Chapter 224: The Sword Soldier Rises
The gate was finally erected.
Chen Chu directly opened the area around the gate for people to come and watch.
Many people spontaneously came to see this holy stone that could suppress demons.
But after a few days, it turned sour.
Some people even came to worship under the boulder with incense, fruits, and flatbread.
When Chen Chu heard the news, he was angry, and directly asked Cheng Chubi to mobilize a bunch of guards to guard, but anyone who dared to worship the boulder was smashed on it with a stick.
In a word, this holy stone can only be admired, not worshipped.
The people didn't understand at first, but after being beaten a few times, they were all honest.
Seeing that more and more people were coming to visit this huge gate, Chen Chu stared at the system that had not moved for a long time.
The task of building a super-sized mansion that will shock the world and future generations is still showing that it needs to be completed.
Chen Chu said to himself: "It seems that we have to wait for the entire mansion to be completed!" ”
……
Meanwhile.
Palace.
Temple of Manna.
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said, "Minister, see Your Majesty!" ”
Li Er waved his hand and asked all the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids to go out.
In the main hall, only the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Er were left.
Seeing Li Er's solemn face, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Li Er pointed to a wooden stool and said, "Auxiliary, sit down." ”
Eldest Sun Wuji became more and more uneasy in his heart, and asked, "Your Majesty, but there is news of my son Eldest Sun Chong?" ”
Waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to sit down nervously, Li Ercai said: "Auxiliary, the news came from the Baiqi Division, saying that a few months ago, in Shanzhou in the Western Regions, the traces of Xue Rengui and others were found, but they arrived too late, and then their whereabouts were cut off, and now, after rummaging through the entire Shanzhou, they have also lost the traces of Xue Rengui and others, I guess that I am afraid that this group of people has entered Tuyuhun." ”
Tuyuhun is a small country between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and as a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, its interior is not stable.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed.
If it's okay in the territory of Datang, at least it's still very stable.
But when it came to Tuyuhun, all kinds of bandits were rampant, and the safety of Changsun Chong was not guaranteed.
Thinking that the whereabouts of the eldest grandson Chong were unknown, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly looked like he was ten years old.
Li Er asked, "Auxiliary, do you blame Chen Chu?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, the minister has been sending someone to quietly verify this matter, and found that Chen Chu really didn't know anything about it, and he didn't know what kind of madness Chong'er had made, and he actually followed Xue Rengui and others to the Western Regions, and the minister ......."
Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji stopped talking.
His original intention was to ask Li Er to send someone to Tuyuhun to find Changsun Chong.
But when I thought that Tuyuhun was already outside the Tang Dynasty, if I sent a large number of people into it, I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
The eldest grandson Wuji is already an important minister of the imperial court, and he can't do such a thing.
So he stopped talking.
Li Er waved his hand and said: "Auxiliary, I understand what you mean, I have already ordered the Baiqi Division to send someone to Tuyuhun to investigate, as long as there is news of Changsun Chong and Xue Rengui and others, it will be transmitted back to Chang'an as soon as possible...... The Hundred Cavalry Division also found out that Xue Rengui and others came to Shanzhou after going around from the north, this Xue Rengui is really a genius, and the soldiers are not tired of using fraud to the extreme, so they got rid of the Hundred Cavalry Division's all the way to investigate, if this person can return safely, he can be the commander of the first army......"
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you are about to get a good general." ”
Li Er didn't have much joy, but frowned and said: "I suddenly remembered what Chen Chu said in the past few days, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, there may be a war, at that time the heavy snow closed the mountain, but now, it is nearly April, but the cattle, sheep and war horses that the Tibetan envoy Senuo Gongzan promised to send have not moved, you say, will it be as Chen Chu said, Tubo does not want to give this batch of things at all, and is ready for war?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Chen Chu is a little alarmist, my Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and the products are abundant, and Tubo is only a small country, Songtsan Gampo cannot use troops against the Tang Dynasty, as for the matter of Seno Gongzan, it is not difficult to understand, although the Tang Dynasty has been nearly three months, the spring is warm, but the terrain of Tubo is high, at this time I am afraid that it is still very cold, Xenoart Gongzan and his party, maybe it will ...... move"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone shouted: "Border pass emergency, please see Your Majesty." ”
Bang.
The door was opened in a hurry.
A man in black rushed in and came to Li Er, but he staggered, knelt on the ground, held up a secret letter out of breath, and said: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the Hundred Cavalry Division from the border pass, and one hundred thousand are ......in a hurry."
Li Er and eldest grandson Wuji's faces changed at the same time, and they hurriedly got up.
Li Er hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the letter, tore it open, and read it carefully.
The eldest grandson Wuji was pale and stood with the case next to him.
He guessed that there must be news of Changsun Chong.
Normally, finding Chong'er is a happy event, and Baiqi will definitely send the news to Chang'an slowly.
But now there is a secret letter of 100,000 urgent, which means that something big must have happened, and maybe Chong'er has already ......
The eldest grandson, Wuji, couldn't imagine it.
Bang.
I saw Li Er's face gloomy, holding the letterhead, and slamming his fist on the table.
The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "Your Majesty, but is it my son's news?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji threw the letter to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji picked it up and looked at it, and his eyes immediately widened.
Syllable.
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help it, slapped the table and said: "How can this be reasonable, Tubo, a small state of Tuer, dares to use troops against the Tang Dynasty......"
Li Er said coldly: "What a Songtsan Gampo, I underestimated him, before, I have been guarding against Tubo, and deployed troops in the north of Anxi, I thought that Tubo wanted to use troops from the direction of Shanzhou, and he must first defeat Tuyuhun, but now it's okay, Tuyuhun doesn't have a single soldier, and he actually lends the road to the Tubo people, and the wolf's ambition is not credible......"
Tuyuhun is sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, becoming a natural barrier for the Tang Dynasty, and has always bowed to the Tang Dynasty.
Now, Li Er got the information of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and the 200,000 troops of Tubo quietly appeared in Shanzhou and approached Shanzhou City, and the truth was that Tuyuhun borrowed the road to Songtsan Gampo.
Tuyuhun reneged on his covenant with the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo's sudden dispatch of troops and Tuyuhun's treachery made Li Er feel very angry.
Li Er turned around and shouted outside: "Immediately pass the decree, the minister of civil and military affairs above the third rank, enter the palace quickly......"
The eunuch was just about to leave, but he heard Li Er add: "By the way, go and call Chen Chu too." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled: "Your Majesty, why do you want Chen Chu to come at such a time, isn't Your Majesty worried that he will make trouble?" ”
Li Er shook his head: "Auxiliary, do you remember what Fang Caizhen said, Chen Chu, this kid, has long expected that the Tubo people will fight......
The eldest grandson Wuji showed embarrassment on his face, as if he had been slapped in the face.
He just swore that Chen Chu was alarmist, and before he could burn incense, news came from the border gate.
