Chapter 1840 Turkic Invasion
"Let's go. Lin Tian waved his hand lightly, just a little ant, how could he care, from the time he came in to the present, Lin Tian has been paying attention to Ah Jiu's expression, and found that although he has some understanding, he doesn't have much understanding, so he immediately got up and patted Ah Jiu's shoulder, these things can't be in a hurry, they can only come step by step.
Nanfu, who got Lin Tian's permission, didn't get up as soon as possible, he knelt on the ground so respectfully, with a pious face, Lin Tian wanted to leave, of course he didn't dare to rush with Lin Tian, so he would rather kneel on the ground for a while, anyway, the other party is an immortal, and it's okay to kneel more, maybe he can get a little immortal.
Seeing Lin Tian leaving, Ah Jiu naturally hurriedly followed, as for Princess Taiping, she was the last to get up, and when she walked to Nanfu's side, Princess Taiping's footsteps paused, then glanced at Nanfu, and gently patted his head with her little hand: "Nan Xiangtian's son, it's not stupid, but offending this princess, do you think it can end like this?"
Saying that, Princess Taiping smiled, then turned around and left, when she passed by the man in the general's uniform, she stopped, glanced at the general of the guard battalion, and said with a slight smile: "Nanfu's crime, I believe that this princess does not need to provide you with it, give him a lesson." ”
"Yes!" The general of the guard battalion nodded hurriedly, Princess Taiping's request, of course he didn't dare to disobey, and he didn't dare to have the slightest objection to do things for Princess Taiping, he still wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sell well in front of Princess Taiping, and brush back the good impression that Nanfu had hurt him in front of Princess Taiping!
"Come on, arrest me!" "The general of the guard battalion did not have the slightest dullness, even if Princess Taiping had already walked out, he did not have the slightest slackness, thinking in his heart, this was a good opportunity to show favor to Princess Taiping, of course he would not let it go, and looked at Nanfu with a sneer: "Hmph, Nan Gongzi, I'm sorry!"
How reluctant Nanfu is, Li Shimin doesn't know, he is not calm at this time, this morning, a thousand-mile urgent letter was delivered to his desk, only a few words were written on it, Turkic attack, this news made Li Shimin no longer calm, because this is a matter of the safety of the people of the world.
"Prime Minister Xuan...... Enter the palace! Go and invite Lin Shangxian again. Li Shimin did not hesitate at all, such a thing must be to listen to the meaning of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but although he was a little anxious, Li Shimin was relatively calm, because for the matter of this Turkic attack, he had already prepared in advance and invited Lin Tian to be such an immortal.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that he should face the blow at this time and teach the Turks a lesson!" Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, opened his mouth and stared at Li Shimin with a serious face, as a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, his strength and planning have always been top-notch, and now he is also in a high position, he is a general, and his strength is also superb, reaching the ninth stage of the martial artist.
"Have you ever thought about it, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The eldest grandson Wuji spoke, now that the Tang Dynasty has been founded for less than ten years, but it is fighting every year, which is tantamount to making matters worse for the people, and if it is not handled well, it may cause turmoil in the country: "Why not think about it in the long run?"
"I think this is not good!" As a big old man, Cheng Biting Jin, he doesn't know what planning and policy, in his opinion, if there is an enemy attacking, he will copy his big axe and go into battle to kill the enemy: "Why do you have to waste so much effort when you can solve things that can be solved by war?" According to the prime minister's intentions, is it possible to show goodwill with the Turks?"
"Exactly. The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, now that Datang can no longer withstand the slightest consumption, and if it can avoid war, it is natural to avoid it more, otherwise it is equivalent to sprinkling a handful of salt on the wound: "Now that my Datang is short of finances, if there is another war at this time, then we will have to collect taxes from the people of the world, but if it has just been pacified today, how can the people have so much grain and grass to be handed over? How can all the generals come from this kind of life, and how can they not understand the suffering of the people? If you really do this, how can you bear it?"
"No!" Cheng Biting Jin's face was flat, following Li Shimin to fight in the south and north for many years, he Cheng Biting Jin had never been soft, and in such a matter, it was naturally even more impossible to be soft: "Let me Lao Cheng bow to the Turks, I will never be able to do it, and it is impossible to do such a thing, unless I kill Lao Cheng first!"
"Cheng biting Jin!" Li Shimin shouted, usually speaking, it doesn't hurt to let him be casual at all, but now he is discussing national affairs, obviously he can't let him mess around so unscrupulously: "I brought you here to discuss, not to let you mess around, if you have this time, it's better to think about how to deal with the Turks!"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it can be fought!" Qin Qiong spoke, as one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, his strategic strength is only Li Jing, and he is also one of the earliest people to follow Li Shimin, at this time, his eyes are full of murderous intent "Datang was first established, bowing his head and obeying softness at this time is tantamount to telling others that Datang is weak and can be bullied, and he will come to it several times a year in the future, so Datang is not over!"
"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed faintly, how could he not want to fight, but now the Tang Dynasty has only 500,000 troops with armor, and the Turks have as many as several million, how can such a battle be fought, unless Lin Tian can make great efforts and do not hesitate to consume his own strength, it may still be possible to succeed.
"Why don't I want to fight?" Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and looked at the outside of the imperial study with a heavy face, as an emperor, sometimes it is also a kind of torment: "Although the world is peaceful now, and the people are living a good life, but that is just the beginning, if the war starts at this time, it is equivalent to letting them regain the days of hunger, how can I bear it?"
"Your Majesty is benevolent!" Li Jing bowed and bowed, Li Shimin had the great love of the people, which made him admire, and it was precisely because of this that he would loyally follow him: "But has Your Majesty ever thought about what kind of character the Turks are, and what kind of outcome will it be if we bow our heads?"
Aiqing is right. Li Shimin nodded, and he was very clear about what Li Jing said, but now in this situation, the people who started the war were displaced, and the Tang Dynasty was swept away if there was no war, and both choices made Li Shimin very difficult: "How to fight this battle, how to fight it, can you win it, and what should I do if I lose?"
Four questions were raised in a row, Li Shimin stared at these famous generals of the Tang Dynasty with sharp eyes, these are the top generals in the world, he believes that these people will be able to come up with a way, Li Shimin, as the emperor who came out of the war immediately, naturally knows the benefits of this war, so he immediately chose to go to war!
It's a big deal to finally surrender to the Turks and admit defeat and hand over many benefits, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is martial, how can there be a reason to surrender without a fight? This is not the style of the Tang Dynasty, let alone his Li Shimin's style, in the face of such a thing, only a war can solve the problem, so he decisively and directly chose to go to war, a war is a life and death!
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to the battlefield!" Li Jing pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Just give the minister 5,000 elite soldiers, as well as 5,000 elite soldiers for a month's grain and grass, if you can't get it in January, then the minister is willing to come to see him, there will be no hesitation, please Your Majesty give the minister a chance, and the people of the world a chance!"
"Aiqing is loyal!" Li Shimin did not agree at the first time, nor did he refuse at the first time, he thought for a moment, and then looked at Li Jing: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry, I have already asked people to invite Lin Shangxian, if Lin Shangxian is willing to go with Aiqing, then I will definitely not have the slightest hesitation, let Aiqing go!"
"But if Lin Shangxian is unwilling, then I can't let you go!" Li Shimin said every word, every word was very heavy, and he looked at Li Jing with a rigorous gaze: "I won't watch my Tang Dynasty's good ministers and famous generals go to death in vain, such a thing, I will never be able to do!"
"Your Majesty's great grace!" Li Jing immediately knelt on the ground, Li Shimin sympathized with the people of the world, and doted on their courtiers, which made Li Jing very moved, because a gentleman is a gentleman, and it is already extremely difficult to be able to put down his identity to make friends with his subordinates, not to mention that like Li Shimin, he treats his courtiers like brothers.
"Your Majesty, Lin Shangxian is here. As Li Shimin's personal little eunuch, Xiao Zhengzi has always been a smart person, so when Lin Tian just entered the palace, he had already come to report it, because he knew that Li Shimin attached great importance to this immortal, and reported it in advance, so that his majesty could prepare in advance.
"Let's go, follow me to meet Lin Shangxian!" Li Shimin waved his sleeves, and immediately walked out of the imperial study, as the king of a country, in the face of military affairs, Li Shimin never considered his own majesty, because in his opinion, face is not important, only this Datang is the most important, Lin Tian can create vitality for Datang, enough for him to do anything.
"Your Majesty, you must not!" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stopped in front of Li Shimin, with a look of sincerity and fear, and looked at Li Shimin in front of him helplessly, as the king of a country, he did not care about his prestige and sympathized with the people and courtiers, although this is good, but it greatly violates the prestige of the king's temperament!
As the prime minister, his eldest grandson Wuji has an unshirkable responsibility, so naturally he needs to come out to stop it, and in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, even if Lin Tian is an immortal, he can't afford to be greeted by His Majesty in person, because this is not suitable, and it can't, otherwise if it spreads, then it will be a huge blow to Li Shimin's majesty, which is not what he wants to see!
