Wei Zheng noticed that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was insisting on using Hou Junji, so it was difficult to say anything.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with thought in his heart. For the opening of Hou Junji, in addition to the above reasons, Li Shimin also has a reason why he has to use Hou Junji. In recent years, Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was jointly supported by the wealthy clan of Shandong and the southern scholar clan, has become too loud, and the crown prince Chengqian, who is supported by the Guanlong aristocratic clique, is faintly powerful and cannot support the situation, and the prince Chengqian, who is supported by the Guanlong aristocratic clique, Li Shimin is still very willing to see the Guanlong aristocratic clique and the prince Chengqian win, so Li Shimin wants to release the prince's father-in-law, Hou Junji, to help a group of princes Chengqian.

The Tubo army, inside the tent, Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan sat opposite each other.

Lu Dongzan's respectful Songtsen Gampo said: "The minister never expected that Zampu would come to this army, and the minister is really flattered. ”

Songtsen Gampo said happily: "Dazhuo, my Tubo war against Tuyuhun is a good fight. In one fell swoop, he defeated the 200,000 elite army that Tuyuhun relied on to save his life, and from then on, Tuyuhun could only be slaughtered by my Tubo at will, and Tuyuhun's status as a great power could only be replaced by my Tubo. Ben Zampu learned that the Tang Emperor had ordered the Duke of Luguo Junji to be the commander of the army, the right leader of the army General Wei Zhi lost Sili as the head of the march of Bailan Road out of Longyou, the general of the left Wuwei Niu Jinda as the head of the march of the Kuoshui Road, and the vanguard of the former army went out of Songzhou and raised 50,000 troops to attack my Tibet. Anyway, how do you think this battle should be fought next? ”

Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "Zampu, this Tang Dynasty still can't change the problem of arrogance." The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still despises me too much in Tibet, I have 180,000 warriors in Tibet, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually ordered 50,000 troops to crusade against us, and the minister thought that the Tang Dynasty was fighting with me in Tibet this time. It's going to be a big one. ”

Songtsen Gampo also smiled: "The Tang Emperor sent 50,000 Tang troops, a lot, don't forget, the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, the casualty ratio is one to six, the casualties of a Tang soldier." In exchange for the death and wounding of six Turks. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are well-trained and well-equipped, and the Tang Emperor was able to send 50,000 people to conquer my Tibet, in his heart, he still attaches great importance to my Tibet? ”

Lu Dongzan sneered: "Datang attaches importance to me in Tibet? Hmph, contempt, contempt, this time, the minister also hopes that Zampu can let the minister continue to lead the army, and the minister will let the proud and arrogant Tang people see. How brave and good are my Tibetan warriors, and how strong are my Tibetan warriors? ”

Songtsen Gampo said with a serious face: "Okay, Da Lun, this time you will lead the army to deal with the attack of the Tang Dynasty." Come, talk about your plan to use troops, and let's discuss it together. ”

Lu Dongzan said to Songtsen Gampo: "This time I fought with the Tang Dynasty, and I thought that the war could not be fought, nor could it be fought too much. Don't fight. will make the arrogant Tang continue to look down on me Tubo, and I Tubo will still not be respected by Datang; Hit too big. After all, Datang is the number one country today, it really hurts him, he will retaliate comprehensively, and when the time comes, I may be difficult to resist in Tibet. Therefore, the minister decided not to duel with Hou Junji's army, but to fight with Niu Jinda, the vanguard general of the Tang army. After all, the purpose of this war launched by my Tubo is to win the respect of the Tang Dynasty and let the Tang Emperor allow the Tang Dynasty princess to marry Zampu, rather than fully opening the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. ”

Songtsen Gampo said: "What the Great Treatise says is extremely true. It's a good idea, and it's a good plan. As long as we defeat the vanguard army of Niu Jinda, the general of Zuo Wuwei and the head of the Kuoshui Road March, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably realize the strength of our Tubo national strength and the courage of our soldiers, and will inevitably give Tubo enough attention and respect. Ben Zampu's marriage to the Tang princess will also be relatively easy. Then how to decide how to fight with the forward army of Niu Jinda, the general of the Tang Dynasty Zuo Wuwei and the head of the Kuoshuidao March? ”

Lu Dongzan said: "Zampu, this Niu Jinda is also a Tang Dynasty general, when the heroes of the late Sui Dynasty were divided, he was brave and good at fighting, good at fighting tough battles, good at attacking, and famous all over the world. The 5,000 Tang troops under his command are not from the 12 Wei Army, the most elite of the Tang Dynasty stationed in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but from the auxiliary army of Tang Shuzhong, but most of these auxiliary troops have followed the first person in the Tang Dynasty military, Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, to quell the territorial rebellion, and can be regarded as a good war, so the minister is ready to retreat step by step, attract Niu Jinda into the plateau, and then ambush with heavy troops, completely annihilating this Tang army, and then take advantage of the arrival of Hou Junji to lead the army, order heavy troops to defend the various fortresses on the plateau, Avoid fighting with the Tang Dynasty, I wonder if Zampu thinks it is feasible for the minister to arrange it like this? ”

Songtsen Gampo was pensive and said: "Niu Jinda is in command of the five thousand Tang Dynasty auxiliary army, not the most elite Twelve Guards army in the Tang Dynasty, and the purpose of my Tubo battle is to show the Tang Dynasty the national strength of my Tubo, my Tubo military strength, arouse the attention of the Tang Dynasty to my Tubo, and let the Tang Emperor Li Shimin agree to marry the Tang princess to my Tubo, since this is the case, then why do we use stratagem, why don't we fight openly in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, yes, in Songzhou, and the Tang Dynasty openly?" If I fight a battle openly, I won the battle in Tibet, and Datang did not pay attention to my Tibet, and had to respect my Tibet; If I fail in Tibet, then Zanpu will break off the idea of marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty, bow down to the Tang Dynasty, and serve the Tang Dynasty as the suzerainty of my Tubo, and the Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan. The strength of a country is the guarantee of a country's dignity, Ben Zampu wants to see, what is the strength of this Datang? How much is the gap between the strength of my Tubo and that Datang? ”

Lu Dongzan said: "What Zampu said is extremely true, my Tubo can only fight with Datang openly, and the effect of this battle is the best, so that Datang can see the strength of my Tubo more clearly, and I Tubo can also see the gap with Datang more clearly." The minister supports Zampu to fight like this, but how many troops does Zampu want to mobilize to fight with Datang in an open battle? ”

Songtsen Gampo said: "Didn't Niu Jinda lead the 5,000 Tang army? I, Tibet, also sent 5,000 troops, and made an appointment with them to fight a battle with them in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Five thousand troops?" Lu Dongzan groaned: "Zanpu, I only sent 5,000 troops in Tibet, isn't this too risky, the army of the Tang Dynasty is well-trained and well-equipped, one-on-one, this is too risky." ”

Songtsen Gampo said, "What are you afraid of? As the Great Commentary said, Niu Jinda is not the elite Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty, but the auxiliary army from the Tang Dynasty, a second-line army, this time Ben Zampu decided to send the most elite troops of my Tubo to protect the white yak elite soldiers of Ben Zampu to meet the enemy, how can it be invincible?
