Datang: My Pokémon was discovered by Li Shimin

Li Fan nodded and said, "It is the current emperor who is trying to take back Jiannan Road."

Huo Qubing nodded slightly and asked, "What is the origin of this enemy?"

Li Fan replied, "The enemy is Tubo, and its army is fierce."

Huo Qubing frowned and said, "Tubo? I have never heard of it. I have fought with the Xiongnu for many years. What is the difference between Tubo and Xiongnu?"

"The Xiongnu live a nomadic life, are proficient in riding and shooting, come and go like the wind, and have many tribes, often invading the border."

"And this Tubo, located on the plateau, is also good at cavalry warfare, which is a bit similar to the Xiongnu, but the tactics may be different from the Xiongnu."

Huo Qubing snorted coldly: "Humph, whoever is Tubo or Xiongnu, whoever invades my territory should be killed! I just don't know how many troops this time this Tubo has?"

Li Fanji Li Shimin told him, and then said: "There should be more than 100,000."

Huo Qubing exclaimed: "More than 100,000? Then why did your majesty only lead 1,000 soldiers?"

Then he frowned, a trace of sharpness and confusion flashed in his eyes, and said loudly:

"Your majesty, is this a brilliant plan? But even if there is a brilliant plan, 1,000 vs. 100,000, the gap is too big!"

As he spoke, Huo Qubing was a little excited:

"As generals, we should fight bravely, but we can't let the soldiers die in vain!"

"Your majesty is the emperor of ten thousand chariots, and you are responsible for the safety of the world. How can you take such a risk?"

"Although I, Huo Qubing, am not afraid of war, I also know that war requires..."

Huo Qubing became more and more excited as he spoke, although he often defeated the enemy with fewer troops!

But the number of the enemy is only three to five times that of ours at most.

Like Li Shimin, 1,000 vs. 100,000, a full 100 times gap! It is undoubtedly sending people to die!

Li Fan interrupted immediately, he naturally understood Huo Qubing's mood.

"General, don't get excited, and continue to read on. I can only say that your majesty will win this time!"

After hearing this, Huo Qubing wanted to say something, but he didn't know that something had changed in the light curtain. He also quickly shut up and turned to see the light curtain.

...

In the light curtain, in the Jiannan Road occupied by Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo was discussing important matters with the prime minister Lu Dongzan in the tent, his face gloomy and solemn.

Songtsen Gampo frowned and said with some anger:

"Why hasn't the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty returned yet? Is the Tang Dynasty secretly plotting some conspiracy?"

Lu Dongzan bowed slightly, his expression also full of worry, and replied carefully:

"Zanpu, maybe there was an unexpected obstacle on the way, or the Tang Dynasty was planning a layout and deliberately let the envoy stay."

Songtsen Gampo slammed the table, shaking the objects on the table, and shouted angrily:

"Humph! If the Tang Dynasty dares to play tricks, this Zanpu will make them look good!"

At this time, Li Shimin, who was not far away, ordered his personal soldiers to camp here.

In order to catch them off guard, he ordered a thousand personal soldiers to quietly put away the Pokémon.

Then, the Tang Dynasty's military flag was raised high, and the soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the sky.

Songtsen Gampo heard the huge noise coming from outside and stood up suddenly, with a surprised look on his face, and hurriedly walked out of the tent.

When he saw the fluttering Tang army flag, he was suddenly startled and his face was instantly filled with fear.

His voice trembled, and he said to Lu Dongzan in panic:

"Why did the Tang army suddenly come to the city? Is it going to go to war with my Tubo? How is this possible?!"

He felt that the Tang should be busy dealing with the aftermath of the Eastern Turks and the war with the Western Turks at this time, and there was no time to take care of them.

Lu Dongzan was also full of panic, and stammered:

"Zanpu, this situation is completely beyond our expectations. How should we deal with it?"

Just as the two were anxiously discussing whether to fight or flee,

A spy came running in a hurry, almost stumbling and falling to the ground because he ran too fast. He reported breathlessly:

"Zanpu, outside is Li Shimin leading a thousand soldiers to declare war."

Songtsen Gampo didn't hear clearly for a moment, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly:

"What did you say?"

When Songtsen Gampo heard that Li Shimin was going to the war personally, his eyes widened like copper bells, his face was full of disbelief, and his voice changed in panic:

"Li Shimin came in person? How is this possible? How could he risk his life like this?"

"Impossible..."

"Impossible..."

Songtsen Gampo muttered to himself.

If Li Shimin was personally in charge, it would definitely be the Tang Dynasty that sent out troops, and even if he had an army of 100,000, he would not have the courage to fight head-on.

But at this moment,

Lu Dongzan beside him hurriedly reminded: "Zanpu, don't panic, the spies said... said... there are only a thousand personal soldiers."

Lu Dongzan was also a little uncertain.

"A thousand people?" Songtsen Gampo was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked at the spy lying on the ground and said sternly: "Are you sure it's a thousand people?"

The spy was lying on the ground, trembling slightly, and said hurriedly:

"Reply to the Zamp, I'm sure! I observed from a distance that their marching team is not long, and the number of tents is sparse. Judging from their size, there are indeed only about a thousand people."

Songtsen Gampo was stunned at first, and then a trace of ruthlessness and greed flashed in his eyes.

He stopped pacing, put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you are too arrogant! This Zamp has 100,000 troops in Jiannan Road, and you dare to declare war with only 1,000 personal soldiers. You are simply courting death!"

He looked at Lu Dongzan and said proudly:

"It seems that Li Shimin is confused and despises my Tibetan army so much."

"Isn't this a great opportunity given to us by God? If we can capture him alive, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos!"

But in a flash, he frowned again and murmured suspiciously:

"Li Shimin He has always been shrewd and wise. Is there any fraud in this behavior? "

Lu Dongzan hurriedly echoed:

"Zanpu, this matter is indeed strange. Li Shimin has been fighting for many years and has never been victorious. It is impossible for him to act so rashly. Perhaps there is a fraud. We still need to deal with it with caution. "

Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth, his eyes firm and hesitant, and said:

"In any case, one thousand against one hundred thousand, this is an overwhelming advantage. Pass on my order, the whole army is ready for battle, and Li Shimin must not return!"

Outside Jiannan Road,

Li Shimin asked his personal soldiers to beat the war drums constantly to provoke, only declaring war but not attacking.

Although Songtsen Gampo had a 100,000-strong Tibetan army, he was still full of doubts about Li Shimin's actions.

After thinking again and again, he still dispatched 20,000 soldiers to go out of the city to fight.

However, he also kept a watchful eye. He did not leave the city, but stood on the city wall and watched from afar.

In his opinion, 20,000 against 1,000 is no different from 100,000.

Li Shimin found a white horse from somewhere, holding a long sword, pointing at Songtsen Gampo on the city wall, and shouted:

"Songtsen, if you have the guts, come down and fight me! Don't be a coward!"

Songtsen Gampo crossed his arms and snorted coldly:

"Li Shimin, don't be arrogant! I want to see what tricks you can play!"

Seeing that Songtsen Gampo was unmoved, Li Shimin raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said loudly:

"Songtsen Gampo, you are a coward, are you afraid of the prestige of my Tang Dynasty?"

"Today I lead this thousand soldiers to come here to let you know that I can defeat your 100,000 Tubo trash with only 1,000 men!"

Songtsen Gampo on the wall had a gloomy face and shouted angrily:

"Li Shimin, stop talking nonsense! You are only 1,000 men, and you dare to speak nonsense here!"

The generals of Li Shimin's personal soldiers also shouted: "Tubo barbarians, surrender quickly, maybe His Majesty can spare your lives!"

The deputy general next to Songtsen Gampo couldn't hold back and wanted to fight to the death, but was stopped by Songtsen Gampo.

Li Shimin saw that this man was not fooled no matter how he provoked him, and saw that the other side's 20,000 troops were already at the gate of the city.

He had to wave the sword in his hand and shouted:

"Generals, listen to my order! Throw the ball!"

Songtsen Gampo: ???
