The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 829 Su Baotong's Letter of War (fourth update)
Li Zhifeng rewarded Wu Yuanshuang in the Jinluan Hall, and bestowed many rewards.This brought bright smiles to the faces of the Wu family brothers.

Then Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "The emperor's brother Yan Wang contributed a lot to the pacification of the Shu king Li Ke this time. I am going to give the emperor a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of brocade. I don't know who is willing to go to Youzhou for me."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin came out of work and said, "Your Majesty, I, Cheng Yaojin, are used to running errands, so please leave the errands to me, Old Cheng."

Before Li Zhi could answer, Yuchi Gong also stood up and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen any of my grandsons for a long time, and I would like to ask you to entrust this mission to me. Let me also take a look at it by the way." See some grandchildren."

Hearing that Yu Chigong was going to Youzhou, Cheng Yaojin quit.So he opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, Duke E is busy with business, how can Chang'an City be separated from him. Let me, Cheng Yaojin, take a trip."

Immediately Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong started arguing, both wanting to go to Youzhou to make an order for Li Zhi.However, Li Zhi didn't know what the two of them were thinking, but Xu Maogong knew it well.

So Xu Maogong went out of work and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to let them go to Youzhou together, so that they won't argue and chatter endlessly."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Then I will trouble the two princes to go to Youzhou, and you must tell the emperor my heart."

In this way, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong received the imperial decree and prepared to leave for Youzhou in Jinri.This made Cheng Yaojin smile on his face.

At this time, the official Huangmen came to report.It is said that there are envoys from the Tubo state asking to see Li Zhi, and now they are waiting outside the Jinluan Hall.

Hearing that an envoy from the Tubo Kingdom was visiting, Li Zhi immediately ordered someone to announce that the envoy from the Tubo Kingdom had an audience.Not long after, the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom came to the Jinluan Hall.

However, the envoy did not salute when he saw Li Zhi, but said proudly, "I am ordered by the Marshal of my family to come here to challenge the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

Everyone never expected that the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom came to issue a letter of challenge.They couldn't help but let the crowd burn with anger, wishing they could tear this envoy into pieces right now.

Li Zhi ordered the eunuch to take the letter of war from the Tubo envoy.After opening it, Li Zhi couldn't help being furious.He slammed the tactics to the ground.

It turned out that what was written on the gauntlet was so rampant that Li Zhi was not taken seriously.This made Li Zhi so angry.

Li Zhi said to the envoy of Tubo: "What a small and arrogant foreign country, how dare to speak such nonsense. Today you are in this golden palace, reading the book of war and listening to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

"I'll also let you see if your arrogant words can scare you, my civil servants and military generals of the Tang Dynasty. When the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arrive, I will take care of you in Tubo."

The Tubo envoy had no fear, picked up the war book from the ground, and read it aloud.I just listened to the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom read aloud.

"Sweeping the Tang Dynasty and destroying the Kou Marshal Su, the grievances of the third generation must be avenged. There are millions of soldiers under his command, and he wants to destroy the Tang Dynasty and wipe out Kyushu. Don't be afraid of the war book until the day, and will never stop if you don't take Chang'an. Bow your head."

"Bold foreign envoys, dare to speak wild words. Believe it or not, you will be torn to pieces right now." Yu Chigong roared.

"Since ancient times, the two countries have not killed their envoys when they fight. Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to kill me as an envoy? This is enough to show that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is afraid." The Tubo envoy said with a big smile.

"The two countries are fighting each other without beheading the envoy, but if you talk nonsense and disrespect my lord, you deserve death. Come, push this arrogant person out, and cut me into pieces." Cheng Yaojin growled Said.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't say anything to stop him, the guards on both sides came up and dragged the Tubo envoy down.No matter how the Tubo envoy yelled, no one paid any attention to him.

The Tubo envoys were cut to pieces, but this did not solve the fundamental problem.It's just a sigh of relief from everyone.

So Xu Mao said openly: "Your Majesty, this small country of Tubo is so arrogant. Your Majesty should send troops to destroy it, otherwise we will lose our Great Tang Tianwei."

"I see that Marshal Su is mentioned in this letter of war, and he also said that he has enmity with Tang Dynasty for three generations. I don't know if everyone knows who this Marshal of the Tubo Kingdom is?" Li Zhi said.

"My Majesty, the Marshal of the Tubo Kingdom is called Su Baotong, and he is the grandson of the traitor Su Dingfang. I'm afraid he wants to avenge his grandfather by sending a letter to Tang this time." Xu Mao said openly.

"These rebellious officials and thieves are really endless. If that's the case, then I will send troops to destroy his Tubo kingdom, and let those arrogant foreigners know that my Great Tang Tianwei is something they can't afford to offend." Li Zhi said Said.

"Your Majesty, if you want to send troops to the Tubo Kingdom, you must choose a Marshal of the Three Armies. I feel that if Wu Yuanshuang can continue to be in command, then the Tubo Kingdom will be pacified." Wu Yuanqing said to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, when the first emperor was alive, he was once provoked by small foreign countries. Every time, the late emperor personally conquered them, and beat these arrogant small countries to their knees."

"That's why I feel that the emperor should also personally conquest this time. Only in this way can I fully demonstrate my Tang Tianwei." Xu Mao said openly to Li Zhi.

"What the military adviser said is very true. He ordered the Ministry of War to mobilize 50 troops within three months. In the spring of next year, I will personally conquer the Tubo Kingdom." Li Zhi said.

"Your Majesty, although the Emperor is personally driving this conquest, the three armies cannot live without a commander. Therefore, I also ask the Emperor to order Xue Rengui, king of Liao Dynasty, to enter Beijing and take command of Tubo Kingdom." Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

Although Wu Yuanqing recommended Wu Yuanshuang to Li Zhi, Li Zhi knew it all too well.Don't look at Wu Yuanshuang's triumphant return this time to pacify the king of Shu, Li Ke.

But when it comes to military exploits, it has nothing to do with Wu Yuanshuang.So it is naturally impossible for Li Zhi to let Wu Yuanshuang take charge again.

So he nodded and said: "Then trouble the military commander to go to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi, and declare the decree to Xue Rengui, the king of Pingliao, ordering him to go to Chang'an City to take over the commander-in-chief immediately."

When Wu Yuanqing heard that Li Zhi wanted to take the imperial conquest, he naturally did not dare to recommend his younger brother.Originally, Wu Yuanqing planned to let Li Tai send someone to act as the vanguard, just like Li Ke, the king of Shu, was going to be pacified.

At that time, Wu Yuanshuang will be able to take credit for nothing.But now that Li Zhiyu is personally on the expedition, things are quite different.So he stood aside and did not speak again.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Maogong got up and rushed to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi, and ordered Xue Rengui, king of Ping Liao Dynasty, to take over the commander-in-chief in Chang'an City.

But Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin got on the train to Youzhou together.But these two are not so peaceful.

On the train, Cheng Yaojin said to Yu Chigong: "I said big brother black, you didn't get too excited about what happened last time. At that time, it was only my old Cheng who was impatient that blew up your house."

"You don't care about villains, let's just let this matter go. What's the big deal, how about I build a house for you when I come back."

"You should prepare bricks, stones and wood, and rebuild your Duke Lu's mansion. I can repair my own house." Yu Chigong said mercilessly.
