    ??

    Songtsen Gampo¡¯s marching and fighting style was as fast as thunder.

    It didn¡¯t take much time at all to clean up the Tuyuhun, Dangxiang and other tribes. It only took a few days to directly defeat these tribes.

    Soon, the Tubo army was stationed near Songzhou.

    Songzhou was an important transportation route from Jiannan Road to Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty. There is Gansong Ridge three hundred miles northwest of Songzhou City. Historically, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, a Tongrail Army was set up here to guard it. To the west of the Tongrail Army was Dangxiang, and the northwest of Dangxiang leads to  Tuyuhun, and the current location where Tubo is stationed is near Gansong Ridge.

    After waiting near Songzhou, Songtsen Gampo did not let the soldiers rush to attack this time, but began to set up camp.

    ??Inside the dental tent.

    Chisang Yang was full of doubts: "King, why don't you take the opportunity to attack?"

    Songtsen Gampo said: "In a war, in addition to the outcome of the war, the most important thing is your strategic intention. If your strategic intention is achieved, even if you lose the war, it will not matter. This is  The king's current strategic intention has basically been achieved. If Songzhou is captured, it will not be the icing on the cake, but add fuel to the fire. You have followed me to the Tang Dynasty. Do you think the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers will be compared to these tribes?  Like?"

    Chisang Yangton shook his head: "The combat effectiveness of Tang Dynasty soldiers is stronger than this."

    "Yes, and it is much stronger. I have no 100% chance of winning against the Tang Dynasty. What's more, Songzhou has been occupied by the Tang Dynasty. Our army is not good at attacking the city. If we attack the city rashly, we will lose our troops.  .¡±

    Songtsen Gampo is understated and has a sharp light in his eyes.

    There is no doubt that this is not a fool, but an extremely smart person.

    How could such a person be a fool when he ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, and used his own skills to bring the rebellious Tubo of the old nobles into submission, and expand Tubo all the way?

    Chisang Yang thought for a while: "King, what should we do next?"

    Songtsen Gampo smiled slightly: "It's simple, go and call people over. I want to write a letter and send it to Chang'an."

    Soon, someone came, grinding and preparing paper and pen, and Songtsen Gampo put his hands behind his hands and began to recite.

    After reciting it for a while, towards the end, Songtsen Gampo said directly: "If the princess doesn't come, I will go deeper."

    What this means is that if the princess of the Tang Dynasty does not come, I will continue to send troops to attack Songzhou.

    After finishing the recitation, Songtsen Gampo directly asked the envoy to go straight to Songzhou.

    After doing this, Songtsen Gampo said to Chisang Yangdun: "Send someone to call the formation in Songzhou City to test the reality of Songzhou."

    ¡­¡­

    The news traveled all the way east, and it didn¡¯t take long before it reached Chang¡¯an.

    At this moment, it¡¯s morning.

    Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair with an indifferent expression. The messenger sent from Songzhou below was reading this letter.

    "Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has always been on friendly terms with the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo has always heard that the princess of the Tang Dynasty symbolizes the friendship between the two countries. Today, Ganbu is here to propose to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty"

    "If the princess doesn't come, I'll go deeper."

    Soon, the content of the letter was read out. Throughout the letter, Songtsen Gampo was polite at the beginning, but at the end, the meaning could not be more obvious, it was a naked threat.

    After the man finished reading, he said again: "Your Majesty, Tubo has penetrated deep into Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun has escaped, Dangxiang has been defeated and surrendered, and Tubo is currently stationing troops at the Songzhou border."

    There was an uproar in the court hall.

    Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth: "Damn Tubo, I should have known that I would have to twist off his head!"

    Those civil servants were also whispering.

    Li Shimin asked: "Who is the name of the general stationed at Songzhou, and how many soldiers are there?"

    "Your Majesty, the name of the governor stationed at Songzhou is Han Wei, and the garrison army is six thousand people."

    Six thousand people is considered too many. Songzhou was originally a lower governor's palace, and its own military strength was not large. Even during Wu Zetian's period, the threat from Tibet was increasing day by day, but the Tang Dynasty's troops stationed in Songzhou did not exceed 10,000.  people.

    Li Chengqian came out: "Father, Tubo dares to attack our Tang Dynasty. This trend must not rise and must be controlled in time."

    Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, also said: "Your Majesty, what the prince said makes sense, and we must send troops."

    Li Shimin said: "My dear friends, I have recently received information that Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo have also formed an alliance. They have close contacts and have already begun to train their soldiers."

      As soon as the news came out, the ministers were in an uproar again.

    Wei Zheng went out and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the threat from Tibet is not very great. There is no need to send troops for the time being. Songzhou's six thousand garrison troops are enough to guard the western gate. If Tibet really dares to attack, it will not be too late to send troops.  We should first guard against Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo."

    Tang Jian also went out and said: "Your Majesty, I can send an envoy to Goguryeo to ask them to hand over their hostages."

    A proton is a hostage, usually the prince is used as a hostage.

    In the court hall, everyone was talking a lot, but Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair and pondering.

    Currently, the borders of the Tang Dynasty, to the west and northeast, are suddenly under threat and have to be defended.

    It was at this time that a voice sounded outside: "The prince consort asks for an audience!"

    Huh?

    Everyone who was discussing state affairs was shocked.

    It is already halfway through the morning court. According to the past, the prince-in-law would not come at all, but just sleep in. But I never expected that this time the prince-in-law would come and scream for the morning court?

    Soon, Zhao Chen¡¯s figure entered the main hall.

    "Your Majesty."

    Zhao Chen cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

    "Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"

    Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "I heard that the Tubo bandits invaded Songzhou and have already stationed troops in Songzhou?"

    "Mr. Zhao is well-informed."

    Zhao Chen said directly: "In that case, I want to go to Songzhou in person."

    In the main hall, the officials were even more surprised.

    The Prince Consort wants to go to Songzhou in person?

    Li Shimin immediately said: "Mr. Zhao, Tubo is currently stationing troops on the Songzhou border with obvious intentions. If you go to Songzhou now, you are putting yourself in danger."

    "Your Majesty, why not sacrifice your life for the country? What's more, how could someone who cherishes his life so much die?"

    "Then I will appoint soldiers and generals to protect you all the way."

    "Your Majesty, there is no need for generals. I need soldiers, and I need these soldiers to listen to my orders."

    Li Shimin nodded: "It's all trivial matters, Mr. Zhao, your life is much more important than Songzhou's."

    The other ministers were silent.

    And Zhao Chen did not stay long. After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately left the hall without waiting to announce his resignation.

    The other courtiers looked at Zhao Chen's back as he left gracefully, and sighed silently again.

    Giving birth to a son should be like the son-in-law of Zhao.

    And Zhao Chen took the imperial edict and token, immediately returned to Zhao Manor, and called Zhao Zhong over at the same time.

    "Go, let Lao Qin and the others come over and prepare for war." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
