The conditions of Ludong Chan and Sangji are almost the same.

Now Lin Dong was curious about how Li Mingda made a decision.

Lin Dong looked at the dragon chair

Li Mingda rubbed his chin

This is the signature move of Emperor Xianyu when he is thinking about a problem.

A little bit

"I think your two families are sincere, so why not do this? In the spring of next year, I will send an army to supervise you and your two families will have a decisive battle. The winner will keep his wealth and will receive a hereditary title of vassal king."

"As for those who are defeated, as the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Then go to hell to repent. That's it."

Before Lu Dongzan could say anything, Li Mingda waved his hand: "Come with two guards and take Lu Dongzan with them to prevent the two envoys from fighting."

After saying that, Li Mingda stood up and walked down the Danbi, the steps where the dragon chair was placed, and waved to Murong Xue in the corner, beckoning her to come and eat melon together.

Behind the screen of the side door

Next to the small charcoal stove, there is a half-drawn watermelon on a basin, with some ice cubes underneath. The ice cubes are smoking cold, and there are many water droplets on the watermelon.

If ordinary people eat iced watermelon this season, they will most likely get diarrhea, except for those with a steely stomach like Li Mingda.

sitting on a small bench

Hold him up and half-pull the watermelon

pick up the spoon

Dig out a piece

(￣～￣) chew

The taste is okay

Murong Xue hugged her little half and came closer: "Gouzi, you were so domineering just now, my little heart was pounding."

(＾－＾)＞

"I've been so domineering for more than a day or two. Let's make an agreement first. You're not allowed to come and snatch mine after you've finished eating."

"That's natural. How could I, Murong Xue, snatch it from you?"

Then when Li Mingda wasn't paying attention, he poached a large piece of it.

(￣～￣) chew

He gave Murong Xue a roll of his eyes and knew what she would do.

Li Mingda and Murong Xue eat melon

Lin Dong ran over from her seat and squatted aside. Her stomach and intestines could not bear the cold food in this season. She could only watch and swallow: "I envy you who can eat cold food in this season."

Wu Ye came over. Li Mingda's domineering attitude just now made her excited: "Your Majesty, you were so handsome just now."

o(n_n)o~

Give Lin Dong and Wu a room-temperature dish, and the four of them eat and chat.

"Gouzi, do you think Lu Dongzan and Sangji will comply with the contract?"

(￣～￣) chew

"Yeah, well, well, it depends on how much pressure we put on them. If we ignore them, this signed piece of paper will be the same as the butt wipes in the toilet."

Lin Dong raised his paw and asked Li Mingda: "What if the pressure is high enough?"

“It’s no different than the paper in the toilet.”

Lin Dong didn't understand what it meant.

Li Mingda explained to them: "Actually, the thing is like this, if you don't put pressure on them, just use it and throw it away like toilet paper. They won't care about it before."

What on earth is there."

Wu raised his paw: "What about the second explanation?"

Li Mingda took two mouthfuls of melon and continued: "It's also the butt-wiping paper in the toilet. If you don't admit it after wiping it, I'll slap it on your face. Not only will I disgust you, but I'll also humiliate you. Then you

If you don't behave honestly, you'll be kicked into the pit."

(⊙o⊙)Oh

Σ(°△°

Lin Dong and Wu were stunned.

Murong Xue rolled her eyes and said to the two of them: "Look at how you have never seen the world. Do we have this kind of relationship between us and Tubo? Enemies, will they really surrender this piece of paper if you show any slightest dissatisfaction?"

Lin Dong Xia Xia gave a thumbs up: "He is truly worthy of being the Mingzun Saint Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He sees things thoroughly. So what should we do next?"

Holding the watermelon, scooping out two spoons, eating and talking

"This is a simple matter. From now on, we will actively transport food to the garrison on the plateau and send combat personnel. We will launch an offensive in the spring of next year to seize the last food producing area of ​​Tibet in one fell swoop and force them to fight decisively."

"The farming on the plateau started later than ours. It does not affect the farming in Sichuan. As for Tuyuhun, most of them are nomadic and are not affected by farming. I leave the cavalry and horses to you, Xiaobai."

Li Mingda gave this task to Murong Xue without explaining his intention, but Murong Xue knew in his heart that he meant to contact Murong Yanyi to prepare him to raise troops to participate in the final war, paving the way for Murong Yanyi to join the Tang Dynasty.

For an enemy wanted by the Tang Dynasty, it is best to have a reversal of the plot if he wants to return smoothly. He can turn back from the brink, help the Tang Dynasty defeat the enemy country and wash away his original charges, and be honored as a prince.

"Okay, I understand. The issue of war horses has been left to me. Regarding the 20,000 people who went to Bangzi Country to commit trouble last time, will you take them with you this time?"

Last time you went to Bangzi Country?

Li Mingda turned back to those who stood by and watched the Holy Knights annihilate the rebellious Turks.

"Think about it for yourself, what is the effect of punishment during this period of time?"

"Without the orders from trade in the Central Plains region, their former affluent life is naturally gone. Food is very scarce and cannot be snatched. They have managed to survive by selling some cattle and sheep at low prices until now, which looks about the same."

As she spoke, Murong Xue had a lot of resentment on her face. The 20,000 elite men she had pulled out with her own hands were caught by her at the critical moment. Murong Xue, the leader, did not forgive them at all. The tribe received the punishment they deserved. This is

Not only did they not resist and cause trouble according to the rules of the grassland nomadic tribes, but they believed it was the right thing to do.

This is the reason why new rebellions will appear in the grassland within a few years after the victory of the war between the Central Plains dynasty and the grassland tribes. To sum up, it is because of the strange cultural customs. The grassland tribes pay attention to the survival of the fittest. The strong will rule the weak, and punishment is necessary.

If you make wrong decisions without being punished, most of them will not think that you are kind, but that you are not strong enough.

"Let's just take them to a fight and see how things go. There will be punishments and rewards, so carrots and sticks must be used together."

“Great”

In Tai Chi Hall

Fang Xuanling looked at where Murong Xue, Wu and Lin Dong went and knew what Li Mingda and the others were doing.

Eat something

There’s never a shortage of snacks

In front of him, eight imperial guards were pressing down Lu Dongzan and Sanji, looking at the unconditional surrender contract.

There are many clauses above, involving the military, government, civilians, and livelihood, covering almost all institutions and life-related things in the complete country.

Don’t look at the terms and conditions

The core content is just a few words: Surrender and listen to dad's arrangements.

Lu Dongzan and Sangji were not clear about this situation, so they began to read and ask questions one by one, and Fang Xuanling explained them one by one.

Where Lu Dongzan and Sangji thought it was unreasonable, Fang Xuanling came up with the last point: if there were any undetailed details, Datang would decide based on the situation.

After comparing for most of the day, Lu Dongzan and Sangji signed the unconditional surrender document. The two were then escorted back to the embassy. The next day, the Tang Dynasty announced that Tubo would surrender unconditionally, and they were also arrested together at the same time.

Sent back to Tibet.
