Chapter 495: Who Goes North?

"How did the battle go like this? At the beginning, it was so smooth, I thought we could go all the way, we just need to wait and hear the victory, and then the two armies will be victorious, and when we return to the court after victory, see what else those civil officials have to say. ”

Su Dingfang came to Li Xiang's tent early in the morning, looking at the court mail sent by the imperial court, I really don't know what to say, you must know that the information they received is actually outdated, sent from the front line to Chang'an, it will take a month to come here from Chang'an, it will take another month, what we know is actually the situation two months ago.

"Do you think all the battles are so smooth? Without that kind of thing, Datang can have its current achievements, I don't know how many people have died, and it is normal for some crises to occur in wars, and only our Highness will not appear. ”

Niu Jinda sighed and said, he also wanted to quickly lead the troops to the grassland to help His Royal Highness King Wu, but the problem is that their recital has been sent for two months, and the court has not let go, even if they have two heads, they dare not lead the troops to set off privately.

Now the imperial court has also sent a new batch of gunpowder, but after the gunpowder arrived on the grassland, it was destroyed by the Turkic tribesmen, who did not know how to use the gunpowder, so they simply threw it into the river.

His Royal Highness King Wu is now the enemy of his father's generation, and he has to face both the attack of Xue Yantuo's army and the sneak attack of the Turkic tribes, which can be said to be a real full head.

"What is the emperor thinking? Our side is ready, and we don't need soldiers on our side, but we have to transfer troops in Shandong and Henan, how many useful soldiers can there be? ”

Looking at the letter sent by the imperial court, Su Dingfang began to complain, not that the soldiers of that generation were not good, mainly because all the soldiers in that area were infantry, and there was no problem in taking care of the common people, why do you need so many infantry on the grassland? Unless it is on the edge of the steppe, our infantry can still be of some use, and if we really go to the depths of the steppe, the infantry will be tired from running.

"Are you kid crazy? Did you say that? Luckily, there is no one else here, and if there were anyone else, your words would have made your whole family ask for help. ”

Niu Jinda is kick, the two of them are usually used to it, Su Dingfang woke up in shock, looked at Li Xiang who was looking at the map next to him, stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything, if it was really heard by others, in case Li Shimin knew about it and took this sentence to trouble him, he was really unforgivable, don't look at your previous achievements in the past, but if you are dissatisfied with the emperor, all your military exploits may be wiped out for you.

"Your Highness, what do you want?"

Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda both came over, they were not satisfied with the imperial court, and they couldn't complain casually, but our Royal Highness didn't say a word at the moment, what the hell is going on?

"I'm thinking about how to change the situation of this war, and immediately give the court a twist, just say that we are in turmoil here, and we urgently need the court to send a group of infantry over, the best thing is to start from Shandong, let them come by sea ship, as for what the court said, send troops to Mobei to support, from our department."

After listening to Li Xiang's words, the two of them glanced at each other, how can there be wars and chaos here, not to mention wars, there is not even a troublemaker, the various ministries have been properly arranged, there are many traitors in Goguryeo, they have achieved a class leap after they have reached the Tang Dynasty, these people are more nervous than us, once something happens in their territory, these people are really decisive.

"Your Highness, isn't this a lie about the military situation?"

Niu Jinda said with some confusion, even if we want to help His Royal Highness King Wu get out of trouble, there is no need to throw a basin on his head, we only reported that there was nothing to say a month ago, and there was a war a month later, so we will be more or less guilty of negligence.

"If you don't do this, how can you make the court have face, we have already asked for war before, but the court didn't use our soldiers, all the soldiers used were domestic soldiers, what is the use of those soldiers after they go? If you want to make us Datang die less, what is important about the reputation of a few of us, it is nothing more than a little less reward, but it can save the lives of thousands of soldiers, that is, thousands of families. ”

After Li Xiang's words were finished, the two people in the tent were in awe, they are also the top people in Datang, but if it comes to thinking about Datang, the two of them are indeed not as free and easy as Li Xiang, they would rather be charged with a crime themselves, and hope to solve the problem quickly, which is really self-sacrificing.

"I'm going to do it."

Su Dingfang didn't dare to have any delay, there happened to be a prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone next to him, so this guy hurriedly began to write a recital, hoping that the imperial court would agree to their proposal.

His Royal Highness King Wu is really not living a good life now, he originally had more than 50,000 troops under his command, and after experiencing defeat after failure, there are now more than 30,000 people left, and the rest can only die on the grassland.

Wu Wang Li Ge originally wanted to gamble and let himself win, but now it seems that he should lose the bet, then he must have to eat the consequences, the whole Goguryeo War, I'm afraid the loss is not so much, he is now losing the elite border army of the Tang Dynasty, at this moment His Royal Highness King Wu looked at the mountain in the distance, and the whole person didn't know how to go.

"Report to Your Highness, the document of the imperial court."

Call Li Kuishan to come over and report, he is also a distant descendant of the Li family.

When he saw the words on it, Li Ke, the king of Wu, directly gathered the documents of the imperial court, and then threw them into the puddle formed by the rain next to him.

"Is this what the court wants us all to die here? Sending infantry from the two provinces, whose idea was this? Hasn't General Li Jing already returned to the capital? Could he have allowed such a policy to take shape? ”

King Wu said angrily, and the lieutenant general next to him didn't dare to say anything.

This is a vain discussion of the government, you are the emperor's son, if you commit such a crime, you may open the net, we people don't have such good luck, if the emperor really cares about us, killing one of our heads is a gift, maybe we have to kill the whole family.
