When the Great Elder returned to Shattered Leaf City, Tu Shi held a very grand welcome fireworks banquet for him, but the Great Elder couldn't be interested when he thought of the situation of this trip, but he couldn't sweep away Tu Shi's excitement. It was not until very late that the banquet was dispersed, and Tushi called the great elder into the big tent to speak.

"Did the Great Elder's trip to Chang'an go smoothly this time?"

"Great Khan, the journey was very smooth, all the allies who had made friends before in Chang'an visited, and I unexpectedly met the envoys of Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and Wei and Goguryeo."

Tu Shi nodded with satisfaction, what did the Tang Emperor say about our westward expedition?

"Alas! —" The Grand Elder sighed.

"What? What did the Tang Emperor say? ”

"The Tang Emperor didn't say it explicitly, but the news we got from our allies was unfavorable to us."

"Specifically."

"The attitude of the Tang monarchs and ministers to ask us to go west is the same, there is no room for bargaining, but whether to supply us with food and let us go west, or force us to go west by force, now divided into two factions, our allies are in support of continuing to supply us with food and then go west, but most of the generals are in favor of forcing us by force, and now the attitude of the Tang Emperor is not clear."

Hearing this, Tu Shi's face also sank: "Hmph! What Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has no attitude, then the emperor is afraid that he also supports the force of force to force us to the west, otherwise he will not cut off our food supply, and send more than 100,000 troops to our front, this is to prepare to attack us by force. ”

"Humph! This emperor deceives people too much. Another general under Tu Shi, Tu Huan, stood up and said: "Great Khan, please allow me to lead my troops and horses to attack Hou Junji and destroy him all the way, so that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who is stubborn and self-serving will know that we are powerful." ”

"That is, the last general is also willing to go with General Tuhuan."

"The last general is also willing to go together!"

"The last will go!"

。。。。。。

Seeing that the generals in the tent asked for orders to fight, Tu Shi was very proud, waved his hand to stop them, and said: "What are you shouting, this battle is inevitable, are you still worried that there will be no battle?" Now sit down. ”

After everyone sat down, Tu Shi asked the Great Elder, "What do Lu Dongzan and the envoys of Wei and Goguryeo say?" ”

"We all saw the wolf ambitions of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, and we all knew that this battle was inevitable, so Prime Minister Lu Dongzan agreed with us that no matter which side was attacked by the Tang army, the other parties would immediately send troops, and I would come back to report to the Great Khan."

"This method is feasible, otherwise the four countries are far apart, and once the war starts, they will only communicate with each other, and they will only delay the fighters."

"If only the Great Khan had agreed."

On the other hand, Lu Dongzan is also reporting to the king of Tubo, saying that it is a report, it is better to say that he is giving an order to the king of Tubo, since the death of the old king of Tubo and the succession of the young son to the throne, the power of Tubo is all in the hands of Lu Dongzan, and the nobles who intervened were all cleaned up by Lu Dongzan with iron and blood, and now Tubo has a voice on Lu Dongzan.

The envoy of the Wei room is actually the brother of the king of the Wei family, and basically his decision can represent the attitude of the Wei family, but the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, is more difficult to handle, and after hearing the envoy come back and report to him Lu Dongzan's opinion that he wants to use the war as a signal to attack Tang together, he is very disapproving.

You must know that Goguryeo, Wei and Tubo, Turkic are different, Tubo and Turkic are close, although the Turks have suffered repeated defeats and lost a lot of elites, but most of the army is still there, and the strength is still not to be underestimated.

But Wei Room is different from himself, Wei Room is a group of uncivilized savages, who don't pay much attention to strategy and discipline in war, and if they can get by, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will run, which is simply a plate of loose sand. Counting on Goguryeo will definitely not be able to restrain him, and the two countries will not deal with each other much, and once the war starts, there is a high probability that they will do their own thing.

In this way, once the Quartet attacks the Tang Dynasty, with such an unreliable pig teammate as Wei Mur, Goguryeo is easy to fall into passivity, and this Wei Room is really unreliable.

Although he had concerns in his heart, Gao Jianwu was not ready to miss this opportunity to attack Tang, but he was not ready to attack Tang immediately at the beginning of the war, but would wait until the three of them were almost exhausted before making a move.

His idea made the first warrior of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen, be the first to stand up against it.

"Great King, the current Tang Dynasty's national strength is growing, this is not a good thing for us, now the four countries meet to attack the Tang Dynasty, it is our only chance to turn over, we must devote the strength of the whole country to win this battle, otherwise the arrogant and barbaric Tang Dynasty people will turn over and destroy us."

"Afraid of what? We have taken advantage of the geographical advantage, why are we afraid, isn't the former Sui perishing on the way to attack us, as long as the Tang army dares to come, let him follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty. ”

"Great King, the Sui Dynasty fell because of the rebellion of the nobles within it, and it was not because of us."

"Humph! You still know a lot, the former Sui perished due to the internal aristocratic rebellion, don't we have this kind of crisis? Don't think that this king doesn't know, what do you want to do when you are secretly colluding with the courtiers? ”

When Yuangai Suwen heard this, he immediately knelt down, cursed and swore an oath: "King, I am trying to persuade a group of ministers to support your war against the Tang Dynasty, and it is not for my own selfish interests. ”

"Humph! The king has his own opinions on how to act, and it is not your turn to point fingers and retreat from the dynasty. After saying that, Gao Jianwu threw up his sleeves and left, and the princess who accompanied Gao Jianwu to the court looked at Yuan Gai Suwen worriedly, how could he not deal with his own man.
