The autumn of the fifth year of Zhenguan is an autumn of harvest.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has made great efforts, and when Zhenguan was four years old, development broke out, destroyed the Eastern Turks, and brought Jieli to Chang'an City to dance.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the previous act of gritting his teeth and building water conservancy has also been harvested, and Guanzhong ushered in a bumper year. Food prices have also hit record lows.

It stands to reason that Li Shimin should be very happy.

However, the northwestern border was unstable, and there were various reports of urgency one after another, which completely ruined Li Shimin's mood.

Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty, Niu Jinda has already written a few days ago that after His Royal Highness the King of Chu arrived in Liangzhou City, the cohesion of the army and the people has risen to a new level, and it is impossible for the Western Turks to capture Liangzhou City this year, and Weichen feels that His Majesty does not need to worry too much." ”

After the court meeting ended, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and others to stay to discuss state affairs.

Li Kuan has been going to Liangzhou for a month, but the situation in the northwest has not improved at all, and even news has come from several surrounding state capitals that the nearby Tuyuhun has not been honest recently, and from time to time there are small groups of "horse thieves" invading, and I don't know whether these horse thieves are real horse thieves or Tuyuhun people wearing the skin of horse thieves.

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't want to destroy the people's livelihood construction that had just entered the fast lane within the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin really wanted to send a few armies and directly destroy the Western Turks and Tuyuhun.

"What Fang Xiang said is also reasonable, the top priority is to accumulate strength, the rebellion in the northwest is only temporary, and it will not endanger the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and when the treasury is abundant, we will teach them a lesson."

finally got Li Kuan to Liangzhou, the eldest grandson Wuji naturally didn't want the court to provide any help to Liangzhou at this time, if he really wanted people to give people and things to give things, then maybe it would become a credit to Li Kuan.

This is naturally not in line with the original intention of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Let Li Kuan toss in Liangzhou.

Even if the Western Turks retire this year, who can guarantee that they will not come back next year?

If Li Kuan wants to return to Chang'an City, it will not be so easy.

The eldest grandson Wuji was secretly happy in his heart that his plan had succeeded, and on the other hand, he seemed to support Fang Xuanling fairly.

"These days, I feel a little uneasy in my heart. This Li Kuan, I'm afraid that when he arrives in Liangzhou City, he will have nothing to do. Li Shimin faintly regretted that he shouldn't have sent Li Kuan to Liangzhou.

Although Liangzhou is Li Kuan's fiefdom, letting other high-ranking officials of the imperial court sit in the town will not have a worse effect than Li Kuan. Even if they want to be a disciple of the clan, Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong seem to be more suitable.

However, everyone has already arrived in Liangzhou, and it is useless to regret it, I just hope that he will not really cause an accident.

In the face of military affairs, even if his son makes a mistake, he must be severely punished.

"Your Majesty, the recent performance of His Royal Highness the King of Chu has greatly improved, and I believe that after training in Liangzhou, he can become a real pillar of the imperial court."

Fang Xuanling naturally understood Li Shimin's worries, but he couldn't persuade too much.

is really full of bad deeds in the past, and it is not a short period of image change that can make many people change their views.

"I naturally hope that Kuan'er can enter Xuanling as you said, but when I think of the situation in the northwest these days, I feel a little frightened, and I always feel that something big is going to happen."

Just as Li Shiming sighed, a little eunuch led a post man with a dusty face to trot to the door of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, it's urgent to come from Liangzhou for eight hundred miles."

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, he found that the room full of people were staring at him in astonishment, as if they were going to eat him alive, and his legs could not stand.

Fortunately, he didn't need to say anything more, Li Zhong stepped forward to take the fold, checked it briefly, and handed it to Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others glanced at each other, with worried expressions on their faces.

But any eight-hundred-mile rush is a very urgent and important matter; If it comes from the border gates, it is even more important of the most important, because it often means a major military situation.

Liangzhou has been tossed by the Western Turks for several months, and now an eight-hundred-mile rush has suddenly come, what good thing can it be?

It can't be that Liangzhou City is broken, right?

After Li Shimin took the recital, he was also nervous.

I just said that I was uneasy, could it be that it was fulfilled so quickly?

"This Li Kuan! I didn't listen to the order, did I really think that Liangzhou City was Chang'an?" Li Shimin quickly finished reading the content of the recital, but his mood did not improve at all.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Could it be that something happened to His Royal Highness the King of Chu? Eldest Sun Wuji asked with concern.

Could it be that God has eyes, I just got him to Liangzhou, and he had an accident? The eldest grandson Wuji thought to himself in his heart.

"See for yourselves!"

Li Shimin threw the fold on the table and turned back and forth in the hall in a huff.

"This His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also ...... It's too worry-free, isn't it? His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that the defenders of Liangzhou cannot easily leave the city, and he actually dares to disobey the holy decree? ”

After the eldest grandson Wuji watched the recital, he was secretly happy.

This letter was written by Niu Jinda himself, and his private seal was on it, looking at the appearance, it should have been written after Li Kuan did not listen to persuasion and left Liangzhou City.

"The Western Turks have at least 20,000 cavalry in Liangzhou, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu only has a thousand guards, these people are outside the city, aren't they sending war exploits to the Western Turks?"

Wei Zheng has always dared to say anything, not to mention that Li Kuan is just a prince, even if it is the crown prince and Li Shimin, he will say the same.

"Your Majesty, it is imperative to think about the consequences of this incident and prepare a way to deal with it in advance." Fang Xuanling felt that everyone had already left the city, even if it was eight hundred miles to rush over, it would have been two or three days ago.

Maybe the next time the news comes, it's Li Kuan being captured or something.

So this is, you need to think about how to deal with subsequent changes.

"What to deal with, what to deal with! This Li Kuan let him die at the hands of the Western Turks. Li Shimin was really angry.

If Li Kuan had stayed in Liangzhou City, as long as he had waited another month or two, it would have snowed heavily on the grassland, and the crisis would have been naturally lifted.

But now out of town, it's a completely different story.

Whether Li Kuan was killed or captured, it was very troublesome.

If a prince of the Tang Dynasty is killed, and there is no movement in the court, it will affect morale too much; But if you really send a large army to set off, you will completely destroy your original intention of recuperation, and you may not be able to catch up with it in time.

And if Li Kuan is captured, it will be even more depressing.

"Report! Your Majesty, 800 miles expedited, Liangzhou City has another 800 miles expedited! ”
