Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1403
All the Tubo people were filled with righteous indignation. They were invincible on the plateau. They thought that the mighty Tang Dynasty could rival them, especially when they heard that the Tang Dynasty had destroyed Goguryeo like a catastrophe. It also shocked them. .

Although they are far away from Goguryeo, they also know that Goguryeo is far stronger than Tuyuhun.

However, in this battle, they defeated the Tang army, not only beheaded countless people, but even the head coach and deputy commander of the Tang Dynasty.

This made them re-evaluate the strength comparison between Tubo and Datang, and they came to the conclusion that although Datang was very rich, it was far less brave and skilled than their people.

Of course, they also understand that it is impossible to capture Datang with their current strength in Tubo.

That's why they want to make a truce with the Tang Dynasty, and use all their strength to attack the Western Regions to accumulate strength. One day, the iron cavalry will march eastward and sweep everything, occupying this most fertile land.

But I didn't expect Datang to refuse a truce, and even threatened to drive the Tubo people back to the plateau.

"I didn't expect the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to be so stubborn, and the people of the Tang Dynasty to be so ignorant. I am ashamed of my trust in Zanpu, and I failed to complete the task Zanpu gave me!" The Tubo envoy was angry and ashamed.

"It's not Ruben's fault, it's because the people of Datang are too self-sufficient, but it's nothing, so let's fight again. This time, we will beat the people of Datang again. Let's see how rampant the people of Datang are!"

"Yes, then fight again, defeat Datang fiercely, and then go to Datang as an envoy, and see if Datang dares to shout again!"

"That's right, since the Tang Dynasty is beyond self-control, then the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have self-knowledge until the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty understands how powerful we Tibetans are!"

The Tubo envoy said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that Duke Rong didn't speak for us. If that's the case, let's go back to Longyou as soon as possible, and bring back the news that the Emperor of Tang sent troops."

"It's rare to come to Tang Dynasty, it would be a pity not to bring some exquisite goods from Tang Dynasty back. Today and tomorrow, everyone will go out to sweep the goods in disguise, and leave for Longyou the day after tomorrow!"

Su Cheng walked out of the palace. Today's discussion lasted until noon, so everyone had lunch directly in the palace.

Walking out of the palace, Su Cheng couldn't help but look back. He was nostalgic for the delicious food in the palace, but was curious why Li Shimin kept Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong behind.

It must be because of the dispatch of troops, but why didn't he stay?

Doesn't he deserve to hear it?

With his current status, what else has to be kept a secret from him?

In the Palace of Liangyi, Li Shimin pondered and said, "It's really a good idea for Su Cheng to be the bait for this time's dispatch of troops. The only danger is that Su Cheng will be in danger."

"Of course, on the battlefield, everyone will be in danger."

"However, Su Cheng is still young after all, and he is a genius. He will be of great use to the court and the people in the future. I never want him to be in danger."

"In this expedition, of course I want to hit Tubo hard, but I don't want Su Cheng to be taken captive by the Tubo people. Otherwise, even if the entire army of Tubo is wiped out, it will not be able to make up for our loss."

"Of course, Su Cheng is both civil and military, and he is leading the Shenji Camp. The possibility of being captured by the Tubo people is extremely small, so I agreed to his proposal."

"I still hope that you understand the priorities. If you can only choose between severely injuring the Tubo people and Su Cheng, the answer is undoubtedly."

Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong also understand this truth. This time they did not seriously injure the Tubo people, and there is still a chance next time, but if Su Cheng is taken away, the loss will be great. It is not easy to attack the plateau and destroy Tubo .

Not to mention their relationship with Su Cheng, even considering Datang's interests, they had to bring Su Cheng back properly.

Li Ji respectfully said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers understand the priorities and must ensure that Su Cheng is fine."

Cheng Yaojin even patted his chest and assured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers not only guarantee that Su Cheng is fine, but also can wipe out all the soldiers and horses of Tubo!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, you go back and prepare well, I am waiting for your good news in Chang'an!"

In fact, he just gave instructions, because he felt that Su Cheng would not encounter any danger with Shenji Ying as the bait, otherwise he would not agree to let Su Cheng be the bait.

That is, with the presence of Shenjiying, I don't know if the Tubo people really dare to snatch Su Cheng.

Leaving the city without hesitation, Su Cheng suddenly thought of a problem. The women in the family hoped that he would not go out. How should he explain it now when he goes back?
Not only did he want to go on an expedition, but he also wanted to be a bait, and it was an idea he came up with himself.

What should I say this time?

For a moment, Su Cheng felt very headache.

Fortunately, Su Cheng didn't want to go home immediately, so he could give up thinking about these troublesome things for the time being.

"Let's go to Shenji Camp."

Now that the expedition is about to take place, of course Su Cheng has to tell the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion the news of the expedition as soon as possible, so that the soldiers can prepare for the expedition.

On the school field of the Shenji Battalion, the sound of crackling muskets could be heard endlessly, and the newly recruited soldiers were training intensively.

After returning from the Eastern Expedition, the Shenji Battalion began to expand. After making such great contributions in the Eastern Expedition, the Shenji Battalion proved the power of firearms with military exploits. It is no wonder that Li Shimin did not expand the Shenji Battalion.

After walking around the school grounds, Su Cheng couldn't help nodding his head slightly. Although it was only a few months, these new soldiers who entered the camp had already trained well.

Compared with cavalry and archers, musketeers have an advantage in that they can be quick.

Today's Shenji Camp is like a melting pot, new soldiers who enter the camp will be infected by the atmosphere of the Shenji Camp, and will soon be able to assimilate.

After strolling around, Su Cheng summoned a group of generals to go to the main tent of the Chinese army.

Su Cheng sat down on the commander-in-chief, and all the generals looked at him expectantly. The dispatch of troops should be settled, right?
Su Cheng looked around at the generals, and said straight to the point with a smile: "Get ready to go!"

Immediately, the entire Chinese military tent burst into cheers.

In the past two days, what everyone is looking forward to most is going to the expedition, and what they are most worried about is that their expectations will not be fulfilled. Now that they are finally going to go on an expedition, it is a dream come true. How can you not be excited?
"Grandpa, how did His Majesty arrange it?"

"Is the father-in-law the chief commander of the army?"

Immediately, the generals asked with concern.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "All of our Shenji Battalion are dispatched to Xinghai from Hezhou. The imperial court will store grain in Xinghai, and our Shenji Battalion will be stationed in Xinghai to protect the important food and grass."

The big tent that was still cheering suddenly fell silent. This is different from what they thought about going out.

They thought it was to defeat the Tubo people and sweep Tuyuhun, not to protect the food and grass.
