    Anningfang, Qingtian Restaurant, is a small restaurant with not many customers and business is deserted.

    Gesang stepped in, and the store clerk came out to greet him with a smile on his face: "Sir, would you like to eat or rest?"

    "Do you have plum blossoms for sale here? Give me a few." Gesang was now wearing casual clothes from the Tang Dynasty, and with a Chang'an accent, he looked like a Tang Dynasty man.

    The shop clerk¡¯s mouth was wide open and he didn¡¯t come back to his senses for a long time: ¡°Plum blossoms? Sir, it¡¯s May now, where can there be plum blossoms? If you want plum blossoms, you have to have winter.¡±

    Plum blossoms are cold-resistant by nature and are popular among people, but they only bloom in winter.  Buying plum blossoms in the hot summer season is a surprise, even if the store clerk is not surprised.

    Gesang said seriously: "There is a kind of plum blossom that blooms all year round. You are too ignorant."

    A scholar wearing a mat hat came over and said with a smile: "This brother must be a lover of flowers. It's rare! I happen to have the kind of plum blossoms you mentioned that always bloom undefeated. If brother doesn't mind that the journey is a bit long,  You can go to my house and have a look."

    "Thank you very much, brother." Gesang looked at the scholar briefly and nodded in agreement.

    The scholar turned sideways and invited: "Please!"

    Gesang said politely and left the shop.  The scholar took out a lot of money and put it on the counter: "No need to change the money for the drinks." Then he went out.

    The shop clerk tossed the copper coins in his hand and shook his head disdainfully: "Really, buying plum blossoms on May Day is an eye-opener!"

    Under the leadership of the scholar, Kelsang got into the scholar's car.  The scholar knocked on the carriage, the carriage rumbled, and the horse drove leisurely on the street.

    The scholar clasped his fists and said, "May I ask your Excellency, what is the name of the king?"

    Gesang answered truthfully: "I am Gesang. I wonder where your fairyland is?"

    "I am Ruan Dacheng, who comes from the hometown of Meihua." Ruan Dacheng took off his hat and said with a smile: "Master Gesang is here. Ruan Dacheng has been rude, please forgive me."

    Gesang smiled and said, "Sir Ruan's words are serious. I have admired the envoy's name for a long time, and when I saw him today, it was indeed true. Gesang is polite here." He cupped his fists and saluted.

    Ruan Dacheng stopped him and said, "I should have invited Master Gesang to my residence to have a drink and have a drink, but Master Gesang must be aware of the current situation. Ruan Dacheng cannot treat guests when welcoming guests. I am really sorry!"

    Gesang smiled heartily: "Sir Ruan's words are serious! Let's get together again after the matter is completed."

    "Well said!" Ruan Dacheng praised.

    Kelsang frowned and asked, "I wonder what the important matter is for your sect to invite me here?" The reason why Kelsang came to Chang'an this time was because the Crescent Sect invited me to discuss important matters with Tibet.

    Originally, Tubo had spies in Chang'an, and if something happened to the Crescent Sect, they could handle it without sending people to Tubo.  But the Crescent Sect insisted, and Tibet then sent Gesang to Chang'an as an envoy.

    Ruan Dacheng said proudly: "To tell you the truth, the people our sect is inviting this time are not just Tibetans."

    Gesang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did the Turks also come?"

    Later, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty fought for 20 to 30 years. The two countries were on the same side. If the Crescent Sect wanted to cause trouble, they had to rely on external forces. Tubo and the Turks, two countries that were enemies of the Tang Dynasty, were naturally the targets of their efforts.  .

    Ruan Dacheng neither admitted nor denied, but changed the subject: "Master Gesang, does he know why our sect asked you to send someone here?"

    Do you still need to think about this question?  It¡¯s obvious!  Gesang said calmly: "The Tubo Plateau is too high and you can't breathe, so you want us to send someone here?"

    Colluding with the Crescent Sect would also be beneficial to Tubo, so sending an envoy was not a big deal.

    Ruan Dacheng shook his head and said: "Lord Gesang, our sect is doing this for the good of Tubo. It can be said that if it weren't for our Crescent Sect, your Tubo would have been destroyed by Li Tang, and we still don't know the reason."

    "Want to destroy Tubo?" Gesang smiled contemptuously, shook his head, and said with a sneer: "You are alarmist! Tibet and the Tang Dynasty have been fighting for decades, and it is only us who harass the Tang Dynasty.  What can Tang do to me, Tubo? If I can¡¯t defeat Tibet, I can retreat to Shibao City. Even if Tang wants to destroy me, Tubo can¡¯t do it!¡±

    As he said, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought for decades, and Tubo repeatedly harassed the Tang Dynasty's Hexi region by virtue of the unique geographical environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.  Once the war went unfavorably, Tubo retreated and relied on the dangers of Shibao City to block the Tang army's advance.

    It has always been the Tang Dynasty's wish to clean up Tubo. However, Shibao City was too dangerous and could not be defeated, causing the Tang Dynasty's many efforts to be in vain.  AlsoIt is unimaginable.  If you get it, transport it to Longshou Plain and hide it, and wait until the emperor Ruizong and his ministers gather together to bombard the Daming Palace, what will be the result?

    Needless to say, the monarch and his ministers must have suffered heavy casualties.  Even if Ruizhong did not die and half, or even less than half, of the ministers were killed or injured, the strength of the entire Tang Dynasty would be greatly reduced, or at least it would be in chaos for a while.  In this chaos, the Crescent Sect will definitely rebel, and the Tang army will definitely go south to put down the rebellion.

    At that time, Tubo seized the opportunity to go out of Hexi, cut off the Hexi Corridor, and let its allies, the Dashi Empire, fight in the Western Regions and annihilate all the Tang Dynasty's troops in the Western Regions. Tubo and Dashi could devour the Western Regions.

    By obtaining the land of Anxi and the Hexi Corridor, Tubo's strength will be greatly increased. More importantly, the strategic channel into the Central Plains will be opened. The Tubo army can intimidate Chang'an and wait for an opportunity to enter the Central Plains. What will that be like?  What about the situation?

    This future is so wonderful that Gesang feels dizzy just thinking about it.

    To achieve this goal, the Turks must be involved. When the Turks come out of the north, they will contain the Tang army in the north.  The Turks were destroyed by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli Khan was also captured alive. The Turks regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, and they thought about revenge all the time.  What's even more coincidental is that the current post-Turkic Khan is the descendant of Jieli Khan. Will they miss this opportunity?

    The answer is yes: absolutely not!

    Does the Khitan want to get involved?  The Khitan is too small and is located in Liaodong. Since being defeated by Wu Zetian, it has been unable to retreat. It only occasionally harasses the border, but there has been no big movement.  The Khitan's strength is too small, and it doesn't matter whether they participate or not, but it is better than nothing. It would also be good to let the Khitan contain the Tang army in Liaodong.

    Ok, deal!  Gesang smiled sinisterly and thought, "Now it's time to lobby the Turks and Khitans."  With their help, this can be done.  Having made up his mind, Kelsang put on his casual clothes, disguised himself, and left the post house.

    After Ruizong and the others left, Chen Wanrong devoted himself wholeheartedly to making artillery.  Today, everything went smoothly, and in three or two days this artillery piece will be ready.  Looking at the shining bronze cannon, Chen Wanrong was also happy.

    Wang Shaohua came over quickly: "Brother Chen, Brother Shuhan wants to see you for something."

    Brother Shuhan would not come here unless there was something important, so Chen Wanrong hurriedly followed Wang Shaohua.  Wang Shaohua led Chen Wanrong to a room, where he saw Ge Shuhan sitting on a chair and drinking tea, looking relaxed.

    Chen Wanrong cupped his fists and said, "I've seen Brother Shu."

    Ge Shuhan returned the gift and explained the purpose of his visit: "Brother Chen, I have something important to tell you this time. Cui Shi is an important figure of the Crescent Sect in the court. This morning my people found that he and Han Ping had gone there.  Yunzhenguan!"

    "Oh!" Chen Wanrong was really surprised that Cui Shi was from the Crescent Sect and almost jumped up.  Even Wang Shaohua was staring in disbelief.  (To be continued.
