As Li Mingda said in advance, the peace talks between Songtsen Gampo and the Dalai Lama did not bring them much benefit. Tubo, which seemed to be calm, was actually secretly turbulent and full of contradictions, which brought them great troubles.

A lot of troubles have been laid in the future.

The two groups negotiated for a union. Both parties negotiated areas where there were previous disputes. The content of their peace talks was rich and detailed, and they even talked about the specific time. However, the real issues were ignored by them. They did not take into account the parties and the place of residence.

The wishes and needs of his subordinates and supporters are just blindly pursued for terms that he thinks are advantageous.

They know how much loss will be caused to those supporters by hastily abandoning a certain area without understanding the local conditions.

The good land they had cultivated was given to their opponents.

The two sides have been fighting for many years and want to make peace with each other.

Watching the fertile land that he fought so hard to capture be handed back to him

As we all know, except for Li Mingda who produced a lot of high-yielding crops during this era, the barren region of Tubo was not rich in products. The best farming conditions were found in the area bordering Sichuan.

With the support of Li Mingda's black technology, the Tang Dynasty attacked all the way from Sichuan and captured the entire fertile area bordering Tubo and Sichuan. Tall fortresses, strong armors, sharp horizontal knives and fierce Tang warriors

Defended the Tibetan counterattack and completely drove them out of this area.

Later, the small-scale mass production of reinforced concrete made the fortress here bigger and stronger, and more soldiers were stationed there.

They originally thought that they could send troops from Tuyuhun to attack the Tang Dynasty to let them see how powerful Tubo was, and then talk about taking back that land. However, the combat power of the Tang Dynasty far exceeded their imagination, and Li Mingda was more difficult to deal with than Li Shimin.

The heavy defeat brought Songtsen Gampo's strength to its lowest point and gave the restless religious forces a chance to make a comeback.

Performed constantly on the land of Tubo

With the arrival of the harvest season, many areas in Tubo have shown signs of food shortages. They have relied on their last glimmer of hope to survive until now.

However, the terms of the peace talks did allow them to leave. Seeing that the food they had planted was about to be harvested, their original hope was shattered.

Everyone knows that leaving means you may starve to death, and if you don't leave, you may also be killed.

They want to ask in their hearts

Why?

Why?

You told me that the food I grew myself does not belong to me and must be given to the enemies who kill my relatives, friends, and friends.

Thinking about those people eating food for nothing, mocking their own incompetence, and even saying that they were drinking wine and eating meat and laughing happily when they were about to starve to death, a nameless anger was about to burst out in their hearts.

A gathering place for certain Dalai Lama forces in Tubo

Anger has begun to break through their last sanity.

Either way, you're going to die, why not try and fight?

"I don't want to leave, this is the food I planted"

"The Dalai Lama has nothing to discuss with them, so we must leave."

"If we leave, what will we eat? You have to know that the entire tribe does not have much food, and it is even said that they will not survive the winter."

"This is an order from my lord. They promised that they would compensate us with food."

"Is it possible? We have been fighting with them for how many years, and how many of our brothers and sisters have died. If you are asked to hand over food to the enemy, will you give it to me, my brother?"

The person in question pondered for a long time and then shook his head: "No, not only will I not give it, but I will also watch them starve to death in front of me, for the sake of my dead family members."

"So, do you still think the other party will give it to us?"

"No, we won't leave"

"This is my brother, the adults' peace talks are their business, and surviving is what we should do."

"My smart brother, what do you think you should do if your superiors urge you?"

"Just delay the time. As long as the food is harvested, we will worry about the rest."

"OK"

Opposite them, people who were already greedy for the soon-to-ripen grain crowded together.

"Why don't those people leave?"

"Didn't you tell them to get out?"

"I think I probably want these grains."

"Let them go, naturally they won't do it. In fact, I still think it would be better if we take advantage of the opportunity to kill them all and seize their belongings."

"My lord has already negotiated peace. You are not allowed to mess with Sanchi."

"Why do adults care about these little things of ours? Besides, what if they don't leave? Without this food, many people will starve to death in the winter."

"Sanchi is right, we will starve to death"

"You always have to find an excuse to do something"

Sanji pointed to the other party's residence with a sullen face: "Isn't that the reason why they didn't leave?"

Another disputed area

Internal disputes between the two tribes are also taking place.

"Why should we leave? Our tribe fought hard to conquer this land."

"Yes, how many of our tribesmen have died for this land?"

"The food in this land is about to mature. So many people have died and there is no harvest at all. Are we going to starve to death if we go back?"

"Master Patriarch, what do you say?"

Looking at the red eyes of his people, Duoji knew that if he went against the wishes of everyone, he himself might not survive this winter, in order to survive for the sake of his tribe.

"We have a lot of wolves in Tubo, and the people living there are scattered. The messenger may not find us for a while. As for the peace talks, our tribe doesn't know about it yet, right?"

When his clan leader accepted him like this, the people below him immediately understood.

"Yes, there are quite a few wolves in Tubo"

"He also attacked our messenger"

"In addition, our place is remote and it is difficult to find a messenger."

"They must have forgotten us."

"That's it"

Opposite of them

"Why haven't those bastards across the street left yet?"

"The people who stole our farmland and killed our people will return our land after the peace talks are over."

"It's not like you want to hang around and not leave, right?"

"If they dare, it is against the wishes of the adults."

"If it were you, and the land you grabbed was about to ripen again, would you let me go when the food was about to mature again? Don't forget that our small tribes don't have much food, and they won't be able to sustain the second year's harvest."

"What should we do?"

"If the other party refuses to leave, then we will send them to see the gods. We can't get our own land back with two mouths. Only by relying on our own hands can we get the food we survive. This is what we

The tribe’s way of survival.”

"We understand, follow the instructions of the patriarch"

This situation is not unique in Tubo

The harvest wind blows

Seeing that their enemy has not moved yet, they all know in their hearts what the other party wants to do.

One night, before harvest

The starry night sky did not bring peace to people like them.

In the name of living
