Mobei's challenge made the generals of the Tang Dynasty see the opportunity to kill the enemy and make contributions.

Previously, because Li Chengqian captured the entire high-ranking officials and the most loyal soldiers of Xue Yantuo's Khan's tent, Xue Yantuo was considered to be destroyed, so Li Shimin and civil officials both advocated peace talks, and the more than 100,000 Tang troops brought by Li Shiji could only be used as a deterrent force for each talk.

But no one expected that Li Chengqian would openly kill all the high-ranking officials of Xue Yantuo, which made the Mobei tribes dare not easily believe in the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Turkic Jili Khan had led troops south to plunder the Tang Dynasty many times, and after being captured, he was only supported in Chang'an.

Therefore, the Mobei tribes must unite so that Datang does not dare to despise it in order to get what they want.

In this case, Datang will not fight, and if he wants to succeed in peace talks with the Mobei tribes, he will have to pay a price, which Li Shimin is not willing to bear.

It's just that the general hasn't spoken yet, but Fang Xuanling has spoken first.

"Your Majesty, the son of Yi Nan, who has been established by the Mobei tribes, has become a khan, I am afraid that it is due to the fear of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's killing and surrendering." Fang Xuanling just sat in the seat and analyzed the reason, but did not mention how to deal with it.

Hou Junji heard the words, stood up directly, walked to the center of the hall, and arched his hand upward: "Liang Guogong's words are wrong, the rule of the north and south of the desert is that the winner is king, since my Tang Dynasty has broken through Xue Yantuo, Khan, Yinan and others, the life and death are naturally in my Tang Dynasty's thoughts."

Since the day when Xue Yantuo's tent was broken, the Mobei tribes should take the initiative to come and ask for surrender, and the future will be left to His Majesty's decision.

But these people are wolf-like, and they all want to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to unify Mobei and become the second Xue Yantuo, and now seeing that the Tang Dynasty wants to unify the north and south of the desert, it is simply unreasonable for them to launch a bazhuo to confront the Datang.

The minister, please lead the troops to the front line in person, for the Tang Dynasty, for His Majesty, to kill the Mobei Zhuyi. ”

Hou Jun gathered a generous speech, and then bowed to the end to ask Li Shimin for war.

Li Shimin sat on the throne expressionlessly, but he knew in his heart, what Fang Xuanling and Hou Junji said made sense, he himself preferred Hou Junji's domineering, but he didn't want to reuse Hou Junji now, so he still didn't say anything.

Hearing this, Li Shiji walked out expressionlessly and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since the Mobei tribes have established Bazhuo as the khan, this battle is inevitable, and the minister Youtian is the general manager of the Shuozhou Dao marching army, and should be on the front line, please immediately set off to Shuozhou Dao Battalion to lead the troops to deal with the Mobei tribes." ”

Li Shiji was recalled to discuss whether to follow Li Chengqian's recital to exterminate the Mobei tribes, and now because the Mobei tribes have supported Bazhuo as the khan, this battle is inevitable.

Li Shiji was naturally anxious to go to the front line to preside over the overall situation, otherwise he would really be replaced by Hou Junji.

Li Shimin looked at the two generals who invited to fight and said, "Junji and calm down first." When Hou Junji heard this, he knew that Li Shimin still didn't plan to use him, so he got up angrily and walked back to his seat.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji's displeasure and sighed in his heart, but ignored it, still nodded at Li Shiji and said, "Then work hard, go to the barracks to stabilize the situation first." ”

"Obey the order!" Li Shiji saluted again and exited the hall directly, and immediately set off for the military camp of the general manager of the Shuozhou Road March.

Watching Li Shiji withdraw, Li Shimin knew that it was no longer suitable to discuss how to deal with Li Chengqian today, but thinking that the attitude of the ministers just now was still angry, he raised his arm and said loudly: "You all go down!" ”

The ministers smiled bitterly in their hearts, and some even hoped that Li Chengqian would come back soon so that Li Shimin would be angry......

The ministers here were angry with Li Shimin because of Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian was very happy on the road.

This time, Li Chengqian led 8,000 cavalry with one person and two horses, and every action was a galloping of 10,000 horses, which made Li Chengqian really addicted to galloping.

The generals around him knew that Li Chengqian was unhappy when he was seized of military power, so he obeyed his wishes on the march, and there were 8,000 cavalry to protect Li Chengqian's safety.

On this day, Li Chengqian rode a war horse and ran all morning, feeling that his legs were weak, looking up at the sky and seeing that the sun was almost in the middle, he lowered his horse speed, walked to the edge of a pine forest and saw that the terrain was a suitable place to rest, Li Chengqian ordered the army to rest here.

After getting off the war horse, Su Dingfang went to check on the situation of the army dismounting and resting, Xu Jingzong also went to ask if there were any foreign documents to deal with this morning, Li Chengqian was tired and weak, and helped Liu Kui to walk under a pine tree, leaning against the tree and sitting on the soft pine needles, his eyes looking at the surrounding environment from time to time.

At this moment, Cheng Wuting ran over from the rear army and asked, "How long will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest here at noon today?"

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian didn't understand that the noon break every day in the past few days was an hour, so why did he suddenly ask today?

couldn't help but raise his head and look at Cheng Wuting suspiciously.

Cheng Wuting saw Li Chengqian's confusion, and hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been marching continuously for the past few days, and the soldiers and horses are a little tired, so I wonder if I will camp here today?"

Li Chengqian wanted to stand up and take a look when he heard this, Liu Kui went to prepare something for him and was not by his side, so he suddenly got weak and almost didn't fall, and the guards and Cheng Wuting around him hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Li Chengqian leaned against the big tree and said with a wry smile on his face: "It's really tiring to ride a horse for a few days in a row, you go and ask General Su, if this place is suitable for camping, let's camp here." ”

"Order!" Cheng Wuting said excitedly when he heard this.

At this time, Liu Kui brought a tiger skin mat and laid it out for Li Chengqian, and Cheng Wuting helped Li Chengqian sit down before leaving happily.

Li Chengqian looked at the back of Cheng Wuting leaving, and said with a smile: "In the end, I am still young, and I can't stand it after only a few days of rapid marching." ”

Cheng Wuting found a high slope next to the pine forest and saw Su Dingfang checking the terrain, so he walked over and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed not to rush today." ”

Su Dingfang nodded when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not ridden much in recent years, and he has been obviously weak in traveling for several days but does not propose to camp and rest, which is really embarrassing for him." ”

Cheng Wuting nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's it, just stood up-" Speaking of this, seeing Su Dingfang's face sank, he hurriedly stopped.

"This high slope is the best place to camp in the vicinity, so you can take people to camp here." Su Dingfang said that he walked down the high slope and walked towards Li Chengqian's resting place.

As soon as Su Dingfang approached Li Chengqian's resting place, he saw Qiu Xinggong, who was exploring the road in front, back, and knew that there was something ahead and hurriedly strode over.

"What should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do now?" Qiu Xinggong was asking Li Chengqian for something, and his tone was quite eager.

Li Chengqian had already seen Su Dingfang coming, so he said lightly: "Qiu Qing will talk to General Su first." ”

Qiu Xinggong is now the general of the right military hou when he enters the court, and the title of the head of the march of Xiazhou Road is the prince of Tianshui County, and both the officials are higher than Su Dingfang, although Li Chengqian reuses Su Dingfang, but Qiu Xinggong does not give Su Dingfang much face.

At this time, when he heard this, he turned around and saw Su Dingfang coming, so he hurriedly said: "General Su is not good, we are surrounded by tens of thousands of troops from Xue Yantuo. ”

The veteran had run out of ideas.
