"At present, the great enemy should focus on war. According to Jingde's words, 100,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized to block the Turks. Li Shimin finally chose to favor Wei Chigong at a critical moment.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, Wei Chigong is a straight heart, and he will not understand the reason for a while. And Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are both bachelors, and their relative cultivation will be higher. Besides, the capital is going to be unsafe, and there is not much difference between leaving 50,000 more and 50,000 less soldiers and horses.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Wei Chigong's eyes were moved with tears, and he was grateful for Li Shimin's trust, with this master, not only can he kill the enemy freely, but he also doesn't need to be careful, God is not thin on himself!

Afterwards, Li Shimin left Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui behind, and told his bitterness, hoping that the two could understand. Of course, Fang Du and the others said they didn't care, but Du Ruhui still proposed that for this group of brave generals, it is still necessary to improve the cultivation of cultural level.

In less than half a month, the Turks conquered the cities of the Tang Dynasty one after another, and they were already in Jingyang, less than 40 miles away from Chang'an. Jieli Khan was excited, and secretly ridiculed the insidious and cunning of the Han people, father and son and brother killed each other, and intrigued, but they didn't know that the world had changed outside.

However, at this moment, Jieli Khan heard that a Tang army was rushing to arrive, and the leader was the famous Tang general Wei Chi Gong.

Hearing that the other party only had 100,000 soldiers and horses, Jieli Khan didn't care, and the successive victories had already made him dizzy. And he thinks he knows these generals better, Wei Chigong was born as a blacksmith, making a good lance, but he is impatient. Standard Takefu.

Therefore, Jieli Khan ordered the army to camp and rest in place, and he thought that Wei Chigong's army would come and have to wait at noon tomorrow. Wait until the early hours of the morning, you can set up an ambush to lure the enemy deeper, and if you can completely annihilate this team, you can directly attack Chang'an.

Jieli Khan thought well, and knew that Wei Chigong was an impatient, but he never expected it. The other party's temperament is so anxious. In the middle of the night, the Turkic soldiers were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard the sound of killing.

Jieli Khan hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. But his jaw almost dropped, because Wei Chigong's army had already arrived, and it was attacking the Turkic camp without warning.

How is this possible! Only the iron cavalry can reach this speed, and Wei Chigong raised no more than 20,000 troops. The rest were foot soldiers. Aren't they afraid of death?

The screams around him were endless, and many Turkic soldiers had not yet obtained their weapons, and even if they did, they did not have time to wear armor, and they looked very flustered in the face of the heavily armed Tang army.

Under the leadership of Wei Chigong, the Tang army fought to the death with the Turkic soldiers. The Tang army's divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the Turkic soldiers were caught off guard, within nearly an hour. It was the Tang army that had a great advantage, and the Turkic soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

However. The Tang army ran all the way, and fought all night, his stomach was empty, his limbs were sore, and he soon lost his strength. And the Turkic soldiers also recovered from the panic, helped each other and finally found the armored war horse, and there was an absolute advantage in numbers, under the command of Jieli Khan, the Turkic army formed a fan-shaped queue while fighting, and there was a great posture of outflanking the Tang army.

The Khan was so excited that the loss of troops and horses was not enough to break his muscles and bones, so he immediately rejected the idea of starting to lure the enemy deeper, and instead attacked with all his might.

However, Jieli Khan also underestimated the senior Han generals too much. Their so-called humble background has become a thing of the past, and these generals follow the best monarch of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin to fight in all directions all day long, and they have a lot of combat experience.

When Wei Chigong saw that the situation was not good, he couldn't help sneering, and immediately issued an order to withdraw the troops!

The menacing Tang army retreated like a low tide, and Jieli Khan was very embarrassed when he saw that the other party was not in his plan, and ordered the army to chase after him.

Soon, Jieli Khan saw the clues, because the direction in which Wei Chigong fled was not Chang'an at all, which can also prove that Wei Chigong was afraid that Chang'an would be threatened, and if there was no miscalculation, Chang'an's current strength would only be tens of thousands.

Jieli Khan triumphantly let the army settle down and rest again, and after eating and drinking and sleeping enough, he took Chang'an in one go! Seeing that the enemy army did not catch up, Wei Chigong did not continue to run, but also ordered the Tang army to rest in place, pay close attention to the Turkic movements, and not make any mistakes.

When the battle situation in front was delivered to Li Shimin, he had a worried look on his face, and all the ministers were worried, thinking that he had lost the battle.

"Wei Chi Jingde lived up to the emperor's grace, defeated the Turks in Jingyang, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and captured several Turkic officials."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone turned their heads to each other, isn't this a victory, why are you still unhappy? The first few people in the court were very clear, and Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although General Wei Chi did not hurt the Turkic vitality in this battle, he gave him a head start, and he was even better in terms of momentum. ”

"Your Majesty, this battle can delay the Turks for a while, and when they try to test one or two, they will know the end, and they can't help but guard against it." Wei Zheng also stepped forward and said, Fang Xuanling frowned, he also understood this truth, he had to say it all in one mouth, and if he couldn't come up, he would deny it completely, which made people feel unhappy.

"Then according to Zhu Aiqing's words, what should I do?" Li Shimin looked around.

Immediately, there was a heated discussion in the court, and it was red-faced. On the one hand, he has a positive attitude, believing that Wei Chi Gong will definitely be able to delay the Turks and wait for reinforcements from all over the country, even if he invades Chang'an, Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then Wei Chi Gong comes back to fight, and he will definitely be able to fight the Turks with a two-sided attack.

Li Shimin nodded frequently, he also thought so, and even thought that if the Turks really dared to invade Chang'an, he would really be itchy, and maybe he would drive the expedition in person.

On the other hand, there are conservatives, mainly Yu Wenshi. They believed that Chang'an was in danger, and instead of staying here and taking risks, it was better to retreat to Luoyang for the time being, as it was well known that Luoyang's fortifications were far stronger than Chang'an.

The conservatives are obviously not very imposing, first, Li Shimin ascended the throne and everyone returned to their hearts, it was when the morale was high, how could they be defeated before they fought? On the other hand, Chang'an to Luoyang is also a few days away, with a family, very inconvenient, in case the Turks in the middle of the fortification, is not self-defeating?

But there is no shortage of loyal ministers among the conservatives, Li Shimin is not good at refuting their face, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said: "I fought everywhere before, and I brought one more military advisor. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Ziyan's body, Li Shimin's meaning was obvious, and he still hoped that the military advisor could come up with an idea. People are too Shiling, no matter whether the war is good or not?

Yuan Ziyan sighed secretly and said, "Your Majesty, what the adults on both sides said is reasonable. Temporarily avoid Luoyang, although there is danger on the way, but there are also local state and county troops to escort it, and it can be safe. And it makes sense to stay here, so that the Turks do not dare to small the Tang Dynasty. ”

Or did he say nothing, Li Shimin frowned slightly, he didn't need to be a good old man with a muddy now, but a military advisor who gave a clear answer.

"Ziyan, just say it bluntly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Ziyan bowed slightly, and continued: "If it is according to my personal opinion, then we should stay in Chang'an, in addition to the reasons that everyone said just now, it can also play a role in deterring the Turks, don't let them think that we are afraid." ”

Exactly, exactly, everyone nodded one after another, and the eldest grandson Wuji originally advocated continuing to stay in Chang'an, but he still stood up and retorted: "Lord Yuan, Chang'an is in danger, there are not many soldiers and horses, and another 30,000 will be divided, there are many people, if the news is leaked, then Chang'an is not at your fingertips?" ”

"Since it's acting, of course, we have to act like a little bit, as long as we can hide and coax the other party for about ten days, and our real reinforcements arrive, then the crisis can be truly resolved. On the contrary, he went to Luoyang at this time, and the reinforcements from all walks of life could not get the news in time, so they would be chaotic. Yuan Ziyan said seriously.

"Okay, for the time being, according to the purple smoke plan, General Li Tao, you can be fully responsible for this matter." Li Shimin said.

Li Tao hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, his heart was mixed, the relationship between the two was true that they were rivals in love, and now they are still monarchs and ministers, especially Li Shimin also gave Xu Maogong the surname Li and became a family.

"The minister must live up to his mission!" There are still more elements of gratitude in Li Tao's heart, and he was ordered in danger, which shows that this is Li Shimin's trust in him.

Of course, Li Shimin did not sell his favor with everyone's net worth and life, but decided that Li Tao was meticulous and thoughtful, and he could be called the best candidate in the general circle.

This trick undoubtedly worked, and there were constantly spies reporting to Jieli Khan, and after a while, it was said that a support army came from the east, with a posture of 20,000 men, followed by 10,000 in the south, then 30,000 in the southeast, 10,000 in the northwest, and 20,000 in the southwest.

Jieli Khan pulled his fingers and calculated, add it, add it, in less than a day, Chang'an gathered 90,000 troops, and the speed was staggering.

Jieli Khan did not dare to act rashly, the Tang Dynasty has a large population, and it is not difficult to recruit soldiers immediately, 90,000 soldiers are actually not much. Just as Jieli Khan was thinking about whether to attack Wei Chigong first or attack Chang'an directly, the next day another 30,000, 20,000, and 10,000 reinforcements arrived in Chang'an.

No, Jieli Khan's eyes rolled and he noticed something abnormal. First of all, there are no more than 30,000 of these teams; On the other hand, there is always a support team, and there is never a phenomenon of all directions converging at the same time.

Could it be that Chang'an is really empty, and Li Shimin is playing tricks? Thinking of this, Jieli Khan's tears of laughter came out, he was so smart! Of course, Jieli Khan can't be sure that the specific dispatch of troops in Datang is a national military secret, and he is also ambiguous and uncertain, and he is not completely sure, maybe he is really rushing here sporadically!
