The city of Luoshe looks a bit desolate in autumn.

The low houses are lined up, and you can see the endless sky when you look up. There are snow-capped mountains in the distance, and an eagle is flying under the clouds.

This is the capital of Tubo.

A team of cavalry slowly passed by the city.

Chen Wude and Zheng Yang squatted on the side and looked at the cavalry.

"Tubo has saved a lot of money, grain and people in recent years, and I don't know where he wants to attack."

Zheng Yang is dark and looks like a local citizen.

The short and strong Chen Wude looked like a kind person, but he spoke harshly, "I heard that the Tang Dynasty has now deployed heavy troops in the Diezhou area, which is close to the Tang Dynasty and is convenient for mobilizing large troops. Therefore, Tubo dared not go to Tuyuhun again, and it was mostly changed to Anxi area. But I think the Tang Dynasty would not be afraid."

Zheng Yang sniffed, "I'm not afraid. I heard something a while ago... Asina Helu raided Luntai and could not be broken for three days. He was then scared away by the reinforcements in Tingzhou. The nobles of Tubo were cursing Asina Helu, saying that he was a waste."

"Maybe you see the princess?" Chen Wude asked suddenly.

Zheng Yang shook his head, "I don't know. Tubo was grinning at the Tang Dynasty, and the princess's situation became more and more embarrassing. No one listened to the dissuasion, and he felt distressed if he didn't persuade him. Alas! Old Chen, if you have a daughter, can you bear to marry her out?"

Chen Wude shook his head.

...

As time goes by, Princess Wencheng's appearance remains the same, but there are a few fine lines on the corners of her eyes when she smiles.

She stood by the window and looked into the distance. A maid came in. Seeing her back, she sighed softly, "Princess, Da Xiang said she didn't have time to come."

Princess Wencheng turned around and said, "He has a plan. He knew that I would definitely ask him about the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, so he could only fool me. He used to fool him, but now he has lost his mind to fool him."

The maid bowed.

Princess Wencheng sat at the desk, picked up the tea pot and said, "There are not too much tea."

The sound of footsteps came from outside, and a maid came in, her face flushed happily, "Princess, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is here."

Princess Wencheng raised her eyes and said, "Come here soon."

Not long after, an official came, and several men were following him.

"The Ministry of Rites's official side must have met the princess."

Fang Dezheng looked up, his face full of wind and frost.

"Thank you all the way."

Wencheng stood up, "How about the emperor?"

Fang Dezheng said, "Your Majesty is healthy and the prince is smart."

Wen Cheng said with relief: "I am very happy that the Tang Dynasty can be stable in this way."

Fang Dezheng said, "Your Majesty said that the princess went to Tubo for the Tang Dynasty. She always felt unbearable..."

Two Tubo maids appeared outside.

The man behind Fang Dezheng whispered: "There are Tubo people."

Fang Dezheng said loudly, "Dare you ask the princess, how respectful to the princess?"

The two Tubo maids' expressions changed slightly.

Wencheng nodded, "It's quite respectful."

Just ignore it.

Fang Dezheng knew in his heart, "Your Majesty said that if the princess is willing to return, the Tang Dynasty will accomplish this at all costs. If the princess is unwilling, then she will be more comfortable. If anyone dares to disrespect the princess, the revenge of the Tang Dynasty will make those people regret it!"

Wencheng's eyes were a little warmer.

She ignored the two Tubo maids, "When I got married, the Tang Dynasty was struggling out of the ruins, and Tubo was strong at that time and was constantly ready to move. At that time, I was wondering when the Tang Dynasty could make me feel peaceful."

She looked at the two helpless maids, "It's today!"

Large chariots were pulled in one by one, and there were Tubo people next to them supervising them, for fear of having made some contraband.

"This is tea. When I learned that the princess likes to drink tea, Duke Zhao made out all the good teas he had collected at home."

A few cans of top-quality tea were delivered to the table. Wencheng opened a can and the tea fragrance was everywhere.

"Duke Zhao? Duke Zhao is not..."

Changsun Wuji's body is already cold, where did Duke Zhao come from?

Fang Dezheng said: "The princess doesn't know that there is another Duke of Zhao in the Tang Dynasty. Jia Ping'an, the former Duke of Lingling County, was promoted to Duke of Zhao for his military merits."

"Jia Ping'an, this name is well-known."

Wencheng smiled and grabbed some tea leaves in his palm, "The Tuyuhun people are most afraid of him, and they also heard that he has some reputation in Anxi."

Fang Dezheng smiled and said, "The princess doesn't know that after Liaodong was pacified, Duke Zhao crossed the sea and destroyed the Japanese."

Wen Cheng was surprised, "It turns out to be a general."

"A while ago, Duke Zhao sent an envoy to the Xi tribe and the Khitan. The two launched a rebellion and were destroyed by Duke Zhao. Now the place in Liaodong is completely stable."

Wen Cheng's eyes glowed, "Is Liaodong actually stable? Such a great Tang Dynasty did not need to arrange a large army in Liaodong... No wonder I said why Lu Dongzan was so honest in recent years, and did not send troops to attack Tuyuhun."

She said: "Where are such a famous general now?"

Fang Dezheng said: "Princess, Duke Zhao is now serving as the Minister of War."

"Have you never been a prime minister?" Wencheng felt that the emperor was a little stingy.

Fang Dezheng smiled bitterly, "The princess doesn't know that Duke Zhao is only thirty years old, but he is too young for the prime minister."

"Only thirty?"

Wen Cheng praised: "The young man is promising, which reminds me of Li Jing and others back then. However, Duke Zhao is younger. In the next thirty years, let's see this person fighting."

After asking about the situation with each other, Fang Dezheng said: "This time, His Majesty ordered the emperor to bring several medical officials to treat the princess."

"It's been a labor."

After some diagnosis and treatment, several medical officers decided.

"The princess is healthy, but she should move more and it is best to take a walk without any trouble."

Fang Dezheng and others surrendered.

Wencheng was reading with the list.

The convoy brought a lot of things this time, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

She even saw a box of Shujin.

"Princess, the big picture is here."

Lu Dongzan?

Wencheng put the list on the table.

Lu Dongzan came in to salute.

"I've seen Zanmon."

Wencheng sat there and nodded slightly, "What's the matter with Da Xiang?"

The messenger is about to arrive, and Lu Dongzan will come again...

Lu Dongzan smiled and said, "The weather has been good in recent years, and it is quite stable everywhere, which is very rare. I am wondering how long this stable situation can last."

Wen Cheng said calmly: "What does Da Xiang mean? For the Tang Dynasty, he never had ambitions for Tubo. Instead, Tubo was eyeing the Tang Dynasty and attacking it many times."

Lu Dong exclaimed: "There are many voices inside Tubo, and I cannot suppress them one by one. Many times I can't help myself. But when I get old, I just want to assist Zanpu..."

Wencheng smiled, "It's good that the two countries are in harmony."

Lu Dongzan looked at the list on the table, but couldn't see clearly, "I was wondering if I could go on a mission to Chang'an again to pay homage to Emperor Taizong's tomb. When I return, I would probably be able to leave this world with peace of mind."

Wen Cheng said lightly: "Da Xiang is healthy, why do you say this? But if Da Xiang wants to go on a mission to Chang'an, the emperor will definitely be happy."

Lu Dongzan then said goodbye.

After he left, the maid asked in a low voice: "Princess, why does Da Xiang's words mean a heroic spirit?"

Wencheng picked up the list, "The real hero never cared about his age, and he still remembered his responsibilities even before he died. And Lu Dongzan's duty was to be strong Tubo. No word he said just now would be trustworthy."

Wencheng put down the list, "I can write a letter and ask the messenger to take it back to Chang'an. Lu Dongzan hopes that I can convey this to Chang'an. He wants to paralyze the Tang Dynasty. In this way, Tubo will probably take action in the past few years."

...

"For the Tang Dynasty, after the Turks were crippled, Tubo became the number one enemy."

Master Jia went to the palace to introduce the current situation to his nephew, which was the emperor's request.

Li Hong thought carefully, "But the Turks can never be destroyed. This time Xue Rengui went there, it is unlikely that it will be completely wiped out."

"Don't think about extermination." Jia Ping'an said: "Without the Turks, there will be other forces. As long as that piece of land can support people, countless tribes will continue to surge out of that land. They will fight and annex each other, and eventually a powerful tribe will appear, such as the Huns and later the Turks. They will also appear in the future..."

"How can we avoid it?" Li Hong thought about it for a long time without an answer.

Jia Ping'an said: "The only way is to keep the Central Plains strong and put the danger in its infancy."
