Li Jing raised his head, looked at the inner advisor and said, "What's the matter?"

"Qi Qi sage, General Xu Da sent a military report."

The confessor bowed and held a copy of the military newspaper above his head.

Ximen Yang immediately stepped forward, took the military report in the hand of the prisoner, turned around and returned to Li Jing, and handed the general report to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the military newspaper, opened it, took out the military newspaper inside to check it, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

Several ministers didn't know what was going on, they looked at each other, and they wanted to know what Xu Dadi wrote in the military newspaper, which made the face of the Son of Heaven change greatly.

"Saint, I don't know what happened to make the saint so angry?"

The official department of Shangshu crossed his hand and saluted.

"Xu Da sent a military report saying that my Tang army was attacked by the Tubo army in Tianzhu, but fortunately, it was prepared for a long time, so it did not suffer a big loss."

Li Jing took Xu Da's military newspaper and said.

After hearing this, several ministers frowned slightly, the Tubo army was really hateful, and they actually dared to attack the army of the Tang Dynasty.

"The king of Tubo was treacherous, and he clearly signed a non-aggression pact with my Tang Dynasty, but he connived at his subordinates and attacked my Tang army."

"If it weren't for the courage and good fighting of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, who would have already seen through the tricks of the Tubo people, wouldn't they have suffered heavy losses?"

"I have decided to raise an army to fight against Tibet, but I want to ask the king of Tibet in person, why is he so untrustworthy?"

Li Jing was very angry about the fact that the Tubo army dared to attack the Tang army.

Originally, I thought that Tibet was in a weak position, and that it should be a man with its tail between its legs, abide by the covenant signed by the two sides, and not invade each other.

Who knows, Datang has abided by the covenant, but Tubo has broken the covenant, if you don't take this opportunity to teach Tubo a good lesson, who will abide by the covenant signed with Datang in the future.

"The saint also thinks twice, the minister thinks that just because of this matter, he will raise an army to fight, but it is just a waste of money and labor, and the ghost place of Tubo can't adapt to it at all."

"If you forcibly send troops, I am afraid that there will be a recurrence of the battle of Dafeichuan, the minister implores the saint to think twice, it is better to send someone to question the king of Tubo, why is he treacherous!"

The official secretary bowed and saluted, persuading Li Jing not to move troops casually, the plateau environment is not something that they can adapt to as men from the Central Plains.

The crusade sounds very majestic, but in fact, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is good to win, but if you lose, you will not only lose your money, but also lose face.

What's more, many people did not approve of sending troops to crusade against the country of Pi, let alone invade Tianzhu.

The main reason is that Tianzhu is too far away from them, and there are many countries in between, even if Tianzhu is defeated, Datang will not be able to control it.

Once the enemy army attacked Tianzhu, the army left there could only fight alone, and Datang could not rescue at all.

An enclave like Tianzhu, which is far away from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, cannot bring huge benefits to the Tang Dynasty, so it is impossible to raise troops to fight it down.

"Hmph, if I don't raise an army to fight, wouldn't Tubo be even more arrogant, wouldn't I even less take my Tang Dynasty in my eyes?"

"I just want people all over the world to see, if you dare to tear up the covenant, you will have to pay the price, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

Li Jing said loudly, just taking this opportunity to try how the army stationed in Tuyuhun was, how effective it was, and after so many years of training, whether it could easily cope with the plateau environment.

Li Jing was eager to immediately send an edict to Heizhi Changzhi, appointing him as the chief of the Luo Suo Road marching army and leading the army to crusade against Tibet.

The minister was speechless for a while, looked at Li Jing, gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: At the beginning, if you hadn't insisted on going your own way and had to send troops to destroy the country of Pi, how could such a thing happen?

Although it is far away, it is better to save it!

Tianzhu is so far away from Datang, what good can it do to send troops to take Tianzhu?

Sending troops to garrison will only increase the financial expenditure of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a huge expenditure to transport various materials to the Tang army stationed in the Tianzhu territory every year.

Tubo borders Tianzhu, people fight Tianzhu but a matter of going out, once Tubo dispatches a large army to cut off the back road of our army, the lone army left in Tianzhu will be completely finished.

"Sage, the minister risked death to admonish, Tubo and my Tang Dynasty finally had the peace they have today, why be angry about a little thing."

"At the beginning, if the sage hadn't insisted on sending troops to take it, attack the country of Pi, and send troops to capture Tianzhu, how could there be any friction with Tubo."

"Tianzhu is far away from my Tang Dynasty, if you occupy Tianzhu and are not directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it will cost countless resources every year to maintain, so it is better to give it up ......"

Hubu Shangshu said a lot, but he felt that Tianzhu's place was useless at all, and grabbing it would only increase the burden on the imperial court.

It's better to give it up directly, Tubo loves to give it to it, and it's not a big deal.

That is because he didn't know the importance of Tianzhu at all, and occupying Tianzhu would allow the locals to reclaim the tuntian fields and grow a large number of crops.

As the granary of Datang, it can continuously provide sufficient food for Datang, so that Datang does not have to worry about food.

Moreover, Tianzhu borders on Tubo, and once Tianzhu is controlled, it is equivalent to blocking the way out of Tubo, and it can be attacked and defended.

Tubo can only be trapped on the plateau, and when the time comes, if Tubo wants to have a way out, it can only send troops to the south and attack Nanzhao.

When the time comes, let Nanzhao and Tubo fight with each other, and when they are both defeated, they will take action to clean them up together.

"Tianzhu must not be given up, not only can I not give it up, I will also send troops to garrison again, as for food, you don't have to worry, let the Tang army stationed in Tianzhu reclaim the tuntian and be self-sufficient."

"On the Tibetan side, I must not let them go, since you are trying your best to persuade me, let me send an envoy to Tibet, and ask the king of Tubo why he is treacherous."

"I will follow you, I decided to send my inner chamberlain Ximenyang to envoy to Tibet, but in order to prevent the Tibetan dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, I will also issue an edict, ordering the black tooth Changzhi to be ready for battle at any time."

Li Jing made concessions, but Tianzhu must not give up that place.

"Sage, by all means, where is there a reason for eunuchs to go to other countries since ancient times?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up and opposed Li Jing's sending Ximen Yang as an envoy to Tibet.

The eunuch sent an envoy to Tibet, which simply lost the face of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is not without a man, how can a eunuch go to the envoy.

"Since ancient times, there has been no one from now on, Ximen Yang, I have ordered you to be the envoy, and the envoy to Tibet will be held with the festival."

Li Jing directly appointed Ximenyang as an envoy to Tibet.

"The old slave obeys!"

Ximenyang didn't want to go to the plateau either, he was afraid that he would not come back if he went, but the emperor's order was difficult, so he could only accept this fact.

The minister sighed, feeling that Li Jing was too childish in this matter.

Some people died, but not completely......
