Chapter 662 Xiao Liuzi is here

At that time, Xiao Liuzi was just a servant of the Cui family, and all he did was low-level things. If Li Xiang hadn't promoted him, he would probably be busy somewhere now, and there would be no way he would be where he is now. status.

After two years, Songtsen Gampo and other chieftains also understood that Li Xiang was secretly causing trouble in everything, but what can they do after they understand? Can you still go back to before?

In the past two years, Tubo has gone through various wars, and its overall national strength is no longer what it used to be. Although it is still a relatively powerful country around the Tang Dynasty, if it wants to challenge the Tang Dynasty as before, That's simply impossible.

Take the army under Songtsan Gampo as an example. Originally, they could gather 50,000 to 60,000 people. This was specially used for offensive purposes, and it could also ensure that all parts of Tibet were under his rule. But now, let alone Songtsan Gampo. It's an attack, and it's very difficult to defend the existing land.

The original family was divided into two families, and the two families were still fighting. If the original situation still existed, it would be a disaster.

"Get up. Although this is the first time we have met, I have heard it many times in Xiao Liuzi's mind. Although you are young, you are also very good at what you do. I also sent people to find you in Han Di. All the gifts that should be given to my family have been given, and I will stay with Xiao Liuzi from now on and help him implement various plans."

This person turned out to be a Han Chinese, and he lived honestly in the area around the two lakes. But later, because of a disaster in his hometown, he went to the plateau. Later, he was discovered by Xiao Liuzi, and he was considered a capable person.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will definitely assist Mr. Liu well."

Class concepts are more serious on the plateau. This guy has also lived on the plateau for many years. People like Li Xiang are the noble grandson of the emperor. He is just a rescued slave, so he does not dare to raise his head when speaking. , I am afraid of being beheaded if I break various rules.

Tubo's social system is relatively backward, and there is no guarantee for the lives of slaves at all. If you want to survive in this land, you must understand how to do things. If you don't understand this, then you probably won't. Even ten heads are not enough to chop off.

"Don't be nervous. Find a place to sit down. Xiaoliuzi may not have told you, but you will know it when we get in touch with each other for a long time. We are all our own people. There is no need to engage in such nonsense. Just give it to me. Please report carefully what happened on the plateau and tell me everything you know. If I don’t understand something, I will ask you. If I don’t interrupt you, you can continue talking.”

Except for Long Er behind him, everyone else in the tent had gone out. With only his own people, Li Xiang was too lazy to do the etiquette. If he had to pretend for a long time with his own people, the work efficiency would be low. too low.

It was indeed the first time for Wen Cunhai to see such a harmonious nobleman. Even though Xiao Liuzi had already vaccinated him, Wen Cunhai still couldn't believe that this was the grandson of the emperor. He was a heavenly being.

Such a person could speak so softly. Wen Cunhai pinched himself. Only when he felt the pain did he realize that all this was true.

Not to mention such an existence on the plateau, even the ordinary leader is extremely strict when speaking to his subordinates. If you say the wrong thing, the leader will immediately raise the whip in his hand and will not use it. If you hit him until you are covered in blood, he will never stop.

When he first started reporting, Wen Cunhai was also cautious. After finishing speaking, he would pause to see if Li Xiang had any questions. But soon he found that there was no need to pause. Li Xiang's mind was very fast. The time spent in Tubo was short, but Li Xiang knew the place very well.

Today's Tubo is completely different from when Li Xiang left. At that time, Tubo still had a certain strength, but after two years of intermittent war, 60% of the social wealth has been wiped out, whether it is the chieftain Neither Master nor Songtsen Gampo has much power now.

Although Xiao Liuzi has not developed into the king behind the scenes, he still has a certain status in speaking on the plateau. Now the three poles have been formed on the plateau.

The most powerful one is naturally Songtsen Gampo. He himself is the king of the plateau. Although he has been weakened in various ways during this period, it is undeniable that he is still the king of this area, whether it is the land he controls or the The troops in hand are the most powerful in this region.

Secondly, there is the chieftain. The power and army they control are second only to Songtsan cadres, but their potential is huge, because the area they control is the richest area, because they have not yet explored the territory under their hands. The limit, if you really dig to the limit, you may not be able to beat Songtsen cadres.

The third pole is Xiaoliuzi. Originally, people like Xiaoliuzi were hiding behind the chieftain. They only did some shady things, just provoking war between the two sides. But now Xiaoliuzi has come to the front. They He also had his own territory, and also won over some frustrated chieftains and tribal leaders.

Although people like Xiao Liuzi are the weakest, because they control the trade channels with Datang, all kinds of goods come out of Xiao Liuzi's hands, so they are the ones that the other two forces should not mess with the most.

Cadre Songtsan had some evil thoughts before, hoping to unite with the chieftains and eliminate Xiaoliuzi, but Xiaoliuzi quickly crushed this conspiracy, and there was no need to do anything else. Songtsan The hatred between Zangampo and the chieftains is too deep. Xiao Liuzi only needs to say, if I am killed by Songtsan cadres, will you be able to support me in the future?

The chieftains are not fools. They know that their abilities are far behind Songtsan cadres. The reason why they can still hold on and live a very comfortable life is because of the power of the Tang Dynasty represented by Xiao Liuzi. , if they were killed, Songtsan cadres would be free to deal with them.

Although this time may be a little longer, the chieftains all understand that if Songtsan cadres really become serious, none of them will have a chance to survive.
