Zhao Chen was a little confused. These people had already come to the door, clamoring to take the princess back.
If Lao Li didn't send troops to slap Songtsen Gampo hard in the face, what's the point of asking him to come over and read this military report?
Moreover, none of the other old guys spoke just now. What happened?
Zhao Chen didn't want to be involved in this matter, so his wedding to Li Ruoshuang started within a few days.
At this time, Zhao Chen was not willing to cause trouble.
But it was obvious that the emperor did not think so.
"I came to you because I want to hear your opinion!" Li Shimin said slowly, his expression still as tense as before.
"Zhao Chen has no objection, everything is subject to the Holy Order." Zhao Chen will not take this trouble.
Lao Litou obviously didn't have any good intentions.
If he had any better ideas, Lao Li would become interested.
Who knows if he will let himself follow him to Songzhou.
Zhao Chen has no interest in this kind of hard work!
Li Shimin was eager for Zhao Chen to give him some advice, but Zhao Chen said this to him.
no comment?
Your boy picked his own pretty quickly.
If you hadn't been in Chang'an City and made Lu Dongzan go back in despair, could Songtsen Gampo use this topic to his advantage?
Of course, Li Shimin kept this to himself. If he told Zhao Chen, he would have to refute him again and again.
However, although Li Shimin had already planned to use troops against Tubo, he was still a little worried after all.
Although Zhao Chen is young, he has a lot of experience, and he comes up with some weird ideas from time to time, which may be useful.
But Zhao Chen kept silent, which made Li Shimin anxious.
"Zhao Chen, if you don't give me an explanation, I will throw you to Songzhou." Li Shimin said lightly, with a serious look on his face, as if he was not joking.
Zhao Chen couldn't figure out for a while why Old Li Tou insisted on making suggestions himself.
But he didn't want to go to Songzhou.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhao County is too young after all. We should discuss this matter later." Fang Xuanling glanced at Zhao Chen, but after all, he didn't trust Zhao Chen in his eyes.
This matter concerns the Tang Dynasty and is definitely not something to be trifled with.
With the emperor's love for Zhao Chen, if the emperor really used Zhao Chen's wrong method, it would really be over.
When the time comes, won't the Tang Dynasty that they have worked so hard to manage for so long be destroyed in one fell swoop?
"Your Majesty, since the Marquis of Zhao County is unwilling to talk, then forget it. We will discuss this matter in court tomorrow." Li Ji also said with the emperor's hands.
Zhao Chen was a half-year-old boy who had never led an army before and had no idea about the war ahead.
Isn't it a waste of time to follow his advice?
"Zhao Chen, are you going to tell me?" Li Shimin waved his hand to stop everyone talking and asked Zhao Chen.
If it had been anyone else, Li Shimin would have forgotten it.
But Zhao Chen is the one who will succeed him in the future. When encountering such military and national events in the future, will he step aside and let others do it?
If this is really the case, will you still be so angry that you jump out of the coffin?
Why not take advantage of this opportunity and let Zhao Chen have a good experience.
If what he said is not good, you can take the opportunity to correct it, right?
What a great opportunity this is?
Li Chengqian and Li Tai want it in their dreams, so they have to give it to them themselves, right?
Zhao Chen also saw that Old Li Tou was determined to make things difficult for him.
But, as far as this matter is concerned, isn’t it easy for me?
"Don't you just want some advice? Then I'll give you two random ideas!" Zhao Chen waved his hand, walked straight to the side, brought out a stool, and sat directly opposite the emperor.
The little eunuch next to him had a dark face.
This Zhao County Marquis must be too courageous, and he doesn't understand any etiquette.
How dare you be so unruly in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
This is such a huge favor, you should be reprimanded!
Fang Xuanling and others even twitched their faces and looked at the emperor, praying that the emperor would reprimand Zhao Chen.
Unexpectedly, the emperor seemed not to have seen it, and looked at the memorial in his hand expressionlessly.
All the people were groaning inwardly. They had been standing here for half an hour, their legs had long since been cured, and the emperor had not given them seats.
This Zhao Chen...
"Your Majesty, the first way is not to fight this battle..."
"It's ridiculous. The Tubo army has bullied us right at our doorstep. You say you don't want to fight this war? What's your intention?"
Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, he heard Wei Zheng shout loudly, and Wei Zheng's roar could be heard throughout the Ganquan Palace.
Lao Weitou is that this place is not good and he cannot tolerate any loss of reputation of Datang.
Fang Xuanling and others also clenched their fists tightly, as if they were about to rush forward and beat Zhao Chen violently.
Obviously, Zhao Chen's words just now stung their hearts severely.
"Boy Zhao, do you know what you are talking about?" Li Shimin frowned.
"Then does your Majesty know who your opponent is?" Zhao Chen asked.
This sentence made Li Shimin's face turn red.
The extremely ambitious Tubo, even if Songtsen Gampo did not take action, he would still attack Tubo after the Tang Dynasty had rested for two years.
This battle will have to be fought sooner or later.
But I didn't expect that Tubo would be the first to attack them.
"Tubo is located on a plateau in the northwest. A plateau is a mountainous area several thousand meters above sea level. If we go there, we will definitely suffer from altitude sickness."
"Do you know what altitude sickness is? It means dizziness, difficulty breathing, nausea in the mouth, and weakness in hands and feet."
"When you mobilize a large number of troops and run to the border of Tubo, and you develop altitude sickness, half of the soldiers will be lost on the road before you meet the Tubo people!"
"Even if you are lucky enough to persist to the Tubo city and encounter Tibetan soldiers, by then you will not even have the strength to hold the sword, how can you fight against the Tibetan barbarians?"
"Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, marching on the plateau is difficult, and the Tibetan army has just defeated Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, and its morale is high. How are you going to fight this battle?" Zhao Chen said slowly, not caring that Li Shimin was already close to
Ashen face.
Old Li Tou did not expect that he was originally full of joy and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Tubo, but when Zhao Chen said this, he suddenly lost the confidence in his heart.
If they were to rush over here, they would probably be finished first without the Tibetans taking action.
But how could Li Shimin endure such a sigh of relief? He was so angry that his face naturally didn't look good.
But he had to admit that what Zhao Chen said was extremely reasonable.
As for Zhao Chen just lying to him, Lao Litou would not have such an idea at all.
Even if Zhao Chen doesn't deal with him, he won't lie to him on this matter!
"Then how do you think this battle should be fought?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.
Fang Xuanling and others did not feel any pain in their legs at this moment, and their hearts were filled with shock.
I originally thought that Zhao Chen was incapable of understanding military and state affairs, but when I heard what he said, I felt astonished.
At this moment, everyone was even more curious about what Zhao Chen would say next.
"Didn't I just say that the first way is not to fight Tibet." Zhao Chen said.
Everyone frowned, but they were waiting for Zhao Chen's next remarks.
"Isn't Songtsen Gampo going to marry the princess? Then why not just agree to him?" Zhao Chen's next words almost made Li Shimin die on the spot.
