Chapter 1600: Will Losey sit still and wait for death?
Songtsan cadre camp.
The generals under Luo Xi's command have arrived here, and Hou Junji is standing next to Songtsen cadre, quietly listening to the general in front of him telling the news that Zhao Chen is still alive.
Hou Junji closed his eyes and squeezed his hands together unconsciously.
He told Songtsan cadres very early that Zhao Chen would not die as easily as they thought.
Songtsen Gampo still didn't believe it, but now it's better. Zhao Chen is indeed still alive, and he also burned down the trebuchets of their army.
This means that they now have no possibility of taking the initiative to attack.
We must always be prepared for counterattacks by the Tang army.
Originally, as long as they captured the capital of Gaochang, they would have the basis to attack the territory of Datang at any time.
But now?
Hou Junji did not blame Songtsan Gampo, but he blamed Luo Xi for being eager to take credit and hiding the news that Zhao Chen was still alive.
I also blame myself for being careless, as I really thought Zhao Chen died under that cliff.
"Zhao Chen is still alive?"
"Didn't Luo Xi promise me that Zhao Chen is dead?"
"Now you tell me that Zhao Chen is still alive?"
"What on earth does Luo Xi want to do?" Songtsen Gampo was furious and immediately overturned the table in front of him.
"Your Majesty, we really saw Zhao Chen fall on the cliff with our own eyes, and his whole body was shattered."
"Now he suddenly came back to life. General Luo Xi welcomed Zhao Chen as a substitute, so he didn't really die."
"All of us were deceived by Zhao Chen!"
"Cheated?"
"Now you can just lie and cover up the matter?"
"If you ask Luo Xi to come here in person, what do you think I will do to deal with him?" Cadre Songtsan was still furious, completely unaware of the possible consequences of this matter.
"Your Majesty, General Luo Xi is still in command of the army and is confronting the Tang army. Wouldn't it be bad to have General Luo Xi come over at this time?"
"Not good, you go back and tell him, if he doesn't come over, I will send people to kill him!" Songtsen Gampo said angrily.
Luo Xi deceived himself, and now he didn't even bother to explain to himself in person. Is it Songtsen Gampo who is in charge of Tubo, or Luo Xi?
The general's expression changed slightly and he was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard Hou Junji on the side say: "General, wait a moment!"
The general was stopped by Hou Junji and turned around.
"Your Majesty, General Luo Xi was also deceived by Zhao Chen, and he didn't do it on purpose."
"And now is the time to employ people, so let's stop this matter!"
"That's it?"
"Your Majesty!" Songtsen Gampo felt that Hou Junji's words were unreasonable and wanted to stop him, but Hou Junji interrupted him first.
"I also ask the general to go back and tell General Luo Xi that your Majesty is not prepared to pursue Zhao Chen's matter. The capital of Gaochang also asks General Luo Xi to do his best to capture it."
"As long as the capital city of Gaochang is captured, General Luo Xi will still be my biggest contributor to Tibet." Hou Junji looked at Luo Xi's generals and said with a smile.
"We must convey General Hou's intention," the general said, cupping his hands.
"Why did you stop me just now? Luo Xi lied to me and said that Zhao Chen was dead. Now that Zhao Chen is still alive, he deserves to die!" As soon as the general left, Cadre Songtsan could no longer control the anger in his heart.
Thinking that Luo Xi had deceived him about Zhao Chen, Songtsen Gampo immediately thought of cutting Luo Xi alive.
But Hou Junji had stopped him just now.
&nbs sp; Is it possible that Hou Junji and Luo Xi are getting closer?
"Your Majesty wants to kill Luo Xi?" Hou Junji looked at Songtsan cadre with a smile.
"Is it possible that I shouldn't kill him?" Cadre Songtsen looked unhappy.
"Of course you shouldn't kill him. Your Majesty, not only can't you kill him, you have to comfort him and tell him that you are not pursuing Zhao Chen's matter at all, and you want to give him more rewards." Hou Junji continued.
Songtsan Gampo frowned tightly. He felt that Hou Junji must have had an affair with Luo Xi, otherwise how could he say such strange words.
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that Luo Xi currently has an army of 130,000 people. How many people are there with your Majesty?"
"Once His Majesty wants to kill Luo Xi, will Luo Xi sit still and wait for death?"
"Can these people around His Majesty be able to stop a 130,000-strong army?"
"If your Majesty thinks it is possible, you can send people to kill Luo Xi now. If not, please be patient." Hou Junji said slowly.
Cadre Songtsan's expression changed drastically. He had just been immersed in anger and had not thought of these things at all.
Just as Hou Junji said, Ruoxi would not sit back and wait for death, but instead command his 130,000 troops to fight here.
Can Songtsen cadres stop him?
The answer is impossible.
Thinking that he had so much trust in Luo Xi, and now he was still on guard against him backhanding him, Songtsen Gampo felt that he had really gotten carried away recently.
"General Hou is right. If General Hou hadn't reminded me, I might have lost my life!" Cadre Songtsen came to his senses and sighed.
But his hatred for Losey grew stronger in his heart.
"But Luoxi deceived me and now oppresses me with a large army. Am I just going to let it go?" The more Songtsen Gampo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. As the king of Tibet, how could he be forced by his generals?
"What I want is for you, Your Majesty, not to act rashly now. When Luo Xi slowly lets down his guard, you can naturally seize his military power."
"As long as the military power is in your Majesty's hands, Luo Xi's life is still at your Majesty's disposal?" Hou Junji said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, General Hou is indeed very resourceful. I didn't expect this just now."
"As long as the military power is regained, don't I have the final say on Luo Xi's life and death!" Songtsen Gampo's face was filled with joy. Only then did he fully understand what he should do.
"Since we want to regain military power, let Luo Xi lose a few battles, so that I will have sufficient reason to send someone to take over."
"General Hou, although you came from the Tang Dynasty, I trust you more than anyone else now."
"This military power, why not let you replace Luo Xi!"
"No matter what, our opponent is the Tang Dynasty!" Songtsen Gampo looked at Hou Junji with a smile.
Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you cannot leave this to me. I am only responsible for advising Your Majesty. Military power must still be left to the Tubo generals."
"But……"
"Your Majesty, please don't mention it again, otherwise I will leave immediately!" Hou Junji said firmly.
There seemed to be a look of regret on the face of Songtsan cadre, and he said with a slightly disappointed tone: "I originally wanted General Hou to command our Tibetan army, because I have always trusted General Hou very much."
"But since General Hou refuses so firmly, I won't force it anymore."
After saying that, the fierceness in Songtsan's eyes slowly dissipated.
Hou Junji also let out a sigh of relief.
There is no reward of military power, it is clearly a life-threatening temptation.
