Chapter 176: Plotting to Seize the Shuai Seal (1)

It is indeed not appropriate to use swords and soldiers in the year of the catastrophe, this truth Li Xian will not be unclear, but Li Xian knows more clearly that if Tubo is not given a head-on blow at this time, it will inevitably cost dozens of times more to clean up the mess in the future, and furthermore, Li Xian also has his own selfishness, that is, to take this opportunity to extend his tentacles into the army, not to seek how much military power he can master, but to make some capital, in order to establish prestige in the army, and lay a foreshadowing for the future plan, therefore, whether it is public or private, This battle must be fought, not only to be fought, but also to be won!

"Xian'er, you can have this heart for the country, I am very relieved, but the current situation is ......, alas, my father wants to send troops, and I am afraid that I can't do it."

Although everyone was silent, but all of them were disapproving, but the stakes were high, and in the face of Li Xian, who was known for his eloquence, everyone didn't want to speak out against Gaozong before he spoke, and silence became the unanimous choice of the ministers, and at the end, Gaozong really couldn't help it, sighed, and said with regret on his face.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, the child thinks that our army is in a more difficult situation, but the thief army is even more difficult, otherwise, the Tibetan child will not be in a hurry to sign a peace treaty with me on the occasion of the great victory, it can be seen that its losses must not be under our army, and this war is in its territory, under the spread of the war, the loss of its national strength will be huge, and moreover, when the war starts, it is the season when cattle and sheep breed, and there is no one to take care of it, the loss of its livestock is not small, and this time is the time when cattle and sheep are ready for winter, they must be carefully cared for, if the war resumes, the thieves will be difficult to endure this winter, This is the reason why we have to fight! Although Gaozong had already shown that he had no intention of fighting, Li Xian refused to give up and admonished impassionedly.

"This ......"

Although Gaozong's temperament is cowardly, but he has never been ambiguous in the use of foreign troops, this is enough to learn Taizong's style, a few years ago, if it was not for the body and bones, he originally planned to personally conquer Goguryeo, at this time when he heard Li Xian said quite reasonable, I couldn't help but feel a little moved, but when I thought of the disaster in front of me, the enthusiasm that had just been ignited quickly withered again, frowning, hesitating and not daring to make up my mind.

"Father, I don't have time to wait, if I let the Tibetan thieves survive this winter, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to recover the four towns of Anxi, once the Western Regions fall, the trade route is cut off, my Tang Dynasty's income has decreased sharply, and the reputation of the great power will also be affected, this sincerity can not be ignored, and the child thinks that there is no need to send a large army for this battle, and the division can defeat the enemy with a brigade, although the son is not talented, but he has practiced martial arts for many years, and he asks himself to be able to win the battle, and he is willing to serve his father on the battlefield, and I implore my father for permission!" Li Xian's ability to observe words and colors is outstanding, just one look at Gaozong's face, he knows that he is already moved, which adds a fire fiercely.

"Your Majesty, this matter is important and cannot be ignored, so it is better to discuss it again."

Gaozong was moved by Li Xian's impassionedness, and he really had the heart to fulfill Li Xian, but unfortunately before he could open this mouth, Empress Wu suddenly interjected from the side, and then beat Gaozong's words back into his stomach.

"What Mei Niang said is reasonable, this matter will be discussed here first, all the ministers and workers will go back to this matter, and I will have to consider one or two." Gojong had never resisted Empress Wu's advice, and he was also worried about the prospect of this battle in his heart, so he groaned and dropped his words, stood up, and turned to walk towards the apse.

Damn old thief, if you don't talk too much, you'll die! Li Xian was so annoyed by Empress Wu's sideways intervention that he couldn't do it, but seeing that Gaozong had left, he had no choice but to talk to Hao Chujun and others after a few empty greetings, and then went out of the palace and returned to the house in a bit of a huff......

Things failed to be done in one go, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, but it was far from the point of frustration, after all, Gaozong did not make up his mind, things are still promising, at least in Li Xian's opinion, of course, Li Xian also knew very well that it was not easy for him to successfully get the handsome seal of the expedition, and there was countless work to be done before the final decision was made, the most important of which was to convince Jiang Ke and his people.

Jiang Ke is not an ordinary person, his ancestor is the famous Shu general Jiang Wei during the Three Kingdoms, his family has been a general for generations, his ancestor was the former Sui Qinzhou Assassin History, his father is the founding father of the Tang Dynasty Jiang Baoyi, the official occupies the high position of the general of Zuo Wuwei, can be described as a family of generals, he himself has served in the Hexi Corridor for a long time, countless wars in his life, and has made great contributions, although he has just been transferred to the court as an official, Ke Bu will be high in the left prime minister as soon as he enters the court, ranking first among the courtiers, although he has not been able to stand on the ground, he rarely intervenes in the government, but Gaozong is very fond of it, Obviously, if Jiang Ke can agree to send troops, the possibility of persuading Gaozong will be greatly increased, in this regard, Li Xian has enough confidence, just because Li Xian knows very well that Jiang Ke and his people are decisive and dare to fight, not greedy for life and afraid of death, of course, now the martial arts queen is also involved in this matter, Jiang Ke dares to speak out righteously, but it is difficult to say, but no matter what, it is imperative to go to Jiang Mansion to take a trip.

The Jiang family has been a high-ranking official for generations, Jiang Ke himself is on the left side, and his family background is naturally not bad, but Jiang Ke himself is not good at luxury, and his mansion is not very particular, not to mention that compared with the top wealthy families and other mansions that are more than 100 acres at every turn, it is also quite inferior to ordinary rich and noble families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is simple, not to mention anything else, just the two vermilion doors with paint peeling off and spots, which make people feel shabby when they look at it, and there is no trace of the style that the Prime Minister's mansion should have, but it looks like a dilapidated house. However, Li Xian, who was waiting outside the door, did not dare to have the slightest contempt, just because Li Xian was very keen to find that whether it was the porter standing beside him with a smiling face or the family members standing at the gate with an expressionless face, they were all elite people, and they were all full of unconcealable fierceness and blood, obviously they were all battle-hardened people, and they could use such strong people as servants, who dared to underestimate them?

"The last general, Jiang Ye, see His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Just when Li Xian was sighing that Jiang Mansion could have a strong man as a servant, a tall young man strode out of the mansion gate, and when he saw Li Xian's face, he was stunned slightly, and then walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and respectfully saluted.

"General Jiang doesn't have to be polite, can Ling Zu be in the mansion?"

Li Xian did his homework before coming, and he knew that this was Jiang Ke's only grandson in front of him - Jiang Ke had two sons, but they all died on the battlefield early, and only one grandson was left under his knees, one year older than Li Xian, although he hung a military general with a false title of riding captain (from the five grades), but he had not yet entered the army as an official, in his previous life, this son joined the army shortly after Jiang Ke's death, but unfortunately he had not yet been able to emerge, so he became a heroic man on the battlefield of recovering the four towns of Anxi, so that Jiang Ke's branch was extinct, although Li Xian did not know this person in his previous life, But he had heard of this person's bravery, and at this time, seeing that his tall and burly figure was not under him, his heart was very good, so he smiled and raised his hand, and asked very gently.

"This ......"

While Li Xian had a good impression of Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye also had a friendship with the well-known Li Xian.

"Is there any inconvenience to Jiang Xiang?"

Li Xian only looked at Jiang Ye's face, and immediately knew that Jiang Ke obviously didn't want to meet him at this time, but Li Xian was thick-skinned and didn't say anything about taboos, so he asked knowingly with a smile.

"My ancestor said he was itching."

Jiang Ye is obviously also a wonderful person, and after smiling slightly, he gave a wonderful answer.

Aha, this guy is so funny! When Li Xian heard such a wonderful answer, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, Jiang Yeba blinked his eyes, and laughed endlessly, until he saw that the people waiting on the side were all at a loss.

"Brother Jiang, Xiao Wang has a cure for his illness, I don't know if Brother Jiang believes it or not?"

After Li Xian laughed a lot, his face straightened, and he said seriously.

"Your Highness, please!"

Jiang Ye didn't answer Li Xian's obviously ridiculous words, but just smiled knowingly, waved his hand simply, and made a "please" gesture.

"Brother Jiang, please!"

Li Xian didn't talk much nonsense, and after waving his hand, he walked into the gate of Jiang's mansion accompanied by Jiang Ye, and walked all the way through the hall to the second entrance hall.

"The lower officials see His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, the old decay is itchy, and he doesn't welcome him from afar, and he also asks His Royal Highness Haihan to be one."

As soon as he saw Li Xian and Jiang Ye coming, Jiang Ke first glared at Jiang Ye who was smiling and hippie, and then bowed to Li Xian with plastic surgery, and said in a flat and slightly helpless tone.

"Jiang Xiang doesn't have to be like this, Xiao Wang took the liberty to come and disturb Jiang Xiangqing's cultivation, it's really a sin, however, it is a matter of the great cause of the society, Xiao Wang has to listen, and I ask the old minister to forgive me." Li Xian returned the salute with a smile, almost straight to the point.

"Your Highness, please take a seat."

Jiang Ke is a well-known resourceful handsome talent, how could he not know Li Xian's true intentions, but he obviously had a lot of scruples about this matter, and did not answer Li Xian's words, but quietly leaned over and waved his hand to signal Li Xian to sit in the hall.

"Jiang Xiang, please!"

Li Xian knew that Jiang Ke was cautious, and he didn't expect to get Jiang Ke's full support as soon as he came up, but Li Xian dared to come to Jiang Mansion, naturally he was ready for a protracted battle, but he didn't mind Jiang Ke's cold expression, so he smiled slightly, and after a polite sentence, he strode into the hall......
