"You guys are too rigid, and support doesn't mean you have to send troops to support them, but you can also support them mentally."

Li Shimin: “…”

"Or it is to support them in weapons. Now the Tuyuhun people must hate Tubo to the core, right?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Zheng said again: "Then give the Tuyuhun people weapons so that they can fight hard on the grassland! The more you fight, the better," he said.

After understanding it, Li Shimin smiled and said, "The fisherman gained profits when fighting against the snipe and clam, and this idea has hurt a little."

"There is no loss or loss, only benefits."

Cheng Chumo stood aside and listened in confusion. Although he couldn't understand what His Majesty and Li Zheng were saying, it seemed very powerful.

After hearing this, Li Shimin had a plan in his heart and asked again: "What are the thirty-six strategies you mentioned? Is it a military book?"

"No." Li Zheng immediately denied.

"Really not?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng suspiciously, always feeling that this kid kept half of his words.

"You were silent when I came to find you before, but why did you suddenly become so generous this time?"

Li Zheng sighed: "Actually, I am a good person."

“…”

"Let me say that, just think I am kind this time, mainly because I don't want the Tubo people to come one day. The censors in your court are not capable, so you won't bother me every day."

Come and bother him every day?

This is the first time someone dares to speak to themselves like this.

Cheng Chumo's face turned pale. Li Zheng dared to talk to His Majesty like this.

I always say that I am a melon, but now it seems that Li Zheng is more melon than me.

Cheng Chumo thought to himself, Li Zheng, please wait for the bad luck.

Li Shimin left with a dark face. Could it be that in Li Zheng's eyes, my ministers were all invincible!

I feel more and more regretful that I come to see Li Zheng this time.

Just as he watched Li Shimin leave, Cheng Chumo was stunned again, "Your Majesty is leaving like this."

"What about that? Do I still want to treat him to a meal?"

"No? Your Majesty didn't blame you."

Cheng Chumo observed Li Zheng suspiciously, "Can you really be Your Majesty's sworn brother?"

Anyone who can be brothers, but it would be a bit unlucky to be Li Shimin's brother.

Li Zheng continued to tinker with his own papermaking technique.

When Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he immediately summoned Qin Qiong and Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin took a look at the reports on Tubo in recent years.

Fang Xuanling came to Ganlu Palace, "Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin looked at the memorial and said, "Xuanling, how many troops do you think Tubo has now?"

Seeing Li Shimin say this, Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "It is rumored that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

Qin Qiong also came to Ganlu Palace, "Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin asked again: "Qin Qiong, I ask you, how about the Tubo people fighting?"

Qin Qiong also thought for a while and said, "Tubo often uses cavalry in wars. When fighting, war is no different from horse bandits, and there is no structure."

After taking out a few memorials, Li Shimin said: "Tubo seems to have been fighting in wars in recent years."

Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty, Songtsen Gampo wants to unify Tubo, and he naturally fought countless wars over the years."

"Tubo has been in civil war for many years and has been consuming troops. Do you think Tubo really has hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed with doubt, "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and this is what Lu Dongzan said in person."

Qin Qiong understood what Li Shimin meant and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Tubo does not have hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Qiong and said, "Duke Yiguo means Tubo is bluffing?"

Qin Qiong nodded, "If Tubo really had so many soldiers, Tuyuhun could not hold on now, let alone Tuyuhun, which was seriously injured in vitality, Tubo had not taken it down for a long time."

Fang Xuanling also understood after Qin Qiong said this.

If Tubo wants to take down the Hexi Corridor, he should take down the Hexi Corridor with great damage to Tuyuhun's vitality.

It would not be given the Tuyuhun envoy to come to the Tang Dynasty for help.

Lu Dongzan is bluffing people!

They had no such many soldiers and horses in Tubo at all.

After waking up the dreamer, Qin Qiong immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to Tuyuhun to investigate the news. You will naturally understand it by looking at the situation of the war."

Fang Xuanling also said: "I think there is a better way to explore the reality and reality."

...

The next day, Li Shimin summoned Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan was happy that His Majesty was finally willing to see him, but he did not summon the envoy of Tuyuhun.

After coming to Tai Chi Hall, Lu Dongzan saluted Li Shimin.

"Dear Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, our Tubo king is willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to manage Tuyuhun together."

Lu Dongzan finished speaking.

He glanced at Li Shimin's expression again.

The empty hall has no court officials, only a few guards.

Seeing Li Shimin's expressionless face, he said again: "Your Majesty, we Tubo are willing..."

"Stop!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted.

A loud shout echoed in the Tai Chi Hall.

Lu Dongzan stood with a look of panic.

Li Shimin stared at Lu Dongzan and said, "You dare to draw your sword and point at the King of Shu in Jingyang. Lu Dongzan is so brave!"

Lu Dongzan saluted in a panic, "Your Majesty, that's Li Zheng's rudeness first."

"Irregular?" Li Shimin sneered: "You draw your sword without saying anything. I want to ask you whether you Tubo wants to form an alliance or start a war!"

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to speak out, and he was still organizing his words in his mind, not knowing how to explain it.

King of Shu?

Why does it affect the King of Shu?

Could it be that the King of Shu was also in Jingyang that day?

Li Shimin slapped the table and shouted: "Come here! I will pass on my order. Liangzhou soldiers and horses advanced thirty miles into Tuyuhun. Any Tubo people who resisted will be wiped out and killed without any refusal."

Hearing this, when the negotiations were about to collapse, Lu Dongzan knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Your Majesty! We Tubo sincerely want to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin looked at Lu Dongzan coldly and said, "You point at my son with a knife, this is called sincerity!"

"It's a misunderstanding. My subordinates don't know that it's His Highness, the King of Shu!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly: "Go back to me and ask Songzan Gampo to come over. I want to see how much he has!"

After the words came to a quiet state of Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and left angrily.

Lu Dongzan stood in a daze, and a eunuch walked away and said, "Your Majesty's meaning is very clear. You are ready to start a war. Please go back."

Seeing that Lu Dongzan was in a daze, the eunuch smiled and said, "It's better to go to Jingyang to apologize and let His Highness the King of Shu and the Marquis of Jingyang County forgive your offense. There is still a turning point in this matter."

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan regained his energy and quickly left the palace and headed for Jingyang.

As soon as he arrived in Jingyang, Lu Dongzan bumped into Tuyuhun's messenger Fu Ni.

The two of them came to the entrance of Jingyang Village together and found Li Zheng who was changing the medicine for the wounded soldiers.

Lu Dongzan bowed and said to Li Zheng: "I was rude in my previous offense. I apologize to the Marquis of Jingyang County and His Highness the King of Shu."
