Just when everyone congratulated Li Jing on having a good nephew, His Royal Highness the crown prince Li Er walked out of the back hall, and saw everyone talking and laughing, with a puzzled face, and asked others to know that Bai Fan was Li Jing's relative, and also congratulated, and said that he would invite himself when Li Jing set up the wine!

Walking to the middle of the crowd talking and laughing, His Royal Highness Li Er's expression became serious, and the ministers knew that there was something big at a glance, and they also stopped frolicking and waited seriously for the prince's order!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Great War is coming! A few days ago, Yuan Daochang calculated that after the autumn, there would be a military disaster in the north of my Tang Dynasty! Lone sent people to investigate quickly, and yesterday there was a result, and the Turkic Jieli Khan was preparing to plunder south! Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

What the? Zhong Wenwu didn't expect that there would be such a thing?

Du Ruhui opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that the Turks knew that there was a change in my Tang Dynasty and deliberately took advantage of the situation?" ”

Li Shimin didn't speak, just nodded slightly, obviously thinking the same way! Jieli is a talented Khan, who knows how to choose the right time to make a move, and if he is himself, he will do it at this time!

"Isn't it the Turks? His Royal Highness and I have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Lao Cheng will go to kill one person and turn it over on his back! Cheng Fairy shouted with a grin.

"Why 30,000? Give me 20,000 for Lao Hei, and I will definitely bring Jieli's head to His Highness! Wei Chigong on the side also shouted.

Li Jing scolded, "Two fools, if the Turks are so easy to fight, how can it be your turn to do it, and my Datang will destroy the country long ago?" Where will he be allowed to come to my north every year to fight the autumn wind? ”

In the face of this No. 1 military boss other than Li Shimin, Datang Erhei didn't dare to talk back, and sat back one by one.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Pharmacist, I'm afraid this time the matter is even more serious!" According to the Tanmalai report, the Turkic Khan is preparing to raise 200,000 troops to invade my Tang Dynasty, and it seems that he is coming for the foundation of my Tang Dynasty! ”

Two hundred thousand?

All the civil and military exclaimed in unison, what is the concept of 200,000?

The military system of the Tang Dynasty still follows the former Sui Dynasty, using the government soldier system, and a total of 12 guards are set up across the country, namely the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right Wei Wei, the left and right leading guards, and the left and right Jinwu guards, each army is set up with one general, two generals, and the number of troops under the jurisdiction of each army is as much as 50,000, as little as 40,000, or full of strength!

In fact, the government soldier system is responsible for farming during the busy time of farming, and the training is responsible for training in the spare time, and the troops are levied and distributed throughout the country in case of war, although the total number of troops is also hundreds of thousands, but it is full of wartime, and the standing army in normal times is not much at all, and the area of Datang is vast, and the troops that are placed on the border of the four sides to organize defense alone will be a lot. This is still necessary to hurry up the case of levy.

An army of 100,000 against 200,000? First of all, the number of people is inferior, and secondly, the army is inferior, the Turks are the army of tigers and wolves who grew up on the back of 200,000 horses, and it would be good to be able to draw 20,000 cavalry out of the 100,000 in the Tang Dynasty!

In the face of cavalry, the infantry was inherently at a disadvantage and was restrained, and the troops and types suffered losses, and those present were all veterans who had been in battle for a long time, or the civil servants and strategists who rolled over from the flames of war, and they knew the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, and everyone seemed worried for a while!

They can understand, but some people are a little inexplicable, only 200,000 soldiers and horses? Since Datang can take precautions and eat them!

This person is Bai Fan, although he is smart and quick-witted, but after all, he has not been in Datang for a long time, and he does not know enough about military affairs, and he already knew that the Northern Turks would attack, and he fantasized about overturning the opponent and making a fortune!

So I only heard a crisp voice sound, which attracted the gaze of the civil and military ministers, "Your Highness, isn't it 200,000 barbarians!" There are so many of our Datang people, and the most important thing is the troops, since we already know that the other party is going to invade, why don't we bring more people to capture them all? ”

Li Jing had a black line, and just now he praised himself for his cleverness as a nephew, but he didn't expect it to be a newborn calf, he was simply a rookie, such childish words, why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let him come to discuss the matter?

slapped Bai Fan on the head, Li Jing reprimanded Bai Fan, in fact, he was also helping him out of the siege, and patiently explained the current situation to him.

Li Shimin didn't care about Bai Fan's mistakes, but was a little happy, this kid didn't know it before, it seems that he is not so demonic and abnormal, he is still a mortal!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now it is not only the disadvantage of insufficient troops, but yesterday in order to prepare for war, I specially sent someone to count the treasury, and finally came to a very bad result, the treasury has no grain in stock, and there is not much money, at most 50,000 yuan! Therefore, neither military strength nor logistics are enough to support our big war this time! ”

What the?

What does it mean to add insult to injury? This is to add insult to injury!

Bai Fan was speechless, a Datang treasury with only 50,000 yuan? This style of painting is wrong! When he bought himself, the Qin Wangfu alone took out 15,000 yuan! Why is it that a huge country has no money now?

How did he know that the eldest grandson princess was simply trying to calculate Yuan Tiangang, and the Qin Wangfu didn't have much money, and the ten thousand guan he said to worship God to pray for blessings and wishes was just an imaginary number, and it was too much to be able to produce a thousand guan, and in the end, Bai Fan was forced to respond to the next fifteen thousand by words, which was already half of the savings of the Qin Palace!

But it is worth spending on Yuan Tiangang, for no other reason, that is, because Yuan Tiangang is the leader of Taoism, holding the order of the world's Daomen, and getting his support, the world's Daomen is the help of the King of Qin, this force is enough to fight against today's five surnames and seven families, so in the future, even if the King of Qin rises to the throne, there is a Daomen to help control the world's public opinion, which can not be bought with more money! Therefore, Bai Fan was really eaten to death by the eldest grandson who had the talent of the inner phase, no matter how he counted, no one would lose money!

"No, Your Highness, at that time, you easily gave Lao Junguan 15,000! Why is the treasury only 50,000 now? Where does the money go? ”

Fang Xuanling looked at the naïve Bai Fan and said with a smile, "At the beginning, I spent almost half of the family business of King Qin's Mansion on you, do you think King Qin is a mountain of wealth?" You kid is a mere child, if it weren't for your senior brother Yuan Lao's immortal powers, you would have a reputation of fifteen thousand? ”

Bai Fan retorted, "But, isn't my 10,000 guan used to build a mansion?" It costs 10,000 yuan to build a random house, but the treasury is even built up in the palace, what is the situation? ”

Everyone laughed, and Du Ruhui spoke up, "You kid still don't know?" Is that house of yours called a mansion? In our eyes, it's just a farm house, and it's still 10,000? It doesn't cost a hundred, the requisition of the house is the cheapest labor, the craftsman is the royal approval of the saint, the material is taken locally, and the mountain is nearby, so where will it be spent?

You don't think you're really going to build you a mansion, do you? ”

So, that's not right, so I still have 9,900 pieces left? Where did it go? It can't be buried under my house! Bai Fan stared at Fang Xuanling, wanting him to give an explanation!

Fang Xuanling's face turned red, it was really wrong to hide this matter from Bai Fan, and he said, "You kid, will the old man be greedy for your money?" The princess said before, Bai Fan is too young, and there is no one to run a family, such a huge amount of assets is afraid of loss, she temporarily keeps it for you, and now the money is in the Qin Palace! ”

I......

Old man Fang, you pit me......

Bai Fan hated it in his heart! Are you sure you're not fooling me as a child? Didn't you buy Yuan Tiangang with only 5,000 guan? Have something to do with me? Ten thousand times and returned to the Qin Palace, I don't know if there is a fraction of this money left, I can't imagine it if I don't have it......

Knowing everything, Bai Fan was a little irritable, and he always felt like he was being tricked by a group of conspirators!
