Another advantage of moving the capital is that it can eliminate the influence of those old nobles.
Many of the old nobles who rebelled before surrendered later. For the stability of Tubo, he did not attack those people.
After moving the capital logically, those old aristocrats will have no foundation and can eliminate internal hidden dangers.
"My lord, Luoxie is indeed a good place. There are plains and fertile land everywhere. Moving there can allow more people to engage in farming. But those old nobles will not agree, even those tribes that have always supported the lord. I will object." Lu Dongzan said.
Before Tubo was actually a tribe on the plateau, it was not a real country until Songtsen Gampo ruled the plateau.
But Tubo is mountainous, and most places live by grazing, and only some plain areas are engaged in farming.
However, the original capital of Tubo was surrounded by mountainous areas, and those tribes were used to grazing, so they couldn't accept that they were suddenly asked to come to the plains to engage in farming.
You must know that many of these tribes supported Songtsen Gampo from the very beginning, otherwise Songtsen Gampo would not have dominated the plateau so quickly.
If even these people start to oppose Songtsen Gampo, then Tibet is likely to fall into civil strife.
"National teachers don't worry, I am sure to convince them." Songtsan Gampo said confidently.
Although he is the No.30 third Zanpu of Tubo, he is actually the founding king of the Tubo Dynasty. He has this confidence.
"I hope the king will be more gentle. If it really doesn't work, the matter of moving the capital can be postponed." Lu Dongzan said with some concern.
The persuasion Songtsan Gampo talked about is naturally impossible to persuade with just a few words, and it needs to add other means, and even kill a few chickens to frighten it.
He was afraid that Songtsan Gampo's methods would be too violent, causing more people to resist, and Tubo would fall into civil strife again.
"National teacher, don't worry, I know it well." Songtsan Gampo said indifferently.
Lu Dong sighed in admiration, Songtsen Gampo obviously did not listen to his words.
But he knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he didn't continue to say anything.
I can only persuade you when the time comes.
……
"How is it? Did Tubo agree to withdraw troops?" Although Hou Junji was asking, his tone was very certain, as if he was very sure that Tubo would withdraw troops.
Deng Zhuo said with a smile: "Fortunately, Tubo has already agreed, as long as Tuyuhun delivers what he promised, Tubo will withdraw immediately."
"In that case, you arrange someone to go to Tuyuhun, and tell them to send the things they agreed to as soon as possible." Hou Junji said.
"General, let's go." Deng Zhuo volunteered.
Hou Junji waved his hand and said, "You have worked hard all the way, you should take a good rest. This time it's just a message, you don't need to go in person."
"Thank you General for your understanding." Deng Zhuo did not continue to insist.
Tuyuhun is eager for Tubo to retreat now, knowing that Tubo agrees to retreat, he will send the things over immediately without urging him.
"General, one of my subordinates is unclear. The general seems to know the situation of Tubo very well, and knows that Tubo will definitely retreat." Deng Zhuo said with some doubts.
"When I was about to arrive in Songzhou, His Majesty sent someone to send some information. The information showed that there were many old nobles in Tubo who were ready to move after Songtsan Gampo left Tubo. Songtsan Gambo must know this, but he felt very Tuyuhun will be destroyed soon, so there is no retreat, and Tang sent troops, which also means that Tubo cannot annex Tuyuhun in a short time, Songtsan Gampo is worried that the backyard will catch fire, so naturally he will not continue." Hou Junji said.
At the beginning, the people from Baiqi sent him information, and when he read the information, he was shocked.
Because of altitude sickness, since ancient times, the Central Plains has known very little about intelligence on the plateau.
And Baiqi knew so well about Tubo, which means that Li Shimin had already deployed his people to go deep into the plateau.
Then Hou Junji felt a burst of fear, Li Shimin had such a clear grasp of the plateau's information, so what about Chang'an?
Thinking of the letter he wrote before he left Chang'an, Hou Junji turned pale.
If Li Shimin finds out, his Hou family will be over.
It's just that it's too late to send someone back at this time, Hou Junji can only hope that Hou De's actions are relatively secretive, and Baiqi has not discovered it.
The Baiqi in the Tang Dynasty was somewhat similar to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, both of which were responsible for the guard of honor and safety of the emperor when he traveled.
The difference is that the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty gave them the right to investigate and interrogate those heroes because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to attack those heroes.
In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to frighten all officials, Zhu Yuanzhang once joked on the spot an official's private conversation with a concubine.
But none of the officials could laugh.
The official's conversation with the concubine must be relatively private, so Jin Yiwei can overhear it, so it can be seen that there is a Jin Yiwei in the official's family.
What about them?
And although these officials suspected that there were people placed by Jin Yiwei at home, they didn't dare to investigate. If they did, wouldn't it mean that they had ghosts in their hearts?
In this way, those officials acted more carefully and did not dare to act recklessly.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, he also began to restrict the rights of Jinyiwei. After Zhu Dijing Nan ascended the throne, in order to track down the whereabouts of Jianwen Yudang and Jianwen Emperor, he restored his previous rights again.
It can be said that Jin Yiwei is the sword in the hands of the emperor, and when the emperor needs it, he will let the sword out of its sheath.
The power of Baiqi is much smaller than that of Jinyiwei, and the information collected will only be reported to Li Shimin.
Baiqi must have collected a lot of information from officials, but Li Shimin has never done anything with this information, so Baiguan doesn't know Baiqi well, so naturally he won't be afraid.
Hou Junji noticed the tip of Baiqi's iceberg, and was terrified. He didn't intend to stay here any longer. He thought about returning to Chang'an after Tubo retreated, to see if Li Shimin found out what he had done.
……
After the banquet was over, Lin Xuan returned to the barracks and asked Xue Rengui and others to come over.
"See the general." Everyone saluted.
Lin Xuan waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, let's all sit down."
After everyone sat down, Lin Xuan asked, "Did Xue Yantuo's people come to make trouble after camping?"
"Back to the general, no one came to provoke him." Xue Rengui said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Remember to manage the soldiers and not leave the camp."
Most of these soldiers are from the north. The north has been plundered by nomadic clans since ancient times, and it can be described as a bloody feud.
There must be many soldiers whose family members died at the hands of the Turks. If they are not restrained, it is likely to cause chaos.
Now Xue Yantuo is still needed to consume the strength of the Western Turks, so there will be no problems.
"General, the subordinates have already been notified. With Wu as a unit, we will supervise each other and there will be no problems." Xue Rengui said.
He knew the overall plan, so he naturally understood that there should be no conflict with Xue Yantuo at this time.
"Well, we did a good job, but we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. If someone comes to provoke you, don't be polite and clean it up." Lin Xuan said.
