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

"Money... is just something outside of one's body, something outside of one's body!" His Highness the King of Chu was actually very happy that Wang Xuance could understand his intentions. At this moment, with a smile on his face, he told the Dou family's retainers who were thinking about his real plan: "Besides, this king has long understood that money cannot buy true peace and stability. This king did this for two reasons.

First, I cannot stay in Songzhou for long. Once we leave, the defense force of Songzhou will return to its previous level. If by then, Tubo sends out a large number of cavalry to invade Songzhou as before, then even if Han Wei has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to protect everyone.

Therefore, we have to divert the trouble to others. I don't care whether Lu Dongzan ordered this robbery or not, and I don't care whether he intends to use me. Anyway, I will just take advantage of him. Didn't he say that the Bon masters in Tubo are still harboring evil intentions? Well, I will trust him for once. Not only do I trust him, I will also give him colored glassware, so that he can recruit soldiers and horses, strengthen his strength, and suppress those who oppose him. In this way, Lu Dongzan will not do anything to me again in the next two or three years, right?

And this is the second point I want to make.

Time, what this king needs most now is time." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, his eyes revealed a little sadness: "Goguryeo, this king must destroy it - this matter absolutely cannot wait, those former Sui soldiers who died in Goguryeo and whose bones were built into a Jingguan, they don't want to wait!

But right now, the situation in the northwest is still very complicated - and Tubo happens to be one of the very important uncertain factors, so this king naturally wants to take this opportunity to find something for Lu Dongzan and his Zamp to do - Tubo has just been unified, and the various forces on the plateau have not completely succumbed to their Zamp, which is also the biggest headache for Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo now, so this king decided to give him glassware - on the surface, this king is helping him solve the problem, but in fact, this king does this, first, to prevent the people of the Tang Dynasty from suffering from harassment, and second, to increase Tubo’s internal friction. Although Tubo’s strength will show explosive growth in a short period of time after Lu Dongzan eliminates those who oppose him, you should hit the snake at its weakest point - when Lu Dongzan puts down the rebellion, this king will let Su Dingfang stationed in Gaochang lead his army to attack Tubo, and this king will never give them time to breathe! "

"So, Your Highness, you previously arranged for your assassins to escort Lu Dongzan and this batch of glassware to the Tubo capital in order to familiarize yourself with the attack route in advance?" - Shan Tianchang originally thought he was a smart man, but now... he felt like a child who had just entered school for enlightenment.

"Yes, but not entirely." His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his aching neck after hearing this: "Do you know what contribution the Han envoys made to the expansion of the Han territory?"

"..." As soon as His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, anyone present who had read history books knew how profound the ins and outs of this matter were.

Okay...

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is plotting something again...

If Lu Dongzan was not stupid, he would not dare to move those black-clad assassins for fear of leaking the secret.

Because once he did that, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would be able to use this as an excuse to openly attack the Tibetan Plateau in the future - by then, no one would be able to save Tibet.

“So, Your Highness used these fifty boxes of colored glaze to buy the peace of Songzhou for the next few years, the marching route from Songzhou to the capital of Tubo, the tens of thousands of lives that Tubo was destined to pay for its internal strife, and also bought… Tubo’s most critical national destiny?!” Like Shan Tianchang, Pei Xingyan also realized for the first time the huge difference between his own patriarch’s reputation and that of the world: “Your Highness…you are truly… a man of great talent and strategy!”

"Xing Yan, you can't imitate Yuwen Qing just because I appreciate your brother." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, and turned his gaze to Yuwen Qing who was thinking seriously at the side with some curiosity: "I say, Yuwen Qing, why are you so silent today?"

"Your Highness," Yuwen Qing laughed when he heard this, "I am trying to understand your layout and plan. Well... I have realized my shortcomings some time ago, so today I am studying this strategy painstakingly..."

“Please don’t do that…” His Highness the King of Chu felt that the other party had a sense of crisis because too many strong men had joined the team of Dou’s retainers recently: “Yuwen Qing, just be yourself. As for the brainpower… generally leave it to Xuan Ce…”

“But Your Highness, what if Wang Xuance dies one day? I must always prepare for a rainy day…” - Yuwen Qing is an honest person.

"Even if I am really gone one day, it will not be my turn to prepare for a rainy day, my brother Yuwen..." Wang Xuance really wanted to curse now.

"Xuan Ce, just ignore him!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu really wanted to hit someone now.

Yuwen Qing is such a hothead, he really does whatever he wants.

"So, Your Highness, we still have to go to Goguryeo?" Although Zhang Zhenxuan admired His Highness the King of Chu for being able to prepare a response plan in such a short time, he was always used to focusing on the key points: "Then when do we set off?"

"Lu Dongzan's injury needs a few more days of recovery before it will not affect our journey," His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave an accurate answer after hearing this: "When he sets out to return to Tubo, we will also set out to Goguryeo."

"Your Highness, are you not planning to bring your brothers with you on this trip to Goguryeo?" Wang Xuance was very smart - so he could see that although His Highness the King of Chu seemed to have changed his mind after that day, when discussing matters tonight, His Highness the King of Chu did not call Li Huairen and others, which showed that he was still hesitating.

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Facing his retainers, His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not hide anything: "Although they are about the same age as me, but... they are not me after all. What I experienced in the past... they have not experienced..."

"Your Highness, take them with you." For the first time, just as His Highness the King of Chu finished speaking and no one knew what to say next, Yuan Tiangang, a big jerk among the Dou family's retainers, stood up and said, "I will guarantee their safety."

"What are you doing?" Hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu glanced at the other party unhappily. "I still have some doubts about what Zhenxuan said. If it were you... Gangzi, do you know that I am even worried about how to guarantee your safety at that time!"

"Your Highness, I am not weak, really not weak." Yuan Tiangang thought for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to calculate: "Well, you have to bring them, Your Highness. These brothers of yours will show their power in Goguryeo in the future..."
