Li Shimin slapped the table, stopped the arguing scene, glanced at the Manchu civil and military forces, and said with some excitement: "War, this time we want to fight, and we want to win a big victory, these Turks who want to fight will no longer dare to invade my Tang Dynasty!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stopped talking when he heard Li Shimin say this, and all he was thinking about was the affairs of his own family, and as for how to fight and how to divide it, it was the business of these generals.

Fang Xuanling also looked worried, although Datang is much stronger than ten years ago, there are still some dangers in really fighting against the Turks, especially the place where the war takes place is most likely the border of Datang, and factors such as climate, people, and so on must be taken into account.

The Turks are brave and good at fighting, and they have become accustomed to the temperature and climate of the border, which is not a good thing for the Tang officers and soldiers who are fighting away, although there are also many heroes who have been guarding the border, but those are only a few, and the real combat effectiveness is still the government soldiers of various states, which need to be mobilized.

Fang Xuanling was still thinking carefully, but Cheng Yanjin took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister of this battle is the best to do, who doesn't know that I am the first fierce general of our Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Shimin almost didn't squirt out the tea soup he was drinking when he heard this, but fortunately he couldn't help it, but he still coughed a few times, and the eunuch on the side wanted to go over to see Li Shimin's situation, but was stopped by Li Shimin, Li Shimin pointed to Cheng Yanjin and said: "Let's discuss this matter again, first listen to the thoughts of the military department!" ”

Li Tao heard Li Shimin's words and was not ambiguous, he was brave and good at fighting, he was not used to the Turks on weekdays, this matter Datang is quite strong and strong, how can he eat this secret loss, "Emperor Qiqi, since we have decided to fight, then we must set the charter as soon as possible, who will go out, who will be the commander, the soldiers are fast, and the ministers ask for orders to lead the troops to the battle!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the old Li Tao, and saw that he also looked unconvinced, although he was very satisfied with his desire to lead the troops to the battle, but this matter could not let him go, first, the tragedy of this battle was predictable, and this battle would definitely be rested until death. The second is that at this time, the military generals of the Tang Dynasty are full of talents, since there are so many young people who want to express themselves, why let an old man fight!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin also nodded and said: "Aiqing, please get up, Aiqing is very happy to have this intention, but Aiqing is old, and there are countless generals of the younger generation of my Datang Dynasty, why let Aiqing go out in person, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at me No one in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Cheng Yanjin also smiled on the side: "That's right, let me lead the troops there, watch my three-plate axe beat these miscellaneous farts and pee!" ”

Wei Chigong on the side also came over and said: "There are also Weichen, how can I be missing such a thing as fighting the Turks!" ”

Hou Junji also smiled on the side: "The two generals should rest in Chang'an, at the end of this battle, the generals are willing to lead troops there, and within a month, the Turks will not dare to step into the territory of my Tang Dynasty again!" ”

Li Shimin looked at his favorite general with great satisfaction, and he was also very confident that he could win this war, but something unexpected happened, and Li Chengqian came out to join in the fun again!

I saw Li Chengqian's anxious look, looked at Li Shimin and said: "Father, my son is willing to be the commander, personally conquer the Turks, and hope that my father will be perfect!" ”

At this time and that time, the words between father and son can be taken seriously or as child's play, but the words above this court are different, so many people are watching, if they take his words as child's play, it will not be a good thing for Li Chengqian to succeed to the throne in the future.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with an iron face, quite displeased, and ignored him and looked at Li Tao and said: "British duke, what do you think about the prince's personal conquest!" ”

Li Tao glanced at Li Shimin's face, and after understanding Li Shimin's meaning, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the ministers think it's inappropriate, although I have elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty and strong generals will win this battle, why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compete with these young soldiers!" ”

Li Tao said this to give Li Shimin a face, so that Li Chengqian's flash of inspiration turned into a joke, and everyone would not take it seriously, so although it seems that Li Chengqian is a little child's play, but after all, life is more important.

But Li Chengqian still didn't give up, bent down and said something, Li Shimin saw this and immediately said: "I thought that Cheng Aiqing and Hou Aiqing each brought a soldier to go, and the two of them could take the soldiers of various state capitals along the road with military talismans and arrive at the front line as quickly as possible, what do you think!" ”

Everyone knew that Li Shimin didn't want Li Chengqian to go out, so naturally he followed him and said: "The minister thinks it's so good!" ”

Other generals who were not named also looked at Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji, because their own soldiers were most likely to be assigned to them, although not only these two generals went to fight, the rest of the generals also had their own affairs, the war time was not one general to fight, and the rest of the people rested at home, and those who were not good enough would be automatically divided into subordinates, and Chang'an would also keep a part of the soldiers ready to meet emergencies at any time.

Li Shimin discussed the details of the countermeasures with the generals, but in the end it was decided to let Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji be the vanguard generals, and Li Tao would not go to the front line as the commander-in-chief, and would transfer troops and dispatch generals in the next level to arrange things.

Seeing that things had been arranged, and even Fang Xuanling went to draft the paperwork and prepare food, Li Chengqian pulled Li Tao a little anxiously and said: "British duke, I left Chang'an yesterday, saying that I was going to Yizhou to check my life experience, what do you say!" ”

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, he naturally didn't know that he had secretly left Chang'an, and it was at this time, but he thought about it and thought of Xie Ziwen again, and whispered to Li Chengqian: "It should be okay, with Xie Ziwen here, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to save their lives!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and could only do this, looked at Li Tao and said, "Well, I also sent ten elite soldiers to protect him, he should be fine!" ”

Li Tao originally thought it was a good thing when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he found that something was wrong, and he hurriedly looked at Li Chengqian on the side and said: "Your Highness, you have sent the wrong ten people, not to mention the goal of a dozen people and a group, if the Turks see more than a dozen strong men, they will definitely start at the first time, and if they are two people, they may let them go!" ”

At this time, Li Chengqian thought of Xiangxin and his party were walking in the mountains on horseback, and suddenly a group of Turks with scimitars slashed at Xiangxin, and Li Chengqian thought that his sister died in front of him like that, so suddenly in front of him.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian finally couldn't help it, looked at the towering Li Shimin and said: "Father, my son is willing to go to the front line in person, and I hope that my father will be perfect!" ”

Li Shimin's face turned unsightly, and Hou Junji on the side had already sensed the emperor's thoughts, and immediately came to Li Chengqian's side and said: "It is a good thing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the soldiers, but it is really inconvenient for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally conquer, think about your legs, if you really go to the front line and encounter a surprise attack by the Turks, we will also draw troops to protect you, you still stay in Chang'an City!" ”

Hou Junji thought that he was saying this in Li Shimin's heart, but he didn't expect it to be said in Li Shimin's sore spot, and Li Shimin's face became more and more pale.

In fact, Li Shimin thought that nothing happened when Li Chengqian first got sick, but after this situation lasted for two or three years, Li Shimin completely gave up Li Chengqian's heart that his feet could recover.

Hou Junji triumphantly waited for Li Shimin's praise, but heard Li Tao on the side say: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heart to go on the expedition, you might as well go and take a look, the prince has the government soldiers by his side, and he doesn't go to fight with the frontal troops, but it's okay to just go and see the scene of the war!" ”

Li Tao's abnormality made Li Shimin smell a trace of unusualness, and looked at Li Tao with a little question, wanting to get an answer from his eyes, but Li Tao disappointed him, as if he didn't see Li Shimin's eyes, Li Tao continued: "The combat effectiveness of the prince's palace soldiers is obvious to all, if it is just to protect His Royal Highness the prince, it shouldn't be a problem, and it won't waste the main force, what do you think!" ”
