In the Tubo Palace, after venting his anger, Songtsen Gampo gradually calmed down. Ludongtsen's failure was something he did not expect.
Some of Lu Dongzan's suggestions in the past were accurate. Who could have expected that there would be such a flaw this time? Not only was the entire army annihilated, but he himself became a prisoner of the Tang people. Now, this mess in Tubo is all over. When it fell on him, he couldn't even find a scapegoat or find someone to discuss it with.
"King, the high priests are waiting for you outside and want to discuss important matters with you!" One of his subordinates bowed.
"No, no, tell them I'm sick and let them go back first!" Songtsen Gampo said angrily.
go out? How to get out? What to do out there?
The purpose of these high priests looking for him is obvious, which is to get him to plead guilty and compensate everyone for their losses. How can he plead guilty? Once he pleads guilty, he will have to compensate. What can he do to compensate these people? The only option is to delay. Damn it, he really can't think of any good solution!
Just when he was about to take a short rest, a person stumbled in from outside the palace, followed closely by the so-called high priests, and even the rich people.
Seeing so many people running into his palace, Songtsen Gampo said with a gloomy face: "You dare to disobey the edict and enter my palace, do you know what your crime is!!"
"King, they forced their way in, I can't stop them!"
Songtsen Gampo didn't even look at that person, but stared at the high priests.
Hearing Songtsen Gampo's words, these high priests and rich people were not afraid at all. The leading high priest sneered and said: "King, I'm afraid you have been staying in the palace for a long time and you don't even know what's going on outside. Are you still dreaming about invading the Tang Dynasty?"
"What do you mean?" Songtsen Gampo frowned when he heard the words of the high priest.
"What do you mean? The news just came that the Tang army has set off from Yumen Pass and is heading towards Tibet. What do you mean by this?" the high priest said with a sneer.
"What? The Tang army sent troops to attack Tubo?" Songtsen Gampo's expression changed slightly.
But then he recovered as before, glanced at the crowd and sneered: "If you dare to attack Tubo, that's just right. We can avenge our previous revenge. This Tianshan Mountain is not a place where the Tang army can set foot. I'm afraid they haven't arrived here yet. It’s no longer possible!”
The high priests naturally knew this. They came here today to ask Songtsen Gampo to make a statement. They would not send many more troops this time. The matter of stopping the Tang army would be done by Songtsen Gampo himself and paid for by himself. money.
If he can defeat the invading Tang army, what happened before will be forgotten, but if Songtsen Gampo fails, then he will be pushed off the throne by everyone, and another person will sit on the throne.
However, these people are not worried at all about whether the Tang army can wipe out Tubo. As I said just now, their place is not so easy to attack.
Let’s not talk about the weather, it’s this high altitude. If ordinary people are not used to staying here often, they simply can’t stand it. The lack of oxygen at high altitudes will make it difficult for any invading enemy to hold on for long. This is a gift from God to them. treasure land.
Most of the people who attacked Tubo in the past had retreated for this reason, and they only had to deal with the enemy for a period of time, so no one had the slightest worry. Only the internal struggle would annoy them.
Luo Zhang naturally knew about Tubo. Luo Zhang had seen the Potala Palace on TV before he was reincarnated. Although he had never been there, it was described in books. History books also introduced people like Songtsen Gampo and this The internal situation in Tubo at that time.
Luo Zhang didn't care about these. What he cared about was also what the Tubo people relied on, which was the various symptoms caused by high altitude. Luo Zhang was well prepared for this and had ordered people to search for a kind of disease before he came. Medicinal herbs. I accidentally learned about this medicinal herb from a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in my previous life. After taking it, I can overcome the symptoms of high altitude.
Fortunately, this world is not polluted by later generations of industry. This herb is easy to find and can be found everywhere in the Qilian Mountains.
After finding the herbal medicine, Luo Zhang distributed it and ordered everyone to drink this traditional Chinese medicine.
Although the medicine was extremely unpleasant to drink, the military orders were strong and everyone had to drink it. Although they didn't know why they had to do this, Luo Zhang let them drink it, and there would be no harm.
Luo Zhang is now a military god who has surpassed Li Jing. What could he say wrong?
