Chen Chu was still in the bed, so he was picked up.

He just wanted to fight back, but found out that it was Cheng Biting Jin.

Cheng Biting Jin was covered in armor, his expression was serious, and he was out of breath, and after picking up Chen Chu, he only said one word: "Go!" ”

Chen Chu asked in confusion: "Where are you going!" ”

Cheng Yanjin threw Chen Chu's clothes over and said quickly: "Talk while walking!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Chu walked out while getting dressed.

At the gate of Lu Guogong's mansion, there was already a carriage waiting.

After getting into the carriage, Cheng Yanjin ordered: "Go to the palace immediately, hurry up!" ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at Chen Chu, who was still getting dressed, and said: "Fifth brother, I'm afraid that something big has happened, just now, someone in the palace sent a decree to let the ministers of civil and military affairs above the third rank go to the Ganlu Hall immediately, and at the same time, Zuo Wuwei sent me a message that there was a change in the Western Regions...... I'm afraid there will be another war. ”

Chen Chu looked at Cheng Yanjin and asked, "Fourth brother, look at your appearance, you seem to be a little excited?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "You're right, Lao Cheng, I haven't fought for a long time, I think at the beginning, I was a ringing horse, a thief, and an anti-king, and then I followed His Majesty to fight in the south and the north, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, I fought with Tubo for several years, and I just fought ...... war."

For Lao Cheng, fighting has become commonplace.

Cutting people is like chopping vegetables.

The two hurried into the palace and came to the outside of the Manna Palace.

I saw that at the gate of the Ganlu Palace, a lot of people had gathered.

Wang Jue, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc., are all important ministers in the court.

All of them looked worried.

Cheng Yanjin asked, "Why don't you go in yet?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Cheng Zhijie is a little restless, just now Hou Shangshu has already gone in to report the news from the border pass in the army, I believe that Your Majesty will summon me soon." ”

Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked curiously: "I heard that something happened in the Western Regions, does anyone know what happened?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Chen Chu stood beside him and said, "What else can happen, it must be that Tubo has sent troops." ”

Tibet sent troops?

The surrounding ministers sneered vigorously.

Wei Zheng reminded: "Virtuous nephew, you can't talk nonsense, although the Songtsan Gampo of Tubo is a male lord, but Tubo is only a small country, how dare you use troops against the Tang Dynasty." ”

"That's right," Wang Qi said, "Chen Chu, you can't talk nonsense, understand?" ”

Some ministers even ridiculed: "You don't study well at a young age, you don't understand anything, but you dare to make a big deal about it." ”

Chen Chu asked, "You don't believe it?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Chen Chuchao raised his middle finger at the few officials who had just mocked him.

Everyone understood what this meant, and naturally they didn't bother with him.

Among them, there are a few people who choose to believe Chen Chu.

That is Chen Chu's several sworn brothers, Niu Jinda, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yanjin.

Li Jing walked over and asked, "Fifth brother, tell me, why did Tubo use troops against the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Chen Chu thought for a while and said: "The most fundamental reason is that Songtsan Gampo unified the Tibetan tribes, which is the time when the soldiers are strong and strong, and its interior is not monolithic, so it is necessary to find an enemy to unite everyone, at the same time, Shanzhou, Liangzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty, compared with Tubo, the land is fertile and the climate is pleasant, and the Tubo people have coveted these places for a long time and have long wanted to include them in the territory of Tubo. Of course, the most direct reason is that in the winter of last year, the cold time was too long, and the Tang Chang'an City suffered countless disasters, not to mention Tubo, Tubo's cattle, sheep and horses were only afraid of freezing to death, and now, they are in a hurry, and they must grab something to go back to make up for the loss......"

Li Jing and the others listened and nodded again and again.

But when the civil officials heard this, they all disagreed.

Qin Qiong asked, "Fifth brother, in your opinion, where do you think Tubo will use troops?" ”

Chen Chu took a copy of the map from Cheng Yanjin's hand, and then pointed to a point on the map and said: "If my expectation is correct, the army of Tubo has already attacked Shanzhou first...... Shanzhou is located in the south of Tuyuhun, attacking Shanzhou, you can avoid encountering the main force of the Tang Dynasty in the north, and as long as you capture Shanzhou, you can go straight to Lanzhou City, and my Tang army, has been defending in the north, once Lanzhou City is captured, the supply line of the Tang army in the north will be cut off, and when the time comes, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses......"

Li Jing and the others gathered around one after another, their faces shocked.

The Tang Dynasty was stationed in Ganzhou and Liangzhou north of Tuyuhun, with more than 100,000 troops.

Once the supply lines of these hundreds of thousands of troops are cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But Wang Jue and others disagreed.

Wang Jue sneered: "Chen Chu, don't open a river here, there is Tuyuhun on the edge of Shanzhou, Tubo wants to attack Shanzhou, Tuyuhun must be defeated first, I have not received the news of a war between Tubo and Tuyuhun before, how can Tubo unknowingly bypass Tuyuhun to fight Shanzhou." ”

"Chen Chu, you are young and have never even been on the battlefield, how can you know about this war."

"Don't talk nonsense here."

A few civil officials said mockingly.

At this moment, a eunuch ran out and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has let everyone in. ”

The crowd entered the temple of manna.

When he arrived in the Manna Palace, he saw Li Er's face gloomy.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Junji stood aside and said nothing.

Li Eryi waved his hand: "Give a seat." ”

The crowd sat down.

Li Er asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am in a hurry to summon you to come, but there has been an accident in the Western Regions, and the army of Tubo has approached the border of my Tang Dynasty, you might as well guess where the army of Tubo is attacking?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Only Li Er and Hou Junji have the information, but the others don't know the real situation.

Cheng Yanjin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, it won't be attacked from Shanzhou, right?" ”

Li Er was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cheng Yanjin in surprise: "Zhijie, you should tell me, why did Tubo attack from Shanzhou?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin scratched his head and said stubbornly: "Because, because attacking Shanzhou can avoid confrontation with the main force of the Tang Dynasty in the north, and it can directly approach Lanzhou City and cut off the supply line of my Tang army!" ”

Li Er's eyes widened.

In the past, although Cheng Yanjin could fight, this platoon was very rubbish in terms of strategy.

Today, Cheng Biting Jin's words made Li Er feel impressed.

He stared at Cheng Yanjin curiously and asked, "Zhijie, tell me, why did Tubo suddenly use troops against the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Chen Chu in the far corner and said, "This ...... The fundamental reason is that Tubo is now strong and strong, and the direct reason is that Tubo was very seriously affected by the disaster last year, and it is urgent to grab something to go back. ”

Well?

At this time, Li Er was not calm.

He stood up and looked at Cheng Yanjin in surprise, "Zhijie, I always thought that you didn't know how to strategize, but when I saw you today, you got to the point everywhere, and in some places, it was even more detailed and accurate than what I said with Hou Aiqing and Eldest Sun Aiqing." ”

What?

Everyone was stunned.

What Cheng Yanjin said turned out to be right?
