Chapter 228 Tubo

This trace of murderous intent was fleeting, but it was also captured by General Qin Qiong next to him. However, in such an occasion, General Qin Qiong was not in a position to say anything.

It is normal to think about it. Li Xiang has achieved such an achievement at the age of fourteen. Once he becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no one in the surrounding small vassal states will be able to survive. Although Tubo is a big country in the southwest, it is not as close to the big country as it is to the Tang Dynasty. Compared with Tang, there are still many shortcomings.

Now Li Shimin is accumulating strength. If we wait until the day when Li Xiang ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, it is hard to believe how far the Tang Dynasty will develop. By then, the Tubo Kingdom may not be able to survive. It is normal to think of getting rid of Li Xiang now. I thought, if General Qin Qiong knew that there was such a young man in Tubo, he would probably take action.

"Master Xiangguo praised you too much. I didn't know that Master Xiangguo was here today. If I had known this, I should have come earlier so that I could chat more with Master Xiangguo. I am extremely interested in the customs and customs of your place. I heard that you The altitude there is several thousand meters higher than here. I really don’t know how you live your daily life?”

After Li Xiang said what he said, the expression on Lu Dongzan's face became even more abnormal. He originally thought that Li Xiang had not noticed them, but now it seems that Li Xiang had already noticed Tubo.

"The soil and water support the people. We were born on that plateau, so we are naturally very familiar with the local environment and climate. When we came down to Chang'an City, we felt a lot of physical discomfort. It seems that it is better to stay on our own territory."

Lu Dongzan turned a corner and pointed it out to Li Xiang. Even if you are ambitious, you have to consider the differences between the two places.

Li Xiang said a few more words to this guy, and then the people from the Lifan Academy came, and Lu Dongzan said goodbye to Li Xiang. Li Xiang still wanted to host a welcome ceremony here to welcome the southwest army.

"What a shame."

Li Xiang looked at Lu Dongzan's back and said this. The people next to him were puzzled, what's the pity?

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Cheng Yaojin squeezed over and said.

"Fortunately, I followed you to Chang'an. If you had followed me, I would have killed him halfway..."

Li Xiang's words made everyone take a breath of cold air. If you say you click, you will click. Do you know who they are? He is the Prime Minister of Tubo, and it is said that he is also the teacher of Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo. If you kill him, then a war between the two countries will be inevitable. Although there is still a Tuyuhun between us, I really want to fight. Tuyuhun is really not a big deal.

"Get out of here. We just finished the war. Don't start a war easily. I came to Chang'an City to ask for my hand in marriage."

Cheng Yaojin usually doesn't pay attention when he talks, and everyone is basically used to it. When talking to the emperor, this guy is full of spoken words. Don't expect him to pay much attention when talking to Li Xiang.

"Proposing marriage? Didn't the court announce it to the outside world? If we don't get married in the future, it was decided at the last court meeting. Will Tubo know?"

This question was also what Li Xiang wanted to ask, but it was Changsun Chong who said it. Before, they thought that getting married was nothing. A woman could bring about the safety of the entire country. Isn't this the way to minimize the loss?

But after Li Xiang's speech in the court, both the first-generation generals and the second-generation junior generals all agreed with what Li Xiang said. If women were to exchange for peace, So what do you want us gentlemen to do? We were all shorter than others when we walked outside, so from that time on, these people opposed the marriage, which was an insult to them generals.

"Tubo is far away from our country. It took nearly six months just to travel. They didn't know our country's national policy at all when they set off. Now that they know it, they probably won't bring it up. As for some other things I don’t know, I guess it has something to do with Tuyuhun.”

Now the roads are not accessible at all. The most basic time for Tubo to come to the Tang Dynasty is six months. Then you have to choose it in spring and summer. If you choose it in winter, don't even think about being able to go there. General Qin Qiong said This is very clear.

"Among the land that Tuyuhun gave us, isn't there also a piece of high ground in the southwest? Can our soldiers stand it?"

Li Xiang suddenly remembered another thing. Part of Tuyuhun's territory is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The reason why Li Xiang asked for this land was because he wanted to train our soldiers in batches. One day, if we fight against Tibet, If so, we can use it.

"We all remember the place you mentioned. I also sent people up there. Let alone fight after we get there, it will be difficult to breathe just staying where you are. Only a very small number of people can bear it."

Cheng Yaojin personally took people there. This guy was also very interested in unknown things. He rode a horse back and forth for more than ten days and almost died in that place, so he was very excited when talking about that place. shook his head.

When the generals in Chang'an heard that there was such a place, they immediately became interested and started chatting. However, Li Xiang was relieved. As long as there is such a place, we can continue to work together in the future. If we send troops up, even if one out of ten people can adapt, we can go to war with Tubo in the future.

Li Xiang once looked up history. Before Princess Wencheng married the Tubo Kingdom, our army actually fought with the Tubo Army. The battle took place on the edge of the plateau. As a result, we were no match for them. It is precisely because of this that, Li Shimin just married the princess.

The timeline of this era when Li Xiang was reborn is a bit wrong, so the princess hasn't been married yet.

But now that Li Xiang is here, Princess Wencheng will never be able to leave Chang'an.

A welcome ceremony, because the affairs of the Tubo Kingdom ended hastily, and everyone is acquaintances themselves, so there is no need to cause problems at these ceremonies.

What's more, some people have been away from home for too long, so they have to go home quickly to reunite with their families. No one wants to waste time on such a ceremony. The original two-hour ceremony ended in the last hour.

Cheng Yaojin and General Qin Qiong were unable to return home, so they both went to Qinzheng Hall to report to the emperor.

Li Xiang didn't have the time to accompany him, and was about to flee. Who knew that a team came from the direction of Chang'an City, and the leader was Wang De.

"Your Highness, please don't leave yet. The Emperor has a decree..."

As soon as he said this, Li Xiang knew that he couldn't leave today.
