Chapter 233: That's the Truth
The surrounding ministers also felt that Chen Chu was joking.
The divine soldier that Chen Chu said, everyone also thought about it at the beginning.
But racking his brains, he doesn't know where the divine soldiers can come from, unless they become soldiers like the beans in the legendary story.
Chen Chu smiled slightly, stabbed Li Chengqian's arm, and whispered: "Your Highness, it's still up to you......"
Li Chengqian asked, "Didn't you say that the time was not ripe?" ”
Chen Chu said: "Since Tubo has withdrawn from the army, then our plan has succeeded, if we don't talk about it now, we won't be able to say it today." ”
Bang.
Li Eryi slapped the table and said unhappily: "Cheng Qian, Chen Chu, you are so bold that you dare to mumble here......
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father, son...... The retainers have something to do. ”
"What?"
Li Chengqian said: "Father, in fact, Chen Chu's words are not wrong, when Tubo retreated, there must be a divine soldier who appeared, and this divine soldier was actually sent by Erchen and Chen Chu. ”
What the?
Everyone stared at Li Chengqian with wide eyes.
Chen Chuhu said that's it.
Why is even the prince talking nonsense?
Li Ergang wanted to reprimand Li Chengqian, but heard Li Chengqian say: "Father, do you remember Xue Rengui? In fact...... In fact, Erchen and Chen Chu deceived everyone at the beginning, Xue Rengui and the others did not go to the Western Regions to look for salt mines at all, they were ordered to sneak into Tubo to find the salt wells of the Tubo people, and then blow them up......"
Li Er pondered for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "You mean, Xue Rengui and the others are the divine soldiers?" ”
Li Chengqian nodded.
Li Er and the ministers all showed incredible expressions.
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, do you mean that the retreat of Tubo has something to do with Xue Rengui and others destroying the salt wells in Tubo?" ”
Li Chengqian nodded again.
The eldest grandson Wuji asked again: "However, Your Highness, the minister still has no idea, why is this salt well damaged, and Tubo has to withdraw from the army?" ”
Li Chengqian scratched his head and looked at Chen Chu pleadingly.
At the beginning, Chen Chu just said that he did this, but he didn't say why he did it.
He didn't understand either, but he chose to believe Chen Chu.
Seeing this, Chen Chu stood up helplessly and said: "Lord Changsun, you have asked this question well, the reason is that the Tubo people mainly eat meat, and this meat is not separated from salt, once there is a shortage of salt, at least three or five days, and at most half a month, the soldiers will be weak, and even nauseous and want to vomit...... Of course, there is another important point, Tubo was unified by Songtsen Gampo for a few years, its interior is not monolithic, but full of dangers, there are many people who do not give up, want to drive Songtsen Gampo away, once the eyes are destroyed, Songtsen Gampo will inevitably suspect that there is something wrong in the rear, he has to rush back. ”
I see!
Chen Chu explained the whole thing in a few words.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Li Er stared at Chen Chu with a strange gaze.
Others, on the other hand, regret burying their heads low.
Thinking about the beginning, Chen Chu firmly said that Tubo would definitely send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, from the emperor Li Er, to the minister Sun Wuji and others, all of them did not believe it, thinking that Chen Chu was alarmist and unbelievable.
Now it seems that Chen Chu has guessed all right.
not only guessed correctly, but also left a hand with the prince in advance.
Poof.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly fell to the ground.
"Eldest grandson ......"
"Eldest grandson, how are you?"
Everyone stepped forward.
I saw the eldest grandson Wuji being supported, leaning against the pillar, his face was pale, and there were tears rolling in his eyes, and he said promisedly: "So ...... In this way, my son Sun Chong also followed Xue Rengui to Tubo, the kind of place in Tubo is already difficult, plus they are going to blow up the salt wells of the Tubo people, there must be countless pursuers chasing and killing them, I am afraid that ...... I'm afraid that these people are already fierce, and my poor son is not married, and he has not even ......left an heir."
As he spoke, two tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.
The most painful thing in life is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.
Everyone knew that Xue Rengui and others were more than lucky, and they all spoke out to comfort the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Lord Eldest Sun, you have to mourn!"
"You can't come back to life after you die!"
"The eldest grandson Chong died well!"
Li Er stood up, walked to the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a heavy heart: "Auxiliary, don't worry, I will not forget the merits of the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest grandson Chong has made meritorious contributions to the country, and has given Yunyang County and five hundred households in the city." Xue Rengui has meritorious service to the state, and he is given the captain of Rong, and he is on the ninth grade. The rest of the people have merit, and the reward is approved by the officials! ”
After a pause, Li Er said: "Immediately send an order to the Hundred Cavalry Division, and tell Duan Zhixuan and Li Ji to quickly send people into Tubo, disdain all costs, search for Xue Rengui and others, live to see people, dead to see corpses." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji held back his grief and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Li Er gently patted the shoulders of the eldest grandson Wuji twice and said, "Auxiliary machine ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps.
A sergeant ran in, holding a letter, and shouted, "Urgent, urgent, urgent...... Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, passed the book and sent an urgent report. ”
Li Er turned around and shouted eagerly: "Quick, get it quickly!" ”
Gao Chen frantically brought the emergency report.
Li Er opened it and looked at it, and immediately looked overjoyed, and then laughed wildly.
"Hahahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
Li Er's laughter echoed loudly in the Manna Hall, even alarming the sparrows outside the window.
Li Er said with a happy expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, the auxiliary machine, good news, the urgent report sent by Duan Zhixuan said that a few days ago, Tubo suddenly withdrew from the army, and then, he met a group of people holding the orders of the East Palace, including Changsun Chong, these people have now arrived safely in Shanzhou City, and they will be escorted back to Chang'an by Zuo Xiaowei's army on the same day...... Auxiliary, Changsun Chong is fine. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was overjoyed, and then he suddenly cried.
Tears of joy.
He danced with his hands and kept saying, "Okay, great......"
Li Er returned to the table and sat down, and said: "Xue Rengui, what a blessing for me, he took a dozen people, and entered Tubo without knowing it, and under the noses of the Tubo people, he actually blew up the salt well, and he was able to evade the pursuers and return safely, this person is simply a genius with soldiers......
When Chen Chu heard this, he knew that Xue Rengui's future was limitless in the future.
That's not enough, though.
He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I thought there was one more thing missing......
"Oh? What's up? ”
Chen Chu stepped forward, pointed to the map on the table, and said, "Tuguhun...... Tuyuhun has always been friendly with the Tang Dynasty and bowed down to the Tang Dynasty, but this time the army of the Tubo people quietly appeared in Shanzhou, and it must be Tuyuhun secretly helping, and now, the Tubo army retreated, at this time, it was just the time for the army of Ganzhou and Liangzhou to drive straight into the Tuyuhun and wipe out Tuyuhun, which can be regarded as a warning to Tubo......"
