Murong Ling introduced Tuyuhun's situation and said the request made by Murong Bo.

After finishing speaking, she looked worried and anxious.

Li You poured her a cup of tea, served it to her personally, and said with a smile: "Don't say that you are my wife, even if you are not, I don't like those Tubo people."

Don't worry, I've got you covered. ”

Murong Ling and Li You had experienced life and death together, and they were very convinced of him, and when they heard him say this, they felt relieved in their hearts.

Li You called Zhou Qian and said, "You go to Guangcui Palace, and after seeing my mother, ask her to invite Your Majesty to her, and say that I will go with the county lord and meet you there." ”

Li You didn't know if there were any people in the court who had been bribed by Tubo, and the assassins sent by Murong Qian should have also arrived in Chang'an. For Murong Ling's safety, he had to be careful.

When he was done, he commanded, "Hold a feast, and I will feast my wife." ”

Murong Ling was very happy to see that Li You attached so much importance to his own affairs, so he temporarily put aside his thoughts and chatted with Li You.

Before dinner, Zhou Qian came back and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has something to do today, and tomorrow afternoon, let you take the county lord into the palace." ”

Li You said: "White Tiger, go and call them over, and Lao Ha, let's be lively together." ”

Not long after, Zhang Guigui, Yin Guanghao, Hamid, Hou Cheng, Li Duan, and Cheng Chuliang and others all came over.

Except for Yin Guanghao, these people have experienced the test of life and death together, and they are very cordial when they meet.

Li You personally cooked, made a few southern dishes, took out the 52-degree Weihe pure wine he brewed, and talked lively.

At the banquet, Zhang Guigui borrowed the strength of the wine and asked, "Your Royal Highness, when will you marry my brother You, but I'm waiting to drink the wine?" ”

"That's it, that's it." We're all waiting for a drink.

After Murong Ling drank the wine, her face was originally a little red, but now her face was as red as a red cloth.

She glanced at Li You and said, "Don't talk nonsense, who said that you were going to marry him." ”

Zhang Guigui said: "County Lord, a handsome, smart and capable person like my Brother You, if I were a woman, I would definitely marry him." Don't miss your chance. ”

Hamid also said: "The precious brother has a point. ”

Li You smiled and said, "Second brother, Lao Ha, can't you stop your mouth with such good wine and food?" Come, drink, eat. ”

Everyone giggled and had a pleasant dinner.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Qian entered Chengtianmen with several eunuchs, and the guards of the prison guards were very familiar with the people of the Qi Palace, and knew that they were sending things to Concubine Yin again.

Soon, Li You also came over.

After entering the palace, Li You saw Zhou Qian and others, and then walked towards the Liangyi Hall with a little eunuch holding a box in his hand.

When he arrived at the door of Li Shimin's study, Ma Xuanliang nodded to Li You and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you and the county lord." ”

Entering the study, the little eunuch took off her hat, revealing her hair, and she said, "The courtier Murong Ling sees Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin asked, "Murong Ling, your brother is okay." ”

Murong Ling said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the brother of the courtier is very good, and the courtier greets Your Majesty on behalf of the brother." ”

Li Shimin said: "Li You told me something about your Tuguhun, you can introduce the situation in detail." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Tuyuhun is currently ......," Murong Ling said.

Tuyuhun had just experienced the war, and the internal integration had not yet been completed, and some of the remnants of Murong Zun's forces had still not been cleared, and with the support of the rebel Murong Qian, they opposed Murong Bo.

Murong Qian was originally a general of Tuyuhun, and the rebel army he led had 60,000 horses, all of which were the original army of Tuyuhun and were well-trained. At present, with the support of Tubo, another 40,000 people have been recruited, and they are stepping up training, preparing to use them to take over the defense of the main force and free up the main force to fight against Murong Bo.

Originally, there were 10,000 Tibetan troops in Longde City, but now 5,000 cavalry have been newly transferred, and more troops will be transferred one after another.

Murong Bo originally had 20,000 main forces and 20,000 militiamen, but after Murong Zun's death, he recruited 50,000 rebels, and these troops had just purged the main officers, and the people's hearts were unstable.

In order to prevent the rebels from attacking, Murong Bo issued a mobilization order and temporarily recruited 100,000 militiamen. However, Tuyuhun had just experienced the chaos of war, and there was a shortage of military funds, weapons and other materials, making it difficult to organize training effectively.

If the Tang Dynasty did not send troops, Murong Bo was not sure that he would be able to withstand the combined attack of the rebels and the Tibetans.

After introducing the situation, Murong Ling said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I, Tuyuhun, am a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will save your subordinates." ”

Li Shimin said: "Well, I know the situation, you go down and rest first, and let us discuss it." ”

Murong Ling followed Wang De out.

At this time, there were Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and Li You in the study.

Li Shimin asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, it is said that our Datang is also very difficult at present, and it is really unbearable to participate in the affairs of Tuyuhun, I am afraid that we will be involved in another war."

However, Tuyuhun is the northwest barrier of our Tang Dynasty, and we cannot sit idly by and watch the Tubo people annex it. The minister's opinion is that it is still necessary to stop the wolf ambitions of the Tubo people. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is far-sighted, worthy of being the first minister of Zhenguan, and Lingyan Pavilion ranks first.

Fang Xuanling said: "The minister agrees with the opinion of the eldest grandson, and cannot allow the Tubo people to annex Tuyuhun, which will encourage the arrogance of the Tubo, and there will be no peace on my western border." ”

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also in favor of interfering in the affairs of Tuyuhun. The minister has already made plans for military intervention. ”

Li Shimin was a decisive man, and he said: "Since this is the case, then be ready for war."

At present, although the court is in a lot of difficulties and the military budget is tight, I have to fight this battle even if I tighten my belt. ”

Li You listened to it with enthusiasm, and said in his heart: "No wonder there is a prosperous era of Zhenguan, it is because of a wise leader like Li Shimin, as well as a large number of loyal and capable military generals such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and Wei Zheng. ”

At this time, Li Shimin asked: "Li You, you are familiar with the situation in Tuyuhun, tell me about it, what do you think?" ”

Li You said: "Father, your determination is correct, the ambitions of the Tibetan people and wolves, if you don't subdue them, there will be endless troubles in the future."

Erchen was in favor of interfering in Tuyuhun's affairs, and he must not allow the Tubo people to annex Tuyuhun.

There is a matter that the minister wants to report to his father, Tuyuhun seems to be barren, but there is a huge treasure.

As long as it is used well, not only will you not lose money in a war, but you will also be able to make a fortune. ”
