Chapter 265: Coming Home

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Grand Sun."

When Li Xiang returned to the East Palace, Qian Ping took the eunuchs and palace maids of all sizes in the East Palace, stood at the door of the East Palace honestly, and gave Li Xiang a serious salute.

"Okay, okay, it's all people in their own family, what are you doing with these things, everyone will increase their monthly money for a month, and they will do their own things well in the future, this king has a future, which means that you have a future."

Hearing that Li Xiang rewarded a month's monthly money, the people below were even happier, His Royal Highness Taisun never beat and scolded his subordinates in ordinary times, even if they did something wrong, His Royal Highness Taisun also protected them, with such a young master, no one is happy in their hearts!

"Father, mother."

Li Xiang was about to kneel down and salute, but was directly stopped by Li Chengqian, these days of hard work can be regarded as fruitful, Li Chengqian has always been worried that he will be abolished, even if Li Xiang has made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian has always felt that he is floating in the air, and today the news of the imperial court came down, Li Chengqian felt that his legs fell to the ground.

The sons have already been crowned the crown prince, how can there be such a thing as abolishing the crown prince? The civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty should also think about it, what you did to the East Palace in the past, Li Chengqian remembered it in his heart, but without Li Xiang's nod, he would never be able to retaliate against these people.

"How hard it has been along the way!"

Li Xiang and his mother Liu did not have much contact, but at this moment, seeing Liu shed tears, Li Xiang was also a little touched in his heart, after all, this body is the fusion of two souls, although the soul of modern society occupies the main position, but the original memories of Liu are also there.

"What do you see you crying about? Isn't it a good thing that my son is back? Let's go eat first. ”

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Liu also felt that it was not a good thing to shed tears on such an occasion, so she quickly wiped away her tears and followed her husband to the house.

Li Xiang can see it very clearly, even if he is a son and has become the emperor's grandson, Li Chengqian lives on his own, but this mother still can't afford to stand up, and she respects Li Chengqian all her life, maybe this is a woman in this era.

"Why are you so bold, I haven't heard of Tuyuhun agreeing to this at the time, you can do it, run thousands of miles to the past, if there is anything wrong on the road, how can I live with your mother?"

After retiring all the people, Li Chengqian said a few words in his heart, Li Xiang didn't go home at all, when Li Chengqian asked Qian Ping to inquire about the news, Li Xiang had already arrived at Shili Pavilion, and the two of them had been worried for the past few days, but fortunately Li Xiang was still looking for someone to send news to his home, otherwise he didn't know what he would be worried about.

"At that time, the situation was forced, if you didn't say that, Tuyuhun would definitely not be able to keep it, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tubo people were ready to go, and the only thing they were afraid of was my Datang."

Thinking of the situation at that time, Li Xiang also felt embarrassed, but if he was asked to choose again, he would probably say that.

"The Tibetans can easily assemble an army of 150,000, and this country is not weak."

Li Chengqian doesn't know much about Tubo, although there are many Tang Dynasty merchants who have been to Tibet, but according to what they say, Tubo is a loose society, completely different from my Datang, all the people are very strong in combat, and there is no other information, after all, the Tubo people do not allow the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to wander around their land.

"Father's words are wrong, I estimate that the 150,000 army is also a bluff, it would be good to have 100,000 people, and it is not easy for them to gather these 100,000 people, it should be the strength of the whole country."

According to Li Xiang's understanding of the history of this period, the total population of Tibet should be about one million, and even if the climate of Tibet was very good at this time, it would not be possible to exceed this number, after all, there will only be two million people in the 21st century.

Of course, there are several subject states in the south of the Tibetan state, as well as several ethnic minorities such as the Qiang people in the northwest region, and these dependent populations also have hundreds of thousands, but now that they have just conquered, they may not be willing to give their lives to the Tibetan state.

"Then if that's the case, it's more likely that they will spit out Gu Hun and bluff?"

Li Chengqian said with some surprise, he never doubted that what Li Xiang said was false, because most of the things Li Xiang had done had been realized, and what he said had also brought him great changes, so what Li Xiang said about the situation in the Tubo Kingdom, that was what the situation was.

"In fact, they can fight on their own, they don't need to come to us to unite, Tuyuhun has weakened now, but Tubo still sent their prime minister, hoping to form an alliance with us, which shows a truth, no matter what the outcome of the war is, they are also afraid that my Tang Dynasty will march on them."

If Li Xiang's words were said by other generals, it is estimated that these people would laugh, because in several conflicts, the Tang army was not the opponent of the Tubo army, how could people be afraid of us?

The reason why there is such a theory is also because we run to the plateau, and if it is on flat ground, we may not be afraid of them.

"No wonder when this Lu Dongzan came, many people in the court were a little scared, but you kid was never afraid, you know their details."

From the perspective of the entire Tang Empire, Li Chengqian is also a little worried about the Tubo State, after all, we know that there is too little news about them, and we only know that their leader Songtsen Gampo is not a simple person, and often attacks the surrounding tribes.

"The Tubo State has crossed a huge mountain in its southern region, and has also conquered several small local countries, as far as I know, they have adopted iron-blooded rule in the local area, which has caused dissatisfaction among many local people, and they have also risen up to resist in the past two years, so they still have to leave a part of the army in the south, most of the land of the Tubo State is not much use, compared with the comprehensive national strength of my Tang Dynasty, they are far behind, but the military strength still needs to be paid attention to, and a short-term conflict may be able to win, But as long as the battle line is extended, the Tubo State will be defeated. ”

From the perspective of a young man in the 21st century, the war is fought with comprehensive national strength, although Tubo is now aggressive, but if the two sides really clash, it will only take six months, Tubo's supply line may be broken, but Datang can continue to obtain a large number of supplies from Jiangnan......
