"Hey, it's really strange that he died on the same day, maybe this is fate!"

Le Yanwei died, Mangsong Mangzan also died, and died on the same day, and these two news were transmitted to the Hexi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion almost at the same time, at first glance, it really made Li Xian sigh, and his mind became a mess because of it - Mangsong Mangzan's death is naturally a good thing for Li Xian, but because of this incident, the time for the conquest of Tibet is almost ripe, and more than five years of hard work will finally be seen, as for Le Yanwei's death, Li Xian actually does not have too much sadness, the reason why he is irritable, Basically because of the current situation, no one likes to have their own lineage that they have cultivated with great difficulty being torn apart, even if they have already made relevant mental preparations, they can't stand it in their hearts.

"Life is rare for seventy years, and Le Gong is seventy and three, and it can be regarded as the end of his life, His Royal Highness also asks for condolences by the way."

Although Zhang Cambodia is a wise man, he can't guess where Li Xian's thoughts are at this time, seeing that the expression on Li Xian's face is complicated and difficult to understand, he thinks that Li Xian is sad and Le Yanwei's hatred ends, so he hurriedly said a word of comfort.

"Well, having said that, after all, the death of Kele Gong is related to Lone, and Lone is quite sorry in his heart, but people can't be resurrected after death, but in the future, Lone will not forget his help."

Although Li Xian was not very sad about Le Yanwei's death, he would not forget what he should have shown, so he shook his head and gave a promise in a heavy tone.

"Your Highness is wise, if Duke Le knows, he should be pleased!" Zhang Khan Zhi was afraid that Li Xian would be immersed in sadness and could not extricate himself, and after praising him, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Duke Le is only cautious in his life, and his deathbed confession is indeed desirable, and I ask His Royal Highness to consider it as a favorite." ”

"Well, I know in my heart, now Mangsong Mangzan is dead, and the 'Feiyan Project' is also going quite smoothly, and you can pick peaches as soon as next spring, but the name of the teacher is a little difficult, does Mr. have any clever plans for this?"

When it comes to understanding the Empress Wu, Li Xian claims to be the second, no one in the world dares to say the first, how could he not know that the confrontation with the Empress Wu is a long and difficult process, at this point, Li Xian has long been mentally prepared for hard struggle, as for Le Yanwei's belief that the reform steps are too big and too fast, Li Xian is quite disapproving, just because he knows very well that if the existing military and political system is not changed, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to escape the rebellion of the feudal town in the future, for the sake of future generations, even if it is difficult, Li Xian will never back down, but Li Xian is reluctant to declare this, so he responded vaguely, and then changed the topic.

"Well, this matter really has to be considered in the long run."

As soon as he heard Li Xian mention the conquest of Tibet, Zhang Cambodia's brows immediately wrinkled, not because he was worried that Li Xian would return defeated, but because he was worried that he could not pass the proposal to start a war in the court meeting, because the current court situation is already in the hands of the Empress Wu, and it is too late for the mother-in-law to prevent Li Xian, how can she sit and watch Li Xian see success on the battlefield, as for the prince, I am afraid that it is the same psychology, and Li Xian's descendants are now basically excluded from the court, although there are still Xiao Qian, Lin Mingdu and other ministers, But it is no longer a big climate, and it will never be able to gain an advantage in the court discussion, if there is no special opportunity, even if Li Xian thinks about it again, I am afraid that this war will not be able to be fought.

"I'm afraid this matter has to be started on my father, otherwise, it may be difficult for the court to pass!"

What Zhang Cambodia can calculate, Li Xian can also do, he is really not confident enough to pass the court, and after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head slightly and said.

"The Holy Lord has always been tough on the outside world, if it comes to conquering Tibet, His Majesty has long had this heart, but the queen's mother is sad, if you can make the Tubo people gather to attack, then it may not be impossible."

Zhang Cambodia obviously agrees with Li Xian's opinion, but when it comes to the solution, he also doesn't have a good idea, that is, he put forward a not very reliable suggestion - since the first battle in the autumn of the third year of Xianheng, the department of Gar Qinling, who was greatly injured, has shrunk to the hinterland of Tuyuhun and adopted a defensive position in an all-round way, only deploying a small number of troops on the border between the two countries, that is, occasionally sending troops to harass the Tang realm in the way of "fighting the grass valley". Qinling really didn't have that guts, and it was obviously impossible for him to attack Tang on a large scale.

"Gather a crowd to attack? Well, it works! ”

As the so-called speaker is unintentional, listening to it intentionally, Zhang Cambodia's casual words made Li Xian's eyes suddenly brighten, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he raised his eyebrows, raised his voice and drank a voice: "Ziming!" ”

"The last general!"

Hearing Li Xian's call, Liu Ziming, who had been waiting outside the study for a long time, didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked into the room, and bowed down to answer.

"Pass the order of the orphan, and immediately summon the black tooth Changzhi and Li Heer to come to the discussion!"

Li Xian didn't talk nonsense, and ordered bluntly.

"No!"

Liu Ziming didn't know what Li Xian's order meant, but he didn't ask much, answered cleanly, turned around, and went straight to pass the second general without mentioning it.

"Your Highness, ...... you"

Zhang Cambodia was also confused by Li Xian's order, and after Liu Ziming went, he immediately asked half of the words in a puzzled manner.

"Hehe, let's keep it a secret."

After having the idea of starting a war, Li Xian's mood was obviously very good, but he didn't immediately tell the strange inside, but blinked his eyes, and sold Guan Zi a little naughtily.

"Huh? Hahaha......"

Zhang Cambodia has been following Li Xian for a long time, and he knows Li Xian's ability in military strategy, seeing that Li Xian is already in the chest, the big stone hanging in his heart has already fallen to the ground, and then he was amused by Li Xian's somewhat childish expression, and couldn't help laughing out loud......

Grass valley, not grass, not millet, hit is life, especially refers to the behavior of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to rob each other's border people, the origin and origin of this term are no longer examinable, there is a popular explanation that the Tubo people are born by grass, and they have a different feeling for pasture, and the benefits of robbing the border people of the Tang Dynasty are a lot, so it is called grass, as for the Tang Dynasty, the Han people are always inseparable from rice, but there is a looting income, it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling it threshing, since the Tang Tu made a bad relationship, Between the two sides, there are no less things about grass and threshing, and there are more than a dozen cases every year.

Although the word grass valley is cheesy, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but when it comes to the blood and cruelty in the meantime, it is a little better than a large-scale war - whether it is Tubo or the Tang Dynasty, every time they seize the opportunity to rob each other, there will never be the slightest mercy at all, killing and robbing and burning all is just an ordinary thing, more than ten years later, the souls of grievances floating around Qinghai Lake are countless, especially after the behemoth of "Hexi Horse Farm" rose in the northwest of Hexi, the war in Grass Valley became more and more tragic, In order to compete for the autumn pastures on the shore of Qinghai Lake, the forces of Tang and Tu put into plunder have long developed from the original skirmishing of less than 100 people to the bloody killing of nearly 1,000 people today. The harassment of 15,000 soldiers and horses of Zanpo and the nomadic tribes of Tuyuhun that almost everyone can fight, it is inevitable that there is some embarrassment, but fortunately, the Tubo people are afraid of completely angering Li Xian's killing star, and consciously control the scale of the battle, so that they can barely maintain a tie, but it is also an indisputable fact that they suffered a lot of losses in the raiding war, but it is also an indisputable fact that such an autumn and winter pasture from Qinghai Lake to Shanzhou is an increasingly large Hexi horse farm, but it is a heavy weight that cannot be abandoned, therefore, although it is very difficult, But it can only barely support the unequal confrontation with the Tibetan side.

"The Tibetan dog thief is here!"

"Three thousand, due south, damn it!"

"Quick, ignition, ignition!"

……

On the ninth day of August, the day is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the grass grows and the eagle flies, the horse is strong and fat, and it is the best season to hit the grass valley, the sun has just risen to the three poles, and the sound of horses' hooves shatters the tranquility of Qingfeng Village, and the roar of the guards has become a noise - Qingfeng Village, located on a hill at the source of the Huangshui River, is one of the outposts on the front edge of the Tang Dynasty, although there is a village in the name, but the scale is far from the level of the military village, strictly speaking, it is just a beacon tower, The role that can be played is naturally not to hold the key pass, but only to monitor the enemy's situation, the number of troops in the village is not much, and the total is only a team of ten people, generally all of them are old and weak soldiers who have retired from the combat unit because of the long age, although the combat effectiveness is no longer done, but one by one the vision is the thief is accurate, the Tubo soldiers and horses have just turned out of a mountain beam in the distance, and the soldiers guarding the village have quickly judged the size of the Tubo army according to the size of the dust raised. With great dexterity, he lit one of the several beacons used for communication, and sent the news of the enemy's attack backwards.

"Ho Ho ......"

The Tibetan cavalry came quickly, under a black flag, a bearded general led his troops to the foot of the hill where Qingfeng Village was located, but he ignored the few pitiful defenders on the mountain, and went straight around the hill and rushed towards the hinterland of Shanzhou Ranch along the road by the Huangshui River, leaving only a burst of billowing smoke and the arrogant voice of the Tubo cavalry in the sky.

"Damn, damn Tubo dog, he's here to fight the grass valley again!"

"Guyang Bird, this dispatch is 3,000 cavalry, and the brothers behind are afraid that it will be difficult!"

"Dog's day, rampant birds, sooner or later settle accounts with these grandsons!"

……

As soon as they saw that the Tubo army abandoned their own side and killed them into the pasture, the defenders of Qingfeng Village were angered by the contempt of the Tubo army, and one by one they scolded the back of the Tubo army with righteous indignation, just scolded and scolded, but the eyes looking in the direction of the ranch were full of worry and worry, but the scale of the Tubo army's dispatch seemed to be much larger than in previous years, and no one knew whether the ** cavalry responsible for covering could withstand it......
