The smile on Xu Shiji's face gradually disappeared, and he said lightly.

"When the Tubo invaded, weren't you Tuyuhun also full of confidence that you could let the Tubo people return? Why can't you hold on to a wave and collapse the army? ”

Murong Shun opened his mouth when he heard it, it's not that he doesn't know what to say, as the saying goes, you don't slap people in the face, and you don't expose them when you scold people, but Xu Shiji is simply catching his face and slapping it, and the beating is called a sound, in fact, hearing this, Murong Shun also generally understands that Xu Shiji They don't want to give up the garrison in Tuyuhun, or rather, this should be decided by the Tang Emperor, although this land was not clear to Li Jing at that time, but Li Yong was very clear, so Xu Shiji They could only act according to their will, Now the Tang Dynasty is a sword, and Tuguhun is a fish, so what can he do? Now there are nearly 100,000 troops sharpening their knives on the territory of Tuyuhun, not to mention the Tuyuhun who is now declining, even if it was Tuyuhun in its heyday, it was not enough for these 100,000 troops to kill! Therefore, to give Murong Shun ten guts, he didn't dare to insist on Xu Shiji and all of them withdrawing, after all, just relying on the tiger to drive away the jackal, he went to pull out the tiger's beard with his backhand, that was purely tired, Murong Shun squeezed out a smile on his face, and hurriedly said,

"Guogong is right, we Tuyuhun has experienced such a big disaster, it is the time when all kinds of waste are rejuvenated, if Lu Dongzan leads the troops, it is indeed a little difficult to resist, if we can work the Tang garrison, then we can live with more confidence."

Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong all nodded with satisfaction when they heard this, Murong Shun, this kid is still very good, he didn't even make a move, he understood it, this is very good, seeing Xu Shiji and they all nodded with satisfaction, Murong Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and wiped a cold sweat by the way, just now he was indeed frightened by the solemn atmosphere, Murong Shun asked tentatively.

"I don't know when Guogong is going to pull out the camp and triumph, so I can prepare a rich gift for Guogong."

Xu Shiji groaned.

"Pull out the camp and triumph, don't worry, don't worry."

Murong Shun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, didn't he say that he was ready to pull out the camp in the past few days? Why aren't you in a hurry? Now that the capital of Tibet has been torn apart due to civil strife, Xu Shiji and they have no reason to stay! So, shouldn't the pace of leaving be accelerated? Although they didn't discuss it in advance, Cheng Yanjin and Xu Shiji thought of it together, and sighed.

"The mutton here is so delicious that people are reluctant to leave!"

Murong Shun was about to cry when he heard this, didn't he say that he was going to leave? Why don't you leave again? Because lamb is too delicious? Won't we be able to raise sheep in the future? Please, go away! Or take all the sheep with you." Murong Shun hurriedly said.

"It's rare that Guogong likes our Tuyuhun mutton so much, Guogong has great kindness to our Tuyuhun, Guogong can rest assured, every month I send someone to send ten sheep to Guogong, even if Guogong is in Chang'an, he can eat our Tuyuhun mutton."

Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened suddenly and asked.

"What? Do you think the old man is asking you for a bribe? The old man has always been honest and honest as an official, how could he do such a thing as asking for bribes? If this spreads, will the old man's official reputation still exist? The old man is here to eat your mutton for a few more days, aren't you happy? ”

Murong Shun was in a cold sweat when he heard this, why did he become a bribe? Why is it so incorruptible? Murong Shun waved his hand again and again.

"No, no, I'm not going to bribe, I am, I am, Guogong wants to stay and eat mutton, and we are very welcome from Tuguhun."

When Murong Shun walked out, he was still confused, how could there be such a big gap with his imagination? He didn't understand why Xu Shiji didn't want to withdraw his troops, it stands to reason that the consumption of grain and grass for nearly 100,000 troops is not a small amount, although they can bear part of it, but Datang is also really spending, the problem is, Xu Shiji They really have no reason not to withdraw their troops! Tubo is already divided into a threat, and they Tuyuhun dare not have any dissent towards Datang, Datang only needs to leave a soldier and horse to control them Tuyuhun, why should Xu Shiji continue to stay with an army of nearly 100,000? After Murong Shun left, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong all had surprised smiles on their faces.

"I didn't expect that! Songtsen Gampo died at the hands of Lu Dongzan, and Tibet was torn apart and plunged into a civil war. ”

Xu Shiji smiled, and Cheng Yanjin nodded.

"Yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Before, I only wanted to focus on creating Tibet and curbing the rise of Tibet, but I didn't think about directly attacking and destroying Tibet, because Tibet's strength is not weak, and there is a plateau as a moat, but now, the opportunity has come! ”

Wei Chigong nodded and said: "Yes, it's simply providence, our army has not suffered much losses, nor has it experienced a vicious battle, it has already had a good rest, and Tubo happens to be divided again, it is simply that God wants us to capture Tubo!" ”

This expedition went too smoothly, of course, it was a happy event, but everyone inevitably felt that it was not enjoyable, and now that they had the opportunity to attack and destroy Tibet, they naturally did not want to miss it, and, with their keen military vision, this was indeed a great opportunity, Xu Shiji said with a smile.

"However, after all, we did not have the task of destroying Tubo on this expedition, so we still have to ask the saint to do it, let people hurry up to Chang'an to send a letter, and at the same time send someone to Tubo to investigate and verify."

Cheng Yanjin nodded.

"There shouldn't be any fakes, but for the sake of safety, it's good to have people go to Tubo to investigate and verify."

Wei Chigong patted his thigh and said regretfully.

"It's a pity that we're not in Chang'an! The saint probably didn't want to miss this opportunity to destroy Tibet, for fear that the courtiers would get in the way! ”

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yanjin couldn't help frowning slightly when they heard this, they felt that His Majesty must have the courage to attack Tubo, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Tubo, but the ministers in the court really might not be able to support it, thinking of this, Cheng Yanjin suddenly slapped his thigh and said in a deep voice.

"Oops, forget about Li Yong, this kid! Li Yong is still in Xinghai City, and I don't know if this kid is in a hurry to return to Chang'an, if he doesn't agree to attack Tubo, then this matter will be suspended. ”

Xu Shiji and Wei Chigong couldn't help but nod when they heard this, Li Yong's influence is too great, if Li Yong's dead wife wants to go back to Chang'an, then this matter is really hanging, Wei Chigong smiled and said: "Then persuade Li Yong to go back to Chang'an first, just let him go back and persuade the saint." ”

Xu Shiji was the calmest and waved his hand.

"Let's send the news to Xinghai City first, tell Li Yong about this, and ask him to send someone back to Chang'an, as for whether to fight Tubo or not, we will wait for the will."

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are homesick, including Li Yong, after all, it has been out for so long, it is difficult to miss home, and when there is a war, I can't take care of homesickness, but now I am idle all day long, and it is strange to miss home, Li Yong sat on the city wall lazily basking in the sun, and looked into the distance at the same time, but there was no sign of the army marching in the distance, Xue Wanche also looked at the city wall with his neck stretched out, he was excited when there was a battle, and now he wilted without a battle, and Princess Danyang at home was also pregnant. Now that he has made a contribution, of course he wants to go back as soon as possible.

"Why haven't they returned to the teacher yet? Fu Qi City has been defeated a long time ago, can it be that he has been staying in Tuyuhun to eat sand? ”

Xue Wanche was very puzzled, and Li Yong was also a little puzzled.

"It stands to reason that it's time to go back to the teacher, shouldn't it be that I'm dazzled by Tuyuhun's little girls?"

Xue Wanche and the others couldn't help grinning when they heard this, but they also knew that although Tuyuhun suffered heavy losses this time, I don't know how many little ladies have lost men, but even if Tuyuhun's little ladies dare, they wouldn't dare! Li Yuntian held up the telescope and said in surprise.

"Huh? It looks like cavalry is coming! ”

Xue Wanche and the others hurriedly took out their binoculars and looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw a cavalry squad galloping towards Xinghai City, Li Yong got up and stretched, and said with a smile.

"It seems that the British Duke is finally going back to the division, and we can also clean up."

Xue Wanche and the others immediately smiled, after looking forward to it for so long, they could finally triumph, and a group of cavalry entered the city and were led straight to the city wall.

"Meet the Lord of Rongfu! I was ordered by the commander to deliver an urgent letter. ”

Li Yong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it, the battle was over, what else could he have urgently? Could it be that Songtsen Gampo was unwilling after returning to Tibet, and planned to gather a large army to attack Tuyuhun? Isn't that too rigid? It stands to reason that even if Songtsen Gampo wants to take revenge after suffering such a big loss, he shouldn't be so impatient, this is not wanting revenge, this is deliberately giving away people's heads, right? Not only Li Yong thought so, but Xue Wanche also felt that their eyes lit up and said in surprise.

"Songtsen Gampo doesn't want to fight again with the whole army, right? Let him run away once, and this time he can't let him run again. ”

Li Yong took the letter and opened it to see, this letter was Xu Shiji's handwriting, Li Yong looked at it at a glance, with a look of surprise on his face, and a hint of joy, Xue Wanche The curiosity in their hearts was like a cat's paw scratching.

"Jungong, what's wrong?" Xue Wanche couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Yong folded the letter, let out a long breath, and sighed.

"Songtsen Gampo is dead!"

Xue Wanche and Li Yuntian were stunned at first, and then howled.

"Huh? Songtsen Gampo actually died? In whose hands did he die? ”

"Oh, Jungong, we shouldn't stay in Xinghai City, we should go together to recover Tuyuhun King City!"

They all thought that Xu Shiji's army had found traces of Songtsen Gampo's escape near the Tuyuhun King City and pursued Songtsen Gampo, Li Yong explained.

"It was Lu Dongzan who designed to ambush and kill Songtsen Gampo in the Egula Pass, but he didn't kill it cleanly, and Songtsen Gampo's personal guards fled back to Tubo and brought the truth back, and now Tubo is in a civil war and is torn apart."

Xue Wanche's face has changed several times, it is really a story with ups and downs and very twists and turns, Lu Dongzan's successful ambush of Songtsan Gampo can be described as bold, but it is very stupid to leave a living mouth, it really makes people don't know what to say, and finally heard that Tubo was torn apart and fell into a civil war, Xue Wanche They couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw a look of surprise on each other's faces, because they all thought of a little, since Songtsen Gampo died, Tubo was torn apart and fell into a civil war, then isn't this a great opportunity? A great opportunity to capture Tibet? Tibet, located on the plateau, is rampant when it gains power, and the best way is of course to completely conquer and occupy Tibet.

"Princess Zhenzhu and the princess fled to Shannan with the little prince, Lu Dongzan has gathered a large army to attack, wanting to take back the little prince, this is to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! The sheep have been set out equally, and they have all called kings. It's wonderful! ”

Li Yong smiled, Xue Wanche rubbed his hands, and said excitedly.

"Princess, what an opportunity! Anyway, if you come to Tuyuhun, it's better to destroy Tubo by the way. ”

Li Yuntian nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, it's a shame if such a good opportunity is missed, anyway, it's a matter of the way."

A group of generals responded one after another, although they felt very homesick just now, but that was because they were too idle, and now there is obviously a great merit waiting in front, who wants to go home? I can't run home, so I can go home later, wouldn't it be better to copy Tubo and then go home by the way? The main reason is that this expedition is like coming to Tuyuhun to play, and I always feel a little uneasy when I go back like this, and this credit is a little weak, so if you fight Tubo, it should be more difficult, right? I think it will make everyone move their muscles, right? Li Yong said with a smile.

"This is indeed an excellent opportunity, but whether or not we can attack Tibet still has to wait for the will of the saint."

In fact, Li Yong also felt that this was a good opportunity, originally he felt that the Tang Dynasty should defeat Tubo, but first, the current Tubo is very strong, and secondly, the altitude of the plateau is too high, which makes him have some scruples, but now, Tubo has fallen into disintegration, and Datang's soldiers and horses have also undergone high-altitude training in Tuyuhun, such a good opportunity, Li Shimin, who has always been ambitious, should not miss it, right? Thinking like this, Li Yong found that there was still a letter, so he opened it casually, and saw that this was Cheng Yanjin's handwriting, Li Yong glanced at it, his face became a little dark, Cheng Yanjin actually persuaded him to take the Shenji Battalion back to Chang'an in the letter, and by the way, he went to persuade His Majesty and the courtiers in the court, Xue Wanche saw that Li Yong's face changed, and couldn't help but ask nervously.

"Jungong, what's wrong?"

Li Yong didn't have a good airway.

"Phew! Cheng Lao Mo was so bad that he actually sent a letter to persuade me to return to Chang'an, and asked me to return to Chang'an to persuade the saint and the court's ministers to agree to attack Tibet. ”

Xue Wanche and the others immediately became anxious when they heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Sage, how can we attack Tubo without our Shenji Battalion? Although there was civil strife in Tibet, no one knows what the situation in Tibet is. ”

Li Yuntian and the others also responded, they felt in their hearts that Lu Guogong and they were shameless, everyone was a comrade on the expedition, how could they leave their Shenji Battalion?
