"What?"

After holding back for so many days, he finally looked forward to getting together with his lover, but when this love was strong, he was disturbed by others, which was really unpleasant, but Li Xian did not get angry, just because he knew very well that Luo Tong was a person who knew the importance of things, if it wasn't for something big, he would never dare to run out at this time to spoil the scenery, so although Li Xian's heart was unhappy, there was no displeasure on his face, and he just asked in a calm tone.

"Your Highness, news came from the front line, General Xue was defeated in Dafeichuan, only 5,000 of the 100,000 troops survived, the four towns of Tuyuhun and Anxi were lost, and the military report has arrived in Beijing, and it will be to Luoyang within a few days!" As Li Xian's confidant, Luo Tong knows Li Xian's likes and dislikes, and he doesn't want to disturb Li Xian at such a time, but the stakes are very high, Luo Tong didn't dare not come to report the news, this hearing Li Xianjian asked, Luo Tong didn't care about Zhao Qiong was still on the side, and hurriedly reported the news he knew.

Damn, it happened after all! When Li Xian heard this, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and his face instantly turned terrifyingly black - Li Xian, who had experience in his previous life, knew the before and after of the battle of Dafeichuan, and also knew that the cause of defeat in the battle in his previous life was due to the arrogance and disobedience of the deputy marshal Guo Beifeng, as early as the beginning of the year when he agreed to send troops, Li Xian made a lot of efforts to try to change the trend of this battle, not only did he go to the book himself, but also united Li Xian to speak together, resolutely opposing Guo Beifeng as Xue Rengui's deputy, However, the crown prince resolutely supported Guo Beifeng, who served him, and the lawsuit went all the way to Luoyang Gaozong, and the final result was that the prince had the last laugh, and then, Li Xian wrote to Xue Rengui, clearly stating that Guo Beifeng was not credible, and hoped that he would consider this point in detail when formulating the battle plan, it can be said that Li Xian had done his best to do his best, but unfortunately the defeat was not reversed in the end, and Li Xian's heart was full of anger and helplessness.

"Your Highness......"

The Tang Dynasty has always been invincible in foreign conquests, and rarely defeated, even for the tenacious Goguryeo, although the previous campaigns were fruitless, but the battlefield situation has always been the first to occupy the initiative, and the year before last it was completely wiped out, the people of the Tang Dynasty all thought that ** was an invincible army, Zhao Qiongzi was no exception, at this time, when he heard that the famous General Xue was defeated so badly, he was so surprised that his face turned pale, and then he saw Li Xian's face as black as the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't help but worry, which called timidly.

"It's okay to be alone."

Although Li Xian was extremely angry in his heart, since the matter had happened, he couldn't escape what he should face, besides, Li Xian didn't want Zhao Qiong to worry, so he replied with a forced smile.

"Your Highness, as soon as this matter comes out, the world will shake, Your Highness, you better go and get busy first."

Li Xian's smile was too reluctant, Zhao Qiong would not fail to see it, so he bit his red lip lightly and made an empathetic suggestion.

"Qiong'er, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I really have to rush into the palace."

Wind and snow and moon need to be interesting, and this is obviously not a good time to talk about love, so although he is reluctant in his heart, Li Xian can only shake Zhao Qiong's little hand apologetically and say gently.

"Your Highness, go quickly, the concubine is fine."

Zhao Qiong was also very reluctant to let Li Xian leave, but she was not an ordinary woman after all, and she could tell the weight of the matter, so she replied gently.

"Well, Luo Tong, escort Qiong'er back home for Lone."

Li Xian didn't say any more, nodded, and after glancing at Zhao Qiong affectionately, he resolutely turned around and walked in the direction of the mountain gate without looking back......

100,000 troops, said that it was gone, Li Xian was so distressed, but compared to the current losses, what made Li Xian even more troubled was that after this battle, the situation in the west would be eroded, if there was no miracle, there would be no possibility of subsiding within decades, during which I don't know how many lives I had to sacrifice, and I didn't know how much financial and material resources I had to fill in, and all this could have been avoided, but now it has still become like this, how can Li Xian not be heartbroken.

Strength, everything is still strength in the final analysis! If Li Xian is already the emperor at this moment, or if he is already the crown prince, such a fiasco will not appear at all, but unfortunately he is not, in the face of the erosive situation, Li Xian has never looked forward to controlling the power as at this moment, maybe it is time to make some changes!

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

The carriage had already stopped in the small square in front of Zetianmen for a while, but he never saw any reaction from Li Xian in the car, so Gao Miao had to come to the side of the curtain and called twice in a low voice.

"Hmm."

Hearing the sound, Li Xian immediately woke up from his contemplation, only then did he realize that the carriage had arrived at its destination, and after a light sound, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car, raised his eyes to look at the majestic Zetianmen, sighed, strode towards the palace gate, handed over the waist card to see, and after a few moments, there was a call to enter the palace.

“…… Say, tell me how there can be such a great defeat, peace treaty? Peace treaty! What a peace treaty under a big defeat, I am angry, I am humiliated, Xue Rengui is negative, I am ......"

Li Xianfang just walked into the gate of Deyang Palace, and when he saw the gray and defeated Gaozong, he waved the military newspaper in his hand angrily, and some incoherent words in his mouth were angry, and the crazy appearance frightened Hao Chujun, Li Jingxuan, Jiang Ke and several other important ministers who served in Luoyang were all colorless, and they each lowered their heads, not daring to answer Gaozong's words, and Empress Wu, who has always liked to stretch out his hand indiscriminately in government affairs, also closed her mouth obediently this time, just sat silently beside Gaozong, and her face was extremely serious.

"The son knocks on his father."

Li Xian had long expected that Gaozong would be furious after learning the news of the defeat, but when he really saw Gaozong's frenzied state, he still felt uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to rush forward and respectfully bow and pay respects.

"Xian'er came just in time, alas, the front line was defeated, I really regret not listening to Xian'er's advice at the beginning, that Guo Beifeng is really unbearable, waste, waste, I, I want to cut off this dog's head!"

As soon as he saw Li Xian's face, Gaozong immediately remembered the lawsuit for changing the commander at the beginning of the year, and his old face couldn't help but blush, and after sighing, he angrily cursed again.

Behead? What's the use? But it can only be angry, what can it do to make up for things, this is not only a matter of Guo Beifeng's incompetence, it is completely because the big ** system has gone seriously wrong - and today's big ** is a handsome general, but in fact, how many can be useful? The backbone of the army is basically Guo Zhifeng (his father Guo Xiaoke) and others who rely on their father's prestige to be reused in the army, Qiu Shenxian, Li Jingye and the like abound, although it is not excluded that there are Li Boyao, Cheng Wuting and other people with real talent and learning, but most of them are mediocre talents, the lack of channels for the promotion of generals in the army, and the gradual deterioration of the government military system are the deepest problems of this defeat, which Li Xianzi has long known in his heart, and has long wanted to make some changes. However, Li Xian has no room to meddle in military affairs at all, even if he wears a hat of "Prince Zhibing" on his head, it is the same, because first, the military is talking about seniority, which round to get Li Xian such a careless prince to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, second, the military is a taboo, it has always been the emperor's taboo, and it is bad luck to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, even if Li Xian has the heart to change, he can only wait for the right time, in this sense, this defeat of Dafeichuan certainly made Li Xian sad, but at the same time, However, it gave Li Xian a chance to take the first step in the reform of the military system, and as for whether it can succeed, it depends on how well Li Xian performs in this meeting.

"My father's anger is calm, according to the opinion of his sons, and now that the matter is out, we should take the aftermath as the priority, and hope that my father will learn from it."

Li Xian did not discourage himself because of Gaozong's confession, let alone lose his color because of Gaozong's anger, and he did not intend to fall into the trap for Guo Beifeng, but only persuaded him in a calm tone.

"Hmm."

Although Gaozong was angry, he didn't lose his mind after all, and he didn't object to Li Xian's words, but he was angry, and he really didn't want to say more, so he snorted sullenly, raised his hand, and motioned for Li Xian to continue.

"Father, the defeat on the front line has been decided, and all kinds of matters such as pensions and merits should be agreed upon by each department, but there is no hurry for a while, you can go step by step, however, there is one thing that cannot be delayed, that is, immediately send troops to rebel again, so that the Tibetan thieves will not have a chance to breathe!" Li Xian bowed down and said in a resolute tone.

"Huh? This ......"

Gaozong obviously didn't expect Li Xian to propose to continue using troops at this time, so he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Li Xian in disbelief, and was speechless for a long time.

"Why did Xian'er say that?"

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, not only Gaozong was stunned, but also the important ministers below couldn't react, and everyone's faces were full of surprise, but the military queen, who didn't know anything about military affairs, was still able to maintain her composure, and asked a question from the side.

"The queen mother, after the defeat of our army, the situation in the west is already erosive, the morale of the thief army is greatly boosted, the rampant heart will inevitably be great, if you don't meet the head-on attack, the future disaster will be heavy, although our army is defeated now, the enemy is also tired, if you can take this opportunity to send troops, do not seek to destroy the enemy, but to win the last game, one can save the morale of the army, and the other can also suppress the wolf ambition of the thief, why not?" Li Xian dared to propose a counterattack when he was newly defeated, and naturally he had careful consideration, and at this time, he heard the question of the Empress Wu, and explained the reasons in detail without hurrying.

Li Xian said generously, but the military is not child's play, it is naturally not without risk to send troops again after a new defeat, in case of defeat and defeat, the situation may be difficult to control, everyone in the palace is an old age, and they will not see the stakes, no one has spoken for a while, and they all pondered silently......
