God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

Not only can you avoid Wei Zheng, but you can also make meritorious deeds. It's a two-fold thing.

"Are you going too?" Li Shimin glanced at him and was moved, but he quickly denied it.

Now that several important ministers have gone out, if even Cheng Yaojin has passed, there will be no one guarding Chang'an.

Once there is something in the northeast, you will face the embarrassing situation where no one is available, which is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, there is no need to suspect people, and there is no doubt about employing people.

Needless to say, Li Jing's strength is definitely one of the top generals in the Tang Dynasty. If he can't defeat Tuyuhun, then it's useless for Cheng Yaojin to go.

He looked at Fang Xuanling on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Aiqing, Changsun Wuji and the others have been going to the Tubo border for so long, is there any news?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Changsun sent a letter back not long ago, saying that Wang Xiu had reached the hinterland of Tubo and captured Tubo Grand Minister Shang Nang and an army of [-] troops. The results of the battle have been remarkable." Fang Xuanling twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and said with a dry smile.

what?

Even the Prime Minister of Tubo was captured by Wang Xiu, this guy won't be able to hit the Tubo base camp in Luoxi City, but he even captured the second person of the opponent.

"Fuck, is this kid going to heaven?" Cheng Yaojin picked his nostrils and asked with envy.

This is really awesome. They even hit the Tubo mainland and even arrested their prime ministers. It's really cruel.

But that's right, this is the champion of the army.

"Has the Prime Minister of Tubo been arrested?"

Hearing his words, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned, and said in a deep voice, "How come no one reported such a big matter to me?"

He was a little dissatisfied, such a big news was not told to the emperor, it simply didn't take him seriously.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't say anything, but that this matter is really unbelievable. It is really hard to say this matter without verification, so it is still under investigation."

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's unbelievable. Didn't Wang Xiu break into Tubo a long time ago? Even if he captures Tubo, it won't be a problem."

"There is no problem with this matter, but there is news from the eldest grandson, there is something inside." Fang Xuanling smiled wryly.

"The inside story?"

"That's right. It is said that Wang Xiu seized Shang Nang and the 6000 troops and demanded 6 million ransom from Songtsan Gampo. Otherwise, he would directly kill Shang Nang and the [-] troops."

Fang Xuanling saw that everyone had strange faces, and said with a wry smile: "It is said that this is the truth about Tubo's dispatch of troops. I feel that this matter is of great importance. I still need to verify it before reporting to the emperor, so as not to embarrass the emperor."

What the hell!

Cheng Yaojin jumped up immediately, he was not sleepy at all, and lost his voice: "Really, 6000 million ransom, Wang Xiu is too dark, I didn't have him when I went to Wagang Village Ruthless!"

Good boy, this is a good hand at being a bandit, and the attack is too dark, and it will take 100 years to eat a wave.

"Cheng Yaojin!"

Hearing what he said, Li Shimin couldn't help but glared at him. This guy actually compared my son-in-law to a bandit.

But as Cheng Yaojin said, this kid is too dark.

Let alone Tubo, even he may not be able to take out the 6000 million coins. This is definitely killing people.

The good old man Gao Shilian looked confused, and exclaimed: "This is unbelievable, not to mention whether Wang Xiu called out such a price, the key is that Songtsan Gampo would not be stupid enough to give money."

"6000 million guan, this is simply an astronomical figure, Tubo really doesn't necessarily have so much money." Shen Buyi on the side smiled wryly.

"This matter is indeed extremely strange, and it's no wonder that Fang Xiang is suspicious. This is simply outrageous."

"If this is true, Wang Xiu is truly rich!"

"6000 million guan, which is equivalent to three years of my tax revenue in the Tang Dynasty, it is really scary!"

"Originally, this matter is unreliable, but if it happened to Wang Xiu, I think it fits his character."

"It's true. Few of this kid's enemies will end well. Even if Songtsan Gampo is the king of Tubo, this kid Wang Xiu might not give him face!"

Many ministers were talking about it, but their hearts were extremely weird, and they were frightened by Wang Xiu's audacity.

If this is true, then Wang Xiu has really made a fortune.

6000 million, a daunting statistic.

"This kid!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, if this kid really let him blackmail 6000 million yuan, it would be really unreasonable.

This is 6000 million guan, money that even an emperor like him would be jealous of, but this kid Wang Xiu got it.

He looked at Fang Xuanling, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Aiqing, since you went to confirm it, is there any news?"

"Not yet, but I have already sent someone to confirm with the eldest grandson, I believe there will be news soon." Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Li Junxian hurried in from the outside.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiu, the general manager of the Jiaozhou University, hastened for eight hundred miles!"

"Eight hundred miles in a hurry?"

Li Shimin's complexion changed drastically, and he actually spent [-] miles to rush. Could it be that the battle of Tubo has already failed?

He also didn't care about the 6000 million guan, and said in a deep voice: "Submit it quickly!"

"Yes!" Li Junxian didn't dare to neglect, and quickly handed it over.

Li Shimin opened it and looked at it, his complexion changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "What, Tubo is actually planning to marry the Western Turks. Is this going to jointly target me and the Tang Dynasty?"

After he saw the information inside, he didn't know what Wang Xiu meant.

The relationship between Tubo and Western Turks was not very good at first, and there was even a small friction. The two sides have always disliked each other.

Now that they suddenly want to get married, it's definitely tricky.

As Wang Xiu said, I'm afraid it's a joint plot against the Tang Dynasty, and they want to join forces to fight in.

If that's the case, then it's a big trouble.

Wang Xiu had reminded him before that Tubo seemed to intend to unite with other countries, but there was no movement all the time, making him think that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, it finally came, and a big guy came.

Chapter 737

Western Turkic is not a small country. At the beginning, Western Turkic had a connection with Datang, but it was cut off by Eastern Turkic.

Because of this, Li Shimin has a certain understanding of Western Turks. This is a powerful country that is not weaker than Tubo!

The marriage of these two countries is definitely the worst news for Datang.

"What, Tubo wants to marry Western Turks?"

Fang Xuanling and the others all changed their complexions drastically.

None of the people here are fools. The sudden marriage between the two parties is definitely not a whim, it is definitely a entanglement of interests, so a marriage is needed.

These two countries are both powerful countries, and the person who can unite them is probably Datang.

"Songtsan Gampo has always looked down on anyone, but now he suddenly allies with the Western Turks. I am afraid that he is really targeting me, Datang!"

Among the ministers, Ma Zhou, the youngest, couldn't help but said in a deep voice.

Since the war between Tubo and Wang Xiu broke out, he has done research on Tubo, and Songtsan Gampo is definitely not a kind person.

Such a person suddenly unites with others. If there is no trick in it, then there is a ghost.

"That's right, the Western Turks have always been fighting against a powerful country in the west and controlling the Silk Road. But Tubo is now developing towards the east and fighting with Wang Xiu. There is no reason for the two to be together."

"Unless there is a common point of interest, they will be brought together. Around here, the only thing that can tempt these two powerful countries is our Datang."

"My good fellow, you actually set your sights on us, you're looking for death."

"However, fortunately, the emperor sent Yuwen Shiji to Suzhou, so we are not completely defenseless. But just in case, I am afraid that we will increase our troops."

"Your majesty really anticipated the enemy's opportunity. If there was a problem in West Turkic early in the morning, he prepared troops there."

"That's right, the emperor is really the Son of Heaven, that's why he found the enemy's weakness in the first place, and sent troops to defend Liangzhou and Suzhou."

How can a group of sycophants manage so much, they just started to sycophant.

Seeing the stinking and shameless appearance of the crowd, a trace of contempt flashed in Shen Buyi's eyes, these guys are simply too immoral.

If it wasn't for my lord's reminder, the emperor would know a ghost.

After hearing what these people said, Li Shimin's face looked much better.

Just like what they said, fortunately, I sent Yuwen Shiji and Xue Wanche there earlier, so it is impossible for the Western Turks to come over all at once this time.

But here comes the problem, in such a big place, just the Yuwen scholars and that little force are really not necessarily able to withstand the opponent.

The opponent is Western Turkic, a real big country.

The existence of being able to stand up to the Eastern Turks would be at least hundreds of thousands of troops. Once the power of the whole country advances eastward, the Tang Dynasty will be very dangerous.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying in a deep voice: "Can you guys find a way to solve this problem?"

This problem cannot be eased.

"Your Majesty, there are only two options now, either to send envoys into the Western Turks and the Western Turks, or to send heavy troops to defend the Western Turks!"

Fang Xuanling looked at the silence of the crowd, sighed and stood up and said.

Everyone makes sense, these two are one of the current choices, but the first one is a bit dangerous, and the second one is more reliable.

"Now that the situation in Western Turks is unclear, I'm afraid it's a little unreliable to rush to Western Turks." Gao Shilian sighed.

If it is normal, this method may be the best method, after all, it is definitely cost-effective to avoid a war.

But there is also a problem. If it passes now, I don't know the details at all, and I don't know what kind of agreement Tubo and Western Turks have reached.

If one is not careful, it will become a sacrifice for the Western Turkic war, so the danger of going on an envoy is too great.

Then there is only one way, and that is to strengthen the defense against the Western Turks.

This method is good, but it is a bit difficult to deal with Datang's financial requirements. In this way, Datang is also fighting on two fronts.

If this is Wang Xiu's place, it is almost a three-sided battle. This is not a joke, and the consumption will be a terrifying figure.

"Yes, unfortunately the situation is unclear now."

Li Shimin thinks so, if the situation is clear now, he can send someone to negotiate a peace or negotiate.

But now there is no news, and they don't even know how far the cooperation between the two parties has reached. This is undoubtedly going to die.

"Your Majesty, now the war will consume a lot of money for our Tang Dynasty. I am willing to go to the Western Turks and negotiate with the other party!" At this time, an old minister stood up and said solemnly.

Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin shook his head resolutely, and said with a wry smile: "Yang Aiqing, how could I let you go to the Western Turks? If there is a mistake, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

The person who came out was called Yang Shidao, an old minister who defended against the Turks. He had fought against foreign races for most of his life, and it was time to enjoy his old age in peace.

If he died in Western Turkic, it would really be the court's fault, and even he himself would not be able to forgive himself.

To be honest, he really didn't want to fight this battle, because the consumption made him a little bit overwhelmed.

If it wasn't for Wang Xiu's subsidy some time ago, he would be eating dirt now, and the consumption in it is simply terrifying.

But just letting an old official die like this, Li Shimin still can't do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin immediately made up his mind, since the other party has come, let's fight.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Now that Wang Xiu has attracted Tubo's attention to one side, it's not impossible to fight this battle. We just need to restrain the Western Turks."

"Cheng Yaojin, don't you want to go to support the front line? This time, you and Li Daozong will go to support Yuwen Shiji. There can be no problems in Liangzhou and Suzhou!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was overjoyed, what the emperor said was true, Wang Xiu had attracted all the 40 troops from Tubo.

In this way, Datang's pressure is reduced by half, and it is not impossible to call at all.

At most, it is just facing a broken Tuyuhun, plus the Western Turks. Although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible to fight.

Especially Cheng Yaojin, who was about to laugh out loud, it was finally his turn in this battle.

"The minister takes orders!"

"My minister took orders..."

Li Daozong also stood up and said solemnly.

Li Shimin nodded, and said solemnly: "You two lovers, this battle must block the Western Turks in their lair, otherwise they will drive straight in and deal a devastating blow to the people of our Tang Dynasty!"
