Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

And Lu De was not idle either, he clearly anticipated what would happen next, millions of slave soldiers were just outside the city, Yu Wenqian gave an order, and he waited People are in danger of their lives at any time.

He felt that it was time to issue an edict to the defenders in various places in Tubo, asking them to gather in one place and advance towards Luoxi City under the banner of the king of attendance.

Moreover, in order to control Luoxie City in the first place, it is also time to meet with Guo Ye, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, to discuss the most critical move.

Immediately, he ordered people to squat in disguise near the foreign affairs post, waiting for the return of Guo Ye, who was mourning at the Shannan King's Tomb.

It wasn't until evening that Guo Ye, accompanied by foreign affairs officials, brought Zhao Jiuchou, Dan Zhu and others back to Luoxie City.

When Guo Ye entered the post house and was about to take a bath and rest, Wu Lu Denai's messenger found him, and stated in a letter what happened in the Tubo court today, and at the same time tried his best to ask to see Guo Ye.

After reading the letter, Guo Ye knew that this matter had reached a bottleneck, and it was time to solve and deal with it, otherwise the volcano might erupt at any time.

So, reminded by the Messenger of Mu Lu De Nai, he changed into the Tibetan robe of the Tubo people, disguised himself out of the post house, and went straight to the residence of the Prime Minister of Mu Lu De Nai.

Arriving at the mansion of Wu Lu Denai, Guo Ye was directly invited to a secluded place by Wu Lu Denai's confidant.

When Mei Lude saw Guo Ye, he immediately recounted today's court in an anxious manner.

But in the middle of the talk, Guo Ye waved his hand to stop him, and he only heard Guo Ye say: "Mr. Lu, you have already said the whole story in your letter, so there is no need to repeat it. Since time is tight, let's get to the point early Bar."

Wu Lude was interrupted by Guo Ye so abruptly, and he didn't feel ashamed, but he murmured anxiously for a while, and then asked: "Guo Shangshu, when will the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive? If there is no reinforcement from the Tang Dynasty, it would be really difficult to deal with the millions of slaves outside the city with our defenders from all over the city."

Guo Ye cursed inwardly, shit reinforcements, you're dreaming of spring and autumn, you haven't woken up, have you?

However, he comforted him with a smile on his face: "Master Wulu, I think you are really confused, Chang'an is thousands of miles away, let alone whether your Majesty has received my letter and your "" Golmud Treaty, even if he receives it, he still has time to send reinforcements, right? It will take at least half a month to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and this is still the speed of day and night raids. Let's stand in front of us and use our strength to come Get rid of your current troubles."

Lu De was disappointed at first, but he was not two hundred and five, so he naturally knew that what Guo Ye said was reasonable, so he laughed and said: "Yes, yes! Oh, the truth is also driven by that woman Yu Wenqian, really My head is muddled, and I am confused!"

Guo Ye shook his head and smiled lightly: "Currently, let alone our reinforcements, even if you form an army of King Qin in various places, it is impossible to approach some cities in just a day or two. Therefore, the current plan is to use We have limited power to control Luoxi City in the first place."

Mei Lu De Nai nodded and said: "That's right, Guo Shangshu and I have thought of getting together."

As he said that, he looked troubled again, and sighed: "But with your three thousand Xichuan army, and my five thousand soldiers and horses buried in the slave army outside the city, how could it be so easy? Don't say it. The millions of slave army outside the city, even the garrison inside the city, may not be able to take it down. And once the slave army outside the city is alarmed, it will be an army of millions of slaves pouring into the city. When the time comes, you and I Yu Wenqian must have counterattacked, encircled and suppressed, leaving no bones left!"

"Well, I understand what you said. So..."

Guo Ye took a cautious look at Lu Denai, and said softly, "So, now we have to do one thing first, and that is not to give Yu Wenqian the opportunity to mobilize the slave army outside the city to enter some cities."

"It's difficult, the attitude of our side is very clear, and has already sternly rejected Queen Yunrong's proposal to succeed Zanpu, so this woman has probably already begun to arrange a plan to kill us."

Wu Lu De Nai shook his head and sighed in panic, "If she doesn't mobilize the slave army outside the city to kill us, it's hard, hard!"

Guo Ye ignored Wu Lu Denai's long and short sighs, but suddenly asked: "Mr. Wu Lu, Mr. Guo overheard the foreign affairs official who accompanied me to mourn the royal tomb today. If your country's new Zanpu If you want to be crowned, you have to go to the tomb of the late Zanpu to perform the succession ceremony, right?"

When Wulu Denai heard Guo Ye's answer to the wrong question, he couldn't help but feel angry, but now he has something to ask for, and the two of them are now considered a cooperative alliance, so he replied patiently: "Yes, this is from my Tubo Kingdom. Tradition. In doing so, in addition to respecting the late Zanpu, I also hope that the spirit of the late Zanpu in heaven can bless the new Zanpu and lead the Tubo country to become rich and powerful."

"Oh……"

Guo Ye nodded to himself, was silent for a while, and then asked again inexplicably: "So, if Queen Yunrong succeeds Zanpu, then she and Yu Wenqian will also go dozens of miles away. Arrive at the Songtsen Gampo Mausoleum on the banks of the Qiongjie River in Shannan for the succession ceremony?"

"Of course, this is our country's tradition, and any new Zanpu cannot be exempted. What? Queen Yunrong succeeds the new Zanpu?"

When Wu Lude heard something was wrong, he furiously said: "Guo Shangshu, do you want to break the covenant and support that bitch Yunrong as the superior?"

Guo Ye glared at Wu Lu Denai unhappily, and rebuked with some displeasure: "Master Wu Lu, I think you are really in trouble, and you have lost a bit of space. In the current situation, only you pretend to compromise Only then can Yu Wenqian give up her plan to mobilize an army of millions of slaves outside the city to enter the city, and you can temporarily breathe and save your life. Otherwise, hehe, do you think there is a chance of winning with your current resistance?"

Mulu De Nai seemed to understand Guo Ye's meaning, and asked weakly: "Guo Shangshu means to paralyze and delay them first, and wait for the arrival of the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty and our King Fangqin army?"

Guo Ye did not answer him, but said softly: "There is a saying in our Central Plains, which is 'If you want to take what you want, you must first give it'. Today, Guo Mou forwarded this sentence to the Prime Minister of Meilu... "

Chapter 939 Undercurrents surging

Guo Ye and Mulu Denai secretly discussed the strategy in the Tubo Prime Minister's Mansion, and worked out a perfect strategy, namely:

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

Wulu Denai suddenly realized that the thoughts that were blocked and confused just now suddenly became enlightened, and applauded repeatedly: "Miao Miaomiao, it is really wonderful! What Guo Shangshu meant was to pretend to promise Yu Wenqian and support Queen Yunrong to succeed Zanpu In this position, make false claims with them first, and stabilize them. Then wait for them to go to the royal tomb in the south of Shannan to perform the succession ceremony, and then do anything to them?"

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's the reason, as long as you compromise, Yu Wenqian and the others will definitely relax their guard, and when they go to the royal tomb in the south of Shannan to perform the succession ceremony, they will never bring a million dollars with them." Will the army of slaves go with you?"

"will not!"

Meilu De Nai shook his head vigorously, and said excitedly: "According to the past rules, apart from inviting Tubo dignitaries and envoys from various countries in Luoxi City to watch the ceremony when Xin Zanpu ascended the throne, at most he would only bring the palace guards and a few The garrison of Qiandu City is guarding the area of ​​the royal tomb under martial law. And the slave army outside the city is of low status and despicable, so they are not qualified to go to the royal tomb to observe the ceremony.”

"That's right." Guo Ye slapped his thigh suddenly, and said with a smile, "You don't need to bring a soldier when the time comes, you just need to lead everyone to watch the ceremony according to the rules. As for the matter of doing it, you are free. I have [-] Xichuan troops under my account to manage it."

"Good, great good!"

With golden stars in both eyes, Mei Lude praised with a dancing face: "Tsk tsk, Guo Shangshu is really a trick, oh no, I made a slip of the tongue, Guo Shangshu really has a plan to secure the world. Such a serious and complicated situation The matter, in your hands, is so easy and easy to solve. Submit it, no Lu De is really subdued today, hahaha..."

"Cough cough..."

Guo Ye heard the dignified Tubo prime minister flattering himself so unscrupulously, he was still a little unsuited to the ecstasy, he felt nauseous, coughed twice, and kindly reminded: "No hut! Prime Minister, we have only made a preliminary plan now, and it’s not yet time to celebrate. I think it’s best for you to go to the palace to meet Yu Wenqian at this time, and tell him your attitude of supporting Queen Yunrong after changing your mind. If the mad woman orders millions of slave soldiers to flood the city, it will be too late for regrets!"

"what?"

Wu Lude was stunned, patted his forehead repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory, I almost forgot about it. Guo Shangshu, forgive me for neglecting you, I will enter the palace now, and I won't accompany you."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, the most important thing right now is to go to the palace to stabilize Yu Wenqian, I will leave on my own in a while. When there is news, you can send someone to the post to deliver a letter to me."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Wu Lu De said a word hastily, then dragged his robe and rushed out of the house.

Guo Ye was secretly happy for a while, is it really a blessing, the seemingly complicated problem is so simple and easy to solve, buddy is really a god!

Afterwards, he didn't linger in the Prime Minister's Mansion much, and quietly sneaked back to the foreign affairs post, waiting for the good news from Lu Denai.

At the same time, in the Potala Palace, in the bedroom.

Lu Dongzan, Tubo's second chancellor, was sent off by Yu Wenqian in person. Lu Dongzan was really flattered, and he bowed his hands and said goodbye: "Madam Qian, please stay, there is no need to send it off. Please rest assured, madam, any proposals from madam The lower officials all raised their hands in favor of the measures, and Mrs. Dingwei followed suit."

Yu Wenqian pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "Your Excellency, Second Prime Minister, has outstanding abilities. My wife promises you that as long as you wipe out all the stubborn traitors such as Wulu Denai, and help Queen Yunrong to the position of Zanpu, then the Tubo king The position of prime minister must belong to you, Lu Dongzan."

"Thank you Madam for cultivating!"

Lu Dongzan clasped his fists reverently, bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Madam, I will go out of the city to call and contact the leaders of the slave armies. As long as Madam gives an order in the city and when to do something, I will follow you." Leading an army of millions of slaves into the city, punishing traitors, and supporting Queen Yunrong on the throne of Zanpu."

Yu Wenqian hummed, waved her hand casually, and said with a smile: "Then it will be hard work for Mr. Lu Dongzan. If it is fast, it will take one day, and if it is slow, it will be three days. My wife will send someone to pass the order to you outside the city. When the time comes, you will Hearing the sound, rush into the city, kill the traitors and support the new king!"

"Here, the minister will leave!"

Lu Dongzan bowed down and bowed again, facing Yu Wenqian and took more than ten steps back before slowly turning around and leaving.

Looking at Lu Dongzan, who nodded and bowed in reverence to the end, Yu Wenqian still pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was extremely satisfied.

On the contrary, Yun Shang beside Yu Wenqian hummed in a low voice: "Ma'am, this Lu Dongzan really has no integrity at all. Anyway, he is also the second chancellor of Tubo, so he has no integrity and restraint at all. I'm afraid he will treat his mother You don't have such respect for your wife, do you?"
