Songtsen Gampo asked excitedly: "Zajigun, are you sure that Princess Changle's son-in-law, Rongguo Duke Su Cheng, led his troops to the expedition?"

Zhajigon nodded repeatedly and said, "Zanpu, I am very sure that Duke Rong Guo Su Cheng led his troops to the battle! It is Duke Rong Guo Su Cheng who made the world's best wine and made muskets and cannons. He is definitely not someone with the same name and surname."

Songtsen Gampo was finally completely sure that it was Su Cheng who led his troops to the war, not someone with the same name and surname. He did not expect that Li Shimin was willing to let Su Cheng lead his troops to the war.

The Tang Dynasty was not without other famous generals, so why did it force Su Cheng to go to war? Shouldn’t Su Cheng be offered up?

However, this should be thanked by Li Shimin. If Su Cheng had been staying in Chang'an, how could he have the chance to covet Su Cheng?

When Songtsen Gampo thought of this, he was overjoyed.

Just now, he was thinking about how to defeat the Tang army and how to teach the Tang army a severe lesson so that the Tang Dynasty would not dare to send troops again, but now he suddenly felt that the outcome of this battle was actually no longer important.

If Su Cheng can be captured alive, it would be fine even if he was defeated in this battle!

After defeating this battle, you can continue to send troops to capture Tuyuhun and capture Su Cheng alive. It will be worth it.

Since Zhang Liang, the commander of the Tang army, was able to kill the Tang army in the last battle, it was not impossible to capture Su Cheng alive.

Songtsen Gampo walked excitedly with his hands on his back. Now his strategic goal has changed from defeating the Tang army to capturing Su Cheng alive.

But to capture Su Cheng alive, you must figure out where Su Cheng is!

Songtsen Gampo pondered: "The Tang Dynasty dispatched four famous generals at one time and could not be all in the army. It must be divided into troops and lead their own troops. Then what army will Su Cheng be in? Where is the marching route? The spy who must lurk in Longyou must investigate it clearly!"

After hearing this, Zhajigun hurriedly said, "Zanpu, I have found out!"

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You have found out? Zhajigun, you have made great contributions to this envoy!"

Zajigun was very excited when he heard this. He worked hard day and night and rushed back quickly just for this moment!

Zhajigun hurriedly said: "Although the firearms of Shenji Camp are powerful, the roads of Tuyuhun are difficult to move, and artillery is not easy to transport, so the Emperor of Tang Dynasty decided to let Su Cheng lead Shenji Camp to station grain and guard the food and grass."

Songtsen Gampo was stunned when he heard this, and then pondered: "Although guarding food and grass is a waste of energy for Shenji Camp, the cannons are too bulky and are indeed difficult to transport."

"So, Zajikun, the news you inquired is very likely to be true!"

Zhajigon hurriedly said, "Zanpu, the news I inquired is definitely true. Princess Changle is already pregnant. Originally, the palace did not want Su Cheng to lead the army to fight, but Longyou was already in panic, so the emperor asked Su Cheng to lead the Shenji Camp to Longyou to calm people's hearts."

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "That's true, the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition destroyed Goguryeo, and the names of Su Cheng and Shenji Camp have become famous all over the world. They are legendary and can indeed calm people's hearts."

Zhajigun asked respectfully: "Does Zanpu want to capture Su Cheng alive? But Su Cheng hid behind to guard the food and grass, and it is not easy to capture Su Cheng alive."

Songtsen Gampo nodded and said, "Su Cheng hid behind to guard the food and grass. It is indeed not easy to capture him alive. However, things have two sides. Su Cheng is hiding there, which is better than not finding Su Cheng everywhere. Just find out the place where the Tang Dynasty stocks grain. Su Cheng is already in my control, and it is hard to fly."

Zhajigon hurriedly said, "Zanpu is wise, although Su Cheng is smart, he is young and knowledgeable. I am afraid he never dreamed that Zanpu wanted to capture him alive. When the army arrived, he could only surrender and use it for Zanpu!"

After hearing Zajigun's words, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but feel excited. He seemed to have seen the scene of Su Cheng being captured.

He seemed to see glass everywhere, jars of spirits, mighty cannons, a golden road...

Taking a deep breath, Songtsen Gampo finally calmed down a little more. Now there is another question in front of him, that is, where Su Cheng was guarding the food and grass.

Songtsen Gampo asked, "Zajigun, do you know where Su Cheng is guarding the food and grass?"

Zhajigun was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Zanpu, this minister did not find out. I am an envoy, and those Tang people are guarding against me."

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. What Zhajigun said was the same. If Zhajigun really found out where Su Cheng was guarding food and grass, then he would have doubted it.

This should be the military secret of the Tang Dynasty. Even ordinary Tang ministers don’t know about it. How could Zhajigun find out?

Songtsen Gampo nodded slightly and smiled, "It's normal that you can't inquire. This is the military strategy of the Tang Dynasty, but it's a military secret. How could it be easily leaked? As the saying goes, before the troops move, the Tang Dynasty will definitely mobilize a large amount of food and grass to Longyou. With the artillery of the Shenji Camp, it is so easy to identify. Therefore, the secret spies in Longyou can definitely find out where Su Cheng was guarding the food and grass!"

When Zhajigun saw that Zanpu was not blamed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Zanpu was right. It should not be difficult for the spies in Longyou to find out where Su Cheng was guarding the food and grass.

In his opinion, the difficulty was to go deep behind enemy lines to capture Su Cheng alive.

So, Zhajigun hesitated for a moment and asked respectfully: "Zanpu, is Su Cheng really that important? Although the artillery is powerful, it is too bulky and difficult to transport on the plateau. Moreover, the Tubo people are brave and good at fighting and cannot use artillery!"

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help laughing and said, "Your gaze is too short-sighted. Su Cheng has some ability to turn into gold. Su Cheng can bring us Tubo a steady stream of wealth!"

"Article is a powerful weapon for siege and deciding villages. In the field, our warriors are brave and good at fighting, of course they cannot use artillery, but when siege, they need artillery, otherwise how many warriors in the world will be more than one?"

"Look at the Tang Dynasty, there are cities everywhere. Nowadays, cannons are even installed on the cities. But what if we, Tubo, also have cannons? Then the city of Tang Dynasty is useless."

"How rich the heartland of the Central Plains is! How gentle and moist the women in the Central Plains are! Don't you want them?"

"If there was Su Cheng, one day, I, Songtsen Gampo, will destroy the Tang Dynasty and occupy that vast, prosperous and rich land!"

Zajigun couldn't help feeling excited when he heard this. He had just returned from the Tang Dynasty, but now when he closed his eyes, the bustling and lively scenes of Chang'an and those beautiful and gentle Tang women would appear in his mind.

What a wonderful thing it would be if it could occupy the Central Plains in the future!
