Chapter 177 Tang Xuanzang
After listening to Li Zhen¡¯s words, all the ministers present agreed deeply and felt that what Li Zhen said made sense.
Although the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is now good, and the emperor even married Princess Wencheng to Tubo Songtsen Gampo, Tubo's strength is growing day by day, and it will indeed be a great threat to the Tang Dynasty in the future.
If the Tang Dynasty sent troops to defeat Zhongtianzhu, then Zhongtianzhu and Tubo were not far apart, and it would only give Tubo an advantage.
Because with the current situation, it is impossible for Datang to have such an enclave across so many countries. This is unrealistic.
Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "I can't hit me, I can't scold me. Do we, the Tang Dynasty, just let it go and let others bully us?"
"Of course not! This time, we not only want to find justice for the Tang Dynasty mission, but also wipe out Zhongtianzhu in one fell swoop!"
"After all, isn't it just a fight? Didn't the prince say that the Tang Dynasty cannot send troops?" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and launched a counterattack against Li Zhen.
Li Zhen said loudly: "We must fight, but there is no need to use all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Haha, is it possible that His Highness the Crown Prince can spread the beans and make an army? If so, I, Changsun Wuji, really admire him!"
"If the Tang Dynasty doesn't send troops to attack, can't we borrow troops?"
"Borrowing troops?"
After hearing Li Zhen¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s hearts moved.
Li Zhen continued: "To the north of Central Tianzhu, there is Northern Tianzhu, Tubo, and Nepal (Nepal). Among them, Tubo and Nepal have good relations with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo are still the countries of the father-in-law. If we can borrow the troops of Tibet and Nibala to attack Central Tianzhu, if we win, we can make the Tang Dynasty famous in foreign lands and gain a lot of wealth. If we lose, the people of the Tang Dynasty will not be harmed."
"good."
After listening to Li Zhen's words, Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, saying that his son was really powerful, and he actually thought of borrowing troops. This was indeed much better than sending troops from thousands of miles away in the Tang Dynasty to attack Zhongtianzhu.
Changsun Wuji said: "It's easy for the prince to say it. Nibalo is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. It's okay to borrow troops from it, but how can Tubo borrow troops from us?"
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said: "What's the difficulty? Lu Dongzan, the Prime Minister of Tubo, is in Chang'an now. As long as he helps us, we will be able to borrow Tibetan soldiers and horses to defeat Zhongtianzhu."
"Yes, that's true." Li Shimin was overjoyed.
Changsun Wuji suddenly asked again: "Even if Tubo and Nibala send troops, who in the Tang Dynasty can lead the troops to defeat Zhongtianzhu?"
"You only need to choose a general." Li Zhen said.
"The most capable person in our Tang Dynasty is General Li Jing. How about letting General Li Jing lead the army?" Changsun Wuji said gloomily.
"Old General Li Jing is over seventy years old and has been ill in bed for a long time. He has heard for a long time that the climate in the Tubo Plateau is bad. How can the old general endure it?" Li Zhen shook his head.
"This attack on Zhongtian Zhu involves the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. We must be able to win. Apart from General Li Jing, I can't think of another candidate." Changsun Wuji said.
Li Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "General Li Jing will never go on an expedition. I am willing to lead troops and horses to Tianzhu!" Li Zhen said loudly.
"Okay! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, and is indeed the best candidate. Please allow His Majesty the Emperor to allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lead the army to conquer Tianzhu!"
Changsun Wuji had long heard that the air in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where Tubo was located was thin, and many Han people died in Tubo because they could not adapt to the environment. He wished Li Zhen had died on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Even if Li Zhen passed the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and arrived in Central Tianzhu, I heard that the heat in Central Tianzhu was unbearable and the plague was rampant. If Li Zhen didn't understand the geography, how could he win easily?
In the end, Li Zhen died anyway, and the chance of surviving was not high. Therefore, Changsun Wuji tried his best to let Li Zhen lead troops to attack Tianzhu.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must bring elite men with him when he goes on an expedition. Why not His Highness the Crown Prince draw 5,000 troops from the Central Forbidden Army to go to Tianzhu."
Changsun Wuji didn¡¯t mean well. He was afraid that Li Zhen would regret it. In order to strengthen Li Zhen¡¯s intention to attack Tianzhu, he asked Li Zhen to go with five thousand elite soldiers.
Anyway, in Changsun Wuji's view, these Tang soldiers must not be adapted to the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Tianzhu, and cannot exert their combat effectiveness.
Even whether Li Zhen can come back alive in the end is unknown. As long as Li Zhen is defeated, his prestige will plummet, and he will take this opportunity to overthrow Li Zhen and replace him with Jin Wang Li Zhi.
What's more, Li Zhen is likely to be dissatisfiedHe died on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Tianzhu due to land or war. In short, as long as Li Zhen agreed to go to Tianzhu, it would be a narrow escape from death.
Li Shimin also frowned and said: "Zhen'er, I heard that Tubo has many high mountains, and the mountains are covered with snow all year round. The Han people cannot adapt to it, and Tianzhu is very hot and plague is prevalent. As the prince, it is too dangerous for you to lead troops to Tianzhu"
"Father, I am willing to defeat Tianzhu and use foreign lands to spread the danger of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Zhen said loudly.
"Yes, the prince has such ambitions, so the emperor will fulfill his ambitions." Changsun Wuji said continuously from the side.
"Zhen'er, have you really decided to go to Tianzhu?"
"My son has decided that Tianzhu must be conquered!"
"Okay, how many people do you need to go? Is five thousand forbidden troops enough?"
"It is enough for me to go with only five hundred guards."
"Your Majesty, if the prince has such great ambitions, please fulfill his ambition." Changsun Wuji said quickly.
When Li Shimin saw that Li Zhen insisted on leading troops to pacify Tianzhu, and all the ministers agreed, it was hard to disobey everyone. He nodded and said: "Okay, then you can take care of yourself"
When they came out of Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji and his ministers were beaming with joy, while the ministers who supported Li Zhen looked depressed. Traveling thousands of miles to defeat Tianzhu, how easy is it?
What if we can¡¯t borrow Tibetan and Nibal soldiers?
Does the prince want to conquer Tianzhu with just these five hundred people?
Many people thought that the prince was reckless this time and everything was over. There was no chance of winning this battle.
Cheng Yaojin and other generals walked up to Li Zhen and wanted to say something. Li Zhen shook his head and said: "You old generals, there is no need to say anything. I have made up my mind. This time, Tianzhu will be wiped out, so that the people of Tianzhu will never dare to fight again." I, the Tang Dynasty, take it seriously!"
"Why!"
Seeing what Li Zhen said, everyone had no choice but to sigh and ask Li Zhen to take care before leaving.
Li Zhen called Wang Xuance to her side and asked: "Master Wang, do you dare to go to Tianzhu with me again?"
Wang Xuance said seriously: "Xuance always thinks about avenging his companions in the mission. He is willing to be a pawn, follow the prince in front of the horse, and sweep across Tianzhu with the prince!"
"Okay! Follow me."
Li Zhen nodded, suddenly remembered something, and then whispered to Wang Xuance: "Take my token and go to the Translation Institute to find someone."
"who?"
