From the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin didn't want Zhao Chen to go to Songzhou again.
But he always felt uneasy about sending others.
Moreover, because of the rumors, he sent Li Chengqian to Chen and Qianzhou to provide disaster relief.
If Zhao Chen still stayed in Wannian County, what would Li Chengqian think?
Turmoil in the court is not a good thing.
Let both of them leave Chang'an, and the officials in the DPRK will definitely not be able to figure out their own attitudes.
This is already very good.
Now Li Shimin's idea is that as long as it can be delayed for a while, it will be delayed for a while.
Hearing the eunuch's words, Li Shimin was instinctively stunned.
How long had Zhao Chen been there before something like this happened?
The Tubo cavalry had just attacked the Tang merchants in Hushi Town, but when they turned around, Zhao Chen lured the enemy deeper.
Moreover, he also killed 300 Tibetan cavalry, captured 700 people, and 800 horses.
Although this record is not too surprising, Zhao Chen has never led troops to fight in a battle.
Thank God that nothing happened to him.
Kill the enemy...forget it.
The eunuch sent the battle report to the emperor, and Queen Changsun just happened to bring soup.
"Mr. Guanyin, we have sent a battle report from Songzhou. That boy Zhao Chen has only been here for a short time, and he captured the Tibetan cavalry that attacked my Tang Dynasty merchant."
"Killed 300 enemies and captured 700 enemies. This boy is as handsome as I was back then." Li Shimin read the battle report and handed it to Queen Changsun.
He held the soup brought by Queen Changsun in his hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Li Shimin is really happy now.
There were no major events in the Tang Dynasty, and no one in the court could criticize him.
Apart from being tired every day, I am also happy.
"Zhao Chen is a very courageous kid. He faced off against a thousand Tubo cavalry. Isn't he afraid that the Tubo cavalry will attack him directly?" Empress Changsun showed a look of fear on her face after reading the battle report.
If that Tubo Xiaoqian always had the mentality of killing Zhao Chen with one blow, he would not pay attention to what Zhao Chen said.
Instead, he directly attacked Zhao Chen.
So is Zhao Chen still alive?
Thinking about it, Empress Changsun was filled with fear.
Li Shimin smiled, he felt that Zhao Chen had considered everything comprehensively.
"Guanyin, given the current situation in Tubo, it is definitely more worthwhile to capture Zhao Chen alive than to kill him."
"Didn't I say it above? When the Tubo Chief Qian heard that Zhao Chen was going to come up with the blueprint for the sky-shattering cannon, he naturally wouldn't think of killing Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen, this kid, has a good understanding of people's hearts."
"If I hadn't known that he was only seventeen years old, I would have thought that he was an old guy with insight into people's hearts!" Li Shimin said slowly, with a sigh on his face.
Tubo did not dare to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and did not even dare to send troops to confront Niu Jinda's border troops.
It's because of the existence of this sky-blasting cannon.
This kind of terrible thing is enough to make the liver and gallbladder of Tubo burst into pieces.
Li Shimin didn't need to think too much about Songtsen Gampo's desire for this sky-blasting cannon.
If Zhao Chen said that he could offer the sky-shattering cannon blueprint, no matter how determined he was, he would not be tempted.
What's more, it's just a little Tubo general.
"I don't know how many things that child went through when he was a child to become like this. I just want him to be happy." Empress Changsun said quietly.
Her thoughts were naturally different from the emperor's.
Li Shimin didn't think much about it. He just smiled, pointed at the two strange places in the battle report, and said to Queen Changsun: "Guanyin, look at these two strange places. What honorary citizens of the Tang Dynasty are these?
What, also, the battle report said that Zhao Chen killed a Tibetan man with one slap, this..."
Li Shimin was confused.
Honorary Citizen of the Tang Dynasty, he can guarantee that this is definitely the first time he has heard this thing.
Also, isn't Zhao Chen's body always very weak?
Isn’t it a joke to kill a Tibetan man with one slap?
But the battle report from Songzhou is definitely not false.
But Zhao Chen...
"This honorary citizen of the Tang Dynasty is probably Zhao Chen who wants to win over the Tubo people. As for his slap, I am also..."
"Hehe, I knew that sending Zhao Chen to Songzhou would definitely have a great effect."
"I want to know right now what kind of expression that little guy Songtsen Gampo has now." Li Shimin chuckled, with a look of expectation on his face.
…
When Songtsen Gampo received the news from the border, he was stunned on the spot.
He had no idea what was going on in the town of Hushi.
The five small Tibetan cavalry troops he sent out were all lost there.
Not a man or a horse escaped.
The Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty, the private army of the Tang emperor, almost never left the elite cavalry troops beside the emperor.
One day it will appear here.
Is this Li Shimin going to launch a war against Tibet?
Otherwise, why would the Xuanjia Army appear here?
Songtsen Gampo was silent for a long time before he remembered the rumors he had spread in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Chen is the son of the emperor and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for this explanation, how could Zhao Chen be qualified to lead the Xuanjia Army here.
"Lord Zanpu, our situation is becoming more and more difficult now. The sudden appearance of the Xuanjia Army has made many tribal leaders feel frightened." Tubo Dalun stood below and said to Songtsen Gampo.
Like Songtsen Gampo, many tribal leaders in Tubo were thinking that the Tang Dynasty even sent out the Xuanjia Army.
This will definitely lead to a decisive battle with Tibet.
If it were before, they would not be afraid of Tibet.
Even if they can't defeat them, they still have the advantage of geographical location.
But now, there are serious problems within Tubo.
Last winter, they originally wanted to send troops to rob Datang of supplies to make up for their own lack of resources.
But who knew that in the end, not only did we not get anything, but we also lost nearly 20,000 people.
After wasting time and money, the people's own food rations were not enough.
Datang opened a mutual market, but it turned out that it was plotting against them.
The more mutual the market is now, the more uncomfortable it will be for them.
Today's Tubo is already on the verge of collapse.
Without enough food, the geographical location will become a natural barrier to their death.
By then, without Datang's attack, they themselves would be unable to bear it.
"Afraid? Then Zhao Chen's identity must be extraordinary. Li Shimin actually came to Xuanjia Army and handed it over to him."
"If the order goes down, anyone who can kill Zhao Chen will be enshrined by our Tubo people forever and have a golden statue in the temple." Songtsen Gampo said coldly.
Songtsen Gampo knew that the crux of the matter lay with Zhao Chen.
As long as Zhao Chen dies, many things can be solved.
Moreover, with Li Shimin's attitude towards Zhao Chen, killing Zhao Chen is undoubtedly the most advantageous means of revenge.
"What do you mean, Lord Zanpu, to arrange for someone to assassinate Zhao Chen?" Tubo Dalun asked again.
"I heard that Zhao Chen wants us Tubo people to become honorary citizens of the Tang Dynasty?" Songtsen Gampo did not answer Tubo Dalun's words, but asked about honorary citizens of the Tang Dynasty.??
