Chapter 20: A War of Life and Death

Early the next morning.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you Datang mean?"

Li Shen looked at Lu Dongzan with a sneer, threw the holy decree on the table at Lu Dongzan's feet, and said coldly: "See for yourself." ”

After a while, looking at Lu Dongzan's embarrassed face, he said: "The crime of bullying the king, your little Tubo is simply bold, you have already welcomed the princess of a small country, and you still have the face to ask for the princess of the lonely Tang Dynasty." ”

"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and besides, if I marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo, I am also the queen, so why not? If Datang sends troops to Tibet in this way, are you Datang deceiving people too much? Lu Dongzan said with gloomy eyes.

"Too much deception? Lu Dongzan, Lone told you clearly, Lone bullied you Tubo, how can you take Lone? ”

"Are you so easy to bully when I am Tibet?"

Li Shen smiled and said: "They are all smart people, Lone doesn't talk so much about you, Datang's face is lost, Lone must be recovered, even if Lone is unwilling to get it back, the people of Datang, and the millions of soldiers of Datang will not agree." The battle between Datang and Tubo is inevitable, and Lone is not such an unreasonable person, Datang sent 100,000 troops this time, all of them are the most elite soldiers on the battlefield, Lone will give you half a month, half a month's time, let's see you on the battlefield. ”

The clearer he says, the better, Li Shen doesn't bother to spend that effort to find a reason, that is, to attack you Tubo, what can you do, who makes me Datang stronger than you, without any reason, a weak country will have to be bullied by a strong country.

In the face of absolute power, any intrigue is useless, and everything you will be shattered with one punch, what is the use.

Looking at Lu Dongzan, who was full of anger, Li Shen smiled and said: "Don't say that you won't be given a chance, a battle will determine life and death, if Tubo is defeated, according to your Lu Xiang's cleverness, you should be able to understand what the fate of Tubo is?" ”

"Then I want to see if you can take me to Tibet?"

Looking at the back of Lu Dongzan turning around and throwing his sleeves away, Li Shen smiled proudly.

Sometimes things are so simple to solve, and in half a month, the Tibetan army should be able to assemble.

"Your Highness, is the time too rushed, and in half a month, they can't prepare at all?" Su Dingfang said.

Li Shen shook his hand and said: "Enough, don't forget, we will march in half a month, arrive in the territory of Tubo, and it will be a long time before we officially meet their army. ”

Su Dingfang nodded slightly, although he was determined to be able to take down all the troops of Tubo with 3,000 people, but there was still no bottom in his heart, no one knew how many soldiers and horses Tubo would send, in case of a mistake, the consequences would be much more serious at that time.

"Arrange spies for Tibet, closely monitor the movements of Tibet, and send a small team of soldiers and horses into the territory of Tibet to investigate the terrain of Tibet." Li Shen said to Su Dingfang.

"The end is coming."

"It's all gone, let the soldiers rest and rest for more than ten days, eat and drink well, don't save any money, the expenses of these ten days will be recorded on Lone's head when the time comes."

"Your Highness, this is what you said, then I Lao Cheng is welcome." Cheng Biting Jin laughed and Mimi shouted loudly.

Hanzhou is still far away from the city of Luo in Tibet.

Li Shen's words are so clear, Lu Dongzan also knows that this battle is inevitable, and he also knows that the Tang Dynasty has long wanted to use troops against Tubo, and no matter how much he says, it is useless, and now he can only face a battle before the two sides can calm down.

100,000 of the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan feels a little headache when he thinks about it, the 100,000 Tang Dynasty's army Tubo is difficult to compete without an army of 300,000, and there are so many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is 300,000, they are all a little dangerous, weapons or anything are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, this battle is not good, Tubo is really going to perish.

Entered the palace.

Lu Dongzan saluted Songtsen Gampo with his eyes closed, and said, "The old minister has seen Zampu. ”

Opening his cloudy eyes, Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan and said lightly: "What the hell is going on?" Why did the Tang Dynasty send troops to Tibet for no reason? ”

Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly and said: "This is a conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty, they have long wanted to use troops against me in Tubo, but they can't find a more suitable excuse to play such a play." ”

Looking at Songtsen Gampo, he said, "Zampu, what should I do now?" ”

"Didn't he Li Chengqian say that a war would be a matter of life and death? Promise him. ”

"But the old minister feels that this is a conspiracy."

"Conspiracy or conspiracy! Datang wants to truly conquer Tibet this time, and it can't hide from it. ”

Then Songtsen Gampo closed his eyes and said, "Go down and make arrangements!" And he began to mutter.

Lu Dongzan glanced at Songtsan Gampo and sighed in a low voice, this Buddhism is really deadly, I knew that I should not have used this Buddhism as a way to control the thoughts of the Tibetan people, but now it is okay, even Zampu is deeply immersed in this Buddhist thought.

Tubo is sparsely populated, and belongs to the nomadic people, and sometimes there is no shadow of the Tibetan people even a hundred and ten miles away.

The army carried out the territory of Tibet, and did not hide it in the slightest, and went directly to the capital of Tibet.

Seeing the large-scale army of the Tang Dynasty entering Tibet, the small cities along the way had already gone to the empty city, and they marched all the way down to a distance of three or four hundred miles, without even the slightest obstacle, which was very smooth.

The speed at which the army marched was relatively slow, and Li Shen did not want to meet the Tibetan army now.

This small-scale war was not necessary for the army of the Tang Dynasty, but would add unprovoked sacrifices.

Li Shen doesn't have any ambitions, he still insists on letting the people on this land live in peace and clean up all the threats around him, so that Datang can develop the domestic situation in a stable manner.

As for the accident of sending troops to Asia, he has not considered it for the time being.

The transportation is inconvenient, and the troops are too far away, which is also a big threat to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, which is easy to cause death.

He also thought about it, and in this life, he will first control the land of Asia tightly in his hands.

In the future, it is enough to leave the things to the children and grandchildren, mainly to improve all aspects of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, he also thought it through, life is short for a few decades, it is better to live well, stay by the side of the family, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Datang did not have him before, and the people of China still have not always continued to pass it on.
