Chapter 31

The three hundred Zanpu personal soldiers led by Songzan Sado caught up with the Tang Dynasty mission in the afternoon. Faced with the three hundred most murderous soldiers on the plateau, the Tang Dynasty and Fan Alliance sent the Tang Dynasty to give up resistance wisely. So, after leaving Luoshe City for only four hours, all the members of the mission returned to the place where they left in the morning.

Immediately, under the "escort" of Songzan Sado, Cui Po passed through the chaotic city streets and was taken to the much empty Zampkin tent.

In the golden tent, a group of civil officials gathered, but many of the commanders disappeared. Cui Po bowed three times to Zanpu on the golden chaise as before, but at this time, Lu Dongzan, who had a blue face, did not scold him anymore.

"The Tang people always boast of being trustworthy by etiquette. Now, the oath of the alliance four years ago is still there. You collude with black food and food to invade our border. What's the reason? Could it be that this is the trustworthiness of the Tang court?" After the troops were dispatched to condemn the general, Qi Lizan Zanpu said with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Does the Tubo people also know how to pay attention to etiquette and keep their trust?" Cui Po said in his heart and smiled slightly, "Since the alliance reiterated its friendship four years ago, during this period, Tubo sent troops to harass our states, Su, Gan, Shan, Min, Mao and other states, captured my people and plundered my wealth. Could it be that the noble King Zamp thinks this is a friendly act?" He glanced at Zamp with a blue face and said again, "Besides, the previous alliance period ended fifteen days ago, and the new alliance given to me by Master Da Luan is to ask for cloth and 50,000 pieces of brocade, and to cancel the God-State plan

The eight towns garrisons, was the noble king of Zanpu thought this would be a friendly act? For more than a hundred years, my Tangting, married two noble princesses to the plateau, and the infinite kindness was exchanged for each other, and the noble king of Zanpu and Lord Lu Dongzan understood friendship in this way?" The gentle smile calmly said these heart-wrenching words, which only made Qi Lizanpu on the throne pale and blue, red, and turned white again. Finally, he couldn't help but beat the throne and shouted: "Come on, drag this madman out and chop it and throw it out to feed the wolf."

The four tent-protecting warriors who came in responded to the sound rushed towards Cui Po fiercely. Unexpectedly, in this narrow place, the Tang and Fan envoys dressed in Confucian shirts were as slippery as a swimming fish, moving forward and retreating and avoiding each other. The four martial men could not even touch the corners of his clothes, and were even pushed to the ground by him with the force. At this point, the Tang and Fan envoys who were still smiling had just shaken their slightly messy robe sleeves. In the surprised eyes of the people in the tent, they laughed: "Tubo warriors, but this is the case, you will not have to do it!" They turned around and calmly went to the layman in the tent.

"Let's go!" But he was the only woman in the tent. King Sun Bo's tribe and Minister Yangzong of Tubo's affairs shouted loudly.

"Zanpu, my king, is the son-in-law of Guo Ziyi, the governor of Anxi, the son-in-law of Guo Xi, the son-in-law of the Secretariat, Cui Youfu, the son-in-law of King Yong Li Shi, and is even more respected by King Yong Li Shi. If he is killed, I, Tubo and the Tang court, will have a life-and-death hatred. I can't kill you! Please ask me Wang Sansi." After stopping, Yangzong took a step forward and said quickly to Zanpu on the throne.

"What the minister said was," but the minister with pale hair and beard came out to agree.

"Forget it, bring him in!" Qi Lizan Zanpu, who was furious and shocked, waved his hand with a low expression.

At that time, Cui Bo broke the tent and only took dozens of steps away. After hearing the summons, he came in the tent again. This time he saw the ceremony, but he looked up at Qi Lizan Zanpu, who was tired on the golden couch.

"Are you not afraid that I will form an alliance with the Black Food and Food to join the Central Plains?" Qi Lizan Zanpu, who glared at Cui Po for a long time and was unwilling to accept it, said.

Upon hearing this, Cui Po smiled disapprovingly and said lightly: "My Tang and the Black-clothed Food are only the intention of condemning each other's envoys to make friendships with each other for less than ten times. So what about Tubo? Besides, if you don't break Tubo, the Tang Dynasty's Black-clothed Food is just an enclave. Not to mention that the four towns in Anxi control his food route, even the Black-clothed Food route is not willing to seek far away to form an alliance with Tubo? They command hundreds of thousands of troops and march thousands of miles, but they all tied the safety of the food route to their new allies who fought from time to time. Qu Dibo was smart and capable. Could it be that King Zanpu thought he would do such a risky thing?"

Cui Po's words were exchanged for silence in the tent. After a long time, Qi Lizan Zan Pu waved his hand hatred and said, "I am apart from the Tang Ting Mountain. Although I am a little unhappy in my nephew and uncle, it does not hinder the overall situation of friendship. The matter of alliance should be handled early. Lu Dong Zan Qing, you can handle this matter with one hand, and it is not advisable to delay it." After saying that, he immediately stood up and turned his sleeves to the back tent.

At this point, today's gold tent meeting was officially over. Cui Po was about to turn around and go back to the place to comfort the frightened members of the delegation, but saw the Da Lu Dongzan approaching and tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Cui, in an hour, you and I will hold an alliance discussion..."

Cui Po couldn't help but smile and walked into the mission hall with a smile. He stared at the worried Master Wang and others and others, and then laughed and said, "Everyone, cheer up and prepare to take advantage of the situation!" After a while, a deafening cheer came from the entire residence.

The meeting place for the League negotiations was held in the most majestic Tang Palace in Lushe City. This palace that integrates the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was originally built by Songtsen Gampo, the first owner of Lushe City, for his beautiful bride from the Tang Dynasty royal family. It is really the best place to hold the Tang-Tibet League negotiations here.

The alliance negotiation lasted for three days. Lu Dongzan, who personally participated, filmed three Mujis. The troops of Shence Eight Towns of the Tang Dynasty and the Jiannan Daozhou Army advanced ninety miles to the eastern border of the Tang and Tibet; the guards of Langya Pass in the northern border were defeated by the black-clothed Dashima soldiers and fell for two days after they were held; while the Dashi army burned the war to the Tubo local area, a alliance negotiation that was most favorable to the Tang Dynasty was finally completed since the Anshi Rebellion. In the afternoon of the same day, the two sides reiterated their first alliance oath in front of the Tang and Tibet Alliance Monument and loudly declared: "Brothers, watch for each other," amid the roar of fifty-four horns, the alliance ended successfully.

A moment after the negotiations ended, the Tubo wolf-tailed messenger who had been waiting outside immediately turned over and jumped onto Chang Cheng Jianma, and ran away with Cui Po's letter and the golden arrows that Lord Zanpu had dispatched troops from the eastern frontier. At this time, the garrisons of the eight towns of Shence and the Jiannan Daozhou army were less than a hundred miles away from the Tang-Tibet border.

…… …… …… ……

On the grasslands traveling north from Tubo to the Hexi Jiedu District of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Alliance delegation was walking with nearly a thousand ragged Tang people. Their leisurely expressions formed a sharp contrast with the Tubo soldiers who were hurriedly rushing north with arrows on their backs.

"This mission is really like a dream! To this day, Lord Cui should tell me the whole story!" He gave his mount to an old Tang man who had been captured for eight years and asked Cui Po, who was also walking beside him.

"To put it, it's just a fight between two tigers, and we'll take the opportunity to make a profit." Looking at the Tang people behind him who looked tired but had a smile on his face, Cui Po said with a heartfelt smile.

"Oh! Please tell me the whole story in detail, thinking that we can solve the problem!" Seeing that more and more members of the mission were surrounding him, the headmaster Wang said loudly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with curious eyes, Cui Po no longer concealed the matter, and patted the red mane of Wuda who was carrying two children around him, who seemed very restless and said, "That day, the Tubo people attacked the mission of the black-clothed food. After we went to rescue him, I had a long talk with the envoy of the Shabei Zheng. At that time, the black-clothed food had a meaning to go east. If he invaded the east, there were two roads to choose from.

Then I passed the Palacio Mountains, but the Palacio Mountains were high and covered with snow all year round, which was really hard to cross. Since this road was blocked, I could only pass through the four towns of Anxi. The mission of Shabei came to my Tang Dynasty to come to this matter. I just wrote a letter and asked the commander of Anxi Jie to grant the passage and make an appointment with Shabei. Two months later, the day after tomorrow is the origin of the wolf smoke in the northern border six days ago. This is what is called a war between tigers."

"Then what happened to the abnormal movements of my garrison in the Eight Towns of Shence and the Jiannan Daozhou Army?" Guo Tianbao, the commander of the Imperial Army, asked with wide eyes.

"This is the result of my official pretending to be sick on his way. In spring, the eight town garrisons and state troops needed to do camping. I spent the boss asking them to move at the right time and at the right speed in the right direction. This is the origin of the two smogs in the east and southeast directions. But the time is too sensitive, and the Tubo people can't believe that this is just camping practice." When he said this, Cui Po couldn't help but smile a little proudly.

"It would be better to kill the Eighth Army of the Tang Dynasty. If we destroy the ungrateful Tubo, we can also avenge our Tang people." However, a minor official from the Ministry of Rites in the mission said with hatred.

"Mr. Liu is in a state of urgency. Not to mention that he would mobilize the troops garrisons in the eight towns to participate in the war, his Majesty would not agree. Even without this restriction, we would definitely not be able to do this."

"Why is this? Tubo has been the biggest border trouble in our dynasty for decades. Now it is a great time to take advantage of his illness and take his life. Wouldn't it be better to solve this confidant trouble in one fell swoop?" said Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Rites excitedly.

"The Tubo people are brave and brave. If they fight to protect their country, they will increase their combat power by three points. I will attack Dashi, one east and one north, not to mention whether I can win, even if I win, it will definitely be a tragic victory. I am afraid that there will be no more elite troops in the eight towns of the Tang Dynasty. When I was in Jieshi, what could I do to resist the ambitious army of Dashi, which was like a wolf or a tiger? Now that he is fighting with two tigers, wouldn't it be better for us to reap profits?" His words caused everyone to laugh.

"Sir, do you think this black food can be won?" Seeing the warm atmosphere, an imperial guard sergeant next to him asked.

"Qu Dibo led a large army to come unexpectedly. The opponents of Tubo people gathered troops slowly, so they naturally had the upper hand in the early stage. However, after one month, when Tubo was ready, the situation of the battle would inevitably change. However, the black-clothed Dashi had been deliberately invading east for a long time, and Qu Dibo was also smart and capable, and he would definitely not think about this. The black-clothed Dashi's country has a vast territory of Tubo, and the population is more than ten times. The black-clothed Dashi's national strength is far superior, so he will inevitably increase his troops; Tubo wins in a favorable place, harmonious people, and is better good at fighting on the plateau, and has the desire to fight to the death to protect his family and country. The ending of this battle is really unpredictable!" Cui Po was also unpredictable for the ending of this war that he had exposed the last piece of paper.

"When the two strong men meet, no matter who wins, they will be the strong enemy that our Tang Dynasty will face. We don't have much time left for us!" After looking at the teams of Tubo warriors who were driving rapidly in the north, Wang Zhushi said in a heavy tone.

This sentence caused a silence, perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was too solemn. Guo Tianbao interrupted, "There are so proud of all the alliances like this. We should be happy. Don't talk about this disappointment again!" Hahaha said with a smile, he smacked his lips and continued, "The one who wants to say this is the only shortcomings in this trip is that Lord Cui is too ruthless. What a beautiful Tubo girl! He followed our team for three days, but he didn't leave it behind. Alas! How sensation would it be if he brought back to Chang'an!"

Guo Tianbao's words attracted a burst of echoing agreement, and many imperial guards sucked their mouths like toothache, expressing endless regret.

Upon hearing this, Cui Po's bright eyes dimmed. How could he forget the crystal tears and sad face when Naga Jinhua, who had suffered for three days without fruit, left. It was not until he walked four or five miles away that he dared to look back at the graceful figure standing on the grass hill. Against the backdrop of the vast grassland, she looked so lonely and sad.

"Your beauty belongs to the plateau. After leaving here and going to a foreign place where no one can understand your words, your beauty and spiritual energy will disappear. Naja Golden Flower, you are the elf of the plateau, you can only belong to the plateau." Cui Po repeatedly persuaded himself in his heart, and then he resisted the desire to run back.

"Mr. Cui, do you really want these people to go to Beijing with us? In this way, the itinerary will be much slower." Wang Zheng, who secretly blamed Guo Tianbao in his heart, turned the topic back.

"It was the court who failed them. Now they have been able to return to their hometown and want to meet the saint in Chang'an and thank them for their great kindness. If we are not sure, I am really sorry for the suffering they have suffered over the years! It is also a bit unkind! Besides, these more than a thousand people thank them for their kindness can also boost the morale and morale of the Tang Dynasty. However, this matter is not something we can decide. When we arrive at Hexi Road, the imperial court's will should be delivered. Let's talk about it later!"

Cui Po sighed and said that there was another layer of selfishness that he really couldn't express. In this alliance, he did a lot of things that were taboo. It was understandable to borrow the reputation of Mr. Guo and mobilize the eight towns of Shence and Jiannan garrisons, but the facts of the four towns of Anxi are a big hidden danger. If there were nearly a thousand people returning home, it would not only block the mouths of many interested people, but also reduce the pressure from the court.
