One by one, the fast horses left Chang'an City and headed towards Longxi.

The situation of the war at the border pass has changed again and again, leaving many people scratching their heads, first saying that Songtsen Gampo led at least 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Songzhou.

Later, it was said that General Niu Jinda would not be able to hold Songzhou with his troops.

It was also said that Songtsen Gampo was going to withdraw his troops, and the rear of Tubo was copied.

Three days after Li Shimin ordered Niu Jinda to capture Songtsen Gampo alive, another urgent report was sent to Chang'an City, and General Li Daliang was stationed in the Hexi Corridor to encircle and suppress Songtsen Gampo's headquarters and intercept at least 30,000 soldiers and horses.

I thought this was the majority of the soldiers and horses escorting Songtsen Gampo, but I didn't expect to pounce.

and Hou Junji in Gaochang is ready to fight back.

The three people encircled and suppressed together, and half a month later, Niu Jinda's military report was sent to the DPRK again, and Songzhou was saved, but Songtsen Gampo still ran away.

The battle was fought quickly, and the end came quickly.

The military report is the same day by day, and before it was worried about the situation at the border pass, Datang did not even dispatch Li Jing, Li Ji, Wei Chigong, these generals, from the start of the war to March now, it is only a month's time, and the speed of the reversal of the situation is jaw-dropping.

The most talked-about thing is that Songtsen Gampo was fighting in front, which way of soldiers and horses copied their hometown.

The first battle of Songzhou made the Tubo people very embarrassed, and now is the time to be in a dilemma.

Songtsen Gampo came to attack Songzhou with soldiers and horses in high spirits, who would have expected that the logic in the rear would be copied.

This caused many Tibetan warriors in the hands of Songtsen Gampo to worry about the rear, and they wanted to withdraw one after another, and hurried back to guard their homes.

Once the army's morale was in chaos, Songtsen Gampo's Tubo soldiers and horses were originally pieced together, and they were in a dilemma, so they had to send people to Chang'an again.

Zhang Yang built the wall, and Li Tai's narration was in his ears.

The mountain breeze blows in Lishan, and the season has entered spring, and it is also a lot warmer.

"I have been advised several times not to venture into the territory of Tibet, but after all, I still didn't listen to me." Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed.

"How arrogant Tubo was before, and now it is about to return the color, and the border generals and the emperor are also thinking about public opinion."

Looking at the wall he had just repaired, Zhang Yang said worriedly: "Don't chase after the poor guys, and for the sake of a momentary spirit, you can't let the border soldiers go deep into Tibet."

Seeing that Li Tai was still standing in place, Zhang Yang pointed to the wooden barrel in the distance, and asked His Royal Highness King Wei to bring the wooden barrel over there.

When Li Tai heard this, he wanted to lift the wooden barrel, but he almost flashed his waist under the difficulty, but he didn't expect the sand and mud to be so heavy this time.

"Recently, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has also been very idle, why don't you help me do odd jobs, and I will give fifty yuan a day."

"Fifty bucks?" Li Tai was disdainful and disgusted, "Does this king seem to lack people with such a little money?"

"His Royal Highness King Wei is indeed not short of money, isn't it good to help me build a house to lose weight and earn some pocket money?"

Looking down at his figure again, Li Tai said wistfully: "I just lost some weight last year, and I have gained weight again this year, so I am really helpless."

Lose weight perseveringly, persevere, according to Li Tai's current virtue, it is strange that he can lose weight after three days of fishing and two days of netting.

The two of them were painting the wall together, and Zhang Yang asked curiously, "What is His Royal Highness King Wei doing at home every day now?" Don't keep exercising anymore?"

"Hahaha!" Li Taigan scratched his head with a smile, "I usually go back to the house to look at the accounts and play chess with the people in the house, and I have nothing to do when I am idle, so I send some malt to make candy to eat."

"And send yourself some malt to make candy for yourself?"

"Well, there is often malt prepared at home, and every time the malt comes out, it is cut out to make sugar and eaten, and there is still a lot of sugar left in the house."

Li Tai said with a look on his face.

In terms of eating, it is also up to this little fat man.

As long as he doesn't drink heavily, it's okay to say anything.

Li Yue and Xiao Wu were not far away, the two of them were playing on the fire, and they also roasted a few flower chickens and came back, and the family sat next to the newly cleaned foundation of the new home and ate food.

Nibbling on a chicken leg, Li Tai said entangledly: "Brother-in-law, our soap business is almost unattended now,

The soap before is not selling well."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Normal."

"Alas, the scenery is gone, when will it be beautiful again."

"There will be, don't worry."

"Really?"

"That's nature, it's not too far away."

Li Tai nodded heavily.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Yue was helpless, and Qingque obeyed her husband Junyue's speech.

Chang'an City is full of ups and downs, and the situation at the border is changing every day.

The library is two stories high, and the area of the palace in Lishan is already large, and there is plenty of area to use, and I plan to build another swimming pool on another hill, and build another road to this mountain, well.

Looking at the design of his new home, Zhang Yang felt that life was a little better.

After a day of help, Li Tai was also tired enough.

The grass warbler flies in February days.

A fast horse stopped in front of Chang'an City, and the soldiers who came with the military report shouted, "Tubo urgent!"

The guards at the city gate immediately got out of the way when they saw the other party's token, for fear of any delay.

In the palace, Li Shimin, who had just left the court, listened to Li Xiaogong's arrangements for the clan.

"Your Majesty, the monthly allowance for the clan is getting smaller and smaller every year, and there are quite a lot of words in the Zongzheng Temple."

"I know, it's just that the DPRK is nervous, and I can't give much."

While the brothers were talking, the guards hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty! Tubo urgent! It's just outside the temple."

Li Shimin took his thoughts back and said loudly, "Send it in."

The soldiers who came all the way from the Western Regions entered the hall and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, Tubo is urgent, General Su Dingfang and General Li Daoyan are attacking Luo."

Li Xiaogong hurriedly took the military report and handed it over.

It is said that Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan should be fighting in the Western Regions with Ashina at this moment, how can the Tubo army report come from the Western Regions.

Without thinking too much, Li Shimin opened the military newspaper and looked at the contents on it, and Su Dingfang wrote the cause and effect of the incident very clearly, including how Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong planned it at the beginning.

After reading this, Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Bring Zhang Yang to me."

"Why?" The guards in front of the temple hurried to find someone.

Half a moment later, the guards ran back again, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shangshu has gone home."

"Go home?" Li Shimin paced back and forth, and then remembered that Zhang Yang didn't ask about official business at all these days, and went to Lishan to build a house every day.

Is it more important for him to build a new home than my design?

This is my society!

I thought of the bargain he had with me over Gaochang's affairs, and he had endured him again and again for the sake of the society and the great cause of Qianqiu.

Thirty million, I must pay him back in my lifetime!

I'm not a hero in this life!

"Your Majesty, can the last general go and get someone?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly.

Seeing that the guards were about to walk outside the hall, Li Shimin spoke again, "Slow!"

Standing there and pondering for a moment, the Heavenly Khan whispered, "Don't talk to anyone about this for now, I will go and see him myself."

"Why?"

Zhang Yang has focused all his energy on the construction of his new home these days, except for the early pilgrimage on time every day, the days are simple and fulfilling.

Just after returning home, Zhang Yang took off his official uniform, and Li Yue was wearing coarse cloth clothes and was planning to continue to build a new home.

The little bear has long been squatting at the door of the house and taking it to Lishan every day.

Out of the middle of winter, it is becoming more and more active.

After sitting in front of the house for a long time, it ran into the yard again, walking back and forth as if to be wary of something.

Zhang Yang raised his eyes and saw that Li Shimin was already standing at the door of his house.

Along with Li Shimin came Li Xiaogong.

"This animal is getting bigger." Li Shimin was surprised by the shape of the little bear.

I don't feel anything when I keep it every day, carefully

It looks stronger than last year.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this is a bear raised with home's own food, and it will not bite."

Xiao Wu hurriedly walked over and comforted Xiao Xiong and led him into the house.

Li Shimin walked into the courtyard, "Look at your hurried walk after going down to the court, let people summon you and learn that you have returned home."

Pouring tea for Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, Zhang Yang brought some home-made buns, "Your Majesty should be having breakfast at this hour, I think I haven't eaten it now."

Li Shimin nodded, picked up the still hot meat bun and ate it.

Li Xiaogong was not polite, he held a meat bun in each hand.

first moved a chair and sat down, and then Zhang Yang advised: "If you don't eat breakfast, it's easy to get low blood sugar, if the early dynasty is over, forget it, if the early dynasty doesn't end for a long time, won't Your Majesty be hungry all the time, the minister still recommends that Your Majesty get up half an hour early, eat breakfast and then go to the court."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Although I don't understand what low blood sugar means, I still wrote down your words."

Zhang Yang drank tea and looked at Li Xiaogong again, "The same is true for the King of Hejian County."

Li Xiaogong was still chewing on the bun in his mouth, and he agreed indistinctly.

"This morning, the urgent report from the border pass was sent again, and I saw the urgent report written by Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan together, and then I learned that they were the ones who copied the back road of Tubo."

Zhang Yang grinned, "I thought their news wouldn't be delivered."

Li Xiaogong finally swallowed the bun in his mouth, "This news was sent by Ashinadur from their Western Region, and the military newspaper said that they were going to Luo, and that it was your arrangement."

Seeing Li Shimin's eyes staring at him, he was a little furious in his heart, shaking the fan in his hand, Zhang Yang thought for a while, and was thinking about how to explain.

Li Shimin said, "Only I and Xiaogong knew about this matter, and I didn't tell anyone about it."

Seeing that Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and was silent, Li Shimin lowered his voice, "You said at the beginning that you could give me an answer in the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo."

Zhang Yang nodded.

"It's not bad, it's very risky to let Li Daoyan and Su Dingfang copy some of the logics, but it can make the army of Songtsam cadres break down."

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Li Xiaogong drank tea, and he could still hear the sound of winter as he swallowed water.

"You've been arranging this since last year? If I don't know, won't you just stop talking?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo are both smart people, we must let them know that the center of gravity of the Ministry of Rites has always been in the Western Regions, and Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan's goal is only the Western Regions."

"When everyone believes in this, Songtsen Gampo will naturally believe it, and even if there is a hint in it, it will arouse the vigilance of the Tibetan people."

Li Shimin nodded clearly, "So you didn't even tell me about this?"

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's right."

Li Yue helped refill the tea and said slowly, "Father, in fact, the husband and the emperor are hiding this matter from their daughter, not to mention the father and the king of Hejian County."

"Only a few people knew about this from the beginning?"

"Xu Jingzong, Li Daoyan, Su Dingfang, there are only four of them, including the others from the Ministry of Rites and the Foreign Affairs Yuan."

Seeing that the emperor nodded again, Zhang Yang took another sip of tea.

After being quiet for a long time, Li Shimin stood up, "In order to achieve great things, even the relatives around you can hide it, Zhang Yang."

"The minister is here."

Li Shimin turned around and looked at his son-in-law, "I have seen a lot of people who want to achieve great things in this world, how many heroes died young in the troubled times back then, I didn't think you had much ability before, I felt that Gao Shilian was not wrong back then, you are an unscrupulous person in order to achieve great things."

Zhang Yang smiled, "It's just a fluke, let Your Majesty see and laugh."

Li Xiaogong picked up another bun and nibbled on it, "This is not a fluke, I have been planning since the beginning of last year until now, if the old man wants to say that he is afraid of anyone in this life, he is afraid."

You're a scheming guy who can count people for years at a time."

"King Hejian, are you praising me or are you scolding me?"

Li Xiaogong patted and smiled: "The old man didn't miss these tricks, you are a talent."

Zhang Yang is too young, this kid's insight and foresight do not match his age at all, some people can be trusted, and some people have to be guarded.

Now, Li Shimin feels that he needs to guard against his son-in-law.

There is such a person in the court, as the emperor is also the Khan today, Li Shimin feels that he can't see through him, it's like playing chess, I thought of dozens of steps back, Zhang Yang seems to have mastered the entire chess game, what kind of monster did Zhang Gongjin teach.

Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice: "I remember you for this matter, but this matter was arranged by your Ministry of Rites without my permission, and I will not reward you in my will."

Shaking the pu fan in his hand, Zhang Yang said curiously, "Does Your Majesty mean that not to blame is a reward?"

[In view of the general environment,

Glancing at his son-in-law again, Li Shimin snorted coldly, "In your eyes, am I such a narrow-minded person?"

Zhang Yang nodded slowly.

The kid actually nodded......

Hearing this, the accompanying guards were also worried, if this was in front of others, perhaps His Majesty would have jumped violently and slashed people with a knife.

His Majesty held back, it was abnormal.

The court has a lot to say about this young scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and it is indeed unbelievable that a young scholar who has collided with His Majesty many times can live until now.

Li Shimin clenched his fists with one hand, "You said that you want Lishan to pay taxes separately, and I have promised you, but despite this, you still think I am narrow-minded?"

Zhang Yang looked at the emperor with a smile, "Speaking of taxation, in fact, I still have an idea, the contradiction between the five clans and Your Majesty is not an overnight thing, can the minister think that Your Majesty is holding me with a knife and putting me on someone else's neck."
