Not to mention how fragile and unreliable, even humiliating, such a "friendship" maintained by women and relatives is.

In Li Wangyou's view, the marriage is simply a stain on Li Er's life.

It is not as bloody as the Ming Dynasty's ancestral motto of "no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country".

Princess Wencheng married to Tubo and brought vegetables, grain seeds, exquisite handicrafts and advanced production technology of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tubo people did not think it was friendship at all, but regarded it as the respect of Tubo by the Tang people.

As for Princess Wencheng, she was not loved by Songtsan Gampo either.

When Songtsan Gampo married Princess Wencheng, he already had a Nepalese Princess Chizun as his wife, and she was very favored.

The so-called Red Palace built to marry Princess Wencheng, that is, the Potala Palace in later generations, was built for Princess Chizun.

This is also quite easy to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. If the palace was built to alleviate Princess Wencheng's homesickness, its architectural style would not be a Nibro style palace, but a Tang style palace.

Li Wangyou naturally knows what the Potala Palace will look like in later generations.

To say that the Potala Palace was built by Songtsen Gampo to marry Princess Wencheng is pure nonsense.

It is recorded in "Tibet King Tongji" that Princess Wencheng has been in Tibet for many years. She has no children and no favors, and her status is mediocre.

Nine years later, Songtsan Gampo died, and Princess Wencheng was a widow for 31 years... This is what happened to Princess Wencheng.

Li Wangyou secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he couldn't let this kind of thing happen under his nose.

If the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzangan went to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage, Li Wangyou even began to ponder whether he should just kill this guy.

Destroy Tubo!

This thought burned like wildfire in Li Wangyou's heart, and it lasted for a long time.

He even had the urge to turn around and go back to Chang'an City, find Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and others, and plan this matter carefully.

Li Wangyou felt that ten years of preparation should be enough for Datang to accumulate strength, destroy Tubo in one fell swoop, and bring it into the territory of Datang.

After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Li Wangyou, who has been eating and waiting to die, has a clear goal for the first time.

The Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought each other for a hundred years, and the battles recorded in the history books took place more than 190 times.

But as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, he was still unable to deal with Tubo, let alone bring Tubo into his territory.

The reason, in addition to the strong soldiers and horses of Tubo, is more important because of geographical issues.

As we all know, due to altitude sickness on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the era of cold weapons, even the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty still had nothing to do with the plateau reaction after going to the plateau.

In particular, Tang Shi did not understand the cause of altitude sickness. He only knew that it was a disease called "miasma disease" or "miasma disease", and there was no effective prevention and treatment.

In addition, in Datang, cotton was not planted and used on a large scale.

The soldiers lacked good means of keeping out the cold, and the low temperature in the plateau area and the difficulty of logistical supplies all restricted the Tang army's iron cavalry to attack Tubo.

Li Wangyou thinks that altitude sickness is not difficult to overcome. When entering a plateau above 3000 meters above sea level, 50% to 75% of people will experience altitude sickness, but after three to ten days of adaptation, the symptoms of altitude sickness will gradually disappear.

In addition, the traditional Chinese medicine Rhodiola can effectively overcome altitude sickness, so overcoming altitude sickness should not be a big problem.

The difficulty of attacking Tubo lies in keeping out the cold and logistical supplies.

To keep out the cold requires large-scale cotton planting, Li Wangyou silently kept this in mind, and planned to discuss this matter with Li Er after returning to Chang'an.

The logistics problem is actually not difficult.

Li Wangyou immediately thought of luncheon meat, meat floss, fried noodles and other military rations of later generations, all of which could be easily produced in Datang for the army to eat.

In this way, Tang Jun can go into battle lightly.

But now that he and Yan Liben have made a hydraulic forging hammer, Tang Jun's equipment is even better, so Li Wangyou doesn't believe that Tubo can't be destroyed.

Li Wangyou pondered, if he wanted to destroy the powerful enemy of Tubo within ten years, there was one more thing that must be planned and prepared in advance, and that was to send various spies to go deep into the plateau to find out the climate, roads, and geographical environment in Tubo. Only when the army is launched can it be targeted.

Otherwise, if hundreds of thousands of troops go out to fight, even if they hit the plateau, they will be blinded.

Thinking of this, Li Wangyou suddenly slapped himself on the head.

Fortunately, he still claims to be a fan of the army, so he even forgot such an important thing.

At the beginning, in order to build his mansion and castle, he made a sand table, which was treasured by Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others.

But he actually forgot to get out the map and give it to Li Er.

Needless to say, how rough and simple the current map of Tang Dynasty is, if Li Wangyou were to draw a map out of thin air, it would be unreliable.

But why did he forget that there is navigation software in Su Changqing's cell phone.

Even if there is no internet or GPS now, there are downloaded offline maps!

The city maps of later generations are naturally useless, but even if it is a simple national map, if it is copied and drawn, the accuracy of its proportions can kill all the maps of Datang in seconds!

Why does he need to do so many messy things in Chang'an City?

Presenting this map will immediately blind the 24K krypton gold dog eyes of Li Er and the big bosses!

Is it still a problem to change Su Changqing's title?

880 Marquis of Yanling

Of course, even if Li Wangyou thought of the map earlier, he might not use the map to exchange titles with Li Er.

Because in his opinion, Su Changqing's contribution this time is enough to be awarded a title, so why can't he get a title?

Therefore, when it was time to do something, Li Wangyou would not be lenient.

In Chang'an City, the commotion is getting worse and worse.

"Exorcism of Ghosts", which promotes Xuzhou's disaster relief and anti-epidemic, has become a household name in Chang'an City through the mouth of storytellers.

After returning home, Liu Qingsan, the coordinator of Taichang Temple, heard his mother and daughter-in-law at the dinner table, discussing with relish the new book they heard today, and asked curiously: "Mother, is there a new book in the bookstore today? What book is it?" ? I’ll go and listen to it when I’m resting.”

"Husband, that book is very nice. It's called "Exorcism of Ghosts". It tells the story of Huxian Gong and Mrs. Su fighting against the plague ghosts in Xuzhou and curing the big-headed plague. Mrs. Su is really amazing, really. A hero among women!"

Before Mrs. Liu Qing could speak, his daughter-in-law Liu couldn't wait to tell her husband about today's new book.

Mrs. Liu Qing also nodded frequently, feeling that what her daughter-in-law said was right.

"That's right, that's the case. This "Exorcism of Ghosts" is really good to listen to. If my son is Xiu Mu, he must go to the bookstore and listen to this book carefully."

When Liu Qing heard this, his face turned dark immediately.

He immediately thought of Mrs. Su's conferment of a knighthood.If there is no accident, this so-called "Exorcism of Ghosts" must have been produced by the Hu County Duke.
