Listening to the eldest grandson Wuji's urgent letter, everyone was angry, but after the anger, they soon became a little silent again.

The silence was a bit scary, the civilian officials did not express their position, the military attachés did not say anything, even famous generals and militants like Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao did not rush to express their position.

One fact that everyone can't avoid is that when the Tang Dynasty rose, the uncivilized barbarian country of Tubo in the eyes of everyone has quietly become a behemoth that threatens the Tang Dynasty, they come and go like the wind, fierce in battle, although the equipment is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but it is not completely at a disadvantage in battle, a nomadic nation, once there is a war, all the people are soldiers, and they live in the "cursed land" beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty, which can not help but make people headaches.

There is also a status quo that everyone does not want to face, that is, the elite divisions of the southern and northern wars during the founding of the Tang Dynasty, after a few years of comfortable life, the old and old, even those who are still in the army, have lost more of their sharpness, enjoy the status quo, the blood and madness on the battlefield, even if they sweat on the training ground, it is difficult to experience, after several eliminations, now the army of the Tang Dynasty can no longer be commensurate with the division of tigers and wolves.

A wolf, bred in captivity, does not hunt in the wilderness, does not fight with wild beasts, eats and lives well every day, slowly, its blood is lost, it is no longer called a wolf, that is called a dog, it is said that the dog was domesticated by wolves before.

"Father, the child is willing to lead the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, cut off the head of Songtsen Gampo, and dedicate it to his father." Li Chengqian was not afraid of tigers when he was born, and none of the generals asked for his life, but he asked for his life first.

Li Tai saw that Li Chengqian had taken the lead, and hurriedly followed: "The sons are also willing to relieve their father's worries." ”

Li Er said with a relieved face: "Okay, you two are brave and filial, but leading troops to fight is a major matter of the country, and you can't be sloppy." So many of you uncles are still alive, where is your turn to go into battle, just learn a little. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said calmly: "According to the analysis of the situation, that Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo is also a remarkable figure, this person has proposed marriage to the Tang Dynasty several times, and he failed to marry the princess, and he actually raised troops to violate the border, which is really hateful. ”

Songtsen Gampo in order to show off his strength. He committed several offenses, and sent an envoy to Chang'an, asking Li Er to marry the princess to him, and his attitude was still a little arrogant, saying that in order to avoid fighting each other and living in harmony. hinted that if he didn't get what he wanted, he would send troops to Chang'an to marry. Such threats. Where can Li Er endure it, the Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, with many soldiers and generals, if he is threatened by a barbarian country, where is his face? Where is the dignity?

Li Er directly rejected his request and drove the envoy out of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to not accepting the reason for not loving a barbarian country. There is another reason that Li Er and the civil and military officials are unacceptable, that is, Tubo Puzan Songtsen Gampo has married a Nepalese princess, that is, Datang is willing to marry the princess to him. In fact, it is to be someone else's little wife, how can Li Er and the civil and military officials accept it? Don't you think you're inferior, and you stretch your face over for others to step on?

In fact, there is a fact that many people do not want to face is that Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, which is not as beautiful as depicted in the history books, she is only the sixth concubine of Songtsan Gampo, not only in terms of status, but also in terms of attention, many times she plays the role of a maid.

I didn't expect that Songtsan Gampo was so bold, he couldn't ask for a kiss, and he really raised troops to invade the country, and chose to be on such an important and festive day, he simply didn't take Datang in his eyes, from the founding of Datang to the present, for a woman who dares to provoke Datang like this, he is still the number one!

Li Er said decisively: "It's just a little Tubo, why are you afraid, Uncle Guo, Cheng Aiqing, Wei Chi Aiqing, Cheng Aiqing, Hou Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, follow me to the imperial study to discuss countermeasures, others can't mess up, continue to drink and enjoy the lanterns, can't Tubo destroy this happy and peaceful atmosphere, the sky, can't fall." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wechen obeys"

"Obey the Order"

Everyone hurriedly received the order, Li Er left with a few important ministers in the army, and the rest of the people, under the persuasion of the eldest grandson, drank happily again, but there was no relaxed atmosphere just now, and it was estimated that their minds were not here.

With a "bang", in the imperial study, Li Er smashed his fist on the desk, and said angrily: "What a Songtsan Gampo, I really think that Datang is his back garden, come if you want, leave if you want, and be a bully?" ”

On such a festive day, this bad news came all of a sudden, it was extremely disappointing, especially the naked threat, it was simply unacceptable, Li Er felt that the blood that had been deliberately buried in his heart all these years was all stirred up at once.

Cheng Yanjin said angrily: "Your Majesty, let's fight, I can't bear it anymore, after all these years of recuperation, I don't believe it, and I can't help a little Tubo." ”

Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Now that they have all hit the door, can they still fight?" It's just, what we want to discuss now, how to fight? ”

"Hou Shangshu, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, and you are also responsible for the affairs of Tubo, why did such a big thing happen and you don't know how to do it, what is your explanation for this?" The eldest grandson Wuji is being held accountable, the 200,000 army is pressing, and the Tang Dynasty knows nothing, and it can be seen here how lacking the military department is in the information of Tubo, which is simply a dereliction of duty.

Hou Junji's face was a little embarrassed, and he knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Please punish the emperor, there is such a big mistake in the intelligence work this time, this is the minister's dereliction of duty." ”

Li Er waved his hand and said: "Get up, now is not the time to hold accountable, saving the "soldiers" is like fighting a fire, the top priority is to come up with an effective countermeasure, I ask you, why is Tubo suddenly in Songzhou, but the military department knows nothing?" ”

"Emperor" Hou Junji explained: "Tubo is a cursed place, Tufan and the Central Plains people have obvious differences, strangers to Tubo, no matter what they do, are very attention-grabbing, so it is difficult to send fine work in, and they all believe in their native religion, it is extremely difficult to rebel, the intelligence of the military department, mostly used to make fine work dressed as a business travel to collect, recently with Tufan bad relations, intelligence work is more difficult to carry out, this is one of them, followed by Tubo troops, are selected in the cool weather into the autumn season, there is no precedent for sending troops in winter, So there is also some slackness in intelligence. ”

Tubo is located on the plateau, with an average sea level of up to 35,000, and has a strong altitude sickness to ordinary people, even the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can not adapt, they can only "look at Tibet and sigh", and Tubo is also very unaccustomed to the warm weather of the Central Plains, especially in summer, often a large number of illnesses are sick, which is not conducive to warfare; The winter march is inconvenient, the grass is covered with snow, which is not conducive to livestock to find food, which is very inconvenient for the Tubo people who are accustomed to driving cattle to follow when sending troops and slaughtering them at any time to satisfy hunger, so they choose to send troops in spring and autumn, which has strong limitations.

However, unexpectedly, Songtsen Gampo actually raised troops to invade the country in winter, which was a surprise to everyone.

Such a large-scale march in the snowy field is not easy for Tubo, even when Hou Junji heard that the Tubo army appeared in Songzhou at this time, he couldn't help but admire the courage of Songtsen Gampo.

Wei Chi Jingde was a little embarrassed and said: "This time I raised 200,000 troops to commit crimes, Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath of this matter, and it is not good for those who come." ”

Hou Junji shook his head and said: "The so-called 200,000 army, but also just boasting about itself, Tubo has recently been fighting for many years, absorbing the surrounding tribes, working the people and losing money, the treasury is empty, the domestic war-weariness is very high, and he needs to recuperate, and the territory he just fought also needs time to digest, it is difficult to make any big achievements, Weichen estimates, it is good to have one-third of the number." ”

Although Tubo broke the routine and sent troops in winter, catching himself off guard, in fact, there was no business traveler in the snowy winter, and Songtsen Gampo must have also made precise arrangements, such as closing checkpoints, blocking arteries and other measures, so as to achieve a surprising effect.

Although such a major variable has occurred, Li Er and the others in the imperial study still have calm faces, and Tubo has wanted to get rid of this thorn in the eye early in the morning, and they have also secretly trained a new army to deal with Tubo, but the army of Tubo came earlier than everyone imagined.

"Fight!" Li Er said without hesitation: "We must not retreat, now we discuss, how to fight this battle?" ”

Hou Junji hesitated for a moment, then said firmly to Li Er: "Your Majesty, let's use a lone wolf trick to draw a plan, although it is not the best time, but this opportunity is also rare." ”

"Lone wolf plan?" Li Er's eyes lit up, he thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, I've been preparing for so long, just to test the quality of this new army." ”

"Your Majesty, that, Captain Liu is alone now, his body is still thin, that kind of bitter cold place, I don't know if he can stand it, by the way, and the eldest grandson Shaoqing, this is too dangerous, it is too much worse than our original plan, and it adds a lot of unstable factors, do you want to re-examine it?" Hou Junji said a little worriedly.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "The jade is not pecked, it is not a weapon, the plan of the recruits, the Lord is Liu Yuan's offering, and he knows a lot about the land of Tubo, it is necessary to bring him, as for Chong'er, I have to think about it." ”

I wanted Changsun Chong to follow and brush up some military merits, so that he could hold his head more high, but the plan of the battle was after the spring, and now it has advanced to winter, which has increased a lot of unstable factors, Changsun Chong is the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and cold arrows are difficult to defend, even Li Er, he does not dare to dare to be the master of Changsun Chong casually.

"Emperor" eldest grandson Wuji said firmly: "Let Chong'er follow the army and set off, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is, this is an opportunity to prove himself, the eldest grandson family, there is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

"Well said, as long as Ji Lu draws well, we can teach Tubo a hard lesson, hit it until it hurts, and beat it until it is served." Li Er praised it, turned his head to Hou Junji and said, "Hou Aiqing, implement the lone wolf plan in advance." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty" Hou Junji hurriedly received the order.

Li Er personally took out a map, beckoned everyone to approach, and said cautiously: "The plan is ahead of schedule, and the situation has changed, let's discuss all the details and links, by the way, send someone to find Liu Yuan, the captain of Zhaowu."
