When the army started, Li Jing was about to cry, and said in his heart that if Li Chengzong knew what the current situation would be like, the thunder and anger and thunder could not be said to be excessive. This time I privately decided to send troops, and I might have lost my life!

Not to mention that Li Jing guessed everything correctly, Li Chengzong in the main hall couldn't find anything like a cup, and he couldn't smash anything that couldn't kill people. Otherwise, there may be a few ministers in the palace who are bleeding from their heads, and the 20,000 enemies will lose their armor and flee back in embarrassment. Li Jing is still a famous bullshit, and it is really rare to be famous like this.

"The front is losing troops, Li Jing is the commander-in-chief, and he should be escorted back to Chang'an to ask for the crime." Xu Jingzong saw clearly that Li Chengzong was really angry. At this time, it is impossible to take the opportunity to step on Li Jing wildly, this is in line with the emperor's heart.

"The minister thinks it's impossible, it's really unwise to be handsome in battle, please think twice about Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stood up and retorted.

Xu Jingzong was angry, thinking that this Wei Zheng was really a thorn, and he dared to come forward to protect Li Jing at this time, didn't you die? Today, we are going to discuss with you, I can't get used to your arrogance in the day, and I always think that Datang is just a capable minister.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei doesn't pay attention to this, where did the Turkic war come from? Neither the Turki Khan nor the Jieli Khan have ever sent troops, and the 100,000-strong army has never faced a major battle since the expedition. Li Jing did not respect the Shengming, and was eager for success and profit, resulting in the defeat of 20,000 Tang soldiers without a fight, losing the face of the imperial court, and should be punished heavily. Xu Jingzong said.

This time, there was no reason to argue, Wei Zheng had the intention to rescue Li Jing, but Xu Jingzong's words really couldn't find a flaw. There has never been a big war. The Turks retreated. The Emperor ordered the garrison to be stationed rather than attacked, even if the general was not subject to the orders of the foreign king. But if you win, you can, the key is that you lose without fighting. How to explain? If it is said that everything is providential, it does not mean that Datang cannot be blessed by God, and he will die faster.

Li Chengzong also did not say, did not comment, and did not express his position. Until the Scattered Dynasty, he didn't say what happened to Li Jing, which made everyone very curious. You say you're either going to spare him or you're going to clean him up, but you don't react to that.

Fang and Du were not curious, because the emperor was talking to them about it.

"Li Jingzong has a big mistake. But his command talent is unparalleled, and I have no intention of changing the commander. However, Li Jing has stabbed such a big basket, if he is not punished, I am afraid that it will be unfair, you two talk about what to do. Li Chengzong asked.

Fang Xuanling's heart was sad, he wanted to punish but was reluctant to give up Li Jing's talent, and he felt that he had lost face if he didn't punish him, and he couldn't hold it on his face.

"Your Majesty, don't give a verbal reprimand. Set an example. "Fang Xuanling is perfunctory. If you lose the battle, you will scold twice, and then the generals of the Tang Dynasty will use this as an excuse to spread wild, which is the so-called example to help.

Faint, Du Ruhui also felt that Fang Xuanling was not in a state today. It's weird to spread it out and not be laughed at.

Li Chengzong said: "I haven't eaten! What a bad idea, think of another one. "It's strange, it's nothing for others to say this. Fang Xuanling is a character anyway, how can he not be level. Li Chengzong thought to himself. It shouldn't be that Fang Xuanling is thinking crookedly!

Who knows, this Fang Xuanling listened to Li Chengzong's words. Then he said: "Your Majesty, what the minister means is that you can add a few sentences to the holy decree of asking for guilt, if Li Jing can't take the head of the Second Turkic Khan next year, he will be killed, and if he takes the head of the Second Turkic Khan, he will not be rewarded or punished, and it should be completely regarded as a meritorious service." ”

"Is it okay to kill him?" Li Chengzong couldn't help but ask himself, that was Li Jing, one of the best military strategists. Thinking about it again, there are talented people in the country, if he doesn't kill Li Jing, he can't live forever, he is dead, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are still there, and there are still talents under him. Give him a year next year, and if he can't do it, then it's not a pity that he will die. If you do it better, the credit of Tianda will be taken away by yourself, and it will save a lot of trouble.

Du Ruhui followed Fang Xuanling's words and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. This time, General Li Jing's leading troops to battle cannot be said to be a dereliction of duty, but defeat is defeat. General Li Jing has always had a very high prestige in the army, and this time he must be deeply questioned, and if His Majesty gives him a chance, he will definitely be grateful. If he loses again, without His Majesty's decree, General Li Jing himself is afraid that he will not be able to live shamelessly. ”

These words are in line with the emperor's heart, and Li Chengzong also felt that he had inadvertently praised Li Jing a little high, and generals like Xue Wanche and Shan Xiongxin, who followed him several times from birth to death, were not as high as his rank. Moreover, this will be handsome and brave, and it will also be a threat to the monarch, and it is not a bad thing for Li Chengzong to take the opportunity to suppress it.

Li Chengzong said: "This is still an idea, and it is worthy of the money you take." ”

After letting the two out of the palace, Du Ruhui asked: "You can be regarded as helping Li Jing, and Li Jing is really going to tie a grass ring for you in the future." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Don't do another big defeat, otherwise I won't help Li Jing but harm Li Jing, once Your Majesty himself makes a will, Li Jing fails to kill the Turkic Second Khan, then the fun will be great." ”

"Why are you so worried? It's not always going to be hard to get along with us. Du Ruhui said, remembering the reason why Li Jing was defeated and returned.

The army left the camp and walked only a hundred miles, but was trapped by a sudden heavy snowfall. It is impossible to go on, and it is very difficult to turn back, many people are frostbitten even if they have cotton clothes, or even freeze to death, which is really a grievance of defeat. Li Jing may have considered any defeat in his life, but he never imagined that he would be defeated in the hands of a blizzard.

Fang Xuanling said: "Worrying about Li Jing is one thing, worrying about myself is the main thing. ”

Du Ruhui said: "You are not the one who was ordered to condemn, what are you worried about?" ”

"Your Majesty has no intention of killing Li Jing at all, you can see it just now. In response to my proposal, like you and me, His Majesty firmly believes that Li Jing will win, if he loses in the future. Your Majesty will definitely find me out again, first, to scold me for my bad idea, and second, to definitely let me find another way to rescue Li Jing, and what will happen then. ”

Du Ruhui was stunned and said calmly: "Eight words can solve your doubts." ”

"What are those eight words?"

"People are worried, and mediocre people disturb themselves."

"That's eight good words. General Li Jing! General Li Jing, for your sake, for me, next year's battle will be won't be defeated! Fang Xuanling muttered to himself. It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Li Jing, it's just that he has been under Li Chengzong's hands for a long time recently, and he knows what kind of person he is. He doesn't like to kill, but he likes to be strong, and he actually asks you to do something unexpected, who can stand it. Taking the risk of coming up with this idea, Fang Xuanling also had a private idea to win over a general like Li Jing, and his strength could be raised to a higher level. (To be continued......)
