Lu Zhicheng felt that the matter was serious, so he immediately sent someone six hundred miles to rush back to Beijing to report.
Lu Zhishan felt that this was an opportunity. While letting Zhao Jingting continue to mediate in Tubo and select suitable princes to support him, he also asked the southwestern army to postpone their actions and let Siam and Tubo fight in a melee, just waiting to reap the benefits. So these two For months, Lu Zhicheng spent most of his time in the Southwest Army camp. Except for a few inspections, he really never left the camp.
"What else can be done? How can the Tibetan army be the opponent of the Siamese? In less than two months, 20,000 troops have been lost. If it were not for the complicated terrain in southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that the Tibetan army would have been completely annihilated by now. Yes, tsk tsk tsk, I feel sorry for the Tubo people just by looking at it," Lu Zhicheng said, while standing up to twist the handkerchief, wiped his face and neck, and said, "I didn't know that Zhao Jingting was acting in Tubo. But is it going well? If it goes well for him, we can help Tubo, which can be regarded as a big gift to the new king of Tubo. "
"It's not just a gift, it's also a reminder to the Tubo people that from now on they must keep to themselves and completely cut off ties with Siam." Zhou Chi curled his lips sarcastically, paused, and then sighed, "It was also in Siam on the Lancang River back then. We have joined forces with Tibet to encircle and suppress our southwestern army. Today, they are at war with each other. It is true that thirty years have passed since Hedong and thirty years have passed since Hexi."
"If you use profit to make friends, the benefits will be scattered; if you use power to make friends, you will fall apart if the power fails; if you use power to make friends, you will give up if the power is lost; if you make friends with feelings, you will be hurt if the feelings are broken; only if you make friends with the heart, you can achieve long-term success," Lu Zhi Cheng nodded and said, "This time, we in Dali have given Tubo a huge favor. If they also understand this, they will be able to maintain a hundred years of stability between the two countries in the future. If they still dare to bare their teeth, then we don't have to be tolerant." So generous.”
"You are right, now we have to wait for Zhao Jingting's letter," Zhou Chi said with a smile, looking up at Lu Zhicheng, pursed his lips and said, "You have been in Southern Xinjiang for less than half a year, why do I feel that you have grown up? It’s like he’s more than ten years old.”
"Hahaha! That's Master Zhou's good teaching. When I was recuperating in Guangxi, I was so pitiful that I vomited whatever I ate, and you forced me to read the book of war all the time. You don't even know how annoyed I was at that time." Lu Zhicheng laughed widely.
"Are you still annoyed now?" Zhou Chi looked at him with a smile.
"If you were so annoyed, why would you bother to search for ointment for you?" Lu Zhicheng grinned at him, straightened up, walked over and opened the curtain and asked the guard at the door, "Is dinner ready?"
"General Qi, that's it." The guard said hurriedly.
"Keep urging." Lu Zhicheng raised his chin at the guard.
"Yes, I obey." The guard ran towards the kitchen in a hurry.
Zhou Chi poured a cup of tea, leaned back on the chair, and asked Lu Zhicheng: "Is it time to have dinner at this hour?"
"I brought some good stuff from below, and I want you to try it," Lu Zhicheng said with a smile. He walked to sit on the soft couch and said to Zhou Chi, "You must like to eat it."
Zhou Chi also became interested: "What's delicious?"
"You'll know later," Lu Zhicheng winked at Zhou Chi, with a cunning look on his face. Without waiting for Zhou Chi to speak, he stretched out and fell on the soft couch, sighing comfortably, " It’s still comfortable at home!”
Zhou Chi couldn't help but laugh when he saw his appearance. He poured him a cup of tea and brought it over while saying, "You haven't slept in the past two days, okay?"
