"Your Majesty, an urgent report from Jinyiwei. Lord Shen Qianqiu has already entered the palace. At night, Song He's voice was particularly eager, after the palace was locked, no one was allowed to enter the palace, and only Shen Qianqiu, the Jinyi guard, could rashly open the palace lock and enter the palace at this time.

Li Xin is staying at Wei Nizi's place today, this proud and cold woman, was finally sent to the palace, became one of Li Xin's concubines, Li Xin loves the fragrance of her body, has been staying here for many days, just after a exercise, was about to rest, when he heard Song He outside the main hall, bold shouting. He was anxious in his heart, he could have reported earlier, but the battle was raging inside, and Song He didn't dare to speak even if he had the courage to do so, even now, he also complained in his heart, this Shen Qianqiu came at too coincidental time.

"What's the matter?" Li Xinzheng stroked the towering place of Wei Nizi, and when he heard the voice of Song He outside, he couldn't help frowning, but Wei Nizi looked shy, and his delicate body hid in the brocade quilt, and gently pushed Li Xin.

Li Xin had no choice but to put on a piece of clothing and walked out, with a hint of joy on his body, Li Xin himself couldn't help frowning, it is not unreasonable that the ancient emperors had a short life, this color is a bone scraper, Li Xin is strong, so he is so sharp, but Li Xin also felt that his waist was a little sore at this time, and after careful calculation, it seemed that he had been obsessed with the war between men and women for many days.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Western Turks has changed greatly, and the Commander Yehu Khan was killed by He Molu, ten days ago, He Molu sent people to chase and kill Ashina Li, the son of the Commander Yehu Khan, and pursued the troops to Gaochang, which was blocked by General Xu Yi, and Ashina Khali had left Gaochang and came to the Tang Dynasty on the way." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to Li Xin.

"Ashina mud, Ashina cloud, Ashina power." Li Xin looked at the words on the note and frowned, these Turkic names are not spoken, and the relationship is still very complicated.

"How many soldiers and horses does Ashina Ni have in his hands? He Molu was nothing more than the leader of a small tribe. How can you assassinate the Khan of Tongye Hu, is the eagle really old? Li Xinyang raised the note in his hand, although he vaguely guessed that something would happen to the Western Turks, and Jieli Khan wanted to deal with the Western Turks, and would also take other means, but he didn't expect that Tongye Hu Khan was so useless that he was actually killed by his uncle.

"There are only 30,000 people in the hands of Ashina Ni, although He Molu is a small tribe, but he is a member of the Ashina family, and he killed the Tongye Hu Khan. Other tribes may not support it, but the Ashina family has this tradition, and it is nothing for brothers to compete and kill each other, at least the Ashina family still has some people who support He Modu, and the elite soldiers of the tooth tent are still in his hands. As for Ashina, he is just a young man, although he is a special service, he doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands at all. Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

"Even if the Western Turks don't die this time, it is impossible to become the overlord of the Western Regions, and heavy losses are inevitable." Li Xin raised the note in his hand and said.

"What does the emperor mean?" Shen Qianqiu hesitated for a while.

"Let Jin Yiwei deeply understand the situation of both sides first. Whether it is the Jieli Khan or the Western Turks, this must be the case, and we cannot rush to intervene now. Li Xin thought for a moment. It was decided to do it in accordance with the decision of the Wude Hall that day, recuperate, train soldiers and horses, and only unify the world first. in order to finally defeat the steppe.

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly responded, looked at the sky, and dared to stay. I had to retreat.

"Hey, what an eventful time." Li Xin shook his head, went back to the bedroom, and slowly fell asleep with Veniko in his arms.

Early the next morning, in the arsenal hall, Li Xin was naked, practicing martial arts, only to see that his upper body was strong, his muscles were bulging, containing huge strength, and he was holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and there was a stone hanging on the Fang Tian painting halberd, the cold light was shining, and he kept knocking on an iron block in the distance, making a sound of gold and iron.

On the other side, the general Li Jing, the Wude Hall scholar Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui stood there quietly.

Li Xin had the three of them called over early in the morning and told the three of them about the Western Turks, Ashina Yun was about to come to the Central Plains with Ashina Force, and they came to Chang'an to ask the Tang Dynasty to send troops. It's just that Datang needs to send troops? That's what the three of them are going to discuss.

When Li Xin was practicing martial arts, he could hear the sound of the three of them arguing together from time to time, and after a long time, Li Xin took the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and felt a burst of relief all over his body.

"How's it going, how are the three of you talking?" Li Xin took the towel handed over by Song He, wiped it on his body, then put on a robe, and simply tied it, before he said with a smile: "Don't tell me, you three of you, the world's top wise men, still don't know how to solve this matter?" Pei Qing, you have stayed in that place in the Western Regions before, can you tell me, in this situation, is it suitable for my Datang to send troops? ”

"The old minister thinks that at this time, the Tang Dynasty should not send troops and sit back and watch the death of the Western Turks." Pei Shiju said without thinking about it: "Even if Jieli Khan conquers the Western Turks, he will suffer a lot of damage, and it is difficult to digest the gains of the war in a short time, and the minister thinks that Jieli Khan is different from Tongye Hu Khan, and his tooth tent will be in the east, and the west is relatively bad." He will not form an effective combat effectiveness, once a big war breaks out, as long as he orders 10,000 elites, he can sweep the entire western grassland, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of Jieli Khan will definitely be affected, how can he fight a decisive battle with us? ”

"Well, where is Kemin?" Li Xin nodded, Jieli Khan's attack on the Western Turks is not only to complete his great cause of unifying the grassland, but more importantly, to increase his strength, but if he wants to digest the Western Turks, I am afraid it is not a matter of one or two years, so he gives himself time, and the tooth tent is in the east, and the impact on the Western Turkic tribes will be much smaller, and there is an article to do.

"The minister also thinks that it is not appropriate to make a big move, and the court should focus on recuperation at this time." Du Ruhui also starred and said: "However, we can give some money, grain and grass to the Turks, of course, all this has a price, and we can exchange it for war horses from the grassland, whether it is Jieli Khan or the Western Turks!" As long as something comes out, we will give it to him. ”

"What does the general mean? Take the opportunity to seize the Western Regions? Li Xin pointed at Du Ruhui with a smile, and secretly laughed at the other party's treachery.

"Emperor Shengming, the last general thinks that this is the best time to seize the Western Regions, the Western Turks have no power to fight back, and the army will seize the Western Regions and strengthen the depth of our Tang Dynasty. The countries of the Western Regions have always been snakes and rats, which are very hateful, and at this time, if we seize the Western Regions, I am afraid that neither the Western Turks nor the Eastern Turks will dare to be our enemies. Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Yes, this is an opportunity." Li Xin couldn't help but nod when he heard this, at this time, whether it was the Western Turks or the Eastern Turks, they didn't dare to object to Li Xin's entry into the Western Regions.

"The general has thought about it, after the Turks occupy the Western Turks, how will the countries of the Western Regions face it?" Pei Shiju said with some dissatisfaction. In his heart, he sighed, the power of these generals is getting bigger and bigger, and among so many people who are feudal princes and county dukes, generals are the majority, this is not a phenomenon of one number.

"The countries of the Western Regions have changed their countries into prefectures and counties." Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Our army of the Tang Dynasty has the ability to protect every inch of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, if the next time it is to wait for Jieli Khan to annex the Western Turks, and then seize the Western Regions, I am afraid it will be impossible." Please decree the Emperor. ”

"Your Majesty, it will take some time to prepare the grain and grass in the treasury, and since Ashina has come, if the emperor wants to seize the Western Regions, I am afraid he will also need to discuss with the other party. In this way, there will be no conflict between the two sides. Pei Shiju glanced at Li Xin and sighed in his heart, he knew that Li Xin would definitely agree to Li Jing's suggestion, because Li Xin himself was a person who was unwilling to be lonely, and it was almost impossible for him to govern the world quietly.

"Your Majesty, the army is on the march, the minister thinks that there is no need for this, the Western Regions are vast, the army is on the march, the turnover of grain and grass is difficult, and it is not suitable for the army to go on the expedition, and the minister thinks that sending 10,000 troops is enough to solve the affairs of the Western Regions. What does the general think? Although Du Ruhui agreed to send troops, he thought that there should not be too many soldiers and horses, and 10,000 people was the bottom line of the Wude Palace.

"Well, Li Yuan will not watch us recover the Western Regions, once we send out a large army, not only will we consume a lot of grain and grass, but more importantly, the Central Plains will become empty, Li Yuan will take the opportunity to make a move, and the land of Shandong is also what we want to capture, even if we can't capture Shandong, Xuzhou and other places must be taken into our hands. It is not advisable to send too many large armies. Li Xin nodded.

"Then choose a general, and the people who can use the 10,000 army plus the 3,000 Shura army can go." Pei Shiju spoke.

"Who does the general think can be a general?" Li Xin said with a smile: "The general definitely can't go, the imperial court still needs a general, and if he goes to Xuzhou, he also needs a general, in case that guy Jieli suddenly attacks our Liangzhou, the general still has to go on the expedition." ”

"Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin can be generals." Li Jing said without thinking: "Qin Qiong is okay too." ”

"Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin are okay, but to conquer Xuzhou and Shandong, I want to use them, Qin Qiong's southern expedition has just returned, and the medicine king said that General Qin Qiong's body is relatively bad, and he is recuperating, and he can't send troops. Choose one more. ”

"That's Guo Xiaoke." Li Jing thought for a while and said: "This person has some skills in using soldiers, so it is better to let him go." ”

"Well, let him go." Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Not only Guo Xiaoke, but also other armies in the imperial court also need to prepare, we have to fight a quick battle and attack Xingyang." (To be continued......)
