Chang'an City, the study room of the Liangyi Palace.

Wei Chigong begged to see Li Shimin and asked him to paint a portrait of the blue wolf.

Li Shimin was very puzzled and asked, "My painting skills are average, why do you ask me to paint?" ”

Wei Chi Gong said: "Your Majesty, the courtier Wei Chi Baoqi said, this is what His Royal Highness the King of Qi said, this painting can't be painted by anyone else, only if you come to paint it, can you paint it." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt comfortable, and he smiled: "Okay, I'll just paint one." ”

Wei Chigong said: "Your Majesty, I hope you keep this matter secret. After you have finished drawing, send someone to inform the minister, and the minister will pick it up himself. ”

Li Shimin smiled and signaled that he understood.

After Wei Chigong left, Li Shimin smiled and said, "This kid, I don't know what bad he is holding back?"

I don't know what happened to Tuyuhun? ”

Longde City.

Li You wrote a letter, handed it to Cheng Chuliang, and said: "This letter must be delivered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Fu Qi City within five days. ”

Cheng Chuliang said: "This is only three days away from Fu Qi City, and the fast horse is only three days away, and the minister will definitely be able to deliver it."

It's just that now the city gate is very tightly guarded, how can the ministers get out of the city? ”

Hamid said, "Don't worry, I'll send you out of the city." ”

After speaking, he called a servant and asked him to arrange for Cheng Chuliang and others to go out of the city.

After Cheng Chuliang and the others left, Li You smiled at Hamid and patted him on the back of his hand to express his gratitude.

Hamid smiled and said he had received it.

Li You said: "As expected, the Tubo people will start in a few days. Let's not just watch, we have to push them. ”

Tibetan military camp.

The Tibetans are really going to do it.

Grobie said: "No wonder Murong Qian has been shirking, it seems that he is just waiting for Gao Luo Lu to come to him."

With the 10,000 horses of Gaoluo Road, and the territory of 6 counties, Murong Qian's strength has increased greatly, and it is absolutely impossible to let him defect to Tubo. ”

Songtsan Nanning said: "What do you say? ”

Grobie said, "Murong Qian must be eliminated as soon as possible. ”

Songtsen Nanning said: "Do you want to wait for Zampu's will? ”

Groby said, "No, Zamp gave me permission to do the camera before I came. ”

"Okay, what do you say, I'll listen to you." Songtsan Nanning said.

Groby said: "We have less than 20,000 horses in Tuyuhun, and it is difficult to control the situation even if we get rid of Murong Qian just by relying on our strength.

We should immediately send someone back to Tibet, so that the reinforcements sent by Zampu will go to Longde City immediately. ”

In order to completely control Tuyuhun, Tubo mobilized 150,000 troops to launch a war in Tuyuhun.

In addition to the 20,000 or so Tibetan troops who had already arrived in Longde City, the rest of the army was gathering on the border between Tuyuhun and Tubo, and 100,000 people had been assembled so far, and it was only 5 days away from Longde City.

Their original plan was to wait until the army was assembled and then start a war to annex Tuyuhun.

Now that the situation in Tuyuhun has changed, Grobby and the others have decided to act in advance.

Songtsan Nanning said: "Okay, that's it. ”

Grobie said: "In order to paralyze Murong Qian, I will go to see Murong Qian and give him a reassurance." ”

A big war is imminent, and once the war starts, no matter whether it is won or lost, Tuyuhun will be destroyed by the flames of war, and it will also cause thousands of casualties among the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army.

This result was by no means what Tang Dynasty and Li You wanted.

The Tang Dynasty had to take control of the rebels' territory before the Tubo invaded Tuyuhun in a big way.

The situation is urgent!

Li You also decided to start early.

That afternoon, Gu Linger once again served as a messenger and brought Li Youxin's instructions to Chen Ping.

……

Besides, Cheng Chuliang, with the help of Hamid's people, got out of Longde City, and went straight to Fuqi City, he just arrived in Saltwater Bend Town, and saw Li Chengqian, Li Jing and others.

It turned out that Li Chengqian was eager to make meritorious contributions and proposed that the army move forward and get closer to the territory controlled by the rebels, and Li Jing and others also agreed to do so, and after consulting Murong Bo's opinion, the army took advantage of the night march and had advanced to a distance of only one day from Longde City.

Murong Bo also took the main force of 60,000 people and acted with the Tang army.

After Li Chengqian and the others read Li You's letter, they all felt excited.

Li Chengqian said: "Now it's good, the internal strife between the Tubo people and the rebels is imminent, and it is a good time to exterminate them. ”

Li Chengqian, Li Jing, Murong Bo, Xue Wanjun and others discussed and decided that the army would continue to advance secretly, reach near the military demarcation line with the rebels, and launch an attack as soon as Li You's news arrived.

Li Jing drafted a reply letter to Li You, and Cheng Chuliang embarked on the journey back to Longde City overnight.

Longde City, the General's Mansion.

Grobi met with Murong Qian and congratulated him, saying that Tubo would support him as the new khan of Tuyuhun and would assist him in defeating Murong Bo and unifying Tuyuhun.

After Grobie left, Murong Qian invited Chen Ping and asked Grobby about his intentions.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "The Khan is a smart man, and the national policy of Tibet has always been to annex your territory.

Is it possible that he, a small general in front of the palace, dared to change the established national policy of Tibet without the consent of Songtsen Gampo? ”

Murong Qian suddenly understood, and said, "Yes, it is impossible for them to send someone back to ask Songtsan Gampo for instructions in such a short period of time, and they rushed back so quickly."

Grobby's words can never be trusted. What is he doing here? ”

Chen Ping said: "When he does this, he must be paralyzing the khan and starting some conspiracy." ”

Murong Qian said, "What might they do? ”

Chen Ping said: "The Khan is the overlord of the plateau, his prestige spreads far and wide, and the people of Tubo must be afraid of the Khan.

If the poor Dao is right, they must be going to start a plot against you.

There is a plan for the poor road, and you will know it when you try it. You ...... like this"

Murong Qian nodded and said, "Good plan, just do it." ”

Not long after, a piece of news spread by well-intentioned people, and it spread far and wide - General Murong Qian was going to Qingyunguan tomorrow morning to pay homage to the stone stele.

After Li You received the news, he wrote a letter, handed it to Hou Cheng, and said to him: "You immediately send this letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and let them march to Longde City immediately." ”

After Hou Cheng left, Li You called the liaison officer sent to him by Murong Bo and said, "Go up immediately to see General Zuo Gao Luolu and tell him to act according to the plan." ”

General Zuo, Gao Luolu, was sent by Murong Bo to surrender, and he had already received instructions to obey Li You's orders.

Next, Li You called Xue Rengui.

After Li You introduced the critical situation facing the Tang Dynasty, he gave him an extremely difficult task, which was not only life-threatening, but also extremely difficult.

He asked, "Xue Rengui, can you complete this task?" "I want to talk to more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
