The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1754 The Imminent War

"Forget it, isn't it the way? When I think of it, send someone to deliver a letter to you." Xuan Shijing said helplessly.

Not to mention, if the Tang Dynasty really wants to fight, the engineering college will put a lot of effort into it. As for the engineering department, although most of the craftsmen are from the engineering college, Xuan Shijing doesn't want to deal with the people there. .

After you go, people will talk to you in an official style, who can stand it, it's fine in normal times, if there is a real fight, it's better to do something else if there is time for wrangling.

Li Tai is so narrow-minded.
Xuan Shijing understood what His Majesty Li Er meant, several ministers in the three provinces also understood what His Majesty Li Er meant, and Li Chengqian himself knew what his father meant, at least they were father and son, so there are some things that outsiders should not say, but father and son I am clear in my heart.

Therefore, even after Xuan Shijing returned to Zhuangzi, news about Tubo, Xiongjin and Wa Kingdom in Chang'an City continued to be sent to Xuan Shijing.

The meaning of this is obvious, that is, the prince needs Xuan Shijing's help.

It was the first time for Li Chengqian to face such an upcoming war without the intervention of His Majesty Li Er. It was also possible that the east and west would fight together and deal with three countries at the same time.

Although Silla is small, it should not be underestimated. Those who have followed Datang over the years have developed well, especially when Datang flattened Goguryeo and Baekje, Silla was on the side. Eat meat and drink soup.

Xuan Shijing felt that this was the place where Silla was so full that he didn't know how much he weighed, and he was so courageous that he dared to covet Woongjin.

Xuan Shijing really didn't think so much about this point. He didn't think about it. Now Silla is peaceful, with many people and a small place. It wants to develop, but it is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Where are you going, Wa country?Why not focus on Woongjin?

Therefore, when Silla has developed, if it wants to expand its territory, it will definitely have friction with Datang, just like the second Goguryeo.

Otherwise, the previous population of 450 million in Goguryeo was supported by that little place on the island?That's why Goguryeo continued to erode the territory of Datang.

Judging from the steady stream of news, Silla and Wa are already wearing a pair of pants, and the Emperor Qiming has settled the domestic disputes, and with his expanding ambitions, he also wants to use a knife against Datang.

If the female emperor can be successfully restored, a prince of the middle brother is not worth mentioning to her. Otherwise, how could she sit on the emperor's seat again, instead of the prince of the middle brother succeeding to the throne?
After the death of Songtsan Gampo, the internal conflicts in Tubo also intensified. Earlier, Lu Dongzan had an excuse to procrastinate, saying that everything would be discussed after the funeral of Songtsan Gampo and the succession of the new Zanpu. Now There is no excuse for procrastination. If you want to divert the conflict, you can only fight. By fighting, send all the Tubo nobles who opposed him to the battlefield. As for whether they live or die, Lu Dongzan doesn't care. On the one hand, he killed and disabled his political opponents by fighting, and on the other hand, he gained benefits from the war. When he got enough benefits from it and didn't want to fight, he sent people to the Tang Dynasty to seek peace and put all the disasters behind him. The origins are all thrown on the defeated nobles.

To put it bluntly, it is a dumping pot.

There are also benefits, and someone has taken the blame, and Lu Dongzan is also good at calculating.

"Xuan Gong, I heard that Silla and Wa have already started mobilizing troops." Liu Renyuan said.

Liu Renyuan was also summoned by Li Chengqian to enter the palace and ordered some things. Before leaving the palace, Li Chengqian also told Liu Renyuan that if there was anything to discuss, he could go to Xuan Shijing.

"But there hasn't been a fight yet, has it?" Xuan Shijing said, "No matter how much people move, if there is no fight, we can't have any too violent reaction here."

To be honest, sometimes Xuan Shijing really hates the words "teacher is famous". His intentions are obvious, but on Datang's side, no matter what he does, he has to do it secretly. Otherwise, it is "losing the demeanor of a big country."

"Then how should we deal with it?" Liu Renyuan asked.

Although Liu Renyuan is in the court now, his position was transferred half a month ago. He was in the court, but he was transferred to the Ministry of War, and he was still in charge of the navy.

"On Xiongjin's side, Xue Rengui knows everything he needs to know, and he will definitely take precautions. As for the Navy, he can only respond to changes with the same, always ready, and wait for His Highness the Crown Prince's order. It can be launched immediately." Xuan Shijing said: "Everything can only be prevented, and the official appointment for this war has not yet come down. Although the three provinces are discussing, there is no clear order issued. What we can do, Not many."

Everything is just a discussion, Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian are constantly discussing, Li Chengqian is discussing with the courtiers, the Ministry of War is discussing with Liu Renyuan, and Liu Ren is willing to discuss with Xuan Shijing.

If Xuan Shijing was in Chang'an now, he would not be able to secure his house in Daozhengfang, and would welcome guests from the Ministry of War every day.

This is something that can’t be helped. The older generation of generals can no longer lead the army at their age. Just like Cheng Yaojin, how old are they? The battlefield, what does that mean?It can only show that there is really no one in Datang.

There are only a few generals of the younger generation who can do it, and Xuan Shijing is the best among them.

Of course, if Hou Junji wanted to join this rank, then Hou Junji must be a senior.

But if you want to use Hou Junji, you have to be cautious, it has a "conviction", even if it is the prince's father-in-law, if the prince wants to use Hou Junji, the bigwigs in the three provinces will not agree.

"By the way, did the discussions come out in the three provinces?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Because of His Majesty Li Er's suggestion, the courtiers of the three provinces changed their previous style and became diligent and united in this matter.

If you don't help the prince at this juncture, be careful to take revenge on the prince in the future.

"There are some clues, but it's just a nomination. Duke Xuan is naturally among them. There is also Duke Lu's eldest son, General Cheng Chumo, who also proposed to His Highness King Wu, and some other young people in the army. Although Mr. Fang Yiai is now He is in the household department, but he is also included in this nomination, after all, he also came out of the army, and Mr. Fang Yiai himself is actually considered a warrior."

It can be regarded as a branch of the army, but Liu Ren wishes not to say it clearly.

"That's all?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"And Master Liu Rengui." Liu Renyuan said.
