In the Tai Chi Hall, the atmosphere is a little depressing.

In the past few days, Li Shimin has received a lot of messages from Liangzhou, all of which are all kinds of distress messages.

The Western Turks have completely ravaged Liangzhou.

But people are very smart, they just go around in the Liangzhou area, and don't move closer to the Guanzhong, where the military is intensively deployed.

Niu Jinda, the general of Liangzhou, tried to send thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city, but only a few hundred people came back, and he never did such a meaningless thing again.

As a big frontier city, Liangzhou is barely considered to be a city with high walls and thick walls, as long as you don't go out of the city, Liangzhou City is not so easy to lose.

For Datang, as long as Liangzhou City is not lost, it is an acceptable ending.

"Your Majesty, after the pacification of the Eastern Turks last year, a group of government soldiers have just been disbanded to recuperate. If we really want to use troops against the Western Turks, we need to make no less preparations than before. Weichen still has the same opinion, as long as the Western Turks do not invade Guanzhong Road, the imperial court will not increase troops in Liangzhou. Fang Xuanling once again expressed his opinion.

"It is very difficult to suppress 20,000 Western Turkic elites on the outskirts of the field, without 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses. The most important thing is that the Western Turks will not stand there and wait for us to go to a decisive battle, so holding on is actually the best way to deal with them, and when winter comes, they will naturally retreat. "Li Jing's grasp of the changes on the battlefield is first-class.

Since he led the troops to destroy the Eastern Turks last year, his prestige has reached a new height, and it can basically be said that he is the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

After that, in order to avoid the limelight of his high achievements, Li Jing became very low-key, and he rarely spoke at the court meeting.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Shimin had been convening a bunch of important ministers alone to discuss Liangzhou matters recently, he wouldn't have said a word.

If Datang sends troops at this time, Li Jing is the best candidate to lead the troops.

After all, he has already explained his means of dealing with the grassland peoples with living deeds, who will he choose if he is not elected?

But he didn't want to be in the limelight again!

If he really led the troops to destroy the Western Turks, then the fate of Li Jing's entire clan might be a little hanging.

Even if Li Shimin is generous, he can't withstand the impeachment of many people, and sooner or later he will have other views on Li Jing.

And once the emperor no longer trusts a general, then ......

"If you follow this approach, you can certainly survive this year, but what about next year? I can't always be led by the nose by the Western Turks, right? If this is the case, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no new movement in the remnants of the Eastern Turks in the north, and whether those Eastern Turkic nobles who have just settled down will have thoughts that they should not have. ”

Li Shimin understood Fang Xuanling's suggestion, but he also had his own concerns.

To put it bluntly, how to deal with the Western Turks is not only a military act, but also a political event.

And just when Li Shimin and the ministers once again expressed their views on the Western Turkic invasion of Liangzhou, Li Zhongchong hurriedly entered the main hall and came to Li Shimin's side.

For example, when Li Shimin and important ministers discussed confidential matters, Li Zhong often guarded the gate of the palace and would not enter easily.

Now that he is rushing into the meeting before it is over, the fool knows that something must have happened!

Could it be that Liangzhou City is broken?

Fang Xuanling sighed and felt a little panicked.

"Nonsense! What nonsense! This Li Kuan, there is no day of peace! When Li Shimin saw the secret report handed over by Li Zhong, his first reaction was not to believe it, this could not be true.

"Your Majesty, the people of the Hundred Horsemen saw with their own eyes, and there were two people following the hot air balloon, yes, it is called a hot air balloon, and it has taken off!" Li Zhong was afraid that Li Shimin would make a wrong judgment because he didn't know enough information, so he immediately made a supplementary explanation.

"Is that true?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhong with a torch in his eyes.

The power of the emperor is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Rao is Li Zhong followed Li Shimin all day long, and he also felt a lot of pressure.

"Seriously!"

"Go! Call Li Kuan over to me. Li Shimin was not in the mood to continue discussing the affairs of Liangzhou.

This matter has not only been discussed for a day or two, although it is important, but it is not in a hurry to the extent that it cannot wait for a quarter of an hour.

"Forget it, I'll go over and see for myself. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. ”

"Your Majesty, has His Royal Highness the King of Chu done something special?" The eldest grandson Wuji heard that the matter reported by Li Zhong just now should be related to Li Kuan, and immediately became curious.

This guy is going to leave for Liangzhou in a few days, so what else can he come up with?

"All the Qing family should go over with me to take a look, and you will naturally know what the situation is after reading it!"

……

The palace of the king of Chu was very close to the Taiji Palace, but it was just a stick of incense, and Li Shimin appeared in front of them with a group of ministers.

"The old slave greets Your Majesty, I don't know ...... Your Majesty is coming"

"Don't talk nonsense, where is your lord?" Li Shimin interrupted Laifu impatiently.

Li Zhiyun had a good relationship with Li Shimin when he was a child, and he was naturally very familiar with Laifu.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang......" Laifu looked up at the sky, a little tangled,

Li Shimin: "What's wrong with Li Kuan?" ”

Laifu: "Lord, he ...... He is in heaven. ”

Li Shimin's face changed suddenly.

He hates others to deceive him the most, especially he wants to become a wise man through the ages, and he doesn't want any courtiers to deceive him. Now that Laifu is standing in front of him, he dares to open his eyes and say nonsense, is this worth it?

"Blessing! Do you think that I miss my old feelings and dare not kill you? ”

"Your Majesty, Xue Li, the head of the guard of the Xiaguan Chu Palace. The housekeeper didn't lie, the prince he ...... He's really in heaven! Xue Li saw that Li Shimin's face was not good, for fear of causing another misunderstanding, so he immediately stood up and explained, "Your Majesty, look at this cable, is it the hot air balloon that connects this prince?" ”

Following Xue Li's gesture, Li Shimin saw a thick cable hanging in the air not far away, and a large turntable next to it was still slowly rotating, as if the cable was constantly being placed.

In the air, there seemed to be a black shadow in a high place, and the cable went straight into the sky, straight in the direction of the black shadow.

Li Shimin: "Do you want to say that the black shadow is your prince?" ”

Xue Li: "Your Majesty, that black shadow is a huge hot air balloon, and the prince is riding in the hanging basket of the hot air balloon!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the dark shadow and fell silent.

This guy, could it be that he can't do immortal arts?

Is this still the Li Kuan I know?

Why is he always there after the recent lively events in Chang'an City?

Li Shimin didn't speak, and naturally no one dared to speak.

Everybody is just consuming it.

After about another stick of incense, the hot air balloon slowly landed in front of everyone under Dai Quan's operation.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Before Li Kuan could wait for the hot air balloon to land, he found Li Shimin.
