Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 176
The capture of Dajian Furnace was Li Ke's first battle on the plateau. His initial strategy was to win quickly.

But after receiving the news that the Tubo people were already ready, Li Ke quickly adjusted his tactics.

He deliberately slowed down, swaggered into the battlefield, pretending to underestimate the enemy, and lured the enemy out of the city to fight.

This method of tactics is not advanced, but as long as the enemy is tricked, it will be much easier to attack the city.

Originally, this tactic was executed very successfully, and the general who defended the city was enticed by Li Ke to leave the city, but at this time another voice came out, entrusting him to stop.

At this moment, seeing that his scheme had been seen through, Li Ke's heart sank.

Could it be that there are still experts sitting in this arrow furnace?

The coquettish shout just now was obviously from a woman. Are there any women in the Tubo army?
At this time, a woman in red appeared suddenly on the quaint and gloomy city tower.

The woman was tall and graceful, with exquisite and colorful makeup. She was wearing a gorgeous big red robe, and she attracted all of Li Ke's attention when she first appeared.

Against the background of the gloomy city tower, this woman is so abrupt, just like there is a colorful figure in the black and white photo.

The woman's head was covered with bright silver ornaments, and her face was covered with snow-white powder makeup, which lined her red lips like blood. Coupled with the bright red robe on her body, the whole person seemed to come out of a picture scroll, so vivid. It is a human product.

Li Ke does not prefer heavy makeup. In his subconscious mind, overly heavy makeup will appear too deliberate, and it is far less intimate and natural than light makeup.

But at this moment, he couldn't help exclaiming, this woman with gorgeous make-up is really so beautiful that people can't help but hold their breath and look at her more.

Especially in this gloomy and solemn atmosphere, her blood-like coquettish temperament is really eye-catching and breathtaking.

Li Ke couldn't help being stunned, and he didn't recover until the woman spoke leisurely.

"Li Ke, the king of Shu, single-handedly killed the Turk Jieli Khan, defeated the three heroes of the north, and conquered the north with overwhelming force. He is truly a hero in the world!"

This woman's voice is so graceful, her tone is so melodious, Jiao Didi seems to be able to squeeze out water - no!Is to squeeze out the oil...

But this soft and delicate voice is not greasy at all, it makes people listen to it, but they hate that they don't have two ears, and they also hate that this woman has only one mouth, so she can't say a few more words.

Li Ke's mouth became dry when he heard this, and he turned around to see that all the soldiers of the Shu army were looking up, everyone had an obsessed expression, and what's more, they had already swallowed their saliva.

After regaining his composure, Li Ke slammed Fang Tian's painted halberd on the ground, waking up the bewitched Shu army.

He shouted upward and asked in as loud and deep a voice as possible: "Who are you?"

This shout and question, like Huang Zhong Dalu, immediately drove away the alluring charm of that woman from everyone's hearts.

The beautiful woman smiled softly, raised her head and said, "Your Highness may have never seen the little girl, but the little girl has witnessed His Highness's bravery with her own eyes..."

Li Ke was surprised, he couldn't remember that he had any relationship with this woman who appeared inexplicably.

The woman went on to say: "A few days ago in the Nivala Palace, His Highness was outnumbered by one enemy. He is really heroic and extraordinary, which is admirable..."

Nibhara... Li Ke was startled, and immediately thought of a name.

"Meiji!"

Back then in Niboluo, Meiji disappeared mysteriously, and Li Ke deliberately searched for this person.At that time, Li Ke judged that this Meiji might be an important figure under Songtsan Gampo, and he wanted to capture this Meiji to investigate the distribution of the Tubo army.

As a result, Meiji disappeared without a trace in Niboluo, so Li Ke put the matter aside and returned to Shu.

At this time, the woman on the tower mentioned Nipoluo again, and Li Ke immediately remembered the name.

"Hmph, that's right! Legend has it that the king of Shu is not only super powerful in force, but also has a strategy that is rare in the world. Sure enough... he can guess my identity just by using the three characters "Ni Po Luo!"

Meiji smiled lightly.

Naturally, she couldn't guess that Li Ke had paid special attention to Mei Ji's identity a long time ago, so she only remembered it at this time.

Li Ke looked up at her again, this woman really lived up to her reputation as a charming concubine, she was extremely alluring, and she really had the potential to be charming.

He pointed Fang Tian's painted halberd upward: "So, when Songtsen Gampo gave you to that old man to play with, it was just to appease Nibala and prevent him from forming alliances with other countries?"

He purposely said this in a vulgar and ugly way, and it was naturally for the previous purpose - to provoke the opponent to open the city to fight.

But Mei Ji just smiled faintly, shook her head and said: "You don't have to provoke me, my Tubo army will not leave the city - but His Highness is really good at calculating, and finally took down that Niboluo..."

She looked at Li Ke again: "At the time when the second prince launched a coup, I felt something was wrong. Later, when I saw you people from Tang appearing, I knew that Tang was involved in this matter... When I fled back to Tubo and saw your portrait, Naturally, it became clear that you, Li Ke, arranged the coup d'état in Nibala. The purpose was to create chaos for me in Tubo, so that I could take advantage of the chaos and plot against my Tubo land!"

Li Ke chuckled: "It's easy to say...You Tubo is close to my Shu land, and the threat to my Shu land is too great. This king has to guard against it!"

He now understands why the Tubo people suddenly dispatched troops to Dajianluo for defense. It turns out that he appeared in Niboluo and was discovered by this Meiji.

He couldn't help smiling wryly. He went to Niboluo to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan, but in the end he accidentally exposed his intention to attack the plateau and lost the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

"Have to guard against?"

Mei Ji's face changed into a cold one at this time: "Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have always been at peace with each other. Now you lead a large number of troops to invade the border and disturb my Tubo towns. Is this considered 'defense'?"

The more she spoke, the colder her tone became, gradually turning into an accusation.

Li Ke was below, seeing the woman's angry face in his eyes, thinking that this woman is really charming, and such cold words, asking her to say them, are actually full of charm.

But at this time when the two countries are at war, Li Ke will naturally not be sympathetic. He sneered: "Why Songtsan Gampo wants to make friends with us, Datang, I think you and I know it well, so there is no need to be hypocritical. Once he wins the southwestern countries , the next step, I am afraid it will be my land of Shu!"

Facing internal and external troubles, Tubo was able to mobilize 20 troops. Coming here to fight against the arrow furnace shows that it has long been ambitious and prepared to conquer the world.Li Ke thought that if he didn't take action, the southwestern countries wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

At that time, Tubo will become his confidant, and the people of Shu will encounter great disaster.

If the Tubo people came down from the plateau, their rough and brutal fighting style would definitely disturb the lives of the people in the places they passed.

In fact, Tubo in history was indeed the biggest sufferer of the Tang Dynasty.Taking advantage of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tubo people invaded Chang'an and plundered the Tang Dynasty, causing countless people in the Tang Dynasty to suffer.

Rather than just sitting back and watching the other party get up, it's better to take the initiative to kill this hidden danger in the cradle.
