Chang'an wind chill.

It's early winter.

Early this day, Li Yuan was discussing things with his ministers, and a palace man hurriedly ran up: "Holy Lord, there is an urgent report from Lingzhou. ”

Hearing that there was an urgent report in Lingzhou, the corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth suddenly showed a sneer.

His people have been going to Lingzhou for a while, so it stands to reason that they should have acted according to his orders now, right?

Lingzhou reported urgently, I am afraid that the Turks are going to move troops.

He did not believe that his own people had killed the Turkic herdsmen and robbed them of their goods, and that they could bear it with their Turkic nature.

"What's going on over there in Lingzhou?" Li Yuan asked, and the palace people hurriedly handed over the urgent report.

After Li Yuan saw it, his brows condensed slightly, and then he passed it on again.

"Lingzhou urgent report, saying that the Turks have frequently moved during this time, in addition to mobilizing troops and horses to get close to Lingzhou, they have also transported a large amount of grain and grass, I am afraid that there are preparations for war with my Datang, what do you think Aiqing?"

At this time, many people in the DPRK had already read the emergency report, and after reading it, they did not rush to speak.

It's a big deal, and it's no joke to say it wrong.

However, there are naturally those in the DPRK and China who are not afraid to make mistakes.

"Father, my sons think that since the Turks have transferred troops in the direction of Lingzhou, I am afraid that they are indeed preparing to attack my Lingzhou, and my Datang should make arrangements as soon as possible."

Li Yuanji stood up, and his voice was loud.

Just after Li Yuanji finished speaking, the people who were attached to Li Jiancheng in the DPRK and China also stood up one after another.

"Holy Lord, the Turks have always had a desire to invade my Datang, and this time I am afraid that it will not be an exception, and my Datang should prepare as soon as possible."

"Yes, Holy Lord, my Datang should be prepared early, the land of Lingzhou must not be lost."

“…………”

Everyone said, Li Shimin stood in the court and frowned, so dignified, why did the Turks suddenly want to use troops against them?

However, Li Shimin did not dwell too much on this issue, because if the Turks used troops against the Tang Dynasty, it would have a great impact on them and the Tang Dynasty, or on him and Li Jiancheng.

Whoever can lead the troops will be able to control the troops.

And if the military power is in his hands, he can directly achieve his goals before he sends troops.

This is an opportunity for him.

More and more people in the DPRK and China have suggested that they should prepare early, but in fact, with this urgent report, the possibility of the Turks using troops against their Tang Dynasty has reached 80 percent.

And in the face of such a situation, they would rather believe what they have than what they don't, otherwise a real war breaks out, and they are not ready, then Datang can only retreat.

Li Yuan saw that everyone agreed to prepare early, so he nodded: "Okay, elect a marshal, as long as the Turkic side makes a move, this side will immediately lead the troops and go to Lingzhou." ”

When these words came out, Li Jiancheng immediately stood up: "Father, when Erchen led the troops to repel the Turkic soldiers and horses in Lingzhou, Erchen had experience there, so Erchen was willing to serve as a marshal to repel strong enemies for my Tang Dynasty." ”

Since there was the previous turmoil in the palace, Li Jiancheng would deliberately avoid anything involving military power, but this time he was very positive in the face of the Turks.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, frowned slightly, and did not say anything.

At this time, Li Shimin also stood up immediately, he couldn't let Li Jiancheng look like this.

"Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to the battle, this time, the Turks that the son wants to fight have no power to fight back."

Li Shimin has always been very capable of fighting, so he dared to say such a thing, of course, he also had a little bit of a meaning against Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng led so many soldiers and horses to fight against the Turks, but as a result, he did not hurt the Turks' muscles and bones at all.

So much so that less than two years have passed, and the Turks have made a comeback.

If it were him, he would not dare to use troops against the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the people of the two factions in the DPRK and China immediately shouted.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has experience, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be allowed to lead the troops."

"Phew, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is good at using soldiers, half of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, to destroy the Turks, only His Royal Highness the King of Qin can do it, so His Royal Highness the King of Qin must lead the troops......"

The forces of the two sides are a bit comparable in the DPRK and China, and Cheng Yanjin and others are even more loud, and it is time to make military achievements.

However, the two sides were so troublesome, but Li Ji stood in the crowd, unmoved, as if whoever was the marshal had no impact on him.

He only frowned slightly after a moment.

The whole court was in chaos between the two sides, and when Li Yuan saw this, he was a little displeased, and shouted: "What kind of system? ”

The entire hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was a little nervous, but Li Yuan's side shouted again: "Retreat from the dynasty, this matter will be discussed later." ”

Li Yuan couldn't make a decision on who would lead the troops for a while, so he could only retreat.

Leaving the main hall, the cold wind outside was solemn, Li Jiancheng took a long breath, and after a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he rushed back to the East Palace in a carriage.

Li Shimin's expression was a little gloomy, as soon as he returned to the Qin Palace, Li Ji, Qin Shubao and others followed closely.

All the generals were all excited at this time, and Cheng Yanjin shouted after he came in: "Lord Wang, you must be a marshal, lead the troops to the battle, and kill those Turkic rabbit cubs." ”

Cheng bit Jin and grinned, but Li Ji pouted: "The prince wants to lead the troops, how easy is it to say, as long as His Royal Highness the prince fights with the prince, even if the saint will not let His Royal Highness the prince lead the troops, I am afraid that the prince will not lead the troops." ”

The two princes fight, and it is not appropriate for anyone to go, so in the end, no one can go.

This reason is very simple, especially when encountering two princes who are difficult to choose, Li Yuan doesn't want Li Jiancheng to be in charge of the army, so why does he want Li Shimin to be in charge of the army?

When Li Ji said this, everyone was stunned.

And at this time, they finally understood why Li Jiancheng, who had always been able to avoid military power, why he stood up and fought this time.

He didn't want to fight for military power, he just wanted Li Shimin to have no chance.

Everyone looked at each other, and at this time, Qin Shubao said: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not lead the troops, who will lead the troops, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already have a candidate?" ”

Li Ji nodded: "Don't forget His Royal Highness the King of Qi, he is still very favored by the Holy Lord, and his strength is amazing, if anyone supports the King of Qi, the Holy Lord is likely to let the King of Qi lead the troops, and many of the prince's generals and strategists are afraid that they will also go out with the army like last time." ”

Speaking of this, Li Ji's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "If this is the case, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not ruthless to such a point." ”

This was a bit sudden, and everyone was a little confused.

"Strategist, what do you mean by that?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Jidao: "The competition between the prince and the prince has become more and more obvious, His Royal Highness the prince is very worried that his position as the prince is not guaranteed, for the position of the prince, will he weaken the wings of the prince, this trick, His Royal Highness the prince has not used it." ”
