Yuchi Gong and the other man could no longer sit still.
Right now, the military camp was short of food, and the situation there was precarious. A war could break out at any time. At this time, after confirming that Zhang Feng indeed had such a divine weapon, how could the two of them sit still?
They grabbed Cheng Yaojin by the back of his collar and hurriedly ran out.
Fang Xuanling saw this and shook his head without saying anything.
After all, Feng Zi had already said this. It would be strange if these people could sit still.
Moreover, military science was indeed of great importance. How could he sit still?
He also hurriedly got up and went to the imperial study.
Just as he walked out of the barbican, he bumped into Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui. When the three of them saw Fang Xuanling coming out of the barbican, they asked in surprise, "Master Fang, you …"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard speechlessly, "Yuchi Gong just took me inside."
Their expressions became strange, but they didn't say anything. Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Let's go. I know you're also going to the Emperor. Let's go together."
Fang Xuanling was surprised.
"Why are you going to the Emperor's place?"
Zhangsun Wuji glared.
"You don't know? We just received news that the envoys from Tubo and Tuyuhun have entered the city! You don't know? "
How could Fang Xuanling know this?
He had just come out of Zhang Feng's little tavern and bumped into this fool. Now that he bumped into these three, how could he know?
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands.
"Let's go. We'll talk as we walk. Master Zhangsun, are the envoys from Tubo here because of the internal strife?"
Zhangsun nodded with a serious expression.
"Yes, it's because of this! But just now, Old Man saw Old Black Cheng and the other two leaving the palace in a hurry. What's the meaning of this? "
Fang Xuanling sighed.
"Your Majesty wants to start a war!"
"What?"
The three of them heard this.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
The Emperor actually wants to start a war?
Start a war?
How was this possible? Does His Majesty not know the current situation of the Tang Dynasty?
How could they start a war like this?
When the three of them heard this, they knew that this matter was indeed serious. They stopped talking and hurried to the Imperial Study.
Before the group of people could report to the eunuch at the door of the imperial study, Xiao Guizi hurriedly indicated for them to enter. Li Shimin had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time.
As soon as the four of them entered, Li Shimin asked directly, "Now, what do you think about Tubo's matter? Should we start a war or not? "
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. This old subject just met General Cheng and the other two. From their conversation, I learned that the army is seriously short of food. Many soldiers only eat two bowls of porridge every day. Under such circumstances, they don't dare to go to war!"
"Moreover, without military supplies, how can we start a war? Besides, if we force ourselves to go to war, it will inevitably lead to a strong counterattack from the Tuyuhun, the Turks, and even India. We've lost God's will! "
Li Shimin was angry.
He threw the secret letters in front of him to the four of them.
"This is the intelligence sent by the spy just now. I'm sure you know the situation in Tubo and other places. Moreover, Tuli has transferred 100,000 elites from the Youzhou garrison to the western region. I don't need to say anything about this, do I?"
"If we don't start a war now, do you want to wait until the Turks invade Tubo before going to war?"
Li Shimin was angry.
Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but be shocked by his insistence on starting a war.
Wei Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although we can go to war now, we just received a report that Tubo and Tuyuhun's envoys are about to enter Chang 'an City. It seems that they are here to ask for help. Moreover, it's not appropriate for us to go to war now."
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
"They came at this time?"
Li Shimin's eyes could not help but flash with killing intent.
If they wanted to come, why would Tubo delay until now?
Why did they only come now?
What did this mean?
It meant that they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would suddenly send troops at this time, so they wanted to find out the situation and ask for help from the Tang Dynasty!
This was really a good plan!
At this time, Li Shimin's desire to start a war was slightly weakened. It would be better if Tubo didn't send people, but now that they came, he couldn't help but have some concerns. He knew that this was a stalling tactic, but Tubo was obviously on guard against the Tang Dynasty. This was really despicable!
On the one hand, they made trouble at the border, and now they were on guard against the Tang Dynasty and came to ask for help. Damn it!
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, Wei Zheng continued, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to see what Tubo wants to do. As for the war, the Tang Dynasty's situation really doesn't allow us to start a war. Once we start a war, the lack of supplies will be completely exposed. At that time …"
Li Shimin heard this.
He couldn't help but clench his fists. But how could he not know this?
"Alas!"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's see what they say tomorrow morning! You can all leave now! "
