The Dongnu Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty represented by Tang Jianzuo won a win-win situation, but in fact, it was the family or the Tang Dynasty. Because the Dongnu Kingdom requested the Tang Dynasty to open a business road and increase the demand for mutual trading gave the Tang Dynasty a better excuse. Because there was a Tuyuhun between the Dongnu Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. The Dongnu Kingdom paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, allowing the Dongnu Kingdom, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to be completely surrounded by the Three Kingdoms, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. Tuyuhun, who was originally politically inclined to Tubo, immediately expressed their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and was forced to agree to the Tang Dynasty to station troops in Heyuan County and Xihai County of the Sui Dynasty in Tuyuhunyuan to protect the safety of the Tang Dynasty caravans in the Hexi Corridor.

Tuyuhun has always been a heart-wrenching problem for Uncle Li, and Tuyuhun is also swaying between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. The last time Songtsen Gampo led troops to attack Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty, it was Tuyuhun's two-sided pleasing and capricious behavior that made Uncle Li very annoyed. Now, the Tang Dynasty has been able to station troops in two key points of Tuyuhun, guarding the important roads of the border between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, not only making Tuyuhun docile, but also playing a role in monitoring and defending Tubo.

For this reason, Qinling repeatedly stated to Uncle Li that Tubo was absolutely unwilling. However, Uncle Li was not a good deal. He went through it perfunctorily on the grounds of protecting the interests of our Tang Dynasty business travelers and the safety of the business travelers in the Western Regions. Uncle Li told Qinling frankly that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are the country of father-in-law and son-in-law, and the Tang Dynasty will not provoke trouble easily. Tubo just pay attention to the people's livelihood in the country. In the surrounding countries, our Tang Dynasty will watch over them, the son-in-law country of Tubo.

"In this way, Tuyuhun is completely under the surveillance of our Tang Dynasty. It is difficult to repeat it." Uncle Li laughed proudly and all the ministers congratulated Uncle Li.

"Yes, Your Majesty, not only Tuyuhun, but also Tubo's Songzan's children are afraid they are gritting their teeth with righteousness right now." Uncle Li Ji smiled happily, and everyone was very excited to measure the expression of the ambitious Tubo king Songzan Gampo.

"Longyou dispatched troops to Heyuan and Xihe, which made our Tang Dynasty a barrier south of the Hexi Corridor. In this way, the trade exchanges between our Tang Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions will be safer. The commercial tax will probably increase a lot." The old man said happily.

"Yes, in this case, I am not worried about the major event of fighting in Goguryeo this time. Please look at it: To the west of our Tang Dynasty, Tubo was suppressed, the civil strife of the Western Turks was not yet quelled, and the strength was greatly damaged, so I could not look east. In the north, the Xueyantuo tribe was unable to take care of itself, so there was no time to disturb my Tang Dynasty border. This time, the property obtained from Xiangxiong Kingdom alone did not need to use the financial resources of the national treasury to carry out the Battle of Safe Goguryeo." Uncle Li pointed to the map, very pleased.

"Your Majesty!" Uncle Li Ji stood up again: "A few months ago, the governor of Yingzhou, Zhang Jian, had ordered the Liaodong tribe to harass the border town of Goguryeo. The Khitan tribe, Xi tribe, and the Maru tribe had not stopped for more than a month, but it attracted the attention of the Goguryeo court and the opposition. Quangai Suwen had sent troops to reinforce. Month ago, the governor of Yingzhou, Zhang Jian, took this opportunity to personally raise 10,000 elite troops, rushed to the Liaoshui River, and attacked Xiangping City at night. Three days later, Xiangping had already joined me and obtained a stronghold for our Tang Dynasty to the east of the Liaoshui River. In this way, our Tang Dynasty had already inlaid a nail on the land of Goguryeo, and there were plains in front, which was conducive to the advance of our Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry."

"Okay! That's great. I did not misunderstand it. What a good Zhang Jian, Goguryeo's first contribution, is he. Li Aiqing, tells me that no matter what, I must guard Xiangping City. With Xiangping, my army can be arranged calmly east of the Liaohe River. Goguryeo will undoubtedly be defeated."

With the movements of the Tang Dynasty, the time for fighting against Goguryeo is getting closer and closer. Unfortunately, when Li Shu gave birth, I was very likely not to be by her side. Li Shu was very unhappy with this news and nagged many times in my ears.

Today, Li Shu lay in my arms again, stroking his smooth and round belly, with dissatisfaction on his face: "That's my father, why should I let you go? His daughter is going to have a baby, and she insists on letting her daughter's husband go to the battlefield. I really don't know what he thinks."

Li Shu's due date was about May of the 18th year of Zhenguan. Now, the army is ready, and there is not much time left before the departure. As the chief officer of the Tang Military Academy, I naturally don't want to be left behind. I must lead this group of students to Goguryeo, thinking that I will respond. This time, Uncle Li transferred a total of 80,000 from Chang'an.

In addition, more than 12,000 people from the Military Academy are known as 100,000. They are preparing to enter Yingzhou directly from Iyang, Jinyang, Cangzhou and Pingzhou. At that time, Yingzhou will be used as the front-line headquarters to conquer Goguryeo.

"Okay, be careful, don't be angry? It's not unreasonable for your father to make such arrangements. Think about it, my father Fang Xuanling stayed in the capital to assist the state and governor of the state. Is it appropriate for me to stay in Chang'an to stay?" I said with a smile.

"Junlang's words make some sense. Now Your Majesty has included all the generals who can fight in the court in the ranks of the expedition, leaving only the father-in-law and the General of the Right Guard and the Minister of Works Li Daliang as deputy left-behind officials. This has shown one thing: Li Daliang is a man with outstanding military achievements and loyalty, and is most trustworthy. Your Majesty keeps him in Chang'an, but he doesn't want to be in chaos in Chang'an after the personal expedition. We, Mr. Lang has also participated in the war. In addition, we are both wise and brave, and are very good at strategy. If you take Junlang by your side, you can also ask Junlang for advice." When the palace maid said this, she raised her eyes and smiled at this beautiful girl. This was really praised.

The palace maid covered her lips and chuckled, scratched me with a charming eye and continued, "Lord Changsun also went to war with the army. Then, since my father-in-law stayed in Chang'an, Your Majesty will naturally bring the handsome man, so as not to cause any trouble between the two families when Your Majesty is away."

"In a word, you are a troublemaker. If my father doesn't look at you, he may not be relieved." Li Shu laughed. This girl knew how to reveal your husband's background and glared at Li Shu: "During this time, I'm not at home, you have to be quieter. Don't have to have any trouble. At least you have to think about our children. Be careful in everything. Although you are a princess and the relationship between Zhinu and you is the closest, you still have to be a low-key person."

"Don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know the general knowledge. Please remember everything you have told me here." Li Shu patted his plump breasts and replied with a smile.

"Well, it's great, but tonight, Wei Hu will definitely check it out for you to see if you really put everything you reminded you." I leaned into Li Shu's ear and whispered. A flush suddenly appeared on Li Shu's cheeks, and he pinched me in shame and annoyance: "Stinky handsome man, I don't think about good things all day long." Li Shu's words immediately attracted the attention of Green Die and others who were playing cards next to him. Seeing Li Shu's expression and movements, the wives and concubines who had already understood what was going on couldn't help but laugh.

"Slow!" I scratched the flesh of the waist that was pinched by Li Shu, and stopped Li Shu and said seriously, "Who said it! I just want to check the child's heartbeat for you. It's clear that you have a problem with your own thoughts. Oh, I'll pinch it. I'll fight back..."

"Sir, things are not very good." Qiu Danmo came to me and handed over a piece of paper full of words. I looked down and couldn't help but be shocked. It was about the deposed prince Li Chengqian. When the deposed prince left Chang'an, he sent four spies to follow him and sneaked into the deposed prince Yuzhou's mansion to do things. Unexpectedly, the deposed prince only arrived in the prefecture for a few months, and there were many people with different scheming on him.

After the secret investigation by the personnel from our school, we finally found that some of them were sent by His Majesty to monitor the deposed prince, and some came to serve Li Chengqian at the instruction of Li Zhi. However, one of them had an unknown origin, and after their observation and analysis, the group of people seemed to have bad intentions towards the deposed prince. One night, they had eavesdropped on the other party's conversation and seemed to want to kill the deposed prince. After hearing the news, they immediately sent back the information and took corresponding measures.

"I actually have the courage to assassinate the former prince. I am afraid this group of people will never be small." I sneered.

Li Xiaode next to him couldn't help but gasp: "Who has such courage? Although the former prince was blamed by His Majesty, he is the blood of the Tian family after all. If he had any good fortune, His Majesty would definitely track it down to the end."
