The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful period in history, but it also experienced countless internal and external troubles.
During the entire Tang Dynasty, it was almost always fighting against the surrounding nomadic forces, and the biggest threat was the Tubo Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the Tubo commander Songtsan Gampo admired the wealth and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and sent an envoy to Chang'an, hoping to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and strengthen contacts with the Central Plains.
However, Tang Taizong flatly refused.
In the 10th year of Zhenguan, Tubo was rejected because of the marriage proposal, and Tubo was unwilling to accept it and sent troops to harass Tuyuhun, who was protected by the Tang Dynasty.
In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo led his army to invade Tuyuhun and defeated it.
After defeating Tuyuhun, Tubo took advantage of the victory and turned to the southeast, defeated Dangxiang and Bailan Zhuwu, and marched 200,000 troops into Kuosong Prefecture.
After Songtsen Gampo invaded Songzhou, he did not go deep into it immediately.
Instead, he continued to send envoys to grant marriages, but his attitude was even tougher.
His toughness did not bring about the marriage grant from the Tang Dynasty, but instead brought the Tang army in Songzhou to fight, and the Battle of Songzhou officially began.
In late August, the weather is no longer as hot as summer and begins to get slightly cooler.
The mild and warm climate is Melody's favorite.
Since Li Ke moved two clusters of hibiscus flowers, she has changed from her usual laziness and taken care of them carefully every day.
"The weather is so sunny today, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere," Melodious hummed while watering the flowers.
After Tong'er discovered the little flower bones that had just emerged, she pointed them out to Youyang in surprise.
"Princess, look, this hibiscus has sprouted flowers.
It should bloom in ten days and a half."
"It's still so small, so it shouldn't bloom so quickly."
Youyang was very pleased to see the hibiscus she served every day sprouting flowers, and wanted to tell Li Ke the good news.
But he seems to be very busy recently.
He disappears every morning before she wakes up.
He goes back to his room to rest at an unknown time every night.
She hasn't spoken to him for several days.
Youyang asked: "What has His Highness been busy with recently?"
Tong'er shook her head and replied: "Princess, I miss Your Highness, but you ask such a question.
It's really difficult for Tong'er to answer.
The princess doesn't know, so how can this servant know?"
Youyang looked disappointed and sighed: "Hey, I thought you would know something about it since you often walk around with the guards."
Seeing the princess sighing, Tong'er smiled and joked: "If the princess misses your highness, why not go and see your highness?
If you secretly feel sad for the flowers, won't you be suffering from lovesickness?"
Seeing that Tong'er had been making fun of her recently, Youyang waved the kettle and threatened: "Ghost girl, I've really spoiled you, you're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you?"
"Princess, please forgive me.
I will go and find out if His Highness has returned to the palace at this time, so that the princess can go find him."
After Tong'er said this, he hurriedly covered his mouth and chuckled and ran out of the yard.
Outside the palace hall, Youyang hesitated to go in.
I heard from Tong'er that Li Ke came to the study just after returning home.
She couldn't wait to come to him, so she was afraid she would be laughed at again.
But if she was unwilling to go back just now, she really wanted to know what he had been busy with these days and why it was so difficult for him to even speak.
Youyang struggled in her heart and was extremely entangled, but in the end she decided to go in and find him.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the study, she heard voices coming from the study.
Was there anyone else?
She put her ear to the door, trying to hear clearly who was speaking in the study.
A rich voice said: "Our army suffered a setback in this contact battle.
Although the losses were not large, the impact of this battle was not small.
Some tribes that were originally affiliated with our dynasty launched a rebellion, and our army was temporarily in a disadvantageous situation."

Li Ke said: "This time Tubo launched a large-scale attack in Songzhou and completely provoked my father.
My father has ordered a heavy attack, and I have also requested an order.
As soon as my father's decree is issued, I will immediately lead my troops to the expedition."
Youyang leaned against the door as if she had been struck by lightning.
Oh my God, he was going to fight.
She was always frightened by the physical wars in ancient times.
The soldiers were armed with iron horses, and the swords were shining.
Not to mention the barbarian lands like Tubo, where the soldiers were even more fierce.
Strong and fierce.
An attendant hurried over and saluted immediately when he saw the princess standing by the door.
"Hail, Princess" Li Ke went out immediately after hearing the sound.
When he saw Youyang standing in front of him, he was stunned and said: "Youyang, since you are here, why don't you come in?"
"I you" Youyang didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Why me, you, come in?"
Li Ke didn't go into details, and turned to face the entourage who came forward.
The attendant reported: "Your Highness, there is a letter from the Emperor."
Li Ke quickly took the letter and opened it, frowning at first and then relaxing.
Youyang was a little uneasy, but she hoped that the emperor would not allow Li Ke to lead the army.
She asked urgently: "What did the letter say, but I ordered you to lead the army?"
"You know everything."
Li Ke raised his eyes, thinking that she must have heard the conversation outside the room, and said to everyone: "Father said that although I have learned marching strategies since childhood, I have no experience in leading troops.
Therefore, no troops were sent to the king.
In this battle, Hou Junji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was the general manager of the Midao march, the right-leading general Zhi Xili was Bailandao, the left Wuwei general Niu Jinda was Kuoshui Road, and Liu Lan As the general manager of the Taohe Road March."
Hearing that the emperor had not ordered Li Ke to lead the troops, Youyang breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words made her heart rise to her throat again.
Li Ke smiled and said: "Although my father did not send troops to this king, he thought it would be a good thing for this king to have such ambitions, so he ordered to follow General Niu Jinda to go and have some experience.
The four men who led the troops this time are all strong generals.
I think they are strong generals."
I will definitely learn a lot by going with you."
Seeing the yearning on Li Ke's face, Youyang suddenly felt that she was extremely selfish and insignificant at this time.
She couldn't bear to stop her and had to ask: "When will we set off?"
Li Ke replied: "I will go to meet with General Niu early tomorrow morning."
As night fell, Mingxuan Pavilion was completely silent, and only the melodious sound of packing clothes could be heard.
Li Ke stepped forward and hugged Youyang.
He knew that this woman was extremely uneasy at this time.
He said: "It's enough to pack these.
Going on an expedition is no different than usual.
It's not suitable to bring too many clothes."
Youyang took a deep breath and forced her tears not to fall at this moment.
She pretended to be relaxed and said: "But these are all things that are worn and used in daily life.
You also said that going on an expedition is no better than usual.
If you don't bring everything, you will be in trouble."
If you use it, you will be blinded."
Li Ke also wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
He smiled and said: "Haha, okay, just follow my wife.
No matter how much I clean up, my husband will carry her on my back."

A melodious smile, and a sudden half-truth and half-false suggestion.
"How about you take me there so that I can take care of you."
She was really worried after she knew that Li Ke was going to go on an expedition.
It was normal for her to get sick and injured while marching.
She wanted to say "Can you not go" several times, but she swallowed the words back because These words of affection between children will not have any effect except to embarrass him.
Li Ke was destined not to belong only to herself.
He belonged to the Tang Dynasty and the people.
He had strong ambitions.
How could such a man be entangled in the affair of his children?
She would not be stupid enough to do that.
A woman who only uses her children's personal affairs to trap him is asking for trouble.
All she can do is support him unconditionally.
"If possible, I would really like to carry you on my back, but" Li Ke stroked Youyou's head and smiled helplessly
