Five days later, Songtsan Gampo returned to Tubo. He didn't go back to the capital directly, but to the old capital Shannan Pibo City. Here, he met several messengers from other tribes. These people almost included the most powerful alien race around the Northwest Territory of the Tang Dynasty. "Zanpu suddenly summoned us, what is the matter to discuss?" The representative sent by Tie Le with the nine surnames, the young patriarch of the Bayegu tribe, is named Baye Guzhang, and his age is about the same as Songtsan Gampo. It was this person who spoke at this time. Songtsan Gampo looked at more than a dozen tribal envoys in front of him, and sneered in his heart. Before that, Tubo was the most powerful among all the tribes in the western and northern frontiers of the Tang Dynasty. This point, in the mind of Songtsen Gampo, is hardly controversial.
During the years when he succeeded Zanpu, he continued to use troops abroad and worked hard to govern, and finally integrated Tubo into a real country. Looking at the tribes in front of them, most of them have not even established their own khanate. Undoubtedly, Songtsen Gampo had a mentality of overlooking. In the past, 04, no matter whether it was Tiele or other tribes with the nine surnames, did not interfere with Tubo's well water. Gao Han, the area where Tubo is located, is not something that nomads like them can get their hands on. But everyone knew in their hearts that Tubo had no good intentions towards other tribes. Thousands of years of survival experience have made all tribes accustomed to the law of the jungle. As long as Tubo unifies the plateau, its military front will definitely point directly at these tribes, and there will be absolutely no second result. However, they are not too worried. Because they knew very well in their hearts that no matter how powerful Tubo was, it was the Tang Dynasty who ultimately ruled the land. For thousands of years, En has been so. Huns, Turks, Tubo... No matter how powerful these alien races are, for the dynasties of Zhuxia, they can only be regarded as temporary troubles at best. Where are the invincible Huns in the past? And the Khan of the Eastern Turks was beaten by the Emperor of Tang until he was able to sing and dance. What else do you have in Tubo? Of course these envoys knew about the battle between Tubo and Datang some time ago. Those who are well-informed even know that Datang has sent an army now. In the eyes of everyone, Tubo's good days should not be more than a few days. Songtsan Gampo had a panoramic view of the expressions of these people, and he was extremely contemptuous of these short-sighted tribes.
But when he opened his mouth, he was full of sincerity. "Everyone, I think you all know something about the situation in Tubo recently. I invite you to come today because I want to negotiate a deal with your tribes!" Ba Ye Guzhang sneered, and said: "Since it's a business, Zanpu naturally wants something from us. Then, let's be more direct. How can Tubo need our help? And what can we get?" Barbarians of different races don't have so many twists and turns when speaking. But they are not stupid, they don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. Of course, it is impossible for Songtsan Gampo to rush to help as soon as he opens his mouth. After all, for them, Tubo is the future enemy. But today's Datang, in the eyes of these tribes, has already been regarded as an enemy. After all, most tribes, a large part of their financial resources depend on lying on Datang's body to suck blood. Whether it is robbing caravans with open fire, or doing business with Datang through official channels. There is too little money from robbery, and they feel that they are at a disadvantage in trade. All in all, the land of Zhuxia is so rich, but it is so difficult for them to make some money. Cut off their money, of course they are all enemies. Anyway, whether it is Tubo or Datang, they are not a good thing in their eyes. It couldn't be better if the two sides fight. But if you can get some benefits from it, that's even better. Now, obviously Tubo wants to give them such an opportunity. Therefore, these tribal envoys will be up for grabs, and they plan to see the situation before talking. Songtsan Gampo said with a smile: "Back then, the Eastern and Western Turks joined forces and rushed straight into the confidant of the Tang Dynasty. It was only forty miles away from Chang'an. The Tang Emperor was terrified and signed the Weishui alliance with the Turks. That time, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was almost emptied by the Turks..." After the words fell, the tribal messengers looked at each other in blank dismay. Of course they know about the Weishui alliance. At the beginning, for these alien races, it was a great event. But after only two or three years, Jieli Khan was caught by Li Er and went to dance in Chang'an. In just a few years, for these alien races, it was just a time when warblers flew and grass grew, and cattle and sheep put on a little fat. The Turks, who were once chic, were finally pushed to the ground by the Tang Dynasty in Baling. These alien races are all seen in the eyes and remembered in the heart, which really left a lot of psychological shadow. What does Songtsan Gampo mean by bringing up the old story now? "Tibetan wants to imitate the Turks and drive straight in, approaching Chang'an all the way..." Songtsan Gampo said slowly.
The eyes of the other insufficient messengers immediately lit up. Although Jieli Khan's fate was bleak, it was the closest time that foreign troops came to Chang'an City! Later, many wise men of other races felt sorry for the Turks when they talked about this matter. According to the people of Tang Dynasty, the Weishui alliance was caused by Li Erwang's domineering spirit, which frightened Jieli Khan. Although the Turks claimed everywhere that they had emptied the Tang treasury and obtained countless gold and silver. It's like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed! Not only that, but after just a few months, Jieli Khan took the initiative to pay tribute to Datang with 180 horses, 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep. This is an indisputable fact. Everyone laughed at Jieli Khan for his short-sightedness. Many foreign races believed that if they could make another Weishui alliance, they would definitely open their mouths and bite off a piece of meat from Datang. Songtsan Gampo was well aware of the psychology of these alien races. Tubo is willing to give such an opportunity. Moreover, he also promised that Tubo will take the lead, and others will only need to assist from the side. If the timing is wrong, you can retreat at any time. Under such conditions, these tribal envoys were finally moved. At the moment, they no longer hesitated, and signed a covenant with Tubo. Promise to provide food, grass and horses to the Tubo army in the early stage. At the same time, Songtsen Gampo also promised that these tribes could gather troops around the territory of Tubo. In order to facilitate Tubo to win the first battle, they can use the fastest speed to drive straight into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. This promise makes these messengers feel more at ease. When forming an alliance, Songtsan Gampo specifically pointed to the nearby tombs of Zanpu in the past dynasties, and said with a smile: "The ancestors of the past dynasties are witnesses, so you can rest assured!" In the middle of the night, Songtsan Gampo watched the envoys drive their horses away. Turning around, the warm smile on his face has become extremely cold. Those tribes thought they had seized Tubo's weakness, but they didn't know that they had already put themselves under the tiger's mouth!.
