Li Ji also smiled after reading the news, all this was in his plan.

Distant and close attacks, first using money and territory to separate the relationship between the Jin and Uluokhun and Goguryeo, and Yuangai Suwen must be able to see the crisis in this.

He would definitely leave Pyongyang City for the northern border, except for that Iron King Eight Shells, it would be much easier to kill him.

"Whoa!"

Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, also saluted Li Ji and turned around and left directly.

After a long journey, Xue Rengui finally returned to Chang'an with Duman.

Looking at the sinner who betrayed the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Li Zhi was also immediately angry, and the law secretary next to him also understood the emperor's thoughts when he saw this, and he also asked for an order to push out Duman and the captives and cut them all.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word."

Seeing this, Xue Rengui also knelt directly in front of Li Zhi.

"Say."

Glancing at Xue Rengui, Li Zhi also frowned, not knowing what the other party wanted to say.

"Your Majesty, Duman rebelled and deserved to be punished, but His Majesty agreed with him to pardon his capital crimes.

The minister is willing to use the credit of this time to exchange Duman's life. ”

Xue Rengui looked at Li Zhi and directly said his thoughts.

Since he had promised Duman, he had to find a way to save the other party's life no matter what.

Even if Li Zhi didn't agree, then he did his best and lived up to his promise.

"This"

Hearing Xue Rengui say this, Li Zhi was also depressed.

Isn't this a clear problem for yourself, after all, this Duman also betrayed the Tang Dynasty, but now you have to exchange your own credit for pacifying and suppressing the other party's life.

I really don't know if you're fake smart or really confused.

"Your Majesty, Du Man is the leader of the bandits, and he should kill the thieves in the Western Regions and let them know the consequences of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty."

Ren Yaxiang glanced at Li Zhi, and also stood up and saluted the other party.

"Your Majesty, General Xue Li is dedicated to the country, and I hope you will be considerate, don't let him be ashamed of the country."

Cheng Yanjin also stood up and glared at Ren Yaxiang.

You old boy knows all day long that it's uncomfortable to find others, a little Duman, kill or not kill can still affect the Western Regions.

He is now a loner, why can't he spare his life and maintain the reputation of the Tang general.

"Your Majesty, Duman must die, otherwise it will be difficult to secure the heart of the Western Regions!"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of General Xue Li's reputation, why not let go of a dying person!"

"Your Majesty!"

One by one, the generals and officials also stood up and saluted Li Zhi one after another.

"Well, preach my will to pardon the capital sins of Duman and his servants.

At the same time, Xue Li's trip contributed to the Tang Dynasty, rewarded a thousand taels of gold, a hundred horses, and led the right Weiwei general! ”

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and directly chose to pardon Du Man's capital crime, and at the same time began to vigorously support Xue Rengui.

After all, although the veterans of the Tang Dynasty are powerful, there are not many generals in the Mesozoic Generation, among which Xue Rengui is the best among them.

Now that Su Dingfang is the Duke of the Kingdom, he can already use them to replace the position of the previous Duke of the Kingdom.

But after a hundred years of those old princes, Su Dingfang will become a difficult point again.

Now that he is thriving in Tibet, it is still necessary for him to cultivate a new protector general.

"Your Majesty!"

Ren Yaxiang was stupid, and saluted directly at Li Zhi, not knowing what the other party meant.

"What, Prime Minister, do you have an opinion?"

Li Zhi glared at Ren Yaxiang, he really looked at this old man a little annoyed, and he felt uncomfortable with himself all day long.

If he really dared to say anything more, he would have to take the opportunity to withdraw the other party.

"No opinion!"

Seeing the coldness in Li Zhi's eyes, Ren Yaxiang didn't dare to say anything, and directly saluted to show submission.

"That's it, put on a feast and wash the dust for General Xue Li!"

"Whoa!"

After Xue Rengui offered the prisoner, Li Zhi also transferred him to the Goguryeo front line as soon as possible, under the command of Li Ji.

The battlefield in Tubo was still like that, and Su Dingfang was in no hurry to clean up the city of Tubo while advancing towards Nyingchi.

After all, Datang is strong, and grain is constantly transported to Tibet.

And with Su Dingfang's early preparations, their logistics line can now be said to be very stable.

After all, to keep the soldiers of Datang on the front line now is to save their own lives.

Lu Dongzan now has nearly 500,000 troops in his hands, although there are only more than 300,000 elites, but it is no problem for these to fight a good battle and scare people.

"Prime minister, what do you say this Tang Army is doing, how much time has it been, why hasn't it been killed yet?"

Zayangcuo looked at Lu Dongzan, and the whole person was also a little puzzled.

"Su Dingfang is not an ordinary general, otherwise it would be impossible for the Turks to be exterminated by the other party, and he would not be able to become the commander of the more than 300,000 troops.

He must be able to see through my plan, and the reason why he is so slow now must be because he is afraid that there will be a problem with his supply line.

But he didn't know that the slower he came, the more pressure he had on his supplies. ”

Lu Dongzan smiled, for Su Dingfang to come so slowly, he had already calculated clearly.

He is also very clear about how the other party wants to break his own conspiracy, and at this time the other party can only be led by his own nose.

When you arrive in Nyingchi, how many soldiers and horses will the other party have?

Maybe 200,000 people at most.

With so many people, maybe they don't need to become princesses, and they can directly wipe out all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

"Great Minister!"

Zayangcuo also smiled, since everything was in Lu Dongzan's calculations, then he had nothing to worry about.

"Remember that the queen must serve well, understand!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Gai Suwen finally came to the northern border and met with the leaders of the two tribes, the Yak and the Uluohun.

But what Yuan Gai Suwen and the two clan leaders didn't expect was that Yuan Gai Suwen was assassinated.

The moment he stepped into the tent of the two chiefs, he was shot through his chest by a crossbow arrow from nowhere.

Although he didn't die on the spot, he looked like he had less air in and more air out, so he couldn't last much time.

The two leaders were also a little overwhelmed when they saw the situation in front of them.

Although they had already decided to wait until the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, they would lead their troops to the south and plunder the land and people directly.

But now Yuangai Suwen is going to die with himself, and if this is transmitted back to Goguryeo, they will have to fight with themselves no matter what.

"Immediately upload the doctor."

Ahma, the leader of the Ya tribe, directly hugged Yuangai Suwen and shouted at the soldiers around him.

Immediately, a white-bearded old man came to the front with a medicine box on his back, and directly began to help diagnose and treat.

"You have to save him, he can't die, you know?"

Ahma stared at the doctor, his eyes full of anxiety.

"You need to use a hundred years of wild ginseng to hang your life, if this breath is dispersed, people will die immediately!"

The doctor looked at Yuan Gai Suwen's appearance, and his beard was about to fly.

Now he couldn't think of anything other than wild ginseng that could save this guy's life.

"Go get a hundred-year-old wild ginseng right away!"

Hearing that he wanted a hundred years of wild ginseng, Ah Hema was a little distressed, but he had to do it.

After all, if this Yuan Gai Suwen dies here, it may be over.

Under the power of wild ginseng, Yuangai Suwen temporarily saved his life, looked at Ah Hema in front of him, and directly grabbed his arm.

"If Goguryeo is destroyed, the Yan and Wuluohun will also be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!"

After saying this, Yuangai Suwen fainted again.

"Help!"

Ahma is stupid, you fainted when you said a word, and you were under a lot of pressure.

"The man is fine, he just fainted, but his condition is not optimistic, and he must hurry up and send him back to Goguryeo.

The long is seven days, the short is one day, even if there is a wild ginseng hanging life, it can't be hanged. ”

The doctor glanced at Yuan Gai Suwen, and also reassured Ah Hema that people can't die for the time being, but they will die later.

"What should I do?"

The Uluokhun patriarch Absli also frowned, not knowing what to do.

"Let's withdraw our troops for the time being, and then send Yuangai Suwen back quickly, otherwise we may have to take the blame.

Datang, Datang, your plan to kill two birds with one stone is really powerful, amazing! ”

Although Ahma does not know who shot which arrow, he is most likely to be the murderer based on the principle that whoever gains is most likely to be the murderer.

It must be Datang that has the most advantage.

"If that's what you say, we really can't retreat now."

Absli shook his head, his eyes full of desolation.

"Why? Now that Yuangae Suwen has become like this, we can only avoid intensifying the conflict with Goguryeo by seizing the time to withdraw our troops. ”

Ah and Ma were also stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant.

"Do you think this Yuan Gai Suwen can still return to Goguryeo? If he dies on the road, guess what his sons will do?

They must be the first to take revenge, and if we withdraw now, they will drive straight into our hinterland.

When the time comes, we will all have to start a war with each other, and instead of passively responding to the enemy, it is better to take the initiative and take the lead in fighting.

The Tang Dynasty is not ready for war now, didn't they also say before, no matter how much territory we occupy in Goguryeo, they will admit it?

Then we will force the war with war, forcing the Tang Dynasty to have to go to war with Goguryeo.

After they start the war, we will stop the war and just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Absli looked at Yuangai Suwen, who had fainted in Ahma's arms, and sighed.

This time they were really calculated, but they were also to blame, they were too greedy.

If you weren't greedy, you wouldn't be like this.

"Then what should this Yuan Gai Suwen do?"

Since Absley said so, what should this man do?

"He still has some role now, use him to deceive the gate of Huaiyuan Mansion, and after taking here, Goguryeo will have no danger to defend, and we can be regarded as having the capital to go south."

Absli glanced at the sky, and now he could only make mistakes, and just follow the other party's route.

"Hey, then that's it, come here, kill all the people brought by Yuangai Suwen, and then go to Huaiyuan Mansion!"

Ahma also ordered the people around him.

Yuangai Suwen's guards were only about a thousand people, and they were all wiped out before they didn't even make a splash in the face of the soldiers and horses of the two divisions.

Then these people also changed into the costumes of the Goguryeo people, and took the dying Yuangai Suwen to the outside of Huaiyuan Mansion.

"Who?"

Looking at the soldiers and horses under the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were also on alert in an instant.

"Da Mo is sick and sick, open the city gate immediately!"

A commander shouted at the generals on the city wall.

"Where is the big Mo detachment?"

Hearing the other party's words, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to open the city gate easily.
