The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1770 Movements in the West

Qibi Heli and Ashina Simo took turns to garrison outside the city. Every day they would go to the city to see Xuan Shijing to report the situation in the army. Before the war started, these were trivial matters. That's it, the rest is no problem.

And Xuan Shijing also wrote a letter and sent it back to Chang'an, talking about the wool with the Engineering College. At the same time, Qibi Heli also wrote a letter and sent it back to the Tiele Department, asking them to take all the wool sheared this year. Keep it well, and after careful selection, Tang people will come to buy it.

After settling down in the Protectorate's Mansion, Xuan Shijing began to pay close attention to the news from the east and west of Datang, and the news on the northern grassland. They set off towards the grassland, and after arriving on the grassland, they spread out and inquired about the news. Usually, once they go out, they will come back in about fifteen days, and then there will be replacement scouts in the city who will continue to go out. Follow the news on the prairie to ensure that if there is any abnormal movement on the prairie, the Anbei Protectorate will know as soon as possible.

As time passed, Xuan Shijing received more and more news. Li Jing had already led the army to Longxi, and Tubo had not yet moved. Li Jing led the army to Longxi under the name of patrolling the frontier fortress. It can't be hidden, but with such a name, it can cover up many things, and leading troops so generously can more or less deter the Turks.

After all, Tubo suffered a great loss at the hands of the Great Tang Military God. Now, the military god has brought his troops to the frontier for a walk. Can the Tubo nobles not be nervous?
As for the east side, it is much more lively. Xue Rengui has already led the army to confront the rebels of Goguryeo and Baekje, because he knows the opponent's actions well. Up to now, he has fought more than ten times, big and small, and Xue Rengui has never lost a single battle. , almost defeated the two rebels, and then waited for the soldiers of Silla and Japan to set foot in Woongjin.

Once they stepped into Xiongjin's territory, Xue Rengui would attack them unceremoniously, even sending envoys to remind them.

The border is there quietly and still, if Silla or Wa soldiers step over, that is to invade the territory of Tang Dynasty, do not fight and wait for the New Year?

Cheng Chumo and Li Ke also led their troops from Chang'an to Xiongjin, joined forces with Xue Rengui, and were discussing the next move, while Liu Renyuan's navy had already stationed in Beisha City, and the next step was to go to Han In the ports near Hanzhou, if the navy arrives at the port of Hanzhou, they will be able to advance and attack, retreat and defend, and face Silla's army directly.

There is still no movement on the grassland, and the east is in full swing. The news of the Tang Dynasty's war with Silla and Japan in Xiongjin finally reached the ears of the Tubo people. Only then did the Tubo know that the army god brought 10,000+ troops to the frontiers What are you here for.

Feelings are not about walking around, they are coming to walk.

But even so, the nobles in Tubo still got their minds. Now in Tubo, Songtsan Gampo’s grandson is sitting in Zanpu’s seat. More than [-]% of the Tubo nobles think that this seat should not be occupied by such a child. Among them, [-]% of the people would recommend the bastard son of Songtsan Gampo to be the Zanpu. Of course, there is also the result of that bastard's management in Tubo for many years.

Originally thought that after Songtsan Gampo died, Zanpu's seat would fall on him, but his father still felt that his status as a bastard was not worthy of that seat, so he gave that seat to his nephew, that Bigger kid.

As long as that child is sitting in Zanpu's seat, isn't the power of the government in the hands of an outsider like Lu Dongzan?

Seeing that the internal contradictions in Tubo became more and more intense, Lu Dongzan still decided to divert the domestic contradictions through war. Although Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, is now leading the border between Tubo and Datang in Longxi, but fighting with Datang, the total It's much better than the Tubo people beating you to death at home, causing civil strife in Tubo, and the current political turmoil, right?

Through war, some of the nobles are consumed, and the rest will be cleaned up slowly.

This is what Lu Dongzan thought.

Therefore, when Songtsan Gampo's concubine approached Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan asked him to personally lead troops to fight Datang. If this war came back with a big victory, it proved that he was indeed capable of leading the entire Tubo, Najishi, let him be Zanpu, and Lu Dongzan, the prime minister, will not object, but if he loses, he will honestly assist his nephew, the grandson of Songtsan Gampo, who is now in Tubo The new Zamp.

Lu Dongzan has said so, so that's the only way to go, and there is no point in continuing this stalemate. Therefore, the nobles who support this bastard's superiority are excited.

Although the opponent is the military god of Datang, it is not impossible to fight. Anyway, the people of Datang can't fight on the plateau. They already have a huge advantage in this regard.

So just one word: fight!

After the fight, it was logical to take Zanpu's seat, and let the current brat Zanpu hurry up to make room.

Therefore, there was a fight in Longxi where it bordered Tubo.

There was a fight, but it was the same as how the Tang Dynasty fought with Tubo in the past. It was still a struggle between the two sides over the years. The Tubo people became more cautious, and Li Jing could only wait for the right time.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Li Jing planned to continue to try the method of luring the snake out of the hole. After discussing with Liu Rengui, Liu Rengui wrote to the court to invite Li Chengqian.

The problem lies in Liu Rengui's memorial. There is nothing wrong with Liu Rengui's memorial itself. What is problematic is Li Jingxuan, a minister in the court who has many disputes with Liu Rengui.

When Li Jingxuan was in the imperial court, he was the Minister of the Central Committee. After Liu Rengui's memorial was handed over, in the early court, the court officials discussed the feasibility of Liu Rengui's memorial, and Li Jingxuan stood up again.

It is still a memorial to refute Liu Rengui.

It's not just once or twice, the two always have disagreements, the two always fight against each other, and it's just like this, after a long time, Xuan Shijing wondered if Li Jingxuan was interested in Liu Rengui, and Liu Rengui was a proper one Straight men don't follow Li Jingxuan, so Li Jingxuan got worse?
Of course, this is just a hypothetical not very pure heart, what kind of sparks can be sparked by two old men who are about to be buried in the ground.

However, the fact that Li Jingxuan raged against Liu Rengui in the court still reached the ears of Liu Rengui who was on the front line.

As a result, the table in Liu Rengui's tent was overturned on the ground, and the things on the table were scattered all over the floor.
