Lu Dongzan stared blankly at the word "water" that gradually disappeared on the table as the water evaporated.
I felt that compared to Cheng Sanlang, the brain of myself, the most intelligent person in Tibet, seemed to be a bit inadequate.
At this moment, Qin Ling ran into Zhenguan Hall from outside, holding an ice cube the size of his finger.
"Apa, the ice is coming..."
Lu Dongzan turned his head stiffly and looked at his son whose nose was red from the cold. His eyes turned red and he forced a smile towards Qin Ling.
"No need, I have already lost as a father."
"???" Qin Ling looked at Cheng Sanlang and then his father with disbelief on his face. Why did this game make him more desperate than before?
Cheng Sanlang took the tea bowl and walked up to Chu Suiliang, who had a dark face, and put the tea bowl on his desk.
Just as he turned around to leave, he thought about it and turned around again, admonishing Chu Suiliang earnestly.
"Drink it quickly, your tea is almost cold."
"!!!" Chu Suiliang's whole body almost burst into tears. He lowered his head and glanced at the cup of tea that Cheng Sanlang had just poked around with his fingers.
Seeing Lu Suiliang's expression of anger that made his limbs cold and his face dark and red, a group of colleagues around him quickly advised him.
"Scholar Chu, there is no need to be like this. Now is not the time to argue with this kid."
"Scholar Chu, please calm down and find a way to deal with this beast later. Just be patient for now."
"Yeah, just be patient and it will pass..."
Listening to this won't help my mood, it will only make me feel comforting.
Chu Suiliang really wanted to vent his anger by saying some trash talk in Guanzhong, Gan!
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but wipe his face subconsciously after seeing this scene. You can't say that Cheng Sanlang deliberately targeted him, but you can't rule out that this guy was deliberately taking revenge on Chu Suiliang.
That's all. As a monarch who is best at mediating conflicts among his ministers, sometimes he has to make peace when he needs to be reconciled, and he has to pretend to be deaf and dumb when he needs to.
Turning around and standing in front of Lu Dongzan, Cheng Sanlang raised his chin towards Lu Dongzan with confidence.
"Please ask Ambassador Lu to come up with a question. Cheng can't wait to start a new challenge."
Lu Dongzan looked at the eager Cheng Sanlang in front of him. In the first battle, he had already tested Cheng Sanlang's agile response ability, which was probably no less than his own.
The second round showed that Cheng Sanlang's mind was very flexible and he did not stick to formalities.
Such an opponent is quite difficult to deal with. Lu Dongzan, the first wise man in Tubo, took a deep breath, but facing such an opponent would only make him excited.
Over the years, no one has been able to beat me in these aspects, and today I finally have a decent opponent.
In this case, Lu Dongzan showed a childish smile.
"My second question is about lambs looking for relatives. Two lambs and fifty ewes need to be prepared.
And the mother of these two lambs is hidden among these fifty ewes..."
"The ewes are held by people, and as for the lambs, a certain person and Xiao Cheng Taibao each hold one, and they are not allowed to come within three feet of the ewes.
Whoever can find the mother of the lamb first will be victorious, okay?"
#####
After hearing this, all the civil and military personnel of the Tang Dynasty, who were originally smiling, could not help but froze.
Even Li Shimin, who saw Cheng Sanlang winning two battles in a row, couldn't help but look slightly grim.
Although Cheng Sanlang is a demon moth with quick reactions and extraordinary intelligence.
However, he has never done any animal husbandry work. Well, of course he often manipulates lambs with a knife.
But now, Tubo people like Lu Dongzan, who live in half-farming and half-grazing land, must be better at finding sheep with lambs.
Before Li Shimin opened his mouth, Cheng Sanlang spoke bravely.
"Of course there is no problem, but if we want to find so many ewes, I'm afraid we have to ask His Majesty to take action."
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Cheng Sanlang and saw that this boy had no courage or any timidity, but he looked eager to try.
I can't help but wonder, is it possible? Is there any good way he can do it?
Come on, after all, this kid has won two battles in a row, it doesn't matter even if he loses one.
If he loses once, maybe it can stimulate this kid's fighting spirit.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and gave instructions.
"In that case, Zhao Kun, send someone quickly to fetch fifty ewes and two lambs."
Then, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wandered towards the back of the imperial cabinet, and all the ministers and ministers also returned to their respective positions, discussing in low voices how to let the little lamb find its mother as soon as possible.
sheep.
However, as an important official of the Tang Dynasty who was not involved in animal husbandry, he thought hard for a long time and could not think of a solution.
However, Lu Dongzan was very confident and used what he was good at to defeat the enemy. He might make others suffer, but only victory was the final result.
Even if it might have some impact on your own reputation, so what?
Is it better than losing this gambling battle, failing to fulfill the great trust of the king, being laughed at by others, and turning back to Tibet in despair?
What's more, Ludongzan knew very well the king he served, Songtsen Gampo, who was only twenty-five years old.
The leader of the country is a leader who knows how to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and at the same time is cunning and resourceful.
It was precisely because of his wise decision that Tubo surpassed Xiangxiong and became the overlord on the plateau today.
Xiangxiong, who has been humiliated and can only serve as a vassal of the Tubo Kingdom, believes that it will not take too long before he will be brought under the rule of the monarch.
The wily and scheming ruler's reputation in the country is truly unparalleled. However, the ruler has an obvious shortcoming.
That is, he will never consider friendship with anyone he considers useless.
Just like his predecessor Shang Nang, after the old king's violent death, he was loyal and conscientious to the then young king.
In the end, the young king grew up vigorously, surrounded by him and a group of loyal ministers.
Shang Nang also made great achievements and became the prime minister of Tubo.
Over the years, he has been marching east and west for the king of Tibet to deal with the forces and tribes on the plateau who are unwilling to obey the orders of the king of Tubo.
He has made great achievements, but the problem is that such an important Tibetan official whose achievements are shining brightly, is inferior to one person and is superior to ten thousand people.
Because of his plan to attack Shuzhong openly and steal Yaozhou, it was defeated by the Tang Dynasty. Not only did he lose the city of Jianchuan, he also lost thousands of elites.
