bastard seizes tang

Chapter 805
At night, let's go to the Potala Palace.

In the Zanpu bedroom of the Potala Palace, Qi Zong Nongzan had been busy for a day and was tired for a long time before he settled down and was about to go to bed, but suddenly a maidservant in the palace reported that the Prime Minister Lu Dong Please see you.

Lu Dongzan is the most important minister in Tubo, the right-hand man of Qizong Nongzan, Lu Dongzan suddenly asked for an audience at night must be a big event, abandoning Zong to praise diligence, even though he was about to go to bed, he still got up to see Lu Dongzan .

"The Great Prime Minister came to see me in a hurry at night, but what's the matter?" Lu Dongzan entered the hall, and Qi Zong Nongzan asked first.

Lu Dongzan hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The Bohai garrison at the intersection with Tuyuhun in the east has received news that Shi Pei Xingjian, the governor of Liangzhou of the Tang Army, has suddenly increased his troops in Xingsuchuan, and has set up camp in Xingsuchuan. It seems that he intends to stay there for a long time."

It was already night, Qi Zong Nong Zan was a little sleepy at first, but when Lu Dong Zan's words came out, Qi Zong Nong Zan suddenly became excited, his heart trembled, and the sleepiness was gone.

"How many people?" Qizong Nongzan asked hastily.

Lu Dongzan replied: "According to the reports from the scouts, there are Han Chinese and Tuyuhun people in the Xingsuchuan garrison, and the number should not be less than [-]."

"4 people, what does Tang Jun mean?" Qi Zong Nongzan frowned slightly when he heard the number.

If the Tang army added troops to Xingsuchuan to start a war, 4 people were obviously not enough, but if it was just an ordinary border patrol, the movement of 4 people was too big, which really made Qi Zong Nongzan a little puzzled.

Lu Dong praised: "Zan Pu, as far as I know, Pei Xingjian is the Tang Emperor Li Ke's confidant. He was by Li Ke's side as early as when Li Ke was still the King of Chu, and he is extremely trustworthy."

Qi Zong Nongzan knew what Lu Dongzan meant, and Qi Zong Nongzan asked, "You mean that Pei Xingjian's stationing in Xingsuchuan was ordered by Li Ke?"

Lu Dong praised: "The Tang army stationed in Tuyuhun, such a big matter, Liangzhou Governor's Mansion can't handle it. Pei Xingjian is Li Ke's confidant and favorite general. He suddenly went to Xingsuchuan under Li Ke's order, probably from Chang'an City. Something happened."

Pei Xingjian's army entered Tuyuhun and arrived at the fortress at the border between Tuyuhun and Tubo. This move is tantamount to provoking Tubo, and has a lot to do with it. Liangzhou alone cannot make such a decision. This can only be Li Ke's idea .

Ai Zong praised the words, and said vigilantly: "The Tang army suddenly increased its troops in Tuyuhun. I'm afraid that something went wrong with the marriage, and the entire mission would be in danger."

As Qizong Nongzan said, he couldn't help worrying, because there were not only envoys in the Tubo mission, but also his eldest son. If Li Ke decided to go to war with Tubo, he would definitely detain the Tubo mission, and Gongri Gongzan would also I can't come back.

Qizong Nongzan couldn't help regretting that he sent Gongri Gongzan to Chang'an, because he originally wanted to come, and this marriage proposal would be sure, but who would have thought that the answer from the Tang army's increase in troops would come at the end.

Lu Dongzan looked at Qizong Nongzan's reaction, but he didn't know what Qizong Nongzan was worried about, so he hurriedly said to Qizong Nongzan: "Don't worry about Zanpu, according to the news from the Bohai garrison, the Tang army is stationed After Xingsuchuan, they began to form an army on the spot, it seems that they just stick to it, and have no intention of going west, I am afraid that they have no intention of going to war first, and the mission should be fine."

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense."

Qi Zong Nongzan listened to Lu Dongzan's words, thought about it, and it was indeed the same truth. As the saying goes, if the Tang army really intends to attack Tubo, it should send troops immediately, instead of stationing at Xingsuchuan first. It gave the Tubo army a chance to take precautions.

Lu Dong praised: "If you look at Pei Xingjian's actions, the Tang army's stationing in Xingsuchuan is just a precaution, but the Tang army's move is probably stimulated by the marriage. This time the Tubo mission is safe and sound. The marriage is over."

Qi Zong praised and asked: "Li Ke dares to refuse the marriage at this time. Could it be that our news is wrong, and Tang Ting has no intention of going to war with Goguryeo?"

Lu Dong praised: "The news should not be wrong. With Li Ke's temperament, if Tang Ting has no intention of going east, then Pei Xingjian's army will never just go to Xingsuchuan. Pei Xingjian's march is so conservative this time, he must have served Li Kezhi. Order to test Zamp's meaning."

Xingsuchuan is located in the east and north of Bohai Sea, and Xingsuchuan is still a hundred miles away from Tubo territory. This time, the Tang army stationed in Xingsuchuan is indeed quite conservative.

However, Tang Jun's external behavior has always been tough. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to launch troops against Goguryeo, Tang Jun's actions would not be so cautious.

With Lu Dongzan's words, after learning that Tang Jun was acting cautiously, Qi Zong Nong Zan had some other thoughts. How determined are you to dare to face the enemy?"

As soon as the words of Qi Zong's praise came out, Lu Dongzan guessed the intention of Qi Zong's praise. Qi Zong's praise was to force him to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he wanted to try again.

Lu Dongzan asked: "Zanpu suspects that the Tang army is bluffing, but actually dare not start a war with Tubo?"

Qi Zong praised: "That's right, that's exactly the case. If we also send troops to the north at this time to confront the Tang army in Xingsuchuan, now that the Tang army's eastward campaign is imminent, and the army will be transferred eastward, the troops in Guanlong and Guanzhong will be empty. Are you saying that Li Ke will bow his head for the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition and send the princess to marry him?"

Thinking about Qizong Nongzan, the Tang Army's Eastern Expedition is imminent, and presumably money and soldiers have already begun to be transferred to Liaodong, and the actual situation is exactly the same. If Tubo takes this opportunity to launch an attack, let Li Ke see the pressure on the border and the situation. Tubo's determination to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke will probably give up a woman for the sake of the overall situation.

But Lu Dongzan did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "This is absolutely impossible. Although Guanlong's military strength may not be sufficient now, Li Ke is not someone who can be easily forced. If Zanpu really sends troops at this time Knock at the side, the only ones waiting are Li Ke's imperial conquest, and the most elite Beiya pro-army in the world."

Hearing the words of Qizong's praise, he couldn't help but gasp. Tang Ting's Beiya Tianzi pro-army, Li Yuan's Yuan Cong Junjun, Li Shimin's Xuanjia Jingqi, and Li Ke's Modao Battalion. It is no exaggeration to say that the unparalleled elite left by the three generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty are the strongest army in the world. If possible, Qi Zong Nongzan would never be an enemy of them.

Qi Zong praised: "The battle in Liaodong is imminent, does Li Ke really dare to act like this?"

Ludong praised: "Now there are many troubles in Tubo, and both Xiangxiong and Houzang are still uneasy. Zanpu dares to launch troops at this time, and Li Ke will certainly dare."

Lu Dongzan's words caught his ears, and Qi Zong Nongzan fell silent for a while. He was more or less familiar with Li Ke as an opponent, and he knew that what Qi Zong Nongzan said was the truth.

Qi Zong Nongzan sighed softly, and complained unwillingly: "If there is no danger in the country, this should be an excellent opportunity to annex Tuyuhun and marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but such a good opportunity can only be missed. .”

Lu Dong praised: "The situation is like this, there is no other way, Zanpu only needs to look at the long-term, and he can figure it out."

Abandoned Zong praised the young man for assuming the throne, and it is natural that he is outstanding in being able to come to where he is today. For a moment, he looked unwilling, but he quickly adjusted and put away the look of resentment on his face , Turning to praise Lu Dong: "Although most of the Tang army has no intention of crossing the border, the frontier army should be ordered to strictly defend and prepare for a battle with the Tang army. I believe this battle is not far away."
