Hearing His Majesty's attitude of responding to Wang Jian's requests, the officials in the Taiji Hall had surprised looks on their faces.
However, most of the courtiers gradually felt relieved when they thought of the major victory achieved by Wang Jian's army in Tuyuhun.
There is nothing wrong with winning a big victory and enjoying His Majesty’s special treatment.
Not every court minister was happy about Wang Jian's major victory in Tuyuhun. For example, Changsun Wuji felt very sad.
Throughout the whole court meeting, he had a fake smile on his face.
After the court meeting, Changsun Wuji and some important representatives of the Guanlong Group gathered together.
Changsun Wuji said: "Everyone, I can no longer suppress Wang Jian. When he returns from the Tuyuhun victory, he will be promoted again."
"Wang Jian personally. The promotion is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the brothers under his command."
"People like Wang Dingtai, Xue Rengui, Xu Hu, Xi Junmai and Majiazhuang are in the army. It has risen strongly."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, all the representatives of the Guanlong Group were silent. .
The Guanlong Group was powerful for a while in the Sui Dynasty, but they competed with each other for power in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and their strength was severely depleted.
In addition, Li Shimin now intends to suppress the power of the Guanlong Group, so these old nobles are no longer as good as they were decades ago.
The most powerful force in the court today is the Shandong Group.
The Shandong Group mentioned here refers to large areas such as Henan Road and Hebei Road.
Representatives of the Shandong Group include Li Ji, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang.
They are important figures who followed Li Shimin in his southern and northern wars, and also played an important role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. This group of people from the Shandong Group now holds core positions in the court. .
Except for Changsun Wuji, everyone else in the Guanlong Group was excluded from the core of power in the court.
But this does not mean that the Guanlong Group is weak.
Their family power is still strong, and it is deeply rooted in the local area and has strong influence.
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the lobby was quiet for a moment.
An old man with a hooked nose stood up and said, "We have to unite with the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Qinghe and other aristocratic families."
"According to what I heard You know, the core disciples of these two big families have a deep hatred for Wang Jianke."
This group of old families are still very good at finding out information.
They are also aware of all the troubles in the court.
Another man wearing expensive robesThe old man also stood up, his eyes full of gloom.
"Uniting with other families is one way. We must also find ways to contain Wang Jian and his brothers, and not let them fight too smoothly in Tuyuhun!"
"It is better to say Motivate Tibet and let them attack Tuyuhun? "
"Tibet is very ambitious now and has a strong army. If they join the war, Wang Jian and his men will definitely not be able to resist it with only 50,000 people!"
After hearing the old man's words, everyone present lowered their heads and thought deeply.
Colluding with Tibet to attack the Tang army was no small matter.
If Li Shimin knew about it, they and the family behind them would probably be uprooted.
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "The method of colluding with Tubo is not advisable. If His Majesty finds out, we will all be finished."
"It is better to find a safer method. Let's go!"
Although the fight for power cannot be hidden from His Majesty's eyes, it is a normal competition and His Majesty will not stop it, or maybe he doesn't like it.
But once you collude with a foreign race, it is treason.
The nine tribes will be punished!
The old man in expensive robes shook his head. There was no fear on his face. He stood up and said.
"To persuade Tubo to send troops, we do not need to reveal our identity."
"We can also follow Wang Jian's example and send people to spread the news in Tubo and let Songtsen do it. Buhe's staff decided on their own."
"In this case, Tubo's decision to attack Tuyuhun is their own decision, and it has nothing to do with us."

After hearing his reasonable words, everyone lowered their heads and started thinking seriously.
Although the decision is easy to make, the consequences are related to the rise and fall of the entire family, and it cannot be taken carelessly at all.
"Sending people to spread the news is a feasible method!"
"As long as we plan properly, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Others in the house Everyone's face showed emotion, and many people even responded.
Changsun Wuji, who was sitting in the first place, lowered his head slightly and thought deeply. After a while, he nodded and said.
"Okay, then let's discuss how to spread this rumor!"
...
Dafeichuan City.
In the city lord’s mansion.
Wang Jian and Su Dingfang were busy formulating the next stage of combat tasks, and knew nothing about the people from the Guanlong Group conspiring against him.
"General Su, there are currently only two powerful enemy forces in Tuyuhun."
"One is the 80,000-strong army led by Prince Muronggui. In the past few days, Xu Hu The unit has annihilated nearly oneTen thousand soldiers. "
"Murong Gui has only 10,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry left. "
"The second is the 200,000-strong army led by King Murong Fuyun himself. Among these 200,000-strong army, except for 60,000 veterans, the rest are newly recruited soldiers. "
"They are now stationed in the imperial city of Fuqi City, preparing to fight a big battle with us! "
Hearing Wang Jian's words, Su Dingfang nodded.
When the scout came back with this news to report, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the entire army, he naturally knew it immediately.
Su Dingfang asked in confusion: "Commander Wang, what do you think we should do next? "
"Which one should eat Murong Gui's 70,000 infantry first, or besiege Murong Fuyun's 200,000 troops first? ”
Wang Jian’s troops, Xue Rengui’s troops, and Er Dan’s troops all gathered in Dafeichuan City, southwest of Fuqi City.
If you go along Qinghai Lake To attack forward, they must face Murong Fuyun
But if they attack Murong Gui first, they will need to retreat and make a large circle along Qinghai Lake.
The time wasted will definitely take ten or eight days.
Once Murong Fuyun and his men react, they will definitely abandon the city and flee, and then hundreds of thousands of troops will go deep into the desert to hide. .
It will be extremely difficult to find and annihilate them at that time.
Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Let Xi Junmai go over, he and Xu Hu." The two of them were in charge of a total of 10,000 elite cavalry, and they were asked to slowly think of ways to eat up Murong Gui's troops. "
"Our army slowly moved closer to Fuqi City, and wiped out the Tuyuhun tribe in the periphery bit by bit. "
"But we can't show too much strength, otherwise we will scare Murong Fuyun away. "
Now Murong Fuyun, Murong Gui and others have gathered the army together, and it is difficult to defeat them one by one.
Moreover, if the Tang army appears too invincible, Murong Fuyun will know If he is unstoppable, he will definitely lead his troops to flee northwest.
Su Dingfang nodded and said, "Commander Wang, I will do as you say! "
After saying that, he began to immerse himself in writing a war plan, and then asked the scouts to inform Xi Junmai and Xu Hu.
...
Bordering Tuyuhun Tubo, a rumor suddenly spread in the past two days
"The Tang army will take care of Tubo after they capture Tuyuhun!" "
"Now that Tuyuhun has been captured by the Tang army, most of its territory is extremely powerful. "
"Furthermore, the two great generals Yuchi Jingde and Zhang Shigui of the Tang Dynasty stationed heavy troops in Maozhou and may attack Tibet at any time. "
As rumors spread one after another, the Tubo court instantly became nervous.
Most of the ministers suggested that the king loosen theZang Gampo asked him to send troops in advance to occupy Tuyuhun, which was empty of defenses.
