Chapter 740 The Crusade Begins

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and drank the cup of tea on the table in one gulp.

Under Lu Dongzan's astonished gaze, he said again: "When writing letters, you hozen should be more careful. These days, your majesty has been suspicious of this king, and even sent someone to keep an eye on you and other Tubo. Envoy.

Just in case, you'd better go back to Tubo in person and inform Songtsan Gampo of this matter! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me!"

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan, who was planning to write a letter, shuddered subconsciously.

Only then did he realize that whether he was facing the King of Jin or the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was becoming more and more unsafe for the Tubo envoys to stay in Chang'an City.

If any party finds out that they are informers on the left and right, they will definitely be torn to pieces!
He even brought disaster on them in Tubo!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the envoy will leave Chang'an City directly after he resigns from Honglu Temple tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then got up directly and walked outside.

Under the astonished gaze of Lu Dongzan behind him, Li Xuan walked down the stairs and went directly to the backyard of the tea shop.

After getting into an ordinary carriage, the two identical carriages around quickly left the tea shop first.

Afterwards, Li Xuan's carriage slowly left the tea shop.

"King Jin is indeed cautious enough!"

Lu Dongzan nodded slowly, and then carefully observed the downstairs of the tea shop again. After finding no suspicious person, he left slowly.

It's just that what Lu Dongzan didn't know was.

The very cautious King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, after driving two streets in an ordinary carriage, directly got into a luxurious four-wheeled carriage and swaggered towards Lijiazhuang.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Dongzan went to Honglu Temple and asked for instructions to leave Chang'an and return to Tubo.

And Honglu Temple did not make things difficult for these envoys to leave the Tang Dynasty, and issued a guide, allowing them to leave.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan, who was overjoyed in his heart, took a few subordinates and hurried away that afternoon.

By the time Li Xuan got the news, it was already noon the next day.

"I didn't expect this Tubo hozen to run very fast!"

"Uncle Wang, these Tubo hozen may be afraid that the emperor will go to them again, and then you will find out!"

On the side, Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"What are you afraid of? Even if I discover it in person, as long as he thinks it's okay, I will pretend not to see it!" Li Xuan smiled teasingly.

"However, these Tubo hozen don't know that Uncle Wang will cooperate with him like this!"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness for the Tubo monkey when he saw his father and uncle team up to deceive that Tubo monkey.

Na Ludong praised Hozen and thought that he was the manipulator behind the scenes.

But he didn't know that he was the steel knife in the hands of the people, who would be sharpened by the most powerful Tang Jin King and Tang Emperor, and slashed fiercely at Tubo.

However, thinking of the ungratefulness and shamelessness of the Tubo hozen, Li Chengqian felt a burst of joy in his heart!
"This time, Chengqian was able to conquer Tuyuhun and expand the territory for our Tang Dynasty, all thanks to Uncle Wang's recommendation. Again, Chengqian is very grateful to Uncle Wang!"

"No need to be polite!"

Li Xuan smiled faintly, "This time you go out to fight Tuyuhun, it will be of great use!"

"I?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "If you want to deceive those hozens in Tubo this time, you need someone with a higher status than me in the army. In Datang, only Your Majesty is suitable for you.

If you don't go, His Majesty must go! "

"Father?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was shocked.

"Yes!"

Li Xuan sighed with emotion, "But how can His Majesty let His Majesty go to conquer a small country like Tuyuhun? Moreover, if something unexpected happens at that time, the freshly recovered vitality of the Tang Dynasty will be defeated again after the riots." In, exhausted!"

"So you, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, are the best choice to be the general manager of this army. It just so happens that you also intend to go on an expedition. This time, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong will assist you. Under cover, retreat safely to Datang!"

"So, no matter what, you are just watching from the sidelines this time, and you can't say anything at will, and you must obey Li Xiaogong and Li Jing's words in everything.

Otherwise, hundreds of soldiers will die because of your random words! "

"..."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but look stiff.

However, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty who was often bullied by Li Xuan, Li Chengqian had already adapted to his uncle Wang's poisonous mouth!
Soon, he bowed his hands to Li Xuan with a smile on his face.

"No matter what, it is thanks to Uncle Wang that Cheng Qian can come to the battlefield in person this time!"

Everything was clearly explained to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian didn't have any conflicts in his heart, so Li Xuan was relieved.

"The day after tomorrow, you will go on an expedition, is everything ready?"

"Report to Uncle Wang, everything is ready!"

Li Chengqian quickly replied.

"That's good!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, "Crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, peppers, and pumpkins in the village can also be taken back from the field?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, the crops in my farm can be almost harvested today. At the latest, they can be fully recovered tomorrow!"

Li Chengqian replied again.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan was relieved, "After taking it back, let the farmers of Zhuangzi start preparing to build glass greenhouses. At the same time, the fertilizers accumulated in your village will be filled into the fields as soon as possible to nourish the fields!"

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

Li Chengqian replied again.

Then, after talking about some details again, Li Chengqian said goodbye and left.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when the army set off.

As the commanders-in-chief of the various armies, Li Xuan, Li Chengqian, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others, with their respective parts, escorted tens of thousands of catties of various bombs, followed the wide concrete road, and arrived at Liangzhou City. Separately, they are going to receive their army.

at the same time.

With the gathering of armies from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun and Tubo also received news.

It's just that each responds differently.

Everyone in Tubo is full of excitement and anticipation.

As for Tuyuhun, who fell from above, he was terrified.

They never thought that the cold winter was about to come, and Datang would gather an army to attack them!
A group of nobles and generals of Tuyuhun, who were fighting for power and profit, were dumbfounded, and quickly stopped their internal fighting, gathered in the palace, and surrounded the young king Nuohebo.

After a heated argument.

All the Tuyuhun dignitaries and generals made a unanimous decision.

Return to Datang!

Among them, the young king Nuohebo's will is the strongest!
