"Songzan, I need you to stay here for this expedition. What do you mean?" After arranging Li You, Li Chengqian looked at Songzan Gampo again.

"I have no objection, but I want to know why. As the King of Qin is just a decoration, a small Xue Yantuo can't use you to come forward." Songtsen Gampo stared at Li Chengqian's face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

"It's not just Xue Yantuo." Li Chengqian glanced at Heizi and raised his lips slightly: "Tell me, don't say that you haven't received any news."

"Your Highness, I really haven't received any news, and even Xue Yantuo's affairs were disbanded and received it after the morning court." Heizi explained with a bitter look on his face.

"Why? Don't tell me that your subordinates are all eating dry food." Li Chengqian's face was unhappy.

The "Seventh Group" is the intelligence department he values ​​the most. If they have not received any news about such a big thing, then the "Seventh Group" will not be necessary.

"The news has been blocked, and it seems that His Majesty has a route to collect intelligence, so..." Kuroko explained.

"It's not his fault." Just when Heizi didn't know how to explain, Li Jingxian spoke: "If I'm right, your people should just send back the collected information directly. The person who collected the information in front did not have the ability to analyze the information, so it's not surprising that there was no intelligence to send it back."

"Mr. Li, what does it mean?" Li Chengqian turned his head and asked.

"At present, there are no actual actions in both the Western Regions and Liaodong. They are just making arrangements in secret. Your people can't see any tricks. In other words, only when the east and west sides really start, your people will react. It's that simple." Li Jingxian Lao Shen said.

"Then why did the father know?" Although no one told Li Chengqian, according to the old man's performance in the morning court, Old Li should have known the trick, so he was puzzled why this situation occurred.

"This is the cleverness of His Majesty. From some clues, it is not possible for anyone to have any ability." Li Jingxian looked at Li Chengqian with a scrutiny. After a while, he said: "Have you ever paid attention to the border trade? Have you ever cared about the missions? Have you collected the internal affairs of neighboring countries? Have you never done these, how can you know what other countries want to do?"

"This..." Li Chengqian couldn't even say a word that was scolded by the old man. There was no doubt that he had never thought about these things.

In his opinion, it is enough to do his own domestic affairs well. Other countries have nothing to do with him. As long as they don’t come to invade everything, it doesn’t matter. It seems that this is not the case now.

"War is not a house. If you want to start a war, you must be well prepared, especially when several different countries want to unite. You must know that not every country has the strength of the Tang Dynasty to start a war at any time." Li Jingxian blushed when Li Chengqian said as if he was educating children.

Fortunately, I always feel that I am extremely intelligent. It turns out that this is just a little cleverness. If I want to manage the country well, I am afraid that it is not a little bit worse.

Li Chengqian was silent, and after a long time, he stood up and bowed to Li Jingxian to the end: "Thank you, Xiansheng, for your teachings, Chengqian has received the teachings!"

Li Jingxian sat upright and received a gift from Li Chengqian. Finally, he joked: "You are so cunning. If you use me, you are the eldest son. If you can't use me, you are the gentleman. If you don't use me, you are the gentleman. You really don't want to be a son!"

"Uh..." Li Chengqian, who was choked by the old man again, touched his nose awkwardly.

Fortunately, Li Jingxian didn't plan to do anything. After making fun of it, she waved her hand generously: "Okay, you should continue to arrange your affairs, don't care about me!"

I really don’t have to care? How could there be no such an old guy sitting here?

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes secretly, sat back to his seat, glanced at the people around him and explained: "The immortal chief just brought the news. If he was not wrong, there would be chaos in the Western Regions and Liaodong recently, and Xue Yantuo's side is the introductory point that attracted us to be deceived."

"So there will be no large army to be dispatched in this Battle of Mobei. There is only one single division of ten thousand people, and it can only win but not lose. Do you understand?"

"What?!"

"This, how is this possible?"

In an instant, Songtsen Gampo and others' faces changed, especially Heizi's face turned pale again, and he knelt down on one knee with a 'thump': "Your Highness, please punish your highness for your crime of injustice!"

"Forget it, I'm wrong with this matter." Li Chengqian waved his hand and sighed and said with a grudge: "I just hate this bastard Wu Chen. If he didn't leave with the old monk Xuanzang, he would probably receive some news, but... I won't break his legs when he comes back!"

"What's the use of saying this now? Why not study how to deal with it seriously?" Songtsen Gampo recovered from the shock just now and said seriously: "If it is really as you said, both the Western Regions and Liaodong are planning to invade, then you may not have any support when you go out this time. If the war is unfavorable, what do you plan to do?"

"What else can I do? I just said that I can only win this battle, not lose!" Li Chengqian said with a wry smile: "So this time I will take the group of people from the military academy. They all use prefabricated equipment, and I hope they can handle it."

"It's not appropriate, this matter is inappropriate." Songtsen Gampo shook his head firmly, denying Li Chengqian's idea.

"Why? Can these ten thousand new troops be defeated? Or is it true that I am afraid that other troops will be brought with me." Li Chengqian asked back. In his opinion, the new troops with 10,000 people could completely stop the attack of the Xueyantuo people.

"No, I'm not that the new army has no combat power. I mean your new army is too dependent on logistics." Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice: "If only Xue Yantuo in this war, not to mention that you brought 10,000 new army, even 5,000 might be enough. The Tang Dynasty has enough power to support you."

"But the reality is not the case now. If the war between the Western Front and the Eastern Front is really going to begin at the same time, your logistics will inevitably be affected. Without the support of gunpowder, there is no difference between your new ordnance and fire sticks. Not to mention ten thousand, your new army is probably not enough for the Xueyantuo people to kill."

Songtsen Gampo was a hero after all. He fought in the sand war at the age of twelve in Tubo. He had much more experience on the battlefield than Li Chengqian. Without thinking, he pointed out the shortcomings of muskets and cannons.

Under Songtsen Gampo's reminder, Li Chengqian's eyebrows were almost twisted into a lump, and he stared at the teacup in front of him and fell silent.
