time flies.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Xuance and others worked hard, hurriedly and slowly, and finally arrived in Tubo.
However……
They requested to see Songtsen Gampo many times, but were refused for various reasons.
"Asshole."
"This Songtsen Gampo has not seen us, and his wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed."
"When I tell your Majesty, I will definitely defeat Tubo!"
Tang Envoy roared in the tent.
In the battle between Datang and Tuyuhun, Tubo was a very important part.
That would make Datang lose a lot of soldiers.
"Let me go."
Wang Xuance asked for a tassel.
"Now that Songtsen Gampo doesn't even want to see us, what's the use of you going?" Tang Envoy frowned and scolded.
"I believe he will meet me!"
Wang Xuance's eyes flickered.
Tubo Palace.
Songtsen Gampo opened the map and studied the strategy.
Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo attacked the Tang Dynasty together. This was a good opportunity for Tubo to develop.
"Zanpu, Ambassador Tang is here again."
At this moment, a Tibetan soldier reported.
"How many times have I told you to send him away as soon as he comes!" Songtsen Gampo scolded him dissatisfied.
"He said he was Wei Shuyu's apprentice!"
Um?
As soon as these words came out, Songtsen Gampo was stunned.
He has never failed in his life.
It was only broken once in Wei Shuyu's hands. If he didn't get it back, it would be a thorn in his heart forever.
"Let him in!"
Songtsen Gampo put down the map.
"Wang Xuance met Songtsen Gampo."
After seeing Songtsen Gampo, Wang Xuance saluted him.
"Are you Wei Shuyu's apprentice?"
Songtsen Gampo asked condescendingly.
"Exactly."
"What do you want from me?"
"Please ask Songtsen Gampo to send troops to Tuyuhun."
Wang Xuance straightened up, exuding strong confidence.
"It's not that Ben Zamp is unwilling to send troops."
Songtsen Gampo looked troubled: "It's true that Tubo is unwilling and powerless."
"You also know that Tubo has just been unified, and there are still many rebellions in various places. Moreover, the severe winter has just passed, and Tubo is in a period of desperate situation..."
Songtsan Gampo made a lot of noises.
Anyway, we won’t send troops.
"Could it be that Songtsen Gampo forgot about Yang Tong?" Wang Xuance scolded.
"Um?"
Songtsen Gampo narrowed his eyes: "I, Tubo, attacked Yangtong. What does it have to do with the Tang Dynasty?"
Damn it.
You are pulling your dick and not recognizing anyone!
If we, Datang, had not intervened, would you have been able to win over Yangtong so easily?
"Then Songtsan Gampo has thought about it..."
Wang Xuance's eyes became sharp: "It's not that the Tang Dynasty cannot defeat Tuyuhun."
"If you disobey orders..."
"When the Tang cavalry defeats Tuyuhun, it will be time to attack you Tubo!"
Songtsan Gampo sneered at this.
Let’s not talk about whether you soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can withstand altitude sickness.
Even if we really want to attack, don't we, Tubo, have no power to resist?
"Are you threatening Ben Zamp?"
Songtsen Gampo hit the table with a bang.
The generals beside him all took a step forward.
In an instant, boundless pressure enveloped Wang Xuance.
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Xuance's forehead.
"I thought Wei Shuyu's disciples could be so powerful, but they were nothing more than that!" Songtsen Gampo laughed loudly.
Asshole.
Wang Xuance clenched his fists and his face turned red with anger.
But he knew he must not be impulsive.
As a messenger, calmness must come first.
suddenly……
Wei Shuyu's words came to mind.
There are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests.
Wang Xuance took a deep breath: "Since Songtsen Gampo mentioned my master, you should know what position my master holds in the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Um?
Songtsan Gampo replied jokingly: "What? Do you still think Wei Shuyu can make me change my mind?"
"My master is the person in charge of the Commercial Department!"
Wang Xuance continued: "This attack on Tuyuhun is not only to suppress Tuyuhun, but also to open up the Silk Road!"
"Does Songtsen Gampo know what this means?"
Songtsen Gampo suppressed his smile.
To be a monarch is to be a young monarch.
He had always focused on the war situation, but he had never thought about the Silk Road.
"What do you mean?" Songtsen Gampo asked solemnly.
"What I mean is very clear..."
Wang Xuance regained his previous calmness: "Tubo sent troops to attack Tuyuhun, not to help Tang Dynasty, but to help Tubo itself!"
“After the Silk Road is opened, all countries will benefit!”
"If Tibet doesn't send troops, it will make no contribution to the Silk Road."
"After the Silk Road is opened in the future, Tubo will be included in the list of countries where trade is prohibited!"
Songtsen Gampo's face darkened.
This blow really hit him where it hurts.
Tubo belongs to the plateau area and the weather is colder.
Materials are extremely scarce!
Isolating the country will only lead to self-destruction. If you want to be strong, you must continue to absorb materials from the outside to strengthen yourself.
"It's not that the Tang Dynasty can't defeat Tuyuhun, it just takes time!"
"Songtsen Gampo, please clarify one thing..."
"The Tang Dynasty is not begging you to Tibet!"
"But he is ordering all countries to send troops."
"The same is true for Tubo, and the same is true for Dangxiang."
Uh-huh.
These words hit Songtsen Gampo seven inches above.
There is no doubt about the power of Datang.
He never thought Tuyuhun could win.
The reason for procrastinating like this is just to get more benefits.
"Ha ha……"
Songtsen Gampo laughed and said, "Messenger King, right? What you said makes sense."
"Actually, Ben Zampu wanted to send troops, but you know, Tubo has just been settled and is extremely empty. They can't even get enough food. How can the soldiers fight when they are hungry..."
In a nutshell.
You can send troops, but you have to pay!
"This is natural..."
Wang Xuance's eyes became more and more confident: "Considering the current situation of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will not embarrass Tubo."
"It only takes Tibet to raid and harass the Tuyuhun border."
"I don't think Zamp is willing to even show off, right?"
Damn it.
Songtsen Gampo was furious.
How come you and Tang Dynasty are on the side of justice while we are chatting?
It's obviously you who begged Tubo...
"This..." Songtsen Gampo pondered.
But Wang Xuance didn't give him time to think.
He immediately said: "Songtsen Gampo, what the Tang Dynasty wants is just an attitude from Tubo. If even this cannot be achieved, I can only truthfully report Tubo's attitude to Your Majesty."
The words fell.
Wang Xuance turned around and left without the slightest nostalgia.
Seeing this scene, Songtsen Gampo panicked.
To put it bluntly, Tubo is still too weak now.
He didn't dare to tease Tang Dynasty's tiger beard.
"etc……"
Songtsen Gampo said: "I can promise you this."
"But after opening up the Silk Road, I hope that Tibet will have a certain say in the Silk Road."
"in addition……"
"I also hope to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty to ensure the friendship between the two countries!"
damn thing.
Do you still covet me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?
"Songtsen Gampo's heart is devoted to the Tang Dynasty, and I admire him very much."
"But the matter of marrying the Princess of Tang Dynasty..."
"It's not up to me, a small official, to make the decision. I still need to report it to His Majesty."
Songtsen Gampo nodded.
Anyway, he has already planned to go to Datang to welcome his bride this year.
Tubo was just settled, and if it wanted to develop steadily, it must rely on the Tang Dynasty.
"There is a saying among the Han people that a person who is good at learning is better than a good person."
Songtsen Gampo smiled and said: "The king's envoy is far better than Wei Shuyu in diplomacy."
"I am just a little Taoist, how can I compare to Master." Wang Xuance said respectfully.
"The King has humbled himself."
Songtsen Gampo smiled and said: "It's okay for Wei Shuyu to criticize people, but not necessarily to persuade them!"
"No no no..."
Wang Xuance shook his head: "Even if I can't convince you, I still have my teacher."
Um?
Songtsen Gampo was overjoyed: "Wei Shuyu has come to Tibet?"
If Wei Shuyu comes.
He must be kept in Tubo!
"No!"
Wang Xuance smiled and said, "But my master has left me a great tip."
"If I can't convince you, my master has a clever plan to convince you."
"oh?"
Songtsan Gampo suddenly became interested: "I wonder what the clever plan is?"
"Well..."
Wang Xuance was confused.
It seems that I talk a little too much.
"Don't worry, since Ben Zanpu promised you to send troops, he will not break his promise." Songtsen Gampo said.
"Sorry, Master didn't say that it could be shown to outsiders." Wang Xuance replied.
"You're wrong about that."
Songtsen Gampo stretched out his index finger and shook it: "I now suspect that Wei Shuyu's plan for you may threaten me, Tibet."
"This is related to the stability of Tubo."
“Ben Zamp is a must-see!”
"Otherwise Tubo will not send troops!"
Are you being a rogue?
However, Wang Xuance was also curious about what Wei Shuyu could do.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuance chose to agree.
"good!"
He took out the letter and opened it.
When I saw another letter inside, I was stunned.
I saw the envelope written...Songtsen Gampo personally signed it.
"..."
Wang Xuance reluctantly handed it forward: "It's for you."
oh?
Songtsen Gampo showed a smile.
"I didn't expect Wei Shuyu would write to me again."
"He is suspected of treason. When you go back, remember to impeach him for collaborating with the enemy and treason with His Majesty the Tang Emperor."
After saying this, Songtsen Gampo tore open the letter.
When I saw the content, I was also dumbfounded...
He looked at the content of the letter and then at Wang Xuance.
"Are you sure you are Wei Shuyu's apprentice?"
"yes."
"..."
Songtsen Gampo directly returned the letter to Wang Xuance and asked Wang Xuance to read it himself.
Wang Xuance took it and took a look...
"Songtsen Gampo, you are well."
"When you read this letter, it means that I, the fool, have failed."
"Don't be angry either..."
"He has a very smooth tongue and can tell you stories and sing songs."
"Remember to help me raise him!"
"By the way, if you have any sisters, you can also consider marrying him."
"After all, he has thin skin and tender flesh, and looks good, so the baby he gives birth to will not be too ugly."
"When you get married, remember to let me know."
"I'll prepare a big gift for you then!"
"..."
Wang Xuance was numb.
What a clever idea this is!
This Chun Chun just sold him.
"how?"
Songtsen Gampo smiled and said, "How does it feel?"
"My master... treats me well!" Wang Xuance replied with a strange look on his face.
It's really not thin.
In order to save your life, Wei Shuyu has gone to great lengths.
