Hearing Songtsan Gampo's words, everyone present took a deep breath.
"King, are you joking with us or scaring us?" A high priest spoke first.
"Yes, Wang, this joke is not funny at all!"
"King, we know you want to send troops, but our strength was severely damaged in the battle at Yumen Pass. We don't have many troops left to fight Luo Zhang. Let's rest and recuperate!"
"That's right, King, we don't have any men anymore. How can we compete with Luo Zhang? It really doesn't make sense!"
Songtsen Gampo looked at these people with pity. Until this moment, they thought they were joking, but it was really ridiculous!
"You all think I'm joking with you? If you don't believe what I say, send someone to see if Luo Zhang is coming with an army. In a few days, they may attack us. , You are still talking about recuperation here, there are no troops, when Luo Zhang calls, you will know whether I lied to you or not!" Songtsen Gampo sneered.
When Songtsen Gampo said this, everyone was in an uproar. They stared at Songtsen Gampo, hoping that what he said was false. However, Songtsen Gampo's face was calm and there was no sign of speaking. This made everyone stunned again. Take a breath.
The high priests and wealthy people present here could no longer sit still and started questioning Songtsen Gampo one after another!
"King, are you telling the truth?"
"Wang, did Luo Zhang really call?"
"King, it's impossible. Isn't Luo Zhang's army afraid of the acclimatization?"
"Yes, then Luo Zhang's army can't be fine, right?"
"Even if he calls, he's afraid that when he comes to us, he will retreat because of the geographical location, right?"
"Huh, I'm telling you this, don't you understand?"
"Luo Zhang and his troops are not acclimated to the local environment at all. He and his troops are very good, as if they have grown up on this land. They have no discomfort at all. Unlike the shouting people who attacked us before, they will feel uncomfortable. , His people are not affected at all!"
"Now you know why I am so anxious to come to you, right?" After Songtsan Gumbo finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone swallowed their saliva, as if they still didn't quite believe what Songtsen Gampo said.
But Songtsen Gampo said that if you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. What does this mean? It means that what he said is the truth. Luo Zhang called, and he called without fear of acclimatization.
Their geographical advantage was gone, and they had to fight Luo Zhang with real swords and guns, otherwise Tubo would be crushed by Luo Zhang.
They all know how powerful Luo Zhang is. If he wasn't powerful, how could he destroy Lu Dongzan's 400,000-strong army with tens of thousands of troops? That's a lunatic. Going against him is like hitting a stone with an egg. This is why everyone doesn't want to send troops. Seeing that they are here now, if they continue to let it go, what awaits them is the destruction of Tubo!
For a moment, everyone stood up, said goodbye to Songtsen Gampo, and walked out.
They had to send someone to investigate. Although Songtsen Gampo's words were true, they still had to send someone to investigate to prepare for what was to come!
Only when you get the exact news can you discuss with other people in the family what to do!
Looking at the people leaving, Songtsan Gampo did not stop him. He called everyone together just to inform them of the news and to ask them to send out people and food. He would not do it if he had to carry it alone. That was taken advantage of!
Tubo nominally respects him as king, but that's not because he has the support of two living Buddhas behind him. To be honest, without these two living Buddhas, he is just a big tycoon, no different from them!
Soon, groups of spies were sent out by these high priests and wealthy people to investigate Luo Zhang's movements.
As fast as they left, they came back even faster. Each of the spies was in a very embarrassed state, and at the same time they looked frightened.
When they saw how embarrassed the spies who were sent out were, the faces of the high priests and rich men didn't look very good.
But you still have to ask and confirm what you should ask!
However, the news they received made their hearts fall to the bottom. Luo Zhang really came, and he was not afraid of the geographical location. He was not acclimatized to the local conditions, and it was exactly what the king said.
At this time, the whole of Tubo was in a state of uproar. All the major families and temples were in a state of panic. Everyone began to discuss and think of solutions.
The final conclusion of the discussion was to send troops. They must send troops. Only by defeating Luo Zhang and driving them back would their position not be threatened.
