Chapter 604 Lu Dongzan's Worry

A chance encounter on Tianjie made Lu Dongzan, who was full of confidence in the trip to Chang'an, suddenly worried, as if the road ahead was also cast a shadow.

Qiongbo Bangse, the governor of Houzang area of ​​Tubo, and the biggest authority in Houxue area, Tubo Tsangpo Songtsan Gampo intends to take the state of Xiangxiong, and Zhangxiong is adjacent to Houzang, so Songtsan Gampo and the Tubo court opposed each other. Khyungpo Bangse is very dependent on him, and he has always indulged him.

However, Qiongbo Bangse was so powerful that he even ignored the authority of Songtsan Gampo for a time, and coveted Lu Dongzan's father, Mangxiang Songnang, as the prime minister for a long time. It's just that it can't move for a while because of its power.

Sooner or later, Songtsan Gampo will kill Qiongpo Bangse, Lu Dongzan is sure of this, but only in the current situation, Qiongbo Bangse is still the favorite of Zampo on the surface, how could Li Ke know the secrets of it, Also know so detailed.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future monarch of the Tang court, was so concerned about and familiar with Tubo in the southwestern corner. This feeling of being stared at by the enemy made Lu Dongzan feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't stay safe for a moment.

After Lu Dongzan and Li Ke separated, he was still thinking about this matter in his heart, and felt a little uneasy all the time, so he asked Chang Sun Chong: "The prince just left the city, why?"

Chang Sun Chong vaguely guessed what Lu Dongzan meant, and Chang Sun Chong replied with a smile: "Looking at the prince's appearance, he should be seeing off General Su."

General Su?Since Lu Dongzan was an envoy, he did his homework before coming to the Tang Dynasty. Although he didn't know Su Dingfang, there were not many generals surnamed Su in the Tang Dynasty, and there were even fewer generals who could ask Li Ke to see him off in person. Then this The identity of General Su was naturally ready to be revealed.

Lu Dongzan asked: "Is this General Su the General Zuowei who put down Xue Yantuo and the governor of Mount Lu, Su Dingfang?"

It is no secret that Su Dingfang is the governor of Liangzhou. Chang Sun Chong smiled and shook his head and replied: "General Su is the general of Zuowei, but he is no longer the governor of Lushan. Now General Su is the governor of Liangzhou, in charge of the northwest. Frontier State Military Affairs."

Lu Dongzan listened to Changsun Chong's words, and his heart twisted. The governor of Liangzhou garrisoned the northwest and restrained Tuyuhun, and his main defense was Tubo. Lu Dongzan didn't expect that the one who passed him just now was their enemy.Moreover, looking at the appearance of Li Ke and Su Dingfang just now, it is obvious that they are extremely close, and Lu Dongzan can't help being a little more worried about Su Dingfang, the new governor of Liangzhou.

Lu Dongzan continued to ask: "Changsun Shilang, I just heard what the prince said, and he seems to be very familiar with us in Tubo."

Changsun Chong replied: "That's natural. The crown prince is a heroic man who is familiar with state affairs and knows a lot about the border states of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo is no exception."

Lu Dongzan had already been familiar with Li Ke carefully before he arrived in Chang'an. The youth was the hostage, Huainan was used to control the waters, Hedong was quelled, and Mobei was established with a tripod.

Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo is about the same age as Li Ke, even two years older than Li Ke. The people of Tubo say that Songtsan Gampo is a genius from the sky, the holy lord of Tubo, far surpassing the kings of all dynasties, that is Ludong Zan himself thinks so too.

But after meeting Li Ke just now, Lu Dongzan was shaken. It seems that Li Ke, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is even better than Songtsan Gampo. At least Li Ke put pressure on Lu Dongzan. What Budu had never given him, Lu Dongzan's original ambitious plan was a little more shaken.

Originally, in Lu Dongzan's view, Li Shimin was indeed the hero of the world. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled in the world, with unparalleled military prowess, and Tubo was no match for it.But both Lu Dongzan and Songtsan Gampo are younger than Li Shimin. Li Shimin is in power, so they can't touch the Tang Dynasty, but once Li Shimin is no longer the emperor, it will be a good opportunity for them to enter the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems Not so again.

Li Shimin and the others can't afford to provoke them, and it seems that they can't provoke Li Ke either. Lu Dongzan recalled in his mind the appearance of Li Ke who was handsome just now, but showed his sharpness when talking and laughing, his eyes were like lightning, and he seemed to be able to read people's hearts. If there is a choice, Lu Dongzan is absolutely unwilling to be an enemy of such a person.

After Lu Dongzan and Sun Chong, the head of the Tubo mission, settled down in Honglu Temple, as soon as the Tang officials left, Lu Dongzan quickly found the deputy envoy of the tribute, Sang Buza, and called him to his room.

Sang Buza and Lu Dongzan are very familiar, and it is not the first time that Songtsan Gampo forced to marry Princess Chizun, he and Lu Dongzan were the envoys, and they can be regarded as old partners .

"The prince Li Ke we met on the road just now, do you still remember?" Lu Dongzan asked Sangbuza as he came up.

Sangbuza replied: "Of course I remember that His Royal Highness is a bit confusing, and I'm afraid he is not very friendly to us Tubo."

Lu Dong praised: "Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that the prince of the Tang Dynasty is a martial artist. He led the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo back then. His ability to become a prince has a lot to do with the achievement of destroying Xue Yantuo. I just read what he said. It seems to us Tubo is very familiar."

Sangbuza asked: "Li Ke is indeed a little too familiar with us Tubo, since he still knows about Qiongbo Bangse and Zhang Zhung, Zanpu wants to attack Xiang Zhuong, not many people in the country know about it .”

Lu Dong praised: "Do you think that the Tang Dynasty has elaborate works in our Tubo country?"

Sangbuza said: "If Li Ke really had a secret work in Tubo, I'm afraid he was an important minister around Zanpu, otherwise it would be impossible to know about it."

Tubo's desire to take Zhang Zhung is a major event, and it is even more top secret. No more than ten people in Tubo know about it, and they are all Zanpu's confidants and close officials. How does Li Ke know about this?Li Ke naturally had an eyeliner placed beside Songtsan Gampo, and he was also a senior official and close minister.

Lu Dongzan nodded and said worriedly: "If that's the case, then I, Tubo, will be in danger. You should send a message to Zanpu immediately, and ask Zanpu to thoroughly investigate everyone around you, and you must not let the Tang Dynasty's detailed work go unnoticed." .”

Tubo is going to confront the Tang Dynasty in the future, if Songtsan Gampo's close ministers still have Li Ke's secret work, that's not bad.Lu Dongzan didn't know if he could dig out the "secret work" by sending this letter back to Tubo, but because of this letter, the whole Luoxi city should be in a state of chaos.

After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he asked Sang Buza: "Do you still know Li Ke's preferences?"

Sangbuza said: "Are you intending to form a friendship and bribe Li Ke?"

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the Tang court. It may not be easy to bribe him, but if he can meet him, at least he can find out some details, find out the rumors, and know his attitude towards us. , it would be the best if we can make friends with him."

Sangbuza replied: "I heard from people in Tang Dynasty that His Royal Highness seems to like beautiful women the most, and the place he likes to go most is the brothel, but we didn't bring any beauties here, and His Royal Highness has seen countless people. We Tubo His beauty may not be able to catch his eyes."

Lu Dongzan thought for a while and said: "Since Li Ke likes beauty and often goes to brothels, he must spend a lot of money on weekdays. The daily expenses of the prince of the Tang Dynasty are under the supervision of courtiers, so he must not have money on hand." It will be too rich, you prepare it, and we will give him some treasures."
