Chapter 440: A game within a game, the four sides fight

Li Fangchen did have concerns in his heart, since Li Chengqian opened his mouth, he felt that he should bring it up, so he said: "Conscription and preparation for war, Goguryeo only appears in the Liaocheng area, his heart is intriguing, and there is another deep meaning, the younger brother thinks that the Duke of Weiguo should be in command and guard Henan Road!" ”

"There is no urgency in this matter, transfer troops first, and order the governors of all provinces to prepare soldiers and horses, and always obey the deployment of the imperial court!"

"Yes, Your Lordship!"

After the court meeting dispersed, Li Chengqian came to Li Fangchen and asked, "Do you really think that Goguryeo will attack Henan Province?" ”

Li Fangchen nodded, his face gloomy, "I had a guess before, but I didn't dare to believe it." But it wasn't until my father left Beijing that I realized that Goguryeo's actions did not mean to turn the tiger away from the mountain. If you enter Henan Province and turn to Hebei Road, you will be flanked by the army led by your father......"

"Come on, go get the map!"

Li Chengqian didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest matter, so he asked people to take the map and spread it out directly.

Looking at the entire Henan Dao, Li Chengqian hesitated, "Second brother, according to your inference, where will Yuan Gai Suwen attack Tang from?" ”

"Haizhou!"

"Why not Dengzhou?"

"Because Yuangai Suwen knows that Dengju is the closest to him in Goguryeo! And Datang also knows that Dengzhou is the most suitable for Yuangai Suwen to go ashore! ”

"I just hope you're wrong......"

The transfer of troops is still in progress, but Li Chengqian is not in a hurry to let Li Jing take command, he is waiting.

In other words, he and Li Fangchen are waiting, waiting for news from Haizhou.

If it is determined that Goguryeo will invade the territory again, he will let Li Jing lead the troops to the battle.

After many days of waiting, there was still no news from Haizhou, but Li Shimin's army sent back the first battle report.

His Majesty went to Pingzhou, saw the remnants of the eleventh class, and inquired about the war.

Eleven was still alive, he knew it before, but it was a pity that Li Xiaogong was buried with the entire Liaocheng in the end.

What is even more unexpected is that Haizhou is not in chaos, but the Turks are in chaos first.

The Eastern Turkic Dao, the former Yantuo Department, and now the Tang Yantuo City are the main masters, summoning many old Turkic tribes who are unwilling to be ruled by the Tang Dynasty in an attempt to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Chengqian received the information, he felt his scalp tingle.

"Second brother, it looks like Wei Guogong has to go to the Turks!"

Invite Li Fangchen to the palace and discuss countermeasures with him.

"Brother Prince, I'll go!"

"You? Stop it. ”

"Let me go, no one knows the Turks better than I do, and I know better how to subdue these people!"

At the beginning, the Eastern and Western Turks were subdued by Li Fangchen and did not rebel for more than ten years.

Now this opportunity is not a coincidence that can be explained at all, and it must be inseparable from Goguryeo.

"No, I can't say yes. Otherwise, don't talk about my father, and my mother won't be able to spare me! ”

Li Jing will leave when he leaves, Li Fangchen will leave?

It's impossible to say anything!

How many years has he not been in contact with the military?

Now let Li Fangchen lead the troops to the battle, that is to harm him!

Obviously, he has no intention of national affairs, but he still has to bother because of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian didn't want his brother to end up with a dead end, like Li Xiaogong.

"Brother Prince, don't make trouble, just let me go, so that there is the Duke of Weiguo, if Yuangai Suwen commands the troops to invade the territory, someone will be able to suppress it!"

"Lone said no, just can't!"

Li Chengqian left angrily, he knew better than anyone that Li Fangchen was now devoted to farming.

Where can you still do the same as before, get on the horse and kill the enemy!

What's more, the time has not yet reached the point where it is irreparable!

The governor of the Western Turkic Province was ordered to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, and the rebel army always numbered about 50,000.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses under the stubborn mind fought and retreated, and they were not opponents at all.

And Bazhuo also has artillery in his hands, not from Tang!

"Damn Goguryeo!"

After Li Chengqian received the news, he angrily slapped the dragon case, and his anger was indescribable.

Immediately afterwards, news came from Haizhou that the Goguryeo warship had appeared and that Haizhou had been lost.

Li Fangchen guessed correctly, the Goguryeo commander who invaded the Tang Dynasty this time was none other than Yuangai Suwen himself.

It seems that he is going to enter the Tang Dynasty from Henan Province, transfer to Hebei Province, and fight back and forth with the Yuan male child in Hebei Province, and eat Li Shimin completely.

2,000 warships, 200,000 Goguryeo soldiers!

Li Chengqian was in a hurry, but fortunately, he had a plan before, and hurriedly ordered Li Jing to take command, the guerrilla general Dou Rang Renye, the general of the Zuo Imperial Guard, Xue Wanche, and the son of Qu Tutong, Jiang Guogong Qu Tushou, as generals!

Raise 150,000 troops and meet the enemy!

Among them, 50,000 people were drawn from the Luoyang Army brought by Qu Tushou, and 50,000 were drawn from the Sixteen Guards, with 50,000 auxiliaries.

Li Chengqian had a hunch that perhaps soon, the news of the defeat of his thinking power would come back, and at that time, the second brother Li Chengyu would have to take command of the expedition.

Today, the defenders of Chang'an, with less than 60,000 people, can be said to be the weakest time in more than ten years.

The bad news is one after another, Tuyuhun Murong Nuo led the people to attack the Yumen Pass of the Great Tang Longyou Dao!

was embattled for a while, and one had to admire Yuan Gai Suwen's calculations.

Fortunately, Tubo did not make a rebellion together, otherwise Li Chengqian would really not be able to bear it.

In desperation, he had to find Li Fangchen again to discuss countermeasures.

As for Li Fangchen's personal assumption of command, Li Chengqian bit his tongue and resolutely disagreed.

Tugu is in turmoil, and there are 20,000 thieves.

After discussion, Li Chengqian and Li Fangchen decided that Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji, two semi-retired veterans, would lead the troops to quell the chaos.

There are 10,000 soldiers in Chang'an and 20,000 soldiers in Longyoudao, a total of 30,000.

As for the Turks, there is no clue yet.

Staying in the palace, Li Chengqian was drunk, accompanied by Li Fangchen.

But I heard the news from the waiter next to me that the queen mother had arrived.

The two hurriedly got up to salute, and the eldest grandson Wujian saw that the two of them had such a face, and only how serious the situation was at this time!

"Qian'er, this palace heard that Yu'er is going to take command to fight the rebellion?"

In front of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian did not lie, but said bluntly: "It's true, but Erchen is worried that he will lose his life because of the fact that the second brother has not interfered in the military for many years!" ”

The eldest grandson nodded, then looked at Li Fangchen, "Yu'er, the Turkic rebellion, can you calm it?" ”

Li Fangchen said: "20,000 people are enough, and Erchen only needs three months!" ”

Now that His Majesty is outside, there are only two people in charge of Chang'an, Li Chengqian and Li Fangchen.

If Li Fangchen goes on the expedition, all the burden will be on Li Chengqian.

In addition, the most worrying thing is whether Li Fangchen will die like Li Xiaogong in the process of quelling the rebellion.

Even the eldest grandson Wujian was equally worried, but the fact is that the Turkic rebellion was far more serious than that of Tuyuhun.

As the mother of a country, how can she regard family affairs more than national affairs?

The Son of Heaven guards the country! The kings shook the Quartet!

Since Yu'er dares to say it, she will definitely be able to do it!

"Qian'er, is there anyone else in Beijing who can be in charge?"

"After returning to my mother...... Chai Zheweike! ”

Fighting everywhere, and because Li Shimin took away fifty percent of the elite generals, at this moment Li Chengqian had to admit that Chang'an had no handsome talents!

"That's right, as long as Yu'er can guarantee a safe return!"

Seeing the truth in adversity, and really encountering trouble, Li Fangchen did not flinch, but was the first to stand up, with his bearing, the King of Qin for so many years has not been in vain!

The eldest grandson Wujian is far more distressed about Li Fangchen than Li Chengqian, but the big and small things still have to be clearly divided.

"Erchen... Sons don't want to! ”

Li Chengqian opposes the decision of the eldest grandson Wuji, even if this decision may anger both the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Fangchen at the same time!

"A reason for Hongu?" seems to be expressionless, but in fact he is secretly angry, and the eldest grandson Wujian can't understand why Li Chengqian is like this.

Li Chengqian said: "The queen mother, the son wants to take command and recruit in person, and the second brother stays in Beijing to supervise the country!" ”

"Brother Prince, are you crazy?" Li Fangchen was very surprised.
