Chapter 1104: Doubt
On the fifth day, after arranging the affairs of Wuwei, he led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to Dafeichuan, and met with the soldiers and horses there, Yan Fei stayed behind to guard Wuwei, and Yan Lu led 5,000 troops to guard grain and grass, and was seriously the vanguard of the front of the army.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin's soldiers and horses had already left Chang'an City, and for a while, the eyes of the world looked at Tubo, and this nascent regime dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty, which had to be said that even for this boldness, the people of the world did not dare to underestimate Tubo. According to the information from the main temple of Songzhou Chuan, Songtsen Gampo led a large army to attack Li Chengzong's camp, and the battle was very fierce, whether it was the Tubo army or the Tang army, the fight was very cruel, and there were countless casualties on both sides.
Although the Tang army occupies a favorable position, but the Tubo people are extremely fierce, there are many people, the Tang army is very hard to defend, fortunately Zhang Zhenzhou is experienced, the Sichuan Temple is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but can block the crazy attack of the Tubo people.
On the defense line of the Sichuan Temple, Li Chengzong was wearing armor, and the armor was full of blood, and the war was fought to this point, even Li Chengzong himself went to the battlefield himself, but his martial arts were not bad, and there were a lot of guards around him, and he couldn't hurt his body. His face was a little immature, but after a fight, his face had a more mature appearance. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, a trace of solemnity was revealed.
"Brother-in-law, no wonder my father used to be always mine, although he had some martial arts, but his offensive strength was not strong, just because he had never been on the battlefield, and now I know that the place to exercise himself is not on the martial arts training ground, but on the battlefield." In the early morning, there is still some coolness on the main temple of Sichuan, but when the mountain wind blows, there is a bloody atmosphere. For all this, Li Chengzong didn't care, he was used to this kind of atmosphere.
"Your Highness, when you practice martial arts, you should only strengthen your body and increase your physique, so that you can handle more government affairs in the future. This kind of conquest of the territory should be handed over to a military future like Chen. Qin Huaiyu found a stone and sat down, and said with a smile: "Father often said that it is the sin of those of them who are courtiers to let the charge go into battle. ”
"Brother-in-law, my father actually likes to fight on the battlefield, far more than being an emperor." Li Chengzong laughed and said, "A real man should fight on the battlefield and solve the enemy on the battlefield." It's just that after this battle, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to lead the battle. Father is brave, those enemies in the world have been wiped out by my father, where is the time for me to make a move. ”
"Although the war is very good and can help us make contributions, but Your Highness, no matter when, the people of the world are the unlucky ones in the end of the war. Fighting always involves death. Qin Huaiyu glanced at Li Chengzong deeply and said, "As a general, I want war, but I don't want war. ”
After Li Chengzong heard this, his face turned straight, he stood up, and arched his hand towards Qin Huaiyu and said, "Chengzong is presumptuous, thank you brother-in-law for reminding me." ”
Qin Huaiyu hurriedly excused himself and said: "The last general is just a little superficial, Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, Your Highness is famous, and the extremely scholars of the Wude Hall are all His Highness's teachers, even if Your Highness doesn't know these things now, you will definitely know them in the future." The last general is just saying it in advance now. ”
"Scholars only know how to start a war lightly, say that they will die if they are warlike, and so on, they advocate educating sentient beings, but they don't know the truth that forgetting war will be dangerous." Li Chengzong shook his head, and finally pointed to the Tubo camp at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you say is going on with this Songtsan Gampo?" Did he really think that his soldiers and horses would be able to conquer the Central Plains? He himself does not have enough soldiers and horses, but he also has to stabilize the country, and bring more than 200,000 horses in one go, will he really fight a decisive battle with my Datang? ”
"The last general also suspects this matter, Tubo Songtsen Gampo is rumored to be a powerful figure, he unified the entire Tubo at a young age, such a person is definitely not a simple character, according to reason, such a person will not make this kind of mistake, the last general always feels that there are other reasons behind this matter." Qin Huaiyu hesitated for a while and said.
"Go, please come to Mr. Fang and Mr. Cen." Li Chengzong thought for a while and said to the soldiers beside him. He also felt that this matter was probably not simple, but he lacked experience and didn't know what the conspiracy was behind it, but he believed that the two teachers around him must know.
After half a ring, I saw Cen Wenwen and Fang Xuanling hurrying over, the two of them saluted Li Chengzong, and then found a Mazha to sit down, and Li Chengzong hurriedly told the matter.
Cen Wenwen and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, only to hear Cen Wenwen arch his hand and say: "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, in fact, the minister also has speculation about this matter, but the stakes are very important, and he has never dared to say it." ”
"Oh, for what reason?" Li Chengzong's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that he had just brought it up here, and there was news from Cen Wenwen's side, and he looked at Cen Wenwen in surprise for a while, even Fang Xuanling's eyes also showed surprise.
"In the northwest, the minister thinks that the main purpose of Tubo's action is definitely not aimed at my Songzhou or Bashu, the main purpose is probably for the northwest, the northwest land, my dynasty only has 100,000 troops, but there are many foreign races in the northwest, these years, the relationship between the Han people and the aliens is not good, a little provocation, can set off a storm, the northwest land, the use of soldiers is complicated, it is not good for a few years, my dynasty will be dragged in the northwest, perennial war, soldiers are tired, and at that time, Tubo took the opportunity to enter the northwest and occupy my northwest, It's not impossible. ”
"Impossible, there is Wuwei County Duke in the northwest, and 100,000 troops in Dafeichuan, how can those alien races move, and they don't have the courage." Li Chengzong immediately objected.
Cen Wenwen's mouth opened when he heard this, and finally closed it again, as if he didn't dare to say anything, but he was clearly seen by Li Chengzong, his face changed, and he said: "Mr. Cen, Duke Wuwei is a student of his father, and he is loyal to his father. There are some things that cannot be speculated on. ”
"Yes." The corners of Cen Wenwen's mouth showed a hint of bitterness.
"Your Highness, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, at this time, you can't take chances at any time, what if that's the case?" Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while and said.
"What's the matter, Mr. Fang also suspects the Duke of Wuwei?" Li Chengzong said with a slight dissatisfaction.
"The minister is not worried about the Duke of Wuwei, but worried about those alien races, if the Duke of Wuwei County leads the army to attack Dafeichuan, there will be no soldiers in the northwest, at this time the alien race suddenly rebelled, how is it good?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say: "The Duke of Wuwei County has been in the northwest for nearly ten years, which is too long. ”
"This?" Li Chengzong's face was stunned, and he suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
