Sure enough, as Li Haochen expected, after the chamberlain rushed into the law field, he quickly dismounted, took down Huang Juan behind him, and said: "The holy decree has arrived, and the loyal military general Li Haochen has received the decree!" ”

Li Haochen hurriedly knelt on the ground and called for his ministers to take orders!

The general meaning of the holy decree is that there are still doubts in the case of the eldest grandson Wuji, and there are facts that have not been examined clearly, so the execution will be suspended, and the eldest grandson Wuji will be brought back to the prison first, and then punished for the crime after the examination is clear, and he will be ordered to enter the palace immediately to face the saint without delay.

Li Haochen knew that this eldest grandson Wuji couldn't be killed today, but at this moment, Li Haochen was more concerned about what was going on, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the waiter into the palace to see Li Yuan, and on the way he also asked the waiter what happened, but the waiter said that he was just an errand runner and didn't know anything, Li Haochen was a little nervous, this is the people around the emperor, they don't know what happened, then this matter is probably a trivial matter.

Li Haochen did not choose to take the carriage, but like the waiter, he chose to ride a horse, and along the way, he quickly rode the horse, passed through the Xuanwu Gate, entered the palace gate, and came to the front of the Taiji Palace.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Haochen found that the crown prince Li Jiancheng was also there, and there was an old man who had passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Li Haochen immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and saw that all three people, including the emperor, had serious expressions, and Li Yuan even had a dark face, it seems that this matter is not small.

After Li Yuan finished saluting Li Haochen, he said: "Haochen, the two khans of the Eastern Turks, Jieli and Turkli, suddenly formed an alliance, sent more than 100,000 troops, reneged on the alliance and invaded together, and have already left Qilian Mountain. I want to invite the people of the world to lead the troops to the battle, but now the strength of Chang'an is empty but tens of thousands, if the real soldiers come to the city, the Tang Dynasty is in danger! The prince said that you have a lot of scheming in your chest, what do you think about this? ”

Li Haochen was also taken aback when he heard this, this is a big deal, he also understood why Li Yuan suddenly didn't kill the eldest grandson Wuji, if he killed the eldest grandson Wuji, then asked Li Shimin to lead the troops to the battle, he would definitely not agree.

Li Haochen also secretly scolded himself for being confused, forgetting such a major historical event, he was familiar with historical materials in his previous life, this incident should have happened after the Xuanwumen Mutiny, Li Shimin became the prince of the East Palace, that is, June of the ninth year of Wude, the Turkic alliance was an excuse for the change of power in the Tang Dynasty, thinking that it was profitable, so they jointly invaded.

However, in this life, because of his appearance, the result of the Xuanwumen Mutiny was changed, and the Tang Dynasty did not change power, so it also produced a butterfly effect, so the Turkic invasion was delayed.

As for why the invasion, Li Haochen naturally knew that this year was a harsh winter, and the Turks had a hard time surviving the winter, so they invaded south on a large scale to grab winter supplies. It is an inevitable move, as for the change of power in the Tang Dynasty, it can only affect the sooner or later they act, and it is not the fundamental reason why they will not invade.

Li Haochen said respectfully when he heard this: "Weichen thinks it is impossible, Your Majesty is doing this, it is really luring the wolf into the room, even if it can solve the current crisis, but this wolf is not familiar with it, and it will inevitably hurt people over time, please think twice!" ”

Li Yuan heard Li Haochen say this about Li Shimin, oh, raised his eyebrows, obviously unhappy, after all, Li Shimin is Li Yuan's son, and he said that other people's sons are probably not happy if they are parents.

However, Li Yuan knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't care about talking to Li Haochen, so he just asked in a cold voice: "Then what do you think?" ”

Li Haochen saw Li Yuan's dissatisfaction, and he didn't hide it at the moment, but said directly: "There are three ways to solve the crisis, and please ask Your Majesty to make a decision!" The first is peace, the second is to fight first and then to peace, and the third is to fight to the end! ”

After Li Yuan listened to Li Haochen's words, he was immediately even more unhappy, who doesn't know, either fight or peace, isn't this equivalent to not saying it? Li Yuan said coldly: "Li Haochen, are you deliberately playing tricks on me? Then tell me how to fight, how to fight? Although Li Yuan is not happy at the moment, he is not a reckless person, the reason why he can be called the emperor and establish the Tang Dynasty depends on one word, that is, stability!

Li Haochen knew that Li Yuan needed a detailed plan now, but that plan was already in Li Haochen's heart, and he immediately said: "If it is peaceful, Your Majesty's ministers heard that Dayu controls the water, but it is not to be blocked, this time the Turks invaded south, it is nothing more than things and cotton clothes and quilts that are urgently needed for winter, Your Majesty can send a minister who can speak to the camp of the second Turkic Khan, ask what he wants, and prepare what he wants, and the purpose of their southern invasion has been achieved bloodlessly, so they can retreat!"

If you fight first and then make peace, then first send a general who can fight well, fight with the Turks, hurt them, and then give them supplies, so that they can withdraw the army, if they directly give them supplies, they will definitely make the Turks think that I Datang is easy to bully, their appetite will definitely get bigger and bigger, so that we can't be satisfied, but if you hurt them first let them know that my Datang Iron Cavalry is not easy to mess with, and then Your Majesty will issue an edict saying that the north is cold and bitter, and reward some cotton clothes and quilts and winter things, it will appear that Your Majesty is benevolent and generous.

If it is a battle to the end, please ask Your Majesty to order all the soldiers of the military government in the world to quickly assemble and destroy the Turks with the strength of the whole country, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, "How do you suggest I choose?" Obviously, Li Yuan had already felt interested in Li Haochen's words.

Li Haochen didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, if he asked the minister to say: "The minister suggested that Your Majesty choose the second plan, the first plan is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst for Datang, although it can solve the temporary crisis, but it will leave future troubles." The third plan is too radical, only nine years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains, which has just experienced the baptism of war, is still recovering, so at this moment to forcibly launch a national war, fearing to shake the country's foundation and cause chaos in the world, Your Majesty still remembers Emperor Yang of Sui's expedition to Goryeo? This is a must-see!

The minister heard that Zhuge Wuhou was conquering the Nanban, and captured Meng Shu, the king of the Nanban in seven and six verticals, and finally made the Nanban surrender. After the first war and with the same meaning, first strike and then pacify, will inevitably make the Turks surrender, even if there is no subjugation, I am afraid of my Tang Iron Cavalry, will not dare to invade the south easily, we can use this time to recuperate and recover national strength, when the time is ripe, and then destroy the Turks in one fell swoop, it is the best policy, and please Your Majesty to see! ”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Good! And so it was settled.

However, Li Yuan very much wanted to know what method Li Haochen could use to fight the Turks, strategically Li Yuan had already understood, but Li Yuan was not clear about the specific tactics, after all, the Turkic forces were several times that of Chang'an, and it was not easy to win more with less.

You must know that Li Yuan's worries are not unreasonable, it is indeed in the era of cold weapons, and it is very difficult to win more with less.

Li Haochen smiled mysteriously at Li Yuan's question: "Your Majesty, if such a thing is handed over to Weichen to do, Weichen promises to complete the task!" ”
