Late at night, in the palace. Sitting behind the table, Li Erduan frowned slightly, but he didn't even look at the memorials that had piled up in front of him. He is still thinking about Tubo. When the Tubo envoys met with them, their attitude was extremely humble, which was clearly explained by Songtsan Gampo on purpose. It can be seen from this that Songtsan Gampo Siping really has a disrespectful heart towards Datang. Because of his attitude, Li Er's original dissatisfaction with Tubo disappeared without a trace. It is not a problem for Datang that Tubo soldiers are coming to Songzhou. Datang didn't know much about Tubo before, but no matter how slow his reaction was, Li Er had some information about Tubo at this time. Songtsan Gampo was the temporary hero of Tubo, and he made a career in Jiqing. It is not incomprehensible that he acts arrogantly.
At least, the Tibetans did not invade the border directly like the barbarians before them. Standing still, this shows the attitude of the Tubo people. Li Er guessed Songtsan Gampo's psychology in his heart. For anything, once you start looking for reasons, you will probably not be able to get tough. That's right, Li Er really doesn't want to play 04 in his heart! Even if the Tubo people were pressed to the ground and beaten, it was meaningless to Datang. Not to mention spending money and effort, there is no benefit. But if war breaks out and the two countries end up enmity, they will definitely die forever. Li Er is a very proud person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is vengeful to foreigners. How rampant were the Turks back then? It directly hit the edge of the Wei River, which is only forty miles away from Chang'an, and forced Ji Er to sign the Wei River Alliance. Li Er has always regarded this matter as a great shame and humiliation, and avenged him within a few years. But Tubo and Turks are different. The Tubo people did not attack the city and seize the land, but they drove straight in, but their attitude was very respectful. Li Er believes that Datang does not currently have the ability to destroy Tubo. This time Songtsan Gampo brought 200,000 troops, but these people were only half of Tubo's combatants. The entire Tang Dynasty only had an army of 600,000. It can be seen that Tubo is not the remote and small country that I thought it was before, and it still has certain strength. The number of troops is second. The key point is that Tubo's geographical location is really unique.
To fight the Turks, just send a large army to push them all the way. You can fight against Tubo, but you can't do this. No matter how strong the Tang army's combat effectiveness is, if the problem of the epidemic is not resolved, it will really be impossible to fight! Thinking of this, Ji Er couldn't help but sigh softly. The dynasties of all dynasties, especially at the beginning of the founding of the country, must have a very deep understanding of the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasties. Li Er knew very well that if Yang Guang hadn't insisted on going his own way, conquering Goguryeo three times and mobilizing more than three million people, so that almost half of the domestic strong men had been wiped out, the Sui Dynasty would never have perished. Looking forward, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, which can be called martial arts. But it also caused half of the people in the country to be displaced, and the Han regime almost collapsed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu because the Xiongnu had coveted the land of Zhuxia for a long time, and if they did not fight, they would not have an external environment to recuperate. What benefits can the Tang Dynasty gain from fighting Tubo? There is no need to work hard... Thinking of this, Kong Er had already made up his mind. He's ready to agree to a kiss! Of course, Songtsen Gampo asked to marry a real princess, which is absolutely impossible. Don't look at Li Er killing his brother and killing his younger brother, and imprisoning his father to succeed to the throne, it seems that the family relationship is indifferent. But in fact, the degree of his pampering to his children can be called the crown of emperors in all dynasties. Li Er was really reluctant to marry his daughter to such a bitter cold place. However, since Emperor Han Yuan chose court ladies to get married, those barbarians have become more and more difficult to fool. The Sifang Pavilion in Chang'an City was full of envoys from different races, many of whom had the wishful thinking of proposing marriage. They are familiar with almost all the portraits and personalities of the princesses, but they will definitely not be able to deceive them. This time Songtsan Gampo made a big move, if he really wanted to choose a court lady and give him the title of princess at will to fool him, it would be unreasonable, and maybe this barbarian would blow his hair. After thinking about it, Li Er finally had an idea. "I remember that Li Daozong had a daughter who had reached the age of marriage and hadn't betrothed yet..." A smile appeared on Li Er's face. Li Daozong is his cousin, but also his humerus minister, as well as the identity of the clan. Songtsan Gampo would never have anything to say if he chose his daughter to marry him. Another ten days passed. In the palace, Li Er met Jiangxia King Li Daozong who was urgently recalled to Chang'an by him.
"Daozong, have you heard about the recent events in Tubo?" As soon as they met, Li Er didn't have any nonsense, and asked directly. Li Daozong nodded, and said: "The Tubo soldiers came to Songzhou, which is disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty. "Your Majesty, do you want to send troops?" At this time, Li Daozong was a little at a loss. Some time ago, he just returned to Jiangxia. Unexpectedly, after staying at home for a year, he was called back to Chang'an by Li Er. Along the way, he has been speculating on Ji Er's meaning. Recently, the weather in the Tang Dynasty has been smooth and the treasury has been filled. The only major event worth mentioning is the dispatch of troops from Tubo. But Li Daozong couldn't figure it out. Although he is also Li Er's capable general, among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, he is second only to Li Jing. But now the world is peaceful, and the time spent in Chang'an is countless. If Li Er wants to fight back against Tubo, there is no need to call him back specifically. Li Er said with a smile: "Tubo has not attracted troops so far. I think Songtsan Gampo is waiting for my reply. This matter is 737, and I have a plan in my heart......" Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, and then he pretended to be all ears. "Daozong, I heard that Lord Jincheng hasn't betrothed yet?" Hearing this, Li Daozong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Li Er in disbelief. The emperor, actually want to agree to a marriage? Moreover, the one who chose was his own daughter Li Xueyan! Subconsciously, Li Daozong wanted to refuse. Among Li's clan relatives, Li Daozong's lineage was somewhat weak. He had only two sons and two daughters. Li Daozong never thought of marrying his daughter far away, let alone a remote place like Tubo. Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse. However, looking up at Li Er's oppressive eyes, Li Daozong was still speechless. "This year, there is a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and next year it will reach the entire Tang Dynasty. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to use weapons. Daozong, the prosperous age is about to begin. I don't want to let go of this great opportunity, so I can only suffer for Jincheng If you have complaints, I can understand, but I have made up my mind!" Li Er said indifferently. Li Er was the emperor, and even the patriarch of the Li clan. No matter from which point of view, Li Er's request could not be tolerated by Li Daozong. Li Daozong felt miserable, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, in the end he could only sigh. .
