"I heard that the emperor has issued an order to draft a draft for His Highness, congratulations to His Highness, congratulations to His Highness." Fang Xuanling smiled and bowed his hand to Li Chengzong and said: "Start a family, once Your Highness starts a family, you will be given a new mission by Your Majesty." ”

The gentleman laughed. The father is now young and strong, and the affairs of the court are naturally solved by the father, and the boy is just learning and learning after him. Li Chengzong said modestly. In fact, there are still some yearning in my heart, Li Xin's family education is stricter, in the people, Li Chengzong's age group, there are already people who have become biological children, these princes are not only strict in their study tasks, but also the palace maids who serve around them must abide by their duties, if anyone dares to seduce the prince, whether it is the prince or the palace maid, it is difficult to escape the big crime.

"Your Highness can have such thoughts, and the minister will be relieved." Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Chengzong deeply and said: "Your Highness must not only have the courage to do things, but more importantly, you must abide by your duty, if a person has no duty, no matter how high his status is, he will still be carried away by victory in the end." Although Your Majesty is wise and powerful, if Your Highness charges ahead, it is inevitable that there will be villains framing. ”

Li Chengzong nodded, he was actually not worried about Li Xin, but worried about other people, although he had ambitions in his heart, he was very honest in front of Li Xin, and he didn't dare to say it. is afraid of this, he is about to become the crown prince now, and there is still a lot of difference between the prince and the emperor. In history, in all dynasties, some princes just didn't handle their status well, and in the end they fell short, not only did they not become princes, but they were also killed by the emperor, and I don't know how many such things there are.

"I don't know if at this time, Lu Dongzan will pass the news of Shangsang's death to Songtsan Gampo, tsk, a generation of famous generals died in my Tang Dynasty like this. The king also felt sorry. Li Chengzong walked on the city wall, knocking on the dilapidated Songzhou City, but his eyes had already passed through the line of the Sichuan Temple, looking at the military camp in the distance.

After receiving the news that Shang Nang was killed in battle, Lu Dongzan immediately knew that things were not good, and not only did not attack, but took the initiative to withdraw his troops and give up all the territory he had occupied before. It made Li Chengzong not expect Lu Dongzan to be so decisive.

"The minister thought that Lu Dongzan would never give up like this, and even Songtsen Gampo would not give up." Cen Wenwen in the distance walked over and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that he should prepare early, although Songzhou City has been destroyed, but it can withstand one or two, the terrain of the Sichuan Temple is dangerous, and the minister can be used as a corner to resist the attack of the Turks." ”

"Sir, do you think the Tibetans will raise up a large army to attack Songzhou?" Li Chengzong said with some disbelief: "I once heard that Songtsen Gampo is younger than my father's emperor, and it has not been long since he unified the plateau, and there are still some opposition forces in the country, so do you attack my Songzhou and fight a decisive battle with my Central Plains?" ”

"It is precisely because we are strong in the Central Plains that we will fight a decisive battle, as long as we are defeated. can make those opposition forces in the country submit to him, so the minister is worried that Songtsen Gampo will definitely lead a large army to kill, and at this time, even the army has already set off. ”

Li Chengzong glanced at Fang Xuanling, saw Fang Xuanling nodded, and said, "I didn't expect this Songtsan Gampo to have some thoughts, tsk!" Aren't you afraid that his little family will be buried here like this, and then we will take the opportunity to attack the plateau. ”

After Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen listened, they immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly, where is the matter so simple, after the war against Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, in a short period of time, I am afraid it is unlikely to concentrate large-scale troops to conquer Tibet, at least, it is only after the return of those generals who conquered Goguryeo that it is the time to conquer Tibet.

"Those who are masters of the people, generally can't guess each other with the thoughts of normal people, Songtsen Gampo is the male lord of Tubo, and can unify the entire Tubo in the case of absolute disadvantage, which shows that this person is still a little capable, the minister thinks that this person can not be underestimated, not to mention, Shang Nang is his right-hand man, this person has died in battle, as the monarch Songtsen Gampo will definitely come to watch, Your Highness, can not be underestimated!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say.

Li Chengzong nodded and said: "Let Jinyiwei go deep into the territory of Tubo and check the situation in Tubo as much as possible. No matter how bad it is, it is necessary to let the serious harass the Tibetan from the northwest and force the other side to retreat. ”

Li Chengzong was a little self-aware, knowing that if Songtsen Gampo led the army to come, he would definitely not be his opponent, so he didn't want to sacrifice his banner and invite Li Xin to come in person.

"The minister immediately asked Jinyiwei to go as deep into Tubo as possible to investigate the situation." Cen Wenwen hurriedly said.

In fact, Cen Wenwen's guess was right, after Lu Dongzan spread the news of Shang Nang's death to Luo Xu, the first thing Songtsen Gampugan did was to lead an army of 200,000 to Songzhou to kill, whether it was to meet the Tang Dynasty army for a while, but also to show the people in the court his attitude of avenging Shang Nang. After several years of hard work, Songtsen Gampo has mastered the power of the whole Tibetan, and the courtiers under his command are also respectful, at this time, Songtsen Gampo in the name of avenging Shangnang, but also got the support of Tubo, the army of 200,000, the banner covers the sky and the sun to Songzhou.

In the territory of Tubo, only a hundred miles away from the Sichuan Temple, Lu Dongzan's army was stationed in Maoergai, and he was followed by his eldest son Zanxi Ruo Duobu, and the second son on Qinling came to the camp, both of them were young young men, born strong, but the age was about the same as Li Chengzong, as the son of Lu Dongzan, destined to be different from others, so he began to contact government affairs and military affairs very early.

"The 200,000 troops led by Zampu have already arrived, and I believe they will come here soon. Ay! Together, although we have an army of 250,000, it is not certain whether we can resist the attack of Datang. "Lu Dongzan has seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and he is a little bottomless in his heart.

"Father, our Tubo soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, are we still afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty?" Zan Xi Ruo Dobu said indifferently: "General Shang Nang only missed for a while, and this was the strategy of the Tang Army, otherwise, how could he suffer such a big defeat." ”

"Big brother, it is not unreasonable for the Tang Army to be able to unify the world, I heard that the leading figure on the other side is the son of the Tang Emperor, and even his son is so powerful, not to mention the Tang Emperor, if we attract the Tang Emperor's army, it will not be good." On Qinling, however, he expressed a different opinion, but it made Lu Dongzan look at each other.

He actually did not approve of using this kind of force to force the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess, although he also knew that Tubo needed the civilization of the Tang Dynasty, but after plundering Songzhou once, the Tang Dynasty immediately sent an army to come, and immediately knew the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, so he wrote to Songtsen Gampo to give up the threat of force, but unfortunately, Songtsan Gampo refused, he thought that he went to the Tang Dynasty to ask for relatives, but he suffered the insult of the Tang Dynasty, and he had to find the field, so there was a big war. From the perspective of effect, it is undoubtedly that Tubo suffered a big loss, and the famous general Shang Nang was killed under the city of Songzhou.

"Father, although you don't agree with Zampu's military action now, Zampu has already brought a large army here, and a big war is about to break out, even if you don't agree, there is nothing you can do?" Zansilo Dobu persuaded: "There are many villains around Zampu, if they talk about their father's rumors around Zampu, what should they do?" ”

"Zamp won't alienate me because of those rumors." Lu Dongzan said with confidence: "Actually, the best direction for us to attack is not to the east, but to the north, then to the south, and finally to the west, and when we control the territory and the Central Plains, we can attack the Central Plains." Li Xin has adopted a high-pressure policy in the Tuyuhun area for so many years, and his generals are very vigilant against the Tuyuhun people, and if they do not pay attention to it, there will be a large army attacking Tuyuhun, and the Tuyuhun people will not be able to make a living, this is the best opportunity to attack Tuyuhun, and I believe that the Tuyuhun people will definitely help us. ”

"What my father said is very true, Tuyuhun is far away from Chang'an, but it is very close to us, the Tang Dynasty is only 100,000 troops in the Western Regions, if we can unite Tuyuhun, we can annex the entire Western Regions, in this way, our chances will be much greater. If Datang wants to get the Western Regions, they will pay more, the child has studied, Datang has been fighting in the east and west over the years, and the treasury has been much empty, and it is probably impossible to maintain the war in the Western Regions. On Qinling's eyes flashed with ambition, and said: "As long as we are in the Western Regions, we will drag down the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and finally force Li Xin to withdraw his troops from the Western Regions, once we have the Western Regions, we will be able to control the golden road." Then expand along the Western Regions, the national strength has increased greatly, and you are afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not succeed? ”

On Qinling's speech is clear, layered, reasonable, Lu Dong looked at his son approvingly, his eldest son is ambitious and brave, but compared to the eldest son, he likes his second son on Qinling more, not only ambition, but more importantly, wisdom, when fighting, not only must be brave, wisdom is the most important, this point Qinling has inherited your own wit.

"Li Xin has a son named Li Chengzong, just opposite us, it was he who came up with a trick and killed General Shang Nang, this son is as cunning as a fox, I think you are similar to him, and you will definitely be the only one who can compete with him in the future." Lu Dongzan said to the Qin Ling: "But you can't underestimate the Han people, the wisdom of the Han people is unimaginable, only by learning the Han people, can we understand the Han people, and finally defeat the Han people." Do you remember? ”

"Yes, the kid remembers." On Qinling's slightly immature face showed a hint of joy, and it was more important than anything else to be recognized by Lu Dongzan.

"What you just said about Tuyuhun, I think it's a good idea, since Zampu led the army to come, presumably, if Li Xin gets the news, he will also lead the army to come, the big war may not happen, but we should also be prepared, you go to Tuyuhun in person, persuade those leaders, everyone to rise up against Li Xin. Tell them, Tuyuhun is still Tuyuhun, we will never covet half an inch of Tuyuhun's land, we only need the Western Regions, and everyone will deal with the attack of the Tang Dynasty together. Lu Dongzan decided to deal with the Tang Dynasty from another angle, and immediately agreed with the view of the Qin Ling.

"There is only one Han nation in Li Xinxin, and most people of other nationalities are harsh, and now Datang is very powerful, so no one dares to say anything, but if Datang is weakened, there will definitely be many people who oppose him." Lu Dongzan said with confidence: "The Great Sui was also very powerful back then, but within a few decades, it was replaced by Li Xin. Now we're going to do the same. ”

"If Li Xin sends a large army here, we will adopt guerrilla tactics, take advantage of the strong cavalry mobility, and take advantage of our familiarity with the local area, we can drag Li Xin's army into the quagmire, and over time, we can force Li Xin to abandon the northwest land." On Qinling, at a young age, he already understood the essence of war. directly formulated a policy of attacking Datang.

"Yes, that's a solution." Lu Dongzan nodded and said approvingly: "In a few years, you will be able to take charge on your own." When the time comes, let Zampu transfer you to the north to resist Serious, Serious is Li Xin's disciples, among some of his disciples, some have died in battle, and some people are unknown, the person with the highest title, but also the person with the greatest military achievements, he has been in the northwest for many years, and trained 100,000 soldiers and horses in Dafeichuan in the northwest, which should be specially used to deal with our Tubo people. It is like a sharp arrow stuck in our back, and if we want to defeat Li Xin, we must first deal with this 100,000 army. ”

"If his 100,000 army is destroyed, Li Xin may not be able to sleep at night." Zansiloda laughed. 、

"When the Zampu army arrives, Li Xin is afraid that he will also come in person, and we will see such an invincible killing god on the battlefield." Lu Dongzan sighed softly; "In the current situation, even if I oppose it, there is no way but to fight hard."

"If we can wipe out the 30,000 troops at the side of the Sichuan Temple, we may be able to change the current situation." On Qinling's eyes rolled, and said: "At least we can push our soldiers and horses to the front line of the Sichuan Temple, facing a dilapidated Songzhou City, it is not the opponent of our Tubo army at all, and when the time comes, even if Li Xin personally leads the army, it will be useless." ”

"It's not easy to wipe out the 30,000 army, when I fought against that Zhang Zhenzhou, the opponent's defense could be very powerful, and my Tubo warriors didn't know how many casualties there were, and they didn't attack the position of the Sichuan Temple." Lu Dongzan touched his beard and said.
