Zhang Xuan discussed with everyone - a major military affair, and was about to end, when a soldier suddenly came to report.

"The Governor of Qiyu, the prince of Tubo, Chisong Dezan, asks to see!"

Zhang Xuan was stunned, then smiled indifferently and waved his hand, "Let the prince of Tubo come in." ”

Tri Song Detsen waited anxiously outside the tabernacle, unaware of the rain soaking his clothes.

He didn't know why Zhang Xuan changed his route and took such a strange marching route. Obviously there is a regular route to take, but he has to take a detour, what is his intention?

This time he went to Longshuo to protect Princess Wanchun and his relatives, and he actually walked slowly towards the east of the Fanyang River in An Lushan. Chi Song Dezan thought about it for a whole day, wanting to owe Heng Zhang Xuan's thoughts, and he was anxious, so he simply came to ask in person.

No one knew that Zhang Xuan's seemingly strange continuation march directly disrupted Trisong Dezan's strategic intentions, and it could even be said that his conspiracy went bankrupt.

Chisong Dezan had already agreed to the Tang Dynasty to make peace, and sent the news of Princess Wanchun and her pro-Tubo back ♀ At that time, on the border between Tubo and Longshuo, I am afraid that there were already hundreds of thousands of Tubo iron horsemen ready to go, although they were preparing to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty to welcome their relatives.

In fact, just half a month ago, on the front line of Ezhou, Linyao, Hezhou, and Minzhou, the Tubo army covered all fronts and spread their fists. And Geshuhan, in Hexi, was therefore worried, and led the whole army to wait for the day, and had already entered a state of combat readiness, ready to meet the mountain-like Tubo army attack.

Greeting relatives is just a high-sounding excuse÷ the real purpose of the Tibetan people is to take the opportunity to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty and take the Tang Dynasty by surprise, not to attack the city, but to burn and plunder the property to raise troops in battle.

After a winter, the food of the Tubo people is scarce, and all kinds of materials are even more scarce, and in the eyes of the Tubo people, the Tang Dynasty is close to the state capitals of Longshuo and Hexi in Tubo, and it has always been the capital of Tubo's money and grain, and the base camp of logistics supply.

This strategic plan was led by Trisong Detsen. Don't say it, this person is worthy of being a famous lord of Zhongxing in the history of Tubo, both in terms of strategic vision and overall awareness, he sees that the Tang Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and there are hidden moves; In the view of Chisong Dezan, the Tubo people plundered under the banner of welcoming relatives and returned with a full load, and the Tang people would definitely be dumb and unable to say that they would suffer from Coptis chinensis, and they would never dare to use troops against Tubo because of this.

And if the Tang Dynasty officially uses troops, Tubo will immediately retreat back to the old nest of the Tubo Plateau. Tri Song Dezan expected that the Tang army would never penetrate deep into the rivalry of Tibet for more than 100 years, and the Tang army was more of a "self-defense and counterattack war", and never took the initiative to attack.

Generally regain lost ground and then hold on. That's it.

Naturally, Zhang Xuan did not get clear news. It's just that Zhang Xuan thinks that with Chisong Dezan as a person, he will definitely take the opportunity of kissing this time to make a move ♀, and he can be called a hero in the world, how can he not control this kind of opportunity.

Therefore, he ordered the army to divert its route, which can be regarded as a precautionary response, and it can also be regarded as an invisible temptation.

Trisong Dezan strode into the tent and arched his hand to Zhang Xuan, who was on it, "The Grand Duke." ”

In the end, the result is the prince of Tubo, the current commander of the Tang Dynasty. On the bright side, Zhang Xuan is not rude.

Zhang Xuan got up and returned the salute and smiled, "His Royal Highness Trisong Dezan, please take a seat." ”

Trisong Dezan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to sit, the king is here just to ask the Metropolitan Governor face to face, why did he suddenly change the route and march?" The Metropolitan Governor is going to Longshuo to be a vassal and is going to welcome Princess Wanchun back to Tibet, and our current marching route is just that the kings don't understand, and please make it clear to the Metropolitan Governor! ”

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "Oh, that's right. The officer received a military report that the path from Puzhou to the northwest to Gyeongju was blocked, and the road was not in Heng, so the officer decided to take a detour. Hehe, please rest assured, this official will send His Royal Highness and Princess Wanchun to Tubo safely. ”

Trisong Dezan frowned, "What the Metropolitan Governor said, Xiao Wang doesn't understand. The official road from Chang'an to Longshuo is very smooth, when Xiao Wang was in Chang'an, he just had an entourage from Tubo, how could the road be blocked? ”

"Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor deliberately delayed the marriage between Xiao Wang and His Royal Highness Wanchun, and sabotaged the peace and relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo?"

"If the Metropolitan Governor does not give Xiao Wang a satisfactory answer, Xiao Wang will return to Chang'an and ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison State for an explanation!"

Tri Song Dezan's words are cold and unstoppable.

Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, and his voice became cold, "His Royal Highness Trisong Dezan is really a big show!" What does this official want to give you? ”

"As the envoy of Tang Fan and his family, the duty of this official is to escort His Royal Highness and Princess Wanchun safely to Tubo ♀ It has only been two days since he left Chang'an District, and His Royal Highness Trisong Dezan can't wait to return to Tubo, could it be that he has other plans?"

"Destroying Tang Fan and his relatives? What a big hat. Zhang Xuan sneered, Huo Ran got up and raised his hand and said, "Ask His Royal Highness Trisong Dezan, for the sake of the march of the army and the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, why should this official change the route slightly?" Even if this official takes His Highness around the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he still has to rush to Tubo in the end, and his Highness can't wait for a few days? ”

Chisong Dezan has a lot of aura, but Zhang Xuan doesn't eat this set at all, and he is even stronger.

Trisong Dezan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Our country has sent a welcoming mission to wait in the Tangbo Frontier, and the wedding date between Xiao Wang and Princess Wanchun has already been set. ”

A trace of coldness shot out of Zhang Xuan's eyes, and it flashed away on Chisong Dezan's body.

"Then let your country's welcoming mission wait for two days first, what are you panicking about? Tang Fan and his relatives are a major marriage between the two countries, how can they be done in a hurry. Okay, this official still has to discuss military affairs with the generals, Your Highness, please go back≡ don't be impatient, this official has his responsibilities, and there will be no slackness. ”

"Come on, send the prince of Tubo back to the camp to rest in peace!"

Zhang Xuan shouted.

Several fierce soldiers rushed in and surrounded Trisong Detsen.

The corners of Chisong Dezan's mouth twitched, and he suddenly laughed, and arched his hand to Zhang Xuan again, "But it's Xiao Wang who is anxious." That's it, Xiao Wang retired first! If there is rudeness, please don't blame the metropolitan governor! ”

Trisong Detsen turned around and left, his expression calm and calm, without dragging mud and water.

It's just that the moment he turned around, his face immediately became gloomy like water.

"Could it be that our army gathered on the Tang frontier and made the Tang people aware of it? Could it be that Ge Shuhan in Hexi sent an urgent report to Chang'an? Otherwise, how could Zhang Xuan suddenly change his route and deliberately delay time. While walking out, Trisong Detsen was thinking in his heart, and secretly decided to go back and immediately send someone to take the path to Tubo and spread the news.

Looking at the back of Chisong Dezan leaving, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Chong hesitated for a moment, got up and arched his hand, "Metropolitan Governor, the lower official has a few words to say." ”

"Lord Feng, please speak." Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"The Metropolitan Governor, from the point of view of the following officials, this Tubo people have always been untrustworthy and untrustworthy, although this time they are married to our dynasty and relatives, but they also prohibit the ambition of the Tibetan wolf, and under the pretext of welcoming relatives, they rushed into my Tang Dynasty frontier to plunder the border people and rob the grain and grass."

Feng Chong paused and said, "The Metropolitan Governor has changed his route and detoured, so he must also be worried about this∠ Delay the day, the Tubo military horses must be ashamed if they can't expect the army's heart, if they act rashly, they have Ge Shuhan's Hexi military horses and Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi's Longshuo defenders to resist it." ”

In fact, Feng Chong still has a sentence in his heart that he has not said, if the Tubo people use troops without authorization and attack the Tang Dynasty, this matter of harmony will naturally be done◎ Princess Chun has no need to go to Tubo again.

Zhang Xuan looked at Feng Chong and laughed, "Lord Feng is really far-reaching, worthy of being a famous minister in the world, and he can see the good intentions of this official at a glance." ”

Feng Chong smiled bitterly, "Xiaguan pinched, if it weren't for this Tubo prince coming here, Xiaguan really wouldn't have thought of this festival." The metropolitan governor is far-sighted, and Feng is ashamed. ”

"However, ÷ Tibet has always coveted the lush territory of my Tang Dynasty, and this official expects that this time Tubo will take advantage of the matter of welcoming relatives to start an army to disrupt my Tang Frontier. Therefore, this official decided to take a detour, delay as much time as possible, and break the plan of the Tubo people. ”

"The so-called people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries. Regardless of whether the Tubo people have a conspiracy or not, let's take a detour and drag it on the road for a few days before entering Longshuo, and there is no loss.

The longer our side drags on, the more fully prepared the horses of Hexi and Longshuo will be. Zhang Xuan laughed out loud again, "This Tibetan prince is so uninteresting, this official took him all the way to visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and appreciate the customs of the Central Plains, he is still chirping!" ”

Feng Chong and the others also laughed.

Zhang Xun looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile, and was secretly in awe in his heart.

It is said that Zhang Xuan's plan is not too surprising, and it can be said that there is no "technical content" at all, but the key to the problem is that Zhang Xuan's profound vision and overall situation are almost demonic. No matter how ordinary things are, most people don't think about it, and they don't think about it

How can a young man who has just been in the age of a weak crown not be daunted by such a strategy and such an open-mindedness? Zhang Xun sighed in his heart and slowly lowered his head.

Zhang Xuan's handsome tent has a council hall in front and a bedroom in the back.

Zhang Xuan went to Longshuo without bringing his family and maids, and there was only one Hua Nuer dressed in men's clothes with him, and Hua Nu'er's identity was also a personal guard. Of course, most of Feng Chong and the others knew Hua Nu'er's identity.

Hua Nu'er sat quietly in the back, but her ears were erected, listening to the news in the front hall, slightly distracted.

Zhang Xuan slowly opened the curtain and walked in, coughing lightly.

Hua Nu'er woke up suddenly, got up silently with a complicated expression, and stood on one side with her head down. @。
