One only cares about "friends", while the other can judge the situation for you, clarify the pros and cons, and solve the dilemma.
It seems that only Li Po himself would be unmoved by such a combination, because Li Po would never believe that there are the kind of friends and subordinates in the world who would consider you wholeheartedly.
After hearing this, he must have felt that these two thieving guys were disgusting and wanted to set a trap for him.
But Nang Nie was not Li Po. When he finally looked squarely at Hou Junji for the first time and regarded this man as a rare wise man, he no longer needed any brains.
Two guys who were close friends in the Tang Dynasty successfully completed the first stage of their mission to Tibet and instigated the rebellion of Tibet's army stationed on the highlands.
That night, in the "handsome tent" in Fuqi City, Lord Maben of Tubo and the two Tang envoys sat together like brothers, drinking the dry wine brought by the Tang envoys and nibbling the Tang envoys
The hunted prey listened to Tang Envoy's words that were like honey, and felt that the glory of the gods shone on him again...
Otherwise, it is difficult for people with obvious cultural differences to become true friends. This is the reason. How do you think the Central Plains people can understand the Tubo people's approach of attributing everything to gods?
.....................
Of course, neither Cheng Dashu nor Hou Junji would care about this.
There are many bearded friends in the world, but none of them can be close to each other. Hou Junji has a withdrawn temperament. If you stay around him for a long time, you will have the urge to chop him up with a knife.
In comparison, Nang Nie, who was quite thoughtful, looked more down-to-earth. When he drank too much, he talked about his father, wife and children.
He has not seen his relatives for several years, and it is estimated that they will be difficult to meet again in the future. He feels that this may be the biggest punishment he received for betraying Tubo and failing to fulfill the promise he made to the gods.
I cried a lot while drinking Nang Nie, which almost made Cheng Dabeard look stupid. But if you want to see a Tibetan man cry, that only means one thing, he regards you as a relative.
This is the same as getting along with the Turks. Even though they belong to different ethnic groups and their cultures are very different, they do have some nomadic characteristics.
I will definitely not use my tears to deceive others like that crying uncle.
But what made Cheng Dabeard even more unbearable was that after Hou Junji drank too much, he started nagging about old things...
Looking at the two idiots who had no idea what the other party was talking about but could still hug each other and cry together, Cheng Zhijie's spirit was hit hard by 10,000 points.
He even thought that it would be appropriate for him to howl a few times, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of anything sad. Hey, the Henan gangsters have everything in their stomachs, but they have no conscience.
Maybe his conscience was eaten by dogs when he was selling smuggled salt? Or maybe it was lost in the mountains and snows of Liaodong, who knows.
.....................
Time flies and March arrives in the blink of an eye, and the weather in the highlands is getting warmer day by day.
The Tubo army was gathered together by Nang Nie. Their food and grass were running out, and the Tubo people were all following Maben's orders.
Many people are still thinking about collecting the contributions from various tribes in the highlands, and according to custom, they have to take part of it and transport it back to the south. However, this year the merchants have not been seen, which makes them feel a little uneasy.
In fact, until now, except for the news that Langri Lunzan has returned to the Kingdom of Heaven, which has spread among the Tubo people, they know nothing about everything that is happening in the southern country.
Not to mention controlling your own destiny in the coming storm.
Even Nang Nie himself, Cheng Dabeard, and Hou Junji who made the decision were actually taking one step at a time and not being so sure.
.....................
"This is my hometown, Xiangxiong. We have lived at the foot of the mountain for generations, and the palace is built on the bank of the holy lake..."
While Nang Nie was gathering the army and boosting morale, he was still telling the two Tang envoys about the origins and geographical locations of the Tubo tribes, their respective customs, etc.
Now he was sitting on the ground, dutifully drawing a simple map, hoping it would be helpful to the two Tang envoys on their journey south.
Or to put it another way, the harm caused by an internal traitor is far greater than that of an external enemy, and when he is a general who leads a large army to garrison a border fortress, it is even more dangerous.
Later, the man named Wu became one of the best. It can almost be said that he and the man named Li ruined a dynasty together.
Nang Nie was still describing his hometown carefully, "Xiangxiong is the oldest tribe member. When we lived by the holy lake, the Six Yak tribe had not yet migrated to Shannan.
Our ancestors lived there for who knows how many years. They started herding cattle. Later, the Buddha sent monks to teach us how to farm. We also taught our ancestors how to speak and write.
When Langri Lun agreed to become the leader of the Tubo Kingdom, he wanted to order people to change these things, which aroused the resistance of the Xiangxiong tribes. This may be one of the reasons why so many people want to restore the country today, right?
We Xiangxiong people worship Buddhism and have built many Buddhist temples. The Six Yak tribe has always said that they are the descendants of rock girls and apes and believe in many gods.
We Xiangxiong people do not reject these, because the gods are always so awe-inspiring, and the Buddha does not mind having more waiters under him..."
Cheng Dabeard and Hou Junji looked at each other, feeling that what he said made sense.
In fact, the general meaning is that if you can't resist, you lie down and start enjoying it. The people of Yalong tribe are also very considerate, and they don't pull Buddha down, but everyone joins in the same trend.
It may seem chaotic, but it is actually very tolerant, which ensures that the Tibetan tribes did not shed too much blood because of religion.
Unlike those guys in the west, if you don't believe me, then I will kill you. Similar logic continued until the era of prosperous science and technology, and not much changed.
The Tubo people are very down-to-earth, and most people hold the attitude that having more gods to bless them is not a bad thing. After all these years, there has been a trend of integration among people. Would you say it’s amazing?
Nang Nie also talked about the Supi people, a tribe where women are the masters of the family. The Xiangxiong people have always looked down upon them.
This is probably the chain of contempt among the Tubo people. The Xiangxiong people look down on the Supi people, and then the two families jointly despise the Yalong people.
But... what is disappointing is that the Yalong barbarians in their eyes have completed a magnificent counterattack, knocking two city-states who had never looked down on them to the ground and rubbing them.
So the people of Xiangxiong and Supi became honest...
The barbaric conquest of civilization did not only happen in the Central Plains, the Tubo people also experienced this dramatic scene...
