In the teahouse, only Li Chengqian and a few guests were left.
And these guests also realized that something was wrong, so they all got up and paid their bills and left.
Li Chengqian was deep in thought, and it was not until Yuan Yuan came in and sat across from him that he came back to his senses.
Yuan Yuan raised her eyebrows and then said: "Do you really believe what he said?"
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
Li Chengqian frowned, then stood up and said: "Let's go back to the palace!"
After returning to the palace, Li Chengqian immediately summoned his eldest grandson to come over.
Today, Changsun Chong is taking care of all military affairs in Liangzhou.
If it is true that Persia is destroyed as Zhao Youlin said, it is impossible that there will be no news over there.
After all, no matter how fast the blitzkrieg is, there should still be survivors, right?
And when the two met.
Li Chengqian also asked straight to the point: "Has there been any news coming back from the West recently?"
"this……"
Changsun Chong pondered for a moment and then said: "There are some, but they have little to do with us."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean it doesn't matter?"
"The news comes from Persia."
"It is said that a country from the west invaded their territory."
Changsun Chong spoke in an understatement, with a slight air of indifference.
But after Li Chengqian heard this, he was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Li Chengqian pointed at Changsun Chong and roared: "Why don't you report such a big matter to the court?"
Changsun Chong also didn't expect that he would get so angry.
At that moment, he also shrank his neck when he was scolded by the other party.
"Persia itself has a strong national power. Even if a foreign enemy invades, it will not have much impact on them."
He said with some confidence: "Besides, Persia is still far away from our country. Even if they change dynasties, they will have nothing to do with our country." "You are confused."
"After so many years of reading and fighting, have you learned anything from dogs?"
Li Chengqian also pointed at Changsun Chong and cursed unceremoniously.
He really didn't expect that Changsun Chong would make this kind of mistake.
You know, Changsun Chongna is one of the people who has been following him for the longest time.
But today, he dares not to report even the news that Persia was destroyed.
This bitch has no brain, or has her brain been kicked by a donkey?
"Have you ever thought about whether the enemy will advance westward?"
"Have you ever thought about what we would do if our country's elite generals are in Baekje now?"
Li Chengqian was also so angry that he had a headache.
He held his forehead and said, "Come on, scolding you now won't help. Go find Gao Zhixing quickly."
At this moment, Changsun Chong was also stunned by Li Chengqian's scolding. He stood there blankly and didn't move for a long time.
"What are you doing standing there so dumb?"
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian became even more angry and said, "Why don't you just go find Gao Zhixing for me?"
After hearing this, Changsun Chong just woke up from a dream, turned around and ran out of the door.
In fact, it was not that he couldn't understand why Changsun Chong acted like this.
After all, the Tang Dynasty has entered a period of unprecedented prosperity in history.
And it is also this kind of strength that makes many people slack off and lose the sense of crisis they had when the country was first founded.
You know, even a cautious person like Li Shimin is now planning to go out for fun, let alone Changsun Chong?
And it was not long after Changsun Chong left.
Li Chengqian called out to the door: "Little Chuzi!"
Hearing his call, the little Chuzi who was guarding the door immediately walked into the room: "My slave is here!"
Li Chengqian said: "Go to the imperial study room and store the items there.
Get the map from inside."
"ah?"
Little Chuzi said a little puzzled: "Isn't there a map in the East Palace?"
"If the map of the East Palace works, do I still need to call you?"
Li Chengqian said angrily: "Go if you are told to go, what a nonsense from the young lady."
Li Chengqian used foul language, which means that the matter has reached a certain level of seriousness.
The little Chuzi did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran out of the room and went straight to the imperial study.
Li Chengqian didn't mean to torment him.
He was telling the truth. The maps in the East Palace were at most some random maps of the Tang Dynasty drawn by Li Chengqian.
But today, when it comes to Persia and Western Turks, ordinary territorial maps are definitely not useful.
And the world map he drew based on his memory had long been taken by Li Shimin and hung in the imperial study.
Not long after Xiao Chuzi got the map back, Gao Zhixing followed Chang Sun Chong into the house.
Seeing Li Chengqian's gloomy look, Gao Zhixing couldn't help but be stunned.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you? What's the big deal?"
Obviously, Changsun Chong did not tell him why Li Chengqian called him over.
Li Chengqian didn't complain about Changsun Chong and called the two of them to his side.
At this moment, the entire map was placed on the ground by Li Chengqian.
"A month ago, someone called the Unsa Empire invaded Persia."
Li Chengqian pointed to the location of Persia and said: "And as far as I know, the Persian dynasty has now been destroyed, Angsa has occupied the entire territory of Persia, and has even begun to look to the east."
"Wait, please wait first."
Gao Zhixing was a little unable to react.
He said directly: "You said, Persia was destroyed? Or was it destroyed in a month? How is this possible?"
His reaction was similar to Li Chengqian's at that time.
After all, the contemporary Tang Dynasty was doing business with Persia, and the courtiers had heard of some things about Persia.
You know, Persian The territory is basically the same size as that of the Tang Dynasty, and the population is not much less than that of the Tang Dynasty.
Comparing the two, apart from being stronger than Persia in terms of military strength and some technologies, there is almost no big difference between the two.
But now, Li Chengqian said that someone destroyed this country in just one month.
Isn't that the same as saying that someone destroyed the Tang Dynasty in two or three months?
And I'm afraid those mengzi who drank too much wouldn't be able to say this kind of thing.
But look at Li Chengqian's serious look.
Gao Zhixing asked with some uncertainty: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Do you think I need to joke with you about this?"
Li Chengqian said with a cold face: "To tell you the truth, I just met Zhao Youlin."
"According to what he said, the Ansa Empire has a very strong military and even has artillery."
"And the border of the Western Turks has been invaded by the other party."
"Now, this guy means to unite with Datang to fight against the enemy."
Li Chengqian looked at Gao Zhixing and said, "What do you think?"
After hearing these words, Gao Zhixing also fell into deep thought.
"If there really is a country in this world that can destroy Persia within a month."
"Our army may really have to cooperate with Zhao Youlin."
Gao Zhixing is a genius in defensive warfare, and his understanding of the four characters "lips are dead and teeth are cold" is far better than Li Chengqian.
He looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "But now, most of our country's young generals are in Baekje."
"If a war really starts, who will lead the army?"
"Do you want those veterans to go?"
Not to mention others, even Gao Zhixing found it unreliable.
After all, among the current veterans, except for Li Xiaogong who can use them, the rest are basically laymen with firearms.
There are even some people who are firmly against firearms.
When he heard this, Li Chengqian sighed softly and said: "I think it's just you and me, plus a younger brother..."
