Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1402
Su Cheng's idea is indeed feasible, and the problem before everyone's eyes is Su Cheng's safety.

If Su Cheng is really taken captive by the Tubo people, the fun will be great, and the impact will be too great.

Not to mention the relationship between Su Cheng and the royal family, Su Cheng has a close relationship with all the nobles, and Su Cheng also has a great reputation among the people.

If Su Cheng is taken captive by the Tubo people, then Datang will definitely rescue Su Cheng at all costs, even if it is to launch a war to destroy Tubo!

Therefore, even Li Shimin couldn't help hesitating.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "I'm making bait, and I'm not going to deliver it alone. I'll take Shenjiying with me, then find a small town, set up artillery, and then set up muskets, and wait for the Tubo people to fight. I don't believe in Tubo. People can still attack the city with cannons and muskets."

After a flash of inspiration came up with the idea of ​​making bait, Su Cheng has been thinking about how to make bait safely. There is no doubt that he trusts the Shenjiying under his hands the most, or the artillery and muskets he invented. .

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding slightly when he heard this. He thought that Su Cheng was going to take a few thousand riders and wander around Tuyuhun to seduce the Tubo people and then lure the Tubo people into an ambush.

It turned out that Su Cheng didn't think so at all, but wanted to take the Shenji Battalion to garrison a small city, and then wait for the Tubo people to attack.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately felt relieved. He had a deep understanding of the power of muskets and cannons.

Although I have never used artillery and muskets to defend the city, just think about it, and you will know that artillery and muskets can definitely play a huge role in defending the city.

Li Ji nodded slightly and said: "If the city is defended, with the sharpness of the artillery and muskets, it may not be so easy for the Tubo people to break through the city!"

After weighing it in his heart, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Su Cheng's idea is good, it is indeed feasible! The question is which city to choose?"

Everyone's eyes are all on the map. Which city to choose really needs to be carefully considered. If the city you choose is too deep, it may bring too much danger to Su Cheng. If you choose a city that is too far behind, you are afraid The Tubo people dare not attack.

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, then stretched out his finger to the map and muttered, "How about leaving Hezhou in the west and heading to Xinghai?"

Li Jing nodded and said: "The minister also thinks it is very suitable to choose Xinghai!"

Li Ji and the others couldn't help nodding, they thought Xing Hai was very suitable just now.

The emperor and a group of generals agreed so much, so Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other civil servants naturally had no objection.

Wei Zheng murmured, "It's very appropriate that Xinghai is neither far nor near, but how can we let the Tubo people know that Duke Rong is stationed in Xinghai without being suspicious?"

Li Jing and Li Ji said in unison: "Garn grain!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's right, let Su Cheng station the food in Xinghai, so that the Tubo people won't be suspicious."

Storing food?Gathering grain and grass in Xinghai will put a heavier burden on the body. Su Cheng said with a smile: "The Tubo envoys have not left Chang'an yet. As long as the news of my expedition with the army is released, the Tubo people will naturally know. Since they If you want me so much, you will naturally pay attention.”

"It is impossible that among the Tuyuhun people who fled from Longyou, there are no spies from Tubo. When the army arrives in Longyou, it is not easy to release the news that I am stationed in Xinghai?"

"I'm afraid that if the news of my expedition with the army reaches Tubo, Songtsan Gampo will increase his troops!"

Li Jing shook his head and said: "Although Tubo is located on a high plateau, it has been expanding everywhere. This attack on Tuyuhun and resisting our attack should have taken away most of the troops that could be mobilized. Even if we increase troops, it will not increase much."

Li Shimin pondered: "Since we are going to set up an ambush around Xinghai, we should arrange it properly."

"It can be divided into three groups of soldiers and horses. One group of soldiers and horses is the main force to attack Tuyuhun King City, and then wait for the opportunity to turn back. The other group..."

A group of generals began to discuss how to set up an ambush, and each of them became more and more excited as they talked, and the discussion of sending troops finally made a critical progress.

"Li Ji led an army of [-] as the main force to attack Tuyuhun King City, waiting for an opportunity to turn back"

"Cheng Zhijie led an army of [-] in a detour to counter the main force and pretend to attack Tuyuhun King City."

"Yuchi Gong led an army of [-] to pretend to cut off Tuyuhun's rear..."

"Li Xiaogong went to Jiannan Road to sit in town, in case the Tubo people provoke some small clans to take the opportunity to make trouble!"

"Su Cheng led the Shenji Battalion with [-] troops as the chief general, and Xue Wanche as the deputy general with [-] infantry troops stationed in Xinghai City to store food..."

The Tubo envoys left the palace and returned to the Sifang Pavilion with gloomy faces. The surroundings of the Sifang Pavilion were still full of people.

"Tubo dog thief, dare to fight a certain one?"

"Aren't you Tubo people conceited and brave? Why don't you even dare to fight such an unknown soldier?"

"It turns out that Tibetans are so greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Tuban dog thief, let's go back to the plateau and be your shrinking turtle!"

"Hahaha!"

Although many rangers shouted and cursed wantonly, no one took the initiative to attack the Tubo envoy.

After all, the two armies did not kill the envoys before they fought. If they took the initiative to attack the Tubo envoys, it would be their fault for the people of Tang Dynasty.

However, if the Tubo people agreed to the challenge, it would not be considered that they were wronged by the Tang people.

Therefore, although they yelled and cursed, no one took the initiative to attack the Tubo envoys.

However, everyone is in a good mood today, because they found that the face of the Tubo envoy was quite ugly.

They also knew that the Tubo envoys had gone to attend the Great Court Meeting to see His Majesty, and since their faces were so ugly, they were obviously exhausted at the Great Court Meeting.

Although they don't know exactly what happened, they are happy as long as the Tubo envoys are deflated, and they are happy to see the Tubo envoys look ugly.

"Hey, you're back? Why does your face look darker than the bottom of the pot?" The soldier at the gate of the Sifang Pavilion laughed and held his waist knife.

Although they were just ordinary pawns, they didn't have any stage fright when facing Tubo's envoys, and they satirized as much as they wanted, without ambiguity at all.

The Tubo envoy's face became even darker when he heard this, but he just let out a cold snort and strode into the Sifang Pavilion.

"Ruben is back, what did the Emperor of Tang say?" The rest of the Tubo people immediately surrounded him.

The Tubo envoy winked and asked someone to close the door. This time he said angrily: "It's really unreasonable! The Emperor of Tang insisted on sending troops, and he didn't listen to my dissuasion at all!"

"The last battle was obviously a big victory for us Tubo, but it seemed that Tang Dynasty won. It was very tough to ask us Tubo to return to the plateau, otherwise we will drive us Tubo back to the plateau!"

The rest of the Tubo people couldn't help being furious after hearing this: "The people of Tang Dynasty are still so rampant after experiencing a big defeat just now!"
