Chapter XVI: Interrogation

"Wait!"

Seeing that the soldiers around him were about to move, Chen Jienan waved his hand, took out a token from his arms and said, "Li Jing, look at what this is?"

"Everybody stop!"

As soon as Li Jing saw the items in Chen Jienan's hand, his eyes immediately narrowed, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle's eye, and he hurriedly stopped the soldiers who went to arrest Chen Jienan.

"This, this is..."

Li Jing took the token in Chen Jienan's hand, looked at it carefully, and was shocked in his heart! This is really a tiger talisman! The style is exactly the same as his piece!

"Wait for me to verify..."

Li Jing hurriedly took out his own piece of tiger talisman and a pair in his hand!

"Click!"

The two tiger talismans fit together perfectly!

The Tiger Talisman turned out to be real!

Could it be that this young Taoist priest is really my Tang Dynasty National Teacher? But why haven't I heard any news at all? Well, it must have been sealed in the past few days, and the news has not yet reached the border pass!

"It turned out to be the national teacher!

Now that the identity of the other party has been confirmed, Li Jing also immediately greeted him and complimented him.

Although I don't know when the Tang Dynasty had a national teacher, Li Jing understands that none of the people who can become a national teacher in all dynasties are simple people! Even if he has no real power, he also has a transcendent status, and although he is a marshal of the Tang Dynasty and a prince of the country, there is no need to offend others.

"But what does Your Majesty mean by sending such a little Taoist priest to my border?"

Li Jing muttered to himself in a low voice, looked up and looked at Chen Jienan, puzzled.

"Poor Dao came this time on the orders of His Majesty to help the marshal exterminate the Turks!"

Chen Jienan smiled slightly and nodded.

"Huh?!"

Li Jing was a little surprised when he heard this!

You said that you were ordered by His Majesty to help me exterminate the Turks? Well, that's right, after all, you came with a tiger talisman, and as the opponent's national teacher, there is no need to lie to yourself.

But what's the use of you coming alone? What I need is reinforcements! I don't have enough troops, and I have to send someone to protect you when you come, alas!

Li Jing shook his head with a wry smile, but his expression was still smiling: "Oh, since that's the case, then thank you really for the national teacher!

"Don't worry, it's just Turkic, destroy them first, and then go back to Chang'an to have a good rest!"

Chen Jienan said with a smile, there was no wave in his eyes, as if the Turks were just like that, and it was not enough.

"Oh?"

Seeing Chen Jienan's calm appearance, Li Jing was a little puzzled.

Li Jing, who has read countless people, can naturally see that Chen Jienan's indifference is not pretending, but really very calm, and he doesn't take Turks in his eyes at all.

Now Li Jing is a little confused, the Turks have harmed the border for many years, but the Tang Dynasty is helpless about it, anyone who has a little insight will not underestimate the Turks, could it be that this national teacher is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?

It is absolutely impossible for a person who can entrust Li Shimin with the Tiger Fu and personally make him a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty! Even if he Li Jing does not believe Chen Jienan, he can still trust Li Shimin! With his experience working with Li Shimin for many years, he believes that Li Shimin will never be without a purpose.

In this case, doesn't it mean that this national teacher is confident and already has a solution to the Turks, so he doesn't take the Turks in his eyes?

Thinking of this, Li Jing's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Chen Jienan!

"Could it be that he's a top strategist?!"

Li Jingnao made up an answer that seemed to make sense, and saw Chen Jienan's weak appearance, he was definitely not practicing martial arts, he must be a pure civil servant!

A Wenchen is also a Taoist priest, and he was also named a national teacher! And the other party has won the trust of Li Shimin! Li Jing suddenly thought of Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and these characters, aren't they the same!

Now that the Turks are invading, I don't know what the national teacher has to do?!"

Li Jing's eyes were full of fire when he looked at Chen Jienan.

"I came here to exterminate the Turks, of course there is a way!" Chen Jienan smiled and said to Li Jing: "You call all the soldiers here! Let's go meet the Turks for a while!"

"But, but..."

Li Jing's face was a little hesitant, but he still said unhurriedly: "The national teacher doesn't know anything! The 200,000 border guards under my command are scattered in dozens of cities on the border to protect the people, and although I am a large camp of the Chinese army, there are only 50,000 soldiers!"

"Only 50,000 soldiers?"

Chen Jienan was stunned, the reason why he came in such a hurry was because he came one day late, and the Turks would harm many people, and secondly, because he heard Li Shimin say that there were 200,000 troops at the border, so he came in a hurry, after all, 200,000 people, even if one person contributed a little Honkai value, it would be 200,000 points!

Although Chen Jienan was slightly disappointed when he heard that there were only 50,000 soldiers at this moment, he quickly recovered.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat! 50,000 is not a lot! Isn't there still an army of 600,000 Turks! It adds up to a lot!

"50,000 soldiers are fine, take them with you, and we will attack the Turks!"

"Well, yes!"

Li Jing was a little hesitant, after all, in the battle, they relied on the towering city walls to resist the Turkic attacks again and again. In field battles outside the city, their infantry will never be a match for cavalry. But when he saw Chen Jienan's confident appearance, it didn't look like a fraud, and the other party was sent by Li Shimin to help him, so he didn't say much.

"Since that's the case, it's all up to the national teacher!"

Li Jing nodded, and immediately asked his men to inform the whole army to assemble, and they were going to take the initiative to attack the Turks.

Although Li Jing believed Chen Jienan, the soldiers below didn't know that when they learned that the higher authorities had ordered them to leave Yumen Pass and take the initiative to attack the Turks, there was an uproar!

In the eyes of these soldiers, this is a complete search for death!

Their Tang Army's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Turks, after all, they are cavalry, even if they are two against one, they may not be able to win, not to mention that this time the southern invasion is still the army of tigers and wolves personally led by the Turkic Jieli Khan!

"Marshal, no! If we take the initiative to attack, we are completely sending us to death!"

"That's right! That's right! You know, we rely on the strength of Yumen Pass and face the Turkic attack, and we are just barely undefeated! Now it is completely irrational to take the initiative to leave Yumen Pass to attack the Turks!"

The generals in the army immediately surrounded Li Jing and Chen Jienan and questioned them, and a few short-tempered generals even pointed at Chen Jienan's nose and scolded: "You little Taoist priest, we call you a national teacher to give you face, can you really treat yourself as a character? You told us to take the initiative to attack the Turks? Na Cheng, but you first make clear what you think, what is the plan! If you ask us to die for no reason, we won't do it!"
