Cen Wenben was appointed as the emperor's teacher and was ordered to assist in the government and supervise the country. When Li Ke was not in Chang'an, Cen Wenben's Jun Order was able to dispatch soldiers and generals. Under Cen Wenben's order and Li Ke's imperial edict, in just 20 days, 300,000 troops gathered outside Chang'an City one after another.

Although nearly half of the 300,000 troops were from the Chang'an Imperial Army and Guanzhong Prefecture Army, it was relatively easy to allocate them, and it was not surprising that they could prepare for war in just a few days. But in addition to the more than 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, more than 100,000 were temporarily dispatched from various places, and they could appear in Chang'an so quickly, which made people surprised.

At this time, everyone in the court gradually understood that Li Ke's intention to expedition in the West was probably long ago. This Western Expedition was just an excuse. In fact, the army of the Western Expedition had already begun to prepare as soon as Li Ke left Chang'an.

On Chang'an, Su Dingfang was ordered to be the general of the Western Expedition and lead the army to Tubo. At the same time, Chisang Yangdun, who was rushing all the way, also met the Emperor Li Ke of the Tang Dynasty in the Xidu City as he wished.

Chisang Yangdun was the right-hand man of Qi Zong Nongzan. He was the confidant of the emperor in the previous dynasty of Tubo. After Qi Zong Nongzan died of illness, he replaced Lu Dongzan and became the prime minister of Tubo. In Tubo, he was also considered a great figure above ten thousand people.

Chisang Yangdu was already so prominent in Tubo, but when he appeared in Xidu City and in front of Li Ke's central army camp, he was still extremely nervous and put himself in a low position, even lower than when he faced Qi Zong Nongzan.

Because he knew the purpose of his trip and who he was going to pay homage to, he was going to meet not only the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the gods who could decide whether to fight or reconcile with his hands and judge the fate of Tubo, and he could not make any mistakes.

"As a laborious general, the foreign minister Chisang Yangdun of Tubo, was ordered by Zanpu to pay homage to His Majesty Tiankhan of the Tang Dynasty." Chisang Yangdun stood in front of Li Ke's imperial tent, looked at Xi Junmai, who was standing in front of him, wearing armor, and leaned over to worship.

Xi Junmai looked down at Chisang Yangdun and asked, "Are you the Tubo prime minister Chisang Yangdun who asked for your Majesty a few times before?"

Chisang Yangdu was the Xidu City that he had come to Xidu City yesterday. After Chisang Yangdu arrived at Xidu City, he came to the Tang army camp to see Li Ke, but he was sent back without even entering the camp gate. Then he asked for it several times, and it took a lot of effort to get here. Therefore, Xi Junbui also had some impression of Chisang Yangdu.

Chisang Yangdun replied: "It's the foreign minister."

Xi Junmai looked at the sky, pointed to a clearing outside the tent, and said, "You have come early, and the sun is still high now. Your Majesty is discussing affairs with several generals in the tent. Please wait for a while."

Upon hearing this, Chisang Yangdun responded quickly: "I dare not disturb Your Majesty's major affairs. Since this is the case, the foreign ministers should wait outside."

After Chisang Yangdun finished speaking, he followed the direction Xi Junmai pointed, stood aside with his hands behind his back, and did not dare to have any anxious expression on his face.

Li Ke's trip to the west was under the guise of the Western Tour, so he did not mobilize a large army. Only 30,000 Northern Ya Imperial Guards came with him. So now the people camped inside and outside the Xidu City are the Northern Ya people. The ones who can guard Li Ke's tent are naturally the Right Dragon Martial Guards commanded by Xi Junmai.

The Right Dragon Martial Guard, the elite of the world, Chisang Yangdun stood outside the tent, while standing, glanced around unconsciously. With these few glances, he also strengthened his determination to seek peace. He firmly knew that no matter what price he paid, he could not go to a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty.

Because he saw the soldiers of the imperial guards, strong men and well-equipped, he had never seen such elite soldiers in Tubo before, even the personal guards around Zanpu were far away. When fighting with such elite soldiers, Chisang Yangdun could not find a place where Tubo could win.

Chisang Yangdun was thinking about peace outside the tent. Before he knew it, half an hour passed. Half an hour later, people came out from Li Ke's imperial tent one after another. Then, Xi Junmai stepped forward and led Chisang Yangdun into the tent.

"I just discussed the war with my generals in the tent, and told you to wait for a long time." Chisang Yangdun lowered his head, and as soon as he entered the tent, he heard a man's low voice.

The one who could speak like this in the tent was naturally the Emperor Tang Li Ke. Chisang Yangdun looked up in the direction of the sound and looked at Li Ke, and his heart suddenly became a little calmer.

In his early years, Chisang Yangdun went to Chang'an for an envoy and met Li Ke once. He was still very impressed by Li Ke's appearance, and he would not be surprised. What really surprised him was Li Ke's clothes.

Li Ke stood in front of Chisang Yangdun, not wearing the imperial robe that Chisang Yangdun remembered, but a bright light armor with a faint golden light.

When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty met with foreign envoys, he always wore court robes. Even if he was casual, he was wearing imperial casual clothes, but he never wore armor. Li Ke's outfit showed his fighting spirit towards Tubo. This trip, Chisang Yangdu was probably difficult.

"External minister Chi Sang Yangdun pays homage to Your Majesty." No matter what Chi Sang Yangdun thought in his heart, Li Ke was in front of him, and Chi Sang Yangdun immediately knelt down and bowed to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at Chisang Yangdun, stepped forward and helped him up, sighed: "Looking at the entire Tubo, there are no more than three people who can enter my eyes. You are one of them. I encountered this in Liangzhou and did not want to see anyone in Tubo again, but you have come and asked for a few times and I can't bear it."

Chisang Yangdun was helped up by Li Ke. Listening to Li Ke's words, he didn't know what he should feel. Li Ke was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was naturally extremely high in his evaluation of being able to give him such high praise. However, Li Ke also revealed a piece of news, that is, Li Ke didn't want to give Tubo a chance to speak out. But even so, Chisang Yangdu still wanted to say something.

Chisangyangdun said: "The foreign minister thanked His Majesty for his favor. The foreign minister came to explain to His Majesty on the order of Zanpu."

Chisang Yangdun is a prime minister of Tubo. It is the truth that he is respected in Tubo, but if it is just like this, it would not be that Li Ke would be so biased. Li Ke said more about inviting people to buy people's hearts. After all, if you are more confused in the future, you will still have to be an old minister who can control the situation and help him stabilize people's hearts.

Li Ke said: "The evidence for this matter is conclusive. No one can give up the possibility of mercy and tribute. The big picture should not be too busy."

Li Ke did not give Chisang Yangdun the opportunity to explain. As soon as he spoke, Li Ke blocked his mouth, disrupting his original thoughts, but he told him not to know how to continue talking.

Chisang Yangdun had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty clearly understands this, Zanpu doesn't know about it. Someone must have deliberately framed Zanpu to provoke disputes between the two countries."

Li Ke said: "I don't know whether Gongri Gongzan was wronged or not, but at this point, at least I have not seen the sincerity of Gongri Gongzan. You are a great figure in Tubo, but it cannot mean Gongri Gongzan. Since Gongri Gongzan cannot come here to explain to me in person, then I will invade and ask him personally."
