Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

Liu Bing felt that he might be unlucky.

Ever since he was arranged to stay in Jinshan by the King of Chu, he found that He Mingshan, who had been sent together with him, always looked at him with evil intentions.

And when Liu Bing found out that he had completely lost news about His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he realized that he was in big trouble.

It seems that I have made a big mistake - now around King Chu, it seems... it seems... there is no eyeliner for His Majesty at all...

Despite this, Liu Bing, who was belatedly aware of the situation, still fulfilled his duty as the emperor's eyes and ears: while he was digging holes with Jieli Khan in Jinshan, he wrote a secret letter and sent it to Chang'an, which elaborated on After the great defeat of the Eastern Turks, why did His Highness the King of Chu go to the Western Regions to "fengtian Jingnan"? King Chu's plan to worship heaven at Jinshan was finally no longer concealed.

The day when this secret memorial arrived in Chang'an happened to be the day when Li Kuan retired after his success and returned to Gaochang City with his retainers and escorted Mohe Duo Khan.

So when the King of Chu held the final pre-war mobilization meeting with everyone, in the Taiji Hall in Chang'an, His Majesty Li Er looked at the shocking four characters "Jinshan Sacrifice to Heaven" on the letter. Even though this man has experienced hundreds of battles, But he still broke into a cold sweat.

"This little bastard... this little bastard... you want to clear out the northwest region, right?" His Majesty Li Er should have been proud of his son's ambition, but as an emperor, he understood that, Once Li Kuan does this, he will undoubtedly offend all the kings in the northwest.

If the destruction of the Eastern Turks made the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tocharo, and the newly rising Tubo feel "sorrowful" after hearing the bad news, then the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty took the Khans of the Eastern and Western Turks to The act of offering sacrifices to heaven on Jinshan Mountain made them truly feel what "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold".

This cannot continue like this. This is the common understanding reached by the top leaders of all the northwest countries in a short period of time after learning the news.

The Tang Dynasty could be powerful, but it could not be so powerful, especially since the Tang Dynasty also had a King of Chu who was more like a barbarian than a barbarian.

"Hong San!" At this thought, His Majesty Li Er suddenly put down the letter in his hand. When he stood up and walked to his bookshelf, he picked up the sword that a certain emperor had used to find a place for his younger brother. At the same time, His Majesty Li Er's The voice continued to float outside the main hall: "Let the prince, Zuo Wuhou, General Sun Wuji, and Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling come to see me quickly!"

-------------------------------------

The storm in Chang'an suddenly started, and the Western Regions were also in turmoil.

Of course, it was not the King of Chu who was making the noise.

Under the personal mediation of the Tibetan Prime Minister who came out in person, Yibi Shegui Khan and Siyehu Khan, who were originally at war with each other, learned of the explosive news he brought that "the King of Chu will bring two Turkic Khans to worship heaven in Jinshan." After hearing the news, the two finally put aside their prejudices temporarily and began to accept Lu Dongzan's proposal to unite all the foreign races in the Western Regions and start a joint crusade against the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, in Qianquan City, there were the great elders of Tuyuhun, Ye Huyi Nanai of Xue Yantuo and Tohuluo Yehu Yidal, as well as Yibi Shekui Khan and Siye Huke, who are now divided into two factions in the Western Turks. Khan, as well as Yugu She, the current leader of the Tiele tribes in the East Turks, Shu Minjue, the leader of the Shi Kingdom who represented the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and some other small country leaders, all gathered together.

As the initiator of the meeting, Lu Dongzan gave everyone a loud slap in the face as soon as he came up: "Datang, this is a new Han Dynasty. A few years ago, many of us thought it was in the national power. It has not even reached the height of the Sui Dynasty, but now, we have to change this old view." When he said this, his expression began to become solemn, and at the same time, his eyes began to slowly sweep across the people present. Everyone: "In this battle, we are not only fighting for the dignity of the two kidnapped Turkic Khans, but also for the glory of all of us - if we really let the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty... Putting up an altar to worship heaven on Jinshan Mountain is like the two champions of the Han Dynasty in those days, Huo Qubing in front of him, who sealed Lang Juxu, and... behind him was Dou Xian who restrained Shi Yanran."

However, perhaps even Lu Dongzan, who gave the example, did not expect that among the two examples he cited, the latter was the lineage of the grandmother of the King of Chu. More than a hundred years after the death of Queen Mother Dou, the person who revitalized the Dou family in Fufeng Ancestors.

Therefore, everything seems to have its own destiny, but the people in the situation have no idea about it.

"Your Excellency Lu Dongzan," Shu Minjue, the leader of the Shi Kingdom, after Lu Dongzan delivered this passionate speech, he lightly poured cold water on the spot: "On behalf of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, I would like to express my gratitude to you for what you are going to do next. We express support for all the actions taken by the Tang Dynasty, but we, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, are unable to do anything for you in practical actions - the Lord of Kang has an order, since Yibi Shekui Khan and Siyehu Khan She is not allowed to take over Kucha City, so she will not participate in this revenge matter."

"You!" Yibi Shekui Khan was furious when he heard this. He suddenly turned over the table in front of him, then stood up and glared at Shu Minjue: "Qiuci City is originally an important town in the Western Region. There is no other prosperous country! Could it be said that after the death of the city lord of Kucha City, just because of the words of the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty who was the murderer, Kucha City became your Zhaowu Nine Surnames?! How can there be such a thing in this world? reason!"

"I agree with this." Although Si Yehu Khan is not ashamed of Yibi Shekui Khan, Qiuci City has always belonged to the Xia territory of their Western Turks, and its city lord is their Turks' Ye Hu , so now that Kucha City has become ownerless again, they will not let it go at all.

While they were arguing, the great elder of Tuyuhun who witnessed all this looked at the three parties in front of him who started to argue over this matter. He slowly closed his eyes and let out an imperceptible sigh: " A plate of loose sand..."

"Shu Minjue, what qualifications do you have to pretend to be aloof? What happened to Mohe Duo Khan was not because of your cousin!" Xue Yantuo's Ye Huyi man is himself a Turk, so He will naturally stand on his own side.

"My fault will be decided by the king of my suzerain country, Kang State. You don't seem to be qualified to comment on this matter." Faced with Yi Nannai's questioning, Shu Minjue's face was livid, and he said In terms of momentum, he refused to give in even a little bit - before, he certainly wouldn't have had the courage, but now it's different.

The strength of the King of Chu has made the situation in the Western Region, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, begin to become turbulent.
