Chapter 1077 Jade Talisman
That night, in the study of the palace, almost all of Dou's retainers who were in Qiongzhou were present.
"I think you all know what happened." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not sitting at this time. He first glanced at Dou Shilun, the only person sitting in the room, and then looked at everyone: "Right or wrong, I don't care at all. Tubo, I must destroy it!
And this time, it was not a war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
But... my Fufeng Dou clan's war against Tubo!"
The words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu were so powerful that they were earth-shattering.
"Your Highness, if we want to destroy Tubo, we may not have enough manpower..." Although Xie Minlin could be called the chief strategist under the King of Chu, he knew the temperament of his master. Family was always the bottom line of His Highness the King of Chu, so he did not advise His Highness the King of Chu to stay calm. Instead, he gave a practical solution to the problem: "Although the Nine Zhaowu Clans in the Western Regions can be used, the King of Kang may not be willing to help."
"I know how to fight against Tubo." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand upon hearing this, indicating that there was no need to use the Nine Zhaowu Clans. "I am calling you all here now, one to appoint the generals, and two to make arrangements in advance. Xuan Ce, this time when I go to Tubo, I also plan to bring Zhen Xuan, Gang Zi, Taoist Chunfeng, Yu Wenqing, Zhong Hui, Jiang Sheng, Xue Wanjun, and my third brother, Li Ke. As for you, you have to stay and be responsible for coordinating the attack on Tianzhu. I will send a letter back to Qiongzhou at the appropriate time, and after receiving my letter, you can lead your army across the sea and directly attack Tianzhu.
As for the Pyu Kingdom that we originally planned to occupy, we can put it aside for now and let General Li Jing handle it later."
"Yes." Wang Xuance bowed and accepted the order.
"Alright, that's it. Those whose names are called should go back and prepare. As for the rest of you, everything will continue as usual after I leave." His Royal Highness the King of Chu had not intended to end the meeting so soon, but he noticed that his uncle Dou seemed to have something to say, but hesitated several times, so he simply adjourned the meeting early, and then...
While no one is in the study...
Did he admit his mistake to Dou Shuer?
"Then Master... I will take my leave."
After the rest of the Dou family's retainers left, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu was about to have a heart-to-heart talk with his own Uncle Dou, Jiang Qu and Hong San suddenly came back and said, "Your Highness, can you take me and Hong San with you when you go to Tubo this time?"
"No!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was just about to serve tea to Dou Shu'er, but he was frightened by the sudden shouts of the two old men and almost spilled the tea: "You are already old! You should just retire in Qiongzhou, but you are still thinking about fighting and killing all day long, what are you doing? Don't you want to admit your age?! Look at me, Lai Aong and Yu Aong, they can sit still! You two should rest with them more!"
"How can Lai Weng sit still?" Dou Shilun originally wanted to chat with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu about something else, but when the other party mentioned Hu'er, he couldn't help but said unhappily, "A few days ago, I received a letter from Longyou. Lai Weng was so happy and moved when he saw the plaque of Pyongyang City that Your Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sent back from Goguryeo that he shed tears several times. Yu Weng said that Lai Weng had planned to use that thing as a burial object! Not only that, Lai Weng has been getting up early every day to practice martial arts recently. Judging from his posture, it seems that he is willing to fight to the death for Your Royal Highness the Prince of Chu!"
“Uncle Dou…” If His Royal Highness the King of Chu’s brain was still as bad as it was back then, he would put his hands on his hips and laugh three times “Hahahaha”, and then say: “I am truly a great ruler of the world!”
But now, he knew that Dou Shilun was a little unhappy: "Don't be angry with me, this time for the battle with Tubo... I have really thought of the whole plan..."
"Your Highness, how could I be angry with you..." Dou Shilun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I just feel...ah..."
Dou Shilun's last sigh was truly mixed with a myriad of sorrows.
The child that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had watched grow up in his own eyes has now become a rare talent.
But the more this happened, the more Dou Shilun felt sad about his old age and incompetence: "Your Highness, are you really sure about this battle against Tubo?"
"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Qu and Hong San, and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about... where those black-clad warriors around me came from?"
"Those people were left behind by the old lady, is there any need to explain that?" Jiang Qu, who was standing aside, was stunned when he heard this.
"Well..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that he had to change his words to be more euphemistic: "Do you think Zhenxuan knows thunder magic?"
"..." Dou Shilun, Jiang Qu and Hong San were all silent upon hearing this.
"What else can Zhenxuan's ancestor, the great and virtuous teacher, do besides thunder magic?" Seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to persuade him patiently.
"Throwing beans and turning them into soldiers?!" Hong San, an old man who always had a very low sense of presence, has now learned to answer quickly.
"Oh! That's right!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed when he heard it: "I didn't say it before because I was afraid of scaring you, but now... think about Zhenxuan, then think about the old Taoist priest! Even Gangzi... In short, this king is still a normal person."
"When have you ever been normal?" Jiang Qu started to complain after hearing this: "You were a naughty kid in Longyou, and you became even worse after going to Chang'an. You never stopped for a day..."
“Hahaha…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu smiled upon hearing this: “Yes… Jiang Qu, I have always been very grateful to you, really…”
"Your Highness..." Jiang Qu didn't expect His Highness the King of Chu to suddenly say this: "Actually..."
"Alas, now is not the time to talk about this." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his arm to dispel the sad atmosphere, then he turned to look at Dou Shilun: "Dou Shuer, did you have something to say to me just now?"
"Your Highness, you are really smart..." Dou Shilun smiled dotingly upon hearing this, and then took out a jade talisman from his arms: "Half a year ago, the old Heavenly Master sent someone to Qiongzhou and gave me this jade talisman. There was also a message - saying that if Your Highness ever plans to attack Tubo in the name of Fufeng Dou, he will let me give you this jade talisman..."
Rumble... At this moment, a burst of thunder sounded in the mind of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
He finally understood why Uncle Dou was so strange before. At the same time, he also understood the purpose of the old Taoist priest's going to Yizhou when he parted with him in the Western Regions...
The old Taoist priest really had nothing to say about his troublesome patriarch...
"Old Heavenly Master..." Unconsciously, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's voice was choked with sobs: "Should I take this jade talisman and go to Yizhou?"
"Yes." Dou Shilun was surprised when he heard this: "Your Highness, do you know about this?"
"No, I guessed." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sniffed and said, "Dou Shuer, after I leave, Qiongzhou will be handed over to you."
"Your Highness, don't worry about this, but..." Dou Shilun thought for a moment and said, "How many people can you take to Tubo?"
"More than 2,500 people," His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment after hearing this, "If it reaches the limit... it can be at most 3,000."
"Can their strength...reach the level of the elite Modao troops you led on the battlefield of Goguryeo?"
"Almost." His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe even stronger."
"Then Your Highness... I have nothing to say." Dou Shilun nodded and added at the end: "We will win this battle!"
