Chapter 725: Turks visit Tibet
After the alliance between the Western Turks Khan ended, he traveled with the Uighur Khan. The two countries were originally enemy countries. When the Western Turks took Gaochang for Bai Fan, the Uighurs were still snatching Lengzi from the rear to attack the Western Turks.
However, the so-called "no eternal enemy, only eternal interests". In less than two years, when the Western Turks seized the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions and at the same time, they were defeated and returned to their nests when they fought against the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs appeared again.
This time, it was not a stab in the back, but a lobbyist to lobby the Western Turks. They were also talking about the foreseeable situation of Goguryeo, saying that the remaining major powers on the grassland are the Uighurs and the Western Turks. Once the Tang Dynasty completely rises, it is difficult to ensure that the territory will not be expanded, so the grassland unity is needed.
At that time, Mo Hedu was just vague and thought about one day of revenge. However, after the Goguryeo Alliance, the two countries finally abandoned their past grudges and got together.
"Khan, our Uighur country is weak and has few people, and we cannot compare with the Western Turks' strength, so we can only produce 100,000 elite cavalry." The Uighur country ruled.
Mo Hedu nodded, and there were 100,000 people, but the Uighurs did not hide their own personalities.
"Let's go back first to prepare for the battle. Autumn has just passed, and we can't start a war for a while. After all, winter is coming. Our grassland is most afraid of the cold winter. Now the Tang Dynasty has tightened its exit to us again, and life is really sad.
I have discussed with Yuan Gai Suwen in private and go back to have a winter first. When the spring of the next year is about to start, the Tang Dynasty will catch them off guard."
"The great khan is very insightful."
The two countries signed a letter of alliance in the Uighur King's tent. Mo Heduo drove his horse back to the Western Turks. He did not forget that he agreed and contacted the Tubo people to see if there were any means to restrain the thunder.
In order to show his solemnity and need to hide his traces along the way, Mo Hedu sent his confidant subordinates, the Left Xian King of the Western Turks personally disguised himself and headed straight for the bitter and cold land of Tubo.
After three months of hardship, the Left Sage King of Western Turks finally climbed the plateau and came to the Tubo royal city. There were originally a team of fifty people when they set out, but now there are only less than twenty people left. This is still the case when the Tang Dynasty encountered an enemy, which shows the difficulties and dangers of the journey.
In the Tubo Yingguan Inn, a group of Tubo people surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, staring at Zuo Xianwang and his group.
"Yo, is this the grassland man? It's so rough?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that it is a Western Turkic country. I don't know what to eat to grow up with."
"I heard it's a meal of mutton and goat milk, which is much better than our barley."
"It's just that this outfit is a bit unbearable. It's almost like the beggars in our city. Could it be that they spend all their money on eating? They can't even afford a piece of clothing?"
The onlookers pointed and pointed at each word.
These two countries, one in the south and the other in the north, basically had no intersection, but now they have exchanges due to their joint efforts against the Tang Dynasty, so it is no wonder that the people are surprised.
As the people speculated, the road was difficult and dangerous, and they had to be vigorously disguised. Zuo Xianwang is worthy of being a wise general of the Western Turks. In order to keep a low profile, his clothes were directly dressed in beggars. He had not changed them in March. All the money was consumed into food and medicine. As a general who shouldered heavy responsibilities, he knew the importance of maintaining physical strength and combat effectiveness, so he did not lose weight during the journey.
"The envoy, welcome the envoy to visit me in Tubo, but my family Zanpu is still meeting guests, and I have no time to meet with you. I have to wait a few days. When my family Zanpu is finished, I will naturally summon you and others." The inn officials were very kind.
Zuo Xianwang thought to himself, could this Zanpu be doing something? You are so bitter and cold in Tubo, do you have other diplomatic contacts? You can't be from the Tang Dynasty, otherwise you would have delayed me on purpose.
But when you are in someone else's territory, Zuo Xianwang can only endure it. Just wait a few days. I will be a fish and meat for others. What can I do if I do it?
This is why King Zuo Xian was wrong. Tubo Zanpu was really meeting guests, but it was not from the Tang Dynasty. Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were mortal enemies, so how could they establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty?
When Qingcheng sent 10,000 dead soldiers to fight into Tubo. In the decisive battle under the royal city, Li Zheng, an elder in Qingcheng, led the head of Qingcheng and the elders, to enter the central army. Although he died in a fierce battle, he also directly killed the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo and the great prime minister Lu Dongzan on the spot.
The current Tubo king is General Li Xinzhong who led the army to take revenge at that time.
Of course, Li Xinzhong is a survivor from the Li family in Longxi, the great-grandson of the Qingcheng elder Li Zheng. It was the conspiracy of this envoy Li Xinzhong to lure the people in Qingcheng to slaughter the Tubo monarchs and ministers, so that he could take people to revenge and seize power without knowing all this.
After Li Xinzhong took over the real power, he quickly won over a group of loyal people and then eliminated them. From then on, Tubo changed his ownership. This plan is incredible.
However, the Tang Dynasty laid a nail on the edge of Tubo, and the defending city was the thunder of the sky. The guard was Li Yuanji, the King of Qi. In this way, Tubo was helpless and could only defend passively. Thinking hard, Li Xinzhong decided to take a risk, open the western passage, and contact Tianzhu in the west for help. Although there was a mountain chasm between them, he didn't care much about it in order to survive.
After two years, he got what happened. The one who met this time was the envoy from India.
After waiting for five days, Zuo Xianwang waited for Li Xinzhong's summons. Although he didn't expect that Tubo Zanpu would be a person dressed in a completely Tang Dynasty, it was no wonder that Songzan Gampo admired the Tang Dynasty the most.
"I wonder what happened to the Western Turkic envoy who came to me in Tubo?"
"The Left King of Western Turks had met the Tubo king. This is the letter to Zanpu by my Khan. Please read it in detail."
Li Xinzhong opened the letter of the country and looked carefully. After reading it, he realized that this was the Western Turks who wanted to form an alliance to fight against the Tang Dynasty and seek advice on how to deal with the thunder.
After thinking a little, Li Xinzhong said, "I have already understood the purpose of the envoy. The alliance is feasible, but you and I are too far apart, so this joint war is difficult to do, so this alliance can only be limited to mutual benefit.
As for the restraint method you mentioned in the sky thunder, I, Tubo, have suffered a great loss, and I can only stick to it and dare not fight easily.
However, after two years of research, we finally conquered the firing of the powerful weapon of the Tang Dynasty's city guarding, which can be shared with you. I believe that with this cement, you will use it to build a city and stick to it. You will no longer be afraid of the Tang Dynasty's thunder and bombing the city."
At first, King Zuo Xian thought he had run away in vain, but he didn't expect that the surprise was behind him. Tubo had a powerful weapon to defend the city to deal with the thunder?
That's great. Although the Western Turks did not make it very popular, the northeast is full of cities, and Goguryeo must make it.
That's right, it's cement. Li Xinzhong is very talented and has an extraordinary background. After two years, he has overcome the difficulties of burning cement on the plateau with multiple experiments. Now all cities in Tubo have gradually built cement exterior walls to prevent the Tang Dynasty from exploding the walls.
As for cooperating with Western Turks and other countries to attack the Tang Dynasty, Li Xinzhong gave up after careful consideration. Now he has not accumulated enough and cannot attack. Even if he combines with Western Turks and Goguryeo, he has a chance of winning, and he cannot defeat the thunder in the sky, so he cannot fight.
As for the method of breaking the sky thunder, Li Xinzhong has found a solution in Tianzhu. I believe that as long as the big thing is done, it will not only be able to pull out the nails on the edge of Tubo, but also to counterattack the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
