Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 351 Purple Training Card 【Heavenly Generals】

Tubo, love some cities.

As the royal capital of the Tubo Dynasty today, Luoxie City is very different from the other simple and dilapidated cities in Tubo.Tall city walls, palace houses, newly built temples, wide roads, dense canals...

Those things necessary for a city, this logical city, is not lacking in any of them.

Local vendors selling goods along the street, nobles wearing Tubo costumes, and caravans from various countries in different costumes are constantly coming and going in the city, making it very prosperous.

Perhaps in the eyes of the people of Yun and Xia, these cities are not as good as some big cities in some places.But within the territory of Tubo, it is a well-deserved economic, political and cultural center.

In the center of the city, the Tubo Palace stands here.

Although it is far less magnificent than the palaces of Yun and Xia, they are incomparably majestic.But against the background of snow-capped mountains and blue sky, there is also a special scene, which is full of magnificence.

In today's Tubo palace, gorgeously dressed Tubo nobles and court ministers gathered in the main hall, facing the Tubo lord Abandon Nieqi on the throne, and saluted with their chests together.

This Tubo hero is in his forties, and his figure is not tall, but he is extremely strong.The appearance is not outstanding, with two well-built mustaches on his lips.With every gesture of his hand, he gives people a kind of majestic demeanor that is proud and uplifting.

Qi Nieqi looked around at the Tubo dignitaries in the hall, laughed a few times, and said:

"Today's banquet is only for distinguished guests who came from afar. You need to treat me well, and don't let the distinguished guests say that I don't know etiquette in Tubo!"

All the people in the hall immediately stroked their chests and saluted, saying in unison:
"Follow Zanpu's orders!"

On the banquet, the special food of Tubo can't be said to be particularly delicious, but it has a special flavor.The beautiful maids in the palace are dressed in Tubo costumes, and their dancing figures are extremely gentle, which is very pleasing to the eye.

While everyone was pushing cups and changing cups, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and warm.

But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.

"Report to Zanpu, Mr. Sipon Dorji Lang, please see him outside the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

The wine glasses held in the hands of all the people present stagnated, and they subconsciously looked at the abandoned Nie Qi.

When Qi Nieqi heard the words, his eyes moved, he was silent for a while, then put down the wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, let him come in. There are just some things that I need to ask him personally!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, Duoji, the leader of the Lang family, walked quickly into the hall while wailing, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a mournful voice:
"Duoji, meet Zanpu!"

At this time, Dorje's face was covered with blood, the gorgeous clothes on his body had become filthy, and there were many scars on his body, and he looked very embarrassed.

Duoji sent troops to occupy the three counties of Xiangzhou County, and it took only more than two months to add up, before he threw away his armor and armor, and was defeated all the way.

In Tubo, the soldiers of the Lang family, known for their ability to fight well and be invincible, had no resistance at all in front of the soldiers of the Yun Kingdom led by Jiang Wei.

More than 1000 armored soldiers used to be able to shock Tubo in the past, but under the charge of the Yunguo cavalry, they broke the line of defense in just one encounter, and the entire army was wiped out after half an hour.

Tens of thousands of Tubo miscellaneous soldiers, burning, killing and looting are okay.But in the face of Yunguo soldiers and horses, it was a dimensionality reduction attack, and they fled directly.He was chased and killed by the soldiers of Yunguo with weak soldiers and horses, and he suffered a crushing defeat.

However, these miscellaneous soldiers recruited temporarily are better than pigs.

They fled all over the mountains and plains, forcing the Yun army to encircle and arrest these scattered Tubo soldiers, but Duoji found an opportunity, rushed out with only a few cronies, fled all the way in a hurry, and finally returned to Luoxie City.

Many Tubo dignitaries in the palace couldn't help whispering timidly when they saw Dorji's distressed appearance at this time, and many of them even let out meaningful laughter unabashedly.

Dorje has a violent temper, oppressing the people in the territory internally, and aggressive externally.Such a person knows that his popularity is not good.

Seeing Dorji's unlucky appearance at this time, except for some Tubo dignitaries who used to share his stink with his expressionless faces, the rest of the people in the temple have begun to show gloating expressions.

Dorje, who was kneeling on the ground, flushed red when he heard the mocking sound in his ear.At this moment, he couldn't help secretly hating, clenching his teeth, already cursing these people in his heart.

Dorje lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said in grief and indignation:
"Zanpu, those damn Yun people attacked my territory and slaughtered my soldiers and horses. Dorje was blessed by the Dragon God, and he was able to escape back just now. Zanpu, you are the king of Dorji, the king of Tubo, Duoji has been wronged, and I hope that Zanpu can seek justice for Duoji from the damn Yun people!"

As soon as this remark came out, the laughter in the hall suddenly became louder.As if they heard some joke, the Tubo dignitaries all laughed out loud, and the whole hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Everyone looked at Dorji with mocking contempt, as if they were not afraid of offending him at all, and they were not worried about Dorji's future revenge at all.

Duoji, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt something in his heart, and subconsciously noticed something was wrong.

It was a matter of the dignity of the Tubo kingdom. Hearing that Yunguo had invaded, why didn't any of the Tubo aristocrats and ministers in the palace show any indignation?
Thinking of this, Duoji raised his head slightly, and looked at several Tibetan dignitaries who were familiar with him.

However, these dignitaries who had frequent contacts with Dorje in the past either looked indifferent or looked away, and no one responded to Dorji's eyes.

For a moment, Duoji's heart sank.

And Qi Nieqi, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Dorji with a trace of disgust at this time, and said coldly:
"When did the three counties of Jinchuan, Yin'en, and Chongde become your territory?"

The cold voice immediately made Duoji's pupils shrink, and his back felt cold.

In fact, Duoji sent troops because he coveted the wealth of the three counties and was moved by the gold and silver sent by the Xia people.But these are not the main reasons!

The man from Xia who met him at the beginning said that he would force Abandoned Nie Qi to send troops with great righteousness.

He didn't quite understand what "righteousness" was, but he could also understand that using the name of Yunguo's invasion of Tubo's territory could indeed arouse the indignation of the domestic dignitaries and force Abandoned Nieqi to confront Yunguo.

Abandoning Nie Qi wants to maintain the domestic rule and confront the Yun Kingdom, so it is impossible to send too many of his cronies to the border, so it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the border tribes.

The Lang family is one of the few tribes in the Tubo Kingdom that directly borders the Yun Kingdom.

This is why he, Duoji, agreed to Xia Guo to send troops and offended Yun Guo!
It's just that he didn't expect that Yunguo's soldiers and horses would be so brave and good at fighting, and the more than a thousand soldiers he had carefully trained would be wiped out in one battle.The tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers who had been conscripted were also completely disbanded, which severely damaged his vitality in the first battle.

In his heart, he hated Xia Guo's insidiousness and Yun Guo's bullying the weak. In order to get revenge, he could only grit his teeth and continue to follow Xia Guo's plan. Into the confrontation with Yunguo.

Originally, according to the plan, he should have concealed the fact that he captured the land of the three counties first, and then used the excuse of Yunguo to lead troops to invade the Lang family's territory, so that the domestic dignitaries who were already dissatisfied with Qi Nieqi would use the excuse to force Qi Nieqi to confront him. cloud country.

But what is terrible now is that, for some reason, the news that he sent troops to capture the three counties first spread back to Luoxie City.

Yunguo invaded the territory of Tubo and Duoji took it upon himself. The public opinion in Tubo is very different!

Dorje swallowed his saliva, and could only argue strongly:
"Hui, Hui Zanpu, the land of the three counties was given to me by the Xia people... I accept it on behalf of Zanpu. I wanted to report the good news to you quickly, but I didn't want Yunguo to suddenly invade. Duoji was powerless Guarding the territory for you, please forgive Zanpu!"

When Qi Nieqi heard the words, his brows twitched suddenly, and he immediately revealed a look of rage, saying:
"People who are full of lies will definitely be punished by the Dragon God! Xia Guo and I, Tubo, don't communicate often, and we have no friendship with each other. How could it be so easy to give me the land of the three counties?"

Dorji heard the words at this time, and hurriedly continued:
"My God, I, Dorji, did not lie to you. The land of the three counties was indeed given to me by Xia Guo... to Zanpu!"

When Qi Nieqi heard the words, he stroked his beard, pretending to be hesitant, and said:

"Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, I'm afraid I can't convince..."

Before the words fell, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Evidence? This officer just happens to have it!"

The Mandarin of the Central Plains sounded in the Tubo palace at this time, which seemed particularly unharmonious.

Dorje suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.All the Tubo dignitaries also cast their gazes together.

On the seat next to Qi Nie Qi, there was a young official with a tall and straight figure and a resolute and brave face, but wearing the court uniform of a civil servant of Yunguo.

At this time, the official was looking at Duoji who was kneeling on the ground with a sneer on his face.

Duoji had just noticed this young official at this time, and when he saw the Yunguo court uniform he was wearing, he suddenly showed shock.

Back then on the battlefield, the leader of Yun Jun wore this suit of clothes.

No wonder Qi Nie Qi was able to know the situation on the border so clearly.It turns out that the envoys from Yun Kingdom have already arrived!
Next to the young official of Yunguo, there was an interpreter who was proficient in Tubo, and immediately translated the words from the beginning to the end.

Hearing these words from the Yunguo official at this time, Qi Nieqi was slightly taken aback.

As the recognized leader of Tubo, Qi Nieqi is not a fool. He can obviously understand what Dorji said just now. The land of the three counties was given to Tubo by Xia Guo, but he just wanted to excuse himself.

The reason why Qi Nieqi asked pretending to be puzzled was that he had other thoughts.

The country of Yun was powerful, so Tubo naturally couldn't get the land of these three counties.But using this as an excuse, it might not be possible to get a little more benefit from Yun Guo!

But Qi Nieqi never imagined that the envoy of Yun Kingdom not only did not refute according to his own idea, but instead said something directly, and he had evidence in his hand.

All of a sudden, Qi Nieqi was a little helpless.

"Your envoy, what does this mean?" Qi Nieqi held back for a while before asking.

The young Yunguo official stood up slowly, took a deep look at Qi Nieqi, and said with a sneer:
"I have evidence in my hands, which can prove that this person colluded with Xia Guo, and used the land of the three counties as a bait, intending to provoke a fight between me, Dayun, and Tubo!"

While speaking, he took out a thick letter from his wide sleeve, put it on the table in front of him, and continued:

"If Zanpu is deceived by the bait deliberately thrown out by Xia Guo and blinded by the bewitching words of these villains, although he can get the land of the three counties, he will lose peace with me, Dayun!"

"If that's the case, most of my tea-horse business in Dayun will be cut off. And Tubo's cattle, horses, and green salt will also be unable to sell. It will also be impossible to obtain ironware, tea, and cloth that Tubo needs. In the past, the peaceful The border between the two countries will also be full of voices of slaughter. The two countries have lost peace, but they can't gain any benefits, it's just for nothing to benefit Xia!"

Having said that, the young official of Yunguo turned his head to look at Qi Nieqi, tapped the letter twice with his fingers, and said in a deep voice:
"Zamp, do you really think this result will be good?"

The entourage, who was proficient in Tubo language, stammered and translated the words of the official of Yunguo.

In the main hall, all the Tubo nobles fell silent.Even Duoji was a little speechless at this time.

The tea-horse business road, one of the most important business roads, started from the territory of Yunguo, passed through the territory of Tubo, and extended to the Western Regions. It traded with various countries and brought countless wealth to the two countries.

Therefore, once Yunguo and Tubo turned against each other, it would obviously not be a good thing for each of them!
Qi Nieqi moved his lips, and immediately revealed a smile, picked up the wine cup at hand, and said:
"Your emissary is very reasonable. I was almost fooled by Xia Guo's tricks!"

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Abandoned Nie Qi's political stature, which can be recognized instantly, is not enough to make people look up to him.

Faced with Qi Nieqi's apology and toast, the young Yunguo official nodded slightly, then turned his head and looked at Duoji kneeling in the hall with a cold face, and said sharply:

"Those who have ulterior motives and try to stir up a war between the two countries must have just pretended to be loyal to Zanpu. Are you really going to let him go?"

When Qi Nieqi heard the words, his eyes froze immediately, he pointed at Duoji, and shouted:
"Come here, take Lang's Dorji down, and let Changben deal with the crime!"

Changben, the official in charge of the law in the Tubo court, is similar to the Dali Temple in Yunguo.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the official of Yunguo say loudly:
"No need! If such people are not killed, it will not be enough to quell the criticisms of the two countries, and it will not be enough to comfort the innocent people who died because of it! What other crimes need to be punished?"

While speaking, under the astonished gazes of the Tubo dignitaries in the palace, he walked straight down from the banquet, and then without waiting for everyone to react, he suddenly pulled out the waist saber of the Tubo guards in the palace, and walked towards Dorje who was kneeling on the ground.

Immediately, exclamations sounded in the hall.

"Your envoy stop...quick, stop it!" Qi Nieqi couldn't help exclaiming.

The Tubo guards in the palace rushed forward in a panic, trying to stop the Yunguo official.

But to everyone's surprise, this official of Yunguo showed an extremely astonishing martial arts at this time.

The swift movement, the gorgeous and spacious Yunguo court clothes fluttered in the Tubo hall, and all the Tubo guards stepped forward, but they couldn't even touch the edge of his court clothes.

The population of Tubo is small, the national power is not strong, and the martial arts system is not as good as that of the Central Plains and Tiannan. Therefore, compared with the well-trained army, the martial arts masters are really not cost-effective.

So even if the Lord of Tubo abandoned Nie Qi's side, there were not many high-ranking warriors to guard him. At this time, there was no one who could stop the officials of Yunguo.

Duoji, who was kneeling on the ground, was also startled at this moment. Facing the Yunguo official who came with a knife, he hesitated for a while, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

If the left and right cannot escape death, then they will drag the people of Yunguo to die together!At that time, it will be impossible to explain to Yun Guo, and the war is still unavoidable.Let countless people of the two countries be buried with him!
With a resolute killing intent in his heart, Duoji's figure suddenly exploded, and he rushed towards the officials of Yunguo.

Shot without any scruples, but also with the intention to die, at this time Dorji was already mad, and his power was even more terrifying.Obviously only the cultivation base of the seventh rank, but at this time the aura can touch the realm of the eighth rank, faintly linking the changes of the world.

With the combination of Qi and machine, in an instant, there is a height of two feet, bloody aura is all over the body, and terrifying gods and spirits with bones all over the feet condense out.

The hall was immediately filled with a bloody aura, as if it had turned into a Shura hell, which made the people present feel dizzy and extremely terrified.

The eyes of the Yunguo officials froze, and the aura of the eighth-rank cultivation spread out, and the aura disturbed the power of heaven and earth, and echoed suddenly.

The vision of the incomparable eagle of the gods is condensed at this moment, with a vigorous figure, cold claws and fangs flashing, wings waving, circling down, and pressing down on the vision of the bloody god.

The cry of an eagle suddenly resounded in the ears of everyone in the hall, and those who were shocked by the bloody vision suddenly felt the fear in their hearts dissipate and recede.The vision that Dorje condensed suddenly became extremely illusory, and after a few breaths, it completely dissipated!
Facing Dorje who was attacking brazenly, the light of the knife flashed, and the sound of the long knife piercing the wind came, and then it came abruptly.

With a sound of "dong", Duoji's body suddenly fell down, and his huge head rolled several times on the ground.Blood flowed from the place where his neck was severed, dyeing the ground of the palace hall red.

Everyone in the main hall froze in place at this moment, staring blankly at the official from Yunguo.

No one expected that this envoy from Yun Kingdom was just explaining the importance of peace between the two countries.Then he dared to kill the tribal leader of Tubo directly in front of the Tubo monarchs and ministers in the palace hall, regardless of Zanpu's obstruction.

The Yunguo official casually dropped the long knife in his hand, not paying any attention to the shocked expressions of Tubo monarchs and ministers. He looked down at his new court uniform already stained with blood, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Unlucky, the new court clothes..."

The Yunguo official sighed regretfully, then looked at Qi Nieqi, who was above him, bowed his hands, and said:
"Such people who colluded with the Xia Kingdom and destroyed the peace between the two countries, why bother your ministers? They should be killed directly to maintain the peace between the two countries... Just now I was angry, and the palace lost its dignity for a while, please punish Zanpu!"

On the throne, Qi Nie Qi took a deep breath, picked up his wine glass and took a sip to cover up the shocked expression on his face, and then said in a deep voice:

"Your envoy was furious for a while, so it's understandable...I originally wanted to push this person with heinous crimes before the Dragon God, count his crimes in detail, and then use him as a sacrifice to the gods!"

Qi Nieqi knew very well that the blatant murder by the temple master was just the Yunguo's reply to his thoughts just now.

The deep meaning of this is that Yun Country does not want war, but it is absolutely not afraid of war.

Abandoned Nie Qi is very clear that there is indeed a existence between the two countries that cooperation will benefit both, and separation will harm both.The most important thing is that Yunguo's national strength is strong, while Tubo's national strength is weak.

The two countries are at odds, even if it is because of the advantage of the plateau, there is no need to worry about Yunguo being able to completely destroy Tubo.But how can Tubo's national strength sustain the long-term military confrontation?

Even if Tubo can sustain it, can Zanpu, who is feared and feared by the nobles and nobles in the country because he imitated the Central Plains dynasty and implemented centralized power, can he sustain it?

So the best way for Abandoned Nie Qi at this time is to grit his teeth and eat this sulking...

Hearing this, the official of Yunguo curled his mouth slightly, and immediately bowed down, saying:
"Zanpu understands righteousness deeply, and I, Wang Xuance, admire it!"

[Purple training card, a great army of heavenly generals
Card Effect: After using it, you will have Wang Xuance

Card description: The desert wolf peak is solitary, and the sky is vast and the earth is roaring west.

Wang Xuance, whose date of birth and death is unknown, was an official and diplomat of the Tang Dynasty, and traveled to India several times.Zhenguan's mission in the 21st year coincided with the coup d'état of the ministers of Zhongtianzhu, coveting property and leading troops to plunder.Wang Xuance fled alone, and later issued a call for troops. He borrowed soldiers and horses from Tubo and Nibra, and led the troops to fight for three days.

Strength 85, Literature 79, Wisdom 89, Morality 75, Age 24, Domination 80, Politics 83, Charisma 85, Loyalty 100, Ambition 58
(Card skill: Destroy a country by one person - When Wang Xuance is used as an envoy, reduce the hostility value of the target country. There is a certain probability that the target country will pay tribute and trade. There is a very low probability that the target country will be directly subject to three years) 】

Xiao Cheng drew a new card.

Wang Xuance's attributes are very average, and there is only one person summoned by the card, so it stands to reason that the level of the card should not be too high.However, the card skills carried directly pushed the level of this card to the purple level.

Different from games, in reality, there are too many tricks that can be played with only one "reduce the hostility value of the target country"!
Abandoned Nie Qi laughed twice, asked the hall to be cleaned up, and wanted to continue the banquet as if nothing had happened.But after this incident, the atmosphere can never be restored to the level of enjoyment of the guests and hosts just now.

Seeing this, Wang Xuance didn't want to waste any more time, so he found an excuse, got up and left.

After Wang Xuance left, Qi Nieqi's face became slightly gloomy, and the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.

A group of Tubo dignitaries sat on the banquet with their heads huddled one by one, not daring to leave.

After a moment of silence, Qi Nieqi suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Issuing an order to select brave men from among the various ministries and honor them with gold and silver positions!"

Obviously, the fight just now gave Qi Nie Qi a deeper understanding of how powerful high-level warriors are.

All the Tubo dignitaries present immediately responded in unison:

"Yes!"
