Chapter XXXVII: The Crusade against the Turks Make a plan

Everyone came to the outside of the Zichen Palace, waiting for Li Shimin's communication. In the face of Li Nuoheng, several princes showed great appreciation for Zhang's military ability. They all said that they would divide Zhang's team into their own troops in this operation.

"What are you talking about? I listened energetically in the house, I heard that last night you veterans let the family make a splash on the sand table, and went to someone's mansion early this morning to arrest people to teach you a lesson? Li Shimin came out of the Zichen Hall with a smile, it seemed that he had just reviewed the music from the place, and his face still had the haggard feeling of last night's hangover.

"Your Majesty, compared with the military talent of this General Zhang and his ministers, that is the difference between the stars and the Haoyue, it is simply Han Xin alive and Sun Wu reborn." Li Jing said with admiration.

"Hahaha, I already knew his ability, yesterday I just wanted to make you ugly, so I can know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. In the future, we can make more progress together with the military. Let's go into the temple and say, I've eased enough. After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone entered the Zichen Hall together and sat down in order.

"Fifth brother, what are your good ideas about this attack on the Turks?" Li Shimin asked Li Nuoheng.

"Second brother, after all, I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know much about the distribution and movement of the Turks' forces. You discuss first, I'll listen to the side, and when you're done, I'll make additional proposals. Li Nuoheng responded.

Li Nuoheng is not hiding clumsy, after all, his current identity is the king of Zhentang, who can do anything to him except Li Shimin. Before coming to the palace in the morning, Li Nuoheng asked Xuanjia of the Tianzi Department, who was in charge of guarding at the gate, to inform the camp, and asked Xuanhuang and Xuanzhong to immediately sort out the information that had recently been fed back to the Turkic side and send it to the palace. Li Nuoheng is waiting for this Turkic movement report.

"Okay, then let's talk about it first, just as the king of Chu said last night. This morning, I have received urgent reports of military intelligence from Suzhou and Ganzhou, and the Turks really can't bear it anymore. They sent Yarkin and Ashnadur into the west of the river. Zhang Shigui and Zhang Baoxiang are doing their best to stop the Turkic cavalry, and I have already sent Xuanjia to support, and it is estimated that there will be news back this evening. This act of the Turks has seriously broken the original covenant signed on the banks of Weishui, so it is only right that we sent troops to attack! ”

"The ministers are willing to be the vanguard and crusade against the unrighteous Turks for Your Majesty!" Several of the princes present stood up and said loudly.

"Good! As the so-called teacher is famous, here's a piece of music for you to see. Then a eunuch handed a piece of music to Li Nuoheng and asked them to circulate it.

Li Nuoheng could think of the source of this piece with his toes, it was Zhang Gongjin who played Li Shimin back then, and listed six crimes to crusade against **. Li Shimin made up his mind and prepared to send troops. Li Nuoheng can memorize these six crimes.

"Jieli Khan was extravagant and brutal, killing the loyal and good, and being close to the traitor, this is one of them; Xue Yantuo and other tribes have defected, this is the second; Tuli, Tuo, and Desire Valley are all offended by Jieli, and there is no place to be ashamed, which is the third; The northern part of the country experienced frost and drought, and there was a shortage of food, and fourth; Jieli alienated the clansmen, entrusted with heavy responsibilities to foreign tribes, the Hu people were capricious, and once the Tang army arrived, there would inevitably be internal chaos, which was the fifth; The Han people went to the north to avoid chaos in the early years, and at this time there were more people, and recently I heard that they gathered arms, occupied dangerous places, and sent a large army out of the fortress, so they naturally responded internally. ”

After reading this recital, everyone cursed with righteous indignation for the hatefulness of this Jieli, and they were eager to go into battle to break the Turks.

Listening to everyone's scolding, Li Shimin's anger couldn't be controlled: "Come on, let Zhongshu Province send someone, I can't wait and don't want to wait." Draft the edict now! Li Shimin saw that everyone's emotions had been mobilized, so he asked Fang Du and Wei Zheng and others to come and prepare to issue an order.

In a short time, there were already many people in the Zichen Palace, and now the main decision-makers of Datang are basically here. Li Shimin saw that everyone had arrived, so he decided to issue an edict.

"The Turks broke the covenant and launched an attack on the land west of our river, and treated such unrighteous ministers, not at this time, but when?"

"Tell me the will! In the imperial decree, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, was the head of the march on Dingxiang Road, and Zhang Gongjin was the deputy commander, and the two led the Chinese army to make offensive decisions; The governor of the prefecture, the British Duke Xu Shixian, was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road, and the main force led by the East Road to directly attack the hinterland, and the Huazhou Thorn Shi Huo Guogong Chai Shao was the head of the Jinhe Road march, advancing along the Yellow River on the West Road, and cooperating with Li Jing and Xu Shiyun. Li Daozong, the king of Chengjun and the king of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the head of the Datong Dao march, and Zhang Baoxiang was the deputy head of the march, and advanced from Lingzhou to the northwest. Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, was the head of the march of Heng'an Road, guarding the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward. Xue Wanshu, the governor of Lingzhou, was the head of the march of Changwudao, and used the northeast to attack the rear of the Turks and monitor the Turkic Khan. The army of more than 100,000 people was subjected to Li Jingjie's degree, and counterattacked the Turks in six ways! ”

"Wait for the order! Definitely live up to the emperor's grace and kill the enemy who comes to attack! The general who received the order knelt on one knee and said loudly.

At the same time, Zhang Yulou, under the command of King Zhentang, commanded Xuanjia, who was not subject to moderation and determined the direction of attack by himself. The garrison of Weize Pass set off except for the necessary stay and joined up with Xuanjia. It was led by Li Zhiyun, the king of Zhentang. The Sixth Route Army must cooperate with the action of the King of Tang when necessary, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Brother commands! We will live up to the emperor's favor and destroy the Turks! Raise the prestige of our country! ”

"Exterminate the Turks! Raise the prestige of our country! All the people in the temple said in unison.

Everyone retired, and each returned to his house to prepare for the expedition. With the issuance of Li Shimin's order, one by one the edicts were sent. It was quickly delivered to the homes of the few people who had just been appointed. Xuanjia also received the notification. So the five captains of Xuanjia went to Li Nuoheng's mansion with the recent Turkic movements according to Li Nuoheng's previous instructions.

"General, we have received a decree from His Majesty, saying that Instructor Zhang will lead the Xuanjia on his behalf. Liu Yu, the captain of Xuanjia, came to report with the commanders of the four Xuanjia troops. And then here's the recent movement of the Turks you want. Liu Yu, the captain of Xuanjia, said.

"Well, that's right, your commander this time is Team Zhang. I still have to wait for Qin Ying and Feifeng. However, the specific operational orders of your troops were issued by me. Now, I'm going to give you a couple of tough tasks! On the way back, Team Zhang told Li Nuoheng about this matter, he can charge into battle, and it is better for Li Nuoheng to arrange the troops. After all, Li Nuoheng still has a lot more ghost ideas than Team Zhang
