The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Lu Dongzan came to the capital with a total of two things in mind. One was to ask for a princess for their Zanpu, and the other was to attack Tuyuhun.

Of course, these two things were decided six months ago. In the past six months, earth-shaking changes have taken place here, and I am afraid that these two things will not be able to fulfill his wishes.

Over the years, there have been many foreign envoys in Chang'an City, but Tubo is still different. Chang'an's intelligence department has been operating, and it is also known that Tubo is a very powerful country, and the Tang army is at war with Tubo. Our losses were considerable.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Tang generals, their army's chances of winning against the Tibetan army were too small. Li Xiang has studied this matter. It does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is insufficient, but it is a cognitive issue of the Tang army.

Whether facing the Turks or the Tuyuhun, the Tang army placed the cavalry in an important position. However, when facing the Tubo army, the cavalry could not play their role, especially when we had to enter the plateau to fight. It's too much of a test.

In this era, we still didn’t know what altitude sickness was, so Hou Junji once led his people to rush over, but was defeated by the Tubo people. This also left an indelible impression on all the generals, that is, the power of the Tang Dynasty The army was no match for the Tibetan army, and of course we were not afraid of them. It was just a small-scale border conflict at that time. If a fight really broke out, the generals of the Tang Dynasty would still be able to go into battle.

"What's there to say? We no longer implement the peace policy, we just reject them directly. As for the plan to attack Tuyuhun, do we, the Tang Dynasty, need them?"

When facing Tubo, many people in the Tang Dynasty did not like it. Cheng Yaojin said this directly. The plan you made six months ago may be of some benefit to us in the Tang Dynasty. Now We can take Tuyuhun by ourselves, do we want you to follow us and take advantage?

If the matter were that simple, Li Shimin wouldn't have called all these people. Looking at the expression on Li Shimin's face, one could tell that this matter might not be that simple.

"Lu Dongzan just mentioned that the Tubo army of 150,000 has arrived at the border of Tuyuhun."

Li Shimin said this helplessly. Although the Tang Dynasty did take huge advantage in the battle with Tuyuhun and enriched its treasury, many places in the Tang Dynasty have been in debt for a long time. For example, the compensation has not been paid yet. When I came back, the Ministry of Revenue had already arranged the money. If there was a conflict with Tubo, it would definitely be a protracted war. The current Tang Dynasty could not do that.

"What does he mean? Could it be that he wants to threaten Datang with force?"

General Qin Qiong also became angry. We just won the victory in Tuyuhun, and this guy has seen it. Now he is saying such things. This is not what a friendly country should say, not to mention that our Tang Dynasty is now at its peak. He Dare to say this, it means they don't take me, Datang, seriously.

"I don't think they have the courage, but Tubo is indeed a powerful country. If we don't take any action, they can destroy Tuyuhun alone."

Li Shimin said this to put gold on his face. People have already stood in front of you and said what they just said. This shows that they have the intention of threatening you with force.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

In such an occasion, if no one said anything, Li Xiang would basically not speak. The main reason was that there were no big mistakes in the direction of everyone's discussion. Li Xiang just sat and listened. Anyway, he was just a junior.

Fang Xuanling didn't speak. Seeing that everyone couldn't come up with a solution, he pulled Li Xiang out. Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji had a hundred intentions in their hearts, but facing the military generals of the imperial court Sometimes, they may quarrel, but if certain words come out of Li Xiang's mouth, things will be different. After all, Li Xiang is also a member of the generals, but at the same time he can also see Know the big picture.

"What aspect is the Prime Minister talking about?"

Li Xiang is pretending to be stupid on purpose. You can clearly talk to yourselves, but you have to kick me out.

"The purpose of Lu Dongzan."

Fang Xuanling also cherished words like gold, but she could definitely express her meaning clearly. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin believed in Li Xiang very much, so they both looked at Li Xiang.

This made Li Shimin a little uncomfortable. He was the core of these generals back then, but now we have just fought one battle, and my two generals have been won over?

"emperor?"

Li Xiang did not answer directly, but looked up at his grandfather. This detail is very important. If you answer directly, you will be regarded as a courtier. If something happens, then You need to take responsibility, but if the emperor nods, even if he says something wrong, he can't argue with you as a child.

"Tell me, you are always full of ideas."

The emperor was unwilling to expand Li Xiang's influence, and he did not hesitate to make Li Xiang and the King of Wu enemies by establishing a queen. But sometimes this kid must be used. Who makes this kid a useful person?

"If my grandson's guess is correct, Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an and asked to marry a princess. Firstly, it was his mission, and secondly, he wanted to show off that his country of Tubo was different from other countries. I, the Tang Dynasty, would give him a license A back door."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the people present immediately divided into two groups. One group was Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. They widened their eyes and couldn't believe that Lu Dongzan still had such an idea. This was going to be trampled on. I am the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

The other group includes Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin. They are also speculating on this issue, but they dare not say it out. If we do, we are likely to be in a state of confrontation with Tubo. The two major The empire is in a confrontational state, which is a very dangerous thing, so it has to be said through Li Xiang's mouth.

"What about Tuyuhun? Are they just trying to feint or are they really going to fight?"

Cheng Yaojin raised the next question.

"Whether they are feinting or really going to fight, we cannot get involved. We will support Tuyuhun when necessary."

After Li Xiang said these words, the faces of Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were full of admiration. It is indeed a blessing for me, the Tang Dynasty, that a fourteen-year-old child can see this clearly...
