Chapter 176 Seeking to Capture the Seal 1

In the year of the disaster, it is indeed not appropriate to use knives and soldiers. Li Xian will not be clear about this truth, but Li Xian knows more that if he does not give Tubo a head-on blow at this time, it will cost dozens of times more to clean up the mess in the future. In addition, Li Xian also has his own selfishness, which is to take this opportunity to put his tentacles. Entering the army, I don't want to master much military power, but I want to earn some capital in order to establish prestige in the army and lay a foreshadowing for the future plan. Therefore, whether in public or private, this battle must be fought, not only to fight, but also to win!

"Xian'er, I'm very relieved that you have this heart for the country, but the situation is at present... Alas, even if my father wants to go to the army, I'm afraid he can't do it."

Although everyone was silent, their faces were full of disapproval. It was just that it was a matter of great importance. In the face of Li Xian, who was famous for his eloquence, everyone did not want to object before Gao Zong opened his mouth. Silence became the same choice of the ministers. In the end, Gao Zong really couldn't help it. He sighed and said with a regretful face.

"Father Mingjian, the child thinks that our army is in a more difficult situation, but the thief army is more difficult. Otherwise, Tubo children will not be in a hurry to sign a peace treaty with me on the occasion of the victory. It can be seen that its losses will not be under our army. Moreover, this war takes place in its territory. Under the spread of the war, the loss of its national strength will be huge. At the beginning of the war, it is the right time for cattle and sheep to breed. Under the lack of care, the loss of livestock is not small. At this time, when the cattle and sheep are ready to spend the winter, they must be carefully taken care of. If the war rises again, it will be difficult for the thieves to survive this winter. This is the reason that they have to fight!" Although Gao Zong had shown that he had no intention of fighting, Li Xian refused to give up and preached passionately.

"This..."

Although Gao Zong is cowardly, he is never unambiguous in the use of foreign soldiers. This point is enough to learn from Taizong's style. In the past few years, if it hadn't been for his body and bones, he had planned to personally visit Goguryeo. At this time, when he heard Li Xian's words quite reasonable, he couldn't help but be a little moved, but when he thought of the disaster in front of him, he just burned. The enthusiasm soon withered again, frowning and hesitating to make up his mind.

"Father, I can't wait. If I let the Tubo thief survive this winter, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take back the four towns of Anxi again. Once the Western Regions fall and the business road is broken, it will be the second to decline in my Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid that my prestige will also be affected. I can't ignore it, and I don't need to deploy a large army for this battle. Although I am not talented, I have been practicing martial arts for many years. I have asked myself that I can still win the battle. I am willing to serve my father in the battlefield and beg my father's approval!" Li Xian's ability to observe words was extraordinary. He only looked at Gao Zong's face and knew that he had been moved, which fiercely added a fire.

"Your Majesty, this matter is serious and can't be ignored. It's better to discuss it again."

Gao Zong was moved by Li Xian's impassionedness. He really had the intention to complete Li Xian. Unfortunately, he didn't wait for him to open his mouth. Wu Hou suddenly interrupted from the side and immediately beat Gao Zong's words back into his stomach.

"What Mei Niang said is reasonable, so let's discuss this matter first. All the ministers and workers will talk about this matter. I want to think about it carefully." Gao Zong has never had much resistance to Wuhou's suggestion. In addition, he was also worried about the prospect of this war in his heart, so he meditated and left a word, stood up and turned to the apse.

Damn old thief woman, you will die if you don't talk too much! Li Xian was very angry with the horizontal intervention of the Empress Wu, but when he looked at Gao Zong's departure, he had no choice but to have a virtual greeting with Hao Chujun and others, and then he went out of the palace and went back home...

Things couldn't be settled in a good way. Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it was far from being depressed. After all, Gao Zong did not make a final decision. Things still have a lot to do, at least in Li Xian's opinion. Of course, Li Xian also knows very well that he wants to get the handsome seal of the expedition smoothly. It's not an easy thing. Before the final decision, there are countless jobs to be done, and the most important thing is to convince Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke is not an ordinary person. His ancestor is Jiang Wei, a famous general of the State of Shu in the Three Kingdoms. His family has been a general for generations. His ancestor was the former governor of Qinzhou in the Sui Dynasty. His father is Jiang Baoyi, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty. He is a high position of General Zuo Wuwei. He is a family of generals. He has served in the Hexi Corridor for a long time. There have been countless wars, and he has made great contributions. Although he has just been transferred to the court as an official, it can be said that as soon as he entered the dynasty, he ranked first among the courtiers. Although he rarely interfered in the government because of his unstable foothold, Gaozong was very fond of him, but when there was a further statement, and there was no rejection, it was not too much to say that it was a word. Obviously, if Jiang Ke could If you agree to send troops, the possibility of persuading Gao Zong will greatly increase. Li Xian has enough confidence in this, just because Li Xian knows very well that Jiang Ke is determined to fight, and he is not a person who is greedy and afraid of death. Of course, now Wu Hou is also involved in this matter. It is hard to say whether Jiang Ke dares to speak upright, but anyway, go to Jiang's house. The last trip was inevitable.

The Jiang family has been a senior official for generations, and Jiang Ke himself is on the left. Naturally, his family is not bad. However, Jiang Ke himself is not very luxurious, and his mansion is not very particular about it. Not to mention that compared with the top rich family, which is often more than 100 mu of mansions, it is quite inferior to ordinary rich families. It is not too simple. Don't Not to mention, the two scarlet gates with speckled paint make people feel extremely shabby when they look at it. There is no atmosphere that the Prime Minister's mansion should have. It looks like a broken house, but Li Xian, who is waiting outside the door, does not dare to be petty, just because Li Xian is very keen to find that whether it is accompanied. The porter's steward standing next to them with a smiling face or standing at the gate with expressionless faces, are all elite men. They are full of unconcealed toughness and blood and evil spirits. Obviously, they are all people who can use such strong people as servants. Who dares to underestimate them?

"The last general Jiang Ye can see His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."

Just as Li Xian sighed that Jiang's house could have a tough man as a servant, a tall young man walked out of the door of the house. As soon as he saw Li Xian's face, he was stunned with a slight shock, and then walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and respectfully saluted.

"General Jiang doesn't have to be polite. Can your ancestors be in the house?"

Li Xian did his homework before he came. He knew that Jiang Ke was Jiang Ke's only grandson in front of him. Jiang Ke had two sons, but they all died in the battlefield early. He had only one grandson under his knees. He was one year older than Li Xian. Although he hung the title of a cavalry captain (from the fifth grade), he had never been an official. In his previous life, this Zi joined the army soon after Jiang Ke's death. Unfortunately, he had not yet emerged, so he became a benevolent on the battlefield to recover the four towns of Anxi, so that Jiang Ke's family was extinct. Although Li Xian did not know this person in his previous life, he had heard of this man's bravery. At this time, he saw that his tall and burly body was not below him. With a great impression, he raised his hand with a smile and asked gently.

"This..."

While Li Xian has a good impression on Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye also has a friendship with the long-known Li Xian. After listening to Li Xian's question, he couldn't say what he originally intended to say.

"What's the inconvenience of Jiang Xiang?"

Li Xian only looked at Jiang Ye's face and immediately knew that Jiang Ke obviously did not want to meet himself at this time. However, Li Xian was thick-skinned and did not say any taboos. He asked knowingly with a smile.

"The ancestor said that he was itchy."

Jiang Ye is obviously also a wonderful person. After a smile, he gave a wonderful answer.

Aha, this guy is so funny! As soon as Li Xian heard such a wonderful answer, he couldn't help laughing loudly. Jiang Yeba blinked his eyes and laughed endlessly. He saw that the servants on the side were all confused.

"Brother Jiang, Xiao Wang has a cure for the disease. I don't know if Brother Jiang believes it or not?"

After Li Xian laughed, he looked straight and said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please!"

Jiang Ye did not answer Li Xian's obviously funny words. He just smiled knowingly and simply waved his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"Brother Jiang, please!"

Li Xian didn't talk much nonsense. After waving his hand and signaling, he walked into the door of Jiang's house accompanied by Jiang Ye. He crossed the alley all the way to the second hall. He just turned to the wall and saw that Jiang Ke had already stood in front of the hall waiting. Obviously, the old man was afraid that his grandson had long known that his grandson could not stop Li Xian's driving. .

"See His Royal Highness the King of Zhou. The old man is itchy, and he can't welcome him from afar. Please forgive me."

As soon as he saw Li Xian and Jiang Ye coming over, Jiang Ke first stared at Jiang Ye with a hippie smile, and then bowed to Li Xian after plastic surgery, and his tone was flat and slightly helpless.

"Jiang Xiang doesn't have to be like this. Xiao Wang took the liberty to come to disturb Jiang Xiang and Qingxiu. It's really a crime. However, it's a matter of ten thousand years of great career. Xiao Wang has to listen. Please forgive me." Li Xian returned a salute with a smile, almost coming straight to the point.

"Your Highness, please take your seat."

Jiang Ke is a famous resourceful and handsome talent. How could he not know the true intention of Li Xian? However, he was obviously quite scrupulous about this matter. He did not pick up Li Xian's words, but quietly turned his body and waved his hand to signal Li Xian to sit in the hall.

"Jiang Xiang, please!"

Li Xian knew that Jiang Ke was cautious, and he didn't expect to get Jiang Ke's full support as soon as he came up. However, Li Xian dared to come to Jiang's house. Naturally, he was ready for a protracted war. Instead, he didn't mind Jiang Ke's cold expression. He smiled slightly. After a polite sentence, he strode to the hall...
