When Yang Yue learned that the Tuyuhun envoy was coming, he was in the study with Lin Miaoyin, Xu Wennuo, and Ashina Shiya to sort out the defense of Tuyuhun City.

Suddenly, Wo Longsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, reported that Yang Yue waved the city defense map, and Lang smiled: "I haven't sent troops to Longyou yet, and the other party has taken the initiative to come."

Hearing this, Wo Longsheng respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, Tugu Hun wolf is ambitious, whenever the Tang Dynasty is weak, he often sends envoys to Chang'an, wanting to marry the Tang Dynasty, but he has been repeatedly rejected and unwilling.

This time, the envoys came, afraid that they would take the opportunity to marry Datang and extort money and grain from Datang.

At present, General Guo sent back news from Guazhou that Tuyuhun was secretly assembling troops, afraid of preparing to invade the Tang Dynasty with Longyou.

If the emperor does not agree to the other party's request, they will definitely take this opportunity to send troops to invade."

"Hmph, the Turks are embarrassed by the Tang Dynasty, even Tuguhun, Longyou, these cats and dogs dare to blackmail the Tang Dynasty, they are simply picking up dung with lanterns and looking for death?" Yang Yue smashed his iron fist on the desk, and said loudly: "Wolongsheng, find some fierce martial artists in the rivers and lakes, go to the post station, and give them a dismount."

"Your Majesty, will it be too abrupt to do this, so that Tuyuhun will take the lead in sending troops!" Wolongsheng was surprised when he heard this, and asked anxiously.

"Won't I?" Yang Yue shouted.

After half a year of recovery, Datang has spring tax and autumn tax into the warehouse, and a steady stream of grain is transported back from various roads.

The elite of the soldiers, the early sharpening of the knife Huo Huo, Ruolong right, Tugu Hun, flying and domineering, this time just cut off, as a gift for his succession to the throne for three years.

Seeing Yang Yue's strong attitude, Wolongsheng bowed slightly, bowed and withdrew from the study.

In the study, Xu Wennuo, Lin Miaoyin, and Ashina Shiya all looked at Yang Yue.

Yang Yue suddenly heard Wolongsheng's report, so he instructed the heroes of the rivers and lakes to beat the other party, which was unworthy of the emperor's demeanor.

"Your Majesty, give 30,000 elites to the concubines, and the concubines will personally go to Hexi to conquer Tuyuhun!" Ashina Shiya approached Yang Yue and said that at the beginning, she and Yang Yue ventured into Shanzhou in Longyou and killed the good general of Longyou, and now they still dare to lead troops to Tuyuhun to annihilate the other party.

"You... No way!"

Yang Yue vetoed Ashina Shiya's proposal, quickly flipped through the map, browsed in detail, and when he was young, he clenched his fists and said: "For hundreds of years, the Tang Dynasty has not destroyed Tuyuhun, which shows that the other party's strength is not bad, besides, after Tuyuhun has experienced glory, it can be seen that there are many capable people in the other tribe!"

Ashina Shiya rolled her eyes and Yang Yue was not entangled, and said: "Coming from Datang to Tuyuhun, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and it is becoming more and more difficult, it is easy for the other party to attack Datang, and Datang wants to recruit the other party to send troops from Hexi, which is a little difficult."

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun sent troops, Lai Suyuan of Longyou will send troops to assist, it is best to contain Tuyuhun and recapture Longyou first, at that time, the siege on three sides will definitely make Tuyuhun unbearable." Xu Wennuo proposed to Yang Yue.

Yang Yue chuckled, and when he was silent for a while, Long Yan was full of smiles, and said: "The cold winter snow covers the mountain, whether it is Longyou or Tuyuhun, send troops to invade, and in March and April of the next year, the court has enough time to transfer troops and send generals, and the New Year is approaching, so there is no need to deal with the other party's envoys for the time being."

Tuyuhun, Longyou is not worried, Yang Yue is worried about Tubo in the southwest.

At the beginning, when he had a detailed discussion with King Wu in Shu, he learned from King Wu that after the unification of Tibet, he had planned to advance eastward, but the enemy in the south sent troops and the two sides were fighting.

However, according to the habits of Tubo, after having enough strength, he would often invade the Tang Dynasty, and he was afraid that Tuyuhun would send troops and be secretly instigated by Tubo.

Therefore, before the army marches westward, it is bound to be the first to find out the movement of Tibet, plan and then move.

Xu Wennuo saw that Yang Yue had his own opinions, and she didn't say much, she understood Yang Yue's character, and in the face of a strong enemy, the other party would definitely not take the enemy lightly.

Once the decision is made to send troops, it is bound to kill, so that the opponent has no power to fight back.

The news of the arrival of the Tuyuhun envoy did not cause much ripple in Chang'an, however, soon the news came out in Chang'an City, where the Tuyuhun envoy was located, was attacked by gangsters, and almost all of the dozens of people in the group were knocked unconscious, and all the money and food they carried were robbed cleanly.

When the news broke, Chang'an was shocked.

The people did not discuss why the Tuyuhun envoy was attacked, but everyone was discussing who had the audacity to attack the foreign mission at the feet of the Son of Heaven and rob the other party of money and food.

With this, the representative of Tuyuhun's envoy immediately went to the Criminal Department, ordered the Criminal Department to strictly investigate, and after the Criminal Department filed the record, ordered the other party to return to the post station to wait, and if there was any news, it would be reported immediately.

was perfunctory by the officials of the criminal department, and the angry Tuguhun made the ministers jump like thunder.

It is not the first time he has led a mission to Datang, on the contrary, he has had four or five experiences, and he has always been treated with respect, even though the two sides have mutual suspicions, conflicts often break out on the border, and even big battles, but he has never beaten or robbed the envoys.

This time, he was ordered to come, all because of the lack of food in the tribe, hoping to extort tens of thousands of loads of grain in Datang when the tribe was stationed on the border between the two countries.

Unexpectedly, he has not met with the Tang Emperor so far, and was the first to be robbed and beaten.

Tuyuhun lost face, and the delegation became a lost dog.

In the palace, Yang Yue learned that the Tuyuhun delegation had been robbed and beaten, but he just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Since learning that the envoys of Tuyuhun were coming, he has sent spies to Shu quickly, so that the king of Wu secretly probed the movements of Tubo, and in addition, Yan Yuefeng, who had recovered from his injuries, had been sent in advance to lead his army westward with his army to Liangzhou with Wei Jiyan to secretly monitor Longyou.

Regardless of whether to take Xu Wennuo's suggestion in the future to conquer Tuyuhun or not, there is one thing, Xu Wennuo is right, before conquering Tuyuhun, take the lead in eliminating Lai Suyuan of Longyou, and the elite of the Tang Dynasty will have the opportunity to fight on three sides, killing Tuyuhun from all sides, so that the other party will be broken and stretched.

In addition, the army that captured Lai Suyuan in the future, if it surrenders allegiance, can assist the Tang Dynasty in the conquest of Tuyuhun.

These people live in the western highlands, are more adapted to the local environment, understand the local defense, and are definitely better at combat than the Tang army.

Militarily, after Yang Yue made initial adjustments, he quickly instructed the household secretary Wenrenyu to prepare money and grain.

He had a three-year non-aggression agreement with the Turks, and more than half a year had passed, so in two years, he had to disintegrate Longyou and Tuyuhun, and in the other two years, he had to accumulate enough food to fight the Turks.

Otherwise, after the elimination of Tuyuhun and Longyou in the future, the army has not yet rested, the food has not yet been gathered, and it will be very unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty if it is forced to fight against the Turks.

At the beginning, the sight of the Tang army wantonly killing the Turkic elite cavalry may have befallen the Tang army.

In addition, Yang Yue sent a letter to the south and Ye Qinghu, ordering the second general to lead his troops to speed up the offensive on Zhenjiang City and complete the eastern war as soon as possible.
