Most of the Tubo people are stupid, but there are also smart people among them.
Just like the rebels led by Cheng Dabeard, most of them didn't know what they were doing or what stories were waiting for them.
But look, whether it is Zhai Rang, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin and others, are they really that stupid? Not to mention ambitious guys like Li Mi and Wang Shichong.
Therefore, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and Nang Nie is obviously the one with a better mind among the Tubo people.
He understands his situation and knows who to turn to for help.
Cheng Dabeard looked at Nang Nie and said to himself, looking at this guy's appearance, he should be able to live for many more years...
"My good brother, from the day we met, I felt that you were someone I could get along with. If it weren't for our status, I would definitely become a brother with you.
In our place, brothers of the opposite sex can live and die together, so just tell me what you want to do, I'm a rough guy, I can't think of that much."
Look how stupid these words are.
Nang Nie nodded gratefully. If he warmly entertained Cheng Zhijie and his party before because of his status as an envoy from the Tang Dynasty, then now he really needs such a brother to help him.
"I know that the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, but Zilebu is stupid. He led people to attack the Tang Dynasty, which caused blood to be shed and hatred between us.
But he is already dead, and his death was still so humiliating... You see, my brother, I am not Zilebu, but I also showed respect to the Tang Dynasty.
So when I encounter difficulties, can I get help from Datang?"
Cheng Zhijie hit his chest without hesitation and said: "Of course, I'm here just to allow us to communicate in peace? My good brother, what kind of help do you need? Believe me, I can do my best.
You do it.”
What Nang Nie wants is obviously this kind of promise, "Thank you God for sending you to me. I swear to God here that we will be the most loyal friends in the future."
I want you to return to the Tang Dynasty and tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that I am willing to serve him and dedicate the entire highland as a gift to him.
But you also know how critical the current situation is. I may not be able to wait for your reply in Fuqi City. Do you have any good suggestions?"
The connection between border generals and envoys has always been the best source of stories, and of course it is not friendly to Tibet.
During the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were many such heroes along the long border of the Sui Dynasty.
At this time, Cheng Dabeard was not so happy. He felt like a fool. The way he made friends with this person and talked to that person this winter must look stupid to the guy in front of him, right?
We've been together for several months, why don't we think this guy is a kindred spirit?
He surrendered so simply, so similar to those people back then. As his mind was racing, Cheng Dabeard covered his frustration with laughter.
"This is really a wise decision, but have you really thought about it? My brother, I don't know the customs of the Tubo people, but in the Tang Dynasty, people like us can't go back on our word once we make a promise. A gentleman's words
, the eight horses cannot be pulled back, otherwise they will be punished by the gods, and there will be no good ending."
"Believe me, we Tubo people fear the gods far more than you or the people you brought. Every promise we make is under the witness of the gods."
There was a cunning light in Nang Nie's eyes. At this moment, Cheng Dabeard could no longer regard him as a Tubo savage. Savages would not play tricks like this.
Only God knows how credible the promises made by such people are.
Cheng Dabeard, who never trusted anyone, gave this Tibetan man a big X in his heart and put him on the list of things he needed to be careful about.
And in this list, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty tops the list...
"Okay, then I can tell you a few words from my heart."
Nang Nie raised his ears and showed a respectful gesture. For his age, at this moment, the "wisdom" displayed by this Tibetan commander can undoubtedly be called "wisdom" even in the Central Plains.
It sounds like a hero.
Unsurprisingly, Cheng Zhijie straightened up and someone put up a ladder. He never minded climbing up. There were no such thing as good brothers. It was just a matter of who was strong and who was weak, and who asked for help.
"The Tang Dynasty is too far away from here. Even if we go to Liangzhou, it will not take a day or two. I was ordered to send an envoy to Tibet, and I will not return because of you. Otherwise, I cannot bear the anger of His Majesty the Emperor."
Nang Nie nodded, but actually his heart felt cold at first, and fierce thoughts arose. Since you don't agree to help me, what's the point of keeping you?
Fortunately, Cheng Dashu's next words calmed his mind.
"But you have the intention to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. As a friend, I have received your hospitality, so I will naturally help you. I can have someone lead you to Liangzhou.
If you are willing, you can even go to Chang'an to meet the Supreme Being. I think the Supreme Being will be very happy to receive you. After that, the ownership of the highlands will also change because of you. This is a rare achievement in the Tang Dynasty. You will definitely
Get the reward you deserve."
Cheng Dabeard looked at Nang Nie and continued in the most sincere tone: "My good brother, neither you Tubo people nor your gods can imagine how generous the reward from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be.
To be honest, the life you are living now..."
Having said this, Cheng Dabeard shook his head, sighed repeatedly, raised his finger and pointed at the house, "As a commander-in-chief, look at the place where you live, it is not as good as the woodshed where I keep firewood in Chang'an Mansion.
Having said that, don't be angry. My servants are all more comfortable than you. I always hear you talking about the Kingdom of God. If you can go to Chang'an and have an official position, then I think you have gone to the Kingdom of God.
Imagine such a good life, my good brother, with a cloud of beauties, a family full of descendants, and servants surrounding him wherever he goes. To be honest, if I had not been ordered to act, I would not have given up such a good life to come to Tibet.
Look here, you can’t get anything you want, the food isn’t as good as you want, the clothes you wear can’t keep you warm, and there isn’t even a woman you like, what’s there to miss about a place like this?”
I have to say that this was the most wonderful speech Cheng Dabeard had ever given. It moved not only Nang Nie, but also him himself. If he had heard such words on Wagang Mountain, he would have immediately taken the lead.
The kind of person who goes to seek refuge without hesitation.
