Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was even more surprised and asked Li Xuan, "Why?" Why didn't King Yong'an let Li Jing lead the army back to the imperial capital Chang'an and coordinate the guards? ”

Li Xuan said slowly: "After the wonderful performance of His Majesty and everyone this morning, I believe that Jieli must be muttering in his heart now." Now he can't guess what the real situation is in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. If, we now urgently summon the Jiuwei army led by Li Jing to return, as long as Li Jing leads the Jiuwei 300,000 army into the vicinity of Guanzhong, then it will inevitably be discovered by Jieli, and at that time, Jieli will inevitably understand the true situation of the emptiness of the army of our Tang Emperor, and he will definitely attack the imperial capital Chang'an at all costs. My Chang'an City now has less than 30,000 troops, how can it withstand the onslaught of the 400,000 Turkic army? Moreover, Li Jing's army was recalled by the starry night, and once the Turks set up an ambush at a certain dangerous point, the army led by Li Jing would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and even fall into the danger of annihilation. The Nine Guards Army led by Li Jing is almost the main force of my Datang. Without the army, a country will have no backbone, no minimum security, and the entire Tang Dynasty will be like a no-man's land, and the Turks can only be allowed to act recklessly. ”

Inside the main hall, everyone fell into deep thought.

Encircling Wei to save Zhao and encircling points to send reinforcements, this is the best strategy of the art of war of a generation of masters Sun Bin. In the early days of the Warring States Period, Wei was the most powerful and had the strongest military strength, and even the great power of Qi at that time did not dare to face the enemy, but the temples of Wei were confused, and they tried to unify the world through the war of annihilation. Qi was forced to get involved in the war, Sun Bin became the military advisor of the Qi army, he did not have a hard encounter with Wei, nor did he dare to fight hard with Wei, but twice chose the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, attacking the capital of Wei that the enemy must save, attracting the enemy to help, and then setting up an ambush at a dangerous place to annihilate the enemy's living force in one fell swoop. In the two wars, the 600,000 troops of Wei were killed and wounded, the commander Pang Juan committed suicide, and Wei also fell from the first power of the Warring States to a second-rate country.

Now the situation of the Tang Dynasty is very similar to the situation of the Wei State in the early years of the Warring States Period, once the 300,000 troops commanded by Li Jing are lost, and the Turks are eyeing the side again, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will have no chance to turn over at all, and can only let the Turks plunder and attack at will until they are destroyed.

Everyone frowned, and they didn't seem to see the slightest hope.

Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said helplessly: "Could it be that my Datang can really only rely on these 30,000 troops to defend the lonely city of Chang'an?" My Tang court can only wait to be killed, is there nothing to do? I have a big Tang world, can only let the Turks run freely, do nonsense? Will my people of the Tang Dynasty only be ravaged and slaughtered by the Turks? ”

Everyone in the hall looked depressed, and a pessimistic mood spread in the hall.

Li Xuan looked at everyone and said to Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor with a grim expression: "Your Majesty, in fact, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, doesn't need to rescue troops at all, our number is much more than Jieli, and the army is much more than Jieli." ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and after confirming that he was not talking nonsense, he hurriedly asked, "Where did my Tang army come from?" ”

Li Xuan replied: "In the vicinity of Chang'an, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, we have at least two reinforcements. ”

"Two reinforcements?" Everyone looked at Li Xuan with surprise on their faces.

Li Xuan continued: "The first reinforcement is the millions of Tang people in my Guanlong area. Since ancient times, the Guanlong area, the natural environment is harsh, and the people are especially resistant to hard fighting, as long as my Tang Dynasty court sends capable people to organize, within a few days, my Tang Dynasty can increase the number of soldiers by millions; Second reinforcements? ”

Li Xuan looked around at everyone present, and everyone looked at Li Xuan, looking forward to Li Xuan's analysis. "The second reinforcement is the 170,000 army led by the Turkic Turks and Qibi Heli?"

Everyone was surprised: "Turks? The army led by Tuli and Qibi is our second reinforcement? ”

Li Xuan replied affirmatively: "Yes, it is the army commanded by Tuli and Qibi. Think about it, everyone, why did Jieli pass through the Longyou Secret Road for ten days, and his henchman Yaerjin was faster, only eight points, while Tuli and Qibi He Li, who set off with them, did not pass through it for twenty days? I think that this is because Jieli Khan has just unified the ** ministries, and the hearts of the people of Tuli and Qibi He Li have not been attached, and Jieli is suspicious and brutal, and if Tuli and Qibi He Li come early, they will inevitably be sent out by Jieli and fight with my Tang Dynasty, and he Jieli can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Once the Tang Emperor is broken by Jieli, Jieli's next goal must be to get rid of Tuli and Qibi He Li. According to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, I think that as long as His Majesty sends a confidant to contact Tuli and Qi Bi Heli, the two of them will definitely be willing to cooperate with my Datang and support my Datang to fight against Jieli, a hungry wolf. ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard with his hand, and his eyes flashed. After pondering for a long time, he said: "According to what King Yong'an said, my Datang has the support of the 170,000 army of Tuli and Qibi, and the support of millions of Datang people, so why should I, Datang, be afraid of the 200,000 horses of his Jieli?" It's just that the 300,000 troops of Jiuwei led by Li Jing are motionless, which is a pity. ”

Li Xuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't want Li Jing and them to be idle. I have a good place to go, not only to keep them idle, but also to relieve the pressure of my imperial capital Chang'an. ”

Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, is there such a good place to go?" King Yong'an, speak quickly. ”

Li Xuan slowly walked to a military map and pointed to the vast steppe of the Turkic country bordering Youzhou.

"Prairie? On the territory of the Turks? Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Xuan said loudly: "This time, Jieli is the army of the country to the south. His army of 400,000 was firmly sucked near Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty. Since he dares to threaten me in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, then okay, we will adopt the strategy of 'you fight yours, I will fight mine', they will fight our Guanlong land, we will fight their grassland, and fight the sweat tent of Jieli located in Dingxiang, this is a lose-lose style of play, and it is also a kind of fatal way of playing, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, it depends on who can't hold it first, who is timid first? ”
