Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 190 The status of the two sides has been swapped, and Datang is the best!
"Hoo! Hoo!"

"Ahead is the mountain pass leading to Tuyuhun!"

Looking at the crimson mountaintop in the distance, Li Yan turned around and looked at the envoys: "How do you feel physically? Have you adapted to the plateau environment?"

Everyone was a little listless, but they still responded one after another: "If you go back to Deputy Envoy Li, it will be much better. This place really needs to get used to it..."

The envoys rested in Liangzhou for a day and set off immediately. After arriving at Chiling, a branch of Qilian Mountains, they began to adjust in the mountains.

It is recorded in ancient books that the soil and rocks in Chiling are all red, and the red land is hairless.

But when he came here, Li Yan found that it was not so exaggerated, that is, the red color on the top of the mountain was more obvious, and most of the mountain was still in normal color.

Later generations here changed its name to Riyue Mountain. It is said that when Princess Wencheng passed by this mountain, she looked up at the peak and missed her hometown. , the princess was full of grief and joy, and accidentally broke the mirror in two, which happened to fall on two small hills, one reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun and the other illuminating the rising moonlight, hence the name Riyue Mountain.

It's a beautiful legend, but unfortunately, when Princess Wencheng got married, Queen Wende had passed away long ago, so there was no way to give the mirror.

In Li Yan's eyes, this is a place with an average altitude of 4000 meters, which is just right for the diplomatic missions to adapt to altitude sickness.

People living on the plains are very likely to suffer from altitude sickness when they reach a height of more than 3000 meters.

Those with relatively high hemoglobin and strong oxygen-carrying capacity will recover within a day or two of adaptation, while those who are particularly sensitive to low-oxygen environments may have plateau symptoms that last for three to seven days.

This problem of adapting to oxygen is two-way, so that people who live on the plateau all day will also experience drunk oxygen when they go to the plains, and the reason is the same.

Li Yan was also unable to be immune to altitude sickness, but he adjusted himself and adapted to the current altitude environment in less than a day.

Others inevitably suffered, but fortunately, including Li Yiyan, most of them relieved their symptoms within three to four days.

At present, the remaining big problems in the team are the one big and one small two.

Li Yan looked at Yang Zaisi, a little helpless: "Brother Zaisi, your body needs to be exercised a lot!"

Look at the little prince again: "Did you spit it out?"

Yang Zaisi is the least adaptable among adults. At first, Shen Juyuan almost carried him on his back, but now he has to be supported by others. Hearing this, he smiled wryly: "Sorry, I have become a drag!"

The little prince is one of the children, oh, actually there are only two children, Shangguan Wan'er is in high spirits, and is sitting on the horse studying the book Li Yan gave her seriously, the little prince is groggy, crying and vomiting, at this time still Moaning: "...Rejuvenation...Rejuvenation..."

Fortunately, although Princess Honghua sent him here cruelly, it was impossible to let this pampered son fend for himself, and sent a team of elite guards to protect him, including many old Tuyuhun troops.

Li Yan said at this time: "You guys rest and get used to the environment, come to an old Tuyuhun, and follow me to check the terrain!"

The one-eyed veteran Xue Le came out: "I'm at the command of Deputy Envoy Li!"

Li Yan nodded and led him to the mountains.

Soon, the two came to the pass.

Looking at the terrain surrounded by mountains, Li Yan couldn't help feeling: "This throat is so important!"

At that time, Tubo guarded the army here, so that the Tuyuhun people who wanted to move to the Tang Dynasty could not pass through the border.

In history, the military friction between the two countries also fought around this place, until the Tang Dynasty was completely unable to deal with Tubo. From the 733st year of Kaiyuan ([-]), Chiling was officially designated for trading. After Tang Suzong, it was even more developed. The tea-horse market was established.

"If you want to curb the development of Tubo, the line from Qinghai to Chiling must be under military radiation."

"Controlling this area means blocking Tubo's route to the east. If the plateau empire wants to expand, it can only go west to fight Dashi."

Li Yan glanced around, and began to recall the friction between the two countries in history.

It is well known to later generations that the Wu Zhou Dynasty was a famous military hip-pull period, but in fact, in the Kaiyuan period of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, in the confrontation with Tubo, although the Tang army did not suffer a major defeat, it was even more passive than the Wu Zhou period.

Because at that time, the area around Chiling in Qinghai was completely controlled by Tubo, and no one could get in. Tang Jun wanted to suffer from altitude sickness, but he had nowhere to experience it.

Now at least there is still the initiative to attack. Unfortunately, although this place is not far from Liangzhou, it is not easy to win, especially when facing a general with strong military skills like Qinling.

While thinking about it, Li Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at the eagle hovering in the sky: "There is someone approaching ahead!"

These days, Xue Le also knew that this was a condor, and his one-eyed eyes showed awe: "Vice Envoy Li, Tubo has a beacon station here. It is very likely that Tubo scouts are approaching. Shall we avoid it?"

"We are a mission, not an army, don't worry!"

Li Yan waved his hand: "Let's see how many people come and see if they can eat it, and then talk about other things!"

Sheller: "..."

Are you sure this is the tone of the envoy?

Without hesitation, Li Yan got up and jumped up, stepping lightly, and he had already reached a mountain top, with his hands empty on Hu Lu's mouth.

Ordinary soldiers put [-] arrows in the hulu at their waists, and he put [-] arrows, and he shot Sirius a hundred steps through Yang, without any failure. Chance to win.

But at this point, Li Yan left Hu Lu's hand and smiled playfully: "So it's an old acquaintance."

A team with a clear banner appeared. The leader was a big man with long and narrow eyes, a tall nose, and rough red skin.

Li Yan's eyes were like lightning, and he also saw that there was a sesser (bi-colored gemstone) on his waist, which symbolized the highest-level courtier in Tubo, which was equivalent to the purple-robed official of the Tang Dynasty.

Coupled with the fact that this team has a lot of equipment for guards of honor, it is obvious that Brun Zanren led the crowd to welcome the envoys.

Li Yan instructed Xue Le: "Go back and inform the envoys to get them ready!"

"Yes!"

After Xue Le left, he came to the eye-catching place and waited silently.

The Tubo side quickly found him, and Brun Zanren looked at him from a distance, and his eyes widened immediately: "Li Yuanfang?"

Li Yan nodded in greeting: "The envoy of Gar seems to have a fresh memory of me, are you all right?"

Bren Zanren gritted his teeth: "I'm fine, I don't remember other Tang people, I can recognize you even when you turn to ashes!"

Look at how enthusiastic this attitude is.

Immediately afterwards, Bo Lun Zan Ren sneered again: "Vice Envoy Li, this time you come to Tubo, I will welcome you well to repay the kindness in Datang!"

"Good talk! Good talk!"

Li Yan smiled indifferently, turned and walked towards the direction of the envoys: "Follow me!"

Someone in the Tubo team showed murderous intent and suggested: "Your Highness, he is alone, should we just..."

Bren Zanyan shook his head: "He is the deputy envoy, don't give Tang Ren an excuse, go, follow!"

Li Yan turned his back to the crowd, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He deliberately tried to see what kind of attitude Tubo had towards the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

Now I have a number in my mind.

When he returned with the Tubo team, the Tang envoys were ready.

All the people dressed up, all sitting on tall horses, facing each other with awe.

The dizzy and nauseated Yang Zaisi forced himself to straighten up, while the little prince was directly dragged to a place behind him where he could not see.

Seeing Li Yiyan holding the festival, and Li Yan also holding the festival after returning to the team, he went out in a row. Bo Lun Zanren immediately dismounted and took out the exquisite Xiangxiong dzi pendant: "By Zanpu's order, I welcome the envoys of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Yiyan stepped forward, put the dzi bead pendant around his neck, and solemnly returned the gift: "Thank you Zanpu for your kindness."

Bren Zanren rolled his eyes: "Our Tubo horses are more suitable for walking on the highlands. Zanpu specially ordered me to bring a good horse, so that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty can change their horses!"

There was some excitement in the envoys. The horses were really difficult to control these days, but Li Yiyan flatly refused: "This is not the border between the two countries. It is not in accordance with the etiquette to change the horses. It is better to go to the border of Tubo, and it will not be too late!"

Li Yan immediately praised: "What Li Zhengshi said is very true!"

There is indeed a saying in history of "Jiaoma Chiling", that is, the envoys of the Central Plains and Tubo must transfer to the other party's horse at this place before they can step into the opposite land.

But at that time, Datang had no choice but to admit that Tubo's occupation of Tuyuhun was valid, and the two sides formally used Chiling as the boundary line between the two countries.

Now Tubo actually wants to use this place as the border between the two countries?
There is no door at all, and it will be blocked with a word!
Diplomacy is no small matter, and such details must not be underestimated, they are all digging holes.

Brun Zanjian failed to succeed, and felt displeased, but continued to salute: "All envoys, please!"

Li Yiyan passed by boldly, taking the lead. Li Yan was not in a hurry, and was in charge of the rear.

Mainly behind the envoys, in addition to the gifts for Zanpu, there is also a special phalanx.

Bren Zanjian glanced at it and said, "What's the meaning of the row of prison cars in the back?"

Li Yandao: "These are the thieves who wanted to seize the city in Liangzhou. They said that Zanpu ordered them. I don't believe it. I suspect that some thieves are trying to provoke the relationship between the two countries. So I brought them together. How to deal with this group of people? We also need to listen to Zamp's opinion."

Bren Zanyan subconsciously rode forward, watching Jiaoer and others being locked in the prison car, the unbearable memory immediately reappeared in his mind.

When he was sent to the Tang Dynasty, his Tubo envoys followed behind the prison car where Liangzhou spies were detained. When they entered Chang'an, they saw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables smashing in front of them, making them seem to be taken to the execution ground.

Now that the miraculous combination of the envoys and the prison car has reappeared, Brun Zanren couldn't help being angry: "Li Yuanfang, don't bully people too much!"

Li Yandao: "Emissary of Gar, don't worry, we are asking Zanpu for clarification, and we have no intention of questioning! How about this, as a show of friendship, if the envoy of Gar can guarantee these people with full power, I will let them go when they arrive at King Tuyuhun's tent." kill them!"

Bren Zanren's pupils contracted, and he suffered a lot, subconsciously rebuffed: "That's unnecessary..."

Li Yan smiled and said, "It seems that the Gar envoy has become more reasonable after returning home."

He waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Everyone is on the lookout, don't let this bastard escape and tarnish Zanpu's reputation!"

Prison cars passed by, Bren Zanren's face was blue and white.

Originally thought that this exchange of status between the two parties would make everything different...

But why, there is a feeling that I am still in Datang?
