Behind Li Gesang were the general manager Tie Ning, Dharma King Xinyue, Prince Fuhu and other important figures in Nanzhao.

Unexpectedly, they all came to Chengdu at this time. Tang Chao was overjoyed and hugged them one by one and told them the reasons for their departure.

This angered Wen Jiang next to her. She threw her pigtails out with a roar, entangled Prince Fuhu, and scolded: "What are you doing? You're from a grown-up man's family, cuddling and cuddling. What does it look like?”

Fu Hu was stunned, knowing that this girl of his had a weird personality, so he untied the whip from his body and laughed twice: "Haha, girl, it's my fault,"

Only then did Tang Chao look at his most beautiful wife with some embarrassment. She had not seen him for two years, and she had become much more charming. His three wives and one concubine, except for Qin'er, were all She has given birth to a child to herself.

Wen Jiang looked at Tang Chao angrily for a long time, then suddenly rushed up and hugged him.

Tang Chao sighed in his heart. With this woman's character, it seemed that she would have to suffer a lot in public. Who knew that Wen Jiang would burst into tears at this moment, drop the whip, and beat her with her pink fist? Tang Dynasty's chest: "You have no conscience. Where have you been after these two years?"

Although Li Lian next to her was not as fierce as Wen Jiang, when she heard these words, tears still flowed down like pearls, and her clothes were wet in an instant.

Lang Zhengxuan laughed: "Brother, we'd better wait for Tang Chao in the living room first, otherwise, Tang Chao will suffer much more."

After saying this, he burst out laughing. Li Gesang smiled elegantly and said, "What a nonsense. These two girls are really making a fool of themselves. Okay, let's all go in."

When Li Lian saw everyone going in, she sobbed and fell into Tang Chao's arms, but she cried even harder.

The Tang Dynasty hugged the two princesses and felt extremely guilty. In the past two years, they had fought in Lingnan and Anxi respectively. They were afraid of arousing Li Longji's suspicion, so they did not dare to take the two girls with them, which made these two noble princesses feel extra special. lonely.

You know, for ordinary people, marrying a princess is already a big deal, but the Tang Dynasty actually married four princesses.

Of course, not even everyone knew that the most honorable concubine who usually served him tea and water was actually Princess Jinzhi, who came from Turks. However, the Tang Dynasty knew that paper could not contain fire, and had secretly treated Xinling The princess and Qin'er told each other to avoid resentment between the two girls.

Xin Linggong and other family members have already had Shewa and Zhuan's Five Tigers cooking, and they have been placed in the Jiannan Army, and all the food and grass have been properly arranged.

With great difficulty, the Tang Dynasty finally calmed down the two princesses and came to the meeting hall of Chengdu Xingyuan.

As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere was very serious.

Because, all the generals above the general level entered the hall under Sheva's summons, including more than ten senior generals brought by Li Gesang.

Although there were only about a hundred people sitting in the meeting hall that could accommodate a thousand people, the air above the camp was still filled with a strong murderous aura.

Yes, it was murderous intent. After all, the murderous intent of these more than a hundred people was very strong, and could withstand the main force of at least two battalions, or even three battalions, out of An Lushan's five personal guard battalions.

Therefore, this is a terrifying military force. Once it is condensed into murderous intent, it will be extremely powerful and murderous.

Tang Chao walked in quietly, forgetting the tenderness just now in an instant.

There is a vacancy in the leadership position.

Tang Chao hesitated for a moment, then sat down gently.

But in the eyes of everyone present, he was as heavy as Mount Tai.

As soon as he sat down, Li Gesang spoke: "Son, we arrived here just one day ago, because my spies in Anlushan's army reported to me that Anlushan raised troops in Fanyang five days ago and killed Rush to Luoyang. After I confirmed that the news was accurate, I immediately held a military meeting in Dali and asked all soldiers to get ready and march to Jiannan Border Pass to meet your army and send troops immediately. Now, the troops I am leading Fifty thousand troops are stationed fifteen miles southwest of here, and I and many generals are waiting for your return to discuss raising troops."

His tone is slow and sonorous, and he has a royal demeanor.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Tang Chao, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Obviously, Li Gesang regards his status as equal to his own. Although he calls him "child", in fact, he respects himself, does not put himself above himself, and does not ask himself to surrender to him at all. Meaning.

In fact, in the past few days, the Tang Dynasty had already made a certain decision about Li Gesang and the Nanzhao monarchs and ministers, that is, they should neither be humble nor arrogant, and must not lose their command power. Otherwise, he could not guarantee whether he would be able to control the situation.

He knew that with the Black Iron Sword in his hand, his martial arts would probably be invincible. However, in battle, it was not just about showing off his bravery and leading the army, but also about strategy, so his martial arts had little effect.

People like Zhuge Liang were just a scholar, but they frightened the state of Wei, not because of their martial arts, but because of their outstanding strategies.

In the past few years, he also read Cao Cao's "Meng De's Art of War", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Qi's Art of War" and the works of Li Jing, the founder of the Tang Dynasty. Gradually, he learned more about marching formations. know.

However, he still believes that real power must not be left aside.

In fact, when he returned to the Jiannan Army and saw Li Gesang, he was a little afraid that he would do what Liu Bang did back then, so he quietly seized his military power. After all, he didn't, obviously not.

Sheva was absolutely loyal to himself, and the Tang Dynasty had confidence in this.

When the Tang Dynasty thought of this, he felt relieved and said immediately: "Father, I also think that when An Lushan raises troops, it will be our opportunity for Nanzhao to launch a large-scale attack on the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it is This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I am sure we will raise our troops. I just don’t know when to raise our troops and where to attack first. I also want to hear my father’s opinion.”

Li Gesang immediately responded: "I thought that when we raise the troops at the fastest possible time, we would march directly into Chang'an, so that Li Longji would be attacked from both sides. It would be best to capture Chang'an first when the time comes."

He had obviously been waiting for this sentence for a long time. There was a sense of resentment in it. Tang Chao immediately understood him when he thought of his grievances with Li Longji. Perhaps, he had been holding this breath in his chest for twenty years. , it’s finally time to come out.

His goal seemed straightforward, to force his troops directly into Chang'an, capture Li Longji, and let him have a taste of being ravaged.

Tang Chao was silent for a long time, and said: "Father, your plan is very good, but have you ever thought about it? An Lushan is powerful, with three times the military strength of Tang Chao. Once we help him conquer the two capitals, even if it is short-lived, After occupying Chang'an, it was difficult to resist the attack of the An Army. During this period, Hao'er personally went to the An Lushan Army to assassinate him, but failed. If he could not obtain an alliance agreement with the An Army, I am afraid that Once Chang'an and Luoyang are defeated, we will make wedding clothes for An Lushan."

Li Gesang was shocked and said after a while: "An Lushan is so powerful."

"Yes," the Tang Dynasty nodded solemnly, "An Lushan had hundreds of thousands of troops. This time he attacked the Tang Dynasty, and used nearly 200,000 of them to attack the Tang Dynasty, including Shi Siming, Tian Chengsi, and Hua Ming. Qing, the transformation masters, helped him, and nearly forty masters of the Anjin level were used by him. Moreover, this is what I have seen. I don’t know if he occasionally has hidden forces, and An Lushan has been a long-term He leads troops and often fights against Turks, Uighurs, Tibetans, Dashi, etc., and his forward force is sharp. I estimate that Luoyang will be captured in less than forty days. If we continue to help, we may be hunted down by the An army in the future. "

Lang Zhengxuan looked nervous and looked at Tang Chao: "Commander Tang means to hold his troops temporarily,"

The Tang Dynasty said resolutely: "No, how could I miss this great opportunity? I thought that my father would lead his army to Jiannan, occupy all the land along Nanzhao, seize resources, and consolidate our Nanzhao. You know , Although Li Longji is passively being beaten now, once he adjusts, the power of counterattack will be amazing. We took Chang'an in time, and we may be able to resist this counterattack. No matter which side, Tang Dynasty or Anlu Mountain, wins, for us, One thing remains unchanged, and that is to ensure that Nanzhao and nearby territories are more consolidated. Hypothetically speaking, even if we occupy Henan, all parties are competing for it, and it will be difficult to hold on. It is better to be in Nanzhao, which is close to us. The country will first occupy Jiannan, and advance step by step. Following the example of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he first occupied Hanzhong. If he advances, he can attack, and if he retreats, he can defend. My son, I will lead an army of 100,000 to attack Chang'an. Once Chang'an is broken, there will be no need to send out all the troops again. Late,"

Li Gesang's face was full of doubts: "My son, the garrison of Chang'an is close to ten thousand, and you, if you attack with one hundred thousand troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Indeed, not only Li Gesang, but also many other generals became worried when they heard what Tang Chao said.

Tang Chao smiled slightly: "You may think too highly of Li Longji. I'm afraid you don't understand the situation of the Tang Dynasty. Before leaving Chang'an, I have inquired clearly that the Tang Dynasty can only use 100,000 forbidden troops, but Ge Shu Han returned from thousands of miles away without bringing many troops. Li Longji had already sent 70% of the Forbidden Army's strength to Luoyang, leaving Chang'an empty. Moreover, the Forbidden Army was so pampered that it no longer had much combat effectiveness. Except for Ma Zhengzhang's Shence Army, there was not much In terms of actual combat strength, I am attacking with an army of 100,000 people. It is believed that the enemy is outnumbered, so it is not difficult to break through Chang'an."

These words were full of strong confidence. Hearing Li Gesang nod secretly, he thought to himself, let him consolidate the rear first and then let him attack the fortress. Once the attack fails, I can also take the opportunity to send troops. Then he will never be found again. The excuse was that at this time, he was already vaguely worried that the Tang Dynasty was afraid that he would achieve great success and that he would miss the opportunity.

"Okay, that's it. You lead an army of 100,000 and pretend to be defeated in the battle with Nanzhao and return to Chang'an to take advantage of the trouble. I will occupy Jiannan first."

"Okay, just follow the order and ask Secretary Guan Xiu to write a letter. You can send it to An Lushan's army in person. You must meet An Lushan in person and express my intention to attack from the north and south with him."

"Yes," Zhuan Xin obeyed the order and left.

That night, the Tang Dynasty allowed the five wives to enjoy the passion of the grown man, making them so satisfied that they wanted to die.
