A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"But it's still too little." Lu Dongzan shook his head.

"Then Sanchi!" Gu Qing said again.

"not enough!"

"Four or six! No more!" Gu Qing said, "If it doesn't work out, I won't care if your Tubo cows rot here."

"Okay! Forty-six is ​​four-six." Lu Dongzan finally nodded.

"In the future, you will take your Tibetan people to raise cattle on the plateau." Gu Qing said, "Look at how poor you are in Tubo. If you come to Guanzhong to do business, it will make you rich. Good thing."

"Then thank you very much." Lu Dongzan saluted Gu Qing, and then left with high ambitions. Raising cattle is a great cause!Getting rich, when the cold wind blows, I think it's wrong again, huh? I just asked Gu Qing for something.

On the second day, the Persian military report was brought, and Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui also entered Persia and regained a large area of ​​Persian territory. Now it is time to see the Persian prince ascend the throne and announce to the world that Persia will become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

The little prince of the Dashi sent the head thousands of miles away, and the gift is light and the affection is heavy. If there is no Dashi to attack Persia, Persia will not fall into this situation. The Dashi is too underestimated. Datang's ambition.

Su Dingfang sat in his tent, looked at the sand table, and placed the Persian flag on the territory of Dashi.

"What do you mean?" Gu Qing looked at Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang thought about it and said, "The situation between Persia and Dashi is very similar to the two generations in the north and south of the Central Plains."

Gu Qing knew that Su Dingfang was talking about the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the Central Plains, "You mean that the war between Persia and Dashi will continue."

"It will definitely continue." Su Dingfang continued, "At the beginning when the small western countries such as Tubo united together, Dashi could cross Persia and attack Tubo. If Persia firmly grasped its own borders, Dashi would have been imprisoned behind Persia Next, the trade routes brought prosperity to Persia, but in contrast, Dashi will always be under the oppression of Persia for many years until it slowly dies out. Presumably Dashi also knows this truth, so this time he will go to Persia this time, even Fighting against Tubo, they want to seize the trade route, but they just want to live a better life."

Gu Qing nodded, "If there is no fusion between Persia and Dashi, if it is a war, if the two cannot be merged into one, then only one will remain."

Things are a bit tricky. This time, the troops are still more than enough to help the Prince of Persia regain Persia, but it is not enough to win the Dashi, and will instead fall into a quagmire.

Persia is a matter of Persia, which means that it has nothing to do with him after all. Gu Qing said to Su Dingfang, "This battle of Dashi has already hurt the vitality and lost so many troops. Dashi wants to attack Persia again. I’m afraid it will take a few years to cultivate and recuperate. During this time, the west will be very peaceful. During these times, we might as well work hard to open up sea routes. As long as the sea routes are opened up, Persia and the Great Esophagus will be turned upside down.”

Su Dingfang's concept of Gu Qinghai's road has always been very vague, and he still has to take a step at a time to see what is happening in front of him. Rushing too fast will be counterproductive.

"I heard." Su Dingfang looked at Gu Qing, "You want to do business with Tubo?"

"Yeah, are you interested? Buying shares?" When it comes to business, Gu Qing became more energetic, "I still have [-]% of the members here, how about [-] of the members."

"I have no money." Su Dingfang replied decisively, "I also heard that you plan to build an academy in Tubo."

"Yes." Gu Qing didn't deny it, "Old Fang, let me tell you my idea, let the children of Tubo read the books of Zhongyuan, speak the words of Zhongyuan, and then use business to promote Tubo's cattle breeding business, and finally Tubo I can only raise cattle and speak fluent Guanzhong dialect, what a beautiful sight."

After hearing these words, Su Dingfang stared at Gu Qing.

"Why are you looking at me?" Gu Qing stepped back, "Old Fang, you haven't wanted a wife for so long, could it be that you..."

"Gu Qing." Su Ding looked serious, "Tubo will be destroyed, and Songtsan Gampo will fight you desperately."

"Then you think I did it wrong?"

"You are right." Su Dingfang nodded, "Your approach is to cut flesh with a soft knife, using the Central Plains to sever Tubo's inheritance, which has only advantages and no disadvantages for Datang, but this approach is too cruel! "

"Tubo is not my race after all." Gu Qing said again, "Now Tubo is a part of the Central Plains, now it will be, and it will be in the future! Why don't I completely include this Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, so that I am not afraid that Tubo will prosper again in the future and raise troops Attacking the Tang Dynasty! I can't accept this kind of thing, Tubo will recover sooner or later, I might as well give Tubo a piece of prosperity, so that the people of Tubo can live better, that's enough!"

"As for the inheritance of Tubo, I don't care at all." Gu Qing said decisively, "I just want Tubo to become a real part of the Central Plains! After a hundred years and thousands of years, let Tubo know that the Central Plains is their ancestor!"

"Tubo was established by Songtsan Gampo." Su Dingfang smiled wryly, "Gu Qing, you are trying to rob Songtsan Gampo's achievements."

"Songtsan Gampo is a character. I admire him, and I also admire him for being able to unite a Tubo. Everyone in the whole of Tubo should remember this character. The Dala Palace is right there, and I didn’t think about demolishing it.” Gu Qing went on to say, “Win ​​the king and lose the bandit! Now Tubo is the Tubo County of the Tang Dynasty, and the officials here will not be Tubo people, but Tang people. Tsanganbu wants the Tibetan people to live better, the only way is to contact the Central Plains.”

"You can let me let go of Tubo." Gu Qing pointed to the outside of the camp and said loudly, "Old Fang, look at the poor people in Tubo who urinate blood now, those Tubo children don't even have clothes to keep out the cold, Tubo doesn't have the integration of the Central Plains It will continue to be so poor, Tianzhu, Persia, Dashi, and even the Western Regions. After I abandon the West, the whole West will be in chaos again. Are the Tibetans still kneeling in the Tai Chi Palace to ask for help from our Tang Dynasty? If you want If we want Tang Dynasty to help Tubo prosper, Songtsen Gampo must agree to my actions if he does not agree!"

Su Dingfang nodded in frustration, "Gu Qing, I don't understand what you said, General Li Jing is right."

"It's fine to do these things. I will take care of anything." Gu Qing continued, "Old Fang, you don't need to intervene."

"I see." Su Dingfang nodded, "It's the same sentence, I won't fight any more after this battle. This is the last battle that I, Su Dingfang, will fight. Our life debt is too much. I'm afraid of retribution. starter

Chapter 5 Sixty

"I never believed in retribution." Gu Qing said to himself.

"General!" The soldiers came to report, "The prince of Persia has successfully ascended the throne and became the king of Persia, and announced that Persia will become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. This is the letter of credence presented by the king of Persia. The Central Plains will meet His Majesty."

Gu Qing took the credential and glanced at it. It was written in Persian characters, but he couldn't understand it and put it down and said, "We know, let's step down."

"Yes!" The soldier bowed and left the big tent.

"Very well." Gu Qing handed the letter to Su Dingfang.

Su Ding also accepted the letter, "The army sent by Chang'an should arrive in a few days. Persia will be under the control of Datang from now on. As soon as the soldiers and horses stationed in Chang'an arrive, we will go home before the New Year's Eve."

On New Year's Eve, Gu Qing calculated that it was almost New Year's Eve, and wondered if the girl at home would be alright with the child?How is Xiao Sizi's condition? What is Li Zhi learning these days? Has Di Renjie handled everything in the Green Gang well?

The big tent fell into silence again, Gu Qing and Su Dingfang sat and thought about their own things.

Three days later, the garrison sent by Chang'an arrived. The general who led the garrison was Li Daliang's son. I really didn't expect it to be this boy.

"Why are you here?" Gu Qing looked at this guy.

"Your Majesty is seriously ill. His Royal Highness is in charge of the country. His Royal Highness asked me to come." Li Daliang's son spoke loudly.

"You really have the guts to come to this place." Gu Qing looked at the army behind him, "How many soldiers and horses are there here?"

"Fifty thousand." Li Daliang's son replied.

"You have to be careful in this place, there are wolves, tigers and leopards here, if you can be cruel, don't show mercy." Gu Qing instructed.

"I see."

Gu Qing smiled at the other party and said nothing more.

Su Dingfang also began to ask Li Daliang's son how to take care of the relationship between Persia and Dashi this time.

Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui, and Pei Xingjian also returned, and Su Dingfang organized his army and prepared to return to Chang'an.

"We're leaving, take care." Gu Qing said to Lu Dongzan, "Remember, prepare more beef. Anyway, the cattle on your plateau are useless except for grazing."

"I understand." Lu Dongzan nodded.

"Take care." Yang Sheng also said to Lu Dongzan.

After saying goodbye to the Tubo people, the army began to march and leave Tubo.

"Gu Qing, did you find out?" Cheng Chumo said to Gu Qing in a low voice, "Lao Fang and Lu Dongzan haven't talked much since we came to Tubo."
