Take the mall to Datang

"Wouldn't you be angry if I commented on your Tubo king?" Yuan Shan asked suddenly.

Lu Dongzan didn't say anything, but Erdawa and Gajianzanqibu couldn't control their anger. Even if they were drunk, they would be angry when they heard someone's evaluation of Tubo in such a bad way, but they were moved by the rhythm. Zan stopped it.

"I would like to hear the details, but I declare that although I am an envoy, I must complete this negotiation, but this does not mean that I can forgive you for evaluating our king in this way." Lu Dongzan insisted and his position was clear.

Yuan Shan admired his performance very much, as an envoy, he should have such a demeanor, being strong is not necessarily reflected in strength, in fact, the most important thing about endurance is patience.

"In this case, I will continue to talk about why the Tubo king's courage is useless in my opinion. Let's take Datang and Tubo as examples. In fact, the biggest problem is nothing more than interests. They have been fighting for the ownership of the Western Regions for so many years. Well, what did you get in the end, endless war? In fact, you performed very well when you came to my Tang Dynasty to pay tribute in the eighth year of Wude, and stability can allow the two countries to develop." Yuan Shan said.

"But what are you doing now? Just a little bit better, and your ambitions are inflated. Don't you think about what your real purpose is. Is it courageous to start a war with my Tang Dynasty? Tell you that is not courage, but stupidity." Yuan Shan continued.

"If Tubo really has a wise king, perhaps it is the best choice for them to choose to belong to Datang. Tubo has a vast land and few people, and has many advantageous resources, but why can't it develop better like Datang? Many elements Caused, but no matter what you continue to do like this, the result will be conflicts between tribes, living the same poor life year after year, will the nobles become richer and richer, obviously not, you said such a no-development How much the country can achieve in the future."

When Yuan Shan said this, Lu Dongzan was moved. He felt as if he was trying to persuade him to surrender. Why should Tang be a vassal, why should he compromise, why should he give up the territory?

"Lan Guogong, you really like to joke. Although the national power of Tubo is not as good as that of Tang Dynasty, but the soldiers are strong and horses, and the tribal warriors are brave and powerful. We can conquer what we want by ourselves. It is impossible for you to make Tubo surrender to Tang Dynasty." Lu Dongzan said that what he thought was that it would not be impossible to consider cooperation.

"Haha, I'm just talking casually. How about the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see wisdom? Enemies are temporary, and benefits are long-term, right?" Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 813 Qinzan is back

Lu Dongzan pretended to think, and he found that Tang Ren's thinking in front of him was too jumpy, which made him feel like he couldn't figure it out.

"Long-term benefits, that's a good thing to say, maybe we should really talk about Tuyuhun." Lu Dongzan said.

Yuan Shan knew that they wanted to use Tuyuhun as an excuse to talk about things, but would he give them such a chance.

"Haha, Tuyuhun has been harassing our Tang border all the year round, robbing caravans, and causing trouble for no reason. I didn't take it so seriously before. The main reason is that I pity the people of Tuyuhun. It's not easy to live. There will inevitably be some friction between the two sides in the borderlands, but we are wrong. Unexpectedly, Tuyuhun didn't repent and took Datang's kindness as weakness, so they were wiped out just like that, that's all." Yuan Shan said.

To say it is an understatement, just like exterminating Tuyuhun is just a one-sentence matter. Lu Dongzan can't stand the confidence of the Tang people, but Tuyuhun was indeed wiped out by the Tang people. It is impossible for them to do it. The battle ended so quickly, let alone wiped out the entire Tuyuhun. According to the news they got, all the people in Tuyuhun were taken away by the Tang people.

Now the tribe left by Tuyuhun is still making trouble for them all the time.

"Tuyuhun is nothing to fear." Lu Dongzan said.

Yuan Shan nodded and said: "It's true that the 20 soldiers and horses will be replaced by which side, no matter how big it is, the small place of Tuyuhun will be unreasonable, but do you know how many people our Tang people used?"

Yuan Shan's self-confidence made Lu Dongzan suspicious. He really wanted to know how many people the Tang people had used. Based on his feeling, he felt that the Tang people must not have paid too many troops, otherwise they would not have brought up this matter.

But waiting to hear the following, the other party stopped talking.

"Well, I didn't notice that this meat is too old. It seems that the cooking method is a little bit worse, and the taste is much worse. Yuan Shan said casually." Yuan Shan said with chopsticks holding the mutton, really looking at the "sheep".

This guy meant something, could it be that he was comparing the king of Tubo with the emperor of Tang Dynasty? Lu Dongzan was very puzzled.

"Haha, I'm already full." Lu Dongzan said.

"Dong Zan, your appetite isn't big enough. Some people say that dreams come only when you have a big appetite. It seems that you are not an ambitious person." Yuan Shan said.

Lu Dongzan just listened.

At this moment, someone came in from outside the camp and came to Yuan Shan's side, said something in his ear, and then went out immediately.

"Haha, it's a good thing I have guests here today, otherwise this big pot of mutton would be a waste," Yuan Shan said.

Li Jing looked at the mutton in the pot and asked Yuan Shan to scoop it up. There was so much of it. They were all waiting for new pieces of mutton.

Seeing Yuan Shan talking nonsense with the Tubo envoy while eating, Li Jing, Zhang Wenyi and others felt a lot more relaxed, and they really came to eat with them today.

"Go and invite our guests in," Yuan Shan said.

Then I saw a disheveled, blood-stained man escorted in by two soldiers. The armor on his body had been ripped off long ago, but the clothes on his body were made of extremely exquisite materials. It was obvious that he was a nobleman.

As soon as the people came in, the Tubo envoys and others were stunned. What they saw was not someone else but Gar Qinling Tsandro, the son of Ludongzan, who was escorted back from Songzhou.

Ludong Zhanteng stood up suddenly, and hurried to the man to brush away his messy hair, and saw that it was his son Gar Qinling Zandro.

"Qin Zan!" Lu Dongzan's business was a bit bleak, and it sounded very miserable.

If such a scene were changed to other fathers and sons, it would probably be the same. Lu Dongzan is like taking his son away now, but he can't now, because he is an envoy who came to negotiate. The appearance of Qinzan will undoubtedly increase the opponent's bargaining chip. You can make suggestions for the Tubo king and sacrifice something for the development of Tubo, but this does not mean that his son is included.

Qinzan is his heir, and the big family needs him as his heir.

Qin Zan was stunned when he saw his father at Tangren's side. He first wondered if his father had been captured, but it was not like seeing them eating together in such a "harmonious" way.

Inexplicably, he kept silent at the same time, even if he saw his father when everything was unclear, he pretended not to know him, but Lu Dongzan's performance was not so calm.

"Hahaha, the reunion of father and son is really touching, but it's a pity that Qinzan is my guest today, Qinzan looks a little tired, he must be starving, it's better to be hungry sooner rather than later, come here for good wine and good meat , You're welcome." Yuan Shan said.

Qin Zan looked very embarrassed. At this time, he forced himself to look at his father first, and after getting the confirmation from the other party, he sat on the seat and began to eat.

He didn't receive any good treatment along the way. Apart from someone helping him to treat the arrow wound briefly, his diet was basically not guaranteed. They were all a bunch of rough people, and what good service could they provide for prisoners? The soldiers they were responsible for escorting were all dealt with by themselves.

Seeing Qin Zan eating, Lu Dong Zan lost all expression on his face, can he still eat? He stopped just now, and now he is watching Tang Ren and his son cooking hot pot, not to mention how awkward they are. It's one of them.

The two Tubo officials were a little sober at this time, and the current problem was much more serious than they imagined.

"The king of Tubo is really brave. He even photographed 5 horses for two tribes, but it's a pity that the wind and sand along the way were too strong, and he lost his eyes and ended up buried in the bones." Yuan Shan said.

"Lan Guogong, what do you want?" Lu Dongzan said.

Yuan Shan shook his head and said, "I can do whatever I want."

"Tell me your conditions." Lu Dongzan said.

"How is Qin Zan's life in Datang? As long as he is diligent and has enough food and clothing, there is no problem. If he has made great contributions to Datang, he can be a high-ranking official and rich salary. Why don't you think about it." He said casually.

He said that the listener had no intention of listening, how could Lu Dongzan allow his son to live in Datang? What to do, he couldn't figure it out.

"Hmph, dreaming!" Qin Zan said suddenly.

The translator immediately translated it, and the scene suddenly became cold, only the boiling water in the hot pot was bubbling, and some charcoal burning sounds could be heard.

Yuan Shan shrugged, and said to Qin Zan: "It seems that you have no choice now, Dong Zan, what do you think?"

Lu Dongzan is a smart man, and now he doesn't know what's going on, so he won't pay to be the minister of Tubo. It's obvious that the Tang people want to use his son to make himself clear his position. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to betraying Songtsan Gampo to help Tang people.

Chapter 814

Losing admiration, it is very difficult to cultivate a person who has the ability to inherit the family. How much you pay is related to gold and silver, and it depends on talent.

Lu Dongzan was caught in the middle of a decision. As for Qin Zan's attitude, he was completely ignored by everyone, because he was now just a prisoner in the eyes of Tang people.

The Tubo envoys began to discuss.

The people on Yuanshan's side were overwhelmed, and they were also waiting.

"Inspector Jiao, how long have you been working here?" Yuan Shan began to chat with Jiao Junren, the governor of Hezhou. After arriving in Hezhou, Jiao Junren accompanied him to visit. He knew a little about Hezhou, but he was not good at people. too familiar.
