The rich and prosperous Tang Dynasty, who doesn't want it? Songtsen Gampo knew in his heart that as long as he gave the order to attack the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely gather in response, and he didn't know how many generals were vying to be the vanguard, Songtsen Gampo laughed.

"Zagigon, although you did not complete the mission of the envoy, but you heard the important information of Li Yong's expedition, and sent the news back in time, so that I can arrange it calmly, very good, this is a great achievement, and it should be rewarded!"

Zagigon couldn't help but get down on one knee in excitement and said respectfully.

"Thank you Zampu, I am willing to go to the soup for Zampu, and I will not hesitate!"

After thanking him, Zagigon retreated contentedly, and Songtsen Gampo paced in the hall for a moment, still unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and commanded.

"Go, please come over, and say that there is something important to discuss."

Immediately, a guard respectfully agreed, Songtsen Gampo sat down again, and then pondered, hearing that there was something important to discuss, Lu Dongzan quickly hurried over.

"Meet Zampu!"

Lu Dongzan bowed slightly, and Songtsan Gampo said happily.

"Zagigon has returned from the Tang Dynasty, guess what, what good news did he bring back?"

What's the good news? It is nothing more than that the mission was successful, Lu Dongzan said with a smile.

"Could it be that the Tang Emperor has agreed to sue for peace and will no longer send troops to give up Tuyuhun? This is really God helping us to Tibet! ”

Songtsen Gampo shook his head slightly and smiled.

"No, no, the Tang Emperor has decided to send troops, but it is true that God helps us to Tubo, and Zagigon has brought back better news than the Tang Dynasty is not sending troops to Tuyuhun."

At this time, even Lu Dongzan couldn't help but be stunned, he asked suspiciously and curiously.

"Is there better news than Datang not sending troops? The minister really couldn't think of it. ”

Songtsen Gampo laughed when he heard this.

"Guess who is leading the troops this time?"

It turned out to be related to the candidate for the leader of the Tang Army? Lu Dongzan's mind was racing, is the person who led the Tang Army still a straw bag this time? It shouldn't be, the Tang Emperor is not stupid, the person who led the troops this time must be stronger than Zhang Liang, so why is Zampu so happy? Who led the troops to make Zampu so happy? Suddenly, Lu Dongzan had a flash of inspiration, could it be that the person who led the troops was Li Yong? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, and Lu Dongzan asked excitedly.

"Zampu, shouldn't it be Li Yong who led the troops?"

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"I know that I can't hide it, yes, it's Li Yong who leads the troops to the battle! I never dreamed of Li Yong! It's a pity that Li Yong has been staying in Chang'an, even if I want to snatch Li Yong away, I don't have a chance, I didn't expect it! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually ordered Li Yong to lead his troops to the battle, isn't this God helping us to Tubo? I really want to write a letter to thank the Tang Emperor! ”

Although Lu Dongzan was afraid of Li Yong when he heard this, in the face of such an opportunity, because the development of Tubo over the years had made him swell, and now he couldn't help but get excited.

"It's really Li Yong! Li Yong wants to lead troops to the northwest! This is a great opportunity! ”

Songtsen Gampo laughed.

"So, say that God bless us in Tibet!"

After being excited for a while, Lu Dongzan also calmed down a little and groaned.

"Zampu, the Tang Emperor shouldn't let Li Yong take command, right? Although Li Yong is talented, he is still too young after all, Datang has already lost a game, and in order to be safe, he should choose a veteran to take charge! ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded with a smile.

"The big guess is right, the real leaders of the Tang Army this time are Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong, and Li Yong is guarding the grain and grass with the Shenji Battalion."

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but think about it when he heard it, and muttered.

"Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong are all battle-hardened veterans, especially Xu Shiji, this man is resourceful and resourceful, not to be underestimated, and if Li Yong is guarding the grain and grass in the rear, then we must go deep into the rear, the Shenji Battalion has firearms, and it is not easy to defend the city, if you want to break the city and capture Li Yong!"

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"It's really not easy, but the person we want to capture alive is Li Yong! How could it be easy? However, if Li Yong is captured alive, it will be worth the casualties, even if he loses Tuyuhun! ”

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this, even if there were many casualties, even if he lost the occupied Tuyuhun, it was worth it, because Li Yong's value was immeasurable, even if he lost the occupied Tuyuhun, he would send troops to occupy it in the future, Lu Dongzan nodded.

"What Zampu said is that the most important thing in this battle is not to defeat the Tang Army, but how to capture Li Yong alive!"

Songtsen Gampo nodded.

"Not only is it not easy to break the city, but also to guard against Xu Shiji and them leading troops back to help. Just now, I also thought about it carefully, if you only rely on the soldiers and horses stationed in Tuyuhun, it will be difficult to break the city and capture Li Yong. ”

Lu Dong agreed.

"It is true that we have to send troops to reinforce it, and the best strategy is to send a group of soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as the main force, attract Li Ji's attention, mobilize them all the way west, and then assemble the main force of soldiers and horses to attack the rear, and then capture Li Yong in one fell swoop!"

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.

"The prime minister and I thought about it together, I was still thinking just now, I want to personally lead the troops to reinforce and personally lead the troops to capture Li Yong!"

Lu Dongzan heard this and hurriedly said.

"Zampu, no, the Han people have a saying, the son of a daughter can't sit down, Zampu is in danger of the safety of Tibet, when he is in charge, how can he take risks in person? The minister is willing to lead the troops to reinforcements, and he must capture Li Yong and present it in front of Zampu. ”

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"I'm not one of those Han emperors who don't dare to go out of the deep palace, since I took over the position of Zampu, I have been fighting in the south and north to unify the plateau over the years, how big and small are more than a hundred battles, why worry about it?"

Lu Dongzan said earnestly.

"After all, it is deep behind enemy lines, and Datang's firearms are really powerful, otherwise, Datang would not have destroyed Goguryeo so quickly.

Songtsen Gampo shook his head slightly.

"Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, if you don't personally lead the troops, I don't worry! Although it is deep behind the enemy, there is no danger, we Tubo men can fight well, even if Xu Shiji and they return, I can also retreat with the army, there is no male city in that place, if Li Yong is stationed in Chang'an, Luoyang like a male city, then I naturally don't think about it, but Li Yong is stationed in a low small city, even if the firearms are powerful, how much power can be exerted? I personally led the troops to boost morale, and with a surprise attack, I will definitely be able to break through the city where Li Yong is stationed in one fell swoop and capture Li Yong! ”

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, he also had to admit that Zampu's analysis was very reasonable, speaking of which Zampu was actually the first general in Tubo, and Zampu with a large army even if they met Xu Shiji, who was coming back, they would definitely be able to retreat, so that there would be no danger, and more importantly, Zampu personally led the troops to the battle, which could boost morale and have a greater confidence to capture Li Yong in one fell swoop, of course, there must be dangers, if Zampu, thinking of this, Lu Dongzan said respectfully.

"Zampu is wise, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if Zampu personally leads the troops to attack, he will be able to capture Li Yong in one fell swoop, with Li Yong, Zampu will be able to create a great cause that has never been seen before or since!"

This is exactly the dream of Songtsen Gampo! Therefore, Lu Dongzan's words went to his heart, and Songtsen Gampo said happily.

"The most important thing now is to find out where Li Yong is guarding the grain and grass."

Lu Dongzan nodded.

"It shouldn't be difficult to inquire, so the minister will order to go down and let Longyou's spies find out as soon as possible."

Songtsen Gampo nodded slightly.

"Give Saamu an order to temporarily shrink his forces and wait for orders."

Lu Dongzan hurriedly went, Songtsen Gampo then ordered his guards to go to the order to mobilize troops and horses, in order to capture Li Yong alive, he was able to mobilize all the troops that Tubo could mobilize, but then Songtsan Gampo thought of a question, if Li Yong was captured, Li Yong was unwilling to surrender, what should I do? Even if Li Yong is tied back, if Li Yong refuses to surrender or reveal the secret recipe, what should he do? Do you want to torture to extract confessions? After thinking about it, Songtsen Gampo turned around and walked out of the main hall, the direction he was traveling was the dormitory of Princess Zhenzhu, and the maids of Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but wonder when they saw Zampu coming, didn't Zampu just come? Why is it here again? A group of maids hurriedly bowed down to salute, and Princess Zhenzhu in the dormitory was looking at the book in her hand with some boredom, when she suddenly heard the voice of the maid outside, she was also surprised, why did she come back again? When did my brother become so idle?

"What are you doing again?"

Without waiting for her brother to speak, Princess Zhenzhu had already asked impatiently, and Songtsen Gampo smiled.

"Zhenzhu, I went back and thought about it, and I think I should find you a colt, and I already have a good candidate."

Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but sink in her heart when she heard this, and snorted coldly.

"If you are not afraid that I will kill him, you can arrange it, I am your own sister, you should understand that I am the same as you, I have always done what I say."

If her brother really arranged a colt for her, then she would really kill him at the wedding, but she didn't want to kill anyone, so she still hoped that her brother wouldn't arrange a colt for her, and she also hoped that others would be able to retreat when they heard the rumors, Songtsan Gampo also knew that his sister was a strong character, so he never forced her, but if the colt was Li Yong, would her sister still disagree? Songtsen Gampo smiled slightly.

"Of course I know your temperament, but you will definitely not kill the colt I chose for you, and you will happily marry!"

Won't kill him? Will you be happy to get married? How is this possible? Princess Zhenzhu thinks that her brother is just talking nonsense, who can her brother find to be a colt? Even if it's the son of the prime minister, she can't look down on it. Besides, does my brother really dare to choose the son of the prime minister to be her concubine? Aren't you afraid that she will kill the prime minister's son with a knife? Aren't you afraid that the power of the prime minister will continue to swell? Princess Zhenzhu snorted coldly.

"I said I don't want to marry, no matter who you find to be my colt, I will kill him with one sword!"

Princess Zhenzhu said very resolutely, because there is only one person she wants to marry in this world, and that person is not in Tibet at all, and she also knows that she will never be able to marry her, Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.

"What if the horse I chose for you was Li Yong? Are you willing to kill him? ”

Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and lost her voice.

"You, what did you say?"

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.

"I mean, if I choose Li Yong as your concubine, would you be willing?"

At this moment, Princess Zhenzhu's heart was shocked, and she lost her voice.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Li Yong is the county prince of the Tang Dynasty and the concubine of Princess Changle, how could you choose him to be my concubine? ”

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.

"What if Li Yong comes to Tibet? Would you like to marry her? ”

Would you like to marry Li Yong? Absolutely! Princess Zhenzhu almost didn't blurt out, because she dreamed of marrying Li Yong, since she left the Tang Dynasty and returned to Tubo, she often dreamed of Li Yong, sometimes she would dream of the night when Li Yong untied her dress, sometimes she would dream of galloping on the grassland with Li Yong, sometimes she would dream of her and Li Yong marrying, but she knew that this could only be a dream, she never thought that Li Yong would come to Tubo, because Li Yong was famous in the Tang Dynasty and also had a beautiful wife with a beautiful fairy and a beautiful heart, and Tubo was far less prosperous than the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Yong come to Tubo? Princess Zhenzhu shook her head.

"Li Yong can't come to Tibet, so don't daydream."

Songtsen Gampo laughed.

"I, Songtsen Gampo, have never said big things in my life, since I said that I want Li Yong to become your concubine, it is by no means a pipe dream! You don't know yet, the Tang Emperor has decided to send troops to fight again, and among the people who lead the troops is Li Yong! Last time, Saamu defeated the Tang Army and killed Zhang Liang, the commander of the Tang Army, in one fell swoop. ”

With a bang, the door of the inner hall suddenly opened, revealing Princess Zhenzhu's shocked and panicked look, one of the things she was most worried about was that one day her brother would face off with Li Yong on the battlefield, on one side was her brother, and on the other hand was her sweetheart, which made her really embarrassed, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!

"Do you have to fight? Why? Can't you just stop making peace? ”

Princess Zhenzhu said angrily, and Songtsen Gampo laughed.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him, I will capture him alive and return him to Tibet, and I will let him be your concubine!"

Princess Zhenzhu said in a deep voice.

"Li Yong is both civil and military, and the muskets and artillery of the Shenji Battalion are magical, are you so confident that you will be able to defeat Li Yong?"

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.

"Although firearms are very powerful, they can't exert much power in the northwest, as for the art of war, who have I been afraid of? Don't worry, I will definitely capture Li Yongsheng back, sister, I know you like him, don't you want him to be your colt? ”

Of course, she wants to marry Li Yong in her dreams, and it is impossible to say that she is not impressed. But if Li Yong was captured, would Li Yong be happy? Besides, Li Yong and Changle are deeply in love, how can she snatch Changle's horse? Extremely struggling in her heart, Princess Zhenzhu closed her brows and said.

"No, no, I don't want you to capture him alive, I don't want him to be my colt!"
