After Li Chengqian made the arrangements, the messenger quickly came to Chang'an City with the intention of Songtsan cadres to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin.
After receiving the news from Li Chengqian, Li Shimin immediately summoned all the dignitaries that Li Chengqian could think of, and his close friends, civil and military, began to discuss Tubo affairs.
"Since the leader of the Tubo Kingdom intends to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, we will discuss it and see if there is any safe way to ensure long-term peace and stability in Tubo, and whether it is possible for Tubo to surrender and then rebel again."
Li Shimin raised a question, and the next headache was for many princes and ministers.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, worthy of being Li Shimin's think tank. No one could convince anyone, and the issue was in a state of anxiety for a while.
In Dunhuang City, Songtsan cadres accompanied Li Chengqian to wander around Dunhuang City. They couldn't help but cheered as they looked at the city where Tubo, Tang Dynasty, Western Regions and other unique cultures merged.
"Your Highness, this is so interesting!"
Songtsan cadre pointed to a food stall there and said, this food stall really combines food and performance...
After Cadre Songtsan said his words, Li Chengqian looked at him standing next to him. Cadre Songtsan, who was several years younger than him, couldn't help but laugh.
This is what a child should look like. Although I was similar to him at this age, I already had a master at that time.
But when he thought of his master, Li Chengqian clapped his hands instantly.
"It's bad, I forgot something important."
This time, Songtsen cadre was shocked again.
"Has His Highness the Crown Prince forgotten something? Do you need to talk to Wei Chen? Do you want to talk to me?
If you need Wei Chen, just say so, Wei Chen will definitely do a good job."
Songtsan cadre accompanied Li Chengqian, and he seemed to be the number one dog-legger. Now he also regarded himself as a minor minister. He had always been happy to be a Tang Dynasty man. Isn't this situation the right time for him to show off?
But as soon as Cadre Songzan said it, Li Chengqian shook his head again.
"This matter involves another prince of our Tang Dynasty who cannot let you serve, but you don't have to worry. As long as your father agrees to merge you into our Tang Dynasty, he will definitely give you different rewards."
Songtsan cadre smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, I'll wait."
While Songtsan cadres and Li Chengqian were chatting away, Xue Li's eldest son, Sun Chongchumo, Yuchi Baolin and others who were following behind them were a bit speechless.
"Now we are in harmony? But why do I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince has the potential to be a child king?"
Changsun Chong spoke without any scruples and directly expressed his senses, while Xue Li and Cheng Chumo nodded hurriedly.
But Yuchi Baolin waved his hand, "You said that to His Highness, am I helping His Highness to fix you, or am I to fix you?"
Well?
What Yuchi Baolin said this time made Changsun Chong stunned.
"you've changed."
Yuchi Baolin looked at Changsun Chong who said he had changed and couldn't help laughing.
"Three days after separation, you should look at me with admiration. Isn't it normal that I have changed?"
This statement does make sense.
No one in front of them expected that Yuchi Baolin, who had always been sluggish and relied on others' reminders to do what he wanted to do, would be the first to figure it out in the end.
But look at me among all these people
I'm looking at you, trying to figure out if there's anything else they've missed, or if there's any key issue they've overlooked. Otherwise, why would Yuchi Baolin suddenly become enlightened?
However, although everyone was not very clear about it, they still did whatever they should do next to Yuchi Baolin.
But you can't ignore your identity enough to lose your identity. Yuchi Baolin has enlightened, and other people should also enlighten.
But just when they were looking at each other, competing with each other to perform well and strive for the second enlightenment, suddenly Li Zhong rushed over on a war horse from all the way.
Anyone looking at this anxious look would think something was wrong.
Li Chengxian and Songtsan cadres looked at Li Zhong who rushed over anxiously with different expressions.
Songtsan cadres were gearing up, "What's going on? Are there still people who dare not open their eyes and dare to cause trouble for us?"
But as soon as Cadre Songtsan finished speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head.
“Whether it’s someone who’s coming to trouble us or not, we must first ask what’s going on before we can make the right decision.”
After Li Zhong came to Li Chengqian, he immediately got off his horse.
"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing Li Zhong riding a war horse in a hurry, although Li Chengqian was a little surprised, his face still looked calm.
Changsun Chong and others couldn't help but give Li Chengqian a thumbs-up sign.
"Being calm in every situation is the demeanor of a general."
And Songtsan cadres looked at Li Chengqian who was calm and untroubled.
"This is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. No matter when he is favored or humiliated, he can deal with it calmly. I don't have such ability, but I am not bad now.
, As long as I, Tubo, enter the Tang Dynasty sincerely, there won't be any changes in the future, right? "
Cadre Songtsan thought so and felt proud, while Li Zhong reported that Li Chengqian saw that Li Chengqian had nothing to say for a moment, and started talking again directly on the spot.
"Your Highness, General Su Dingfang Su has led troops outside Dunhuang City. I wonder what His Highness will do?"
"Yeah?"
Li Chengqian was happy now. "General Su is here, good! That's great."
Li Chengqian was very happy.
This is an incredible general. His father and other generals who once killed him are nowhere to be found. They finally defeated him. Fortunately, Su Dingfang did not have any accidents and now he has come to the army of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not be able to defeat him. What a waste it must be?
If one of the countless good generals in the Tang Dynasty was wasted, it would always be uncomfortable to say it, although the Tang Dynasty really has no shortage of good generals.
"Now that General Su is here, our plan can continue."
As soon as they heard that another general was coming with troops, Songtsen officials couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Look, this Tang army is the elite. This is what the Tang Dynasty should be like. The country is rich and the army is strong. They can go wherever they want. No one can stop them from going where they want to go.
I used to have a dream to do something like this, but after being taught a lesson, I couldn't do it anymore and put away my thoughts. But now I have another opportunity. Of course, this opportunity is that I am Tang Jun. "
But when Cadre Songtsan said this, Li Chengqian looked at the people following him and waved.
"Xue Li."
Although
Not knowing what Li Chengqian meant, he still hurried forward.
"His Royal Highness, you don't know what to order?"
Seeing Xue Li coming over, Li Chengqian was a little confused.
"Which of you should be arranged for this matter?"
When Li Chengqian was confused, he became even more confused. The generals in front of him were very curious.
"What's going on? What does this mean? Why should any of us go? What happened?"
Seeing everyone looking confused, Li Chengqian looked at Xue Li, then at Changsun Chong, Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chumo and others, as well as the generals behind them.
"I'm really confused, what should I do?"
Li Chengqian once again expressed his confusion, and the person in front of him was once again confused.
"What the hell is going on?"
Just when everyone was wondering what was going on and whether there was something they had forgotten, Li Chengqian finally spoke.
"Everyone, do you still remember the piece of news that Zhao Dong once said?"
When Zhao Dong was mentioned, Zhao Dong came from behind to the front in an instant.
Except for Xue Li, whose official position is higher than mine, aren't those others on the same level as myself?
Zhao Dong took another step forward and came to their side without any problem. After Zhao Dong appeared, Li Chengqian looked at him.
"It's time to verify the news you brought Zhao Dong."
After Li Chengqian said these words, Zhao Dong was instantly fascinated.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful. If I am willing, I can lead my men to search for traces of King Anbei on the grassland."
When Zhao Dong said this, everyone suddenly realized.
"Yes, yes, they once got a message,
It is possible that King Anbei is alive, although it is just a guess, but what if there is no accident? "
When it came to searching for King Anbei on the grassland, Xue Li was the first to jump up.
"Your Highness, the general is willing to go. The general knows that the number of people led by the Art of War does not need to be too many. Being light and simple will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
As soon as Xue Li finished speaking, Changsun Chong, Yuchi Baolin, and Cheng Chumo became one in a rare way.
"No, you are the general in charge of the Tiance Guard. You must stay with His Highness the Crown Prince and advise His Highness the Crown Prince at all times. How can you leave so easily? Let's go."
After Chang Sun Chong finished speaking, Cheng Chumo spoke hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go."
Yuchi Baolin also said, "How about I go?"
But looking at them talking to each other, Li Chengqian waved his hand.
"Okay, there's no need to fight. Xue Li, you are the commander of the Tiance Guard regiment and the current general in charge. You cannot leave."
When Li Chengqian said a word, Xue Li lowered his head instantly.
"I will finally obey His Highness the Crown Prince."
Just as Changsun Chong was about to celebrate, Li Geng glared at him.
"Don't gloat."
"What's wrong? You won't let me go either?"
Changsun Chong looked at Li Chengqian in confusion, "But among them, I am the only one who has ever gone out alone to look for someone!"
As Chang Sun Chong said this, everyone also remembered that the last time they lost Sili against the Turks, it was indeed Chang Sun Chong who went out to ask for help.
Although I thought he was killed.
Thinking of what Chang Sun Chong had done, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin's mood to compete with each other also subsided.
Changsun Chong seemed to be a little concerned about this matter.
They have more say than we do.
After the two of them recognized Changsun Chong's ability, Changsun Chong felt proud.
"I'll just tell you, let me go."
As soon as Changsun Chong finished speaking, Li Chengqian finally made his decision.
"Okay, the eldest grandson is coming for you, but I don't worry about you alone. If I let Zhao Dong follow you, you two will go to the grassland with your troops and horses, and you must find traces of the master no matter what."
But when it came to asking the two of them to bring their own troops, this would take away nearly a thousand people from Tiance Guard. Li Chengqian was really courageous, but Xue Li looked unenthusiastic.
"His Royal Highness, are there too many people out?"
"Is it a lot? Not much. I think it's okay to have more than a thousand people, right? If there are too few people, wouldn't it be beautiful if we encounter a Turkic tribe and be taken over in one fell swoop?"
"That's true. Actually, there is another way."
Xue Li just complimented Li Chengqian and then raised objections, which made Li Chengqian very curious.
"Xue Li, what suggestions do you have?"
"Since General Su is here, why not leave some of the Tiance guards and let them send out some of the cavalry?
They have always been on the border and are familiar with the Turks. For the safety of His Highness, the Crown Prince asks for his warning. "
