I don't know how long it took before Songtsan Gampo woke up. He felt that he had had a nightmare, dreaming that his Tubo was gone and became the territory of the Tang Dynasty. But when he woke up, he recalled everything that happened in his mind. He knew that this was not a nightmare, but a reality. Then he saw Lu Dongzan and three others in front of his bed.
"Zanpu, you're awake." Shang Xiang hurriedly came over and helped Songtsen Gampo up from the bed.
"I'm fine. Pour me a glass of water." Songtsen Gampo was silent for a moment, then sat on the bed and said.
Lu Dongzan over there immediately poured a glass of water for Songtsen Gampo himself.
Songtsen Gampo drank the entire glass of water in one breath. After drinking, he ignored the water flowing from the corner of his mouth and sat there motionless. The three people in the room did not dare to speak and just waited. With.
After about a few minutes, Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath, stood up from the bed and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Zanpu, we only have less than two hours." Shang Xiang said.
"Lu Dongzan, is the Tang Dynasty involved in this matter?" Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and asked directly.
"No." Lu Dongzan shook his head simply, "The rebellion broke out in the Wosang tribe, which is the hinterland of Tubo. It is hundreds or thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty's army to enter there, and the Tang Dynasty's army cannot enter there. It was impossible for Don to incite those serfs."
"If nothing else, they don't understand the language. How could they incite these serfs? I can only say... the nobles of the Wosang tribe went too far, causing these serfs to rebel. Then the rebellious serfs killed the Wosang tribe. After the nobility, it began to spread in all directions, resulting in today's situation."
"But I don't know the specifics. There are more than 80 nobles and more than 7,000 soldiers who escaped from various tribes. They are still less than five days away from here. After they come, Zamp can personally Interrogate them." Lu Dongzan said.
"No, let's rush over now. It's too late for them to come." Songtsen Gampo said directly.
"Yes!" Lu Dongzan and the others did not refuse. No one could refuse Songtsen Gampo at this time.
Songtsen Gampo led his guards and rode directly towards the escaped people. They had to travel more than five days, but Songtsen Gampo arrived on horseback in just one day and one night.
After waiting, the more than eighty nobles who escaped cried directly to Songtsen Gampo!
The crying Songtsen Gampo was upset! But at this time, he couldn't say much, he could only comfort him, because these people were all educated and literate after all, and he still needed the help of these people in his rule.
Although they are a bit of a waste.
But among these people, Songtsen Gampo only saw a dozen people belonging to his family.
Fortunately, Songtsen Gampo's princesses and children had already been brought to Tianzhu by him, and those left in Lhasa were only some unimportant concubines, who would be gone if they were gone. If it’s gone, you can still marry again.
After a day of repeated questioning, Songtsan Gampo finally figured out the whole story, but after figuring it out, Songtsan Gampo fell silent.
This matter... no matter how much I think about it, I think it's impossible! How could those serfs have such great organizational capabilities? Starting from the Wosang tribe, it spread directly to all directions of Tubo. The point is... they gathered too many people, and almost the entire Tubo was swept in.
In other words, the time when the incident happened... maybe a month or even earlier?
Songtsen Gampo even saw a tribal leader who was extremely loyal to him but was located in northern Tubo. If he remembered correctly, the other party was called Shancuo. This man was originally the tribal leader he appointed after the tribal nobles were massacred and robbed by Tuyuhun's remnant soldiers Murong Shun and his men.
In the past two years, the other party has worked very hard, not only paying him the most taxes every year, but also giving him many good tributes and the most important iron! They were all bought from Datang.
Even his tribe was affected. One can imagine what kind of situation Tubo was already in.
For this reason, Songtsen Gampo had to meet Shancuo alone. He wanted to know more about the truth from Shancuo's mouth.
"Shancuo, how did you escape?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
"Zanpu... I'm sorry for you. I've embarrassed you. Please Zanpu kill me." Li Feng knelt on the ground in accordance with Tubo etiquette.
"Hey, I'll talk about this later. Please tell me the specific situation first."
"Yes... Zamp, it was a few soldiers from the tribe next door to me who escaped and ran to me, saying that the serfs next door had rebelled, but they were running too slow, and the serfs were following them. I When I reacted immediately after receiving the news, those serfs had already taken some of the serfs in my tribe hostage."
"Zanpu, you know, because we have been doing transactions with the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, I have become very close to the tribe next door, and the serfs in the two tribes all know each other."
"So when the serfs from their tribe rushed over, the serfs here also rebelled... I thought it was illegal... I... I ran away shamefully." Li Feng said with a look of shame.
"If...if I had more courage, maybe I could suppress those serfs!" Li Feng lowered his head and added.
"Hey, okay, I don't blame you for this. So many people rushed over, all the serfs rebelled, and you don't have enough soldiers." Songtsen Gampo waved his hand. He knew that Li Feng was not to blame. There are people from these tribes. Songtsen Gampo knew very well how many soldiers and what soldiers were composed of! When all the serfs rebel... most of Li Feng's soldiers will follow.
He simply did not have enough troops to suppress it.
"Then...do you think this matter has something to do with the Tang Dynasty?!" Songtsen Gampo asked another question.
"It's definitely related! I think Datang is the murderer! They were the ones who ordered it!" Li Feng said loudly with hatred on his face.
Songtsen Gampo was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that?!"
"That's the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty! If he hadn't deliberately used evil methods to seduce you Zanpu and let us Tubo do business with you, his caravan would not have entered Tubo. If their caravan would not have entered Tubo, then How could those serfs know what life was like for the people of the Tang Dynasty?!"
"They must have been spreading propaganda about the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty, which caused the rebellion of the Tibetan serfs! This is what the Tang Dynasty deliberately caused behind the scenes! Zanpu, why don't we declare war on the Tang Dynasty directly!" Li Feng spoke loudly with hatred on his face. road.
"Furthermore, Zanpu, think about it, the rebellion of these serfs has only been more than a month since the earliest Wosang tribe, but a lot of news about those serfs has spread throughout Tubo. I think there must be those Datang caravans behind it, adding fuel to the fire. !”
Looking at the excited Li Feng, Songtsen Gampo sighed. He knew that Shancuo must have been blinded by hatred. Maybe it was related to the Tang Dynasty, but this matter itself was still their own problem. Shancuo The reason why he hates the Tang Dynasty so much is because his status as a noble is gone, so many of his serfs are gone, and he can no longer live a good life. How can he not hate him?
It's just that... Tubo can't go against the Tang Dynasty now!
Over the past two days, Songtsan Gampo has calmed down, and Tibet has not lost yet.
Although his family is gone, he still retains the essence of Tubo today!
