At the same time, when Ye Sanlang and their side were talking, Chang'an's side was not very peaceful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Daming Palace, the imperial study, Li Longji looked at a Tang soldier kneeling in front of his desk with a pale face, and it seemed that he was quite tired, because it was this person who rushed from Shibao City to Chang'an to report the military situation.

Li Longji's face was very bad, and it could be seen that he was almost angry now.

"What do you think, Gaun?" he asked.

Gao Weng is naturally the powerful inner supervisor Gao Lishi next to Li Longji, in many things, he likes to ask Gao Lishi first, after all, Gao Lishi has been with him for decades, and many things can figure out what he means, and then say his own opinion, which greatly affects his decision.

"According to the old slave, this Tubo Zampu has been raising troops in recent years, and it seems that he has already planned something, but because of the maneuvering of Princess Jincheng, there is not much contradiction, but after Princess Jincheng died of illness last year, this Tubo Zampu seems to be a little unscrupulous. This time, the Tibetan army sent to Dafeichuan, it is very likely that there is a plan, and I guess their next target should be Shibao City. ”

It seems that it turned out that Tubo sent troops to Dafeichuan, if this was put before March of the 17th year of Kaiyuan, this is probably nothing, before that Tubo and Datang have been fighting in full swing. However, in March of the 17th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Shuofang Jiedu surprised Li Wei, the king of Shigaraki, and attacked thousands of miles, and captured the important town of Shibao City under the unforeseen expectation of Tubo. Under internal and external pressure, Tubo sent a request for peace, so Li Longji sent Princess Jincheng into Tibet, and the two sides drew a boundary in the twenty-first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, except for occasional small frictions, there were few major movements.

Eight years have passed since Princess Jincheng passed away last year, and since then, something has not gone quite right.

However, Li Longji didn't pay attention to these, he lingered in the gentle township of ** beauty, and he hadn't been to court for a long time, and even some people and officials in private regarded him as a faint king. However, in matters related to his own power and national affairs, he is very sober, after all, he is also a generation of Ming Jun who created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, although he began to fall because of Yang Yuhuan, but he is a person, and it can only be said that it is a mixed bag.

So, when Colliers hurried into his dormitory and reported that he had an urgent military letter from Anthy, the nature of the original play with the beauties vanished, and he chuckled in his heart, and immediately ran to the imperial study and summoned the messenger. Only then did he learn that Tubo had sent 40,000 troops to Dafeichuan, which made him suddenly break out in a cold sweat. He suddenly remembered that whether it was Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Shuofang, or Longyou, they had not fought a large-scale battle with Tubo for many years, and if it weren't for the occasional friction with the surrounding tribes, perhaps the drill would have been a little wasted. Thinking about the government soldiers in the interior of the Central Plains, he actually knows very well in his heart that the government military system in the interior of the Central Plains has collapsed, although there are one million male soldiers in name, but now it is estimated that there are only 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people with low combat effectiveness.

"Immediately order, let Longyou and Shuo Fang step up their training, if they feel that it is not enough, order Niu Xianke and Zhang Zhongliang to expand the army by 50,000, and allow them to expand the army......" He thought for a moment, and then said: "Tell the two of them, act at the opportunity, and if there is any change in Tibet, allow them to send troops." ”

Li Longji's move is indeed good, he knows that these festival envoys have private troops in private, and it is precisely because of this that he changes these festival envoys every once in a while, although he gave Niu Xianke and Zhang Zhongliang 50,000 places to expand the army, but did not make any effort, this is a means to test the two of them. "Yes. A response rang out in the room, and then vanished.

Gao Lishi and the messenger knew that it should be the guards beside Li Longji, all of whom were masters of martial arts, and this was just the time to follow him on weekdays, in this palace, there were actually many masters of cultivating the truth, if there was really any situation, then they would make a move.

"Go down, and I'll reward you in a few days." Li Longji said.

The messenger kneeling on the ground nodded, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and quickly got up and exited the imperial study.

Li Longji pressed his head with a little headache, now not only the Tuyuhun, Khitan and Xi tribes are ready to move, but even Tubo, which has been quiet for several years, has even sent troops to Dafeichuan in a vain attempt to get their hands on Shibao City?

Although the military system of the governments in the Central Plains has collapsed, the real combat troops of the Tang Dynasty, but the border army, those guys are really licking blood at the edge of the knife, crawling out of the pile of dead people, and every combat power can catch up with several government soldiers. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of border troops in various towns in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of the number of border passes that need to be guarded, if something really happens, he can also recruit 200,000 border soldiers who can fight well. Especially the most famous of them, the Anxi Mo Sword Army and the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou, can make any enemy of the Tang Dynasty fearful.

It's just that in that case, the consumption of the treasury can't keep up at all, and maybe he has to collect heavy taxes to make up enough food and money for the troops, but he also knows that today not only is the government military system collapsed, but there is even a big cancer in his heart, that is, land annexation, because of this, the life of the people is very difficult, if heavy taxes are levied, I am afraid that before those tribes attack, the Tang Dynasty will collapse from the inside.

However, now, it can only be the right medicine, if Tubo does not move, then it will be fine, but if Tubo really sends troops to Shibao City, then he will fight so that he can't turn over!

Although it seemed that Li Longji's face was very bad, Gao Lishi hesitated behind him, lowered his head, and said in his ear: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid things don't seem so simple. ”

Li Longji's eyebrows raised, he knew that his intelligence department was in the hands of Gao Lishi, and when he said this, he probably knew some very important news.

"Gao Weng, let's say, why hide it?"

"It is said that the Kunlun Daguang Palace sent an envoy and many followers to follow the Tubo into Dafeichuan, and then disappeared without a trace, and it is said that it is very likely that they wanted to secretly run to the Central Plains to preach. ”

"Envoy, they actually sent an envoy?!" Li Longji sighed.

Kunlun Daguang Palace, one of the five major forces, actually has many years of grievances with the Li Tang court, and the most important grievance lies in attitude. As early as many years ago, the Central Plains Imperial Court at that time declared the Great Guangming Palace to be a cult, and attacked the Great Guangming Palace in all aspects, and even destroyed many branch halls of the Great Guangming Palace, resulting in a deep hostility between the two sides.

Over the years, the Great Guangming Palace has only often sent its congregants to preach in the Central Plains, and they dare not make too many moves. In fact, as a first-class force, the lineup of strong men in the Great Bright Palace is also terrifying, with the basic management, with five Mingzi, two envoys on the left and right, many Dharma protectors, elders, and the supreme sect king. It is said that the general protector is a heavenly immortal-level powerhouse, and Wumingzi is a golden immortal-level powerhouse, and the left and right envoys are said to have reached the peak of the high-level golden immortal level, but they can't get out of that hurdle. From this, it can be seen that the gap between the first-class forces and the second-rate strength, that day the Sword Sect is also a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, but before the breakthrough of its sect master, it was only the peak of the Golden Immortal level, and this Great Bright Palace just two messengers caught up with the master of the Heavenly Sword Gate, not to mention the sect king who is said to have entered the Heavenly Emperor level for a long time.

Unexpectedly, they couldn't help but send a messenger, such a strong man, not an ordinary master can deal with it.

After thinking for a moment, Li Longji solemnly raised his head and said, "Send a report to Shushan and ask them to send personnel to intercept the people of the Great Guangming Palace, and they must not be allowed to take root in our Central Plains!"
