Chapter 251: Selecting Generals

The New Year has not passed, and the officials have not yet started the new year's work.

Suddenly there was an urgent report from the border gate.

In the imperial study, a eunuch trotted in.

"Holy Lord, the border is urgent."

After hearing the four words of the border emergency report, Li Yuan's expression suddenly moved, and he hurriedly took it and looked at it, and when he finished reading it, he was immediately furious: "Damn, Tuguhun is so bold, he actually bullied me like this Tang Dynasty, came to someone, and passed on the ministers to the court." ”

The palace people scattered in all directions, and about half an hour later, the main hall was already full of civil and military officials, and even many officials who were already old were called.

Everyone looked at each other and whispered, they knew that something must have happened to announce them in such a hurry.

"Holy Lord, I don't know why Xuanchen and others are coming?" Pei Lin was the first to speak.

Li Yuan's expression was solemn, and he passed on the border emergency report: "Tuyuhun is hateful, he dares to covet the land of my Tang Qingzhou, and now he has sent troops to surround Qingzhou, Qingzhou is in danger, do you Aiqing have a good plan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked and angry.

"Tuyuhun is so bold, the saint, the minister thinks that he should immediately send troops to support Gyeongju and repel Tuyuhun."

"That's right, send troops to repel Tuyuhun, you must not let them be so arrogant."

"They want food, and if they don't give it, they beat them severely."

"That is, if you increase their arrogance, you will still trouble me Datang in the future, and the best way is to directly fight them......"

The men of Datang are hot-blooded, and they have never thought of compromise, in their opinion, the solution to everything is only roughness and the simplest.

Everyone, you said word by word, Li Yuan nodded: "You Aiqing is right, if you dare to offend my Datang, let them know how powerful my Datang is, and let them always remember it, in this case, that Aiqing is willing to lead the troops to the battle?" ”

Li Yuan's voice fell, and Xue Wanche had already stood up.

"Holy Lord, the last general is willing to lead the troops and repel Tuyuhun."

Although Li Jiancheng knew that his father was not at ease with him, and might not let him, nor let his people lead the troops, he still wanted to try, what if he could?

As soon as Xue Wanche stood up, someone also stood up.

"Holy Lord, the last general is willing to lead the troops to the battle......"

For a while, many generals came forward, among these people, there were Li Jiancheng's people, and some of them were Li Shimin's people, but Li Shimin's people were relatively weak, and many people didn't know that they were Li Shimin's people.

The two sides quarreled in the main hall, but Li Shimin just stood in the main hall and didn't say a word, the scene was a little out of control, Li Yuan frowned, and said: "It's a good thing that you are willing to contribute to the country, but you don't have to fight like this." ”

At this time, the hall was finally quieter.

Li Yuan glanced at it and asked, "Pei Aiqing, who do you think is the right person to lead the troops?" ”

Pei Lin is a little inclined to Li Jiancheng, but judging from the current situation, if Li Jiancheng's people are allowed to lead the troops, I am afraid that this matter will never be settled.

And he himself didn't want Li Yuan to know that he was Li Jiancheng's person, so after being asked, he said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks General Sima is good." ”

There are not many people with the surname Sima in the court, so General Sima in Pei Lian's mouth refers to Sima Linzhao.

And after Pei Lin finished speaking, everyone looked at Sima Linzhao, Sima Linzhao stood in the crowd, originally inconspicuous, but at this time, he was looked at by everyone, and he was suddenly a little uncomfortable.

He was about forty years old, almost fifty years old, and he was also considered burly, and when he was looked at by everyone, he immediately stood up: "Holy Lord, the last general is willing to lead the troops to the battle." ”

When Li Yuan saw Sima Linzhao, he knew what Pei Lin meant, because this Sima Linzhao did not belong to any party, he was a military general, and because of this, he had not been promoted much.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he has not made much feats, although he is brave, but his strategy is somewhat lacking.

"Okay, since General Sima is willing to lead the troops to the battle, then I will order you to gather 20,000 soldiers and horses as quickly as possible and rush to Gyeongju."

"Whoa!"

At the end of the day, everyone retreated one after another.

And the news quickly spread in Chang'an City, and some people, before the end of the year, took weapons into the barracks.

Qin Mansion.

After Qin Tian heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

There is still a war between Datang and Tuyuhun in the end, and although this war is instigated by someone behind it, he and the Ninth Princess are also duty-bound.

Some people, in order to achieve their own goals, can indeed do whatever it takes, even if it is to plunge more people into war and sacrifice their lives.

This kind of method is not done by everyone, and it must be ruthless.

It's just that what makes Qin Tian a little strange is that neither the crown prince nor the king of Qin's people have been able to grab the power to lead the troops, so will the people behind the scenes be a little disappointed?

Qin Tian held his chin and thought about it, and then shook his head again, he felt that he was thinking too much, the people behind the scenes had done so much to make this matter, if it ended like this, it would be too unbearable.

I'm afraid that Sima Lin Zhao has a problem.

Qin Tian only thought about this matter for a while, and then he didn't care about it anymore, but focused on the expansion of Sihaiju and some security issues in Gyeonggi.

The size of Sihaiju is far from sufficient to meet today's demand, so expansion is a must.

However, as a don't drive in Jingzhao Mansion, Qin Tian's main job is still the safety of Gyeonggi, and the Yuan Festival is about to begin, and Chang'an City will not be able to stay overnight for three consecutive days, which is a great test for the safety of Chang'an.

If there is no curfew, and everyone is like this on weekdays, then there is no need to be too nervous about the safety issue, but because of the usual curfew, once contacted, the emotions that have been suppressed by those people for a long time will be vented out, like a flood that cannot be suppressed.

In that case, there are many problems.

Therefore, the pressure on Jingzhao Mansion will be very great in those days, and before that, some preparations must be done.

Chang'an City already has a New Year's weather, before the Shangyuan Festival, Sima Linzhao with 20,000 soldiers and horses rushed to Gyeongju, and when Sima Linzhao rushed to Gyeongju, far away in the north of the Turkic royal city, the main hall, the tribal leaders and Turkic ministers gathered together, while talking, while waiting for their Khan Jieli Khan to appear.

Their biggest enemy, the Tang Dynasty, is about to start a war with Tuyuhun, which is an opportunity for their Turks, an opportunity to be ashamed, and if they can, they can even go south directly and approach Chang'an.

"Why hasn't His Majesty come out yet?"

"Well, we've been waiting for a long time."

"What's the hurry, His Majesty Khan can't finish it."

As the crowd was talking, they heard a shout: "His Majesty the Khan has arrived in ......"

Jieli Khan walked out, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
