Li Longji enthusiastically pulled Pei Min to sit down.

Pei Min looked at Li Longji suspiciously, wondering what happened to the Li family Sanlang, so excited.

Li Longji said with some joy: "Jingyuan has vented me this time, and he has beaten Tubo into a frightened bird."

Pei Min looked at Li Longji in confusion, wondering what he meant. He thought of it and asked solemnly: "Did Long Langchi, the envoy of Tubo, make any request?"

Li Longji clapped his legs and said, "It's not a request, it's a begging. Long Langchi comes here and he almost doesn't have any shame, and there is no dignity of a great power. Jingyuan's battle broke their backbone."

Pei Min looked at the happy Li Longji, but couldn't laugh.

In his memory, Tubo was not so unbeaten. They also repaired Wang Zhongsi and Geshuhan very miserably, but they still stubbornly took advantage of the situation and became an existence that attracted the attention of both the Tang Empire and the Arab Empire.

During that period, Tubo was as strong as the Third Reich, and his military strength was even higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, and he fought fiercely with the Arab Empire in the Western Regions.

In Pei Min's eyes, Tubo will always be one of the enemies that the Tang Dynasty cannot be underestimated.

A battle broke the backbone of Tubo?

Pei Min didn't believe it, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Tubo is not as weak as you imagined. It is because Zanpu destroyed the Great Wall before Tubo, which led to the disobedience of young men in the army and did not take on the great responsibilities. This is the key to the minister's victory calmly. The weakness of Tubo is not because of the weak country, but because of the lack of excellent generals and military commanders. As long as they find an excellent military commander, we cannot win so easily. Before the decisive battle, we also met a young general from Tubo, who was extremely talented and might carry the military of Tubo and become a strong enemy of our army."

Li Longji frowned and said, "Is Long Langchi really pretending?"

Pei Min said: "Although I don't know what Tubo has made, the successive failures did indeed hurt their tendons and their bones, but it was not enough to cause fatal injuries. They still have the power to fight us, and I can confirm this!"

Li Longji did not hide it and said bluntly: "Just the day before yesterday, Long Langchi suddenly made a proposal, saying that he was willing to pay tribute to our Tang Dynasty and pay double tribute to us every year, just asking our army to withdraw from Moliyi. He said that they had already scared Jingyuan's methods. You are nearby, and their herders dare not grazed in Qinghai Lake at all."

"I see!"

Pei Min instantly understood the intention of Tubo and also knew why Li Longji was so excited.

The beginning of the rise of Tubo was the time when the Zhenguan Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were at its most powerful military.

At that time, Li Shimin focused on the Western Regions and did not take Tubo seriously at all.

By the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Tubo had already risen, and had famous generals like Gar Qinling, and had the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty in military terms.

Because of this, the alliance between the Tang and the Turkish countries was not a master-subject agreement, and the Tang Dynasty was not a sect leader of Tubo, but a alliance between uncle and nephew.

Tang was the uncle and Tubo was the nephew, and it was a relationship of a generation.

If the lord and ministers can really make an agreement that Tubo is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and Zanpu of Tubo will accept the enthronement of the Tang Dynasty and will still be sanctioned when they write to each other.

Although it is a situation, it is of great significance.

If this matter was completed by Li Longji, in a sense, it would be a feat that surpassed the previous dynasty.

There is no reason why Li Longji is not moved.

"Your Majesty! I think there are two things that have led to the compromise of Tubo! First..." Pei Min stretched out a finger and said, "Their vitality was severely damaged, and we needed to help restore our vitality. Becoming my vassal state of Tang Dynasty, being able to enjoy tax reduction and trade treatment from the vassal state can promote their economy. Second..." He raised his second finger and said, "It is also the most critical. He doesn't want us to threaten Qinghai Lake, nor does he want us to adapt to altitude sickness!"

"Plateau reaction?" Li Longji was a little confused.

Pei Min smiled and explained: "It is the so-called "unacceptance to the land and the land and the terrain of Tubo is far higher than that of our Tang Dynasty. The unacceptance to the land and the land will cause great trouble to our army and it is also the reliance of Tubo. As long as there is an existence that is unacceptance to the land and the land, they will be like geckos. Even if we cut off their tails, they will eventually grow again. But if we have an army that can fight on the plateau, the situation will be different immediately. No matter how long the geckos are, they will have no power to turn the world back as long as they cut off their heads. We have an army that can fight on the plateau, which is the least willing to see. "

"In order to prevent this, they even proposed to surrender, which shows how important they are to guard against our Tang Dynasty. This also indirectly indicates that Tubo's compromise is not sincere, but to learn from Goujian! A temporary humiliation cannot be considered humiliation, and only the winner is the winner. Now the winner is us, and we can't let Tubo laugh to the end." Pei Min said cautiously.

Li Longji looked solemn. King Goujian of Yue tasted feces and diarrhea, and who would not know how to sleep with firewood and gall?

Pei Min said: "Actually, the alliance between uncle and nephew is still a vassal, which is not very meaningful. Could it be that Tubo has been able to really control the political situation of Tubo? It is just literally good, but it is not very meaningful. With Your Majesty's ambition, is it limited to making Tubo surrender? Indeed, making Tubo surrender is indeed beyond the previous dynasty. But it is only a little nicer. Which one is more meaningful than my Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers who are more powerful than to capture the Potala Palace?"

"Of course it's the latter!" Li Longji heard the eyebrows and said angrily: "What a rogue, he almost got confused. He must have learned the news that Jingyuan is coming to Chang'an. Seeing that the agreement cannot be reached for the time being, he is worried that you will ruin his major affairs. He simply abandoned such temptation... I felt that there was a ghost, so I didn't agree. I wanted to listen to your opinions. In this way, Jingyuan took Mo Liyi for long-term consideration!"

Pei Min said: "Even for the long term, for the present! Your Majesty, you must never let go of this mouth."

Li Longji suddenly frowned and said, "Compared to Long Langchi's lies, I believe in Jingyuan's loyal advice. However, in recent days, Long Langchi has used all his methods and many ministers in the court convinced him. He felt that building Moli City was not worth the long term in Moli Post. It costs hundreds of thousands of military expenses every year, and even triggers unnecessary war disputes, which is not worth the loss. Especially when the matter of surrender comes out, most of the civil and military officials have an attitude of agreement. After all, the Tubo Plateau is barren and economically, it is not suitable for conquest."

Pei Min agrees with this point, but does not agree with it. Just like Goguryeo, Goguryeo is located in a remote place, poor mountains and rivers, and conquests have indeed damaged the country's economy and have little profit. However, the rear is unstable, how can the front develop? Even if it is a loss, Goguryeo has to fight.

The same is true for Tubo. From the perspective of economic and people's livelihood, the civil officials' concerns are not unreasonable. But they still have to fight.
