Chapter Seventy-Three: An Urgent Report Arrives
"Urgent, urgent! Eight hundred miles to expedite the military intelligence ......"
A messenger with only three people and tattered armor and blood rushed into Chang'an City, and this military report also made the atmosphere in Chang'an extremely tense in an instant.
The people of Chang'an City talked a lot, and the messenger who usually reported urgently for eight hundred miles, but he was majestic, and he had never seen such embarrassment, even if it was wartime, even if the front line was unfavorable, at least the messenger was bright, right? Nothing will happen, will it......
Something happened, and it was a big deal.
Li Er directly opened the palace door to summon the messenger, thinking that there was a thief who intercepted the messenger halfway, but he didn't expect the result of asking was even worse.
"How can you be so embarrassed? Could it be that someone in my Datang territory dares to do something to the imperial court messenger? Gao Neishou took the initiative to ask.
The messenger said sadly: "It's not my Tang people's hand, it's that on our way to deliver the letter, we were surrounded and intercepted by the Turkic cavalry, and the hundred-man team that escorted the last general along the way is now left with my two brothers, and the rest of the brothers are all sacrificed." ”
What?
"How can there be a Turkic army inside the Tang Dynasty? Didn't the military newspaper say a few days ago that they were all blocked out of Jinyang City? Li Er exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, the 40,000 Turkic army opened the frontline battlefield under the guise of going around and went straight to Chang'an to kill! Li Dashuai was entangled by the Turkic Jie's use of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses and couldn't get out, and Chang'an was in danger of Your Majesty! ”
Bang! Li Er took the case, "Bring the military newspaper!" ”
He didn't have the heart to listen to the other party's explanation, and directly asked for the military report, he knew that Li Jing had to give an explanation if there was such a mistake.
"Your Majesty, they ran all the way, they were chased and killed, they were wounded and hungry, and all three of them passed out." The chamberlain Lao Gao Yu reported.
Li Er sighed and said: "Send it to the Tai Hospital, let the imperial doctor carefully diagnose and treat it, it is all for my Datang birth and death, I can't chill the hearts of the soldiers, wait for them to wake up, ask about the situation, these three people, double the reward, escort the victims, triple the pension." ”
"Your Majesty! The old slave will do it. ”
In the Taiji Palace, only Li Er was left reading the military newspaper, and the more he looked at him, the more he frowned, the same as Li Jing's reaction, Li Er was also puzzled, what kind of master was behind his back?
Could it be that God is against me? Just got a goro, and in the blink of an eye, does the opponent have a master to help?
"Someone is coming, quickly pass on the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui!"
Soon the three of them came together, because this kind of emergency military situation is not to report merit, then something must have happened, and the three of them have been on standby for a long time, waiting for the summons.
After discussing with the three top thinkers, Li Er and the others unanimously agreed with Li Jing and Li Ji on the front line, that is, there must be internal responses in Chang'an City, otherwise it would be a fool's dream to break the city with the 40,000 lonely troops of the Turkic cold alone.
In the end, Li Eryi made the final decision, "Auxiliary machine, Xuan Ling, you two are responsible for secretly investigating the people who collaborated with the enemy, at special moments, I would rather catch mistakes than let go, and allow you the right to make decisions on the spot." Keming (Du Ruhui's word), Chang'an city defense should be deployed in logistics, it will be handed over to you, now there are no generals available in the city, the 10,000 troops defending the city can only rely on the veteran of Huai'an Wang Uncle Li Shentong. ”
Du Ruhui asked: "Your Majesty, when this is an emergency, do you ask for help from the rear?" Luoyang Qu Tutong old general, should be able to transfer reinforcements within five days. ”
"Don't worry, it's not yet time for the need to raise troops from all over the country, let's go and get busy, Rong Zhen also thinks about it, when the city is broken, all the people in Chang'an City are soldiers, this Tang Dynasty can't die!" Li Er refused.
Outside the tavern, the guard general Li Junxian received an order, and now that Chang'an is short of generals, Li Junxian's troops will be transferred back to the palace.
When he resigned, Li Junxian gave his name to the situation, and the old Li Yuan saw the key at a glance, waved Li Junxian away, and just clicked and fiddled with the abacus beads, in fact, his brain was running at a high speed, thinking about how to break the enemy.
"In order to resist the 200,000 invading enemies of the Turks, Datang almost did his best to take out all the money he had saved in the past few years of recuperation. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, he wouldn't have transferred Li Junxian's fifty people. Li Yuan said with emotion.
Li Yuanying whispered: "General Li Junxian is said to be very brave in battle, maybe he is using him." ”
Li Yuan shook his head, "Although Jun Xian is a good general, after all, he is young, brave in battle, and can be the vanguard of small battles, but he is embarrassed by this big task, he has no experience in leading more than 10,000 troops, and he can't carry the banner." ”
At this time, Fang Yiai next to him felt that someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, it was Master Li Yuanying, Fang Yiai was a little frightened and said: "Master, what do you think the disciple does?" I, I haven't been on the battlefield, and Master Yuwen said that my sword skills are not yet complete. ”
"Tsk, danger and opportunity often coexist, this time for ordinary people, and even for Chang'an City, it is dangerous, but for heroes and heroes, it is a good opportunity to make contributions, and it is impossible to meet the merits of the king of diligence, good apprentice, do you really not think about it?" Li Yuanying said with a smile, that expression was like a bad uncle who deceived the little girl.
Here, Yuwen Chengdu said angrily: "Hey, if you train an apprentice, you will train an apprentice, what are you saying to me?" Talk to Fang Er! I'm not your apprentice, so I take advantage of Lao Tzu. And don't fight Lao Tzu's idea, I reached the pinnacle of military generals many years ago, and I have long been tired of making meritorious contributions. Besides, I'm the opponent of you Li Tang, it's good if you don't fall into the ground, do you still want me to help you fight? ”
Li Yuanying smiled: "Hehe, you are alert enough." It's okay, if you don't want to take the initiative, then be passive, you said that you are guarding Doudou, I will let Doudou go, you have to protect her safety, right? ”
"Li Yuanying, you are so shameless...... Yuwen Chengdu scolded hatefully.
Xiao Doudou asked like a baby, "Daddy, are you going to fight?" Can I fight? ”
Looking gearing up, Li Yuanying glared at her fiercely, and the little guy immediately turned off the engine and sat back obediently.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuanying looked at Yuwen Chengdu with an extremely serious expression and said: "I won't mention the change of the general trend of the dynasty in the world, you should be able to see clearly, now Datang is the desire of the people, so you will not really think about the previous dynasty, let alone go against Datang."
So in that case, look at the present, eat me and live mine, we are a family, right? I am the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, then you are the family of the King of Qin, and the Tang Dynasty is also your family, this is the battle to protect the family and defend the country, everyone is responsible, can you watch the alien race of the dog day trample on your homeland? ”
"You, you don't button your hat......" Yuwen Chengdu's tone was slightly weaker.
Li Yuanying continued: "Whether you are the former Sui or the current Tang Dynasty, you are all Han Chinese, no matter how confused you are, I firmly believe that in your heart, Tang and Wei are clearly distinguished, and the Turks are feuding with us!" I, Li Yuanying, don't know martial arts, otherwise I would have to beg you in such a low voice? I'm the first to rush up and them! ”
The bereaved love next to her was enthusiastically boiled by Master's words, and shouted excitedly: "Master, whether to go or not, the disciple is willing to follow Master forever and go to kill the enemy and defend the homeland!" ”
Xiao Doudou tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and said aggrievedly: "Daddy, I'm going too." ”
Old Li Yuan looked at it and coughed lightly, "Good Goro, go for your father, well, go, go and cheer for you......"
Yes, you Yuwen Chengdu is the only one left, and everyone looks at him.
After struggling for a long time, Yuwen Chengdu gritted his teeth and said: "I can go, I have to promise two conditions!" ”
