Li Shimin

Page 575

After an hour passed, Lu Dongzan seemed to notice something, looked up, and at some point, a figure appeared beside him.

He slightly arched his hands towards Lu Dongzan, "Vice Minister Lu, Your Majesty invites you to the private room on the third floor!"

"Trouble the general!"

Lu Dongzan looked happy, and followed the strong man directly to the third floor.

In a private room on the third floor, after Lu Dongzan and Li Xuan finished their meeting, Li Xuan did not put on airs, but spoke directly.

"Lu Dongzan, do you know why this king is looking for you?"

"This?"

Lu Dongzan was stunned, pretending to know nothing, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness to call the envoy here today, but what do you need the envoy for?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan snorted fiercely as if thinking of something bothering him.

Afterwards, he said in a low voice: "This king wants to seize a share of the foundation for himself. When will the Tubo army be recruited, and can we go down the mountain and conspire with this king?"

Lu Dong praised this, as if he finally understood something, his face changed slightly: "The king wants to be in Tuyuhun..."

Then, under Li Xuan's slight nod, his expression became excited again.

"Don't worry, your majesty, as long as your majesty gives an order, my Tubo army of 20 can be assembled within ten days!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan's face was slightly happy, "You can write to Songtsan Gambo that this king wants to borrow the Tubo army in a month's time!"

Chapter 736 The Serious Discussion Between The King and Lu Dongzan

This time, Lu Dongzan did not nod blindly, but cautiously asked Li Xuan: "I don't know what the king is going to do?"

"Or, how will the envoy report to me Tubo Zanpu?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, if the envoy only reports to me, Tubo Zanpu, Your Majesty will lend me Tubo's 20 troops in one month.

There are no reasons or details for such an important matter. According to the strict laws of my Tubo Zanpu, if I send an envoy back to Tubo, he will definitely be punished, and even beheaded in severe cases! "

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to mobilize a country's army without any reason.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "A few days ago, I don't know which thief told His Majesty that this king had an unruly intention, and made this king arouse His Majesty's suspicion. If I let this king find out who is the thief?" , this king will definitely cut him into pieces, smash his bones into ashes!"

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan's eyes tightened slightly.

Li Xuan didn't notice it, and continued to say: "Fortunately, this time when I attacked Tuyuhun, this king obtained the post of the general manager of the Yanze Road from His Majesty. Suddenly, with my troops and horses, In addition, among the other soldiers and horses, there are also some old cronies of the king.

This king can control more than 3 soldiers and horses, plus Tubo's 20 army, after this king captures Tuyuhun, he can turn the entire Tuyuhun into his vassal state.

And the 20 soldiers and horses of Tubo need to help the king resist the counterattack of the Tang army..."

When Li Xuan finished speaking, Lu Dongzan couldn't help opening his mouth wide, his face full of shock.

"Your Majesty wants to swallow the entire Tuyuhun, and even Minzhou and Songzhou?"

"It's natural!"

Li Xuan's expression was gloomy, full of resentment.

"This king has been preparing for such a long time, and just need to endure for a few more years, the strength in his hand is enough to fight against Li Shimin, and even do the thing that will change the world!

Who would have imagined that that nasty thief would directly poke such a big hole in front of His Majesty with my king's plan for so many years.

Now, the king has to act hastily.However, as long as you wait for the Tubo army to cooperate well, not only Minzhou and Songzhou, but even Hezhou, Yaozhou, and Qinzhou may be captured! "

"Hezhou, Yaozhou, Qinzhou..."

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan's expression was even more shocking. He didn't expect that the power of the Great Tang and Jin Kings would be so strong.

At the same time, I was also slightly happy in my heart.

Fortunately, on impulse a few days ago, he promptly informed His Majesty Datang about the King Jin.

Let the King Jin of the Great Tang Dynasty be noticed by the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty before his wings were full.In this way, the king of Jin had to rely on them to fight against the emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, they would not get any benefit from this big event!

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Jin, my Tubo army of 20 troops will cost a lot of money. I wonder if His Royal Highness King Jin will provide food and supplies!"

Thinking about it, Lu Dongzan said again: "Besides, I, Tubo, dispatched an army of 20 to help His Royal Highness King Jin capture Tuyuhun, Minzhou and Song, and may even capture Hezhou, Yaozhou, and Qinzhou. Territory, it is bound to be frantically counterattacked by Datang.

I don't know if Jinwang Palace can give me any benefits for Tubo? "

"benefit?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes, and stared at Lu Dongzan with a cold face: "You Tubo is a subject of this king's subject, and this king wants you to send troops, but you still want to ask for benefits from me?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. You also know that since ancient times, no matter who it is, sending troops will consume a lot of money! Especially after the war, the casualties of soldiers are huge. Among other things, the pension is a large sum of money.

Especially for a small country like Tubo, every soldier is an extremely precious treasure.

If the king asked me to directly dispatch 20 troops from Tubo, and finally helped the king fight a few battles, more than half of my Tubo soldiers would be injured, but in the end they didn't get anything.

In this way, I, Tubo Zanpu, will not only kill Xiaoshi.In the end, under the instigation of all the landlords and nobles, I, Tubo Zanpu, will definitely not give up..."

With that said, Lu Dongzan quickly looked at Li Xuan.

Although the king of Jin could repent in time and embark on the path he expected.

However, the dispatch of troops must be communicated in advance.

Otherwise, when the time comes, the king of Jin and his own Zanpu will directly turn against each other because of the uneven distribution between the capture of Tuyuhun and Minzhou, Songzhou and other places.

Well, not only did he not do anything good for Tubo this time, but he might even bring disaster to Tubo!

"Thirty percent of all property, miscellaneous livestock, food and grass that Tuyuhun messed up will be shared with Tubo!" Li Xuan said.

"Thirty percent?"

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but froze, this King of Tang and Jin is really picky!

"My lord, I sent 20 troops from Tubo, and you only get [-]% of it. Don't say that the envoy thinks it is too little. I am afraid that the envoy will report this matter to me, Tubo Zanpu, and the envoy will definitely be punished by me, Tubo Zanpu!"

"Thirty percent is less?"

Li Xuan also had an angry expression on his face.

"Don't be too greedy. Tuyuhun is a country anyway, and there must be a lot of property. Thirty percent, Bill and Tubo have given me several times more atonements from Datang these two times!"

"Your Majesty misunderstood!"

Lu Dongzan was stunned, and then said hastily: "Although Tuyuhun is a country, it is not rich.

In addition, Tuyuhun was occupied by the Longxi Li family of the Tang Dynasty, and four cities were taken away. In addition, the army has been mobilized all the year round in the past two years, and the country can't even give the Tang Dynasty's apology property!

Therefore, the king would not seize much property, grain, grass, and miscellaneous animals when he attacked Tuyuhun!

Even, maybe not even [-]% of what Tubo sent to Datang to make amends! "

"So poor?"

Li Xuan was taken aback.

He had never thought that Tuyuhun was so poor.

"So, this king will also give you [-]% of Tuyuhun's territory!"

"Thirty percent of the territory?"

Lu Dongzan looked embarrassed again.

"You still think it's too little?"

Seeing this, Li Xuan frowned slightly.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. This time, I will send 20 troops from Tubo, and they are all brave men. Your Majesty only gives me such a small amount of property. I, Tubo, really..."

Lu Dongzan still wants to continue to fight for a little more.

However, Li Xuan lost the intention to continue chatting with Lu Dongzan, and his face darkened.

"Don't you don't know what is good or bad, this king doesn't believe it. You Tubo can really send 20 brave soldiers. Thirty percent of your property and territory is already the biggest limit that this king has for you. If you don't want to send troops, this king will never force it." !"

Sensing that His Royal Highness King Jin had reached the final limit of tolerance, Lu Dongzan didn't say any more, but nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, and the envoy will tell me Tubo Zanpu exactly what His Majesty wants!"

……

Chapter 737 The Crusade Begins

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and drank the cup of tea on the table in one gulp.

Under Lu Dongzan's astonished gaze, he said again: "When writing letters, you hozen should be more careful. These days, your majesty has been suspicious of this king, and even sent someone to keep an eye on you and other Tubo. Envoy.

Just in case, you'd better go back to Tubo in person and inform Songtsan Gampo of this matter! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me!"

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan, who was planning to write a letter, shuddered subconsciously.

Only then did he realize that whether he was facing the King of Jin or the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was becoming more and more unsafe for the Tubo envoys to stay in Chang'an City.

If any party finds out that they are informers on the left and right, they will definitely be torn to pieces!

He even brought disaster on them in Tubo!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the envoy will leave Chang'an City directly after he resigns from Honglu Temple tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then got up directly and walked outside.

Under the astonished gaze of Lu Dongzan behind him, Li Xuan walked down the stairs and went directly to the backyard of the tea shop.

After getting into an ordinary carriage, the two identical carriages around quickly left the tea shop first.

Afterwards, Li Xuan's carriage slowly left the tea shop.

"King Jin is indeed cautious enough!"

Lu Dongzan nodded slowly, and then carefully observed the downstairs of the tea shop again. After finding no suspicious person, he left slowly.

It's just that what Lu Dongzan didn't know was.

The very cautious King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, after driving two streets in an ordinary carriage, directly got into a luxurious four-wheeled carriage and swaggered towards Lijiazhuang.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Dongzan went to Honglu Temple and asked for instructions to leave Chang'an and return to Tubo.

And Honglu Temple did not make things difficult for these envoys to leave the Tang Dynasty, and issued a guide, allowing them to leave.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan, who was overjoyed in his heart, took a few subordinates and hurried away that afternoon.

By the time Li Xuan got the news, it was already noon the next day.

"I didn't expect this Tubo hozen to run very fast!"

"Uncle Wang, these Tubo hozen may be afraid that the emperor will go to them again, and then you will find out!"

On the side, Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"What are you afraid of? Even if I discover it in person, as long as he thinks it's okay, I will pretend not to see it!" Li Xuan smiled teasingly.

"However, these Tubo hozen don't know that Uncle Wang will cooperate with him like this!"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness for the Tubo monkey when he saw his father and uncle team up to deceive that Tubo monkey.

Na Ludong praised Hozen and thought that he was the manipulator behind the scenes.

But he didn't know that he was the steel knife in the hands of the people, who would be sharpened by the most powerful Tang Jin King and Tang Emperor, and slashed fiercely at Tubo.

However, thinking of the ungratefulness and shamelessness of the Tubo hozen, Li Chengqian felt a burst of joy in his heart!
