I look forward to the continued support of the book friends!)

Needless to say, it was Chen Yi who rushed over and approached Su Dingfang.

After Su Dingfang left, Chen Yi originally wanted to say something to Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian did not give him a chance, so he could only go out depressed and prepare to leave the palace. After leaving the Xianju Palace, he happened to see Su Dingfang walking in front and heading towards the palace gate. Without hesitation, he chased forward to say hello.

When Su Dingfang heard the call, he stopped and saw that Chen Yi was jogging and chasing him. After a moment of stunned silence, he also stood and waited.

"You have met Duke Xing!" Chen Yi, who stood two steps away from home in front of Su Dingfang, saluted respectfully. "I have heard of Duke Xing's name for a long time. It's a blessing to see him today!"

"Young Master Chen, are you polite!" Su Dingfang returned the courtesy, with a faint smile on his face, "I don't know if the young master calls me and what should I say!"

"Duke Xing, although you have never been to the army, you have been very interested in military affairs since you were a child. Today I want to ask Duke Xing for some advice, and I hope you can give me some advice!" Chen Yi gave another gift and immediately gave him flattery. "The military achievements made by Duke Xing for our Tang Dynasty are no match for. He destroyed the Three Kingdoms one after another, and captured his master alive. He fought for three thousand miles in one sword. He once blocked millions of soldiers. The guard of Han, Huo, could not be comparable to Duke Xing! If he could get Duke Xing's teachings, he would be grateful!"

"Young Master Chen's words made me feel very ashamed!" Chen Yi's flattering words without any false taste touched Su Dingfang a little, and the Han Dynasty's Guard Huo was not comparable. This big block was a bit too big, making Su Dingfang like this, used to death in the battlefield like this, and was in the court, and had a little ups and downs, and even felt a sense of elegance. Chen Yi's words were quite sincere, and did not make Su Dingfang feel the false smell in it. The words praising him for his military achievements over the years were very helpful in his ears.

For Su Dingfang, only words that praise him for military merits, and not exaggerated, would make him feel comfortable. He would ignore the rest. Two days ago, Chen Yi presented a poem to him and praised his hero. Although there was no special expression at that time, there was still a stir in his heart. Who would not want to be remembered, remembered, or recited? The author of the poem said sincerely in front of him and asked him for advice. Su Dingfang could not say anything if he refused.

But he would not agree so easily. After hearing Chen Yi's words, a slight smile appeared on his face. He asked Chen Yi: "I wonder what Mr. Chen wants to ask someone about? The way to fight? Or... the art of war?"

"I am not trying to ask Duke Xing to teach military tactics! I am trying to ask Duke Xing about Qinghai!" Chen Yi stood up and looked at Su Dingfang and said, "Duke Xing, I am trying to ask you some advice on Qinghai!"

"What happened in Qinghai?" Su Dingfang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his heart moved, but he still asked Chen Yi with his expression unchanged: "I wonder why Mr. Chen is interested in the story in Qinghai?"

Chen Yi had just stayed with Wu Zetian. It is said that this young man was favored by Wu Zetian. Su Dingfang immediately linked the two talents together, thinking that it was Wu Zetian's meaning.

"The incident in Goryeo in Liaodong will be worry-free after this war. Now the biggest threat to our Tang Dynasty is from Qinghai, from the Tubo people. I have a lot of doubts in my heart. I think of Duke Xing's explanation and hope Duke Xing will give me any advice!" Chen Yi bowed again and said sincerely: "If Duke Xing is not available today, then I will come to your mansion to ask for advice in two days, and ask Duke Xing to agree!"

The incident in Liaodong is no longer worry-free. The biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty comes from Tubo. These words hit Chen Yi’s heart like a dusk drum and morning bell, making him unable to help but feel trembling. This is also his point of view. He has always believed that Goryeo is not the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty. Now the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty comes from the west and from the Tubo people on the plateau, but his point of view is not recognized by most people. Even veterans like Li Ji do not agree with this point of view. Most people turn their attention to the east and to Goryeo in Liaodong!

Although there have been wars between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty in recent years, basically the wars ended with the victory of the Tang Dynasty. In the eyes of many people in the court, the Tubo army was average in combat power, and they relied on the Tang Dynasty to survive. The threat to the Tang Dynasty was not as great as that of the Turks. However, Su Dingfang, who led his army to fight against the Tubo people many times, did not think so. He stubbornly believed that the Tubo people would definitely grow into the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, at least in the next few years or even decades. It was just that the view was not recognized by the court, and he was very depressed. Today, he heard a young man expressing a similar view to him, so how could he not be surprised?

"Well, even if Mr. Chen is interested, I will agree to you and find a place with you to have a good chat about Qinghai!" Master Su Ding agreed while stroking his beard.

He was also moved!

The military general who was promoted for military merits most looked down upon was the person who obtained a high position or reused by nepotism. In Su Dingfang's eyes, Chen Yi was a similar person, but because of the poem two days ago and the many shocking remarks that Chen Yi had heard of in Goryeo, Li Ji was eventually impressed. Chen Yi's words just now caused him to shock him, subconsciously thinking that Chen Yi would have amazing remarks on the Qinghai incident. In the end, Su Dingfang agreed to Chen Yi's request and spoke.

When you are in a depressed mood, it may be a good thing to be able to talk to someone.

In Qingfeng Tower, in a unique private room, Chen Yi and Su Dingfang sat opposite each other. There were some fruits, wine and vegetables in front of them, but there was nothing to do, and the topic of them had just begun.

"Young Master Chen, you just said that the Tubo people are the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty now. What do you say?" Su Dingfang held the wine glass and slurped a little, and asked slowly.

As soon as Su Dingfang started asking about this question, Chen Yi immediately became interested and put down the wine glass that was ready to toast. He said in a little impatiently: "Duke Xing, after years of attacks by our Tang army, the Turks are now out of power. Whether in the East or West Turks, at least they will not be able to pose a threat to our Tang Dynasty for a few years or even decades. At most, when our Tang Dynasty is unable to take care of it, they will run out to make trouble and grab some things, which will not pose a big threat. Even if they rebel, the garrisons of Anxi and Anbei can be pacified in time!"

"But the Tubo people are different. After they abandoned Zong Nongzan and became Zanpu, they worked hard to get many advanced technologies from our Tang Dynasty. The national strength increased rapidly and the troops were strong. In the past few years, they defeated Tuyuhun, who was supported by our Tang Dynasty. They drove Tuyuhun King Murong Nuo Hebo out of Qinghai. Most of the areas in Qinghai were occupied by the Tubo people, and the very good horse-grazing land fell into the hands of the Tubo people! From then on, it can be seen that the leaders of the Tubo people are not simple in mind and the combat power of the Tubo army is not bad!"

Chen Yi paused, and saw Su Dingfang on the opposite side looking at him with thoughtful look. He did not interrupt and immediately continued: "As far as I know, the Tubo people not only became enemies of our Tang Dynasty in Qinghai, but also attacked the Anxi Protectorate of our Tang Dynasty several times. They even joined forces with the Turks! Judging from many situations, the one who can threaten the safety of our Tang Dynasty is Tubo now in the northwest area!"

Seeing that Su Dingfang still had no words, Chen Yi had to add another sentence: "Tubo often invades our Shanzhou, Liangzhou, and Lanzhou areas over the years, and Anxi is often invaded by them. Judging from these situations, the biggest threat to our Tang Dynasty is not the Turks or the Goryeo, but the Tubo people! Because the Goryeo did not take the initiative to attack the borders of our Tang Dynasty!"

"Well, what you said makes sense!" Su Dingfang finally spoke, and smiled, signaling Chen Yi to continue talking!

"Thank you, Duke Xing, for not being blamed for talking nonsense!" Chen Yi looked at Su Dingfang, who was already curious about him with a strange light, and said with certainty: "But I also think that the Tubo people, like the Turks and the Goryeo people, are also clowns. In terms of national strength, whether it is Turks, Goryeo, or what we just mentioned, they cannot compete with our Tang Dynasty, and their national strength cannot withstand the consumption of years! Our Tang Dynasty has many ways to minimize the threat of the Tubo people!"

"Oh?! What can Mr. Chen do?" Su Dingfang was full of curiosity. He also believed that Chen Yi would definitely surprise him today!

"The land of Qinghai is guarded by a good general, and the land of Anxi is also entrusted with a strategic general to control the border. When the Tubo people invade, they will attack it hard, wait for the effort, and strengthen the actual rule of our Tang Dynasty in these places. Many years later, the Tubo people who have no foundation in these places will do nothing, and their national strength will be consumed in the competition with our Tang Dynasty, and it will eventually be lost!" Chen Yi said idly, "Now, there is Pei Xingjian, Pei Dadu Protector in Anxi, and the Tubo people cannot take advantage of it. Several invasions were defeated. Qinghai is guarded by Xing Guogong, and the Tubo people cannot shake the border of our Tang Dynasty. In this way, the attacks of the Tubo people cannot pose a great threat to our Tang Dynasty!"

Su Dingfang smiled faintly, "Young Master Chen is too optimistic. Qinghai's original Tuyuhun was originally under the leadership of our Tang Dynasty. However, a certain guard at Qinghai for many years. Although he had a slight victory in the fight with the Tubo people, he failed to help Tuyuhun restore the country and retake the land of Qinghai. The threat from the Tubo people still exists! This is not a good method, and it is very passive! No one knows what will happen after stalemate with the Tubo people for many years!"

"What Duke Xing said is very reasonable, passive defense is just a helpless way, but the court does not agree with the launch of a large-scale military campaign against the Tubo people. What the boy said just now should be a very effective method!" Chen Yi immediately agreed with Su Dingfang's words and said again: "The Tubo Plateau is a wild land. Most people believe that it is not very useful. The area of ​​Lusiecheng where the Tubo people live is thousands of miles away from Qinghai. According to the current situation, our army cannot go to the mainland of Tubo and annihilate its main force."

"But I still believe that the most important and effective way to deal with the Tubo people is to build a large army to destroy its main military force, so that it will no longer be able to pose a threat to our Tang Dynasty. According to my thoughts, the court should entrust a good general at the right time and launch a large army to attack Tubo. The first thing to do is to completely eliminate the Tubo military force in Qinghai and completely rob the control of Qinghai!"

"What did you say?" Chen Yi's last few words surprised Su Dingfang. He could not have thought that Chen Yi had just said that stalemate with the Tubo people could consume his strength and eventually drag down Tubo, but then he suggested that he should send a large army to completely eliminate the power of the Tubo people!

Is the viewpoint changing too quickly?
