Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 361

Around the large-scale frame, the flag of Yunlong, which symbolizes the country of Yun, and the flag of lion and tiger with wings, which symbolizes Tubo, flutter and dance together.

A large number of Tubo soldiers were riding war horses, scattered around in twos and threes for vigilance.Hundreds of elite Yun Kingdom Forbidden Army, with their weapons and armor never leaving their bodies, guarded the frame at the very center.

But the most eye-catching thing is the one in the team, in the huge cage, that one is slender, completely white without any stray hair, the mane on the neck is mighty, and it has a chill all over its body. A snow-white lion that looks quite miraculous.

It was this snow lion, lying down sickly, extremely lethargic, and seemed not so energetic.

This team was surprisingly the Tubo envoys sent by Tubo Zanpuqi Nieqi to go to Zhongqing City together with the Yunguo delegation.

Several gorgeous Tubo officials in Tubo costumes crowded around the cage respectfully. Feeling the icy air emanating from the snow lion, a Tubo mythical beast, they trembled slightly, and couldn't help but speak in Tubo language. exclaimed:
"A holy beast like a snow mountain, no matter how many times I have seen it with my own eyes, I still can't help but let out a voice of admiration!"

"It is said that when it was just born, it could instantly freeze a warrior with an eighth-level cultivation. If it weren't for the five great protectors who practiced in the snow-capped mountains of the Spaben Sect, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it for myself. Behold its holy figure!"

The Spartan religion is the local religion of Tubo, and it is a relatively primitive religion.Those who believe in dragon gods, mountain gods, sun gods, and moon gods are gods incarnated by mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars, and the sacrifice methods are also stupid and bloody.

However, as the largest religion in Tubo, even though it is more ignorant compared with Buddhism and Taoism in Middle-earth, most of the talented elites in Tubo still gather in Spabon.

Through the combination of Tubo customs and culture, martial arts characteristics, and the scriptures of this teaching, these talents have continuously developed and created, forming a Tubo martial arts school that is completely different from the Chinese martial arts, making Spabon the ancestor of Tubo martial arts. court.

And the Great Protector symbolizes the highest force of the Sparta Bon religion, and is also the top warrior in Tubo!
A group of Tubo envoys looked at the miraculous snow-white lion in front of them, and after a while, they suddenly heard someone say with dissatisfaction:

"This is my Tubo beast, and it should be enshrined in the Snow Mountain Temple! Zanpu doesn't know what he is thinking, but he wants to dedicate it to the emperor of Yunguo!"

Another person sneered and quietly echoed:
"I'm afraid that Zanpu showed such a humble attitude because he was frightened by the people of Yunguo..."

Some people complained in a strange way, and naturally some people refuted it.

"You can't say that, Zanpu also proceeds from the overall situation!"

"There was a gap between the Lang family and the country of Yun, if you don't think of a way to fix it, is it really going to be an enemy of the country of Yun?"

The specific situation of the battle of the three counties in Xiangzhou County has gradually spread throughout Tubo as some of the defeated soldiers fled back.

Thousands of Lang's armored soldiers, the most elite and bravest in Tubo, were defeated by hundreds of cavalry from Yun Kingdom.Of the more than ten thousand soldiers and horses that Lang's temporarily recruited, they couldn't even support a single face-to-face meeting.

In addition, the unstoppable sharpness of Yun Guo's sweep of Li and Xia countries before shocked Tubo Kingdom even more, and clearly realized the insurmountable gap between Yun Guo and Yun Guo.At this time, there was no one in Tubo who was in awe of Dayun.

The person who was refuted frowned, and immediately argued:
"I, Tubo, have the blessing of the Dragon God. Even if there is a war with the Yun people, can they still fight some cities?"

The so-called blessing of the dragon god in the mouth of the Tubo people is actually relying on the fact that ordinary people will have altitude sickness when they come to Tubo.

More than half of the mission led by Wang Xuance fell ill on the way to Tubo, and the remaining envoys who were able to reach Luoxie City either had a special system or had deep internal strength to support them.No matter how elite Yunguo's army is, it cannot overcome it.

This is also the reason why Tubo's national strength has always been weak, and the internal clans are in constant chaos, but they have always been able to exist independently among the countries in the world!
"What about the tea-horse business road? Without the benefits of the tea-horse business road, where would Zanpu get the gold, silver and copper money to support the army and expand its combat readiness? How can it maintain the operation of the court?"

Hearing the intensified quarrel between the two groups of people with different opinions, an elderly Tubo aristocrat with a thick beard and a thin figure frowned, and couldn't help scolding:

"Shut up! Do you want the people of Yun Kingdom to see the ugly appearance of my Tubo nobles?"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd who were about to continue arguing just now stopped resentfully.

Obviously, the prestige of this Tubo nobleman is very high.

Seeing everyone quiet down, the Tubo nobleman paused immediately, and said:
"The Yunguo mission just stopped to take care of the patients, but now it's the end of the day, and it must be time to leave. Let's all go back and get ready!"

All the Tubo nobles heard the words, looked at each other with a cold snort, and then saluted the old man, touching his chest, and said:
"Yes, Lord Nie Chi."

The old man named Nie Chi nodded, and after seeing off a few Tubo nobles, the young men of the tribe who followed behind Nie Chi couldn't resist, and said:
"Master Siben, should we just look at it like this?"

"My family of sheep has worshiped the gods of the snow mountain for generations. The snow lion must be the god of the snow mountain. The blessings bestowed on my family of sheep are the revelation from the snow mountain!"

"Yes! Now Abandoned Nie Qi is constantly looking for excuses to weaken the power of the tribes in the country for the sake of power. This has already betrayed his ancestors' oath to rule Tubo with our tribes. The appearance of the snow lion is the gods Let us stand Rise up against the brutal rule of Qi Nieqi!"

"Lord Siben, Abandoning Nie Qi's groveling to Yun Kingdom has already made many people in the country dissatisfied! This can be seen from the dissatisfied remarks of those adults just now. So we should take advantage of this momentum, Overthrow his rule and install another Zanpu to rule Tubo!"

The Yangtong tribe, one of the most powerful tribes in Tubo, is also one of the many tribes in the southwest of Tubo that believe in the gods of the snow-capped mountains.

Therefore, in the Tubo mythology, the snow lion incarnation of the snow mountain god has an extraordinary meaning to them!
If the snow lion is in the hands of their sheep tribe, as long as it is used properly, it will definitely be able to call on the people in the southwest of Tubo who believe in the snow mountain gods to stand up against Qi Nieqi.

In addition, in Tubo, the many tribes who are dissatisfied with abandoning Nieqi's strengthening of the royal power are really very likely to drive this abandoning Nieqi off the throne!
Nie Chi heard the excited words of the young people in the clan, but his expression was unusually calm, and he said in a deep voice:

"Who told you these words?"

As soon as this remark came out, several young people were taken aback immediately.

Nie Chi shook his head and sighed:

"It's not to belittle you, but I am very aware of your talents. These words are definitely beyond your imagination. The people of Xia Guo are moving so fast, and they have already contacted you secretly."

Without the people in front of him acknowledging, Nie Chi had already concluded that there was a provocation from the people of Xia behind them.

And judging from the speechless and bewildered expressions of these tribal youths, it was obvious that Nie Chi had hit the mark!
"Since Lang's incident, it can be seen that Xia Guo is now trying his best to stir up a fight between Tubo and Yun Guo, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. This time I encourage you to take the snow lion, I'm afraid I also hope to use your hands to attack and kill the Yunguo mission... But such a thing is not good for Tubo!" Nie Chi said in a deep voice.

After a few moments of silence among the young people from the same tribe, one of them suddenly said:

"No, Lord Siben, there are benefits! Even if you can't take the opportunity to overthrow Qi Nieqi this time, at worst you can provoke the relationship between Tubo and Yunguo."

"As long as there is a dispute with Yunguo, Zanpu will need the support of our tribes to mobilize all the forces in the country and maintain a huge army on the border to confront Yunguo. At that time, Tubo will also It will return to the way Zanpu and the tribe ruled Tubo together, isn't this a good thing?"

When Nie Chi heard the words, he closed his eyes slightly, unable to refute for a while!
In truth, the two countries coexist peacefully, and the happiest people are only the people on the border between the two countries.For these tribes, the more critical Tubo is, the more Abandoned Nieqi needs to rely on the strength of these tribes, and the more stable their status will be.

Seeing Nie Chi's hesitant look, another young man immediately said:

"Back then, Sir Siben, you once taught us a Tibetan saying: horse-drawn carriages cannot walk on water. How can ships sail on land?"

Having said that, he pointed to the listless, restless snow-white lion in the cage behind him, and said:
"A divine beast like it that guards the snow-capped mountains should have been galloping across the snow-covered area. But now, just because of Zanpu's words, it actually wants to be sent to the warm cloud country. This is really, too ridiculous... "

When Nie Chi and the others heard this, they subconsciously turned their heads to look into the cage behind them.

He saw the snow lion that was covered in snow white and had an incomparable miraculous power, now lying down listlessly, his extremely agile eyes were full of impatience and impatience.

Just looking at each other, the hearts of everyone, including Nie Chi, suddenly became extremely heavy,

The snow lion in the cage seemed to feel everyone's thoughts, raised his head slightly, and in the vertical pupils of spirituality, a flash of crystal suddenly flashed, revealing a mournful look that made people's hearts tremble.

Nie Chi weighed the pros and cons in his heart, finally took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly became firm, and said in a low voice:

"Perhaps what you said is correct! Then, have you ever prepared anything?"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the young people suddenly showed joy.

"Master Siben, please rest assured, with the help of Xia Guo, we have secretly summoned more than 1000 troops. As long as we find the right time, transfer the Tubo warriors who are on guard outside, and then rush out when the people of Yun Guo have not reacted. Even if we can't kill them all, we can force them to flee back to Yun Country in embarrassment. It is impossible for Yun Country to bear such an insult!"

After being silent for a while, Nie Chi looked at the snow lion in the cage again, nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"It sounds feasible...then you guys, just do it!"

"Yes!"
-
At this time, Wang Xuance, the leader of the Yunguo Mission, was riding back towards the camp on his horse under the protection of a dozen or so forbidden army masters.

At this time, the horse galloped and looked up into the distance, and saw barley all over the field, under the blue sky in the distance, cattle and sheep were everywhere, and there were many horses.This kind of scenery is completely different from the scenery of Middle Earth, and it gives people a sense of the vastness of the world and a sense of comfort.

Before the mission's temporary camp, Wang Xuance's expression was extremely solemn, he turned over suddenly, walked quickly into the carriage, and then picked up a pen to write down the situation he had just left the camp to check.

The second-class bodyguard at the sticky pole who had been accompanying Wang Xuance all this time also followed in, and only after Wang Xuance stopped writing something in his hand did he ask aloud:

"Master Wang, you just finished asking a few Tubo people, and you looked so dignified, but what did you find?"

Wang Xuance carefully dried the ink, closed the books in his hands, and put them away carefully, before saying in a deep voice:
"Previously, I came out of the camp to investigate the customs and customs of Tubo, but I accidentally discovered an extremely important matter!"

Having said that, Wang Xuance suddenly raised his head and said solemnly:
"Just now we have questioned thirteen Tubo people, and eight of them are farmers. They all said that since the first half of last year, the climate in Tubo has changed greatly, and it is no longer as cold as before. It is roughly estimated that the output of Tubo's main food, barley, has increased by [-]% More than enough! Judging from the signs this year, the temperature is more suitable than last year, and I am afraid that the output will be [-]-[-]% more!"

Hearing this, the second-class guard at the sticky pole frowned slightly.

The national strength of a country, in the end, is nothing more than the number of people in the country, food production and other things.

Climate change in Tubo has led to an increase in grain production, and the national strength will inevitably increase in a few years.At that time, will Tubo Kingdom still be as respectful to Yun Kingdom as it is now?

Seeing Wang Xuance's serious expression, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, the guard at the sticky pole couldn't help but exhale again, and persuaded:
"My lord, the crops in this field all depend on climate change. As for God's affairs, no one can say for sure. This year is good, and next year may not be so warm, so you don't have to worry so much!"

After all, even in a prosperous and prosperous place like Xia Guojiangnan, there are still times of disasters.The influence of the weather on the crops in the field is really uncertain.

But Wang Xuance's eyes sank, he shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice:

"It's different, it's different! Last year coincided with a great change in the world, how could it be such a coincidence? So this matter must not be neglected!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xuance said again:

"It's better to report this matter back to Beijing. Your Majesty must pay attention to it, and don't let Tubo take advantage of the opportunity to develop. Once it becomes powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to check and balance!"

Tubo, whose national strength has greatly increased, will not be satisfied with defending the plateau.

And Yunguo is facing the threat of Xiaguo, and it is absolutely impossible to connive at the appearance of a powerful Tubo behind him!

Hearing Wang Xuance's solemnity, the guard at the sticking pole no longer hesitated, and immediately saluted with fists in his hands, saying:
"This subordinate will do it!"
