In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin retreated. He looked excited, paced back and forth, and laughed: "Taichong is so good. After Nangri Songtsan receives this gift, even if he borrows ten more courages, he will not dare to do it again." You have other ideas!"
Logically speaking, although Tubo is a small country, as the king, Nangri Songtsan must also be protected by dragon energy, and there are many tantric masters around him to protect him.
But Li Shimin expected that Nangri Songtsan still didn't dare to gamble!
This is the deterrent power of a top power.
"Haha, I'm really having a great time today. I'm so excited. Don't leave for a while and have a few more drinks with me!"
He patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
But the next moment, he saw that Li Daoxuan, who had been showing off his power just now, was shaking, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was a little pale.
"Taichong, what's wrong with you?"
Li Daoxuan showed a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, I just consumed too much mana. It doesn't matter. Just take it slow."
He sighed in his heart. Sure enough, with his current level of cultivation, it was still a bit too much to force Shifting Stars and Fighters to reach such a state. Fortunately, the Tibetan envoys moved quickly, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.
He estimated that if he wanted to use Shifting Stars to Change Fights without any scruples, he would at least need to be in the Yangshen realm!
Yangshen realm...
Li Daoxuan recalled the feeling when he asked the god to take over. The endless mana and the unparalleled power made him miss it very much.
More importantly, his current killer weapon, the super trump card Fantian Seal, requires at least Yang Shen cultivation level to activate.
If he enters the realm of Yang Shen, even if he is only in the early stage of Yang Shen, Li Daoxuan's strength will make an unprecedented leap. He will have Fantian Seal on his magic weapon, move stars and change battles on his magical power, and can also practice the great magical power of subduing dragons and tigers.
At that time, he could be said to have reached the sky in one step and stood at the pinnacle of human cultivation!
Even if Maha is resurrected, he is confident that he can kill him single-handedly!
Li Daoxuan secretly made up his mind to cultivate to the Yangshen realm as soon as possible and become a real strong man, not just a bluff like now.
Just when he was about to sit cross-legged and meditate for a while to restore his magic power, a soft, snowy, warm and smooth jade hand suddenly appeared in his hand.
He was slightly startled.
The next moment, an extremely pure magic power was sent to Li Daoxuan's body along that hand, nourishing his dry Dantian like spring rain.
The paleness on Li Daoxuan's face quickly receded and he gradually returned to normal.
He held the slender hand tightly, with a hint of surprise in his heart, and looked at the empress in blue.
This is the first time that the empress takes the initiative to hold her hand!
The empress in green didn't look at him, but turned her cheek. A few strands of blue hair were slightly floating, covering her lowered eyes.
She looked at the ground quietly, motionless, as if there was something on the ground that interested her.
When Li Shimin saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if he felt that he shouldn't be here, and felt awkward all over.
Fortunately, Gao Quan's voice broke the embarrassment in time.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the army!"
Gao Quan came over and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is really clever. General Li Jing has successfully captured Evil Sun Ridge. What a great victory!"
A smile appeared in Li Shimin's eyes, and at the same time, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Daoxuan was a little confused and said: "Your Majesty, at the banquet just now, wasn't it already..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused.
With Li Daoxuan's intelligence, he had already figured out the reason.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Taichong, the message from the palace just now is false. How can there be such a coincidence in this world? The Tubo envoy wanted to threaten me by cooperating with the Turks to send troops, but the news of the pharmacist's victory happened to be news?"
"Soldiers never tire of deception. This is me lying to them. When Maha first entered Chang'an, I had already sent a message to the pharmacist, ordering him to wait for an opportunity to attack Evil Yang Ridge, but no news was sent back."
Li Daoxuan looked at him deeply and said, "Your Majesty, are you really not worried that General Li Jing will lose?"
Although Li Shimin could intimidate the Tibetan envoys by doing this, he would have to bear great risks. If Li Jing did not win later, then what happened in the palace today would definitely become a laughing stock.
Li Shimin smiled casually and said, "I believe in the pharmacist."
Li Daoxuan secretly admired him. No wonder talented people like Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, and Wei Zheng would work wholeheartedly for Li Shimin and remain loyal throughout their lives.
You must know that Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and Wei Zheng were all Li Shimin's opponents, but he was able to disregard past suspicions, even entrust them with important tasks, and use them without trust. This kind of trust will undoubtedly make people mad.
When Li Yuan was preparing to rebel, Li Jing noticed in advance and chose to inform the Sui Dynasty, so he was almost killed by Li Yuan.
Later, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he did not help Li Shimin. Instead, he actively requested to lead troops at the border, choosing not to help either.
Li Dao
It can only be said that Li Shimin has a keen eye for recognizing heroes. In history, in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jing took command and went on an expedition. In just three months, he destroyed the arrogant Eastern Turks and opened up a thousand miles of territory, which shocked the world!
Later, in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun invaded. It was located on a plateau and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was Li Jing who took charge of the expedition. Li Jing, who was sixty-five years old, was still tough. He led his army to attack thousands of miles, riding on the plateau with only four soldiers. In a matter of months, Tuyuhun destroyed the country again!
His achievements are so brilliant that he is worthy of being the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, the God of War who can destroy a country!
It was a pity that in the 18th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo. The seventy-five-year-old Li Jing requested to go with him, but Li Shimin pitied him because he was too old and could not bear the fatigue of the long distance, so he rejected his request.
Otherwise, the Battle of Liaodong may not be a success.
"Gao Quan, send a message to the pharmacist and ask him to continue training his troops. Before autumn, he must train another 10,000 elite cavalry!"
After a pause, Li Shimin took out the relic of Evil Buddha Maha and handed it to Gao Quan. He said with a smile: "Send someone to go to the Turks and give this relic to Jieli Khan."
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised and said: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Turks will become angry and send an army south?"
He knew that Li Shimin did not want to start a full-scale war yet, but needed to continue to accumulate strength.
Li Shimin smiled and said confidently: "Taichong, do you know why I ordered the pharmacist to attack Evil Yang Ridge?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head. He definitely had no professional understanding of military affairs.
"Because I know the Turks, every time they go south to plunder our Tang Dynasty, it is mostly in the autumn, when the water and grass wither, and it is difficult to graze cattle and sheep. Therefore, they want to go south to rob our Tang Dynasty's autumn harvest grain to prepare for the cold winter."
"The terrain of Evil Yang Ridge is steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is located where the Turks must pass when heading south. Only by winning this place can we, the Tang Dynasty, develop safely."
"In addition, in the face of greedy enemies like the Turks, the weaker we are, the more rampant they will be. If we want to develop steadily, we must find opportunities to show our swords and let them know that the Tang Dynasty is not without the courage to fight to the end!"
Li Daoxuan blurted out: "If you hit him with one punch, you won't get hundreds of punches?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and praised: "That's exactly it!"
"After this battle, not only the Eastern Turks, but also the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Tubo and other countries will definitely respect us, the Tang Dynasty, and will never dare to look down upon us again!"
"But Jieli Khan bullies the weak and fears the strong, and lacks courage. When he sees Maha's relic, he will definitely be frightened. He will never dare to start a war with the Tang Dynasty again in a short time!"
Li Shimin sighed: "In this way, I can safely implement the plan that I have been preparing for many years."
Li Daoxuan asked: "What's the plan?"
Li Shimin looked at him deeply and spoke loudly.
"Hidden Dragon!"
