Immediately, Li Su wrote a large article with splashes of ink.

After finishing writing, the depression in my heart eased a little.

He also understood Emperor Qian's thoughts, which was nothing more than paying a royal woman in exchange for a short-term peace between the two countries.

As long as Dagan recuperated and blocked the Tatar soldiers, Tubo did not dare to really fight Dagan.

When two powerful countries go to war, the cheapest one can only be the small country on the side.

This time, Tubo was only so presumptuous when they saw that the Dagan Tatars were fighting each other and it was profitable.

But understanding is understanding, Li Su didn't intend to compromise.

Emperor Qian was worried that a war would be fought on both sides, and the country would be in danger.

He Li Su is not afraid, with Lingnan's combat strength at this time, he is fully capable of stretching Tubo's capabilities.

When Li Su's letter was passed to the capital.

The whole capital city was boiling.

This is the first vassal prince who speaks out for this matter after the Tubo mission came.

Especially when Li Su's letter to Emperor Qian was deliberately leaked, the entire capital was swept away for many days.

No marriage, no indemnity, no cede of land, no tribute, military generals guard the gate of the country, and the prince dies in the country.

In just 22 words, there is no meaning, only categorical toughness.

It is said that after Emperor Qian watched, Long Yan was very happy, framed the letter and put it in his study.

He even mentioned this matter many times at the court meeting, wanting to set an example for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

However, diplomacy is no small matter. How can a matter such as a war between the two countries be settled by a letter.

Both Emperor Qian and the ministers in the court knew in their hearts that this matter would eventually be compromised.

It's just that this compromise has to be done for show, you can't immediately marry the princess as soon as someone comes to propose marriage.

Let the people of the world know this, and they can't laugh at Emperor Qian to death.

So these two days the quarrel in the court was particularly intense.

The main combat faction headed by Emperor Qian strongly refused to make a marriage.

However, the peace faction in the DPRK is so powerful that even the right prime minister, who has been ill for many years, has spoken out in favor of peace.

The situation in the court is like fire and water, and the people are also excited.

People in the capital even sat in front of the palace to protest the marriage.

However, the peace faction is too powerful, and the court is about to agree to the request for marriage.

On the other hand, Li Su ordered Changkong to lead Nightingale to keep an eye on the movement of the Tubo mission and the tone of the court in Beijing at all times.

I prepared for the worst in Lingnan.

Li Lingxiu, who was planned to be married to Tubo, was weeping secretly at home at this time.

Her family is only a distant relative of the royal family, and even the title of title is the smallest one.

In the past, she was not favored at home, but this time because of her marriage, she was named Princess Wenshan, and she enjoyed the respect of her family.

It's just that she doesn't want to be a princess.

How could she bear the bitter cold of Tubo.

I'm afraid that in such an environment, he would die in depression after a few years at all.

In the past few days, it has been widely rumored in the capital that King An and Li Su are leading the battle and disagree with the marriage.

This gave Li Lingxiu a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of the naughty and willful Xiaoliu back then, today he has become a big tree that can protect her.

Back then Li Su was hated by people in the capital, but Li Lingxiu had discerning eyes, and could see that there was actually no serious evil behind Li Su's playfulness.

It's just that his temper is a little willful, and he has never hurt the world and oppressed the good.

Therefore, she never disliked Li Su, and she never thought that her love back then would become a life-saving straw today.

Li Lingxiu was trapped in the room these days and had nowhere to go, so she could only look forward to Li Su's arrival day and night.

Lingnan.

In order to prevent the imperial court from really agreeing to the marriage, Li Su began to purge soldiers and horses after sending out the letter.

All three thousand personal guards were recalled, and all the workshops in the territory were fully fired to prepare for the upcoming war.

Forage, weapons, mules and horses Lingnan has accumulated many years of technology and strength, and it is the first time that it is fully operational as a war machine.

Just as Li Su was actively preparing for the battle, the quarrel in the capital finally came to an end.

Under the tough persecution of the peace faction, the wise and mighty Emperor Dagan had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Whether it's a marriage or a marriage, it's a shameful thing after all.

For this reason, Emperor Qian did not go to court early for three days to fight.

The people in the capital all said that Emperor Qian was strong and strong, but the court and Chinese were incompetent in martial arts.

The Tubo missions living in Beijing during this period were not idle either.

From time to time, I have to go to the palace to face the saint, and I will tell the achievements of the [-] Tubo army in attacking the city and land.

The aggressiveness in the words can be felt by individuals.

This is also the reason why the imperial court finally decided to promote the marriage as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether Tubo really wanted to fight or pretended to be a threat, he couldn't afford to gamble and didn't dare to gamble.

Especially when looking at the autumn harvest in the north, the Tatars will definitely go south to hunt grass valleys at this time.

All the energy of Dagan must be put in the north, and Tubo in the west really has no time to take care of it.

It is estimated that Tubo also saw the predicament of Dagan at this time, which is why Garzan and his party came.

With the increasing persecution of Garzan, the court could not bear the pressure after all.

Princess Wenshan's marriage to Tubo is a foregone conclusion.

Marriage matters can no longer be changed.

Even if Emperor Qian dropped his favorite brush washer, it still couldn't change the ending.

For a time, the entire capital city was in a state of grief and indignation.

Many generals who didn't know the truth wished they could go to Xichuguan and die in battle immediately to get their full names.

Those knight-errants in the capital seemed to have been slapped in the face by a Tubo warrior, cursing and drunk in the wine shop all day long.

The marriage could not be changed, and the news spread back to Lingnan, which did not cause much shock.

Li Su had already made preparations for this aspect, perhaps he had already guessed the pissing nature of Daqian Chaotang.

With a calm expression, he summoned his confidants immediately to discuss the next matters in secret.

To use troops against Tubo, it is not enough for him to bring his personal guards to kill him.

All preparations must be made in advance, and it is time for Lingnan's fangs to show.

He is not a vassal king to be raised, but a fierce tiger that can rampage and hurt people at any time.

Chapter 99

If you want to make an expedition to Tubo, Li Su's own troops will definitely not be able to do it.

Even if each of the 10 guards is wearing heavy armor, they can't hold a sea of ​​[-] people.

Not to mention logistics and other things, 3000 heavy armors must be equipped with at least [-] baggage teams to march.

However, Lingnan is now in a period of great development, and the population is already lacking. Li Su is not going to recruit civilian husbands.

He has better options.

In these years of governing Lingnan, Li Su has made many friends of his own.

On weekdays, he did not take care of these friends less, now it is time for them to contribute.

Through Nightingale, Li Su sent orders to borrow troops from Laos, Qiang, Burma, Ba, and Pulan.

Said to need help.

After receiving Li Su's letter, the various countries organized their armies as quickly as possible and marched towards the Lingnan border.

And Hou Zhengchang had already received the news, and provided a place for the armies of various countries to rest.

No one knew what Li Su had done to the southwestern countries, so no one knew Li Su's prestige among them.

All the countries sent their most elite troops to Lingnan, some of them were friends with Li Su, and some of them were frightened by Li Su.

Even the envoys from various countries came to Prince An's mansion first, and patted their chests to promise that as long as King An needed it, they were willing to use the power of the whole country to support King An's encouragement.

Especially the Pulan Kingdom, because Li Su had helped its lord put down the rebellion, this time Pulan Kingdom directly sent the national advisor Li Shangzhang and the princess Li Siyu to personally lead an army of [-].

This is already almost all of Pu Languo's mobilizable troops.

With the national strength of the Pulan Kingdom, just organizing so many soldiers is already risking shaking the country's foundation.

If someone attacks Pulan Kingdom during the dispatch of troops, Pulan Kingdom will be destroyed forever.

It was this trust that was enough to move Li Su.

"Brother Wang An, who offended you, Si Yu will help you beat him!"

As soon as Pu Languo's army was stationed outside Lingnan Mansion, Li Siyu couldn't wait to come to Prince An's Mansion.

"Haha, Si Yu is here, with you behind my brother, who would dare to offend my brother."

Li Su heard Li Siyu's noise in the study, and got up to greet him.

Li Su still had a good impression of this foreign woman.

The two had also been friends for many years, and he knew Li Siyu's thoughts about him.

It's just that things like feelings still need an opportunity, and the two of them obviously don't have this opportunity now.

After the last farewell, Li Siyu is now even more graceful and graceful, and the title of Goddess of Pu Languo is even more worthy of the name. It is not easy for Li Su to touch other people's little heads like before.

This time when he sent troops to Tubo, Li Su wanted to personally conquer Tubo. Tubo is no better than other countries.

Because the Dagan vassal was not allowed to leave the fief without an edict, so this time he sent troops to Tubo, Li Su planned to go there under a pseudonym.

Here in Lingnan Mansion, Cao Youde and Qi Yong stayed behind, and it was enough for the two of them to preside over Lingnan's affairs.

For this expedition, Li Su not only borrowed troops from various countries, but also privately borrowed [-] soldiers from Hou Zhengchang's frontier army. These soldiers were all from the defenders on the coastal defense line.

Combined with his own three thousand personal guards and the armies of other countries, the total is fifty thousand.

It was against the rules for the vassal king to mobilize a large number of troops. At this time, Hou Zhengchang lent his subordinates to Li Su without saying a word, and he was willing to take the charge of colluding with the vassal king. Li Su's thighs did not loosen.

Outside the border of Lingnan Prefecture.

Li Su, whose alias was Li An, looked at the army with banners and flags unfurling, and his heart suddenly felt proud.

With these [-] troops supporting him with new weapons, who in this world can stop his conquest.

It's just that this army looks a bit too regular, especially the large soldiers. Once the armor is exposed, people can recognize that they are dry soldiers.

This is not good, this time Li Su intends to pretend to be other forces to use troops against Tubo.

Doesn't the past show his identity?

In order to make his sergeants look messy, Li Su had to temporarily order to make the armor dirty as much as possible.

As for the flags, it is enough to only use the An character flag. As for the armor of the Allied Forces, there is no need to dress up.

It took some time to gather the army this time, and the capital has already started preparing for the princess' marriage.

Li Su didn't dare to delay. After rectifying the army, he sent troops to Tubo directly.

There are two roads to go from Lingnan to Li Su in Tubo, one is to cross Dagan Yungui Mansion, and the other is to take the road to Laos and Myanmar.

Li Su didn't even think about crossing Yunnan and Guizhou.

If the court knew that he had sent troops to Tubo, I am afraid that the imperial decree to punish him would have arrived before he arrived.
