Chang'an City, midsummer.

The midsummer heat in Chang'an is surprisingly hot, but for dignitaries and nobles, there is a rain house, and this heat is not particularly hot.

Of course, for ordinary people, the heat is a little hotter, but I don't know how much better than winter.

Moreover, in the hot summer, it is the best season for the people to sit together, drink tea and chat, and spend an afternoon.

A fast horse went straight into Chang'an City, and as he walked through the street, the messenger galloped wildly and shouted.

"Youzhou City is broken, Luo Yi is killed!"

"Youzhou City is broken, Luo Yi is killed!"

After shouting a few times, someone in the street gave way to the way, and the fast horse was faster, and soon stopped in front of the palace.

At this time, the people behind him suddenly became excited.

"Hou Ye is Hou Ye, that Youzhou City, Yang Lin, the backer of the mountain, sent 200,000 soldiers and horses, but none of them were captured, Hou Ye has only been there for a few months, and he has broken Youzhou City."

"Who said no, the most important thing is to cut off Luo Yi's head."

"Hehe, this Luo Yi, who let the Turks enter the customs back then, caused us people to be afraid, and now he is killed, and he deserves it."

"That's right, that's right......"

The people talked a lot, as if they had suddenly found something to talk about, and they were very excited.

At the same time, the messenger had entered the main hall.

"Shengshang, Youzhou City is broken, this is the head of Luo Yi."

The messenger presented Luo Yi's head, and after everyone saw it, they looked at each other, but Li Shimin was finally relieved.

"Okay, Qin Aiqing really lived up to my expectations and captured Youzhou City, I don't know when Qin Aiqing will return to Beijing?"

Li Shimin's heart was very excited, but he didn't show it too deliberately at this time, although Luo Yi should be killed, but his son Luo Cheng made a contribution to the Tang Dynasty in the end, and he was too happy, which would make people think that he Li Shimin likes to kill heroes.

Moreover, Qin Shubao is in the main hall, Qin Shubao has been enduring his grief at this time, if he is too happy, he really can't say it.

So, just show it a little bit.

After Li Shimin asked like this, the messenger said: "Holy Lord, Master Hou is not preparing to return to Beijing. ”

When these words came out, Li Shimin's heart sank, and the faces of the ministers changed even more.

If he doesn't prepare to return to Beijing, does Qin Tian also want to learn Luo Yi and establish himself as the king in Youzhou City?

However, Li Shimin soon recovered, and he believed that Qin Tian was not such a person.

"Oh, why don't you prepare to return to Beijing?"

"Hou Ye's meaning, since you have destroyed Youzhou City, you might as well destroy the Liang State and Hou Sui together, so as not to harass them in the back when they fight with the Turks, Hou Ye said that as long as the saint agrees, they will immediately take action against Hou Sui."

After the messenger said this, there was a sudden commotion in the court.

"Holy Lord, Marquis Qin is inevitably too eager for quick success, this move must not be."

Soon, someone came out against it.

"Shengshang, destroy Youzhou, that is to put it in the attack on the Turks, Luo Yi colludes with the Turks, this is imperative, and only destroying Youzhou, has made my Datang feel a lot of pressure, if I fight with the Later Sui and Liang States again, then why did my Datang get so much grain and grass supply?"

"Shengshang, Lord Zhang is reasonable, whether it is the destruction of the Sui or the Liang State, or the Turks, they should be done slowly, and they should not be in a hurry, and now the Tang army should return to Beijing to rest and recuperate, and then fight."

“…………”

The pressure on the Tang Dynasty is great, and many people don't want to destroy the Later Sui and Liang Kingdoms, but Li Shimin is here, but he is not in a hurry to speak.

In his heart, Hou Sui and Liang Guo are two thorns, and he has long wanted to get rid of them, and now after Qin Tian breaks through Youzhou City, he wants to destroy Hou Sui and Liang Guo, which is very normal in his opinion.

Only after removing these fetters can we fight with the Turks and completely wash away the shame of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that what the ministers said, it's not unreasonable, in the first battle of Youzhou, the grain and grass needed by the Tang army were all raised by the household department, and now to destroy the Later Sui and Liang countries, I don't know how long it will take, and how much grain and grass will be needed.

For Datang, it is undoubtedly a lot of pressure.

Of course, now that the wheat in the country has matured, it will take some time to be able to transport these grains and grasses to the household warehouses.

The ministers were still discussing, Hou Junji stood on top of the main hall, but he suddenly stood up: "Shengshang, the last general thinks that the Later Sui and Liang States must be destroyed before the first war with the Turks, otherwise it will be a very unfavorable thing for our Tang Dynasty, and the last general is willing to lead the troops and destroy the Liang Kingdom." ”

Qin Tian broke through Youzhou City and killed Luo Yi, which is a lot of credit, just by virtue of this, when Qin Tian came back, Li Shimin had to consider giving him a promotion.

In case Qin Tian also destroyed the Later Sui and Liang Kingdoms, then the merit of destroying the country would have to be the county prince or something.

He Hou Junji also has 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so it's a pity to be idle like this.

It would be good if you could make war exploits.

After Hou Junji stood up like this, Su Dingfang didn't know what he meant, and then he also stood up: "Holy Lord, the last general also thinks that the Later Sui and Liang Kingdom must be destroyed, and the last general is also willing to destroy the Liang Kingdom." ”

After the two of them stood up like this, the others immediately objected.

"Now that the household is short of grain and grass, how can we use soldiers and horses again, if you go again, the grain and grass will be even more insufficient, and this battle cannot be fought for the time being."

"That is, it is enough to destroy Youzhou, why do you need to continue fighting?"

"That's right, wait until next year, when the Turks are exterminated, it's not too late to do it, and at that time, we will have enough food and grass."

The two sides talked back and forth, the atmosphere in the court became a little solemn for a while, and Li Shimin's side had no better result for a while, and in the end, he could only choose to withdraw from the court, and the matter would be discussed later.

After retiring from the dynasty, some officials still couldn't get used to Hou Junji and Su Dingfang's troops.

"General Hou, I know that you are eager to make meritorious contributions, but you also have to consider the actual situation of my Datang, I Datang, is it time to send troops?"

A civil official looked at Hou Junji with a look of disdain.

Hou Junji smiled: "A group of fools, immortal Hou Sui and Liang State, do you think it will be easy to fight with the Turks?" Scholars mislead the country, scholars mislead the country. ”

After scolding a few words, Hou Junji left angrily.

When the civil officials heard Hou Junji's words, they were also not very angry.

"Phew, you generals are misguided by the country, you only know how to fight, and it doesn't matter if my Datang can afford this war, you are misleading the country......"

Civilian officials and military generals have rarely had time to deal with them since ancient times.
