Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Lu Dongzan has been wanting to see Li Shimin recently, but all of them have been turned away, even the gate of the palace.

The 30 troops to the west of Songzhou were completely annihilated, and they were controlled in Chang'an City and could not leave. Li Shimin is as strong as he wants now, and he is not afraid to start a war with Tubo.

When the matter developed to such an extent, Lu Dongzan had no way to resist at all, and even began to envy Zhizhi. If he knew it would be like this, he shouldn't be so arrogant and domineering at the beginning, otherwise there is room for negotiation now.

Today Lu Dongzan was going to look for Li Daozong again, begging him to take him to see Li Shimin, but he couldn't find anyone, so he went to the gate of the palace, and was driven over without even being able to get close to the gate.

Back to the post house where he lived, Lu Dongzan was very anxious. If he couldn't go back, it would only become more and more dangerous for him to stay in Chang'an. Li Shimin would kill them at any time.

As soon as the door was closed, Lu Dongzan was thinking about how to persuade Li Shimin, but he heard an anxious voice from outside.

"General, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is here...you can't come in!"

"Go away!"

Cheng Chumo yelled angrily, kicked away the person blocking the way, and violently pushed open the door of Lu Dongzan's room.

After Li Chengqian and the others returned to Chang'an, the first thing they had to do was to go to Lu Dongzan to show off their victory and ridicule them by the way. At this time, the Tubo people did not dare to stop them.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Lu Dongzan smiled apologetically, "I don't know why your Highness came to look for me?"

Li Chengqian sat down at a random place, and said arrogantly: "I just came back from Songzhou, does Lu Dongzan envoy know what I saw?"

Just got back from Songzhou!

As soon as Lu Dongzan heard this sentence, he immediately understood what happened. The 30 people in Songzhou were killed by them, and now they are going to show off their power and mock them by the way.

This is pork heart with shrimps!

"May I ask what your highness saw?"

If it was a few days ago, Lu Dongzan would never have been so polite to a kid in his teens.

Now he can't be polite, Li Chengqian has the right to prevent him from going back to Tubo at any time.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I saw a military camp from an unknown country. It is said that there are as many as 30 troops, but there are corpses everywhere, and there are still dead bodies, missing hands and feet, and disemboweled. That scene, It was so sad, I couldn’t bear to watch it.”

Li Dejian added: "We heard that these people offended the gods and were punished. I wonder if you are from Tubo?"

Sure enough, he was here to laugh at himself, which is too ironic. Lu Dongzan twitched his mouth and forced his anger down: "It shouldn't be, our soldiers and horses in the west of Songzhou City have retreated long ago, so as not to hurt the harmony between our two countries. .”

"Fortunately not, because I let people throw those corpses into the deep mountains to feed the wild wolves. If so, it will really hurt the harmony between our two countries."

Li Chengqian continued to laugh and said, "How many wild wolves can be fed by the corpses of 30 people, does Lu Dongzan envoy know?"

Lu Dongzan trembled all over, and the clothes on his body would automatically move without wind. After suppressing it for a while, he suppressed all kinds of anger: "I don't know."

"I heard that you Tibetans are still going to marry our Tang princess?"

Chang Sun Chong also didn't want to let go of this opportunity, so he snorted coldly and said, "Will you marry now?"

Lu Dongzan quickly shook his head and denied: "No, I have already made it clear to His Majesty Datang that I will not think so again, but Your Highness, can you take me to meet His Majesty Datang? Apology."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Of course not. Didn't you Tubo want to start a war with us? Then we are enemies. Even if we kill you now, it seems to be fine."

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

Lu Dongzan immediately bowed his head.

Li Chengqian snorted softly: "Lu Dong praised the envoy, remember one sentence, don't underestimate our Tang Dynasty, otherwise you will regret it sometime."

After that, they kicked open the door and walked away swaggeringly.

Lu Dongzan pretended to send them out, and when he saw the people walking away, his face was livid and ugly.

A little kid dared to laugh at himself, how could Lu Dongzan endure it!

Outside the post house.

"readily!"

Cheng Chu laughed silently.

"Seeing Lu Dongzan deflated, I almost burst out laughing."

Yuchi Baolin said excitedly: "Are we going to face the saint next?"

Li Yi'an didn't go in with them to show off, and waited outside the door with the rest of the guards. Hearing this, he said: "Of course we want to enter the palace to face the saint, let's go!"

Soon they returned to Ganlu Hall, and Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw that they had come back intact.

"Your Majesty, we have fulfilled our mission this time."

Li Yi'an spoke first.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I have seen the results of your battles. You have worked hard this time. The crown prince will go back to the East Palace first."

"Ah! All right!"

Li Chengqian thought that he also had a reward, at least he had to praise himself in public, but he didn't expect to be called away directly.

Li Shimin said again: "Sir, do you think those hot air balloons can be used in the military on a large scale?"

He wanted to make these weapons the most powerful, especially after seeing the results in the battle against Tubo, his thoughts were even stronger.

If the army is equipped with such weapons in the future, Li Shimin feels that it will be easy to conquer the Eurasian continent.

After careful consideration, Li Yi'an said: "It's not ideal, because hot air balloons are highly dependent on the direction of the wind. If the wind direction is unfavorable, it is basically useless. If Your Majesty wants to develop new weapons, you can start with artillery."

That's a pity.

However, Li Shimin didn't continue to insist, and thought of another question, and asked again: "Sir, if our Tang soldiers go to Tubo, we will have dizziness, headaches and other problems. Why?"

"Your Majesty, I know this?"

Chang Sun Chong laughed and said, "My husband told us before that it was altitude sickness!"

"That's right, sir, and we have analyzed that our continent is high in the west and low in the east, and it is distributed in a ladder shape. Tubo is in the west, and the position is higher. The air in that place is thin, which will cause insufficient oxygen supply, so I feel dizzy. "

Cheng Chu silently agreed.

Sure enough, Mr. has a way, so he already knew about it.

Li Shimin was overjoyed. In this way, it would not be a problem to capture Tubo's Zanpu back. He asked again, "Sir, how can this be solved?"

However, Li Shimin didn't understand the lack of oxygen, the thin air, etc., anyway, it was very serious.

Li Yi'an smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. If the altitude sickness is not serious, you don't even need to take medicine. It will be fine when you get used to it. Your Majesty can secretly arrange for a troop to be stationed in Tubo. Within three days, the soldiers with good physiques will be able to get rid of it." able to adapt."

"It's that simple?"

Li Shimin was surprised.

But simple is best, and there are more things that can be operated.

After sending Li Yian and the others away, Li Shimin immediately called Li Jing over and asked him to arrange this matter. He would really make Tubo regret it in the future.
