Chapter 1085 You learn from Wei Zheng, I am not that tyrant
"Aya..." The Prince of Chu asked casually, and at this moment he just wanted to slap himself: "Don't be too sad..."
"I'm not sad." Aya blinked her eyes and smiled brightly, "Aunt Zhang said that the people we care about in our hearts will meet again one day."
"Zhenxuan..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at Zhang Zhenxuan who was about to flee on horseback: "Before you, the Heavenly Master lineage, joined the Dou family, did you also set up a fortune-telling stall?"
How can you fool people... all these tricks...
"Your Highness... well... how about I write a letter to ask my great-grandfather?"
"Forget it..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head after hearing this: "Actually, I also hope that this statement is true..."

"Prime Minister, are you really leaving?" At the same time, outside the gate of Lhasa City, Tibetan ministers Sangsuo and Yecha were trying to retain Lu Dongzan who was about to return to his fiefdom: "Master Zamp is still young after all..."
"Being young is never an excuse." Hearing this, Lu Dongzan glanced at Yecha who had spoken earlier, and then said, "The first time I met the King of Chu from the Tang Dynasty was in Yanqi City in the Western Regions.
He was probably thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, but he dared to lead several thousand cavalry to attack a Turkic army of ten thousand people head-on and slaughter them all.
You know, he came to the outside of Yanqi City on horseback, with Yu Gushe's body on his back, and the sun shone on his shoulders, like a god descending to the earth. That was the first time I felt afraid of a young man. "When Lu Dongzan said this, he saw Sang Suo beside him seemed to have something to say, so he thought for a moment and said, "That meeting was not a pleasant one. I suffered a great loss at his hands. So I paid more attention to this King of Chu."
“Prime Minister, we understand what you mean.” Seeing that Lu Dongzan saw what he was thinking, Sang Suo also echoed: “What happened later... also proved that you have a sharp vision. But I still want to say——”
"You mean, even if the Tang wanted to attack us, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage on the plateau. Right?
You mean, unless the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty was out of his mind and led his own soldiers to the plateau, otherwise, without a large number of Tang troops as backup, he would be walking into a trap if he came to Luoshui City. Right?"
"Yes, I do think so." Faced with Lu Dongzan's aggressiveness, Sang Suo was no longer polite: "And I just received news that a large army will be dispatched from Chang'an. It seems that...something has happened in Chang'an that we don't know about.
But this does not prove that the information revealed by Duke Zhao is false.
On the contrary, this can only prove the authenticity of the news - if Li Shimin was not furious, how could he send troops to attack Tubo without even notifying anyone? "
"Where did you get this information?!" Lu Dongzan was stunned when he heard Sang Suo's words, and then his face became more gloomy: "Why am I--"
"Zanpu received this news an hour ago. Then Sangsuo and I were called into the palace and learned about this. Prime Minister, our presence here at this moment is enough to prove Zanpu's sincerity..."
Yecha is a smart man, so he can immediately detect Lu Dongzan’s doubts and dissatisfaction and quickly resolve them.
"I'm not asking for sincerity..." Hearing Yecha's words, Lu Dongzan just shook his head gently: "I'm really worried... You should have heard about how Yeon Gaesomun was defeated in the previous battle with Goguryeo."
"That's impossible. How can three thousand infantrymen defeat an army of more than one hundred thousand, and the latter also has a large number of cavalry." Sang Suo felt that Lu Dongzan was really getting stuck in a dead end: "Prime Minister, I know that the King of Chu is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't do this.
In the Battle of Jinshan, if our allies hadn't been so useless, they wouldn't have won in the end."
"Have you forgotten something?" When Lu Dongzan heard the other party say this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and exuded murderous aura: "It was the encirclement formed by my army that Li Shimin broke through!"
"But among the allied forces at that time..." Sang Suo couldn't help but refute: "We didn't have many soldiers..."
"I don't want to hear you continue to be stubborn!" Lu Dongzan realized that these two people came up to waste his time: "Don't be in a hurry to keep me. I'm going back to my fiefdom this time to mobilize my own private soldiers to garrison the royal city."
"Prime Minister, aren't you violating the Zamp's big taboo by doing this?!" Yecha is different from Sangsuo. The latter is a die-hard supporter of the Zamp, while he is more inclined to support Lu Dongzan.
"Except for the 3,000 people who stayed in the fiefdom, these 6,000 people are the limit of what I can mobilize. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing." Hearing this, Lu Dongzan sighed and said, "Sang Suo, go back and tell the Zamp that if my judgment is wrong, I will let them return to their fiefdoms after the beginning of next spring, and then I will go to the Zamp to apologize myself."
"..." Sang Suo did not respond after hearing this.
“Sang Suo!” Ye Cha hurriedly said upon seeing this: “The Prime Minister is wholeheartedly devoted to Tubo, are you really going to completely disappoint him?!”
"Prime Minister, I don't mean that." Sang Suo sighed after hearing this, and then said: "Six thousand people, helping to defend the capital, is a good thing...
But Zamp is stubborn... You are stubborn too...
I’m worried… this will eventually lead to a disaster…”
"Zanpu is not that petty." Lu Dongzan smiled faintly after hearing this: "I am not a stubborn person, but over the years... I have seen too many unexpected things in the Tang Chu King, so... even if you think I am crazy, please help me this time..."
Since Lu Dongzan had said this, Yecha and Sangsuo had no choice but to compromise: "Prime Minister...don't worry, Yecha and I will do our best to convince the Zamp!"
"Thank you." Lu Dongzan nodded when he heard this, then he jumped on the horse and galloped away under the gaze of the two.
-------------------------------------
That night, the moon in Shanzhou City was as cool as water.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn't sleep, so he called Zhang Zhenxuan, who also couldn't sleep, and the two of them came to the yard, walking and chatting: "Zhenxuan, I suddenly remembered something. How did Aya find me in the restaurant last time?"
"Your Highness, I am not the one who betrayed you." Zhang Zhenxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, feeling that the visitor had bad intentions.
“That’s not what I meant…” Seeing that he was misunderstood by Zhen Xuan, His Royal Highness the King of Chu could only sigh helplessly, and then said: “I am wondering… Did Aya put some kind of poison on me?”
"That shouldn't be the case." Zhang Zhenxuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, although Miss Aya is just like you, she is always unruly, but she is very principled in her actions——"
"Ah? Ah?!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt his heart sink when he heard half of the words: "Zhen Xuan! Is this the image of me that you have always had in your mind? Who is so unruly all the time?!
Why are you imitating Wei Zheng out of nowhere?!"
"Your Highness, I didn't..." Sensing the imminent danger, Zhang Zhenxuan quickly took a few steps back: "I just think... you have a very good opinion of yourself. Because the kind of Gu you mentioned is called 'A Thousand Miles of One Line', which is a Gu that only the top Miao Gu Masters can use, and most of them are used by female Gu Masters on their loved ones. This kind of Gu can only be used once in a lifetime. You..."
“Alright, alright…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he had made a fool of himself again, but he knew how to make amends for himself: “You can imitate Wei Zheng if you want to… But I am not that incompetent king. If I catch you next time… Hehehehe… I will settle the debt for this time as well! I will beat you to death!”
