Li Jing, who received the secret letter, was extremely excited.
He didn't forget to quickly send people to the field for inspection.
As expected.
The situation in reality was exactly the same as what was described in the letter.
Hiss!
Li Jing gasped!
This "Chu Qiu" was truly a god!!
Very quickly.
Li Jing gathered all the generals in the army and prepared to start a war with Tubo.
……
"His Majesty has ordered that we only set up defenses and not take the initiative to attack.”
"Only when the enemy attacks first can we fight back.”
"His Majesty is currently in the midst of a marriage alliance with the Tubo Empire. I'm afraid that General's actions are against His Majesty's will!”
"General, although you already have a comprehensive plan to defeat the enemy, the current relationship between the Great Tang and the Tubo, as well as His Majesty's policy, is that it is best not to engage in war.!”
"Great General, please reconsider!"
When Li Jing told the generals about the strategy he had obtained from Chu Qiu, they were shocked.
The generals in the army began to discuss.
Li Jing didn't tell her the truth or Chu Qiu's secret letter.
Therefore, everyone thought that this was Li Jing's plan.
After all, as the Great Tang War God, Li Jing did have the strength to do so.
They did not have any doubts.
Moreover, Li Jing's deployment had indeed given them hope of victory.
Although everyone's blood was boiling, they knew that if they could use this plan, they would be able to defeat the enemy.
They might even destroy a country in one battle.
But it was true.
Everyone had their concerns.
His concern was the current Great Tang Emperor Li Shimin's policy of marriage.
No one dared to disobey.
……
Li Jing finally cursed,"
"What kind of relationship is this? The enemy has already bullied us at our doorstep, why aren't you fighting back?”
"This battle of ours is truly a waste of time.”
However…
Very quickly.
Li Jing regained his rationality.
He then said to the generals in the army,
"Do you know why His Majesty wants a marriage alliance?？”
"It's just that our chances of winning this battle with the Tubo are not high. However, if we can win, will we still marry?？”
"Therefore, the matter is not with His Majesty, but with us.”
"It's up to the generals."
"If we can win, will there still be a marriage alliance? Will the Great Tang still have such humiliation?？”
His Majesty also wanted to start a war, but he was not sure if he could win.
But what if we can win?
Everyone.
After listening to Li Jing's words, they seemed to have come to a realization.
"When a general is outside, there are some things that the ruler cannot accept.”Li Jing said,
"Everyone, wait for the news of the marriage alliance in Chang 'an and observe the other party's actions. If the other party makes any strange movements, we can strike first.”
"With this victory, the Great Tang will be able to wash away its shame!!”
"Anyone who dares to slack off and avoid battle will be beheaded!"
As a result, under Li Jing's orders, the army was furious.
After the morale of the army boiled, their combat strength also instantly soared.
……
Meanwhile, in Chang 'an Fortress.
The Tibetan delegation had traveled for several days on the road and had arrived in Chang 'an ahead of schedule.
The entire diplomatic mission was led by the Tibetan Imperial Advisor, Daniexi.
Prince Gongzan of the Tubo, Tuoba Yuan, Huoba Guiren, the strongest archer in the world, and the number one general of the Tubo army, Zha Xigun, had also come with the bridal delegation.
Originally, Prince Gongzan, Tuoba Yuan, Huoba Guiren, and the others weren't in the entourage.
However, when they heard that Li Shiming was injured by an arrow, they suddenly requested to come together.
They had discussed it and wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate this neighboring country of the Central Plains.
Not only that, after hearing that Li Shimin was injured, the Tibetan King Songzan Gambo immediately deployed 100,000 soldiers to the border, ready to attack the Great Tang at any time.
The other plan of Prince Gonzan and the others was to take this opportunity to see the peerless beauty of the Central Plains.
He wanted to feel the tenderness of the Central Plains girl.
They had already settled down in Chang 'an and were ready to enjoy themselves before going to fetch the bride.
……
Within the Great Tang Imperial Palace.
The national gifts to receive the Tibetan diplomatic mission had all been prepared and arranged.
All the people who were supposed to attend had been invited.
They could only wait for the grand banquet to be held as scheduled tomorrow.
At that time, the Tubo Nation Master Daniexi would represent the Tubo King Songzan Gambo to marry the newly conferred Princess Wencheng of the Tang Empire.
As Princess Wencheng's father, Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites of the Great Tang, would represent the Great Tang to host this grand ceremony.
According to past practice, the Eldest Princess of the Great Tang, Princess Changle, as the number one beauty of the Great Tang and a goddess among the people, should also attend this grand event.
To display the peerless magnificence of the Great Tang.
However, because Chu Qiu had grabbed Princess Chang Le a few days ago, Princess Chang Le had been sulking at Chu Qiu.
Under the meticulous treatment of the imperial physician, the wound on Li Lizhi's face had completely recovered.
But she was not going to attend. She was determined to fight Li Shimin to the end.
The conflict between the father and daughter was not resolved but escalated instead.
Empress Zhangsun was deeply worried about this.
She did not want to see the father and daughter in such a stalemate. In the end, he found Chu Qiu to discuss this matter.
Empress Zhangsun said earnestly,"
"Regarding Lizhi's marriage, bengong and His Majesty don't have to insist on marrying her to Zhangsun Chong. Chu Qing's slap a few days ago seemed to have woken bengong up. Because of this, bengong and His Majesty have decided to let her find her own happiness.”
"We won't interfere with her marriage anymore.”
Chu Qiu said,"
"Since the Empress has already made up her mind, then what else is there to say? Just cancel this marriage. As the decision of the Emperor and the Empress of the Great Tang, would Zhangsun Wuji dare to disobey?”
Empress Zhangsun said sadly,"
"Even though this is the case, he is still bengong's elder brother, and Chong-er is bengong's nephew. If this matter is not handled properly, it will not only affect our relationship as siblings, but it may even affect the relationship between brother and His Majesty. Chong-er is also a hot-tempered person. BenGong still doesn't know what he will do because of this…"
"Since it's not convenient for the Empress to speak, I'll do it for her." Chu Qiu smiled.”
"You have a way to make them willingly accept the annulment?" Empress Zhangsun was shocked.!”
