"Tell me, Prime Minister, what do you think we should do about this matter against the Tang people?"
Lu Dongzan thought for a moment.
"For this matter, I think the main thing is to learn from the Tang people."
Huh? Everyone was shocked when the Prime Minister said this.
Now that this is the case, do you still want to become friends with Datang?
For a moment, if everyone hadn't looked at the Prime Minister standing in front of them, Tubo would have suffered such great humiliation, and no one would be able to accept the thought of not having a fight with the Tang Dynasty.
"But everyone, you should also remember one thing.
If you are strong and you are weak, you should give in or give in, because if you are the best, you will definitely die.
But the Tang Dynasty and we have not yet had a real fight with them.
I, Tubo, was so looked down upon by the Tang Dynasty, all because the Tang Dynasty did not know the true strength of our Tubo people.
So I agree with having a fight with the Tang Dynasty to let them know our true strength.
As the old saying goes, there are no friends between countries, all are interests.
In fact, we and Datang are just like this.
They are doing it for the benefit of their own country and people, and we are also doing it for the benefit of our Tubo country and people.
As long as we let the Tang people know the true strength of our Tubo, we will have the upper hand when negotiating with the Tang Dynasty.
We must let Datang know that fighting us will cost a lot.
In this way, we can learn the advanced knowledge from Datang through this method."
It turned out that this was what the Prime Minister meant, and everyone suddenly understood after hearing this.
Then the discussion started.
"Prime Minister, it's just a Tang Dynasty. If we want to fight, we can fight. There is no need to act like a mother-in-law.
Yes, Prime Minister, we Tubo are so powerful, why should we be afraid of the Tang people and directly go to war to destroy the Tang Dynasty!"
"Everyone."
Lu Dongzan shook his head.
"Everyone, how can I not know what you are thinking?
Not to mention you, even I wish I had a fight with the Tang Dynasty and wiped out the Tang people in one go.
But you also have to understand this. The Tang Dynasty can't be wiped out easily just by saying we wipe them out.
If we can deal with this group of enemies easily, I won't think of taking such a method again.
All because the strength of this Tang man cannot be underestimated.
So we can only be cautious.
The Tang Dynasty is a tiger, and we are the wolves of Tubo.
We can go up and tear off their flesh violently to let them know how powerful we Tubo people are.
But it is absolutely impossible to completely conquer them with our current strength.
So what we have to do is to bite off a piece of meat from them.
Just let the Tang people know how powerful we Tubo people are.
In order to obtain our own interests as Tubo people, this is in line with our wishes.
"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
"Zanpu, we are definitely going to fight a battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet.
But you also need to understand how we should fight this war and what purpose we have for fighting it.
Rather than just blindly thinking that I am the best in the world.
The war with their Tubo people is just to seek greater interests for us, the Tubo people, so as to accumulate strength.
As I said before, there once was an emperor named Gou Jian in the Central Plains.
When he was attacked by the enemy, he began to sleep in hiding, and in the end, he worked hard to destroy the enemy's city.
Today, compared with him Goujian, we are actually better than him and have a higher advantage.
But we started a life-and-death battle with the Tang Dynasty and wanted to completely capture them, but we in Tubo still couldn't do it.
Their population is tens of millions, while ours is only one million.
Only we dealt with the Tang people severely, letting them know that the Tibetan people were powerful.
At that time, we will go to Datang to negotiate with them, and we will take the initiative.
We will be able to obtain the benefits that belong to us Tubo people on the side of the Tang people.
Let me ask you, if you give Tubo 10 years to develop, don’t you have the confidence to make Tubo 10 times or a hundred times stronger than it is now?”
Everyone heard this and nodded repeatedly. Sure enough, this Prime Minister is worthy of being a Prime Minister. The pros and cons of this analysis are very accurate and every word is accurate.
As for this group of people, they only know how to fight and kill, and have never considered such a situation at all.
Until today when the Prime Minister explained it like this, everyone said that they had misunderstood the Prime Minister and that the Prime Minister's explanation was too thorough.
"Everyone, what do you think of what the Prime Minister said?"
"Zanpu, we all agree that what the Prime Minister said is reasonable.
According to our current situation, there is no need to completely break up with Datang.
Just raise troops and go to their territory to have a fight.
Just let the Tang people know how powerful we Tubo people are."
For a moment, the rest of the people also nodded.
My actions this time were just to let them know the true strength of Tibet.
At the same time, it can also allow them to Tubo and obtain corresponding benefits. It can be said that it is a multi-purpose achievement, which is wonderful.
"Okay, everyone, since the Prime Minister has said this, are there any other objections?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Now that the situation has arisen, things can only be done as the Prime Minister said.
Songtsen Gampo took another look.
"If that's the case, then we will start fighting as the Prime Minister said.
Pass my order and immediately send 200,000 troops to assemble at the southeastern border of Tubo.
Waiting for next spring to start a war with the Tang Dynasty."
"It's Zamp."
"Zanpu, their city in the Tang Dynasty is very tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
I will send people to build siege equipment first, and then we can use these siege equipment to conquer the city of Datang."
"Okay, in that case, go ahead and arrange the siege equipment, and the Prime Minister will leave it to you to handle it.
This time I will decide on Datang."
"It's Zamp, I will do my best."
After discussing the strategy, the Tubo people got up and left to make preparations for war.
However, Li Er, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea because he rejected Tubo's marriage proposal.
After the Tubo people returned to their own territory, they began to prepare to raise troops and come to fight.
Of course, for Li Er, what would he do even if he knew that they were coming to fight against Tibet?
What is a Tubo?
Even if a thousand troops come, I, the Tang Dynasty, are not afraid at all.
When friends come, there will be wine; when enemies come, there will be weapons.
