The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Your Highness, good news, great news. Two days later, Niu Jinda ran to Zhao Chen's tent with excitement on his face.

No need for Niu Jindado to say, Zhao Chen also knew what happened.

There must have been internal fighting in the capital of Gaochang, otherwise Niu Jinda wouldn't be so excited.

Uncle Niu, what news makes you so excited? Zhao Chen did not take the initiative to reveal it, but instead asked Niu Jinda with a smile.

Your Highness, you don't know that Luo Xi is dead.

Luoxi is dead? Although he had been prepared for it, Zhao Chen was a little surprised when he heard the news that Luoxi was dead.

Zhao Chen only thought that Songtsen Gampo would seize Luo Xi's military power, and Luo Xi would naturally not be willing.

As a result, both sides will inevitably fight among themselves.

But Losi is dead now, which means that things will inevitably develop as he expected.

If Tubo did not fight among themselves, the capital of Gaochang would have been given away in vain.

Who is in power in the Tubo army now? Zhao Chen asked Niu Jinda.

It's Hou Junji! Niu Jinda was silent for a moment before saying Hou Junji's name.

Because even Niu Jinda did not expect that the military power of the Tubo army would fall into the hands of Hou Junji.

You must know that Hou Junji defected from the Tang Dynasty.

As long as Songtsen Gampo was not a fool, he should not have handed over military power to an outsider so easily.

But Songtsen Gampo actually did this, which completely surprised Niu Jinda.

The person who took over Luoxi's military power was actually Hou Junji? Zhao Chen looked surprised.

It both makes sense and feels weird.

Your Highness, does Hou Junji have ulterior motives? Seeing as he has mastered the Tibetan army now, he may not have been planning this all along.

Judging from the fact that he has been wandering outside for such a long time,

This is the first time Hou Junji has obtained military power. I am worried that he will do something different. Niu Jinda thought for a while, then slowly said to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen just listened to Niu Jinda and didn't say anything.

Regardless of whether Hou Junji is the commander-in-chief of the Tubo military, there will still be a battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

There is absolutely no way to avoid this.

What Zhao Chen wants to know most now is whether Hou Junju is commanding all the Tibetan troops, or just a part of them.

By the way, Your Highness, I almost forgot to tell you something. After Songtsen Gampo killed Luoxi, nearly half of Luoxi's army defected out of fear of being implicated. I guess Hou Junji is now preparing to deal with those rebels. Army, this time may be our opportunity. Niu Jinda said suddenly.

This news was a complete surprise for Zhao Chen.

Half of the Tibetan army defected, and Hou Junji now controls half of the army, so what else does he have to worry about.

Now he is just waiting for Hou Junji to fight with the defecting Tibetan troops, and he will fish in troubled waters again.

Uncle Niu, please immediately send an order to have people closely monitor the movements in the capital of Gaochang. Once Hou Junji leads his troops out of the city, come and report to me immediately.

Your Highness, don't worry, I have arranged for someone to do this. Niu Jinda nodded quickly and said.

…

A few more days passed, and there seemed to be no movement at all in Gaoshang Capital.

It is even thought that the Tibetan army has given up the idea of ​​continuing the attack.

For several days, no useful news came.

Niu Jinda and Li Jing were both a little anxious. If this continues, they

How long do we have to hold on here?

It doesn't matter to them, but what about Zhao Chen?

He can't stay here for the rest of his life!

General Niu, there is no movement from the Tibetan army now, and we cannot allow His Highness to stay here forever. Why don't we advise His Highness to return to Chang'an.

With the two of us guarding here, even if the Tibetan army attacks again, we can prepare calmly. Li Jing looked at Niu Jinda and thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

After all, Zhao Chen is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the emperor has returned to Chang'an, Zhao Chen should not stay here anymore.

I think what you said is correct, but the question now is whether His Highness will agree to go back?

His Highness told us to give up the capital city of Gaochang. His Highness naturally wanted to take it back by himself. The idea of ​​letting him go back now may not work. Niu Jinda shook his head. He felt that Li Jing's idea was unreliable.

In other words, it simply doesn't work.

Then what should we do? We can't let His Highness stay here forever.

I recently received some news about His Highness King Jin. Although His Highness Jin is young, he has a rather cowardly character.

But the people around him are not nice.

What do you mean by Duke Wei's words? Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment.

What does it mean that the people around King Jin are not kind?

Is it possible that there is still someone who wants to move Zhao Chen's position?

You must know that both Li Chengqian and Li Tai were defeated in the duel with Zhao Chen before.

Is it possible that there are still people who want to make the same mistake now?

I know that General Niu, like me, does not want any more troubles to occur in the Tang Dynasty.

\u003e But many things are not decided by us at all. The best way is to let His Highness return to Chang'an as soon as possible. This can also stabilize everything as much as possible.

General Niu, what do you think? Li Jing continued to ask.

Li Jing has said this, what else can Niu Jinda say?

But these are just their thoughts. Whether Zhao Chen goes back or not is up to him to make his own decision.

General Niu, please tell His Highness briefly about this matter first and test his tone.

If His Highness does not explicitly refuse, then you can give this matter a try, and I will try to persuade you again. Li Jing thought for a while and then said to Niu Jinda.

Niu Jinda was noncommittal to Li Jing's proposal. If Zhao Chen could be persuaded so easily, they wouldn't be so entangled.

But the thing? It all depends on human effort.

Maybe he could persuade Zhao Chen and he would agree?

But reality is always different from fantasy, and Zhao Chen didn't give Niu Jinda a chance to speak.

Because the first time Niu Jinda saw Zhao Chen, he told him to use troops against the Tibetan army immediately.

According to intelligence, Hou Junji has led the Tubo army to wipe out the defecting Tibetan troops.

Now is their chance to take action.

Niu Jinda's full words were immediately suppressed. He did not expect that at this time, news suddenly came that Hou Junji was leading troops to annihilate the Tibetan rebels.

Maybe if he stayed a little late for a day or two, he could persuade Zhao Chen to go back to Chang'an.

At present, the previous discussions with Li Jing can only be put aside temporarily. Anyway, it will not take much time to annihilate the Tibetan army.

In the Datang camp, the troops and horses under his command have been prepared. Zhao Chen stood on the high platform and looked expectantly at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
