The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

In fact, among the existing people in the Tang Dynasty, there are still many people who think that they can exchange a woman for peace. In their eyes, a woman is too insignificant. As long as they can exchange for ten years of peace on the border, then no matter what No matter what kind of princess the woman is, she has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

If accurate calculations are made using data, Li Xiang also thinks that their thoughts are normal. After all, one person can buy ten years of peace on the border. No one can say that this is a profitable business, but the problem is that there is Have you never thought about the psychology of ordinary people?

Once a marriage can solve the problem, then everyone will only think about the marriage. As for the matter of war, no one will consider it at all. This is an extremely dangerous thing for a country and a nation.

So from now on, Li Xiang must change everyone's minds, that is, the road to marriage will not work. All our border crises must be resolved by fighting. Only peace achieved can last longer. Only with time can Datang go further.

Lu Dongzan's mind was running rapidly. He was thinking about how to deal with Li Xiang's aggressiveness, but in the end he couldn't find any way. It would be very difficult to hit Li Shimin in the face in the Tang Dynasty court. It may cause a huge war, and Lu Dongzan cannot bear this responsibility.

The Tang Dynasty and Tubo were both big countries. If their vital interests were not harmed, then these two countries would not easily enter the war, because once the war started, it would not be a small-scale war, and it might make the two countries The foundation of the country was shaken, and it was possible that their ruler would step down. Therefore, after repeated consideration, Lu Dongzan could only temporarily give up on this issue. Of course, he would not let the ten princesses of Tubo come to the country. Don, just put it aside for now.

"In that case, let's listen to His Highness first. When we return to the guild hall, we can edit a book and send it back to Tubo, and then we can make plans."

Lu Dongzan gave in to this matter, and Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. If Lu Dongzan had continued to threaten, then this war was inevitable. As the emperor of the most powerful era of the Tang Dynasty, how could he be What about threats from a foreign envoy?

It is said that fighting is easy, but it is not so easy to actually fight. Li Shimin has already distributed all the cattle, sheep and wealth brought back from Tuyuhun. The Tang Dynasty's treasury is now slightly richer, but that does not mean that As long as we can fight the war with the Tubo Kingdom, especially since the problem of soldiers having difficulty breathing has not been solved, the war in this case is half lost.

Since the first topic can no longer proceed, we have to start the second topic, which is about Tuyuhun.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our army has been assembled near the border between Tuyuhun and our country. As long as His Majesty the Emperor joins us in the attack on Tuyuhun, we will be able to destroy Tuyuhun in about two months at the latest, and you and I can fight in the border area Isn't it better to shake hands and talk than to have a Tuyuhun in the middle?"

Lu Dongzan adjusted very quickly. He didn't take advantage of Li Xiang just now, but he adjusted quickly and immediately moved on to the next topic.

The conflict between Datang and Tubo was that Datang was invincible, which gave Datang the illusion that our invincible army could not defeat Tubo. It also gave Tubo the illusion that Tubo thought they could defeat Datang. Army, both sides had different ideas under this illusion.

Tubo believed that after defeating Tuyuhun, they would have a springboard into the Central Plains. No matter how they divided Tuyuhun's land, they would be able to use this as a starting point, and then blow the clarion call to attack Chang'an City, and then seize the most fertile land in the world.

The Tang Dynasty thought that it could not allow Tuyuhun to perish. As long as Tuyuhun remained where it was, then if Tubo wanted to enter the Tang Dynasty, it would have to cross Tuyuhun first. This meant that we still had a line of insurance. In fact, the Tang Dynasty was a little afraid of Tubo, otherwise history would not have allowed princesses to marry far away.

"The Tang Dynasty has just ended its war against Tuyuhun, and we have also made peace with Tuyuhun. If we send troops at this time, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, thus expressing his attitude towards this matter.

"If this is the case, I will no longer force it, but our country has formulated a three-way attack plan against Tuyuhun and will implement it in the near future."

Lu Dongzan's words caused the officials to start talking again, and his meaning was very obvious. If you are not willing to join us in fighting Tuyuhun, then we will fight it ourselves.

If Datang and Tuyuhun had not gone through a war, it would not have been easy for the Tubo Kingdom to destroy them based on Tuyuhun's strength alone. However, in this war, Tuyuhun's losses were really serious, especially the collapse of the third tribe. It makes the entire Tuyuhun seem to have lost confidence. Now, once the Tubo army goes north, it will be a war of annihilation for the entire Tuyuhun.

To put it bluntly, we are here to pick peaches. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought bloody battles before, and this led to the current situation. You are fighting against the third-rate Tuyuhun. Our hard work has brought convenience to you.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please wait..."

Just when everyone was helpless, Li Xiang stood up again.

We really don’t know how to stop them. You can only choose not to unite with them, but you can’t stop them from sending troops. If Tubo is much weaker than the Tang Dynasty, then they can still listen to what the Tang Dynasty says, but between the two countries The situation between the two countries is not much different. Maybe the Tang Dynasty is a little stronger, but the Tang Dynasty does not threaten others. Why should they listen to you? Now is indeed the best time to attack Tuyuhun.

"Your Highness, do you have any advice?"

Lu Dongzan said a little arrogantly, he had indeed suffered under Li Xiang just now, but now he doesn't know what else Li Xiang can do. Do you have the ability to prevent me from sending troops to Tubo?

"I don't take it seriously. I just have a confidential matter that I want to tell the Prime Minister, so as not to hurt the feelings between our two countries in the future."

When Li Xiang said this, even Li Shimin had a question mark on his forehead. Do we have any secret things that can hurt the feelings of the two countries? To put it more exaggeratedly, except for this superficial feeling, Datang Can we talk about feelings with Tubo? There have been various military confrontations between the two countries, and now they are in a tense state again. What a ghost of emotions!
