Now more than a month has passed since Li Shimin ascended the throne, and Li Shimin also ascended the throne more than a month earlier than the original history. And now, Li Shimin's cronies and generals are all in the Taiji Palace, because they have received a news, very serious news, so that everyone can't ignore this situation. If you don't pay attention to it, then Datang may be about to die within a few years of the founding of the country.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Turks are here, they have invaded Jingzhou, and now Jingzhou has fallen." Li Shimin announced a bad news in front of everyone.

"What? The Turks are coming? "The Turks invaded and broke through Jingzhou?" "What do the Turks want to do?"

All the civil and military generals are talking about it, and they don't know what the Turks want to do. Because the Turks usually invade on a small scale, there are very few large-scale invasions. Now that even the city has been captured, of course, it is a large-scale invasion. Now the Turks don't need much food, so what are they invading for?

"Of course we have to guard against the wolf ambitions of the Turks, the ambitions of the Turks are not small!" Li Shimin sighed.

Then, Li Shimin told everyone about the conflict between Li Junxian's farming people and the nomadic people, as well as the situation that the farming peoples often went on the Northern Expedition after recuperating and recuperating in history. And those ministers realized how dangerous a complete and unified Tang Dynasty was for the Turks, and the Turks naturally wanted to prevent the unification of the Central Plains. And it's the first time they've heard the point of view, and it's a bit new.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this point of view, which Li Junxian learned based on the history of the Republic of China at the end of the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the great powers were afraid of a unified China, so they did everything to split China, because a unified and strong China would be their last word. And the Turkic thinking is very similar to this situation, don't look at the Central Plains is usually bullied by the nomads, but once the Central Plains civilization has a chance to develop, the nomads will be dangerous. Those Huns, Wuhuan people, and many other nomads have disappeared, either perished or assimilated by the Han people, which is enough to learn a certain lesson. And Jieli, who can be the Khan of the Turks, is certainly not a fool, and should be able to see this, so he should take the opportunity to invade. But this invasion is not at all costs, and if things can't be done, then they won't go desperately.

"Your Majesty, give me 50,000 elite soldiers, and I'll drive the Turks away!" Wei Chigong shouted.

Li Shimin didn't answer, but Li Junxian took the initiative to come out and said, "General Weichi, we don't have 50,000 elite soldiers. In the vicinity of Chang'an City, we only have seventy or eighty thousand. If we give you 50,000 elite soldiers, where will we transfer troops to guard Chang'an. What's more, these troops are all to protect countless people in Guanzhong, and we can't easily transfer them! ”

Wei Chigong continued: "As long as I am given 10,000, I can go and fight the Turks. ”

"General Wei Chi, do you know how many Turks came? There are more than 150,000 of them, all of them are cavalry. Our soldiers are all infantry, you use infantry to fight cavalry, what are you thinking? True, we have a small number of cavalry, but less than three thousand. 3,000 cavalry to fight against more than 100,000 menacing Turkic cavalry? Li Junxian said angrily.

Li Junxian knew that Wei Chigong was more impulsive, and he belonged to that kind of general. It's okay for this kind of person to carry out combat missions, but if he is allowed to really observe the strategy and dispatch the troops, it is indeed a little difficult for him. However, Wei Chigong also knew that the infantry against the cavalry was at least ten times more than that. Therefore, Wei Chigong has no way to say anything, because the strength in his hands is insufficient!

At this time, Li Shimin, who was stabilizing the situation, came out and said: "Jun Xian told me about this as early as a month ago. I'm prepared, so don't be afraid. ”

"As early as a month ago, I heard General Junxian's analysis, and I had already estimated that the Turks were going to join the army. Therefore, I have already asked the soldiers around me to come to King Qin. Now, I already have 80,000 usable troops near Datang. In addition, some warriors who were good at riding and archery were temporarily incurred, and a light cavalry and a heavy cavalry were formed. These cavalry were handed over to General Jun Xian to command. Moreover, the infantry was also trained to a certain extent, so we did not have to be too afraid of the Turks. We will have a decisive battle with the Turks outside the city of Chang'an and force the Turks back. Li Shimin shouted arrogantly.

When everyone heard Li Shimin say this, they immediately felt a lot more relieved. The pressure of the Turks' hundreds of thousands of cavalry was too great to crush their defenses. 10,000 cavalry is enough to fight 100,000 infantry, which is recognized by all major military strategists in history. Moreover, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and even if you defeat them, the infantry will not be able to pursue and expand the victory. And the more than 100,000 cavalry, I am afraid that the transfer of troops from all over the country may not be able to help.

Seeing this situation, Li Junxian glanced at Li Shimin, and shook his head secretly. Although Li Junxian had already reminded him, Li Shimin also mobilized the surrounding forces in advance, so that the defenders near Chang'an City had at least doubled compared to history. But these troops are also a drop in the bucket, and they are not powerful, so they can only make themselves feel at ease. Li Junxian also did not doubt that the outcome of this battle would eventually be resolved peacefully, and it would be impossible to destroy the hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry. However, if you want to solve it peacefully, you must also have the corresponding strength, and this is how you can fight and promote peace.

Since the army is insufficient, it is necessary to find ways to improve the quality of the army so that the army's combat effectiveness can be enhanced. Li Junxian worked hard to train the troops in this month, and handed over some of the tactics of infantry against cavalry in later generations to the army, and let those middle and low-level generals train according to this method. They didn't know what this meant before, but now they know that this is to make everyone prepared!

And the mixed cavalry is Li Junxian's real killer weapon, and Li Junxian will personally lead that cavalry to meet the Turks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is related to the survival of my Datang, so you Aiqing can't take it lightly! This time, we must work together to drive the Turks out. As long as we get through this difficulty, my Datang will truly dominate the world and become the overlord of the Central Plains. At that time, it will be okay for everyone to be famous, famous, and rich, and I will not be stingy with high-ranking officials! "Li Shimin did a pre-war mobilization to tempt everyone with high-ranking officials.

"Long live Your Majesty!" "Long live the emperor!" "The minister must go all out to kill the enemy and defend the Tang Dynasty!"
