The Turkic Jieli Khan led an army of 150,000 into Yanmen and harassed the annexation of the state; Other parts disturbed Yuanzhou, and the earthquake collapsed. The latest and fastest updates

As soon as the news was announced, the ministers' faces became a little serious, but there was no excessive surprise. The sage Li Yuan said directly: "At the beginning of the year, Xue Qing's family had a saying that the Turks would definitely go south this year, and our dynasty has been taking precautions against this. Now, Jieli is really here! ”

Because of Xue Lang, the imperial court was not unguarded against the southward movement of the Turks. It's just that Xue Lang is not in Beijing, and I don't know what measures the imperial court has to do about it, but he can make personnel adjustments.

Feng Deyi said: "Those who are worried are afraid that the Turkic tribes who are going south will not stop their profits. In addition, there is still Liu Heimin! ”

The largest group of the Turks who plundered south was the 150,000 army of Jieli Khan, and the rest of the tribes, although they were not so powerful, but the large number of invaders, plus Liu Heimin, who was still making a chaotic attack, put great pressure on the defense of the Tang Dynasty states.

The King of Qin's face was resolute, and he directly asked for battle: "Sage, please lead the troops to meet the Turks." Jieli went south, the momentum is flourishing, if at this time to meet the head-on, extinguish its momentum, then the rest of the troubles will be solved. If we fail to extinguish the momentum, the Turkic momentum will grow stronger and stronger, which will certainly affect the morale of our army, and at that time, the easy-to-fight war will also become a difficult war. ”

Xue Lang is a layman who fights in the war, and he also understands the meaning of King Qin, the way of marching, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion. It is the right time to give a head-on blow when the enemy's momentum is great, to destroy the enemy's prestige, and to strengthen one's own prestige.

Li Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Map!" ”

Immediately, an attendant brought out a huge map, I don't know what kind of animal skin it was made, the drawing nature is not as fine as modern, and the painting style is still so rough and abstract. Anyway, Xue Lang followed the past and watched for a while, he could understand the words, but he couldn't understand anything else, and he still couldn't understand the geographical overview to be expressed on this map.

Li Yuan took a cane handed over by the chamberlain, pointed at the map with the cane, and said, "This is the annexed state and the original state, which is the place where Jie's troops attacked; These states are the places where Liu Heimin is in turmoil. There are also these states, which are bordering the Turks, and all of them are plagued by Turkic soldiers. ”

Li Yuan clicked on the map and immediately frowned-

There are many places bordering the Turks, and with Liu Heimin, the defensive pressure is too great for the Tang army! The ministers also frowned, and even the King of Qin, who was in the main battle, frowned and pondered.

A middle-aged Wenchen said directly: "Sage, now there is Liu Heimin and the Turkic soldiers in rebellion, and there is a Jieli Department entering Yanmen, which can be described as internal and external troubles. As the old saying goes, the outside must be settled first. The minister thought that the court should pacify Liu Heimin first, and then the Turks, pacifying Liu Heimin was just a momentary effort, but it would take time to sweep away the Turks.

This is an advocate of peace.

Li Yuan said: "Zheng Qing is reasonable. ”

It turned out that this guy was Taichangqing Zheng Yuanshou. Xue Lang deliberately glanced at him secretly, the reason why Zheng Yuanshou proposed peace was not because he was a weak person, but from the perspective of Lao Cheng Mouguo.

This person is a truly courageous, knowledgeable and resourceful person, since the Sui Dynasty, a total of five envoys to the Turks, each time he was ordered to be in danger, and each time he was able to return safely, not to mention, he could complete the mission. For such a capable person, Xue Lang expressed his admiration.

Feng Deyi said loudly: "The minister is against it! ”

"Why is the Feng Qing family opposed?"

Li Yuan asked. Feng Deyi said angrily: "I have already taken precautions against the Turks in the south, and we are not fighting an unprepared war. What's more, since ancient times, how can there be a reason to seek peace before fighting? Wouldn't such a show of weakness over the Turks strengthen the prestige of the Turks and trap them in the midst of our dynasty and passivity? The minister suggested that we should fight first, and then negotiate peace after winning the war, so that we could take the initiative. ”

Li Yuan also nodded: "Feng Qing's family is reasonable!" ”

So, sage, which side are you rooting for?

For a time, the ministers of the court argued endlessly over whether to fight first or make peace first. Li Yuan didn't seem to be able to make up his mind for a while, and he was willing to let the ministers debate to see which option was more beneficial.

Xue Lang had a headache when he heard it, and said loudly: "Saint, the minister has something to say." ”

"Xue Qing's family, please speak."

Xue Lang said: "Sage, this year's famine in the Turks is the first year. But if there is a famine, will it be over in a year? What's more, the Turks are not good at farming, they live on animal husbandry, and their ability to resist disasters is weaker than that of the people of the Central Plains. It's just that they are skilled in bowing and horses, and when they are hungry, the first choice they make must be to go south and plunder. In the next few years, the Turks will certainly knock on the side frequently, and even if peace is negotiated, it will only be a short-lived, false peace in exchange for gold and silver. However, there has always been only peace that has been fought out, and there has been no peace that has been negotiated and negotiated together! ”

Xue Lang paused, accentuated his tone, and continued: "Furthermore, if I am at the beginning of the dynasty, if the court makes peace before fighting, what will the subjects of the world think?" The so-called upper line, the lower will follow. First, there is the Tang Dynasty with iron bones, and then there are the people of the Tang Dynasty who are iron-clad and unyielding! Therefore, the minister advocated that this battle must be fought! And it must be beaten hard, it is better to beat the Turks to the pain, so that the next time he wants to go south, he will not use his ass to decide his head, but think about it with his head, so that he can exchange for a short period of peace, so that I can divide my energy from the peace. And when I calm down the internal troubles, it will be the time of the end of the Turks! ”

"Bang Bang!"

There was a round of wat board high-five, and even Zheng Yuanshou, who advocated peace, turned to support Xue Lang's speech. The sage looked at Xue Lang's eyes full of appreciation, and said: "The words of the Qing family are like the evening drum and morning bell, deafening and thought-provoking. The people under my rule are iron-clad, not cowardly, rather than giving in, polite and courteous! After the peace talks are stopped, who can lead the troops to fight against the Turkic Jieli Khan today? Can the Qing family be recommended by the candidate? ”

The last sentence was actually asked by Xue Lang. Xue Lang was a little dumbfounded when asked, he only knew the famous generals of the Zhenguan Dynasty and the generals of the Gaozu Dynasty...... I knew a few things, but I didn't know the details, so I thought about it and said: "Sage, Weichen has just returned, and I am not familiar with the generals of my dynasty." I only know that Princess Pingyang has great military achievements, and the King of Qin can fight well, but now the princess is guarding the pass, only the King of Qin is in the court, why not ask the King of Qin? ”

The King of Qin is an expert in the war, Xue Lang pushed him with peace of mind, and by the way, he helped his lord Princess Pingyang brush up his sense of existence. Li Yuan was obviously in a good mood, and said with kindness: "What does King Qin suggest?" ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, immediately got up, stood in front of the map, took the cane, pointed to the map and said: "Sage, the minister suggests that the army can be divided into four routes, all the way out of Youzhou, all the way out of Qinzhou, and attack the Turks head-on. In addition, two more troops were sent to Yunzhong and Xiazhou to raid the Turks to cut off the Turkic back route. As for Jieli...... The minister invited himself to lead the troops, carrying the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow to meet Jieli. ”

Prince Jiancheng asked in shock: "The bed crossbow and the divine arm bow have become an army?" ”

King Qin looked at the prince and replied: "Since I got the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow, my subordinates rushed to work day and night, and selected the corporal to train them, and now it has become a battalion, and it is enough to meet the Turks!" ”
