"Great idea, big idea. King Yong'an really deserves to be my son's room. Li Shimin said happily. If they beat our imperial capital Chang'an, we will beat their Dingxiang sweat tent, so that they can also taste it, so that people can hit the taste of the doorstep. ”

Saying that, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin ordered: "The edict ordered Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to lead an army of 300,000 to quickly and comprehensively attack the Turks, and surprise attack the Turkic tent in Dingxiang, in order to avenge the Turks' sneak attack on Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty." ”

After that, a messenger walked into the main hall and took over the edict just issued by Li Shimin. Li Shimin advised: "Send it to Li Jing's hands as soon as possible and covertly, and let him act quickly in accordance with the edict." ”

Li Xuan stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, the minister hopes that Your Majesty can send more messengers, and through the messengers, let Jieli and them know our plan to attack their Dingxiang Khan's tent. ”

Li Shimin asked with a puzzled face: "Let Jieli know them?" ”

Li Xuan replied: "Yes, let Jieli and them know." It's better to know than not to know, Jieli's subordinates will definitely ask Jieli to withdraw his troops if they know about it. Now Jieli's army has killed near Chang'an, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, but our army has not yet set off, the situation is not favorable to us, only Jieli has withdrawn his troops, and my Tang Emperor's capital Chang'an, my Tang Dynasty court can turn the crisis into peace. ”

Li Shimin suddenly realized: "Yes, I have to let Jieli know about them." Only when they know about it, they will withdraw their troops, and the siege of Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty, can be lifted. ”

Soon, more than a dozen messengers were recruited into the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin instructed again: "Divide more than ten ways to send a message to Li Jing." If you are unfortunate enough to be captured by the Turks, I will allow you to put up a little resistance before handing over the secret letter. ”

All the messengers were amazed. According to military regulations, the secret letter that came out is more important than his own life, once he is caught, he must destroy the letter as soon as possible, whether he can live or not, it doesn't matter, but if the secret letter is discovered by the enemy and leaks the military aircraft, it will definitely be beheaded. The messengers looked at each other, but when they thought that this was an order from the Tang Emperor, they bowed down together and turned around and left the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin glanced at the people present and said slowly: "Li Jing's 300,000 army is about to move and attack the Turks. Now, let's follow King Yong'an's plan and discuss how to organize two support armies outside Chang'an City to guard Chang'an City, the imperial capital, right? ”

Everyone had nothing to do, and looked at Li Xuan together.

Li Xuan slowly paced in the main hall and said: "Two reinforcements: one is the millions of people in Guanlong; The second is the 120,000 army led by the Turkic Turks and Khibi Holi.

Guanlong is the starting place of my Tang Longyou Li royal family and Guanlong aristocratic group, and it is also the foundation of my Tang Longyou Li royal family and Guanlong aristocratic group. The Longyou Li clan and the Guanlong nobles have the highest prestige in the land of Guanlong, the most popular people, and the most powerful. Therefore, the minister suggested that His Majesty should send my Longyou Li clan royal family, Guanlong nobles with prestige and ability, and heads of various families to leave the imperial capital of Chang'an City and go to the land of Guanlong, organize the people from all over the country, and kill the enemy King Qin. I, Datang, want to let the Turks understand: The land of Guanlong is the land of my Datang, not a place where their Turks can spread wild at will.

Although the Turks were numerous, they were not evenly matched. Only Jieli alone has the ambition to dominate the four seas and destroy the heart of my Datang, and what others are trying is just the treasury of my Datang and the wealth of Datang, and Tuli and Qibi He Li are even more against Jieli everywhere, beware at any time, and we have formed a stake in the cold. Therefore, the minister suggested that His Majesty should select a man who could speak well, and persuade the Turkic chiefs such as the Turks, the Kham, and other Turkic tribesmen, and explain their interests to them, induce them to take advantage, and divide and win them over, so that they could become our important helpers. ”

After listening to Li Xuan's analysis, Li Shimin fell into deep thought. Before he could speak, he saw King Guande, Zong Zhengqing, Li Xiong, the head of the Li royal family of Longyou, Langzhong, the chief of the Guanlong aristocracy, and Sun Wuji, the chief of the Guanlong aristocracy, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that the country is in danger, the ministers are willing to follow the plan of the King of Yong'an, and lead the prestige and capable family heads of the Li clan and the Guanlong nobles to go to the land of Guanlong, organize the people, and kill the enemy to serve the country." ”

Li Shimin's eyes were moved to tears, he slowly stood up, walked to Li Xiong, who was gray-haired and over the age of old, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "It's hard for the old uncle and Wuji." My uncle is so old, and he has to be born and die for my Tang Dynasty, and go deep into the dangerous place, I am really very guilty in my heart. ”

Li Xiong looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, if Chang'an is broken by the Turks, my Tang Sheji will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the land of Guanlong will be completely lost." Without the land of Guanlong, the royal family of the Li clan and the nobles of Guanlong will have broken their foundation and become a rootless Ping and a waterless wood, completely declining and annihilated. We can't let the Longyou Li royal family and the Guanlong nobles be destroyed in our hands, as long as we can keep Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and keep the hundreds of years of foundation laid by our ancestors, even if we die, then what is it? Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if I, the Li clan of Longyou and the nobles of Guanlong, have exhausted their family resources and lost their elites, they will definitely not let the Turks advance another half a step, and we will firmly drag them to Wugong County, which is forty miles away from the imperial capital Chang'an. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also echoed impassionedly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will do whatever it takes, all material, manpower, and financial resources, to firmly hold the Turks back and prevent them from entering." ”

Li Shimin excitedly grabbed the hands of Li Xiong and the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Now that the country is in danger, my Longyou Li royal family and Guanlong nobles are also in danger, and there is no way out. I am willing to work with the Li clan of Longyou and the nobles of Guanlong to face the crisis and go to the national disaster together. ”

Li Xiong and Eldest Sun Wuji both looked at the Tang Emperor Li Shimin with a firm attitude, nodded and echoed loudly: "The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty, face the crisis together, and go to the national disaster together." ”

With that, the hands of the three people clasped tightly together.

Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhong Cen Wenwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, looked at each other, and after discussing in a low voice, the three of them walked to the front of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and said in unison: "This Turkic southern invasion is not only a crisis for the Li clan of Longyou and the nobles of Guanlong, but also a crisis for the whole world, my Tang Sheji. The ministers and the other three discussed and decided that during this trip to Guanlong, the royal family of the Li clan and the nobles of Guanlong sent people to organize the people to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the weapons, grain and grass, and baggage were shared by the wealthy clan of Shandong and the clan of the south. Facing the current crisis together, we will go to the national disaster together. ”

Their words were sonorous and powerful, which moved the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the officials in the hall very much. Li Shimin took the hands of Cui Gan, Lu Chengqing, and Cen Wenwen, and held his own hands, Li Xiong's hands, and the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji tightly, and they all had a firm belief in their hearts - to face the crisis together and go to the national disaster together.

Since then, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the four major political forces that can influence the situation in the world have formally reached an agreement to jointly face the country's crisis.
