There is a generation gap, not only in terms of age, but also in history of more than a thousand years.

Niu Jinda still loves Li Su very much, and really treats him as a nephew, the more he cares, the more unreasonable he becomes, and a few words of scolding can be heard as a reminder.

Li Su is not stupid, and the topic of killing and surrendering will naturally never be mentioned again in the future.

"Or go west!" Niu Jinda looked at the map and sighed: "We can calculate the account clearly, the ministers in the court, and the people will not calculate this account, they don't care how many Tubo people they killed during the war, they only know that the Tang Dynasty suffered a loss, and we military generals fought for the country, and stopped after receiving Songzhou, not trying to avenge the people, one said that it was to lose power and humiliate the country, and the leaders were all wine bags and rice bags, and after the victory in this battle, the morale of the generals in the army was like a rainbow, and it was the time when the military heart was available, if you don't continue to go west, you can't say it." ”

Li Su's expression was also a little depressed.

National self-confidence is too strong is not a good thing, with a smell of empty eyes, a little grievance will be eager to kill the whole family, the Tang Empire since the destruction of the Eastern Turks, whether the army or the people, the morale is generally much higher, the war against neighboring countries, victory is the norm, it is a matter of course, if it is defeated, it is simply an incredible result. The result of winning every battle has almost numbed the monarch and the people, and the only thing that can be used as a topic is the proportion of the enemy and the enemy, and the higher the proportion of the enemy and the enemy, the more the ...... G-spot?

Very complicated feelings, this is obviously not a normal atmosphere, Li Su is faintly worried at the same time, but he can't help but be proud of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a tendency to be slowly assimilated by the Tang Dynasty and become a member of countless Tang Dynasty angry youths.

In fact, Li Su did not approve of the westward expansion into Tibet.

Ask for money from his usual death...... No, it should be a manifestation of the pursuit of profit maximization, and it can be seen that Li Su is a profit-seeker, and it is a bit ugly to say that he is mercenary. At the very least, it should be unprofitable...... It's also hard to hear, forget it, don't care about those details.

Profiteers, like businessmen, never do anything that is not rewarded, and the Tang army invaded the territory of Tibet, whether it was murder. Whether it is to occupy the city, you must first consider how much you will pay, and then calculate how much you will get in return, whether the return is worth paying, calculate the account, and then decide whether to enter the territory of Tibet.

Not to mention how many Guanzhong disciples will be sacrificed in the battle with the Tibetan army, just mention the plateau climate, steep mountain roads and frequent snowstorms in Tibet, these natural factors are an enemy that is almost invincible. Natural disasters are more terrible than man-made disasters, and the non-combat attrition caused by them will not even be less than the number of people who died in battle, even if they win in the end, the land of Tubo is occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and what does the Tang Dynasty get in the end? What can such a serfdom country get except yaks and sheep everywhere, and a pitiful amount of barley buckwheat and so on?

Moreover. Even with a grenade that is a weapon that transcends the times, it is not certain whether you can conquer Tibet. The grenade is not omnipotent, and it cannot decide the outcome of every war.

Li Su had a lot of thoughts, but he wisely chose not to speak.

These words are not for him to say, for people have no weight, and words have no weight.

Niu Jinda's eyes were only fixed on the map, and it took a long time. Suddenly, he said: "Before recovering Songzhou, I sent ten scouts deep into the territory of Tubo, and they came back yesterday. ”

"The result?"

Niu Jinda sighed and said with a depressed expression: "You are not wrong, the climate in Tubo is really sinister. Three of the ten scouts died, and the remaining seven were all wounded of varying degrees of severity, the casualties were not caused by the enemy's fighting, and five hundred miles into Tibet was a high mountain range, as you said, the scouts were out of breath at all, two of them gasped to death, and there was a big avalanche on the way, and another one died, and after walking more than a hundred miles, the scouts couldn't stand it anymore, and felt more and more unable to breathe, so they had to all retreat......"

Li Su was silent, whether he entered or retreated, he had hardships and reasons, and how to choose could only depend on how Li Shimin and the three famous generals measured the gains and losses.

***********************************************************

Two days later, the Holy Decree came to Chang'an City, in addition to praising Hou Junji's three great governors, the Holy Decree also made the decision to continue west into Tibet, urging Hou Junji to set off after resting the army.

Li Shimin's intention is obvious, he can't get used to Songtsan Gampo's fault, since he dares to enter the Tang Dynasty this time, he must beat him up and beat his psychological shadow, so that when he thinks of the word Datang in the future, he can't help but twitch all over his body, and he will not dare to violate my territory again.

To achieve the effect of the whole body pumping, it is not enough to recover Songzhou, but also to continue to attack, Songtsan Gampo does the first year of junior high school, Datang does fifteen, everyone has come and gone, you have changed my attack after you have attacked, everyone has come and gone, and there is an attack and a change in exchange for the base.

The proclamation was made by a civil official, named Gao Jifu, and his official position was Zhongshusheren, and this kind of work of proclamation could only be done by Zhongshusheren.

Riding from Chang'an to Songzhou, Gao Jifu was bitter on the horseback, his face was full of dust when he got off the horse, and his legs were set aside in a circle, and the civil officials have always been very strict with etiquette, so he endured the pain and squeezed his legs inward, and the pain made the old face twisted into a ball, and attended the funeral.

After announcing the holy decree to urge the army, Gao Jifu looked around left and right, and said loudly: "Who is Li Su?" Where is Li Su, who joined the army in the record of Kuoshuidao? Come out and take the order. ”

Li Su honestly knelt behind everyone without showing his water, and at this moment, Gao Jifu shouted, everyone turned their heads to look at him, Li Su had to get up and walk a few steps, standing in front of the crowd to receive the order and kneeling down again.

"Xiaguan Li Su took the order."

Gao Jifu glanced at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that the object of the decree was actually a little baby, hurriedly looked around, and found that everyone was not different, it seemed that it was indeed the right owner, so he suppressed the surprise in his heart, and after coughing twice, he unfolded a roll of yellow silk, and read melodiously: "The system said: Xu Xian Zhaode, the former king's order, Jingshan Nian Gong, and the country Yi Xun." Li Suzhi of Taiping Village, Jingyang County, has been a long-term staff officer, prepared for the ...... of loyalty, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the of Zhongyi"

Li Su looked like a dog-eyed star, staring blankly at Gao Jifu.

This time, I really didn't understand it at all, and it didn't look like a human word. Is he praising me or scolding me?

“…… Zhijian Jinshi, swear to mountains and rivers, and actually allow the court. Feng Li Su is the son of Jingyang County, with 200 households, Qinzai. ”

After the holy decree was recited, Li Su respectfully accepted the holy decree. Saying thank you, Li Su couldn't hear the taste of the holy decree, but Hou Junji, Niu Jinda and others showed a different color on their faces.

The word "system said" is used at the beginning of the holy decree, which is enough to show that the specifications of this holy decree are very high, and it is the holy decree of the official knighthood of the imperial court, and the battle in the holy decree is also a very strict holy decree format, and what is even more mysterious is that Li Su is now appointed to join the army from the eighth grade, but the prince of Jingyang County is from the title of the fifth grade. The holy decree did not say that Li Su's official position should be dismissed, and a title from the fifth rank was matched with an official from the eighth rank...... The founding of the Tang Dynasty has never been heard of so far.

Hou Junji and Niu Jinda quickly exchanged glances, this holy decree is too connotative, and it is indeed a sacred heart that cannot be guessed.

As for the content of the holy decree, it is basically some false empty words, and the reason for the knighthood is even more pale than you can handle.

However, Hou Junji and others understood the reason inside.

Small clay pots like that. It really can't be publicized to the world, and Li Su's credit naturally can't be said clearly. This is a highly confidential matter, and it must not be leaked, so I have to use some false empty words to deal with the past, and the real reason for the knighthood is well known to everyone.

Although Li Su didn't understand the content of the holy decree, he still understood the last sentence "Jingyang County". From the decree to thanksgiving, his expression has been very calm, there is no resistance, he knows very well what the invention of the grenade means in this era of cold weapons, and Li Shimin's reward is also expected.

Li Su really doesn't want to be an official. He felt that he was not ready to step into the officialdom, but sometimes the situation was pressing, if he didn't invent the grenade, the Wang brothers would have to die under the city of Songzhou, and if he invented the grenade, he had to accept the scenery and danger that came with it.

If you have done something, you will never regret it. People's values change a lot, and what they used to avoid at any cost, when one day the situation forces them to the edge of the cliff, they can only spread their hands and take the initiative to cater to it.

…… Maybe there is a faint hint of other expectations in his heart, with a knighthood, he can be regarded as a reluctant identity, is he closer to Dongyang?

Gao Jifu finished reciting the holy decree and looked at Li Su with a smile: "I never expected that the person who made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty was such a handsome and dignified young man, which was really unexpected by the old man." ”

Li Su hurriedly bowed down and said a few words modestly.

Gao Jifu continued: "When the old man was about to leave Chang'an, His Majesty had an order, and after receiving the order, Jingyang County would return to Chang'an on the same day, and His Majesty would summon you, so you should hurry back to the account and pack up, and then go on the road." ”

Li Su complied, turned to look at Niu Jinda, and said hesitantly: "Chief Manager, go back to Chang'an...... Didn't you go back alone? ”

Gao Jifu continued: "The county is my Tang Dynasty title, and all the lords have honor guards, but you have to wait until you return to Chang'an to be settled by the imperial court, from Songzhou to Chang'an......"

Niu Jinda smiled: "It's a big deal, I'll give you ten rides to send you back to Chang'an." ”

Li Su smiled shyly: "The lower official is presumptuous, can you let the lower official order two people in these ten horses?" ”

"Who?"

"Wang Zhu of the Mo Knife Team, Wang Zhi of the Crossbow Arrow Battalion." Li Su said without thinking.

So many things have been done, and it is an invention and a knighthood, for these two goods, tomorrow to open the territory of Tubo, I don't know how difficult the road ahead is, these two goods must be taken away, what is the meritorious service, what is unwilling to be mediocre, first save your life and then say, if these two goods die on the road to conquer Tubo, then what is the significance of Li Su's previous qiē?
