Cai Cong immediately pulled him aside, and said with a dark face: "Your Majesty has promised Hou Junji's daughter to you, don't you want to beat my sister's idea, not everyone is the queen's mother, I don't want my sister to enter the palace and die in vain." ”

"I, I...... You said that you are free to fall in love, and I can pursue your sister. The more Li Chengqian spoke, the quieter he became, his face became redder and redder, Cai Cong's face was dark, and he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

"Hurry up and get out, I'm annoyed when I look at you." Cai Cong said impatiently, Li Chengqian smiled, and ran to find Chu Yao to offer courtesy. Cai Cong sighed, and only hoped that Chu Yao would not be tempted, the palace was so dark, he was really afraid that Chu Yao would be polluted.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was some commotion ahead, and a group of soldiers covered in mud twisted a few people in strange costumes and walked towards Cai Cong. Cai Cong glanced at it, and immediately became solemn, it was actually a group of Turks.

"What's going on?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, these Turks trampled on the farmland on horseback, and without remorse, they injured several people who stepped forward to dissuade them." A warrior said and kicked the Turk.

Cai Cong beckoned, and the warrior kicked again, and the Turk suddenly knelt on the ground. Cai Cong slapped his backhand, looked at the Turkic man who still had a fierce face, and said with a sneer: "Teach them what attitude to use to talk to me." ”

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and beat them severely, as long as it was a painful place, they would greet them desperately, and after a while they knelt in front of Cai Cong like the most docile dogs.

"Who are you?"

"We are the most loyal warriors of the great Tuli Khan, and we have come to the Tang Kingdom to borrow troops from the Tang Emperor, you had better let us go, otherwise your emperor will not let you go."

"It turned out to be a group of lost dogs, who left their money and valuable things as compensation and sent people to Honglu Temple." Cai Cong said disdainfully, this group of people still thought that the current Turks were the Turks of the late Sui Dynasty, and they could walk sideways when they walked to the Tang Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Cai Cong received an order for him to enter the palace immediately, Cai Cong entered the palace without saying a word, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji had already arrived, seeing Cai Cong nodding at him, he didn't speak with a solemn face.

Tuli came to ask for help, whether Datang sent troops or not, this is a very serious question.

The participants only chatted with more than a dozen people, and Cai Cong found that he had become the most important decision-making circle in Datang at the age of the chief horn.

Li Shimin walked in and waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not need to salute, and asked straight to the point: "Tuli came to ask for help, hoping that Datang can send troops to attack Jieli, what do you think?" ”

"The minister has been waiting for this shameful opportunity for more than two years, and the minister invites the troops to fight, and he will definitely break through the king's tent." Li Jing didn't say a word and knelt down directly to ask for battle, as the commander of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, he has always been worried about the siege of Chang'an by the Turks.

"The ministers also ask for war, and the humiliation that the Turks inflicted on me in the Tang Dynasty must be washed in blood." Except for Cai Cong, everyone knelt down, the emperor was called the emperor, and the people were slaughtered as cattle and sheep, but they were helpless, looking at Jieli and others laughing wildly, the kind of shame gnawed the hearts and livers of Li Shimin's ministers day and night, and it was almost unbearable.

"The minister does not agree to fight at this moment." Cai Cong shouted loudly, Li Shimin's monarchs and ministers all glared at him angrily, everyone is just going through the motions before sending out the troops, ventilate what are you stirring up here?

"Cai Cong, do you know what you're talking about?" Li Gang stood up and roared at Cai Cong for the first time.

"Master Li, don't be angry, I naturally know what to say, and please don't get carried away by anger." Cai Cong said calmly, the Weishui Alliance is the biggest humiliation in the hearts of their monarchs and ministers, and they always use waiting for the next day to fight again to anesthetize themselves, but now that the time has come, whoever stops them is a mortal enemy.

"Tell me your reasoning." Li Shimin said with difficulty, he was trying his best to restrain his urge to smash the inkstone at Cai Cong.

"Last winter, the Turks were cold, and countless cattle, sheep and horses froze to death, and the Turkic invasions were fought back by us several times, but they were robbed by the Tibetans who came down from the plateau, which greatly damaged their vitality."

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him, this is the theory put forward by your Chang'an Hou, the old man has always been kind to him, and now is a good time." Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

"But now the Turks are just catching a cold, and they are not terminally ill." Cai Cong said calmly.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Yiguo asks to see you." Yan Dong walked in and said.

"Why is Uncle Bao here, hurry up and invite him to come in and take an extra seat!" Li Shimin hurriedly said that since Qin Shubao was sick, he had the name of General Zuo Wuwei, but he no longer paid attention to military affairs, and he actually came today.

"Minister, please see Your Majesty."

"Uncle Bao, hurry up and excuse me, you have an injury, sit down quickly." Li Shimin hurriedly said, and after Qin Shubao thanked him, he greeted everyone and sat down.

"Although the minister is sick in bed, but I heard that I want to fight Jieli, I came immediately, and the minister is the vanguard army, and I will definitely kill the enemy and conquer the land, and raise the prestige of my Tang Dynasty."

Qin Qiong said loudly, he still knew himself very well, he had the courage to charge before the battle, but he was inferior to Li Jing in commanding and dispatching the army.

"Come slowly, now Chang'an Hou doesn't agree to send troops, and I'm looking for him for a reason at the moment." Li Gang looked at Cai Cong and said expressionlessly, an old pedant like him can put it on his face directly like this, and the old man is very disgusted with your expression at this moment, which shows how unhappy he is in his heart.

When Qin Qiong heard Li Gang's words, she immediately glared at Cai Cong, so frightened that Cai Cong's back was cold, this is the master who is regarded as the god of the door, killing people without blinking, it is no wonder that he is not afraid to be stared at like this!

"Uncle Bao, don't scare him, I still want to hear his opinions." Li Shimin said coldly, Cai Cong has offended everyone today.

"Actually, it's not that I won't fight, it's just that if we drag it out, it will be colder this winter, and there will be more Turkic dead cattle, horses, people and animals. The Turks had a barbarian habit of giving food to the warriors first to the warriors when there was not enough to eat in winter, then to the women and children, and the older and the disabled had nothing to eat, and were either killed or driven away. Last year they had a very difficult time, but there were not many people killed, this year they are even more difficult, they will kill a lot of people, and when they come next year, they will find that life is still not good, and next year's wind and snow will be a little smaller, but at that time, the Turks are already seriously injured, whether it is Jieli or Turki, they will lose control of the Turks, so they will fight next year. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying, in my opinion, you can send troops now and beat him on his back." Qin Shubao patted the case and shouted, Cai Cong's words, he didn't understand, but they were eager to wash away the shame of digging bones.

"Punch, spank! There is no surplus of 10,000 yuan in the treasury, and the poor people of the household and military departments can't send it, so they have found a reason to loot my house, what are you fighting now? ”

Cai Cong's hands were red and swollen, and they all looked at their heads and didn't care about their heads, they wanted to fight, do you have money in your money bags?

Fang Xuanling couldn't raise his head in shame, thinking about shame, but he just looted Cai Cong's money, and even a month's food and grass for the army was not enough, what a fart!
