Chapter 653: Tubo builds a new kingdom

It was already dawn when the generals returned to Qingtang City, and the Tang army commander Su Dingfang had been waiting at the city gate in person for a long time. He wanted to welcome the generals and the triumphant soldiers. When he saw Chen Qi again, Su Dingfang did not show surprise, but laughed and came forward to give Chen Qi a hug.

"The last general will meet with the general!"

Chen Qi and Su Dingfang ended their embrace, and then he bowed to Su Dingfang.

"Chen Qi, why are you so obsessed with the vain now?" Su Dingfang had a faint smile on his face. "This time your tactical arrangement is very right. Only by completely solving Lu Dongzan's army can we deal a heavy blow to Tubo."

"Thank you for your praise--" Chen Qi said respectfully.

Seeing Chen Qi's serious look, Su Dingfang knew that his personality was like this, so he just smiled bitterly and shook his head, and continued to turn his eyes to Yuwen Guo.

"Yuwen Guo, I heard that you killed Lu Dongzan this time?" Su Dingfang asked lightly.

"Yes-" Yuwen Guo replied very simply, without any joy on his face, neither arrogant nor impatient, which made Su Dingfang very satisfied.

"So quickly send the head seal to Zhalan. Your Highness really wants to see Lu Dongzan as his head!" Su Dingfang ordered.

"No" Yuwen Guo replied.

At this moment, everyone was about to enter the city, and saw a fast horse coming to Qingtang City. On the war horse, the knight was dressed in black and black armor, and the standard black-clothed guard Eagle Guard Centurion.

The messenger of Lan? The generals thought to themselves. Because only the messenger who sent the letter to the Eagle Guard was the centurion, and only Li Ke could send such messengers.

"Your Highness's Military Order--" the messenger stopped his horse and shouted loudly at the first ten steps of Su Ding's side.

Su Dingfang and the generals stopped talking and waited for Li Ke's orders.

When the centurion jumped off the horse and handed a roll of bamboo tube to Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang opened the letter and saw a faint look of joy on his face.

"Your Highness will arrive in Qingtang City soon!" Su Dingfang said briefly.

"What? Your Highness is coming to Qingtang City--"

"Have your highness recovered?"

"When will your Highness arrive?"

The generals asked in a verbal manner, and the gate of Qingtang City was very lively.

"Everyone, let's talk about it later!" Su Dingfang coughed slightly before saying that he saw everyone's joy.

"No--" The generals responded and walked into Qingtang City with Su Dingfang.

Because the Northern King Li Ke was coming to Qingtang City, and Qingtang City was about to enter winter, the Northern King Li Ke was not in good health. Therefore, after discussions by Su Dingfang and other generals, the mansion of the largest chieftain in Qingtang City was repaired and changed to the headquarters of the Northern King of Qingtang City.

Time passed quickly. On the third day after the generals received the messenger's letter, Li Ke and his group had already appeared outside Qingtang City.

Ten miles outside Qingtang City, Su Dingfang led the generals to welcome Li Ke.

As soon as the banner was waving, Li Ke's frame slowly appeared in the sight of the generals under the entourage of two thousand Eagle Guards and 20,000 Mo Dao Soldiers.

"See Your Highness—"

When the generals saw Li Ke, they bowed and bowed.

"You don't need to be polite!" Li Ke sat in the car and opened the curtain and said to the generals. His body is still very weak now, and Qingtang City is located in the plateau area, and the climate and environment have a great impact on the body. Therefore, in the face of the salutes of the generals, Li Ke did not get off the car outside the windy Qingtang City.

After Li Ke finished saluting the generals, the Eagle Guard took the initiative to open the way, and the generals of the Qingtang City followed Li Ke's frame, and the army slowly drove into Qingtang City.

After entering the city, Li Ke's frame was parked at the gate of the Beiwang of Qingtang City, which had been renovated.

In the hall of the Northern King's Head, Li Ke finally met with the generals.

Seeing that Li Ke was still very weak, the generals felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Everyone, sit down!" Li Ke said with a smile, "The war with Tubo has been going well during this period. I am happy for you to disturb Lan!"

When Li Ke said this, he turned his gaze to Su Dingfang, "Su Lie commanded the troops on the right side, and I am very satisfied."

"Thank you, Your Highness——" Su Dingfang replied politely.

"Yuwen Guo, if you kill the Tubo prime minister Lu Dongzan, I will definitely write to the court to reward you!" Li Ke said to Yuwen Guo.

"Thank you, Your Highness——" Yuwen Guo replied modestly.

Immediately, Li Ke talked to the generals for a while, and then left the hall to rest.

In the evening, the Northern King held a banquet. After Li Ke and the generals finished the banquet, they let the generals come to his study.

Because he wants to discuss military affairs with the army.

In the study, Su Dingfang, Cheng Mingzhen, Li Xianzhong, Sun Erlang, Xu Jingzong, Chen Qi, Xue Rengui, Yuwen Guo, Tuyan, Zadler, Li Zong, Li Yan, Zheyu and others were there. After a closer look, these generals were basically the most powerful existences in the Tang army and the most popular generals in the Tang Dynasty. They were all the military achievements and all had their own brave generals who became famous in the battle.

"This time we captured two Tubo cities, Mo Yue and Yaze, on the southern line. The Bingfeng on the southern line was approaching Pibo City. As long as we captured Pibo City, the portal of Lushe City will be opened, and we can drive straight into Lushe City." Li Ke analyzed lightly, "But do you know a little bit? Lushe City has 100,000 elite cavalry guards. The royal elite cavalry of Tubo Songtsen Gampo, no matter any of our cavalry meets him, we will not be able to gain the advantage."

"So, our strategy is to lead out these 100,000 elite cavalry. Even if they cannot all leave Luos, at least half of them must be led out of Luos. Only by annihilation of the last elite cavalry in Tubo can we reach Luoshui, and we can solve Songtsen Ganbu without bloodshed." Li Ke continued, "You all should express your opinions!"

"Your Highness, why don't we surround Pibo City, and surround but not attack, so that the army of Luoshu will come to rescue? Wouldn't this lead to the 100,000 elite cavalry?" Cheng Mingzhen was the first to speak.

"What should we do if Luoshecheng is unwilling to send reinforcements to rescue Pibocheng?" Zheyu asked coldly.

"Pibocheng is the second largest city in Tubo. How many people are there in the inner city? Those Tubo people asked us to kill 10,000 yuan a day and it would take two or three months. I am not afraid that Songtsen Gampo can bear it!" Cheng Mingzhen said fiercely.

After following Li Ke for a long time, Cheng Mingzhen also began to become bloodthirsty in his bones, and gradually became a murderous devil.

"Your Highness, in fact, the problem you mentioned has been solved by General Chen Qi long ago!" Xu Jingzong said lightly.

"Huh?" Li Ke said in surprise, "What does the Yan clan mean?"

"Your Highness, now there are several surrendered Tubo chieftains in General Chen Qi's hands. We can make a fuss about them." Xu Jingzong smiled, "If we ask Mo Yue chieftain to be king in Yaze City and support him to establish the Tubo Kingdom, what does the Tubo Kingdom Songtsen Gampo think? Can he still stand the emergence of such a kingdom? If he can stand it, then we will attack Pibo City in the name of the new Tubo Kingdom. Maybe Tubo City will be captured. If Pibo City is captured, the new Tubo Kingdom will be built in Pibo City. Now winter is coming soon. After we control Qingtang City, Tubo lacks many items for winter. As long as we let the new Tubo Kingdom win people's hearts with what the Tubo people lack, the ordinary people of Tubo will recognize this kingdom. Will Songtsen Gampo remain indifferent at that time?"

"Well——" Li Ke nodded, "Good suggestions——”

"Xu Sima, what if Tubo Songtsen Gampo holds up this tone and wants to waste time with us?" Li Xianzhong asked.

"Songtsen Gampo is fucked by us, then we will fuck them. If we occupy Qingtang City, Moyue City and Yaze City, and if we occupy Pibo City again, most of the strong cities of Tubo have been occupied by us. As long as we support Moyue Tushe to establish a new Tubo Kingdom, do we still need to pay for the expenses of our army by ourselves?" Xu Jingzong said lightly, "At that time, we will implement a series of new policies in the new Tubo people, bewitching the Tubo people and let them support the new Tubo Kingdom more. By then, the people will flee and if Fujian does not support him, will Songtsen Gampo still dare to waste time with us? See how long he can hold us back."

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, the generals were sweating heavily on their backs.

Because Xu Jingzong's plan was too vicious, it was a plan to get rid of Songzan Gumbu.

Just imagine, when the new Tubo Kingdom was established, it was implemented benevolent government and gave the people some small favors. When faced with the old Tubo Kingdom that had been warring all year round, which kingdom would the Tubo people choose? It must be the new Tubo Kingdom with stable life and preferential policies. By then, Songtsen Gampo would become a lonely man, and the city would be destroyed without conquering the enemy.

"Well, then do it like this!" Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, "Chen Qi, if you ask Mo Yue Tusi to come to Qingtang City, we still need to discuss many issues with him."

"No——" Chen Qi took the order.
