"Quickly send someone to send the Covenant Herb to the Ministry of Rites, and after the Ministry of Rites has no objections, it will be submitted to the Center and Your Majesty."

As soon as the envoy of the Tibetan State came to the door of the official residence, he heard the sound of Li Xuan's rapid order from inside the door, but when he heard his footsteps, Li Xuan's voice suddenly stopped.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Zabala's mouth, King Nanchang always likes to use this kind of pediatric means.

At this moment, the record on one side had already spoken; "The envoy of the Tibetan State has arrived."

After a moment of silence, Li Xuan's calm voice finally came from inside the door: "Please!" ”

Zabala bowed slightly to the record with an expressionless face, and then walked into the door, looking at Li Xuan, who was sitting on the top, and bowed slightly: "The foreign minister has seen the king of the county. ”

Li Xuan stood there, looking at Zabala, and couldn't help frowning: "Is the state envoy's body sick, why does it sound a little hoarse, come on, go and ask for ......"

"The prince doesn't have to bother, the minister is in good health!" Zabala returned the salute to Li Xuan.

"In that case, the envoy will take a seat." Li Xuan stretched out his hand, and Zabala walked to the side and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Zabala spoke directly: "Dare to ask the prince, the foreign minister just met the envoy of Silla, but the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Silla has been completed?" ”

Li Xuan smiled, a little calm, a little cheerful, but slowly, this smile gradually became cold: "State envoy, although the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack is effective, but it is also necessary to consider the reality, Tubo and Silla are thousands of miles away, and it will take a year to make a trip, if the Tang Dynasty is tighter, I am afraid that one year may not be enough." ”

Long-distance and close-range attack, the king of the East China Sea offered the first technique to attack the Tang Dynasty for Tubo.

"What the prince is saying, the ministers don't understand." Zabala sat there, bowing his head slightly, looking calm.

It's so thick-skinned.

Li Xuan complained in his heart, then sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Since the envoy doesn't understand, this king will tell the envoy more." ”

Zabala looked up, looking like he was listening to the teachings.

Li Xuan said with a faint expression: "Now that winter has passed and the weather is warm, the armies of Liaodong Province and Andong Province have begun to pack up their war preparations and be wary of Silla's possible northward movement at any time this year...... Although the border between Silla and the Tang Dynasty is long, I think that the only thing that is qualified to make Silla move troops is a few cities and a few roads, and if the king is in Liaodong, he will definitely make a big fuss about those cities. Envoy, do you know what is the biggest difference between the Tang Dynasty and Silla compared to previous years? ”

Zabala respectfully and solemnly bowed his hand to Li Xuan: "Please also ask the prince to solve his doubts?" ”

"It's the terrain." Li Xuan said indifferently: "In the past, it was the Tang Dynasty that went deep into the border of Silla and launched an attack on Silla, under the long-range attack, the food and grass were insufficient, the soldiers were tired, and it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty to exert its full strength, but now the Datang is guarding his own door, waiting for the ......."

Li Xuan's voice remained in the air, but it still made Zabala can't help but think of it.

After a long time, Zabala's expression was solemn, and he slowly spoke: "I heard that the prince once proposed a strategy of encroachment. ”

"The envoy is also well-informed." Li Xuan's voice slowed down, and his face was equally solemn.

Both people can feel the great threat that each brings to the other.

Once you encounter a shrewd opponent, seize this flaw and wait for work, and then you will inevitably succeed in a battle.

For example, this was the case in the Battle of Dafeichuan that year.

Although the Tang Dynasty is powerful, it is so radical that it does not pose much threat to Tibet.

However, if it is in accordance with Li Xuan's method of steady and gradual encroachment, the short-term threat may not be great, but in the long run, Tibet will inevitably be in danger of destroying the country.

In addition, if it can be matched with a good general, this method is even more powerful.

For example, the king of Nanchang.

What Zabala was thinking, Li Xuan could see through it at a glance, what he really cared about was the encroachment strategy that Zabala said.

When Li Xuan said the strategy of encroachment, only the emperor knew.

Later, although Li Xuan presented a twist and turn, all of those who could be heard were important ministers in the court.

The Tibetans have other eyeliner in the court.

At the beginning, the king of the East China Sea had his own connections in the court, but even if he had already learned about it, how could he easily tell it.

Now it is the Tang Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty, and the use of public opinion to oppress the court has not happened.

If this eyeliner is not pulled out, I am afraid that there will be leaks in the future.

Especially since this person is likely to be a demon sect behind him, they will take the initiative to contact the Tubo people.

Keep an eye on the Zabala and Tibetan missions to find out this man.

In this way, Li Xuan did not have to worry about the risk of leakage of the secret book obtained from the King of the East China Sea.

Immediately, Li Xuan said softly: "Now, the alliance between Datang and Silla has been concluded, and I think there should be no more war between Datang and Silla......"

"The prince is so sure?" Zabala's bearded face was raised, and the sarcasm in his eyes was palpable.

"Definitely." Li Xuan scolded Zabala directly, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Zabala keenly caught this hint of ridicule, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

The covenant between Datang and Silla is definitely not as simple as he thought, and this matter must be clarified and then their covenant must be broken.

Li Xuan smiled coldly in his heart, what the Tubo people were thinking, he was completely guessing, and he could guess eight or nine without leaving ten.

This is really what he wants to see, the Tubo people have to move, and only when they move, can Li Xuan lift all their details.

Especially the military department.

The mobilization of the Tang Dynasty's military strength is the focus of the Tubo people's attention.

Especially in plateau operations, galloping thousands of miles, and the slightest mistake is a thousand miles, and preparing to get the information on the deployment of Datang's troops is the most important thing.

……

"The envoy should have seen the head of the King of the East China Sea, right?" Li Xuan suddenly mentioned the king of the East China Sea coldly, and the Tubo State made Zabala's heart vigilant.

Zabala sat there, nodded at Li Xuan, and said, "I've seen it, the foreign ministers haven't congratulated the king on eradicating rebellion and making great efforts. ”

Li Xuan's eyes looked at Zabala calmly, and his eyes gradually became faint.

Zabala's face was calm, and he did not shy away from looking at Li Xuan at all.

After a long time, Li Xuan finally nodded slowly and said, "It seems that the envoy really thinks that the King of the East China Sea is dead. ”

"Why, doesn't the king think so?" Zabala showed a hint of sarcasm on his face, but as soon as he spoke, he saw that Li Xuan's face on the other side was already full of strangeness.

Suddenly, Zabala knew that he had said the wrong thing.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, then nodded and said: "What the envoy said is right, the King of the East China Sea is indeed dead, of course, there will inevitably be some people who have doubts, but so what."

It's as if the King of the East China Sea is still alive, but does he dare to come out now?

This time, he has exposed too much, Chang'an, Luoyang, and the three hundred prefectures of Datang have launched a comprehensive strangulation of Wushengdao. ”

Zabala's face couldn't help twitching slightly, Li Xuan chuckled, and continued: "In the past few days, up and down the court, countless imperial histories have gone to various states to review the remnants of the hidden prince back then. Those who have good governance will be promoted, those who are well governed, those who are well governed, those who are retained, and those who are not properly governed, will be dismissed. Therefore, the longer the time drags on, the faster the King of the East China Sea will die. ”

Li Xuan looked at Zabala and said softly: "When that time comes, will he still be useful to Tubo?" ”

Zabala's palm under the table clenched suddenly, but then slowly released again.

"The prince is right, he is indeed dead." Zabala bowed his head slightly, but at the moment of bowing his head, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Li Xuan sighed softly and said with emotion: "The envoy, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, both countries have vast territories, but unfortunately, this world only allows one strong country to exist...... Aside from this war, envoy, do you think between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, which country will survive in the end? ”

"Tibet, of course." Zabala said with a cold expression: "My Datang doesn't have such a thing as the King of the East China Sea. ”

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "This king hopes that in the end, the whole family can be spared the evil life of being punished in the end. ”

Zabala raised his head and stared at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's words went straight into his heart.

Li Xuan's expression was faint, but his eyes were extremely sharp: "I hope that when the Qinling is on the front line, his backyard will not catch fire." ”

Zabala's face changed suddenly, and his eyes looking at Li Xuan were already full of murderous aura.

The Tibetan king Mangsong Mangzan was seriously ill.

The news in Tubo was very hidden, but it was pierced by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan drank tea so calmly, and didn't talk to Zabalado, as if he was thinking about something.

After waiting for a long time, a figure appeared silently at the door and nodded at Li Xuan.

The Silla envoy has already left the inn.

Only then did Li Xuan stand up, look at Zabala and say, "State Envoy, that's all for today, and I will have time to sit on the ground and talk about it in the future." ”

"Then the foreign minister will wait for the king of Nanchang to summon again." Zabala stood up, her face gloomy.

"Please!" Li Xuan waved his hand very indifferently, and Zabala snorted coldly and waved away.

……

Looking at the back of Zabala's rapid departure, Li Xuan frowned and looked to the side, and Cheng Ma Wei, the host and guest agency, walked out from behind.

said to Li Xuan: "Lord Qiqi, everything has been recorded today. ”

"Tidy up, tidy up, the king of tomorrow will enter the palace." Li Xuan's face was solemn.

Ma Wei, who was standing on the side, looked at Li Xuan with some puzzlement: "Lord Wang, but is there something wrong?" ”

Li Xuan sighed lightly, turned to look out of the door, and said lightly: "If this king is not bad, the Tubo State has now gone to the Qingtang front line to watch the army, and the war between the two countries is already on the verge of breaking out." ”

"Ahh Ma Wei on the side was directly stunned, what is going on, he was next to him after a conversation just now, why did he not hear a trace of such important information, but it was the king of Nanchang, who guessed such an extremely important thing out of thin air.

If it is said that the Qinling Tomb of the Tubo State has now arrived at the front line, then there is a possibility that the war on the front line may break out at any time.

Although Datang had been prepared for a long time, the sudden start of war was not something that everyone was happy to see.

In particular, it is only late February, and Chang'an is still cold, and Tubo is even more so.

Although the war at this time is not good for the Tang Dynasty, but it is even more unfavorable for Tubo, will the Tubo people really do this?

But the art of war is cloudy, and it is unexpected.

This is how Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, destroyed the Eastern Turks.

Ma Wei didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "The lower officials will take people to sort it out overnight, and they will definitely not delay the prince's affairs tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly.
