Li Er woke up with his drowsy head covered, got up and saw Du Ruhui who was guarding the side.

"Keming, on behalf of me, I sent a letter to Hou Junji, the bodies of the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army will be transported back to Chang'an, and I, as one of them, will personally see them off."

Du Ruhui saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late at this time, as stated in General Hou's book, it will take twenty days for the transportation of immortal grain, and the corpse is unable to be transported back, so it can only be burned on the spot in pain and bring back the ashes."

It is estimated that it has already been completed by this time, and the army has already hit the road. ”

Hearing this, Li Er let out a long sigh and didn't say anything more.

"Your Majesty, half of the immortal grain has been destroyed, and according to our calculations, it will affect future breeding, so our battle plan is estimated to be postponed."

"Bai Fan knows the matter of immortal food best, and everything will be discussed when he returns to Chang'an.

I remember that Jingzhou urgently reported that the people were unstable? ”

At this time, the other ministers had already heard that the emperor had woken up, and hurried to come.

"Your Majesty, not only Jingzhou, with the news coming out, the people everywhere will be angry, after all, I have been looking forward to the immortal grain for three years, and the treasure that yields thousands of catties per mu is now burned by the enemy, who is not sad?

If you don't know that the opponent may be still, and now you know that the Tubo people did it, the ministers speculate that in the near future, the whole country will set off an upsurge of revenge against Tibet. Fang Xuanling reported.

Li Er groaned: "Revenge Tubo? Hmph, naturally I can't let go of this culprit, I'm ready to go on a personal expedition! ”

"No, Your Majesty, the national war is a matter of great importance, and it cannot be hasty.

Moreover, there are still many doubts in this matter, and the ministers and others believe that they need to be carefully analyzed.

First, the 5,000-strong army of Tubo was able to infiltrate the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty silently?

The second is that this news is untrue, it is obvious that half of the immortal grain has been destroyed, why the rumors say that it was all burned, it seems that someone deliberately promoted this matter and wanted to provoke the civil uprising in Datang, so in this eventful season, we can't be cautious. The eldest grandson Wuji persuaded.

Fang Xuanling also spoke: "The matter in the Northeast has not yet come to fruition, before the pharmacist said that the Tang Dynasty was unable to fight again, and now it has just been unexpectedly destroyed Tuyuhun, there is still no stability, and the Northeast is not even."

In addition, Tibet is not an ordinary weak country, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army also fought in the early years, but our soldiers were dizzy and lost their combat power as soon as they attacked, so judging from many circumstances, now is not the time for revenge, please forbear and think twice. ”

Li Eryi punched the dragon case and snorted coldly: "Think about forbearance? Everyone has stabbed us in the heart with knives, and I still have to endure it, I'm afraid I will be the weakest and most bullying emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare, they have no such intentions!"

"Arise, all of you, what you say is reasonable, how can I not know? I can bear this shame, but how do we account for it to the people? Do you have a solution? ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the result of our discussion is a delaying strategy, first of all, it is stated that half of the immortal grain has been burned, and half of it is kept for seeding, which will only prolong the breeding time, and sooner or later it can be sent to everyone as life-saving food, so as to temporarily reassure the people."

As for the matter of revenge, first send a letter of war to Tubo, but not a large army, declare no war, and wait until the fairy grain returns to Chang'an safely, and when the Tuyuhun army is recalled, there are soldiers in hand, and we will consider it in the long run.

I believe that by that time, the people's mood has calmed down a little, and no matter whether it is war or peace in the end, there will always be an explanation. ”

Li Er pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "But!"

The vanguard army led by the third brother was ordered to rush all the way to pick up the grain delivery team, I don't believe it, in my own home, who else can move my army of 100,000? ”

At this time, the chamberlain Lao Gao rushed out from behind briskly, shouting: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy, the queen mother is about to give birth......"

What the???

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go back first, everything depends on Zhu Qing."

Du Ruhui looked at the emperor who was very sad and happy in one day, and sighed slightly in his heart, it is an eventful autumn, everything is gathered together, and it is really not easy for Your Majesty.

At this time, the situation in Liaodong suddenly became tense, and there was no other way, just because Li Jing, the old marshal of the Tang Dynasty, led the team to Huaiyuan Pass.

Who is Li Jing? The god of the Tang Dynasty, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, has been undefeated, and now although he is sixty years old, he is still the head of the Tang Dynasty generals.

Who is the first military genius in the entire Tang Dynasty? After all, when he was the king of Qin, he worshiped the first general of the military generals, Tiance, and fought for half of the Tang Dynasty in his life, almost without defeat, and he had outstanding achievements at a young age, which Li Jing deeply admired.

Since Li Er ascended the throne, he no longer led the troops, and the position of the first boss in the military has always been Li Jing and Li Yaoshi, and no one is unconvinced.

The reputation of this cattle man is known to everyone, and now that the army has led the army to the city, who is not afraid? After all, Li Jing is known as the god of the army, a great god who can be invincible if he gives him 20,000 troops.

At this time, the 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the Huaiyuan Pass were still Khitan and Jianya, and when they saw the arrival of at least 50,000 troops from the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to fight without permission, so they immediately flew to report to the chief general outside the city of Beisha in the south.

Beisha City, Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda, who had been besieged for more than a month, were really depressed, this gang of bandits outside the city, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, they were trapped like this, and even a fly could not fly out of the city, I wanted to report to Datang, but in the past month, the scout messenger has tried to go out of the city no less than dozens of times, and they were all captured alive.

Now the 60,000 troops in the city are very uneasy, not because of the worry about the situation, but because of the problem of grain and grass in the city, originally the city of Beisha is not large, the grain and grass is only enough for the 20,000 army for half a year, now it is good, the 60,000 army has been eating horses all day long, it has been a month, and in another month, there will be a famine in the city without the opponent attacking the city.

"It's really not good, Lao Tzu went out to fight with the other party." Cheng Yanjin shouted.

Niu Jinda hurriedly persuaded: "Lao Cheng, since the other party is to trap us and change people, then they won't watch us starve to death, besides, I'm not afraid that Datang doesn't know, Youzhou has been doing business with us, we have an accident, Chai Shao must be the first to know." ”

The two were discussing, but they saw a herald rush in: "General, the enemy commander outside the city is going to see you." ”

Sasa Yanshou has been in a good mood recently, just looking at the enemy's anxious appearance day by day, it's really a pleasure, if you don't want to replace them, I really want to trap them for a lifetime, so I just keep watching it for fun.

"What are you looking for us? Are you uncomfortable and want to talk to your grandfather Cheng? ”

"Hmph, surnamed Cheng, Hugh is rampant, I don't want to rap with you as a fool, you have a good life, Datang sent someone to ransom you, now you and this surnamed Niu come down and go with us, and we will exchange hostages."
