Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Wang Ziyun said: "That's exactly the case. Back then, my father Khan told me not to attack the city."

"But they didn't hold back. They were so jealous that they attacked the city by force."

"We lost all our clansmen in the end, and we are now very passive."

He Yun said it, as if the Clinging Clan didn't live up to their expectations.

Chu Bu asked, "When will they attack Mohe City?"

Xi Yun said: "It is possible to attack Mohe City at any time, so I am so anxious to find you to meet up in Mohe City."

Chu Bu planned to wait for a while. After all, winter has just passed, and there is not much grass in spring, and the cattle and sheep are not fat.

Especially the war horses did not eat enough grass and had no strength.

Chu Bu was a little embarrassed, and said: "I can go to Mohe City to meet up soon, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to persuade the other two chiefs."

He Yun knew that the last time he went to the secret department and the Yiwu department, the two leaders were not salty or tasteless.

They said that if the Tang army penetrated deep into the desert, they would send troops, but before that, they had no plans to send troops.

The tribe in Monan has a grudge against He Lu.

Over the years, He Lu has annexed many small tribes with the help of the three tribes.

The cavalry of the Zhishedi family died at the foot of Gaochang City, and He Lu turned around and took the remaining women and children as his own.

Regarding this matter, the Chu Mukun and Pobi clans were quite critical.

Wang Ziyou said, "I know they are wary of us, but now is not the time to talk about it."

"If the Tang army takes down Mohe City, they will come here, and we will all be wiped out by then."

"The desert belongs to us, not to the Tang people."

Chubu believed these words, but Chumi and Yiwu did not.

"Prince, come with me, let's talk face to face."

Chu Bu said.

The prince was overjoyed.

Last time he went to the Chuyue Department and the Yiwu Department, but he didn't see any good faces.

This time there is a cloth to take with him, maybe he can convince the two tribal leaders.

"I can only speak for His Royal Highness. If they don't listen, I have nothing to do."

Chu Bu was very honest.

After all, he is the leader of the Lunar Department and cannot be the leader of other tribes.

"Thank you very much."

Prince Yun got up, and Chu Bu came out of the tent.

Chu Bu said, "Let's go, let's go to the secret department."

The entourage of the Chuyue Department got on their horses and followed Xi Yun and the leader to the Chumi Department.

After crossing a desert, I went to the secret department.

They were also in an oasis, and their leader was a young man in his thirteens.

Seeing Prince Xi Yun and Chubu approaching, the leader came up to greet him with people.

"His Royal Highness, Chief Chubu, why do you have time to come to me?"

The leader narrowed his eyes and smiled.

This person looks very shrewd, not as honest as Chu Bu.

This person is Harp, the leader of the Ministry of Secrets.

Wang Ziyun said: "We have urgent matters to discuss with the leader."

The leader Hapu laughed and said, "Could it be that the Tang army attacked Mohe City?"

Not long after he left, Xi Yun came back again, probably because of this matter.

Xi Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Tang Jun is going to Mohe City soon."

The leader Hapu looked at the prince Youyun suspiciously, obviously he didn't trust Youyun.

Although he agreed to send troops last time, it was only a verbal agreement.

He was afraid that if he didn't agree, He Lu would attack the secret department.

"The cavalry of your three tribes is brave enough to resist the Tang army."

"I believe that Khan can bury all Tang troops in the sand of Mohe City."

Harp said seriously.

Wang Ziyou Yun was sullen in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

Now he can't tear himself apart from the secret department, he needs the cavalry from the secret department.

Seeing that the two sides were not congenial, Chu Bu got off his horse and said, "Chief Hapu, all the clansmen in Zhishedi died in the battle in Gaochang City."

"If we don't unite, the Tang army is afraid that they will really penetrate into the depths of the desert, and we will lose this place by then."

Harp didn't believe what He Yun said, but he believed what Chu Bu said.

"All the cavalry in Zhishedi died in battle?"

Harp asked in surprise.

Chu Bu glanced at He Yun, nodded and said, "They all died in battle, under the city of Gaochang."

"That's why His Royal Highness is in a hurry and wants us to join forces to deal with Tang Jun."

"We are all tribes in the desert, just like a pack of wolves, we can only be strong if we unite."

"If we were lone wolves, any hunter could hunt us down."

The metaphor of Chubu is very apt.

Wang Ziyun agreed and said: "That's right, if we don't unite now, when we can't defend Mohe City, your secret department will lose the oasis and water plants."

This made Harp's heart tense.

He had heard about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty through the mouths of businessmen.

It is said that a single city in Datang has a population of over one million.

"But."

Harp still has concerns.

Chu Bu said: "I have already decided to send troops to Mohe City, and I will follow the prince later."

Wang Ziyun was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be so forthright.

Just now, the Ministry of the Moon did not say when to send troops.

Hap thought for a while and said, "I have to discuss with my people before I can decide when to send troops."

The prince was overjoyed.

Although Harp didn't say when to start, it means that the decision to send troops is just a matter of time.

"Chief Hapu, Datang's army is in Gaochang City, only two days away from our Mohe City."

"We are waiting for the warriors of your tribe to join the battle in Mohe City."

Wang Ziyun said.

Hap nodded, but did not agree to Yun Yun.

Chu Bu felt that it was useless to talk any further, so he got on his horse and said, "Let's talk to the leader of the Yiwu Department again, you should think about it carefully."

After speaking, Chu Bu followed Xi Yun to the Yiwu Department.

While Wang Ziyou and Chubu were lobbying everywhere, the spies sent by Li Shimin had already returned in Gaochang City.

Li Shimin was puffing and puffing in the room, playing chess with Li Zhi.

Both father and son were very relaxed. Although Mohe City hadn't been breached yet, they felt that with Su Yu in charge anyway, there was no rush.

"Father's chess skills have improved a lot."

Li Zhi praised.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Go must be well thought out, and only when you are in the mood can you play well."

Li Zhi lost another son, but he was still at a disadvantage.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You lost."

With that said, he made a bet.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "My son lost."

Li Shimin knocked on the pipe and poured out the ash.

"I don't know how that kid Su Yu is playing chess. I will play a game with him sometime."

Li Shimin felt a little guilty when he said this.

Because Su Yu is good at everything, and he is also a good player at chess.

Li Zhi thought about it and said, "I haven't seen my brother-in-law play chess before."

Just as he was talking, Li Jing came in from the door.

"Your Majesty, the spies sent out have news."

Li Jing reported.

Li Shimin got up and said, "Let's go, let's discuss the matter in the hall."
