Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3143

Once this matter develops according to Zanpu’s expectation, let’s not talk about how the Tang Dynasty will go, the Gar family who is about to leave the town of Qinghai Lake will face the soldiers of the Great Food Kingdom, and there will be no support from Tubo behind them. ...

Is this more than exile?
It is basically sending the Gar family to a dead end.

Lu Dongzan is not someone who just sits and waits to die, he will definitely plan and operate, trying to save the family from this desperate situation.

In this way, in the name of "collaborating with the enemy and treason", Zanpu can justifiably put the Gar family into the position of traitors, making them irreversible...

As for the possible backlash from the Gar family, he has no scruples.

Sangbuza frowned tightly and said nothing.

In my heart, I feel that Zanpu's methods are too mean and cruel...

Moreover, it is unwise to form an alliance with the Great Food Kingdom. The Great Food Kingdom is unable to conquer the plateau, and it is impossible for Tubo to go westward to seek the Western Regions. The battlefield will be in the Western Regions, and the two sides in the battle will be Dashi and Datang.

Tubo got nothing.

Perhaps, it can only be that the master of the Silk Road in the north of Qilian Mountains has changed from Datang to Dashi...

Sambuza was quite dissatisfied with Zamp's decision.

"Zanpu Mingjian, although Tubo is hostile to the Tang Dynasty, both sides wish to swallow each other, and the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, it is difficult to match. However, the Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and its actions are bound by morality and etiquette. Don’t dare to act recklessly, otherwise the domestic public opinion will turn against Yingtian. The Great Food Kingdom is completely different. Its citizens worship gods, are fearless of death and have no bottom line. There are countless of them, all of whom aim at massacre, are predatory and brutal. Compared with them, I would rather be an enemy of Tang Dynasty."

There are many kinds of enemies, like the "Nation of Benevolence and Righteousness" and "Nation of Etiquette" like the Tang Dynasty, who are bound by too many road etiquette, no matter how powerful they are, they are not invincible.The Great Food Country is the exact opposite. Its citizens live by plundering and do not produce at all. They are like locusts passing through thousands of miles of red land, barbaric and ferocious.

Such a lack of civilization, a savage-like enemy, has a better chance of winning against it, but the destructiveness that comes with it is something no one wants to encounter.

Songtsan Gampo took a sip of highland barley wine and looked out the window. The red palace on the top of the mountain in the distance was bathed in the sun, and its outline exuded a faint halo, like a palace in heaven, mysterious and unspeakable.

"The life of a person is as short as the clouds in the sky. We don't know why they come, let alone when they go. When the clouds roll and the clouds disperse, we can't help people at all. We sit in this position, the leader of Tubo, and we should overcome all difficulties to fight for Tubo. Those warm, humid and fertile lands have allowed the people of Tubo to have fields to cultivate and pastures to graze for generations, instead of staying on the plateau and living with the barren land, and their descendants reincarnated in desolation and hardship."

Songtsan Gampo was in a low mood. Ever since he took the position of Zanpu to unify Tubo, he had always been ambitious and full of pride.

But right now, I feel deeply that fate is impermanent and the world is unpredictable.

With a sigh, he continued: "There are merits and demerits, and the descendants will comment on them. At that time, we only need to make decisions that we think are the most beneficial to Tubo, and we have no regrets in death. Why are we afraid of slander? The Tang Dynasty is too powerful. Now, its national strength is far from comparable to that of Tubo. If I follow the steps, it will be difficult for me to complete the hegemony of conquering the plateau and occupying the Central Plains in my life. If I want to lead the people of Tubo to conquer the plateau and occupy the warm land they yearn for, I can only take one risk fight."

Sangbuza was shocked and remained silent.

Tubo's remote location, barren land, and extremely cold climate do not have the advantage of contending for world hegemony.The general trend of the world is like sailing against the current. Either you conquer me, or I conquer you. Peaceful coexistence is only for a while, but in the long run, it is bound to be unified.

Throughout the ages, the gods and ways of life believed by the Tubo people are incompatible with the Han people in the Central Plains, and conflicts between them are inevitable.

If you don't want all the descendants of Tubo to abandon the gods they believe in, and learn Confucianism from the Han people, or even become slaves to the Han people, you can only fight and conquer the Central Plains.

But it's too hard.

For Zanpu, who has lofty ambitions and lofty aspirations, it is really human nature to take risks, fight to the death, and work hard towards his dreams once in his lifetime.

Therefore, Zanpu is willing to "lead the wolf into the house", hoping to use the power of the Arabs to consume Datang, even if it may cause a backlash, the Arabs steal the Central Plains, and even encircle Tubo on the plateau, gradually encroaching on it, and eventually perishing.

This is gambling with Tubo's national fortune.

Sambuza had nothing to say, he was just a courtier, and he was a courtier who had no power of his own and no ambitions. He would not do anything except obey Zanpu's orders.

"Zanpu is wise and mighty, no matter what he chooses, his subordinates will do their best to follow him to the death."

Sambuza made a statement immediately.

Songtsan Gampo was very pleased, and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to send Sairu Gongdun to collect an army and send them out of Shule to help the Arabs attack the Western Regions. What do you think?"

Sangbuza was stunned: "The Arabs assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Western Regions, while the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty was only tens of thousands. The melee in Hexi is imminent, and it is impossible for the country to provide support. Why do we need Tubo to send troops?"

In his view, the Arabs had been preparing for a long time, and the Anxi army would be hard to resist when the large army attacked the Western Regions, and the fall of the Western Regions was inevitable.At this time, Tubo sent troops to help the Arabs, which is tantamount to giving Datang an excuse for nothing, how stupid is it?
Besides, Seru Gongdun is one of the "Four Worthy Ministers", equal to him in status, but more important in martial arts, Songtsen Gampo's most powerful arm in the army, and has always been at odds with Lu Dongzan.

It is really unwise to send such an important minister of Tubo to the Western Regions to assist the Arabs...

Songtsan Gampo didn't think so, he stretched out a finger, and said in a deep voice: "Firearms! You have not seen the power of the Tang army's firearms, so you have this opinion, otherwise you would never have said such words. Of course, the Arabs use war For a living, he is not afraid of fighting to the death, but he may not be able to win in front of the firearms of the Anxi army. When he was smashed in front of the Anxi army, I sent troops to help, and he could gain the trust of the Arabs, otherwise he would be in trouble. If we can't advance an inch in the Western Regions, and can't threaten Hexi and Guanzhong, isn't my plan all in vain?"

He never recognized the fighting power of the Arabs.

Apart from being brave and fearless on the front line after being armed with faith, those barbarians who drink blood are all good in terms of equipment, strategy, and tactics.In the land of Taixi, it is okay to bully the "city lords" who have dozens of armors and hundreds of slaves, but they have no chance of winning against the Anxi army, which is armed to the teeth.

Mu'awiyah personally led an army to attack the Western Regions before, but was beaten until he fled in embarrassment...

And this is also the main reason why he dared to form an alliance with the Great Food Nation.

He didn't believe that the Arabs could go straight to capture the Western Regions and further occupy Hexi, Guanzhong, or even the Central Plains.

At the critical moment, Tubo can send troops halfway anytime and anywhere, as long as the supply line of the Arabs is cut off, they are just a group of toothless dolphins, which can be trampled at will...

Although Sangbuza didn't know why Zanpu was so afraid of firearms, he had always trusted Zanpu's ability, so he didn't object. He just reminded: "Serugondon should pay attention to it. If he can disguise himself to help the Arabs, he won't It's best to make Anxi's army aware of it."

Songtsan Gampo said happily, "You should go and discuss with Seru Gundun on such matters."

He has always known how to decentralize power, and he will never "do everything by himself", and the various forces in Tubo are intricate, even if he wants to attribute Zanpu's full power to one person, it will be difficult to do so, and it will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers of the country, and sudden changes will occur.

Dadou Bagu.

The scorching sun, the scorching sun evaporates the water contained in the earth, and the water vapor rises on the surface of the earth. Looking from a distance, the mirror image is distorted.

The weak water rushing on one side seems to be quieter. It has not rained for many days. This river originating in the north of Kunlun and rushing here through the Gobi Desert is as gentle as a girl. It's flowing.

Before Taniguchi, it seemed like a huge construction site.

The soldiers fought bare-chested, filled the foundation with stones, poured well-mixed cement on it, built them layer by layer, and a solid fortress was uprooted.

Several long walls were built on both sides, and the stones mined from the hillside were continuously transported here. Thousands of peasants recruited from nearby were sweating profusely, and did not slow down their work due to the heat and fatigue. speed.
