Chapter Thirty-Six: The King of Troops (I)

Soon, the prince's subordinates also came. And when everyone heard Chen Fei's statement that the Turks might attack, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat all over their bodies. Because it's not impossible, it's very possible. If you want to use them, the perennial conspiracy and calculation, even those from a strategic and tactical point of view, the Turks are likely to take the opportunity to attack. Because if Chang'an is defeated, all the central personnel of Datang will be destroyed, and then Datang will lose its unified command, so that the Central Plains will return to a state of chaos again. If they think about it from their other perspectives, I'm afraid they will do the same, after all, it has become a book of profits.

"Prince, how many troops do we have in Chang'an now?" Fang Xuanling immediately asked.

And Li Shimin said with a bitter face: "Less than 30,000!" ”

"Thirty thousand? Too little! Fang Xuanling replied.

And everyone began to calculate what the 30,000 army could do. Obviously, I'm afraid that 30,000 is simply not enough to be able to cope with the attack of the Turks. And they didn't think of this before, their previous enemies were all Li Jiancheng, and they didn't think about the Turks at all. The so-called wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and these "wise men" suddenly find that they seem to have missed this very important issue. They all wanted to eliminate Li Jiancheng, but they didn't realize what to do after eliminating Li Jiancheng. Now that everyone is in trouble, how to deal with it after Li Jiancheng is eliminated, this is obviously something that everyone has not thought about. And they did not expect that the Turks would take the opportunity to attack. This is where they must fail, this is really fatal.

However, as the most loyal thug to Li Shimin, Wei Chigong immediately said: "Prince, as long as you give orders all your life, I, Wei Chigong, will definitely fight for you and die without regrets." Even if the Turks come, I will fight them to the death! ”

Li Shimin nodded, obviously very satisfied with Wei Chigong's answer. But then, loyalty alone can't solve the threat of the Turks, although it seems that the Turks have no action now, but I'm afraid that the Turks are brewing bad water in their stomachs, obviously they are all thinking about cleaning up the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, it is necessary to deal with it, otherwise it will not be possible to fight at all.

"Prince, I don't think the Turks will come!" Yu Wenshi said.

But Chen Fei next to him said with certainty: "The Turks will definitely come, and the minister dares to bet that they will definitely come." The Turkic Khan Jieli Khan is not a fool, they will not fail to see this situation. Therefore, the minister was sure that Jieli Khan would definitely bring his troops to attack with the whole army. At that time, our 30,000 troops may not be their opponents at all, so please make preparations. ”

And everyone saw Chen Fei at this time, and when they heard Chen Fei's affirmation, everyone really knew Chen Fei for the first time. Everyone didn't have any impression of Chen Fei before, after all, Chen Fei was just an inside line pulled over by the eldest grandson Wuji, but now there is no need for Chen Fei to be an inside line, and Chen Fei will naturally return to his original job. But now Chen Fei took the initiative to say that the Turks would attack, and the news was too shocking. And everyone agreed, and Yuwen Shi said that the Turks might not attack, maybe they were just comforting themselves.

As those present, they all know that the Turks are not fools, and if they were fools, they would have perished long ago. Don't think that those Turks are a bunch of reckless men with no brains. On the grasslands, the danger is even more cruel than in the Central Plains, not only against natural disasters, but also against the ferocious human beings. And there is no benevolence and morality on the grassland, so the conspiracy and calculation are even less moral pressure than the people of the Central Plains, and the people who can survive in this situation are even more treacherous. So will the Turks miss this opportunity? Obviously, everyone doesn't think so.

"Xuan Ling, do you have anything you can do?" Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling and asked.

But Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, just said: "Since this matter was raised by Chen Fei in the army, and Chen Fei first thought that the Turks would attack, then it is better to ask Chen Fei to join the army and say an idea!" ”

And Chen Fei was speechless, this Fang Xuanling actually let himself come up with an idea. People say that Fang Xuanling is a "Fang Mou", but now he actually lets himself come up with ideas, so is his "Fang Mou" eating for nothing? But since others kicked the ball to him, Chen Fei could only bite the bullet.

"Prince, the minister thinks that while the Turks are not coming now, it is better to quickly transfer troops to the king! Now the Turks will not come so quickly, we seize this time to send an order to everyone to send troops to King Qin, and we should be able to achieve it. At that time, we have enough strength to meet the invasion of the Turks, and we can guarantee the safety of our Datang capital. Chen Fei said.

"Dispatch the army to the king?" Everyone didn't expect Chen Fei to say such words.

The so-called King Qin had two interpretations in ancient times. One refers to a minister who is very dedicated to his work and can be said to be diligent in the king's affairs. As for the other, it is that the ruling position of the emperor and monarch is affected, for example, the capital is besieged by rebels or foreigners, and there are powerful ministers usurping power, in this case, the emperor calls on the local army to kill the capital to save the driver, this can also be called the king of Qin.

But the word King Qin seems to be a compliment. But in fact, there are many situations, some courtiers claim to be here to help the emperor, and then the result is to take the opportunity to occupy the capital, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Biri said that Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period of the late Han Dynasty. There are also some who simply rebelled in the name of King Qin, such as the Seven Kings Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, in the name of King Qin's side of Qingjun. However, as a monarch in the feudal era, he is very sensitive to the word King Qin.

Once King Qin's words are not used well, I am afraid it will be very dangerous, and it is easy to cause his powerful factions to take the opportunity to rebel. So when Chen Fei proposed to transfer troops to King Qin, everyone was also a little puzzled, because the word King Qin was too sensitive. In case, that is, if it is not used well by those people who are diligent kings, then I am afraid it may be very dangerous. Even if someone has ambitions, then maybe they will take the opportunity to attack and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. This is also a very dangerous situation for Li Tang, and everyone has to be careful. People may not have this idea, but when the time comes, maybe who knows if they will have this ambition?

"Everyone, Aiqing, let's talk about it, how about Chen Fei's proposal to join the army?" Li Shimin saw that the scene was a little cold, and took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, the ministers oppose the transfer of troops to the king!" Yu Wenshi and the first to come out and speak.
