The defenders of the Tang Dynasty were completely stunned by the sudden Tubo army, and the mountains and fields were full of black and oppressive Tubo soldiers, and if you looked carefully, these barbarians from the plateau did not look like elites, they were all wearing clothes and armor of different colors, and only the roar of the mountains and tsunamis shook the military heart of the Tang army all the time.

Yu Chaoen tidied up his embarrassed clothes and armor, and pressed on the upper hand of the horizontal knife handle and couldn't help but tremble, although he was the main general who led the army, but he had no experience of being alone, especially when he had to face the powerful Tubo people at this time today.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people have been like a stubborn psoriasis, invading the land west of the Tang Dynasty from time to time. Especially since Gaozong, the strength of the Tubo people has expanded dramatically, and there is already a capital in the northwest that can faintly compete with the Tang Dynasty.

The executed prime minister Ge Shuhan was in a high position because of his achievements in the perennial war with the Tubo people, which also shows that the Tubo people are a great threat to the Tang Dynasty. In the first year of Zhide, there was news that the old Tibetan Zampu Chide Zuzan fell from his horse and died, and after the powerful minister Danzhu killed the heir of the old Zampu, he supported his son Chisong Dezan as the new Zampu.

All in all, Tibet experienced a civil strife that had never been seen in the 100 years since the founding of the country, and there were constant fights and attacks among powerful ministers. This was originally a good opportunity given by God to Datang, just in time to free up his hands and concentrate on extinguishing the rebellion of the thieves.

However, things in the world are always not as people want, and in less than three years, the Tubo army has already reached the city of Chang'an. Yu Chaoen tried his best to restrain the fear in his heart, and thought about all the contents of the siege and defense battle in his memory, and his heart was somewhat settled.

After realizing this, Yu Chaoen immediately announced that the section of the city wall defended by the Shence Army had entered the highest level of imminent battle, and he was going to the Daming Palace to meet Empress Zhang.

Because it is not only the Shence Army that is responsible for guarding Chang'an City, but also Li Fuguo's Zuo Wuwei, and Zuo Wuwei's combat effectiveness and the Shence Army are also half a catty, if Li Fuguo cannot issue an effective military order, the result will be incalculable. Yu Chaoen wanted to face Empress Chen Zhang, so that the military power was unified in the hands of one person at this time

The war horse galloped, and in the ups and downs on the horseback, an unprecedented idea took shape in Yu Chaoen's mind, if he could take this opportunity to hold all the military power of the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei in his hands, wouldn't he become a pivotal figure in the court in the future?

Of course, there is also a crucial part in this, that is, once the military power is alone, it can retreat the Tubo soldiers who are attacking in a big way, or even if it is not able to retreat, as long as the Tubo soldiers can retreat, this great merit of holding Chang'an can make it have a solid enough foundation.

"Dodge, dodge, idlers avoid!"

Although the outside of the city has been overwhelmed by a large number of soldiers, the forbidden streets in the city have not fully begun, and the streets are full of pedestrians and merchants, which greatly hinders Yu Chaoen's speed of rushing to Daming Palace.

Suddenly, a group of centaurs and fish came towards each other, and the first one immediately shouted:

"Is it the Divine Command Army Watching the Military Envoy in front, Her Royal Highness the Queen is urgently summoned!"

This mermaid Chaoen also recognized that he was the general of the guard of Daming Palace, so he merged with it and hurried to the direction of Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace.

At the same time, the Tubo army outside the city did not have what Yu Chaoen expected, and only bluffed and temporarily stopped the attack. Now that it was just past noon, the offensive momentum of the Tibetan soldiers was becoming more and more intense, and they really planned to attack the city with their flesh and blood. The method of attacking the city is also very simple, that is, the Hu people are accustomed to filling the city with soil, a large number of infantry cavalry will fill the soil outside the city wall, pile it into a long slope, and then the army can naturally attack the city along the breakthrough.

It's a pity that Chang'an City is by no means the scale of the Longxi Fortress, and the city wall that is several zhang high has been filled, and it is by no means possible to achieve it in a short period of time, not to mention that the defenders on the city fired a volley of arrows, and the rolling wood and stones were also greeted by a brain, and in just one hour, the casualties have exceeded thousands.

"Prime Minister, Zampu summons!"

The Tibetan Prime Minister Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie withdrew his gaze from the direction of surrendering Chang'an City, and looked back at the person who spoke, this person was his close confidant, Shang Xijie, the general of the Eastern Dynasty. Shang Xijie was also the most important general in the attack on Chang'an.

"Zampu is tired of traveling and traveling, let him rest early, summon him three times a day, if he misses a major event, he will be my great Tibetan sinner through the ages!"

Shang Xi concluded:

"The prime minister now knows the annoying beginning of this doll? If you kill it and set up a new Zampu, it is better than raising a wolf cub a hundred times stronger!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's beard and hair on both sideburns were already gray, he stroked his beard with his hand, and sneered:

"A young wolf who has not yet been weaned, even if he bares his teeth, how can he hurt people? Moreover, Princess Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty is his biological mother, and she is only interested in the inextricable relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

"The big wolf is in trouble, and the young general can't figure it out!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie said no more, but walked in the direction of Zampu's military tent.

Tubo's new Zampu Trisong Dezan is the youngest son of the old Zampu Chide Zuzan, still in Chong Ling, supported by the power of the minister Ruler Dai Danzhu by force, after the Great Prime Minister Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie killed the Ruler Dynasty Danzhu, he did not abolish the new Zanpu established by the Ruler Dynasty Danzhu, and still respectfully respected it as Zanpu.

"Great Minister, the student just heard that the Tubo warriors suffered heavy casualties, and I hope that the Great Minister can temporarily withdraw the troops and find another good way......

Although Chide Songtsen was only twelve years old, he did not have the slightest restraint in front of the powerful Maxiang Chung Bajie.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie frowned and replied bluntly:

"Zampu only needs to sit here, and all foreign affairs will be handled by the ministers!"

When he boarded, Chide Songtsen's little face turned red, and his emotions seemed very excited.

"Didn't the Great Minister put the lives of my Tibetan warriors like rotten grass by doing this?"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie straightened up, looked at Xiao Zampu Chide Songtsen condescendingly, and said word by word:

"There are a hundred years of savings of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City, once it is broken, there will be inexhaustible wealth, so the sacrifice is definitely worth it! If Zampu has leisure time, it is better to read more Han books brought by the princess. ”

The princess in Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's mouth is the princess of Jincheng who was sent to Tubo and Qin by the Tang Dynasty, but she died in the chaos when the ruler Danzhu and Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie clashed. Chide Songtsen's eyes turned red, and the tragic death of his mother was a huge blow to the teenager, and the psychological wounds could not be easily healed by time.

Seeing that Xiao Zampu was about to cry, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie stopped talking nonsense with him and turned around and left the military tent. In fact, Chide Songtsan also said that in his heart, the tactic of filling the city with flesh and blood is not suitable for attacking Chang'an, which has a tall city wall, perhaps he has to learn from the Han people, build siege equipment, and use these Han things to break through the Han city wall.

"Bring that Tang Dynasty named Du Wanquan to see me!"

This general, Du Wanquan, was captured when the Tubo army defeated the Zhenxi army, and in order to avoid death, this person claimed to help the Tubo people attack the border cities of the Tang Dynasty, and even persuaded the guards and officials in Longyou to surrender.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie felt that this person was still useful, so he didn't kill him, and he was raised with good food and drink. Facts have also proved that Du Wanquan proved the value of his existence and made great contributions to the successful attack on Chang'an by the Tubo army.

"The last general, Du Wanquan, meet the prime minister!"

Du Wanquan has been stationed on the right side of Longxi all the year round, and has fought against the Tubo people for nearly 20 years, and has long learned to speak fluent Tubo dialect.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie touched his hands and held up Du Wanquan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"The general doesn't have to make this big salute, since he is a minister with me in front of Zampu, you and I will have the friendship of colleagues!"

This sentence is said in authentic Chinese, he has been an envoy in Chang'an for many years, and he has been deeply influenced by Han culture, and it is not a problem to communicate with Han people in Chinese.

After a few polite words, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie immediately put forward the topic of meeting Du Wanquan today, hoping that Du Wanquan would be able to preside over the construction of large-scale siege equipment. Large-scale siege equipment is something that the Tubo people have hardly come into contact with, and if they want to build and use it, they are absolutely inseparable from the Han people.

Du Wanquan thought for a while and bowed down to agree, but still put forward his opinion:

"Seeing you at the end of the day, it's better to do both at the same time!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's eyes lit up, Du Wanquan has fought with Tubo for more than ten years in Longyou, and he is by no means an ordinary person, and his suggestions must have their own uniqueness.

"Tell me, what's a two-pronged approach?"

……

In Daming Palace, the murderous aura made Yu Chaoen's heart frightened, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen has an order, Yu Chaoen betrayed the grace of the saint, intended to rebel, captured on the spot, and executed on the spot!"

The words were like a cold knife inserted into Yu Chaoen's chest, and at this time, the palace gate behind him had been completely closed, and the left and right were full of Admiralty guards, and it was difficult for him to escape with his wings.

"Chao En is loyal to Her Royal Highness the Queen, why does Her Royal Highness treat me like this?"

The general of the forbidden army who gave the order sneered and reprimanded:

"Is loyalty what you say? If you don't get off your horse and die, you may be able to get a whole corpse, or you will be crushed and fed to the dogs!"

Yu Chaoen's heart was filled with despair, he couldn't understand why the good Empress Zhang wanted to kill him, although he had just given birth to the idea of monopolizing military power, but after all, he never said that he knew it with outsiders, and it was impossible for Empress Zhang to know in such a short period of time, and there may be another reason why this matter happened in a hurry today.

"Wronged, I am wronged, I want to see Her Royal Highness the Queen, please take me to Her Royal Highness the Queen quickly!"
