Chapter 738 Lu Dongzan, this king wants to borrow the Tubo army

"The meaning of Xuanba?"

Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I was still worrying about how to coax the army of these Tubo hozen into flying ash with peace of mind! I didn't expect this Tubo hozen to cooperate so well!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"Xuanba wants to..."

At this moment, Li Shimin also seemed to understand something, his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, "Aren't these hozen just trying to use His Majesty to force me to rebel, or to turn against His Majesty? Then, I will follow the wish of these hozen!"

"Your Majesty, even if I am not the general manager of the Tuyuhun army this time, I should be the general manager of the road!"

"Xuanba wants to ask me for military power, and he doesn't hesitate to quarrel with me?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

"can!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly.

"If this is the case, then I will become suspicious of Xuan Ba, and I will definitely not let Xuan Ba ​​be the chief executive!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he continued.

"But, who is suitable for the chief executive?"

"Li Jing's status is not respected by me, and he can't be the chief executive!"

"That's exactly the reason, but it's all in Datang, unless I..."

As he said that, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in Li Shimin's eyes!
"Your Majesty, no!"

Li Xuan quickly said, "Now the Great Tang is suppressed by His Majesty alone. If His Majesty leaves Chang'an for too long, or if something happens to His Majesty, the Great Tang will inevitably be full of wars!"

"The meaning of Xuanba?" Li Shimin asked.

"Besides Your Majesty, there is one more person!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"who?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Prince!" Li Xuan replied.

"clever?"

Li Shimin was startled.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "As the crown prince, although Gao Ming's seniority is not as high as mine, his status is more respected than mine. Coincidentally, Gao Ming has never had any military exploits, nor has he ever really set out on an expedition. This time, perhaps it is the good time!"

"Also, last time Gao Ming didn't go with me to Goguryeo, he regretted it very much and was eager to lead the army to fight!"

"Your Majesty, my Great Tang established the country with martial arts. As the prince of the Great Tang, why do I have no military skills and no military exploits? Otherwise, how can I coerce the Great Tang and command the great Tang army in the future?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he also wants the prince Li Chengqian to be both civil and military, proficient in military affairs, and establish prestige in the army!
Li Xuan continued: "Plus, Your Majesty is now at the peak of his strength. If Gao Ming is crippled by training, His Majesty can train another prince from among the princes!"

"..."

Li Shimin couldn't help being speechless.

"Don't be upset, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan laughed awkwardly, and then said: "These are just my random guesses. After all, accidents will happen in everything. If His Majesty is not sure about Gao Ming this time, you can make Li Jing the deputy director of Gao Ming, or Li Ji and Gao Ming. Lee Hyo-gong can do it!

These generals are all people with rich experience in the Tang Dynasty battlefield. Whether it is arranging troops, attacking cities, or escaping, they all have a way, and they can completely protect Gao Ming.

Then you can teach Gao Ming one by one according to the actual situation on the battlefield! "

After listening, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"So, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong are the deputy managers, and Gao Ming is the chief manager!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted.

"Tomorrow, I will inform Yu Gaoming, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others about this matter!"

Li Shimin said.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "In the past few days, Your Majesty and I have been suspicious of each other and vying for power. Even after the expedition, the relationship between me and Your Majesty has not been eased!"

"It should be so..."

Afterwards, Li Shimin discussed some details with Li Xuan again, and when Li Shimin left Lijiazhuang, his whole face was full of anger.

As for Li Wei and the guards, they had already drawn out half of their steel knives.

Along the way, they were on guard all the way. No matter who they looked at, they all looked very much like assassins. The whole Chang'an City began to fall into a tense atmosphere.

then.

The next day, Li Shimin explained the matter to Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and Li Chengqian.

For these, no matter He Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, or Li Chengqian, everyone is fully willing.

Then, in the afternoon of that day, it was reported that His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was suspicious of King Jin!
What's more, those people still preached clearly, how did His Majesty suspect King Jin, and how did King Jin quarrel with His Majesty?It seems that they have seen all these with their own eyes?
Anyway, as soon as the news came out, half of the rich and powerful families in the entire Chang'an City were full of thoughts!
As for the remaining half of the nobles of the family, they were all full of doubts.

This matter is very strange!
However, Lu Dongzan, who didn't notice anything wrong, was extremely excited!
When Lu Dongzan heard the news just now, he was so excited that he directly drank a can of fine wine, making him dizzy.

In the end, Lu Dongzan still suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stayed obediently in the Honglu guest house, waiting for news from Li Xuan.

Day three.

Lu Dongzan got up early in the morning, as usual, left the Honglu guest house anxiously, and came to a tea shop in the West City.

I found a table by the window on the second floor, ordered a pot of Longjing tea, and two plates of dim sum, as if enjoying the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, slowly savoring them.

After an hour passed, Lu Dongzan seemed to notice something, looked up, and at some point, a figure appeared beside him.

He slightly arched his hands towards Lu Dongzan, "Vice Minister Lu, Your Majesty invites you to the private room on the third floor!"

"Trouble the general!"

Lu Dongzan looked happy, and followed the strong man directly to the third floor.

In a private room on the third floor, after Lu Dongzan and Li Xuan finished their meeting, Li Xuan did not put on airs, but spoke directly.

"Lu Dongzan, do you know why this king is looking for you?"

"This?"

Lu Dongzan was stunned, pretending to know nothing, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness to call the envoy here today, but what do you need the envoy for?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan snorted fiercely as if thinking of something bothering him.

Afterwards, he said in a low voice: "This king wants to seize a share of the foundation for himself. When will the Tubo army be recruited, and can we go down the mountain and conspire with this king?"

Lu Dong praised this, as if he finally understood something, his face changed slightly: "The king wants to be in Tuyuhun..."

Then, under Li Xuan's slight nod, his expression became excited again.

"Don't worry, your majesty, as long as your majesty gives an order, my Tubo army of 200,000 can be assembled within ten days!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan's face was slightly happy, "You can write to Songtsan Gambo that this king wants to borrow the Tubo army in a month's time!"
