On the distant Western Plateau, towering palaces stand on the plateau.

The young Songtsen Gampo looked at the specific content of the negotiations with the Tang Dynasty, which was sent back by Lu Dongzan, and frowned.

He could not have imagined that the Tang Dynasty would be so firm.

And the content of the negotiations turned out to be like this.

On the surface, it seems that the benefits of the negotiations were given to him.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are all pitfalls in it.

What does it mean to send free supplies to them Tubo?

What the Tang Dynasty gave, how much it gave, and who it gave, isn’t it all decided by their Tang Dynasty?

This clearly wanted to separate the upper nobles and lower people within Tubo and intensify the internal conflicts between Tubo.

If the supplies were given were sufficient, the upper nobles would leave some of the leftovers for the lower Tubo people.

But what if the Tang Dynasty wanted to make trouble here?

There are very few things to give, and the price of the mutual market is increased.

He was unable to afford the supplies of the Tang Dynasty at all, so wouldn’t it be that the Tubo people suddenly became chaotic?

Also, build a cement road for Tubo to make some cities?

Isn’t this equivalent to actively putting one’s head on the swords of the Tang Dynasty?

If the Tang Dynasty suddenly attacks, who can resist it?

Songzan Gampo didn't know how Lu Dongzan agreed to such conditions.

"Sir Zanpu, how do you say Lu Dongzan?" asked Tubo Dalun and Songtsen Gampo.

The Tubo Dalun is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

"However, I don't know how he negotiated with Tang State. What are these? Take a look at it yourself." Songtsen Gampo rebuked coldly, and the letter in his hand was thrown directly to the ground.

Tubo Dalun quickly picked it up and looked at it with a letter in his hand.

"Mr. Zanpu, at first glance, these conditions seem to be fine, but think about it..." Tubo Dalun shook his head, and his face showed a sense of dismay.

Now Tubo is in a time of shortage of food and food.

Without food and salt, they were sent over, and Tubo would likely collapse from within.

Songtsen Gampo had thought about it and went straight to the Tang Dynasty to kill the death.

But the scout came to news that Niu Jinda ordered the Tang army to plant thousands of sky-bombing cannons on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

This kind of weapon against the will of heaven made Songtsen Gampo's heart twitch.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of such things, the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers would have all died there.

Why was the city taken back by the Tang army?

"Zhao Chen!" Songzan Gumbu muttered Zhao Chen's name.

As early as the last time when Lu Dongzan returned to Tubo from Chang'an, he told him that a young man named Zhao Chen appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

Very capable.

But at that time, Songtsen Gampo didn't take Zhao Chen to heart at all.

There are so many people in the Tang Kingdom, so it is normal to have a few more powerful people.

Moreover, the competition within the Tang Dynasty was already fierce, and maybe in a few days, the person named Zhao Chen would disappear.

But what Songtsen Gampo could not have imagined was that Zhao Chen appeared again in the battle of Songzhou with the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang army, who was clearly at the end of the road, suddenly created a bombing cannon.

He directly took back the solid Songzhou City they occupied.

In that battle, Tubo suffered nearly 20,000 people.

For a moment, Songtsen Gampo was stunned.

Later I learned that such a terrible killing weapon as the Sky Cannon was actually made by Zhao Chen.

That time, Songtsen Gampo kept Zhao Chen's name firmly in his heart.

The news that Lu Dongzan just passed back clearly stated that the negotiator sent by the Tang Dynasty this time was Zhao Chen.

Songtsen Gampo has never hated anyone so much.

It has even reached the point where it must be killed.

"Lord Zanpu, this Zhao Chen is really strange. The news from us seemed to suddenly appear in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was better to Zhao Chen than to his own son, so many people were rumoring that Zhao Chen was the emperor's son."

"And because Zhao Chen and Li Chengqian are average, there are rumors that Zhao Chen should be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"It was only when something happened back then that it was what it is now!" said Tubo Dalun slowly.

"Is the news true?" Songtsen Gampo immediately became interested.

He wanted to kill Zhao Chen.

But he had no choice.

Therefore, he had to rely on the power within the Tang Dynasty.

Just like Zhao Chen wanted him to have civil strife in Tubo.

"There is news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had previously recognised his relatives with Zhao Chen in front of his ministers, but the result did not prove that Zhao Chen was the emperor's son."

"Of course, it cannot prove that he is not!" said Tubo Dalun slowly.

After all, he himself didn't know what the relationship between Zhao Chen and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was like.

"Transfer the news and let the secret spies lurking in various parts of the Tang Dynasty spread the news that Zhao Chen is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"It is said that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is preparing to abolish Li Chengqian and change Zhao Chen to the crown prince." Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice, his face full of sharpness.

This time, he must kill Zhao Chen.

Otherwise, who would know that Zhao Chen would cause trouble for him in the future.

The best way to attack the enemy is not to attack them from the outside, but from the inside!

Li Chengqian, the prince who had been the seventeenth year of the Tang Dynasty, was the best chess piece to deal with Zhao Chen.

"But last time I fell into blood and recognized my relatives..." Tubo Dalun was worried that Li Chengqian and the others would not believe it.

"Just just do this, Zhao Chen's performance this year is too dazzling. Li Chengqian is nothing in front of him."

"So, as long as this news spreads, someone will be unable to help it!" Songtsen Gampo explained and waved to Tubo Dalun.

This time, he will kill Zhao Chen.

As for this negotiation condition...

Now, we can only take one step at a time!

...

Two months later.

In the village where Zhao Chen’s hometown in Wannian County is located.

Early this morning, the village chief sent someone over and said that there were many small locusts in the south of the village.

The tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese raised in the village in advance have really wiped out the locusts.

But the village chief was worried that if there were more and more locusts, something big would happen.

"Brother Zhao, the village chief is worried that the number of locusts is increasing, and the village may not have prepared enough." Villager Uncle Li said to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen has already prepared in advance to prevent locust plagues.

Why are there so many locusts appearing now?

It has not rained in most parts of the Tang Dynasty for more than a month.

The continuous high temperatures not only make people feel hot, but also make locust eggs hatch very quickly.

"I guess something happened elsewhere. Uncle Li, go back and tell the village chief and the others that it's okay, so they don't have to worry. Remember to use the method I gave to you before." Zhao Chen and Uncle Li said.

Uncle Li nodded and left the county government with some concern.

This is a locust plague, a disaster brought by heaven.

Can these people withstand God's will?

As soon as Uncle Li left, Wei Zheng immediately came in.
