When night fell, Xu Dong also found a suitable place to camp, Xiangxin and others roasted the fire and listened to the sound of strange animals, but fortunately, there were many people, several people raised several fires, and these beasts did not dare to approach, Xiangxin was eating roasted steamed buns at this time, and the seasoning prepared in advance was sprinkled on the steamed bread slices to exude an attractive aroma.

The people of the tenth team also roasted steamed bread slices in the same way, after all, except for Xie Ziwen, no one else had the opportunity to eat the steamed bread baked by themselves.

Xu Dong looked at the steamed bread slices in his hand and only felt that this steamed bun, which was tasteless on weekdays just for a full stomach, had become so attractive at this time, as if it was the most delicious food in the world!

Satisfying was lying on the ground while eating steamed bread slices, seeing something flying in the sky, Xiangxin hurriedly stood up and pointed to the sky and said, "What do you think is that?" It can't be a bat! ”

Xie Ziwen tore the steamed bread slices into small pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, while looking at the sky and said, "Pigeon." ”

Satisfied with his composure, looking at the black shadow that was fading away, he also sighed a little: "I knew I would have let you catch it, the roast pigeon is so delicious!" ”

Xie Ziwen was a little sluggish, although he stretched out his hand, it was also a little difficult to fly so high to catch pigeons with his light skills, it was still simple to cut people on the ground, and there was no problem in killing 10,000 people with one big move.

Xie Ziwen himself was still thinking about the scene of his sword breaking the mountain in his mind, but he sighed on the side: "This steamed bun is too boring to eat, Brother Xie should go and hunt some pheasants and hares!" ”

Xie Ziwen was also a little greedy when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, Xie Ziwen shook his head and said: "Forget it, you can get to Runzhou in two or three days, and if you don't have anything to eat at that time, it's better to bear with it!" ”

Xie Ziwen didn't want to be satisfied and didn't want to embarrass him, but the ten teams on the side muttered something in a low voice, and walked behind a few people, and a few people said attentively, and they didn't even know that they were satisfied behind them.

Chengxin stomped his feet and scared several people with a roar, and the steamed buns fell into the fire.

Seeing that a few people came back to their senses, he asked, "What did you guys say?" Muttering and muttering don't want good things! ”

The people of the tenth team scratched their heads when they heard the satisfactory question: "We are talking about the group of pigeons that passed by just now, and the sound seems to be the carrier pigeons of our Datang pigeon station!" ”

The brother on the side picked up the steamed bun slices in the fire, swept the wood ash on it and said: "I said that the pigeon cries are the same, they have to say that there is a difference, anyway, I didn't hear it!" ”

Satisfying Xin was also quite interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Captain Ten, tell me, why is it our carrier pigeon!" ”

The tenth captain also immediately said: "That's the case, after we moved to General Cheng's barracks, we immediately started a new training, including the use of carrier pigeons, only the captains of each team can learn, and it's normal for brothers not to know!" ”

Satisfied that they hadn't been there since they moved to the side of Cheng Biting Jin's barracks, and they sighed when they heard this, "Sure enough, General Cheng also has something, but this carrier pigeon is nothing, after all, fly a book, who doesn't have a few pigeons!" ”

Captain Ten looked at the satisfied eyes as if he was mentally retarded, and after thinking twice, he said: "Lord Qiyu, there are actually very few carrier pigeons, if there is no important and urgent matter, the carrier pigeon will not be allowed to transmit the message, and look at the scale just now is not a few carrier pigeons, they are almost twenty, there must be something big!" ”

Naturally, he didn't know the preciousness of carrier pigeons, and when he heard this, he patted his thigh with some pity and said: "I would have cut one off if I knew it, and I could eat meat and know what happened!" ”

Captain Ten only felt that his face was full of black lines, and he looked at it helplessly and said: "There are many natural enemies of carrier pigeons, and many carnivorous birds can catch it, and generally there are two or three of them, because there will be cavalry on land during the less urgent period, and now these twenty carrier pigeons are flying together, and things are not good!" ”

Satisfying not feeling the nervousness of Captain Ten, he returned to his place and lay down on his burden and slowly fell asleep.

A few fires were like altars, warming up the windless woods, but a chill hit Chang'an City.

Sooner or later, the carrier pigeon finally arrived in Chang'an, at this time the sky has been cloudy, the soldiers of the carrier pigeon station cracked the letter at the first time they saw the carrier pigeon, only to see that the letter was impressively written, "The Turks are coming, the border is urgent!" ”

Naturally, this news reached Li Shimin's hands for the first time, and Li Shimin, who was still asleep, also felt ridiculous, did the Turks still think that Datang was Datang ten years ago? He dared to attack, and ordered his subordinates to summon the military generals and Wenchen, and send troops out as soon as possible.

The first one to arrive was naturally Li Chengqian, the East Palace was already in the palace, Li Chengqian walked to Li Shimin's side a little anxiously, "Father, I heard that the Turkic army is pressing the border, this matter is true!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was a little anxious, nodded and said: "Just now the carrier pigeon sent a letter saying that the Turks had arrived at the border pass, but what I couldn't figure out was why the post station in Yizhou sent a letter, why was there no letter from Ganzhou before Yizhou, could it have been captured?" (The plot requires, the geographical location does not match the reality.) ）

Li Chengqian heard the word Yizhou and immediately thought of satisfaction, the destination of this trip is a small village under Yizhou, at this time heard that the Turks arrived in Yizhou, Li Chengqian did not have time to think about it and hurriedly said: "Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to go!" ”

Li Shimin was also stunned when he heard Lao Chen's words, slapped the table and said: "Nonsense, when is it your turn to lead the troops!" ”

Li Chengqian wanted to say something, but he heard a familiar and rough voice behind him, "The emperor is right, the old minister is not dead yet, why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take it personally!" ”

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw that the person who trusted the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin strode forward and knelt down and said: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, enlighten the emperor, the minister Cheng Yanjin is willing to lead the troops to meet the battle!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin below and said: "Aiqing, please get up, you are on duty today, let's wait for them to arrive!" ”

It didn't take long for Li Tao, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chigong and other ministers to arrive in the palace for the first time.

The left and right servants were naturally the first to speak, and Fang Xuanling said for the first time: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu was assassinated before, and there are already witnesses who say that it was done by the Turks, although there is no evidence but there is no wind and no waves, and the minister thinks that these two things may be related!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also said on the side: "At this time, we still need to stabilize them, although I don't know why the Turks suddenly attacked, but for other considerations, it is really the best strategy to start a war with the Turks at this time, if it is possible to meet their requirements, it is better not to fight!" ”

Hou Junji snorted coldly when he heard this, and said with a bit of pride: "Lord Eldest Sun's words are wrong, ten years ago, we were beaten to the door by the Turks and could only suffer losses and humiliation, but this does not mean that we can only be beaten forever, these Turks are no more than Erer in my opinion, the emperor, the minister is willing to lead the troops to go!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Hou Junji was unscrupulous with his own merits, and Hou Junji had always been a member of the prince's faction, although he had never had any intimate contact with Li Chengqian, but whenever someone attacked the prince, Hou Junji always stood up for him as soon as possible, but he himself said that he only obeyed the emperor's orders and would not participate in party struggles.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't look at Hou Junji, and arched his hand and said: "The emperor naturally has some considerations!" ”

Li Shimin naturally knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was talking about the expedition to Goryeo, and what Emperor Yang of Sui did not do, Li Shimin naturally wanted to do it, and he brought potatoes and sweet potatoes to ensure the sufficiency of food, as well as advanced training methods, which also made Li Shimin full of confidence in the expedition to Goryeo.

But at this time, the Turks suddenly attacked, so Li Shimin had to think more, whether to fight the Turks or Goryeo first, the troubles of the Turks are imminent, and the period of Goryeo is also on the agenda, this may be a song of multiple choices, or maybe there is already an answer.

Thinking of Concubine Yang's tears, as well as the unsolved murderer, it seems that the Turkic attack is not a bad thing, at least no matter what he does to them at this time, no one will say that Datang is not!
