On the other side of the camp, Geer of the Tibetan mission also saw Zhang Chao walking into the tent of the Eastern Female King's Daughter.
Gehr is in his early twenties, very young, but he has a lot of responsibility.
All the way north, he gave people the impression that he had very few words.
But he said little, but he saw more, and he was always secretly and carefully.
Observing everything, observing the bits and pieces he saw all the way north from Luoscheng, he saw the changes in the vassal countries and Subi, and also saw the changes in the daughter country, the white wolf, Bailan, Domi and other countries, and also saw the foreign strength of Tuyuhun and the strength of the Tang Dynasty, the lord of the Central Plains who had not been established for a long time.
Geer is especially interested in this young Duke of Datang County, this person is so young, but it is said that he is not from a famous nobleman, but from scratch, in a short time, he has been named a duke, guarding the Longxi border pass of the Tang Dynasty.
With the power of one state alone, the huge smelting power of Tuyuhun was almost wiped out, and the forced Tuyuhun compromised and formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.
Geer regarded Zhang Chao as a research object for his understanding of the Tang Dynasty, and secretly observed everything about him.
"Geer, this Zhang Wenyuan is a womanizer" Behind Geer, a Tibetan man said with some disdain.
It wasn't dark yet, so I couldn't wait to drill the tent of the East Lady and the King's daughter, I was a little too impatient.
Gell silently withdrew his gaze from the camp of the East Female Country.
He turned to look at the crowd behind him and shook his head.
He knew that they all despised Zhang Chao, because this Zhang Chao looked so young, and even a little weak.
Wearing a lot of clothes, wrapping himself tightly.
This is not the image of a strong man at all, and he secretly despises his own people.
The most powerful place in man is the heart, and the heart commands the limbs.
No matter how strong his body is, he doesn't have a smart heart, and he's just a stupid big man.
After this period of understanding, he clearly saw that Zhang Wenyuan was indeed not a warrior, but he was definitely a clever commander.
Although Zhang Wenyuan is young, he will never be a womanizer.
"It seems that Zhang Wenyuan wants to have a secret business agreement with Dongnu State," Geer said, expressing his judgment.
The Tibetan man frowned, "Geer, are you sure?"
The Tibetan man was the envoy of the Tibetan mission this time, and Geer was his assistant.
In recent years, under the leadership of Langri Ronzan, Tibet has risen on the plateau and is expanding in all directions.
After conquering Zhangzhung and Subi, they were already thinking about their next attack.
There are currently two options for the next conquest, one is the country of Domi north of Subi, which the Tubo people also call the southern country, and the other is the Dongnu country, which the Tubo people also call them the eastern country.
One in the north and one in the northeast.
The strength of these two countries is not as good as that of Subi, but they are also quite powerful, especially now that Duomi and Dongnu are allied with the Tang Dynasty.
Tami also has two allies, Bai Lan and White Wolf, and the East Woman Country also has eight dependencies of the Eight Kingdoms of the West Mountain.
The two alliances each have a population of hundreds of thousands, and 20,000 soldiers and horses.
For Tibet, which now has 50,000 soldiers, it is no problem to attack one of the two countries alone.
But if you attack an alliance, it's not easy.
If the two alliances are still in alliance again under the mediation of Datang, this will be even more disadvantageous.
But what worries Tubo the most is that these two alliances are subservient to the Tang Dynasty, so it will be troublesome.
If you move them, you will move Datang.
Geer nodded, "Zhang Chao must have gone to discuss things with the East Prince's Daughter." ” "Geer, you have to think of a way, we have to talk to this Wu'an County Duke alone.
This time, I found that Datang was much stronger than we expected, and Tuyuhun was much weaker than we expected. ” Gehr agreed with Sambu's words.
"I think we should change our plans, maybe we can't fight the south or the east again, they are now allies of the Tang Dynasty.
If we negotiate between the two countries, Datang is very likely to interfere.
Although Datang is far away, he can mobilize White Wolf, Bai Lan, Dongshan and other countries to join forces against us. ” "Maybe we can suggest to Zampu that we should join forces with Datang to attack Tuyuhun and divide Tuyuhun at that time."
"Geer, I know you are very smart, but we are only the messengers of Zampu, his eyes and ears, watching the strength and attitude of the countries, especially the Tang Dynasty, for him.
As for the decision-making, this has to be decided by the ministers of Zampu, and we have no right. ” Gehr nodded, turned and went into the tent.
In the camp of the East Women's Country, Zhang Chao directly opened the tent and entered it with a very thick face under the gaze of a large group.
As a result, as soon as he entered, Qingluan was taking a bath inside, standing directly inside the tent, scrubbing his body.
Now it's embarrassing.
Zhang Chao stood there, neither advancing nor retreating.

In the end, he simply went in cheekily, walked to the blanket, and sat down cross-legged.
Qingluan also noticed him coming in, and did not stop, still scrubbing his body as if no one was around.
Zhang Chao sat there, admiring it seriously, unbuttoning her hair bun, removing her clothes, and even the traditional makeup on her face, she was just an ordinary girl.
Or that she is not ordinary, her figure is very toned, her lower abdomen is flat, her waist is very thin, and she has wonderful curves.
If she doesn't speak, then she is no different from the Han family's woman.
A girl who can wear leather pants so sexy, her figure is really not bad.
"It's not dark yet."
Qingluan turned around and said to Zhang Chao with a smile while continuing to wipe his body.
"I'm just here to talk to you about something."
"We can do something else while we talk."
Qingluan said with a smile.
Such a spicy girl is really powerful.
"Help me take off my clothes, just the silk one next to you."
Zhang Chao picked up the silk dress, it was very beautiful and the colors were also very bright, and at a glance, he knew that it was a conscience commodity purchased by the Zhang family's caravan from the Central Plains.
"It's so cold, it's actually better to wear silk than to wear a velvet jacket."
Silk is soft and cold, especially thinner, and it will be very comfortable to wear in summer, but in winter, it is average.
"I love silk, it's so beautiful, it's so supple and smooth" The clothes were handed over.
Qingluan didn't answer, "You can help me put it on, or you don't have to wear it."
As she spoke, she chuckled and turned around, wanting to take off Zhang Chao's clothes.
"It's not dark yet," now it was Zhang Chao's turn to say this.
"It's all here, it doesn't matter if it's dark or not."
Qingluan doesn't care so much, she is very direct, whatever she thinks in her heart is what she is, and she doesn't hide it.
It's not that it won't, it's just that I don't want to.
"I'm really just here to talk about things."
"So what" In the end, Zhang Chao rolled the sheets first.
"Let's talk about things now," Zhang Chao gasped.
Qingluan smiled, "I really have something to talk about, I thought you were just" "You can't doubt my character like that, I'm really here to talk about things."
"I'm going to do it again" After the third time, Qingluan finally stopped his madness and was willing to talk about things.
"You put on your clothes, let's sit here and have a good talk."
Zhang Chao said angrily to Qingluan, who was pestering him like eight minions, this woman was so crazy, Zhang Chao was a little overwhelmed by her madness.
"I'm so tired, I don't want to move" "It's not easy to talk about this."
"Then why can't we talk about things, just talk about it.
Whatever you want to talk about, you just say. ” The two of them hugged each other, covered with blankets and braziers on one side, but it was quite warm and comfortable.
Originally, Zhang Chao wanted to have a relationship with Qingluan Lala, and then saw if the two hundred male and female warriors of the Hou Dong Women's Country could be used by him.
But now, Zhang Chao suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything, forget it, or directly make the relationship more intimate.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, if Qingluan has a good relationship, he should be able to help him at that time.
"Say, didn't you just say you had something to talk about?"
Qingluan asked on Zhang Chao's chest.
"All of a sudden I forgot what I was going to talk about."
"Hahaha" Qingluan couldn't stop laughing, stretched out his hand and kept patting Zhang Chao, laughing almost out of breath.
Zhang Chao was quite embarrassed, so it seemed that he really came to roll the sheets.
"Listen to me, I really wanted to talk about things, but you made a fuss and forgot."
"Don't say it, I can't believe it?"
When she finally stopped, Zhang Chao still felt that her face was hot, and no matter how thick her skin was, she couldn't bear it.
"San Lang, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"What" "Our daughter country wants to buy some ordnance from Datang, that is, your Mingguang armor and longbow and hard crossbow, especially those Fuyuan crossbows, bed crossbows, as well as horizontal knives and rifles, we all want to buy some."
When it came to business, Zhang Chao became serious.
He put his arms around Qingluan and ran his fingers through her long hair.
"Ordnance is a very sensitive material, and it has always been forbidden to flow out."
"Aren't we allies" Zhang Chao smiled, "What do you want to buy ordnance for, how much do you want to buy?"
"Guarding against the enemy, you know all around us, the Tibetans, the party, the six edicts, and the barbarian fangs, etc., these people have always been hostile to us, and even come to plunder every year.
Especially now that Subi is occupied by the Tibetans, they have expanded to our side.
And to the east, the strength of the six edicts is getting bigger and bigger, especially the southern edicts among them, which are all great enemies. ” What Qingluan said, Zhang Chao also knows it.
The overall situation in the southwest is that the big fish are eating the small fish, and Tubo and Nanzhao will continue to grow stronger, and will eventually become the two major hegemons in the southwest, and the original strong side such as the daughter country will eventually be annexed.
Zhang Chao didn't want to see Tubo or Nanzhao become stronger, and there were more small countries in the southwest, which was the most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
However, the sale of ordnance is not an ordinary business practice.
This must be decided by the imperial court.
"I can give you a suggestion, this time to pay tribute to Beijing, if the Dongnu Kingdom is willing to submit to my Datang, and from now on become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, or even directly become a minister of the Tang Dynasty, then this matter is not impossible."
Zhang Chao's suggestion is actually that the Dongnu Kingdom is attached to the country, not the kind of ordinary vassal state, but directly becomes the county of Mizhou in the Tang Dynasty.
For example, the Tang Dynasty set up a state on the territory of the Eastern Female Kingdom, or divided it into multiple states, appointed the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom as the governor or assassin of the history, and even awarded the queen the title of Tang Dynasty Scattered Ranks, etc., in fact, the Eastern Female Kingdom is still ruled by the queen, but nominally the Eastern Female Kingdom is part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
"No need to pay taxes, no service, no need to fight for the Tang Dynasty" Qingluan felt that this kind of bondage system was very intriguing, "So what is the purpose of this?"
"Of course it makes sense, from now on, you are my Datang people, and your territory is also my Datang territory.
For you, as long as you are loyal to Datang, then Datang is your protector, and whoever dares to invade you is violating Datang's territory and harming the people of Datang, and Datang has the obligation to send troops to protect you.
You don't usually have to pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty to serve, but you also need to pay some tribute every year, and if there is a war in the Tang Dynasty, you are also obliged to send some soldiers and generals to assist the court in the battle. ” "Will Datang send officials to us, will it immigrate the people?"
"We will not interfere in your own internal affairs, and the imperial court will definitely send some officials over, but for liaison.
As for the immigration of the people, the government will not organize it, it is up to the people's own will, and if you are willing to accept it, of course it is the best.
Wouldn't it be nice that the Han people immigrated to the past, and when they farmed and paid taxes, they could still give you a portion?"
"It does sound good, but in this case, can Datang sell us ordnance?"
"If the Dongnu Kingdom becomes a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court can naturally sell you weapons, after all, you are also part of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if you need it, Datang can directly send troops over to protect you. ” Zhang Chao prefers the second option, and the Tang Dynasty directly sends troops to protect the Dongnu Kingdom.
Well, how good that way to go.
First garrison troops, and then slowly move families over, with the military fort as the center, and then develop some tunbao on the side, and then gradually there will be Han towns, set up commercial markets, commodity circulation.
With the strong reproduction ability of the Han people, coupled with the huge population base, even the western Sichuan region, where the Dongnu Kingdom is located, will also develop quickly, and the Han people will easily surpass the local tribes.
After a long time, at that time, Han officials can be stationed again, so that local officials and Han officials can each govern their own people.
If it continues to develop, when the time is ripe, it can also change the land and return to the stream, and at that time, it will truly become a part of the Central Plains Empire.
In fact, the expansion of the Central Plains Dynasty to the southwest has always been this model.
Although it was also mixed with many conquests of swords and swords, as well as betrayal of blood and fire, after successive generations of dynasties continued to conquer and assimilate, in the end, those places in the southwest with high mountains and dangerous waters also became part of China.
"Thank you, San Lang, if you can help us buy ordnance from Datang, we are grateful" "Why be polite."
Zhang Chao looked at Qingluan's dark eyes, "Qingluan, when I arrive in Chang'an, I may need your favor, you will help me."
"Of course," Qingluan replied boldly. t1706231537:
