Chapter 529: The Will of the Vassal King

In the past, Gou Jian lay down and tasted the gall, and finally destroyed the Wu State.

Today's Chang'an is in danger, if you can retreat the enemy's troops without a fight, but only suffer some humiliation, why can't you bear it?

At this time, the Tang Dynasty could not withstand a big battle, especially near Chang'an City.

A big war will ruin the efforts of the past ten years.

And humiliation makes people forge ahead.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin's brows were staring, he personally didn't like to be humiliated, and even because he didn't get the throne, he didn't like it even more, or he was a little worried.

I am worried that some unfavorable remarks will directly affect my throne.

But if the people suffer in the first war, it will be even more detrimental to his reputation.

Therefore, after a few thoughts, Li Shimin nodded: "Qin Aiqing is reasonable. ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin ordered: "Yiguo Gong listens to the order." ”

Qin Shubao said: "The end will be." ”

"I order you to immediately mobilize troops and horses inside and outside Chang'an City and assemble on the banks of the Weishui River."

"Whoa!"

"Li Ji obeys orders."

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to immediately gather brave people near Chang'an City, pretend to be soldiers, and then rush to the bank of the Weishui River to serve as my Tang reinforcements."

"Whoa!"

"Cheng Biting Jin obeys orders!"

"The last general!"

"I ordered you to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to Jingzhou to meet Wei Chigong, and hundreds of soldiers and horses left by Jieli Khan outside Jingzhou City."

"Whoa!"

Li Shimin instructed one by one that when Qin Shubao had almost gathered these soldiers and horses, he would take the soldiers and horses and personally go to the banks of the Weishui River to confront the Turks and force them to retreat.

The ministers left, and they were busy with their own affairs, but the eldest grandson Wuji stayed.

"Auxiliary, although Qin Tian's plan is good, I am also a little worried."

The eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Shimin best, and after hearing this, he said, "The Holy Lord is worried about the vassal kings of all walks of life? ”

Li Shimin bowed his head: "I led the troops to the Weishui River, the crown prince Li Chengqian is too young, in case the soldiers of the vassal kings of all walks of life suppress Chang'an, how can it be good?" ”

If the soldiers and horses go to Weishui, Chang'an City will be empty of guards, and there will be thousands of soldiers and horses, how can thousands of soldiers and horses resist the vassal kings of all walks of life?

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "The Holy Lord doesn't have to worry, now I have been going to the messengers of the vassal kings to ask for King Qin for a long time, but I have not seen a reply, I think these vassal kings will either not come to King Qin, even if they come, they will definitely delay too much on the way, as long as they can force back the Turkic soldiers and horses as soon as possible, Chang'an here, there is no need to worry too much." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, but then his expression was condensed, if the vassal king does not come to King Qin, what is the use of keeping them?

For the first time, Li Shimin had the idea of weakening these vassal kings.

The existence of the vassal king is naturally very helpful to the Tang Dynasty, for example, when the capital is in danger, they come, and when there is a rebellion in various places, they help to quell the rebellion.

But now these vassal kings have not done their job well, not only that, when there was a rebellion in Luoyang, Li Luo not only did not help, but even colluded with the rebels, this is simply raising tigers?

Now that the capital is in trouble, the vassal kings of all walks of life are also sitting idly by.

Keeping them can only make his Chang'an City a scourge.

The vassal king can't stay, even if he wants to stay, he should change his stubble, keep his cronies in the past, and keep those who are willing to serve the king.

Li Shimin thought in his heart, but he didn't show it in the slightest.

It's not an easy thing to cut the feudal domain.

-----------------

Huaizhou.

Chang'an City is very close to Huaizhou, so Li Luo, the king of wings, received a letter from King Qin early.

It's just that after he received the letter, he didn't mean to be too anxious.

Today's Chang'an City is indeed in crisis, but for a vassal king like him, isn't it a good opportunity?

If Li Shimin was weakened because of such a big war, wouldn't he be able to take the opportunity to seek the throne?

The more chaotic Chang'an is, the more opportunities there will be for them as vassal kings.

However, although Li Luo has not moved for a long time, it does not mean that he will not move.

He's going to wait.

First, the situation in Chang'an is unclear at this time, in case the Turks retreat, then they will go, but they will go in vain, and they may expose their ambitions and be targeted by Li Shimin.

In addition, there are many vassal kings with different intentions, and it is not a good thing to go too early.

It's better to let these vassal kings still explore the way, whether it's good or bad, those who go later, won't suffer too much in the future.

If the vassal king really fights with Li Shimin, then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

If not, the vassal king helped Li Shimin fight the Turks, then he would go later, and he would be able to get a piece of the pie at that time.

The specifics will have to wait and see.

Anyway, now his Huaizhou is not dangerous, what he has is time to wait.

There were many vassal kings who thought like Li Luo, so when the Turks were already approaching Chang'an City, many vassal kings had not yet moved.

At the same time, in the city of Chang'an, the palace of King Zhao.

Li Yuanjing, the king of Zhao, also had his own plans at this time.

Li Yuanjing has a fief, but there are no soldiers and horses in his fief, he is not a vassal king, he can only be regarded as a prince of Chang'an, so he does not have many soldiers and horses available.

It is impossible for him to obtain the throne by approaching Chang'an with troops and horses like other vassal kings.

His only bargaining chip is the son of Li Yuanji who he saved, of course, he has now been raised as Li Jiancheng's son.

This chip is Li Yuanjing's ultimate bargaining chip, but although this chip is powerful, it is not easy to use now, even if Li Shimin is really defeated and killed by other vassal kings, it is not easy to use.

Because his father is still there, if Li Shimin dies, his father will be restored, and it is difficult to say who will be the crown prince at that time.

Li Yuanjing is very conflicted, he wants Li Shimin to die, but he doesn't want Li Shimin to die.

Today's situation in Chang'an can only let him wait and see what happens.

The people of Chang'an City are panicked, and a wave of soldiers and horses are walking back and forth on the streets of Chang'an City, although the Turkic soldiers and horses are still a little far from Chang'an City, but the people of Chang'an, few are really at ease.

People are uneasy, but at the same time, there are some ordinary people who desperately want to sign up for the army.

For the men of the Tang Dynasty, they should be determined to be in all directions, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and defend their families and the country, not only because they want to win the opportunity to worship the marquis through military exploits, but also because they know that if the enemy attacks, their families are afraid that they will not be able to save it.

Therefore, they are also serving the country and protecting their families.

Li Ji's affairs suddenly became much easier.

It seems that the Chinese people have such a temperament, when several feudal kings are fighting back and forth, they don't care, and they don't want to care, but if there is an invasion from other places, they are risking their lives, and they also have to defend their homes and drive these foreign places out.

Chang'an Chang'an, in the midst of uneasiness, but also has some touch.

Qin Tian had just walked out of the palace and was about to return to the palace when Cheng Yanjin suddenly grabbed him.
