Chapter 33 Liangzhou is in an emergency

I stayed in Gu Qing's Dali Temple prison for several months, it was late autumn and it was about to be winter, Li Tai often visited Gu Qing this time, and he also came this time, "I said can you eat Sven Dian." ”

"You don't know!" Gu Qing swallowed a mouthful of pork belly, "Three meals a day here are simply not eaten by people, and I can barely eat this meal you give me every day." ”

"Reluctantly?" The corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched, "Isn't the food in my mansion delicious?" ”

Gu Qing shook his hand, "Then you must have never eaten tea eggs." ”

"Change the king of Japan and try your craft." Li Tai said, picked up a villain book next to Gu Qing's bed and put it down stupidly, "What do you read all day long." ”

"Don't rummage around people's beds." Gu Qing ate and said, "When will your father cut off my head?" ”

"It's too early to cut off your head." Li Tai said melancholy, "Recently, my father has been worried, and I can't take care of you for the time being." ”

"What's wrong? Are you ready to rebel? Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said.

"Don't make a fuss." Li Taiyi shook his folding fan, "A few days ago, Liangzhou was attacked, and the Tuyuhun gang of barbarians burned, killed and looted in the Liangzhou area. ”

The folding fan Li Tai used more and more easily, and he always had to carry a fan when he went out, and he sighed: "Datang, it's going to be war again." ”

"Then let's fight!" Gu Qing didn't care about what he said, "Beat him without leaving a piece of armor, and kill him without an inch of grass." ”

Li Tai smiled bitterly, "It's easy for you to say, do you think your father doesn't want to do it?" It's just that Datang has only been based in the Central Plains for a few years? Today's Tang Dynasty is actually strong in the middle, too many people died during the Central Plains War, the father has always encouraged the people to give birth, secretly raising national strength, and now I have just seen some improvements, the people have only lived a good life for a few years, and now they have to fight a war How can there be so many people to go out. ”

"What does your father think?" Gu Qing became interested.

"At today's court meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling led a group of civil officials to negotiate peace, and felt that it was not appropriate for the Tang Dynasty to go to war now." Li Tai fell into deep thought, and said, "The generals are asking for war. ”

"It's not easy to negotiate peace." Gu Qing thought of some reasons, the so-called peace negotiation must also have strength, if you don't have a hard fist, who will negotiate for you.

"That's where the difficulty lies." Li Tai continued, "Now the envoy of Tuyuhun is about to arrive in Chang'an, and I don't know what requirements will be made, in short, the person who came is not good. If the other party offers a huge price, how to deal with it, it is not impossible to fight, but the national strength that Datang has managed to cultivate has to be spent on all these years of cultivation and recuperation. ”

The fat monk listened attentively on the side.

Speaking of fighting, Gu Qing thought of this guy Songtsan Gampo, "Is Tuyuhun's next door to Tuyuhun in Tibet?" ”

"Exactly." Li Tai nodded.

"You said that this Tuguhun doesn't fight with Tubo, what kind of strength does it have with our Datang." Gu Qing ate another half of his elbow.

Li Tai raised his eyes and smiled when he heard the words, "Tuyuhun and Tubo fight? Gu Qing has a clever plan? ”

"Nope." Gu Qing shook his head vigorously.

"Say goodbye to ink." Li Tai said, "Hurry up! If you don't say anything more, you won't send me food, just give me gruel. ”

"Okay, you Li Tai actually threatened me with such a vicious method." Gu Qing drank the wine.

"Alas, poor Wu Mei knelt in front of my mansion that day and asked me to save you, how could such a red face fall in love with you who wants money and is greedy."

"Wu Mei is going to beg you." Gu Qing sat up, "How is she?" ”

"It's okay, now she takes care of Sun Simiao." Li Tai asked anxiously, "You said, do you have an idea?" ”

The prison was very quiet, there were not many people in Gu Qing's cell, and the fat monk yawned and wanted to sleep.

"That's the way." Gu Qing said, "I'll just tell you, just listen to it, if you don't become your father, you can't chop off my head because of this." ”

"No!" Li Tai said, "Your dog's life, my father is not rare. ”

"As the old saying goes, there are always more solutions than problems." Gu Qing shook his fan, "Songtsan Gampo is a very ambitious person, he who has just pacified the various tribes in Tubo will not stoop to a corner, if Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty start a war, how can Songtsan Gampo, who is in the rear, have no ideas, he must think of taking advantage of the emptiness of Tuyuhun to take most of the territory of Tuyuhun, and the grassland is wealth on the grassland." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Qing thought of the trajectory of history, after Tuyuhun fought with the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo took Tubo to sweep Tuyuhun all over the ground.

"So we want to unite with Tubo and attack Tuyuhun?" Li Tai asked.

"No, no, no, I don't think it's necessary to unite with Tibet." Gu Qing said again, "The Tang Dynasty must send troops, we must block Tuyuhun near Liangzhou, and at the same time, we must cross the grassland and press in near Tubo, but can't we do it first?" ”

"What's the rule?" Li Tai knew that Gu Qing hadn't said the point yet.

After taking two steps back and forth, Gu Qing continued, "The first is to send two soldiers and horses, one of which is dressed as Tuyuhun's army, attacking the Tubo tribe, must attack just right, and the other soldier and horse is dressed as Tubo soldiers and horses to attack Tuyuhun's tribe, and when attacking Tuyuhun, you must be ruthless, and this hand must be two-pronged." ”

"Second, the Tuyuhun envoy will secretly take it when he enters Chang'an, don't leak the news! Then he sent Xizuo to spread the news in Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty and the Tuyuhun envoy discussed peace to join forces to attack Tubo. ”

"Third, the same dispatch was sent to spread the news in Tuyuhun, and Datang wants to unite with Tubo to counterattack Tuyuhun."

"Your idea ......," Li Tai thought for a long time, "why do you feel so damaged." ”

Gu Qing smiled and said nothing, thinking that the spy war back then was spies running all over the ground, what a small discordant plan.

"I want to enter the palace!" Li Tai hurriedly got up to leave, and suddenly stopped his steps and looked at Gu Qing suspiciously, "You said that Songtsen Gampo is an ambitious person, how do you know?" Do you know him? ”

"I know him, he doesn't know me." Gu Qing picked at his nose.

Li Tai left in a hurry, and the prison fell into silence again, and the snoring of the fat monk came from next door, "Stinky monk, come and play cards." ”

The fat monk changed his sleeping position and didn't react much.

In the East Palace, in front of Li Chengqian, sat the eldest grandson Chong, "Gu Qing is still in Dali Temple now, why is my father delayed." ”

"Gu Qing is just a small man who loves money, and he has won His Majesty's appreciation with movable type printing and new paper." The eldest grandson Chong sat down and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Li Chengqian looked at the candle flame in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cares about King Wei." Eldest Sun Chong smiled and said, "King Wei is the most threatening opponent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Li Tai hurriedly came to the Ganlu Palace, and at this time there was already a pot of porridge inside, and the main battle side and the peace side were arguing.
