"It's a pity, I can't celebrate the New Year here, auxiliary, you just stay here and have a good year with the soldiers!" Li Xin finally rejected the suggestion of the eldest grandson Wuji, bringing one more person means that the speed will be reduced, this time Li Xin must be forced to march, get rid of those guards, it is difficult for someone to keep up with him.

"Yes." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded helplessly when he heard this. He wanted to know the current situation in the country, whether it was Chen Wang Li Chengji or someone else behind this matter, he wanted to find out, but unfortunately, the current weather determined that Li Xin could not take his eldest grandson Wuji back to Chang'an, or rather, even if there was no such weather, Li Xin would not take him away.

"Okay, let Luo Shixin go down and prepare!" Li Xin waved his hand and did not continue, letting the eldest grandson Wuji and the two retreat.

Looking at the backs of the two, Li Xin sighed slightly, although the eldest grandson Wuji is still loyal to himself, but now he is also thinking about his family, so he will lose his fair heart and put all his hopes on Li Chengzong, Li Xin is not a fool, the trap in the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xin can feel it. It's just that this is also human nature, Li Xin didn't say anything, but he was a little disappointed in the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty looks like you're going to go to Tibet again. Liaodong has only been pacified here, and if you go to Tubo again, I'm afraid that the pressure on the imperial court will be greater! Wei Yuancheng and the eldest grandson Wuji came out and couldn't help but say.

"It's not that simple to attack Tibet!" The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said: "Tubo is located on the plateau, occupies a favorable geographical position, the last time I seriously returned to the dynasty to report on my work, I once described in detail the situation of my own training, when the soldiers went to Tubo, there will be all kinds of discomfort, and even the situation of the dead, Your Majesty called it altitude sickness, with a serious army of 100,000 I am afraid it is not enough to eliminate Tubo, Your Majesty wants to select the elite, it will take more than half a year, it should wait until the year after tomorrow, the court can support it." ”

Although the eldest grandson Wuji had other things in mind, Wei Yuancheng answered seriously when he asked now. It's just that Wei Yuancheng approached the eldest grandson Wuji and said in a low voice: "Auxiliary, some things are the emperor's family affairs, and those of us who are courtiers can participate in them." As long as you are upright and don't get involved in it, you can be invincible! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Yuancheng, finally nodded, shook his head again, and said: "The Wei family is powerful, no matter which one becomes the emperor, he is very respectful to the Wei family, and no one will treat the Wei family well, but my eldest grandson is different." ”

"Not long after, Webster will no longer be the Webster of the year, and will be divided into three parts by the emperor, and they will be sealed in various places, and after a few years, where will there be the style of Chang'an Webster. I know that the division is not good for the family, but I really carry it out. Wei Yuancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. After the separation, the family will be divided, although it will get ten or even a hundred miles of land, but here, the imperial power is still high, and all the foundations of the family will not appear in the Central Plains, and how much can it affect the Central Plains?

"Forget it, forget it, let's go!" The eldest grandson Wuji was depressed in his heart, in the days when he was not in the imperial court, there were already people in the court who took action to deal with Li Chengzong, which made him very annoyed, and he couldn't wait to kill him now and kill those who dealt with Li Chengzong.

"That's right. Brother eldest grandson, His Royal Highness the King of Han is not young, this should be looking for a princess of Han, what does Brother Eldest Sun think? Wei Yuancheng walked a few steps and suddenly said.

"That's true, I don't know if Master Wei has anything to recommend?" The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up, looking at Wei Yuancheng, his eyes showed a strange color, he heard it, Wei Yuancheng wanted to marry, and he was also the king of Han Li Chengzong, he was showing his attitude to the eldest grandson Wuji. Merriam-Webster will not support any of the princes.

"There is a woman in my Wei family, the granddaughter of my brother, thirteen years old this year, she is still married, and she is a little beautiful, I don't know if she may serve His Royal Highness the King of Han?" Wei Yuancheng's eyes flickered, looking at the eldest grandson Wuji.

"I'll bring it up in front of the queen." The eldest grandson Wuji said without thinking about it. Wei Yuancheng said that the other party has some posture, which means that this woman's posture is definitely not good, otherwise, she will not take it out. Besides, even if the posture is worse, if Webster can join Li Chengzong's camp, it is a very cost-effective deal. If Princess Han doesn't succeed, she will be a side concubine, and I believe that Wei Yuancheng will not refuse.

"So there will be Master Lao." Wei Yuancheng suddenly showed a satisfied look.

On the third day of Li Xin, under the escort of Li Xuanba and others, he led a hundred elite cavalry out of Liaodong and headed towards Chang'an. Riding on the horse, he realized that he had passed the days of leading the army to fight on the battlefield, and also the days when the courtiers below calculated each other. Behind a small political incident, I don't know how many political forces are involved in this matter, and how many princes and ministers are involved. It can be guessed that in the days to come, the party struggle and the struggle for succession will become the mainstream of the court situation, and it is not something that can be controlled by saying that it is controlled. When it comes to family affection, Li Xin really doesn't have much confidence in himself.

Just when Li Xin was running around in the cold winter years, in the distant Tibet, a huge city slowly formed a prototype opposite Songzhou, although because of the heavy snow, the progress of the project was very slow, but on the huge construction site, there were still many people working. Among these people are Han Chinese and Tibetan people.

"Today I received a letter, the general can take a look." Lu Dongzan has been staying by Shang Nang's side, he is ready to wait for Li Xin's arrival here, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for Li Xin, but waited for another important person. He took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Shang Nang and said: "This is the news from our spy in Chang'an, the eldest son of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, leading 50,000 troops to inspect Songzhou. ”

"The Tang Emperor is very powerful, and his son is also very powerful, at this time, he actually inspected Songzhou, aren't you afraid that I will lead the army and destroy them?" Shang Nang's eyes flashed, and he said: "This is a good opportunity, if we can capture the son of the Tang Emperor, we will have an absolute advantage, not to mention harmony, even if it is to cede the territory, I am afraid that the Tang Emperor will have to agree!" ”

"Yes, that's exactly the case, not only the configuration of the soldiers and horses around the Han King, the names of the generals, but also the approximate marching map, which is somewhat interesting. What does the general think? Lu Dongzan showed a smile and said: "I heard that these Han people in the Central Plains are very smart, but in the same way, these people like to fight in the nest, and they can tell the whereabouts of the Han King, at least they are also people within the Tang Dynasty." I heard that the Tang Emperor has not canonized the crown prince until now, and his sons are probably waiting for this opportunity. ”

"Do you think we should do anything about this?" Shang Nang said: "Dealing with an army of 50,000, of course, we will lose some, but if we know the opponent's march route in advance, it is still very simple to deal with them." The losses won't be too much. Of course, you will get more. ”

"Naturally, you have to make a move, but you can't capture the Han King, the Tang Emperor is resolute and resolute, even if his son is in our hands, he will not agree to cede the land and make peace with the strategy, but if those soldiers are in hand, the Tang Emperor will be different. Moreover, the general didn't think that it would be better to send the king of Han back, tell him that we knew his march route a long time ago, and then let him go back, so that he could gain more things? At the very least, will the battle for the succession of the Tang Dynasty be more ferocious? ”

At any time, the battle for succession is very fierce, when Songtsen Gampo was young, his father was poisoned to death, and he was almost killed, this is the cruel battle for succession. Now that the Tang Dynasty is bigger, richer and more prosperous than Tibet, there will be more people vying for the throne and the struggle will be more cruel.

Lu Dongzan said that after capturing Li Chengzong, he let him go, just to make the Tang Dynasty weak in the internal fighting, and the strategy can not be described as ruthless, even Shang Nang couldn't help but nodded, compared to the one next to him, Shang Nang felt that he should be a benevolent person.

"Okay, just do what the adults want." Shang Nang did not refuse, because this was for the good of Tubo, as for whether Li Xin would be angry because of this, Shang Nang did not consider it, the geographical location of Tubo determined, Li Xin wanted to attack Tubo, and he would pay huge losses.

"Li Chengzong probably never imagined that his whereabouts have been mastered by us, tsk, even if it is a powerful enemy, if there is an internal problem, no matter how strong it is, it will be useless." Lu Dongzan sighed slightly, and said: "Songzhou City we have to attack again this time, this time we will capture all the people in Songzhou City, after Li Chengzong knows the news, he will definitely go day and night, this time is our opportunity, near Songzhou, there are many places that can be ambushed, as long as Li Chengzong comes in, it will be difficult to escape our ambush." Lu Dongzan laughed.

He decided to give Li Chengzong a heavy gift, when he was in Chang'an City, although the Tang Dynasty was still very polite to him, Lu Dongzan still felt that the Tang Dynasty was a kind of discrimination against Tibet, and their lofty faces still appeared in Lu Dongzan's mind, which made Lu Dongzan very angry, so he decided to take the risk and let the Tang Dynasty suffer a big loss, so that those civilized people in the Tang Dynasty could see the power of the barbarians.

"Since that's the case, I'll lead the army to go, hehe, these people of the Tang Dynasty are like this, we have ravaged Songzhou, and there are still people who come to Songzhou and want to occupy everything in Songzhou, these people are really greedy." Shang Nang tightened his belt and patted the armor on his body and said.

Although he did not attack Songzhou, everything in Songzhou was in his hands, although the current Songzhou was not as prosperous as Songzhou at the beginning, but the Tubo people attacked Songzhou, not only for the money inside, but more importantly for the people of Songzhou, what he needed was to plunder the resources of Songzhou. As long as there are people, Shang Nang thinks that he should go through this experience.

"The official is here to congratulate the old general on his victory." Lu Dongzan also showed a smile, he wanted to plan carefully, how to use the soldiers and horses in his hands to defeat Li Chengzong's 50,000 army, and then capture it alive in exchange for more benefits of the Tang Dynasty.

Songzhou City was robbed again, 30,000 Tubo troops captured Songzhou again, this time there were only more than 1,000 captured Tang people, but when it reached Li Chengzong's camp, Li Chengzong's face was still showing anger, the Tubo people were naked in the face, they led 50,000 troops, about to inspect Songzhou, and when they shocked Tubo, Shang Nang led the army again and plundered Songzhou, which was a contempt for Li Chengzong.

"Immediately speed up, within five days, we must rush to the city of Songzhou, this king wants to see, what kind of task is this Shang Nang, it is really bold, do you really think that Tubo is located on the plateau, and my Datang has nothing to do with him?" Li Chengzong's face was gloomy, and he walked around the big tent.

"Your Highness, you will not be angry and raise a teacher." Fang Xuanling glanced at Cen Wenwen, and seeing that the other party was silent, he couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, at this time, Shang Nang knew that His Highness would inspect Songzhou, and he would send troops to attack Songzhou and plunder the people of Songzhou, so he thought that this was not only contempt for my Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, he was attacking at this time, I am afraid that he had other plans, that is, he wanted His Highness to march immediately." Cen Wenwen sighed and hurriedly said.

"The two gentlemen mean that Shang Nang's main goal is against this king?" Li Chengzong suddenly realized at this time.

"How can a Songzhou be compared with His Royal Highness the King of Han. As long as the king of Han is captured, Tubo can get ten Songzhou, what does His Highness think? Cen Wenwen showed a smile and said, "If the minister is Shangnan, he will definitely find a way to capture His Highness, and then force His Majesty to give in." ”

"Hmph, he has made a good calculation, if this is the case, this king would rather die in battle than be captured alive by the enemy." Li Chengzong's eyes flashed with anger, who is he, he is the dignified Han King of the Tang Empire, he may become an emperor in the future, how can he be captured by the enemy, that will be his shame, but also the shame of the Tang Empire, even if he can save his life, he will miss the throne.

"So the minister thinks this is an opportunity, they calculate us, we can also calculate them." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness, Shang Nang definitely doesn't know this at this time, and the minister thinks that he can calculate it, and it can be regarded as avenging the people of Songzhou City. It was even possible to use captives to exchange the people of Songzhou with Tibet. Cen Wenwen agreed. (To be continued.) )
