The joy of the saint who was a concubine in Chang'an City had just ended, and a military report from Longnan immediately broke the festive and peaceful atmosphere: Zanpu of Tubo personally led his troops across the Xikang Kingdom on the grounds that the tributes of bait medicine and all tribes were miserable, and arrived at Jiyu City, the former Bailan Qiang, and was about to conquer the bait medicine and all tribes.

As each other's most important strategic rivals at present, the Tang Dynasty naturally paid close attention to Tubo's every move. As soon as it received the information submitted by Cao Renshi of Longnan, the court quickly began to discuss it.

The so-called bait medicine tribes are a general term including many Western Qiang tribes such as Bailan Qiang, Dangxiang Qiang, etc.

These Western Qiang tribes naturally belonged to the throne forces of the Tang Dynasty in their early years. However, as Tubo invaded Qinghai, the influence of the Tang Dynasty gradually retreated to Longyou. Some of these Western Qiang tribes migrated to the northeast and were placed between the Jiuqu land and the border prefectures and counties in Longyou, while others remained in the old place and were ruled by Tubo.

Now the Zamp of Tubo is conquering the tyrannical tribes in the name of baiting and medicine for tyranny. This should have been Tubo’s internal affairs and has nothing directly to do with the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Jishishan area where his army is stationed is thousands of miles away from the border areas such as Longnan and the Yellow River Jiuqu, which are actually controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and it will not pose any actual border threats and pressures to the Tang Dynasty.

However, of course, things are not as simple as the surface. Although there are many bait tribes living in that realm, they are chaotic and have no powerful organization. They are not worthy of the Tubo Zanpu personally leading his troops to fight. This is similar to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who personally led his troops to fight in the mountain barbarian tribes in the wilderness of Lingnan, which exudes a strange feeling.

Moreover, the bait and medicine tribes mainly operate in the southeast of Jishishan, close to the nine bends of the Yellow River. As for the location where Tubo Zanpu sent troops, it was located in the northwest of Jishishan. The Jiyu City stationed at the present was also the original Bailan Qiang regime bordering Tuyuhun. It can be said that its actions and the target they shouted were simply incompatible.

It was soon possible to draw a conclusion that the Tubo Zamp went out personally this time to solve the problem of the Gar family entrenched in the Haixi region.

"How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? The Tubo king can endure it until now, so he is very cunning."

Although the discussion in the hall was about serious border military strategy issues, the atmosphere was not very serious. Li Tong even had some leisurely jokes about Tubo’s praising.

Hearing the saint say this, the ministers in the hall smiled, and Yao Yuanchong even said: "Tubo's national conditions are profound and he has been ill for a long time. Even if he wants to eliminate stubborn diseases, it is probably not possible in a short time. The king of the country dares not point directly at the source of the disease, but it can be seen that this attack is a forceful move!"

The conflict between the monarch and ministers of Tubo was no longer a secret. The king made this claim, but he could not hide the interests of the people involved. But the reason why he still wanted to do this was nothing more than that the conditions for completely eradicating the Gar family were still not mature enough.

In history, Tubo Zamp's solution to the Gar family was much more efficient. After unifying the situation in the country, he led his troops into the fiefdom of the Gar family in the name of hunting, and took the lead in capturing and killing many of the Gar family's close relatives, and ordered Qinling to come to punish him. Qinling originally wanted to raise troops to fight, but was betrayed by everyone and eventually committed suicide.

But now, Zamp was shocked and planned to fight and solve this problem through force, but she still did not dare to point the finger at the Gar family directly. This means that Zamp's current infiltration of the Gar family's power has not reached the level in history, and some uncertain factors must still be judged through further coercion.

Although Cao Ren's report did not involve further actions of Tubo Zanpu, Li Tong could think that when he arrived at Jiyu City, the next step would be to convey the king's order and call on the army of Qinling's subordinates to gather at Jiyu City, saying that it was to join forces to attack Baiyao tribes, but in fact it would still be necessary to weaken the power of the Gar family.

This kind of political game is inherently complex and dangerous. The reason why Zamp of Tubo cannot solve the Gar family as easily as in history is naturally because it no longer has the original game environment.

Originally, Zanpu's launch was extremely exciting in history. Before the formal attack, it had fully penetrated the forces of the Gar family. It was lightning-proof in one move, so that a Tubo army god like Qinling, who was invincible on the battlefield, eventually fell into the internal struggle without any resistance.

However, now, the conflict between the monarch and ministers in Tubo was exposed too early and intensified too quickly. Especially the betrayal of Ye Ali several years ago, directly introduced Qinling into the core area of ​​the Tubo king's territory, which doubled Zanpu's vigilance against Qinling. Many measures of checks and balances were too fierce. Although it was also successfully isolated the power of the Gar family, it was not conducive to in-depth infiltration and differentiation.

Today, the Gar family is entrenched in Haixi, and always has a good military force and is actively rescuing themselves. Even if Qinling is not integrated enough, his vigilance is full, and he will inevitably be wary of related differentiation methods.

Under such circumstances, who can certainly say that he can defeat Qinling, a beast that has been staring at him? So Zanpu of Tubo had to take risks and throw a stone to ask for directions.

The difference in the game environment between them will not be discussed in detail. The most important thing at the moment is what attitude should the Tang Dynasty take in the process and what should it do to interfere?

"The foreign country sent envoys to the court. There were already matters about everything discussed in Xikang, but the king of the country had no permission to go to Xikang before he agreed. This was to regard our magnanimity as nothing! If we don't have to discuss it, why should we send envoys? I would like to expel the foreign envoys immediately. Before the foreign lord apologizes, please forgive me, the two countries will no longer ask each other!"

Although Tubo's military operations took place outside the Tang Dynasty, if you want to arrive at Jishi Mountain from its royal city, you must go through Xikang Kingdom.

So after a little pondering, Liu Youqiu stood up and said, "Since the foreign country does not act with courtesy, the Tang Dynasty does not need to treat the envoys with courtesy! In addition to expelling the envoys from foreign countries, the prefectures and counties along the way no longer provide food and shelter. Only Yazhou Guancheng expels the envoys from within a specified period of time!"

Exporting the envoys of the British were originally a matter of course, but Liu Youqiu had added such conditions, which undoubtedly means that the official announcement that the Tang Dynasty court no longer retained the diplomatic immunity of these envoys and no longer provided them with protection. Whether they were attacked by tigers and wolves or assassinated by evil people, the Tang Dynasty no longer interfered in all matters, but only allowed them to get out of the territory of the Tang Dynasty within the prescribed time.

The one who has the most motive to assassinate the French envoys at the moment is naturally the Gar family, which has been targeted by the military. If the French envoys die in the assassination of the Gar family, it will undoubtedly make the conflict between them even more irreconcilable.

Li Tong agreed with Liu Youqiu's proposal. Although the life and death of several envoys could not affect the final result of the struggle for power among major powers, it was a relief.

However, he didn't think that the Gar family had a strong intention to assassinate the Fan Envoy. He might have had such an idea before, which was to buy himself a certain amount of time, but now Zanpu has officially taken action. If people are arranged to assassinate, it will no longer have much significance and will only intensify the subsequent coercion rhythm of the country.

Moreover, although the Gar family and Zamp are in a state of power, they may not be able to make up their minds to completely separate from Tubo before the real death. After all, the Gar family's roots are still in Tubo, and it is difficult for such a large clan to be as decisive as Ye Ali when considering the future prospects of the family.

In history, just one year before Zanpu took action, Qinling fantasized about being able to fight for the family's survival and development through foreign wars. He defeated Wang Xiaojie in Suluhan Mountain in the Nine Curves of the Yellow River, but in return, the Gar family was uprooted in Tubo. If it were not for the protection of the Tang Dynasty, they would have almost no seedlings left.

Such a mentality is not stupid, but mainly comes from the sense of identity in the heart. Not to mention whether Qin Ling is ignorant or not, when Li Tong came to this world, he was still in danger, but when he thought of the glory achieved by the Tang Dynasty in this time and space, he was still excited and excited, hoping that he could join in and make his own contribution.

At least half of the glory of Tubo comes from the successive efforts of Lu Dongzan and his son, so when facing a complete separation, they will inevitably hesitate. This is a common human nature, even Qinling, the Tubo war god who is like a god on the battlefield, cannot be completely abandoned. This feeling is not something that Ye Ali, a second generation of Power who is only hindering the current situation based on his ancestors.

In fact, even to this day, it is very likely that the members of the Gar family still do not think that Zanpu will kill all their entire family and still have the idea of ​​being miserable. After all, the rise of the Gar family is closely related to the growth of Tubo, which makes them feel that they are not distinguished from each other.

But even without the foreshadowing of historical knowledge, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty alone, Li Tong can assert that the Tubo Zampu would never allow the Gar family to continue to exist in Tubo's land in any form.

Because power is always a pyramid structure, the more you are at the top, the more you refuse to share it with others. Even if the so-called democratic rule in later generations is just a compromise that is insufficient to completely eliminate the other party. As long as there is any possibility of eliminating the opponent, those in power will try tirelessly.

So after Liu Youqiu finished speaking, Li Tong thought for a moment and waved his hand and said, "The survival of his life and death is my scabies. The desire to survive can touch the heavens. If people don't love life, I will not save them. The good and evil of the general trend cannot be determined by a single household. It is a life or life, and it cares about one wish!"

It may be a bit cruel to say this, but the life and death of the Gar family is indeed not within Li Tong's first vision. The world is like chess. Since as a chess piece, you must have the awareness of being a chess piece. If you want to survive, you must reflect your own value.
