The messenger who sent the letter to Li Ji was named Ah Wen.

He is a native of Chang'an City, and his family lives in Chang'an City.

After he hurried back to Chang'an City from Xue Yantuo, he did not go to Li Ji, but went home first.

He has been away from home for a long time and he misses his family a lot.

Thinking that the war on Xue Yantuo's side was basically over, he didn't need to be too anxious, he felt that the letter in his hand might not be particularly important.

It's okay to be a little late and a little earlier, right?

After all, when he left, Qin Tian didn't have any special arrangements, just asked him to give this letter to Li Ji.

When Arwen returned home, he lingered with his wife, and then fell asleep again.

By the time he woke up, it was already the middle of the night.

The entire Chang'an City has been curfewed, and if you want to go to Li Ji to deliver a letter, you can't.

"It seems that I can only go to the British Duke tomorrow."

He still doesn't feel anxious about this matter.

The night passed like this, and the next day, the morning pilgrimage began.

The weather in Chang'an City is a bit hot, although it is almost the end of summer.

The ministers stood on top of the main hall, and someone quickly stood up with a fold.

"Holy Lord, there is an urgent report from Songzhou."

Hearing the urgent report from Songzhou, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly froze, and he asked, "What is the situation in Songzhou?" ”

"Back to the Shengshang, the situation in Songzhou City is a little bad, General Niu Jinda fought with Tubo, but he was defeated, and now he is defending the city in Songzhou City, but according to the current situation, they are afraid that they will not be able to support it for long, and their grain and grass are not much, he asked the Holy Lord to send a helping hand, and transport some grain and grass over."

Hearing that Niu Jinda was defeated, Songzhou City was almost unable to hold it, and the entire hall was suddenly in a hustle and bustle.

"This ...... How is this possible, how can our Tang army be defeated if it is so powerful? ”

"That's it, that's it, Tubo is only 10,000 more soldiers and horses than us, isn't my Datang an opponent?"

"Now that my Datang is so passive, how can this be good?"

“…………”

The ministers said one after another, they all felt that Niu Jinda was no problem to be a pioneer, but as a coach, his ability was a little insufficient, and it was a mistake for him to guard Songzhou City at that time.

But now this situation, they can only save it as soon as possible.

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the situation in Songzhou City, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Holy Lord, Niu Jinda was defeated and should be punished."

"Yes, defeat will be punished."

Some civil officials felt that Niu Jinda was too radical, and they all wanted to punish Niu Jinda, but some generals laughed.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if you are defeated and punished, then ask that general who will dare to kill the enemy in the future?"

"That's it, that's it, Shengshang, Niu Jinda was defeated, there is no problem with the strategy, it's just a difference in strength, it's too early to punish him now, we still have to find a way to repel the Tubo soldiers and horses as soon as possible, you must know that my Tang Dynasty is still fighting against Xue Yantuo, we really can't afford to delay."

The longer the war lasted, the more grain and grass they needed, although when the wheat was ripe, they got a lot of grain and grass, but many of them were taken by Qin Tian to attack Xue Yantuo.

Now, if they delay any longer, they may not have enough food and grass.

The ministers discussed a lot in this way, which was quite controversial, some civil officials wanted to punish Niu Jinda, and some military generals were unwilling.

While the two sides were saying this, an official stood up and said, "Holy Lord, Qin Tian's side also sent someone to deliver an urgent report. ”

Hearing that there was also news from Xue Yantuo's side, Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "How is it, how is Xue Yantuo's side?" ”

If the situation on Xue Yantuo's side is not optimistic, then the pressure on their Datang is probably really great.

"My Datang fought with Xue Yantuo and defeated Xue Yantuo, and now Xue Yantuo has fled back to his hometown, and Xue Yantuo even surrendered to my Datang, willing to surrender to my Datang and pay tribute every year."

Hearing that Qin Tian had defeated Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo even went up to the table, and the entire Tang Dynasty suddenly burst into an uproar.

"Won, my Datang won, this is a good thing, I know that Lord Qin will definitely be able to defeat Xue Yantuo."

"That's right, that's right, I won the battle so quickly, and I also let Xue Yantuo go down the table, the little grandfather can be said to have played the prestige of my Tang Dynasty."

"Now that the war on Xue Yantuo's side is over, my Datang can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and I don't have to have so much pressure."

"That's it, that is, it seems that our previous worries are unnecessary, and Niu Jinda doesn't have to be punished."

“…………”

The officials were talking excitedly, and Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, the war on Xue Yantuo's side was over, so they Datang would not have to worry about fighting on both sides, and the follow-up supply would not be available.

However, just as everyone was relieved when they said this, the official continued: "However, Qin Tian agreed to Xue Yantuo's proposal, and I, Datang, want to marry the princess to Xue Yantuo's True Pearl Khan. ”

At this exit, everyone was suddenly a little confused, and they couldn't think that this was Qin Tian's idea.

"This ...... What the hell is going on, Qin Tian actually agreed to marry the princess to Xue Yantuo? ”

"Incredible, how is this possible, Qin Tian has always been against harmony?"

"Who said no, if it weren't for him, how would we be against Heqin?"

"Now that he has agreed to make peace, it's really puzzling, could it be that Xue Yantuo is on the table, is it because of Qin Tian's condition?"

Everyone questioned and was puzzled, and at this time, Gao Shilian had already stood up.

"Holy Lord, Qin Tian is simply a deception to you, he didn't defeat Xue Yantuo at all, he must be exchanging things with his relatives, and the Holy Lord must severely punish him."

"Yes, Holy Lord, this matter of harmony is absolutely not good, Qin Tian must be punished."

“…………”

There are many people who cater to Gao Shilian, after all, there are not a few people in the court who have a malicious heart towards Qin Tian.

So many people asked to punish Qin Tian, Li Shimin's eyes also condensed, Qin Tian's actions were really disappointing, but it also made people feel very incomprehensible.

I'm afraid things are weird, but the ministers of the court and the central government are still angry.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and when these people were still shouting loudly, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, I have already understood what you Aiqing meant, Qin Tian made this matter, it is really too strange, I ordered him to go down and let him take the soldiers and horses directly to Songzhou City to rescue, and the matter of harmony, and when he comes back, I will settle accounts with him." ”
