As night falls, the square of the Potala Palace is already lit with torches, illuminating the entire square like daylight.
The soldiers sang and danced around the huge bonfire lit in the center, laughing.
Many Tubo people were very reserved at first and did not dare to participate, for fear of making Master Tang Jun angry.
But when the familiar music played and Tang Jun deliberately pulled them to hide, these simple Tubo people couldn't help but dance along.
Immediately afterwards, various fine wines and delicacies were presented one by one, and more and more Tibetan people participated.
Maybe some of them were doing it to please Mr. Tang Jun, and some of them were really dancing, but most of them were probably attracted by the meat and wine.
Wine and meat are not things that ordinary people can afford to eat and drink. On weekdays, these are things that only high priests and rich people can enjoy, and they can only eat highland barley and glutinous rice cakes.
This is already pretty good. There are many more Tubo people who don’t have any of these things to eat and can only survive on wild vegetables and fruits.
Luo Zhangduan was sitting on the steps of Potala Palace Square, where he could overlook the situation below.
It's not that Luo Zhang doesn't want to be involved, but that his identity is destined to sit here. If he ends up, not only will the ordinary soldiers feel uncomfortable, but also those Tubo people will be reunited. This is the drag of identity.
Luo Zhang didn't want to bother people because of him, he just wanted to do what he had to do, as long as he saw everyone happy.
A dinner party brought the Tubo people closer to the Tang army. Although they were not completely trusting, it was a good start.
Luo Zhang's plan is very simple, which is to corrupt these Tubo people and turn them into real Tang people.
This is just the beginning, Luo Zhang still has a lot to do later.
Why did Ludongzan try his best to encourage Songtsen Gampo to marry the Tang princess?
The purpose is to obtain better seeds and better technology from Datang. The technology here is not only forging and smelting, but also farming, making agricultural tools, etc.
And this is what Luo Zhang will do in the future, teach these Tubo people to farm, teach these Tubo people to use farm tools, and make them more prosperous.
In this way, even if Songtsen Gampo comes back, these people will no longer support him, but will side with the Tang army.
Why? Because there was no oppression in the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty taught them how to survive, and because the Tang Dynasty gave them the right to live.
I was afraid that when the time came, even if Luo Zhang and the others withdrew and Songtsen Gampo came back, they would be driven away by these Tubo people.
This is Luo Zhang's plan to draw out the firepower and completely prevent the resurgence of Tubo.
Of course, it is still unknown whether Songtsen Gampo, who ran away to the Western Regions, can come back. It would be better if he could not come back. It would be better to die in the desert. However, if he has developed in the Western Regions and comes back, what Luo Zhang did today can be used On.
In the desert leading from Tubo to the Western Region, Songtsen Gampo was wearing a white cloth on his head, covering his entire face, so that he would not be disturbed by the wind and sand.
But even so, there was still a lot of wind and sand filling the clothes. It was because the sand was too fine and the wind was too strong. The weather that was fine before suddenly turned violent and dark.
Songtsen Gampo didn't know what it was at first, but after experiencing a day and night of strong winds and losing several groups of camels and more than a dozen of his men, he learned from the guide that it was a black storm in the desert. It was only the edge of the black storm. If they were in the center of the black storm yesterday, there would be absolutely no way to survive.
But even on the edge of the black storm, the losses were huge. This made Songtsan Gampo have the urge to turn around and go back immediately. This desert was really terrifying, and it was nothing like what he had thought before.
You know, what was lost was his massive wealth, which he moved from the Potala Palace. Such a storm caused him huge losses.
But going back now would be tantamount to death. Tang Jun was still in the Potala Palace, and he couldn't go back even if he wanted to, unless he agreed to Tang Jun's conditions, went to Chang'an, and lived a peaceful life as an idle khan.
How could this be the life he expected? Even if he died, he would not be able to go to Chang'an, be imprisoned, and become the laughing stock of others!
