"King Envoy, I see that your injury is quite serious. Why don't you rest for a day and we can talk tomorrow?" Songtsen Gampo thought for a while and then asked.
"No, there's nothing wrong with my injury." In the middle of the sentence, Wang Zheng paused due to the stinging pain, and then continued. He kept forcing himself to think about things between the two countries to divert the pain.
"Then let me tell you, Murong Shun has nothing to do with Tibet. I wonder if the envoy can be trusted?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
"I want to believe it, but it depends on whether His Highness believes it! Before I set off, my Tang Dynasty generals Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun and other generals have led the army to the north of the Kunlun Mountains. I wonder if you have received the news, Zanpu, because we found out Murong Shun's remaining troops are operating just north of the Kunlun Mountains."
"Later, several generals have advanced to the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, and the remnants of Murong Shun have crossed the Kunlun Mountains and entered Tubo territory." Wang Zheng said.
Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath. Has Datang already taken action? North of the Kunlun Mountains? The previous part was Tubo's territory. Now that there is no one there, when the Tang army arrives, it goes without saying that it is already under the control of the Tang army. In other words, the opponent has stayed in the Kunlun Mountains. near several important mountain passes.
After making this posture, Songtsen Gampo instantly understood that Datang could now advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Most of the Kunlun Mountains' natural chasm is insurmountable, and there are only two or three mountain passes that can be crossed. And now Datang has garrisoned the mountain pass. If they fight with Datang and forcefully cross the mountain pass, once they cross, it will mean a decisive battle!
Can't beat it! Songtsen Gampo and Niu Jinda once fought. At that time, Niu Jinda led not the elites of the Tang Dynasty, but now those stationed at the border are all the elites of the Tang Dynasty.
Songtsen Gampo frowned and felt a little frightened. Is His Highness the King of Qin so ruthless?
"I am willing to send troops to help His Highness destroy the remaining troops of Murong Shun." Songtsen Gampo suddenly said tentatively.
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Zheng. He suspected that Murong Shun might have followed the command of the Tang Dynasty, but he had no evidence, because from the news he had received before, Murong Shun surrendered directly when the Tang army came, but now But suddenly he became a rebel.
"I don't care about that. According to the information I got, Murong Shun has entered the southern foothills of the Kunlun Mountains and entered the territory of Tubo. That is not our territory of the Tang Dynasty, but if you don't give us an explanation, our army of the Tang Dynasty will not mind. Destroy the rebels yourself." Wang Zheng said directly.
"Your Excellency, Envoy, we Tubo are willing to establish a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. Zanpu once wrote to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, willing to become a minister and marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. We, Tubo, are willing to become a minister to the Tang Dynasty. After becoming a minister, , I, Tubo, are naturally willing to cooperate with the Tang army to eliminate Murong Shun's rebels, don't you know?" Shang Xiang said suddenly.
Songtsen Gampo paused and felt slightly relieved. The prime minister was still smart.
Wang Zheng glanced at Shang Xiang and thought he could retreat instead of advance.
However, His Highness had already expected it. He said calmly: "His Highness said, if you want to marry the princess, you can! But Zanpu needs Tubo as a betrothal gift, and Zanpu will move to Chang'an City with the princess. Your Majesty will grant Zanpu the title He is a king with a different surname. So, I wonder if Zanpu is sincere in asking me to marry Princess Tang."
Hearing the word "yes", Songtsen Gampo felt a flash of joy in his heart. One of the reasons why he was obsessed with the Princess of the Tang Dynasty was that by marrying the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, he could exchange a lot of technology and materials with the Tang Dynasty and develop Tubo. , this is his true purpose.
But after hearing what happened, his face turned gloomy. There was no sincerity in this betrothal gift at all! But at this moment, he didn't know how to refute. Wang Zheng came back with just one sentence. Should he say he was sincere or not?
"Haha, Your Excellency the Envoy is joking. Prime Minister Shang Xiang is too careless. How can we discuss this matter in this place? This requires Zanpu to write to the Khan of Heaven, and Your Excellency the Envoy is sent by His Highness the King of Qin to discuss this matter. Being from the rebels has nothing to do with this." Lun Keer immediately laughed and said with a smile.
"Your Excellency is right. Let's get back to the topic. I wonder if Tubo can give His Highness an explanation?" Wang Zheng nodded, letting go of this point, and then brought the topic back.
"Your Majesty the Envoy, I wonder if I will personally lead my troops to strangle Murong Shun's rebels. After I capture Murong Shun's rebels, how about I present their heads to His Highness?" Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and asked.
"Not good." Wang Zheng didn't even hesitate and shook his head directly.
Songtsen Gampo froze, and a burst of anger emerged again. He stopped just halfway through. Again, anger is of no use. Wang Zheng and Yang Cheng are not afraid of death at all. You and the other two are not even afraid of death. What's the use of getting angry?
Anger can easily make people stupid, so Songtsen Gumbo calmed himself down.
"Then the envoy will give me a hint?" Songtsen Gampo was confused. He finally saw that the plan he mentioned was definitely not feasible for the other party, so it would be better to let the other party explain.
"Let the Tang army enter Tubo to suppress the bandits!" Wang Zheng said directly.
"Impossible!" Songtsen Gampo refused without even thinking. Which stupid country can allow troops from other countries to station troops to arrest people? Isn't this stupid? A person with no brain congestion would not be able to do such a stupid thing.
"Your Majesty the Envoy, it's not that we don't want to agree to this condition, but it's that the Tang Dynasty cannot allow my Tibetan army to set foot on the Tang Dynasty's land at will, right? So this is naturally impossible." Lun Keer said quickly. .
"In this case, we cannot guarantee your sincerity, because no one knows whether there is any connection between you and Murong Shun. No matter what, the people of Tang Xizhou are the ones who are suffering now, so His Highness King Qin demands compensation! At least 30,000 shi Gold, secondly, Mr. Zanpu must set out in person to arrest Murong Shun. Before Zanpu is unable to capture Murong Shun, the Tang army will send troops to several important mountain passes in the Kunlun Mountains! Any army that attempts to enter the Tang Dynasty will be attacked. Attack indiscriminately in the Tang Dynasty!"
Wang Zheng directly opened his mouth and stated the conditions. The purpose of his coming was very simple, just to make trouble. As for how many conditions could be achieved, His Highness said it was not important, but there was a hidden condition to be achieved, and the others did not matter.
But of course this condition cannot be raised at the beginning.
"Impossible!" Songtsen Gampo was almost angry to death. Thirty thousand stones of gold? How dare you speak! Do you fucking know how much thirty thousand stones of gold is? ! You could dig through the whole of Tubo and still not find 30,000 shi of gold!
"Of course, if you are sincere, His Highness is not unreasonable, but compensation must be provided, because this is the time to show your sincerity. If there is no sincerity, then what we say is meaningless. If you are sincere, , His Highness will also be sincere." Wang Zheng said calmly.
"Your Majesty the Envoy, how can your Highness be sincere?" Shang Xiang asked tentatively.
