Chapter 33 Liangzhou Emergency

I stayed in Gu Qing's Dali Temple prison for several months. It was late autumn and it was cold winter. Li Tai often visited Gu Qing and came this time, "I told you can eat more gentle."

"You don't know!" Gu Qing swallowed a bite of pork belly, "The three meals a day are simply not something that people can eat. I can barely eat the only one you give me every day."

"Battle?" Li Tai's mouth only twitched, "Is the food in my mansion not delicious?"

Gu Qing shook his hand, "Then you must have never eaten tea eggs."

"If you change the King of Japan, try your skills." Li Tai said, picking up a little man's book beside Gu Qing's bed and putting it down angrily, "What do you read all day long?"

"Don't turn over the things beside other people's beds." Gu Qing said as he ate, "When will your father chop my head?"

"It's too early to cut your head." Li Tai said sadly, "I'm worried recently and I can't take care of you for the time being."

"What's wrong? Are you going to rebel?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said.

"Don't make a fuss." Li Tai shook his folding fan. "A few days ago, Liangzhou was attacked. The barbarians in Tuyuhun burned, killed and looted in the Liangzhou area. The quarrels at the court meeting today were almost starting to fight."

The folding fan is the more you use Li Tai, the more you can use it. He always has to carry a fan when going out. He sighed and said, "The Tang Dynasty is about to fight again."

"Then just fight!" Gu Qing said nothing, "I don't care if I beat him, but I don't keep any armor, and I don't have any grass to grow."

Li Tai smiled bitterly, "You said it easy. Do you think your father doesn't want to do it? It's just that the Tang Dynasty has only been based in the Central Plains for a few years? Today's Tang Dynasty is actually strong outside and the middle. Too many people died during the war in the Central Plains. The father has always encouraged the people to have children and secretly raise national strength. Now he has just seen some improvement. The people have only lived a good life for a few years. Now he has to fight again, so how can so many people go to war?"

"What is your father's idea?" Gu Qing became interested.

"At today's court meeting, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling took a group of civil servants to discuss peace, thinking that the Tang Dynasty is not suitable for war today." Li Tai fell into deep thought and said, "The generals demanded a war."

"It's not easy to negotiate peace." Gu Qing thought of some reasons. The so-called peace talks also require strength. If you don't have your fists, who will negotiate for you.

"The difficulty is here." Li Tai continued, "Now the envoy of Tuyuhun is about to arrive in Chang'an, and I don't know what requests will be made. In short, the person who comes is not good. If the peace talks about peace, what should the other party pays a huge price, how to deal with it, it is not impossible to fight. However, the national strength that the Tang Dynasty finally raised has to be spent on the cultivation and rest of the years, it will be in vain."

The fat monk listened carefully.

Speaking of war, Gu Qing thought of Songtsen Gampo, "Is it Tubo next door to Tuyuhun?"

"That's right." Li Tai nodded.

"You said that Tuyuhun would not fight against Tubo, why are you competing with our Tang Dynasty?" Gu Qing ate half an elbow again.

Li Tai smiled when he heard the words, "Tuyuhun and Tubo fight? Gu Qing has a clever plan?"

"No." Gu Qing shook his head vigorously.

"Hurry up and say no," Li Tai said, "Hurry up! If you don't talk, you won't send me food in the future. Let me drink porridge."

"Okay, you Li Tai actually threatened me with such vicious means." Gu Qing drank the wine.

"Oh, poor Wu Mei knelt in front of my mansion that day and asked me to save you. Why did she like such a beautiful man like you, a greedy guy who is so eager to be rich and greedy?"

"Wu Mei is going to beg you." Gu Qing sat up, "How is she?"

"It's okay, now she takes care of Sun Simiao." Li Tai asked anxiously, "You said, do you have any ideas?"

The prison was very quiet. There were not many people in Gu Qing's cell. The fat monk yawned and wanted to sleep.

"This is the solution." Gu Qing said, "I'll just say it, just listen. If your father doesn't make it, you can't chop off my head on my neck because of this."

"No!" Li Tai said, "My father is not interested in your dog's life."

"The old saying goes well, there are always more ways than problems." Gu Qing shook his fan. "Songzan Gampo is a very ambitious person. He just pacified the various tribes of Tubo and would not crouch in a corner. If Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty started a war, Songzan Gampo, who was in the rear, had no idea? He must have thought of taking down most of Tuyuhun's territory while Tuyuhun is empty, and the grassland is wealth."

Speaking of this, Gu Qing thought of the trajectory of history. After a war between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo led Tuyuhun to run around the ground with Tubo.

"So we have to unite with Tubo and attack Tuyuhun?" Li Tai asked.

"No, no, I don't think it's necessary to join forces with Tubo." Gu Qing said again, "The Tang Dynasty must send troops. It must block Tuyuhun near Liangzhou. At the same time, we must cross the grassland and press forward near Tubo, but we cannot start first?"

"What's the point?" Li Tai knew that Gu Qing hadn't mentioned the point yet.

After walking two steps back and forth, Gu Qing continued, "The first thing is to send two soldiers, one of them dressed as Tuyuhun's army, and attack the Tubo tribe, you must attack just right. The other soldiers dressed as Tubo soldiers and horses to attack the Tuyuhun's tribe. You must be more ruthless when attacking Tuyuhun. This move must be done in two ways."

"Second, the Tuyuhun envoy secretly took it down when entering Chang'an. Don't let go of the news! Then send a detailed plan to spread the news in Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty and the Tuyuhun envoys agreed to join forces to attack Tubo."

"Third, the same sent a detailed work to spread news in Tuyuhun that the Tang Dynasty would join forces with Tubo to counterattack Tuyuhun."

"Your idea..." Li Tai thought for a long time, "Why does it feel so bad?"

Gu Qing smiled but said nothing, thinking that the spy war back then was running all over the ground, so how could this small plan of disagreement be?

"I want to enter the palace!" Li Tai hurriedly got up and wanted to leave. He suddenly stopped his steps and looked at Gu Qing in confusion. "You said Songzan Gampo is an ambitious person. How did you know? Do you know him?"

"I know him, but he doesn't know me." Gu Qing clenched his nose.

Li Tai left in a hurry, and the prison fell into silence again. The fat monk snored next door, "Stinky monk, come here to play cards."

The fat monk changed his sleeping position and didn't react very much.

In the East Palace, Changsun Chong sat in front of Li Chengqian, "Gu Qing is still in Dali Temple now, why has his father been slow to leave?"

"Gu Qing is just a money-loving little man. He is just a majesty's appreciation for his majesty with his movable type printing technique and new paper." Changsun Chong sat down and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be upset."

Li Chengqian was in a daze as he looked at the candlelight in front of him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince really cares about the King of Wei." Changsun Chong smiled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the most threatening opponent."
