"Daozhang Sun, how is the general's health?" Lu Zhaoci helped Li Jing sit on the recliner and asked impatiently. There was a hint of worry in his words.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the general's foot disease is serious, the temperature of the sword has risen. For the foot disease, it is the best time to recover. As long as the general does not lead the army in the future, he will suffer from fatigue and poor Taoism.

With this herbal medicine, you won't have to worry about it in a short time. Your Majesty, don't worry." Sun Simiao said quickly.

"Oh, that's very good." Lu Zhaoci's heart moved when he heard this, and his face suddenly showed a hint of joy. However, he forgot the words "in a short time" that Sun Simiao said.

"Your Majesty, now that Goguryeo has been pacified, the affairs of Tubo are about to begin. I wonder how your Majesty is going to deal with Tubo?" Li Jing quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Lian is also very worried about this matter." Seeing this, Lu Zhaoci also sighed, shook his head and said: "Lu Dongzan is a character, he insists on staying in Chang'an, but he has a good plan, knowing that

The Tang Dynasty cannot send troops at this time, and although Tubo cannot send troops, they can often send troops and horses to harass our court, so this time the alliance is at a loss, which makes it very difficult for the alliance to handle!"

Although Tubo does not have the strength to attack the Tang Dynasty, it can launch small-scale wars and constantly harass the borders of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty made peace every year, it could not stop the Huns.

People constantly harassed the borders of the Han Dynasty, plundered everything in the Han Dynasty, and killed the people of the Han Dynasty. The situation is the same now. The border of the Tang Dynasty is really too big and too long. Although the national power of the Tang Dynasty is very

It is powerful, but its troops and horses are limited. They have just captured Goguryeo. Not only have they not digested everything about Goguryeo, their own troops and horses also need to rest and their elite soldiers also need to be trained. In a short period of time, they will not be able to form a strong deterrent to the Tubo people.

In addition, Tubo was far away on the plateau. Lu Dongzan saw this clearly and decided to stay in Chang'an. Anyway, everything here was supplied by the Tang Dynasty. He did not believe that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could still

Let him stay in Chang'an City. One day, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will summon him. At that time, he can put forward conditions. Even if his request cannot be met, it will still make the Tang Dynasty pay a certain price.

Lu Zhaoci clearly knew there was something fishy about it, but he didn't know how to face it. He could only place Lu Dongzan in Chang'an while hiding in Luoyang. This was also a useless thing. Only Lu Zhaoci was like this.

Only then did he say it without hesitation.

Li Jing nodded. He deeply understood Lu Zhaoci's mood at this moment, but he also understood more deeply that the most important thing for the Tang Dynasty at this time was to recuperate and recuperate, rather than to launch troops to conquer the west, which would not be to expand the territory."

But it was really a desperate act.

"Your Majesty, if possible, can you send a small force to follow the example of the Turks and constantly harass the territory of Tibet?" Sun Simiao said softly on the side.

"Haha, Taoist Sun didn't know something. Tubo is located on a plateau, which is different from the geographical location of our country. It is difficult for the people of the Central Plains to adapt to the environment on the plateau." Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but smile and explained: "My army

Without adaptation, after entering the plateau, it is good to be able to achieve 30% in combat effectiveness." Some people even failed to achieve 30% and died on the plateau. That's why His Majesty asked Xu Shiji to train soldiers in Dafei.

This is also something that can’t be helped.”

"If our country had not attacked Goguryeo, there would have been no rebellion in the country." Songtsan Gampo would not have taken the risk of attacking the Tang Dynasty and sent troops to threaten me to go to the Western Regions. Lian would not dare to offend Lian even if he gave him ten courages.

But things are different now. Songtsen Gampo is also a hero of the generation. Since the matter has been done, "then do it thoroughly. He and Lian will never stop fighting." Lu Zhaoci said through gritted teeth.

The story of Princess Wencheng marrying Songtsen Gampo has been passed down through the ages, and Lu Zhaoci naturally knew about it. Later, many princesses in the Tang Dynasty also married into Tibet. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet was relatively harmonious. But that was not the case.

It's just because there are few conflicts between the two countries. Since the death of the heroic leader Songtsen Gampo in Tubo, the previous rulers have not been diligent in governing, and in the Tang Dynasty, no powerful people have emerged since Li Shimin.

Well, the only one Li Longji was a man who opened up new territories and expanded his territory. Unfortunately, he was also a man who was very happy with his achievements. Once others praised him, they immediately forgot their hatred. When he saw the leader of the Tubo Kingdom professing to him,

Just let go of Tibet immediately. How can it be like now, when Songtsen Gampo is still here and launched a wrong war against the Tang Dynasty. Although it was at the wrong time, Tubo was not prepared in any way. But the emperor is the emperor.

When the emperor is not wrong, since he has launched a war, he will fight to the death. What's more, Tubo also has a great advantage in some aspects, because of the geographical advantage, which can solve many problems. The only way is for Tubo to attack,

It cannot be the attack of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty attacks, it will consume a lot of energy and cause heavy casualties. Songtsen Gampo also saw this clearly, so he is not afraid of the revenge of the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, Lu Zhaoci did the same

Once you see this, you will feel embarrassed. You don’t know what to do, so you can only resort to dragging your feet.

"If you don't take action, you will fight to the death." Li Jing's face was solemn, with a cold look in his eyes, and he said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is to let the border officers and soldiers defend the pass. The veteran heard that the Southwest Five

A problem has also arisen. I thought it would be better to attack from the 5th Southwest Division. After the 5th Southwest Division is solved, then send troops to Tibet and attack from both sides. Even if the 1st Southwest Division cannot invade Tubo, it can still hold back part of Tibet's troops and let Songtsan.

Ganbu was cautious. He didn't dare to say that all the troops should be placed on the front line of Dafei to gain some opportunities for Datang. Or he could let the five Southwest Ministries get into chaos first. I think Songtsan Gambo would definitely see the problem in this.

If Tubo does not want to be attacked from both sides, it will definitely send troops to intervene. In a short period of time, he has no intention of causing trouble for Xu Shiji."

"Even if they come to trouble Xu Shiji, Lian will not be afraid. How can Lian's soldiers be afraid of those barbarians?" Lu Zhaoci showed a cold look on his lips. He sneered: "Even if all the people of Lian are soldiers, each of them will be a soldier."

Even spitting will drown them all."

"My wish is to let Chun Yong return to the Western Regions." Li Jing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he glanced at Sun Simiao again and said, "Dao Priest Sun, Dao Priest Lao is here today. As for dispensing the medicine, the Tao Priest still needs to go out in person.

Just a moment."

"Okay, that's it." The old Taoist said goodbye. The general must not work too hard." How could Sun Simiao not know that the following words were not something that an outsider like him could hear, and he was unwilling to hear them, so he quickly stood up and said,

He gave Li Jing a thousand warnings and instructions, and finally bowed to Lu Zhao and left the pavilion.

"Brother Jing, why are you so nervous? Taoist Master Sun is an outsider and a sincere gentleman. There is nothing to say." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile, but he shook his head.

"Your Majesty," the following words came from the mouth of the minister and entered the ears of His Majesty. No one else can know about it before going." Li Jing looked solemn when he heard this and said softly.

"General, please speak." Lu Zhaoci looked stunned, even sitting upright, staring into Li Jing's eyes and asked.

"Tai Yong has a very high prestige in the Western Regions. Although he has a bad name, he is a general who is good at conquering and fighting. If he goes to the Western Regions, he will be able to lead a hundred thousand Western Regions coalition troops." Li Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry.

Look, the Western Region is now in the hands of the Tang Dynasty." On the Silk Road, there are countless caravans in the desert every day, but when the countries in the Western Region unite, there are still many armies. These guys have no influence on the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Region.

is disadvantageous.

Why doesn't Your Majesty ask Qin Yong to go back to the Western Regions to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses? As the so-called "two tigers fight", one of them will be injured. These soldiers and horses in the Western Regions still have to be eliminated, and similarly, Tubo's strength also has to be consumed. We, the Tang Dynasty

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it can weaken the strength of Tubo. As for food and grass, Tai Yong will definitely find a way to solve it, and it will be easy to solve. Your Majesty, "What do you think?"

Lu Zhaoci took a breath. He finally understood why Li Jing asked Sun Simiao to leave the pavilion. This idea was really terrible. Once word spread, how would the history books record what happened today and how would Lu Zhaoci be evaluated?

Ci and Li Jing. Li Jing was just borrowing a knife to kill someone. But the knife he wanted to borrow was from the countries in the Western Regions that had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the person he wanted to kill was Tubo. As for what Li Jing said about obtaining food and grass, it was

It was just taken from the hands of the Tubo people. For the Tubo people, the arrival of the killing god Taiyong was simply a nightmare. Tubo, which has a population smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, faced Taiyong's killing, and did not know that it would die.

How many people? Li Jing's idea was too vicious. Even Lu Zhaoci's expression changed. This is a typical behavior of benefiting oneself at the expense of others.

"I also heard that Su Dingfang is also very majestic on the grassland." Li Jing said softly: "Whether you are a grassland person or a person from the Western Regions, it is easier to adapt to the Tubo environment than I, a Tang Dynasty person.

The two of them can cooperate with each other to form a coalition, which will definitely help His Majesty to hold off Songtsen Gampo in a short time, and even give him a severe blow." When Li Jing said this, he suddenly stopped talking and looked seriously.

The idea came from Lu Zhaoci, but it was Lu Zhaoci who really made the decision.

Lu Zhaoci thought for a long time and then said softly: "This matter will be seriously considered by the Federation." There was a complicated look in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. If someone is not of my race, his heart will be determined.

Different. This point of view is applicable at any time. What's more, this is the Tang Dynasty, not the time when I originally belonged. At that time, it was simply impossible for any nation to split. Aircrafts, cannons and even missiles could

It is enough to solve the problem, but in this era, it is different. A slightly weaker central government, or a slightly weaker imperial power, is enough to overthrow an empire. For thousands of years, the Han people have no idea how to survive for themselves.

There have been wars with so many ethnic groups. For the sake of the picturesque mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, ethnic minorities have invaded countless times.

Li Jing, however, took Lu Zhaoci's look into his heart, nodded, and said: "In a while, the prince will get married, and both Tai Yong and Su Dingfang will return to Chang'an. When the time comes, let the old ministers meet.

What do you think, Your Majesty?" It was difficult for Lu Zhaoci to come forward in this matter, but it was possible for Li Jing.

"Hey, then there's Brother Lao Jing." Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply and said, "It's just Kuzi and the others. After all, these two people have to bear the reputation of being rebellious for a long time.

.”

"Haha, Your Majesty is wrong." Li Jing suddenly laughed and said: "Your Majesty, isn't there another one to recruit? When it's almost time, Your Majesty will recruit them again, and then spread the word to the world, whatever

Just kill one or two traitors, the champion will naturally remain the champion, and Su Dingfang will still be his general."

"Brother Jing, I want Lu Dongzan's head." Lu Zhaoci suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "This man is Songtsen Gampo's think tank. He is very talented. More importantly, this man is both civil and military. This man

If he were here, I'm afraid Tai Yong and Su Dingfang wouldn't be able to do anything to Tibet. If he were to kill this person, it would be equivalent to breaking an arm of Songtsen Gampo."

"This veteran understands." Li Jing shook his head when he heard this and said: "My veteran never thought that such a person would appear in Tubo. He is really a powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty! This person cannot be allowed to return to Tubo alive.

"

"That's very good." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "The prince is old too." Lian is still very clear now and has not been deceived by the imperial power. However, Lian is afraid that he will be deceived by the imperial power in the future and will do many great things.

Things have happened, such as the Spring First Emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The relationship is very confusing now!"

"Your Majesty wants to give the throne to the crown prince?" Li Jing's eyes moved, and finally he sighed deeply and said, "Although I have noticed it for a long time, I was still surprised when it came out of His Majesty's mouth at this time!"

"The general has noticed this a long time ago?" Lu Zhaoci looked at Li Jing in surprise and said.

"Haha! I'm afraid not only the minister has noticed it, but Mr. Wenwenju has also noticed it." Li Jing said with a smile: "If the old minister's guess is correct, I am afraid that during this period, this article basically does not care about the affairs of the court.

"When will His Majesty abdicate?" I'm afraid it will be when he retires and returns to his hometown. This fox is very cunning! He won't give the prince any chance." Li Jing shook his head, with admiration in his eyes. It is possible to retire.

There are various ways to retreat. Although this person has reached a high position, there are very few people who want to retreat bravely. Undoubtedly, this may be possible with the text.

"Haha, is it the ginger or the old that is hotter? Mr. Cen is smarter than Wolong. Lian knew that Lian's thoughts couldn't be hidden from him." Lu Zhaoci did not hide it, but said with a smile: "The prince is also older.

, can also inherit the position of emperor. He has many capable ministers and generals under his command, so Lian does not have to worry. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen did not do anything in his life, but he did one very important thing.

What happened was that he trained talents for Emperor Jing. He had Jia Yi as a literary figure, Huang Cuo, and Zhou Yafu as a military commander. Only then did Emperor Jing remain calm in the face of danger, defeating all the princes in one fell swoop, and protecting the country.

Complete, the first half of Lian's life was to unify the world and expand the territory, and in the next few years he was to cultivate talents for the future emperor. Wen You including Chen Guangrui, Qiu Renjie, Wu You Qin Yong, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and others are all outstanding talents.

, Chenglie’s achievements with the help of these people must be above Lian. What else does Lian have to worry about? Handing over the throne early will avoid becoming Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty one day.

It’s the same character. Immortality. How can there be immortality in this world? The longer the emperor is, the more power he has, the more he thinks about immortality. Later, the more stupid he becomes, Lian doesn’t want to

When you get old, you will be laughed at by others. So it is better to give up the throne. Not only Lian, but also Lian's sons will do the same. He can't be emperor for more than twenty years. Then he abdicates and makes way for others. This is what the previous emperors did.

After a long time, the time of the subsequent emperors will be shortened, which is not good for the empire." Li Jing did not say anything after hearing this. It was not easy for him to interrupt in such matters.

"Your Majesty wants to meditate, not only because of this, but also for the sake of the princes!" Li Jing said softly: "His Royal Highness is also a benevolent and righteous person. I don't think such a thing will happen."

"I don't know if there will be a union. But Lian just wants to help him during his lifetime!" Lu Zhaoci said with a golden light in his eyes: "Although the prince is wise, he is still young, and Lian is

The founder of the country immediately conquered the world, and there were many generals following him. How prestigious this person is in the army! So Lenovo will help the prince again."

Li Jing became even more silent after hearing this. This was also because Lu Zhaoci had a very good relationship with him, otherwise Lu Zhaoci would not have said these words. Lu Zhaoci abdicated not only because he did not want to be emperor, but also because

Those who escorted the prince were protected from the rebelliousness of the generals who followed him. With Lu Zhaoci's presence, these generals did not dare to make mistakes. And by the time Lu Zhaoci died, the prince had been on the throne for many years, and he

His authority has long been established, who will have an impact on his throne. Of course, Lu Zhaoci's behavior is not only directed at the military commander, but also at the civil servants. It has to be said that Lu Zhaoci's behavior as an emperor

Li Jing could only look up to the sky and sigh, not daring to say any words of objection. (To be continued.)
