Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2254: Civil strife in the plateau, text benefits

But why did Cen Wenben need to mobilize so much? A hundred elite soldiers, if used properly, would be enough to solve all problems.

Songtsen Gampo actually made quite appropriate arrangements for the Yuan Mongolian envoys and accommodated them in his own palace.

  However, money makes the world go round!

Even though Songtsen Gampo's palace was not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it at least had all the necessary facilities and all kinds of servants.

  Among so many people, if you are really willing to put in the effort, it is not difficult to bribe one or two people like the palace maids!

Moreover, if she could bribe a group of people with the identity of the queen, it would not be a difficult thing. In addition to Songtsan himself, his queen was originally another owner of this palace. With such a natural identity, if she really wanted to bribe a few people, wouldn't that be a simple matter?

Although Songtsen Gampo deliberately kept the specific palace where the Mongolian envoys were located secret, after several twists and turns, Cen Wenben finally determined the location of the Mongolian envoys.

As a result, Cen Wenben led 130 elite soldiers into action.

First, he used the identity of Queen Songtsen Gampo to allow the 130 soldiers to enter the palace gate.

Although the general guarding the palace gate reported to Songtsen Gampo as soon as he realized something was wrong, he did not dare to stop the queen from entering the palace because of his status. If she was going back to her own home, what right did the general have to stop her? If this went too far, even if he was ordered to be executed directly, it would not necessarily be a big deal.

After all, before this, no one had received an order from Songtsen Gampo to stop the queen from returning to the palace.

Therefore, when the general reported to Songtsen Gampo, the troops had already entered Songtsen Gampo's palace.

Cen Wenben knew that time was limited. If he failed to succeed this time, not only would it be more difficult to succeed later, but everything might develop in an unexpected direction.

Therefore, he asked Fan Kuai to lead these people and rush to the palace where the Yuan Mongolian envoy was, regardless of everything, to solve all the problems thoroughly in the shortest time possible and let him put an end to it.

Even if there are obstacles along the way, just kill them directly.

Anyway, as long as they cross this palace wall, other obstacles will be within their acceptable range.

Not to mention, the team is now led by a powerful general like Fan Kuai.

Even in the entire Tubo, no one could defeat Fan Kuai if fighting alone.

Therefore, as expected, the Yuan Mongolian envoy eventually died at the hands of Cen Wenben.

By the time Songtsen Gampo received the news from the general and hurried over with his men, it was too late to save the situation. His men had just arrived, but they also happened to see Fan Kuai chopping off the head of the Yuan Mongol envoy with a single knife.

The next thing was simple. Just as Cen Wenben thought, since it was already a foregone conclusion and one party had been offended, he naturally could not offend the other party. Even if he was forced to do so, it was better than offending two major forces at the same time.

In the adult world, some things may make people angry, but in the end, their decisions are still based on the ultimate interests.

  As for if he explained all this as a conspiracy of the Jin army and told Temujin this, would Temujin believe it? Apart from anything else, at least, how could people like them put all the initiative in the hands of others? How could they expect others to understand?

Therefore, Songtsen Gampo, who was clearly still extremely angry, smiled warmly the next moment. Even Songtsen Gampo accepted Cen Wenben's obvious nonsense of helping him kill the assassin with ill intentions with a smile.

Some things are better to be seen than spoken out. If they are spoken out, nothing can be accomplished.

Since the person is already dead, there is no need to use another dead person to influence him.

  However, how could Songtsen Gampo have expected this?

Cen Wenben's methods were not limited to this. Killing the Yuan Mongolian envoy was only Plan A. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he also prepared a Plan B.

Even when Plan A was being implemented, Gong Yangshuo was secretly tasked with carrying it out.

There has never been only one force on the plateau, Songtsen Gampo. It's just that after so many years, Songtsen Gampo has gradually developed from being unknown to the top force on the plateau. However, this does not mean that there is no one else on the plateau except Songtsen Gampo.

Moreover, the forces on the plateau are hostile to each other, especially Songtsen Gampo, whose ambition to unify the plateau is growing. He has even taken action several times, making the tension on the plateau increasingly tense.

Even not long ago, the Tubo general Lun Qinling and Shang Jiezan joined forces to annex several small Qiang tribes. During this period, they also launched a fierce battle with Li Te, a powerful force among the Qiang people, and in this battle, they killed Qi Wannian, a general under Li Te.

Given the current situation on the plateau, it is actually not difficult to start a civil war on the plateau.

Therefore, Gongyang Shuo secretly disguised himself as an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty and contacted Li Te and Yao Gezhong, two major forces on the plateau, preparing to use a large sum of money to use the two of them to deal with Songtsen Gampo.

As for the reason why Yuan Meng wanted to contact the Qiang people to deal with Songtsen Gampo, it was very simple. The two forces had already formed an alliance, and now he was going to fight a big battle with the Jin army and contact other people to deal with the Jin army's allies. Who could say anything about this?

The Qiang people were the largest mercenary group of the Han Dynasty. They were well-known mercenaries of that era and were the kind that would do things for you if you paid them.

Although the Qiang people in the plateau have not yet reached the level of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, as long as the price is right, these things can be obtained.

Not to mention, Songtsen Gampo was also their enemy. Dealing with their own enemies and getting huge benefits was something that they would certainly not easily refuse.

  As for the so-called benefits, when Princess Wencheng got married, did Li Xiang think that the dozens of carts of dowry he brought were just decorations?

Moreover, knowing that transportation on the plateau was inconvenient, Cen Wenben and his team already had a large amount of funds for their activities.

In some aspects, Li Xiang is never stingy. He would rather tighten his belt than be stingy in some aspects.
