It has not been so lively in Bianjing City for a long time, especially at night, in the middle of the night, some carriages broke the silence of the night, rushed out of the streets, and walked along Suzaku Avenue together, towards the palace.

Zhao Ding, Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Mu, Cao Jing, Li Qiao, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, Zongzheng Li Fu, etc., of the Military Aircraft Department, came one after another, and the ministers at the top of the entire Tang Dynasty were awakened from their sleep by the secret guards, hurriedly washed up, and came to the palace, using a carriage, and everyone sat in the carriage, their eyebrows were furrowed, with a hint of melancholy.

Over the years of the Tang Dynasty, although wars have occurred frequently, but in political affairs, it is the peace of the country and the people, even if some officials are corrupt, but like today, the matter of ordering many auxiliary ministers to enter the palace late at night has obviously not appeared, and for a while, everyone's faces showed a sad color. I'm afraid that something like a mountain collapse will happen in the newly emerging Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Ding and others arrived at the palace one after another, and under the leadership of Chen Long, they entered the imperial study one after another. But when everyone entered the main hall, they did not dare to speak. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and he could only keep his head down, waiting for Li Jing to speak.

Li Jing sighed and said to Gao Zhan beside him: "Let the imperial dining room get some snacks, call Zhongqing late at night, and eat something first!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Xiao Wei is afraid that the whole army has been wiped out at this time, and the situation in the grassland is tense all of a sudden, what I am worried about is what should be done with Boyan's 100,000 army, what is the plan of the secretaries?" Li Jing pointed to the brocade stool on the side, let everyone sit down, and then said: "The 100,000 army has been lost, and the Jin people are afraid that they have already calculated, and I have underestimated Yan Sheng." ”

"Your Majesty! Brother Xiao Wei is greedy for merit, his sin is unforgivable, even if he comes back alive, he can't be easily forgiven, Jin Ren moved, but the secret guard didn't get the news, and the minister thought that this was the secret guard's dereliction of duty and had nothing to do with His Majesty. Wang Mu hurriedly said: "If you want to punish the crime, you should also punish the crime of the secret guard, Your Majesty doesn't have to be too guilty." ”

Zhao Ding couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Wang Mu, at this time, the matter of the grassland should be the priority, and finding other people's mistakes at this time is not what a political minister should do.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that before knowing the actual situation on the grassland, the most important thing is to wait and see, at this time, act rashly, the minister is worried that there will be more mistakes." Li Fu said: "Old General Xiao has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can make him greedy for merit, and the minister is worried that this is a big conspiracy, and he will affect the whole body, and before he gets more news from the enemy, the minister suggests that he should not act rashly." ”

"What do you think?" Li Jing nodded, still looked at Li Qiao on the side, and said: "You are the number one general of this dynasty, you have fought against the Xixia people, do you think the Jin people have a conspiracy?" ”

"If there is no precise plan, it is obviously impossible to calculate the army of more than 200,000 people in the grassland, although I don't know why General Xiao is greedy for merit, but I think it has a lot to do with the Jin army, the Jin people can ambush General Xiao, probably pretending to retreat, leading General Xiao's soldiers and horses out of Jiutaitan, and then in the right position, flanking back and forth, defeating General Xiao." Li Qiao thought for a while and said.

Gongsun Sheng also came out and said: "Your Majesty, just a hundred thousand horses around Wanyan Zongbi, it is impossible to deal with my Tang Dynasty's cavalry on the grassland, and the minister thinks that I am afraid that the whole army of the Jin people is dispatched, and the strength of the whole country has such great ability, after all, the two armies of Brother Xiao Wei and Boyan are cooperating with each other, one is sitting in Jiutaitan, and the other is a guerrilla Jinman, Wanyan Zongbi can deal with Brother Xiao Wei so confidently and boldly, and the minister thinks that there must be an army that drags down the old general Xiao. ”

"How many soldiers are there? Can the soldiers be divided into two ways? Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the minister hear that the army of the Jin people is not Goryeo?" Wan Yan Sheng personally led the army to attack Goryeo, how could it be on the grassland now, the Jin soldiers are divided into three routes, and a total of more than 300,000 troops are needed, or even more, Your Majesty, this? ”

"That's Wan Yan Shengsheng!" Gongsun Sheng, Li Qiao and the others glanced at each other and blurted out.

"Yes, only in this way can Wan Yan Sheng transfer so many soldiers and horses, can he easily contain Boyan, and can he do something to Brother Xiao Wei." Li Jing patted his head and said: "You can never underestimate others, I just underestimated Wan Yan Sheng, thinking that Wan Yan Sheng is not as good as Wan Yan in military affairs, but I didn't expect Wan Yan Sheng to have such courage, and he used a strategy to attack the east and west, and gave us a hard stab, yes!" If this guy can take over the throne from Wanyan Aguda, he knows that this guy is not a simple character. ”

Li Jing had to admit it. After underestimating Yan Sheng, he was able to change everything in front of him with great courage in this situation, and lead the army into the grassland, which he never expected, so he suffered a big loss all of a sudden.

"In the face of this situation, what arrangements can the Military Aircraft Department have, several." Li Jing glanced at everyone, and his eyes fell on Gongsun Sheng and the others, although it was not easy to let these people come up with a response plan in a short time, but there was no way now.

Gongsun Sheng and the others glanced at each other, and finally Gongsun Sheng came out and said, "Your Majesty, we don't know the situation of General Boyan at the moment, but we can only plan for the worst, assuming that General Boyan has also been defeated." If this is the case, the entire grassland will fall into the hands of the Jin people, at this time, the first thing we have to keep is Yunzhou, with Yunzhou here, we can enter the grassland at any time. On the one hand, the minister ordered the defenders of Yanmen to defend Yanmen, second, ordered Yunzhou to tighten its defenses and recruit local young and strong people to defend the city, third, ordered the Taiyuan Army and other soldiers and horses to quickly enter a state of martial law, and sent a general to command the army to quickly support Yunzhou, and fourth, ordered General Gao Chong to return to the division, at least to keep the western grassland. Fifth, he ordered General Lu Shisang to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass, and sent cavalry to harass the grain and grass of the Jin people, delaying the movement of the Jin people. ”

Li Jing nodded approvingly, in such a short period of time, to be able to come up with these five suggestions, not ordinary people can do it, Gongsun Sheng, the chief university officer of the Military Aircraft Department, still has some ability.

"Your Majesty, after the defeat of the grassland, the Jin people will become our great enemy, and the minister believes that the defense of the nine sides should be strengthened, and heavy troops should be stationed on the nine sides, so as to prevent the Jin people from going south immediately." Wang Mu said again.

"Your Majesty, the main energy of the imperial court this year is still in Jiangnan, although Your Majesty has pacified Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is seriously damaged, and the treasury will spend a lot of effort to restore production in Jiangnan, I am afraid that there will be no energy and excess money in the north in a short period of time, and please let Your Majesty be aware of it." Cao Jing's frightened face was like earth, and he hurriedly said.
