediately dissatisfied and said: "The second Fang Er is only a nobleman, and he became a noble by marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty. He treats him so differently? According to me, Tuyuhun has been planning for a long time, and tens of thousands of cavalry are powerful. Once they cross the Qilian Mountains and rush into Hexi, the Tang army will be irresistible! Later, the Tang Dynasty may be able to counterattack Hexi, but right now, the Hexi counties must Fall into the hands of Tuyuhun!"

Tuyuhun occupied Qinghai Lake. Although it was defeated several times by the Sui and Tang Dynasties and had to rest and recuperate, Tubo bordered it, and there were many times when they fought with each other. The Tubo people knew Tuyuhun's combat power very well.

There are only ten thousand Tang troops in Hexi, and Fang Jun's right guards are only [-], but they have to defend the narrow and wide Hexi counties.
Even if Nuohebo is a pig, he will definitely be able to conquer the Hexi counties...

Lu Dongzan shook his head, ignoring the youngest son's jealousy, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Jun seems to be upright and rude, but in fact he is rough and subtle, and has great wisdom. Since he became an official, he has gone through countless wars, big and small. Against a small country such as Nanyue, or a hero in Mobei such as Xue Yantuo, they have won big victories and have never been defeated. Don't talk about firearms showing power, people are always victorious and undefeated, that is true skill."

After a pause, he glanced at the young son's jealous and ugly face, and continued: "Besides, Fang Jun's ability is not as simple as fighting for supremacy in war. The 'Eastern Datang Company' created by him is now connected to Qihai, colluding East and West, the richness of the bride price is rare in the world. What's more, the man implemented a so-called retro, but actually innovative model in the farm of Lishan in Guanzhong, so that a farm with thousands of people in the district can produce food, create His wealth is no less than that of a mighty city with 10 people. As a father, every time he confronts him, he always benefits a lot from all over the world. This man is amazingly talented, and he definitely deserves the phrase 'the sage of the world'."

When he said these words, the sons looked at each other in blank dismay.

Bo Lun Zan Ren, who was the youngest and most jealous, touched the stubble on his chin and exclaimed, "In today's world, is there really such a capable person?"

Lu Dongzan said decisively: "He is more capable than you imagined!"

What is a "sage"?One cannot be counted as a sage if he is clever and clever, nor can he be considered a sage if he is always victorious and invincible.

Only those who innovate national policies and manage the world are considered sages.

Zan Xiruo looked at his father, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "What does father mean...does the Gar family want to get close to Datang?"

From his father's words and expressions, what he saw was endless fear and admiration.

As the great chancellor of Tubo, he treats a country destined to be hostile like this, the meaning of which is already obvious...

Lu Dongzan sighed all his life, his always wise and bright eyes were dimmed, he pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Tao does not need to be close to the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Gar family is of Tubo blood, how can they communicate with foreign countries and abandon their ancestors?" Make loved ones hurt and enemies happy? But since Zanpu prefers my family to guard Qinghai Lake and become a barrier to isolate Datang, and use the flesh and blood of my family's children to resist Datang, then my family is no better than clinging to loyalty. You need to plan more. At the very least, you can't be hostile to Datang."

Zan Xiruo said: "Since this is the case, then my family should make a show of kindness to Datang, otherwise, when Tuyuhun is defeated, Datang will take advantage of the situation to cross Qilian Mountains to attack Tuyuhun's old place, maybe they will confront my family head-on."

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Now that the family strategy is determined, it should be laid out as soon as possible and show favor to Datang early, instead of waiting until Datang defeats Tuyuhun to prepare for it.

The first step, the next step, the situation is really different.

It's just that, even if the Gar family and Zanpu completely parted ways, on the surface they might still be the same as before, but in fact they have turned against each other.

The situation has not changed much, and it is naturally the same as before.

But as long as the internal situation in Tubo changes, it will be a battle of death and death...

Lu Dong sighed and said: "Other than that, is there any other way to preserve the family? Zanpu has a deep prejudice against me, and I have blocked him from conquering the Tang Dynasty several times. I proposed to ask the Tang Dynasty to marry me. The princess has also declared defeat, and there is no going back to the time when we fought side by side without suspicion."

He was a little sad.

For Songtsan Gampo, a rare British lord of Tubo, he once had high hopes and hoped that he could fully assist him in achieving hegemony, making Tubo a powerful country in the world, improving the national economy and people's livelihood, and freeing countless slaves who were oppressed.

However, to this day, because of the conflict of fundamental interests, Songtsen Gampo did not hesitate to lift him to the front line closest to Datang, and let his flesh and blood defend Tubo against powerful enemies.

This kind of approach that was close to "betrayal" was absolutely unbearable for him.

Immediately, he calmed down and asked about the situation in the Western Regions.

"I heard that Mu'awiyah recruited an army from Damascus to attack the Western Regions?" He asked after taking a sip of tea.

Zan Xiruo nodded and said: "The news is absolutely true, but Damascus has never issued a slogan saying that it is an attack on the Tang Dynasty, but based on the judgment of the situation in the country and the Western Regions, its purpose is to avenge shame. The silk road is completely in the bag."

The Silk Road is a road that flows with gold. Everyone is greedy for the infinite wealth brought by the Silk Road. Countless peoples in the Western Regions have been coveting it for many years.

As long as there is the slightest chance, these Hu tribes will spare no expense to take Silk Road into their pockets and occupy all of its wealth.

The Great Food Kingdom is now running rampant in the West Sea, and the surrounding powerful Rome has been beaten to death by him, and even the Roman Emperor can only hide in Constantinople. To call upon the armies of the Arabians.

Taking advantage of the Tang Dynasty's national expedition to conquer the Western Regions and monopolize the Silk Road, this is indeed an extremely clever strategy.

As long as the Western Regions are conquered and the countries of the Western Regions are brought under their rule, the Arabs' troops can reach Hexi, look at Guanlong in the distance, and approach the heart of Gyeonggi in the Tang Dynasty.

If the timing is right, it might be possible to break through the Guanzhong and drink horses in the Central Plains, and achieve the grand plan of unifying things that countless Western emperors have never been able to accomplish...

Zan Xiruo said: "If that's the case, I will go north in a few days, cross the Qilian Mountains and go to Fang Jun in front of Hexi, and tell him our Gar family's wishes, never send troops to Hexi, and never invade the territory of the Great Tang!"

Since you want to show your favor, then simply give a heavy hammer.

Lu Dongzan stroked his beard and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, and you can tell Fang Jun that if Hexi is at a disadvantage and needs the help of the Gar family, we are bound to do so."

"Duty" is naturally nice to hear. In fact, no one will make people do things for nothing. As long as the interests are sufficient, the Gar family does not reject directly sending troops to Qinghai Lake and taking over Tuyuhun's lair.

Although Tuyuhun has many soldiers and generals, he had an agreement with himself before, so he must go all out for this expedition to Hexi, leaving the rear empty.If we really want to take down Qinghai Lake, I'm afraid it won't take much effort.

As for whether Songtsen Gampo would be dissatisfied...how can he control so much?

Since Songtsan Gampo let the Gar family out of Qinghai Lake, it means that the most basic trust between them has been broken, and from then on they only talk about interests, not friendship.

Since attacking Qinghai Lake according to your request, why can't you take advantage of the emptiness behind Tuyuhun? Does it have to be after Tuyuhun retreats to Qinghai Lake, and head-to-head?
There is no such reason under heaven.

Lu Dongzan's confidence lies in: the Gar family certainly did not dare to openly rebel against Songtsen Gampo, and Songtsen Gampo would never dare to openly attack the Gar family.

As long as they are able to show goodwill to the Tang Dynasty and handle their relationship well, the Gar family can obtain a relatively calm situation, and will not be forced by Songtsan Gampo to have tigers in front and hungry wolves in the back, losing ground and being at a loss. ...

……

On the other side, after Songtsan Gampo sent Lu Dongzan away, he sat quietly in the palace for a long time before he was summoned by the Imperial Minister Sangbuza.

Sangbuza had a dark face, a thin body, two touches of blush on his face, and was hale and hearty. He knelt in front of Songtsan Gampo and saluted him: "I have been summoned to come here. I wonder what Zanpu is talking about?"

Songtsan Gampo looked at the virtuous official who created the characters for Tubo, and was very troubled in his heart. He said sadly, "My talent is not enough to overwhelm the heroes, let alone lead Tubo... Perhaps, the civil strife in Tubo needs to be solved first." It started with the invasion of the Tang Dynasty."
