Chapter 14: The Turks Invade
What national teacher?!
Where did I come from Datang?!
Whether it was Princess Gaoyang or his personal eunuch, they were all confused when they heard Chen Yanjin's words.
"Ahh
"The National Teacher is a true immortal! Not only can he call the wind and rain, but it is said that in two days, he will summon an immortal palace out of thin air in Zhongnan Mountain!"
"I'm so lucky to be able to see the national teacher so closely in my lifetime!"
After Chen Biting Jin revealed his identity, the surrounding people were in an uproar!
At this time, they also understood why Chen Jienan was so arrogant in the face of Princess Gaoyang just now, but he was an immortal with the status of Li Shimin's own title and Li Shimin!
"Meet the National Teacher!"
"Meet the National Teacher!"
"Meet the National Teacher!"
Whoa!
The countless onlookers around immediately fell to their knees! This has nothing to do with any status or status, just because Chen Jienan is a true immortal in the world! This is completely a kind of human being's heartfelt awe of mysterious and unpredictable things!
"This, this..."
Princess Gaoyang covered her small mouth, her face turned pale with fright, and she was speechless for a long time.
Although she is an unfavored princess, it does not mean that she is stupid, looking at the reactions of the people around her, although she does not know when Datang has a national teacher, but she understands that this young Taoist priest in front of her who is dressed in ordinary clothes is definitely not someone she can afford to offend!
Putting aside the awe-inspiring appearance of the surrounding people for the time being, Cheng Yanjin saluted the young man as soon as he came up just now, and said goodbye! What does this mean? This means that the status of this young Taoist priest is higher than that of Cheng Yanjin!
Who is Cheng Biting Jin? This is the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, a first-class prince! A person who treats Chen Biting Jin so cautiously, how can she, an unfavored princess of Gaoyang, afford to offend?
"It's over, it's over, it's doomed! What did I just do!"
Princess Gaoyang's heart suddenly cooled, and the expression on her face was more ugly than crying!
Even Chen Bites Jin has to be treated carefully, but he said that in Chang'an City, he has a hundred ways to make the other party unable to live?!
Finished!
"Country, country, national teacher, I was wrong, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, please let me go, I won't dare next time!"
Princess Gaoyang knelt down with a puff, her delicate face full of tears.
"Get out of here!"
Chen Jienan shook his head and scolded the person directly, after all, he still can't afford to deal with a woman, not to mention that the other party is Li Shimin's daughter, and he has already apologized, so let's expose it for the time being.
"Haha, Master Guoshi, don't be angry!"
Chen Yanjin saw Princess Gaoyang leaving, and Chen Jienan was not angry, so he gaged: "Master Guoshi, I walked too fast towards you just now, Your Majesty is asking me to look for you everywhere!"
"Looking for me, what's the matter?"
Chen Jienan frowned.
"Well, it's hard to say, but in short, you'll know when you go. Chen Yanjin shook his head and said.
"Well, since that's the case, then let's go quickly!" Chen Jienan nodded, and left with Cheng Yanjin.
......
In the Shang study room, there were a few people standing sparsely, if there was an official who had been to the court here, he would definitely be surprised!
These people are all important ministers of the court! Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Wei Chigong, Xu Shiji, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang... No matter which of these characters is put outside, they are all stamped, and the whole Datang will tremble!
And the one who seems to be in the middle of this group of important ministers and stars is the Tang Emperor Li Shimin!
However, at this moment, this group of several powerful figures who control Datang are all gathered together with sad faces, with a melancholy face.
"This Turkic Jieli Khan is really too deceitful!"
Li Shimin's face was full of anger, he was furious, slammed the table, and threw the 800 li urgent battle report in his hand on it.
The battle report is very short, only a few sentences, and it is written that the Turkic Jieli Khan suddenly violated the Weishui Alliance, went south with illness, and has invaded three cities in the Tang Dynasty one after another!
"It's really hateful! The last time in the Weishui Alliance, he Jieli Khan emptied almost the entire treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and said that he would not offend each other with the Tang Dynasty within 20 years, how long has it been? He actually led his troops south!
The more Li Shimin spoke, the more angry he became, and his momentum was domineering, even the ministers bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look directly!
At this time, Li Shimin was angry, who dared to touch the tiger's buttocks!
"This Li Jing is the same, with 200,000 border guards in his hands, are they all eating dry food? But in just two days, the Turks broke through three cities in a row, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed, wounded and captive!"
As soon as he thought of the various tragic images of the border passes written in the war report, Li Shimin was so angry that his teeth itched!
"Your Majesty is angry!"
Seeing that Li Shimin's emotions were about to lose control, Wei Zheng had no choice but to step forward and persuade him: "For today's plan, we still have to think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy! Otherwise, every time I let those Turks stay at the border for one more day, I don't know how many people will die in the Tang Dynasty!"
"But what can I do! Datang has continued to suffer a great drought this year, and there is already an uproar in various places, if we recruit troops from the common people again, I am afraid that I don't have to wait for those Turks, and I, Datang itself, will collapse from the inside first!" Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile, quite self-deprecating, "As for what to say about letting Li Jing send border guards to solve the problem? Don't be kidding! He only has 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and Jieli Khan has brought more than 600,000 Turkic iron cavalry with him when he goes south this time!"
Li Shimin looked helpless, as a general-born emperor immediately, he naturally knew a lot about marching and fighting, so he understood that it was not easy for Li Jing to control the loss of the border pass to only three cities!
However, he and several ministers present understood this problem, but those ordinary people did not understand it! They only knew that the Tang border guards had broken through the defense line by the Turks, and the people of the three cities had been slaughtered!
Datang must win a battle in order to block the world's Youyou!
And the key now is that Datang simply can't recruit so many soldiers! Because of the continuous drought, the common people have complained about Datang, although Chen Jienan's prayer for rain has alleviated a certain trend, but after all, the whole Datang is still stormy, if the army is recruited again, I am afraid that there will definitely be a large number of people who want to rise up.
"For today's plan, we can only see if there is a way for the national teacher!"
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that when the national disaster was at hand, a large number of important ministers would gather together, and they would be helpless not to say anything, and they still pinned their hopes on the ethereal immortals. I don't know if I'm going to say they're pathetic or cute.
I only hope that the national teacher's cultivation will be monstrous, and he will be able to kill the arrogance of the Turks fiercely.
