"It seems that all the troops on the Gaochang front line have been defeated!" Li Jing said in a low tone, with concern on his brows.
The troops on the front line of Gaochang were completely defeated, and they thought that the Tibetan army was about to attack the capital of Gaochang.
The Tibetan army came with the power of victory, and the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom must be frightened. It is hard to guarantee that no one will think of opening the city gate and surrendering to Tibet.
This is fatal!
"Your Majesty, would you like to first send an order to all the soldiers to guard the city gate carefully at night, not only to prevent the Tibetan army from attacking the city, but also to prevent people in the city from surrendering?" Niu Jinda asked Li Shimin.
"Send the order, anyone who goes out on the street privately at night will be killed without mercy!"
"Anyone who gathers secretly will be killed without mercy!" Li Shimin's decision was more ruthless than Niu Jinda thought.
Not only were curfews imposed, but even gatherings of people were punishable by death.
But this can ensure the safety of the city to the greatest extent.
"On the city tower is Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty!" The cavalry outside the city stopped outside the range of bow and arrow attacks and shouted to Li Shimin on the city tower.
Li Shimin frowned, and Wei Zheng, who was beside him, took a step forward: "How dare you call me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, by his first name even when you are young?"
"Tell Songtsen Gampo that if you don't want to die, you must surrender immediately, otherwise our Tang soldiers will surely destroy the entire plateau!"
Naturally, the Tubo cavalry would not take Wei Zheng's words to heart.
I saw the cavalry bringing a blood-red war horse from behind. Everyone on the tower saw that it was the bloody horse that Zhao Chen had been riding.
Everyone's expressions were gloomy.
"Our Majesty has said that if Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty does not know what is good for him and refuses to retreat, then our Majesty will definitely kill him."
"It's like killing this sweaty horse!" the cavalryman said, stabbing the sweaty horse's neck with a knife in front of everyone on the tower.
Blood splattered, the sweaty horse let out a low cry, fell to the ground, and made no sound.
"How outrageous!" Li Shimin was furious. He grabbed a hard bow from the hands of the soldiers on the side, bent the bow and set an arrow, and flew towards the cavalry.
The distance was too far, and the arrow hit the ground two meters in front of the cavalry.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"It is said that the young emperor of the Tang Dynasty could shoot a three-stone bow. Unexpectedly, he was actually too old."
"Li Shimin, do you want me to come closer?" The Tubo cavalry was very arrogant and looked at Li Shimin on the tower with a mocking look on his face.
Li Shimin was so angry that he immediately rushed down from the tower and killed the Tubo cavalry with his own hands, but was held tightly by Wei Zheng and others.

They all knew that even if Li Shimin left the city now, the Tubo cavalry would flee immediately.
Songtsan Gampo sent people to kill Zhao Chen's horse in front of them, which was clearly to kill their hearts.
Wei Zheng looked at the dead bloody horse under the tower with helplessness in his eyes.
Wei Zheng had seen that horse too many times. Every time Zhao Chen went out, he would take this bloody horse with him.
Every time, the sweaty horse would bring Zhao Chen back safely.
But this time, Zhao Chen did not come back, and even Han Xue Ma was killed by the Tubo cavalry on the spot in front of them.
Niu Jinda punched the city bricks hard, angry at his own incompetence.
…
"Prime Minister, Li Shimin is indeed already in the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, and his subordinates killed Zhao Chen's mount in front of him."
"Li Shimin bent his bow and arrow in anger, trying to kill his subordinate, but it was a pity that he was of no use and did not even touch his subordinate's clothes." At night, the Tubo cavalry reported back to Luo Xi.
&nb Since Lu Dongtsan’s death, Luo Xi seems to be the first person under Songtsen Gampo.
He has an army of hundreds of thousands under his control alone.
This made Losey couldn't help but feel a little elated.
So today he thought of a more vicious method to let Li Shimin see with his own eyes that his own people killed Zhao Chen's mount.
Luo Xi wanted Li Shimin to know how powerful he was, and at the same time completely angered Li Shimin.
People who are angry have no brains.
He is preparing to attack the city tomorrow, and Li Shimin is thinking about today's events. Can he still remain calm?
"Well done, go and collect the reward." Luo Xi nodded with a smile, feeling somewhat complacent for a moment.
The Tubo cavalry left with excitement in their eyes.
Luo Xi walked out of the camp and looked in the direction of the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, with a look of anticipation on his face.
He also felt as if he was dreaming.
First, he killed Zhao Chen, and now he led an army of hundreds of thousands, preparing for a decisive battle with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty in the capital of Gaochang.
Luo Xi thought to himself that if he really captured or killed the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, his prestige in Tubo would definitely be raised to an extreme.
By then, even Songtsan Gampo may not be able to suppress himself.
At that time, could I unify Tubo? No, I could unify the three countries of Tubo, Gaochang and Datang.
Without Zhao Chen and Li Shimin, how could Datang be his opponent?
The more Luo Xi thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She slowly opened her arms, as if embracing the world that was about to come to her.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has sent an order to be careful of enemy troops attacking the camp at any time, especially the three thousand Xuanjia troops around Li Shimin, who are the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty told the Prime Minister not to be careless!" Luo Xi was saying.
Immersed in the fantasy of the future, the leader will come behind me to convey Songtsen Gampo's orders.
"I know!" Losey said disapprovingly.
Three thousand Xuanjia troops?
No matter how powerful he is, he cannot be a match for the 130,000 men under his command.
Forget it if the Xuanjia Army doesn't come. If they dare to come, I will let them have no return.
Didn't Datang boast that Zhao Chen was so powerful, and now he still died in his own hands?
Even his mount was killed by his own people in front of Li Shimin!
A mere Xuanjia army robbed the camp?
joke!
But he didn't care, Luo Xi didn't dare to make any mistakes at this time, and he also made people take precautions.
Just in case.
There was nothing to say all night, but early the next morning, a mighty Tibetan army appeared outside the city of Gaochang.
Luo Xi is so tall and majestic.
Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were getting ready to go on the city tower, Luo Xi waved his hand disdainfully: "Shout to them and tell Li Shimin that those who know the situation will open the city gate immediately, otherwise when the Prime Minister breaks through the city gate, he will kill them one by one!
"
"People on the city tower, listen, our Prime Minister has said, immediately open the city gate and surrender, otherwise we will break the city gate and you will be killed!" Several soldiers took twenty steps forward and shouted toward the city gate.
shouted.
Li Shimin had a sullen face, naturally he didn't care about Luo Xi's threat.
But he knew that it was the person in front who caused Zhao Chen's accident!
"It is my order that anyone who can personally capture Luo Xi, the Prime Minister of Tubo, regardless of rank or origin, will be crowned king." Li Shimin said coldly.
Become king?
When everyone heard Li Shimin's order, their expressions changed.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for someone with a different surname to be crowned king.
And the emperor just sent a direct order to seize Luo Xi and make him king!
