In the seventh year of Zhenguan of the Tang Empire, Tsampo Ganbu, the ruler of the southwest Tubo Dynasty, ordered an army of 200,000 to charge toward Chang 'an.
The entire army seemed endless, and the dust that was stirred up could be seen clearly from several kilometers away.
The news of Tubo's attack spread to Chang 'an Imperial City.
The entire court was in chaos.
The emperor, Li Shimin, was at his wit's end. This overlord who had once beaten up many powerful enemies was also very afraid of the powerful Tubo people.
"Your Majesty, the Tibetans are taking advantage of the Tang Empire's post-war recuperation to come in full force. They are truly despicable people who take advantage of others 'difficulties! I hope Your Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible!"
General Xue Wanjun cupped his hands.
As soon as he said this, all the ministers cast disdainful gazes at Xue Wanjun, their faces filled with disdain.
After all, Xue Wanjun's words were simply nonsense!
It didn't help the progress of this matter at all. At this point, who didn't know to make a decision early?
The key was how to make a decision.
The Great Tang had been established for twenty years, but it had always been at war, never once resting.
Now that the country had just settled down and was beginning to recuperate, people's hearts were wavering.
Originally, he supported Li Jiancheng. Many of Li Yuanji's noble families were also constantly in turmoil.
The Tibetans took this opportunity to attack the Great Tang and colluded with these nobles. The current situation was indeed very dangerous.
"Damn! The Tubo birdman was truly despicable and shameless!”
Qin Shubao was also cursing loudly. He appeared to be heartbroken, but in fact, he had no idea at all.
"That's right! The Tubo birdman is going too far!"
Yuchi Jingde's long eyebrows flew up, and his eyes were round.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject is willing to defend the Great Tang to the death!”
Zhangsun Shunde took a step forward and cupped his hands.
"This subject also requests a death battle!"
Zhang Gongjin also took a step forward. His voice was like a bell, and it was hard to tell that it was fear and cowardice.
Li Shi Min revealed a gratified smile, but it was covered by a heavy worry.
" There are less than 50,000 soldiers in Chang 'an now," he said with a melancholic look." They are unable to resist the Tubo people. Even if you are willing to die for the Tang Empire, you cannot do anything about the disparity in strength!"”
"Yes, now is not the time to be brave.”
Prime Minister Wei Zheng looked at Zhang Gongjin and Zhangsun Shunde with a serious expression and said frankly.
Zhang Gongjin and Zhangsun Shunde looked at Wei Zheng and rolled their eyes. They were determined to beat up this old man who had no EQ.
The other officials in the court also gritted their teeth.
Could it be that Wei Zheng wanted to avenge Li Jiancheng?!
If Li Shiming didn't want to be the emperor of the world, they would have long dragged this old man to the suburbs and cut him into pieces.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject has a plan. Even if the Great Tang is currently no match for the Tibetans, it still has to put on a stance to have the capital to negotiate with them!”
Zhangsun Shunde spoke again.
"That's right. We must not reveal our cowardice in this battle against the foreign enemy! Only then could he negotiate and bargain with the Tibetans!”
Zhang Gongjin advised.
Li Shi Min sighed and said,"All the beloved ministers are right. No matter what, we have to take a stance first. All of you will follow me to the expedition and talk with Muchi Zampu. Our army will increase the number of military flags to deceive people and suspect that they are soldiers. Then, we will negotiate with the Tubo people. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for the Tang Empire.”
......
At this moment, in the wilderness 300 miles away from Chang 'an, a city stood quietly, looking down on the land of Huaxia.
The exquisite bluestone city walls, the alloy city gates, and the colorful glazed tiles looked like a phoenix soaring under the sun.
If the locals passed by this place, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
He thought that he had never heard of a city here before.
The city descended from the sky like a mirage.
The young master of the city, Meng Wei, was currently lying leisurely on a beach chair. The warm sunlight shone on him, making him look even more dispirited.
"Host, hurry up and get up! You haven't even started to complete the mission of turning Scum City into the world's largest city!”
The system's voice was like the sound of nature, sweet and pleasant to the ears.
"Oh right, host, are you sure you want to name this city Scum City? Sob, sob, sob. It was clearly a city full of vigor and vitality. Why was it called Scum City?”
The system said aggrievedly.
Meng Wei's lips curled up as he said indifferently,"Life is like a game. There's no problem being a scumbag. Now, I'm also very comfortable being a scumbag.”
"Sob, sob, sob. Why did I end up with a host like you who doesn't want to improve? Other hosts want to go against the heavens, the earth, and the universe.”
The system said unwillingly.
"Don't make so much noise. You're disturbing my sleep!”
Meng Wei pursed his lips and turned to the other side, as if he could avoid the System's nagging.
