Chapter 1401 Decoy
Setting a trap to lure the Tibetans into an ambush is a simple idea, but it is extremely difficult in practice.

The difficulty lies in how to lure the Tibetans into the trap.

That's why everyone was a little disappointed after hearing this, because they couldn't imagine anything that seemed to lure the Tibetans into an ambush, because the Tibetans were on the defensive side, and their Tang Dynasty was the offensive side.

Li Shimin pondered: "It is indeed a good idea to set up an ambush, but how to set up an ambush and how to lure the Tibetans into the ambush is the difficulty."

After all, it was the method proposed by Su Cheng, and Li Shimin did not outright veto it. Su Cheng still had to give him face.

Li Ji also nodded and said: "Of course setting up an ambush can seriously injure the Tubo people, but it is not easy to lure the Tubo people into an ambush."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "So, we need a bait, a bait that can make the Tibetans fall in love."

Everyone frowned even more when they heard this. What bait can make the Tibetans tempted?

Although Tubo is located on a high plateau, it is still a country, and gold, silver and jewelry will not be able to lure the Tubo people to take risks.

Songtsan Gampo has always wanted to marry Datang, so he couldn't choose a princess as bait, could he?
Seeing that everyone still looked pensive, Cheng Yaojin felt that everyone must be stupid. Since Su Cheng could come up with this idea, it meant that Su Cheng must have a target in mind.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "Su Cheng, if you have any ideas, please speak up!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized that Su Cheng had already made up his mind.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You kid, what the hell do you have in mind and why don't you tell me?"

Su Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "Tell me, who is the person Songtsan Gampo wants most in this world?"

Yuchi Gong scratched his head and said: "Songtsan Gampo has always wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he couldn't get it. You don't mean you want the princess to be a bait, right? Be careful that the empress will spank your ass!"

Cheng Yaojin yelled: "You can pretend to be a princess!"

Li Shimin said angrily after hearing this: "Using the princess as bait, do you want to lose my face? Besides, why would the majestic princess go to the northwest? It doesn't make sense at all."

Everyone couldn't help nodding when they heard this, not to mention the issue of shame, how could the princess go to the northwest for no reason?
Moreover, Songtsan Gampo wanted to marry Datang, not only because he admired the princess of Datang, but also because of political considerations, and even coveted the princess's dowry.

Therefore, even if the princess goes to the northwest, the Tubo people may not take the risk to snatch it.

Marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty means peace, and robbing the princess of the Tang Dynasty means endless war.

Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, what Songtsan Gampo wants most is not the princess of the Tang Dynasty."

"There is a man whose ingenuity and wisdom are unparalleled in the world, his talents are outstanding in martial arts, he can go to the sky and enter the sea, he can turn stones into gold, he can gather countless wealth with just a single idea, and he can create a world-famous weapon."

"Guess who is that person? Do you think he is the person Songtsan Gampo wants most? Do you think if he is used as bait, can he lure the Tibetans?"

After Su Cheng finished speaking, the entire Hall of Liangyi was silent.

Who is this person?

Is this still a guess?
Only halfway through, Li Shimin and the others realized that Su Cheng was talking about himself.

There is no one else in this world except Su Cheng for being talented, being outstanding in martial arts, going up to the sea, and turning stones into gold.

But these words did come from Su Cheng's mouth. Although they are all true, they just make people feel, um, shameless.

Well, Su Cheng, you are shameless.

Su Cheng looked around and found that everyone was staring blankly, with strange eyes. He felt very strange in his heart.

What's going on here?
Why don't you talk?
He felt that his idea was very good. After the Tubo envoys left at the Dachao meeting today, he had been thinking about how to severely injure the Tubo people. After thinking about it, he thought of this good idea in a flash.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very reliable. What does Su Cheng mean to a country?
It means becoming stronger and richer, because he has the secret recipe of glass and spirits, and any idea can bring countless wealth, because he can make firearms, and the power of firearms has long been known to the world.

When Lu Dongzan was an envoy, he kept encouraging him to go to Tubo, and his enthusiasm was much more important than marrying a princess.

In fact, Su Cheng didn't want to do such a thing as bait, after all, a gentleman doesn't stand behind a fence.

As long as Li Shimin and the others can come up with any perfect idea, Su Cheng will not come up with this idea.

Seeing Li Shimin, they didn't have a perfect idea, so he had no choice but to say this idea. In fact, he was also amused by the Tubo envoy's bravado.

It was nothing more than winning a battle, and they went to Chang'an to threaten them. This time, if Tubo is not hurt, and Tubo's courage is not broken, the relationship between Datang and Tubo will really be forever. There is no peace.

Su Cheng scratched his head and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that my idea is not good?"

In fact, when Su Cheng said it, although Li Shimin and the others felt that Su Cheng was shameless, they were also seriously thinking about Su Cheng's idea.

After careful consideration, they also had to admit that what Su Cheng said made sense.

Li Shimin thought to himself, if Su Cheng is not a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but a courtier of another country, and he can earn a huge amount of wealth with just one prescription, and can invent powerful weapons such as guns and artillery, then he will have to say anything. Take Su Cheng.

Even if he knew there was an ambush ahead, even if he knew the danger ahead, even if he sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he still had to give it a try.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted: "Su Cheng, don't you blushing? How can you say that about yourself?"

However, Su Cheng has such a thick skin. Now that he has said everything, how can he blush? He spread his hands and said innocently: "Isn't mine wrong?"

Li Jing, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji and others all laughed when they heard this, but they didn't say anything, because they felt that Su Cheng's idea was indeed very reliable, but could Su Cheng be a bait?
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Although it is shameless, what Su Cheng said is correct. Su Cheng is really the person Songtsan Gampo most wants. When Lu Dongzan was an envoy, he encouraged Su Cheng to go to Tibet. .”

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "I also think that Su Cheng's idea will work. If Su Cheng is used as a bait, it will definitely lure the Tibetans into the trap. But is it too dangerous for Su Cheng?"
