Good things never go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.
The news of the prince''s broken leg spread like a cold wind in winter, quietly sweeping through every street of the imperial city.
Even Beidaying, far away from Chang''an City, heard some disturbances.
Tang Hao sits in the tent of the Chinese army, listens to the news from Wu Tong, looks at Cheng Chumo on the side of the tent and says.
"What do you think?"
Chumo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said.
"The prince''s broken leg may be just a coincidence, maybe..."
Chumo didn''t say anything about it.
Tang Hao looks dignified, stares at Chumo and says slowly.
"In my opinion, this is not a coincidence, but a long planned action."
Hearing the speech, Chumo suddenly raised his head, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What brother Tang said is a dispute between the princes?"
Tang Hao slowly stood up, put his chin in his hand, and began to pace in the big tent.
long time.
Tang Hao stops, looks at Chumo and slowly says.
"Now the Queen''s funeral is over, and there is no owner in the harem. It''s reasonable that those concubines and princes are ready to move."
After that, Tang Hao patted Chumo on the shoulder.
"All right, I''d better not mention the struggle in the royal family."
"I have to guard against the dispute over the monarch. Let''s train our troops at ease."
"Maybe this team will come in handy."
……
Tai Chi hall.
A country cannot be ownerless.
The king of Tang, who had been silent for several days, now sits on the high dragon throne again.
It has been said that the prince fell off his horse and broke his leg.
On the surface, the ministers dare not discuss the imperial platform privately, but in private, the ministers inevitably talk about their princes.
From beginning to end, the king of Tang never stated his position.
However, today''s court is a different look.
Three war drums sounded, and Hou Junji, a general guarding the border of the western regions, returned to the dynasty as scheduled.
Under the attention of the public, Hou Junji stood majestically in the Tai Chi hall with his silver armor.
The strong and vigorous voice resounded through the whole hall.
"The last general, I have seen your majesty!"
The king of Tang on the Dragon chair, looking at Hou Junji in the hall, showed a long lost smile and said.
"Duke Chen, it''s been hard for you to guard the southwest border for me for many years."
Hou Junji''s eyes were bright, his head was slightly lowered, and he bowed his hands respectfully.
"Everything, for Datang."
His words are sincere and sonorous.
Tang Wang was also infected by his loyalty to serve the country. He was a little more gratified in his eyes and said slowly.
"Have you ever settled in the southwest? Have there been any changes in Tubo?"
After hearing this inquiry, Hou Junji raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, there has been no change in the southwest."
"In recent days, I heard that a letter from an envoy visiting the Tang Dynasty was transmitted to Tubo, which caused a lot of commotion in Tubo."
"There seems to be signs of expedition."
As soon as the voice fell, the ministers were slightly surprised.
Counting the time, the Tubo emissary has not returned home, but it is very likely that the news of the sudden death of the Tubo prince will be transmitted back to the Tubo country.
Did the Tubo Prime Minister deliberately plant the matter and provoke a war between the two countries?
The king of Tang, who sat high, gradually converged his smile, snorted coldly and said.
"Is this Tubo going to fight my Tang Dynasty?"
Hou Junji in the hall pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"In my opinion, Tubo is still in its infancy and definitely does not dare to send troops to the Tang Dynasty."
"In today''s Tuyuhun, there are power disputes again in China, and the whole country is in chaos."
"The end general guessed that Tubo would probably use troops against Tuyuhun."
Hearing the speech, the king of Tang flew into a rage, clapped his palm on the table in front of him and shouted.
"He dares!"
"Tuyuhun is a dependency of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows it!"
"What''s the difference between Songzan Ganbu''s sending troops to Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty?"
But as the king of Tang said.
During the eight to ten years of Zhenguan, Li Jing, Li Junxian, Hou Junji and other generals fought for several years and defeated Tuyuhun.
The king of the Tang Dynasty read that the first king of Tuyuhun was beheaded and ordered to restore his country. He made Nuo hogbo king of Heyuan county and Wudi also pulled Qin Dou Khan.
So far, this small country has become a dependency of the Tang Dynasty.
The court was surprised at the sudden news, and many ministers also talked about it.
"This Tibetan thief, while sending envoys to Datang, but at the same time fighting against Datang''s vassal country, is really hateful!"
"The southwest border is the most vast and powerful territory of Tubo. The wolf''s ambition is obvious."
"If Tubo doesn''t fight, it''s difficult to calm the grievances of other southwest people. It''s better to eliminate these evils as soon as possible!"
The court looked at each other and talked noisily, but on the whole, the officials tended to attack Tubo.
War means military merit!
After several years of guarding, Hou Junji can''t miss it.
Think of here.
Hou Junji took a step forward, half knelt on the ground and arched his hands.
"Your majesty! The end general is willing to take orders and lead the southwest army guarding the border to take Tubo in one fell swoop!"
Seeing this greedy general, the king of Tang had a strange look in his eyes.
Hou Junji had fought in the southwest station before, and then guarded it in the southwest station.
We can imagine the prestige and influence in the army.
It is the most feared thing for a king to have a general outside with a heavy army in his hand.
Unlike other garrison generals, Niu JINDA replaced Hou Junji back to the dynasty.
The two men are life and death partners and have experienced many wars together.
If the army guarding the Southwest has two minds, it will be the disaster of the Tang Dynasty.
