Chapter 10: The Turks Approach

In the court late at night, there was a lot of noise. The two factions of the main and the main station, their faces and ears were red and red, and they almost started it. At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and asked Li Jie: "Mao Gong! What do you think about this? As my military advisor, what is the reason for you not to say a word? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's sudden questioning, Li Ji didn't think much about it, and blurted out: "Don't fight, don't fight." ”

"Oh! What does this mean? Li Shimin asked with a smile. Before Li Ji could speak, Wei Chigong muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this what that little ghost said?" ”

Wei Chigong's muttering was not much lower than Wen Chen's normal voice, and everyone stared at Wei Chigong for a while. What kind of imp is so powerful, and he can also give advice to the military advisor.

"Haha......" Li Ji smiled heartily and said naturally: "At first, I thought he was talking nonsense. But it wasn't until later that I understood what he meant. ”

"So do you want to fight or not? I'm going to slap that kid when I go back, and I'm talking halfway, isn't that interesting? ”

"Huh...... Pump him? Be careful, he says you're naΓ―ve again. Li Ji thought through the meaning of Cai Cong's words, and was in a good mood, so he actually teased Wei Chi Gonglai. Yu Chigong's black face turned brown in a flash, and his forehead was blue.

Just when he was about to get angry, the eldest grandson Wuji said unhappily: "The saint is still waiting for you to reply!" How to play the front here. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji naturally didn't jump out for no reason, he and Li Shimin grew up together, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and he knew what to do.

Li Shimin was also very curious at this time, Li Ji is a well-known think tank, who is qualified to give him ideas? Thinking of this, he asked, "Mao Gong! Who gave you the idea? You must know that you are the number one military advisor in Datang! ”

"Hehe, when you return to Your Majesty's words, you all have some impressions of this person. It is the boy of the Cai family who sold indoctrination chickens a few days ago, which child of a family of nine loyal martyrs. Li Ji said with a smile, since he was asked in the court, he couldn't hide it, so it was better to say it directly. As for how to deal with Cai Cong, the emperor will naturally decide at that time.

"Hmmm! What a child! I remember that he was only eight years old, oh, the lord who stirred Chang'an, do you know who is behind him? Li Shimin said calmly, and at the same time glanced at Li Ji. The content of his words made Li Ji shiver behind him, this is to find out the person behind it!

"When the Huisheng minister was interrogating, the Jingyang bell rang. When the minister and General Wei Chi were about to come to the palace, he said this to the minister. He also said that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband......"

"Yes, yes. I also heard him say that he saw the Turkic attack, and he also saw the locust plague and drought in the next few years. Your Majesty, do you say this thing is evil? Wei Chigong said loudly, in fact, he didn't believe it in his heart.

"This matter will be postponed, Mao Gong, you first say that the Turks are coming, whether to fight or not." At the moment of the great enemy, it is impossible for an eight-year-old child to be taken into account by Li Shimin, so he naturally deals with Turkic affairs first.

"The so-called can't be beaten is because the world has been decided, what Datang needs is to recuperate, and it needs time to clean up some restless people. It is imperative not to fight, because if you directly seek peace, the Turks will surely open their mouths and demand excessively. So we have to make a posture of going to war, so that Jieli knows that if we fight, we will inevitably lose both. ”

"But if that's the case, wouldn't you have to bow your head, this, how aggrieved is this!"

"That's it, that's it, if you want me to say it's better to have a good fight."

The court is about to quarrel into a pot of porridge, for this group of killers who have fought all their lives, it is more difficult to make them unable to use their swords and halberds and bow their heads and admit defeat than to kill them.

"You horsemen know how to kill, kill, kill, don't you know that Datang needs to recuperate and the people need to be stable? Only by convincing people with virtue can I be powerful in all directions, widely spread and educate, and can I make the countries of Fanbang happy and convinced......" A Wenchen in his early forties resisted the spittle of the military minister, and every word showed that he was an old-fashioned master.

"Come on, come on, convince people with virtue, and educate and spread widely, right? If he can't make sense, he will send his brother, and if the brother can't make sense, he will send his nephew and nephew, and if his whole family is dead, the minister is willing to lead troops to help him avenge him. ”

Wei Chigong pulled the middle doctor Zhang Chengwen with a fierce face, his words were full of jokes, and sent Zhang Chengwen to reason with the Turks, and he had to give Jieli a knife?

"Let go, you give the old man a hand, it's really rude and unreasonable." Zhang Chengwen shook off Wei Chigong's hand vigorously, shook his sleeves, and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Wei Chigong is trying to harm the whole family!" Please let Your Majesty call the shots. ”

"Hey...... This general has an opinion, you said that you should convince people with virtue, respect virtue This is an opportunity to give you a name for eternity, why did it become a harm to you? The handsome and handsome Hou Junji came out of the crowd and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner. Anyone who doesn't let them make a career is not a good person.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the court, Zhang Chengwen's face changed, and he only wished that a hole could be opened in the ground to get into, and in the end he could only hide his face with his sleeves and retreat into the corner.

"Shut up, the Turks are approaching at this moment, and you will arrive in Chang'an overnight, and you are still fighting here." Li Shimin slapped the case table in front of him suddenly, and scolded loudly, and the court was immediately silent, everyone, you look at me, I look at yours.

After a while, Li Shimin said in a soft tone: "How should this matter be decided?" Pharmacist, what do you think? ”

Pharmacist Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, later generations even mythologized him, and Li Jing in the Romance of the Gods is actually based on him. In Datang, he belongs to the Dinghai Shenshen level of characters.

"The minister's opinion coincides with that of Mao Gong, the Turkic cavalry of more than 100,000 comes and goes like the wind, and my Chang'an troops are insufficient, and the fight can only be a lose-lose. According to the minister's opinion, the wall was immediately cleared, and the people outside Chang'an City immediately moved into the city, and all the crops outside the city were burned, leaving no grain or grass for the Turks. The whole city mobilized its troops and horses, made a posture of fighting to the death with the Turks, and then sent people to attack the Turks' grain and grass, so that the Turks would inevitably fall into a dilemma. The time, place and people are all in my Datang, so I can't agree to it. ”

Li Jing already had a draft in his heart, and as soon as Li Shimin asked, he told his plan without hurrying.

"The pharmacist deserves to be a pharmacist, and the words go to my heart." Li Shimin said like a spring breeze, Li Jing chuckled in his heart, the master of high merit never ended well. However, he still respectfully thanked Li Shimin for his compliment.

"But the pharmacist said that it was a little less! An order should be issued to let the king of Qin everywhere, so that he can really deter Jieli. When he said this, a hint of determination flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, this was an adventure.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jing immediately panicked. He said, "Your Majesty's move must not be ......"

"The pharmacist doesn't need to say much, I believe that with you here, the Tang Dynasty can be safe." Seeing that the first person to come out to stop him was Li Jing, Li Shimin's heart flashed with a trace of emotion, but this emotion was immediately left behind by him, and the emperor didn't need such emotions.

Several ministers who had seen through opened their mouths, but finally shut up silently and waited for Li Shimin's dispatch. When this lord was the king of Qin, he was very courageous. If you are in control today, you are even more arrogant and want to suppress everything.

The emperor asserted the rise and fall of the emperor, and Li Shimin wanted to create a situation of war, and the civil and military generals naturally did not dare to hold back. The 10,000 troops of the left Wuwei were stationed outside the city of Chang'an, and the 12,000 troops of the right Wuwei were stationed on the banks of the Weishui River.

Wei Chi Gong was ordered to lead the army to advance in danger, blocking the Turkic army in Jingzhou, and the 200,000 troops of Jieli and the Turkic army were mighty, and they did not see each other. The big war is about to start!
