Chapter 70: Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven

Training, training, daily non-stop training formations for the villagers, strict discipline, and so, 6 days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past six days, the reality from the front-line battlefield to Chang'an has been constantly transmitting bad news, either a certain checkpoint has been lost, or a certain guard will die!

"Master Hou, there is new news from the front line, Taiyuan has been lost, and Li Zerui, the defender of Taiyuan, died in battle. After the Turks entered the city, they killed people when they saw them, and the old and weak, women and children did not let go, and now Taiyuan is afraid that it has become a dead city! Liu Yishou told the battle ahead with a heavy face!

"Bastard!" Li Siyuan took the case: "These Turks are really inferior to pigs and dogs, and it is really annoying and hateful to use such despicable means as slaughtering the city!" ”

Liu Yishou stood beside him silently, Li Siyuan sighed, and then said: "Alas, it seems that the Turks want to give our Majesty a dismount!" After all, Taiyuan is the land of our Datang! ”

"The king humiliates the ministers to death!" Liu Yi clenched his teeth: "One day I will kill all the Turks, give them a shame on the Tang Dynasty, and avenge the dead creatures in Taiyuan!" ”

Li Siyuan patted the excited Liu Yishou, and then looked in the direction of Chang'an with deep eyes: "What is Your Majesty doing now?" Why haven't you seen any action?

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, angry at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces: "Taiyuan has been slaughtered, Taiyuan has been slaughtered!" Will Chang'an be the next to be slaughtered? You're going to come up with another plan for me? If I really can't do it, I'll take the expedition in person, I want to see what they can do to me! After saying that, he threw the fold in his hand on the catcher and sat down with a huff!

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough troops, let's make peace!" As soon as he heard that Li Shimin wanted to drive the expedition in person, the eldest grandson Wuji was the first to stand up and object: "We are now empty in the treasury and the supply of troops is insufficient, so we should seek peace for the time being and discuss it in the long run!" ”

In fact, Li Shimin also knew the current situation, and he also regretted that he did not pay enough attention to this war, let alone expected that the offensive of the Turks would be so fierce. If you want to transfer troops now, it's too late!

"You literati are all bad seeds!" Cheng bit Jin's big mouth and scolded: "I don't think about how to fight, I know how to ask for peace all day long, it's really a shame!" ”

After making the eldest grandson Wuji's face turn blue with anger, Cheng Yanjin hugged his fist at Li Shimin above and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Cheng Biting Jin, you have such a big breath!" Fang Xuanling stood up at the right time: "The Turks have 80,000 if not 100,000, and they are advancing all the way, and their morale is high, what do you do to fight him?" Could it be that you want 20,000 soldiers to die with you! ”

"As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I believe they are all ready for the horse leather shroud!" Cheng Yanjin said nonchalantly: "We are all rough people, not like you who are afraid of life and death, it's a big deal to fight with them, although my old Cheng doesn't know a few words, but he also knows the truth that it is better to break the jade than to be complete!" ”

"The courage of the horseman, the courage of the horseman, Your Majesty must not listen to what this old horseman says......." Fang Xuanling pointed at Cheng Biting Jin with a trembling look.

"Shut up, stop arguing!" Li Shimin rubbed his temples to stop the quarrel in the hall, and then asked, "Where are the Turks now?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Li Jing took a step forward and said: "The Turkic soldiers are divided into two routes, one is coming in the direction of Weishui Bridge, with a strength of about 50,000, and the other is heading towards Jingyang County, with a strength of about 40,000!" ”

Li Shimin on the dragon chair frowned, he didn't understand why Jieli would send troops to Jingyang, he was already in Chang'an, why would he do this? Suddenly, a person's name flashed in his mind: Li Siyuan, by the way, he must be going for this kid, or more precisely, he is going to *.

Thinking of this, he faintly felt uneasy in his heart: "Wei Chigong, I will give you 10,000 elite soldiers, you should rush to Jinyang immediately, and you must not let the Turks capture Li Siyuan by me!" ”

"Your Majesty, Chang'an is the top priority at the moment, and we are now dividing our troops into two places, isn't it just the enemy's strategy!" Wei Chigong, who didn't know why, opposed Li Shimin's plan to divide the troops, and in his opinion, Li Siyuan's safety was naturally inferior to Chang'an's safety!

"You just do what I tell you to do, and you don't have to worry about the rest!" Li Shimin did not explain, but continued: "I have decided, negotiate peace!" Li Jing, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, the three of you go to Weishui with me to negotiate peace! ”

Although the three generals Li Shimin pointed out were eager to fight, they also understood Li Shimin's temper, and since he had decided, he would not allow others to refute it, so he had no choice but to accept the order!

Seeing that Li Shimin decided to negotiate peace, the Wenchen led by the eldest grandson Wuji and others hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting in their mouths, Your Majesty is Shengming. Li Shimin waved his sleeves, and dissolved the court meeting without any expression on his face, leaving only a group of generals standing there with ugly faces!

"Master Hou, it's not good!" Liu Yishou ran into Li Siyuan's study out of breath: "According to the spies we sent out, the Turks divided 40,000 troops to call us!" “

"You really won't let me go!" Li Siyuan muttered to himself, and then looked at Liu Yishou calmly: "Captain Liu, what danger is there in our Jingyang that the Turks must pass?" ”

Liu Yishou thought for a while and said: "There is an echo valley fifty miles away, and the cliffs on both sides are steep, if they want to reach us quickly, there is a must to pass!" ”

The valley, the cliff, is really a good place for ambush, Li Siyuan said without thinking: "You take those townsmen to bury the clay pot we prepared two days ago in the ground, I have already told you the method, be sure to buy it to be hidden!" ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Liu Yishou nodded, and then ran out in a hurry!

"God really won't let me be idle!" Li Siyuan sat on a chair and looked up at the roof: "More than 40,000 people!" How could I have fought with less than 2,000! But fortunately, I'm not the defender here, so I can't beat it! ”

It's not that Li Siyuan doesn't want to fight, it's that the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and it's better to save his strength than to send him to death senselessly, so as to plan for the future!

"Everything can only be done to the fate of God!" Li Siyuan stood up helplessly and went to prepare the signal for the big guy to escape!
