But!

On this day.

Outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an, as usual, caravans lined up to enter the city, and the people entered and exited at another side gate.

can

Right now.

A war horse, a scout, with three Tang Dynasty battle flags behind him, rushed into Chang'an, along Suzaku Street, and rushed to the imperial city.

This scene,

It also made the people of the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of Suzaku Street pay attention.

The calm of the present,

In the laziness of winter, the people are basically not busy.

They are all waiting for the next spring, so chatting about the north and the south has become the main thing.

Naturally, seeing this scene, you can't help but guess.

After all

The three-pole battle flag, this represents an extremely urgent matter, no checkpoint can be blocked, and any city gate must be allowed to pass.

"What's going on? This scout is dressed, he should have come from Youzhou, right? Youzhou or even the northern Xinjiang side, is there something going on? ”

"I don't know, but....I haven't heard anything recently, it's very calm in the north, and those merchants who are walking in Yunzhou City and Chang'an City haven't brought out any news."

"Could it be....The Turks are coming down again? No, they had just lost the battle, and if the Turks were to go south, the battle flag would have been blood-red in such an urgent battle. ”

"Also, could it be that Pu County is over there? No, when Puxian was there, he was not dressed like this, but at this glance, he was a border army. ”

"Speaking of which, it's been so long, do we still want Datang in Qingzhou? Do you really want it? It's been so long, and I haven't started fighting, what the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know, but....Qingzhou is lost like this, Your Majesty is not aggrieved in your heart?"

"Aggrieved? Is there still one less thing Your Majesty is aggrieved? Anyway, Your Majesty can bear it, cough cough, forget it, drink tea, don't talk about state affairs. ”

"Your kid's mouth is really damaged, be careful when the disaster comes out of the mouth, hey, in fact, compared to Dayan, it is more important to be Turkic, how to say that Dayan is also a country established by our Han people, Turkic aliens, they will not have any hands."

"Who's to say it's not? But the Turks....people are strong and strong, we Datang really don't know when we will be able to beat the Turks, and it's good to be angry, the covenant signed on the banks of the Weishui River, in the past three years, I heard that it has to be sent to the Turks to send tens of millions of yuan, this is not counting the food, grandma's, the food that our people in the Tang Dynasty are tired and tired of planting, and in the end it is cheap for the Turkic group of grandchildren. ”

"That's right, but you don't know the Turks, they are brave and good at fighting, it's difficult, and now you can resist the Turks and don't continue to go south, thank God."

"That's right, the steppe is vast, if our army rushes to the steppe, I'm afraid it will really be killed by the Turks."

“…….”

Diners and tea drinkers are talking about it.

A pot of hot tea, chatting.

But once the Turks are mentioned, they all reveal grievances and sorrows.

Turkic

It is a thorn in the hearts of the Tang people, an absolute thorn!

Especially the former King of Chu.

This is now a familiar but extremely unfamiliar title, which makes them even more embarrassed.

The former king of Chu,

How high-spirited and domineering.

Outcome....

Ay....

What the name is, some people have even forgotten.

There is only the title of King of Chu.

From time to time, someone can still bring it up.

Mention it carefully, just because in Chang'an City, the name of the King of Chu is a taboo.

But.

Even if it is mentioned, it is just a sigh, or a pot of wine, facing the north to pay tribute.

King of Chu, King of Chu,

What a stunning talent, but it was so worn out in the process of the country, there was not even a single wave, and even the name was forgotten in the end.

The people were full of emotion.

Of course

Such feelings are mainly a sigh for Datang's helplessness and weakness.

No way.

It really can't be helped.

Datang has really been aggrieved in the past three years, first Turkic, then Dayan, and its external weakness has never disappointed.

….….….….….….

At this time.

Imperial.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin is handling political affairs.

There is a pot of hot tea at hand, and from time to time I will put down my pen, pick up the teacup, and look out of the hall, slightly distracted.

winter

Not only are there not many things for the people, but there are also a lot fewer things for the court.

Calm, the word seems to go well with winter.

But....

Li Shimin's heart is still pressing him.

The year is coming to an end.

But the situation in Datang has not improved.

On the contrary, even worse than the year before.

Qingzhou, gone.

Now when Li Shimin sleeps, he is worried that when he wakes up the next day, the entire territory of Datang has been invaded by Dayan.

It's not a way to go on like this.

And there was no movement on the Puxian side, and Da Yan didn't seem to want to continue to expand south, could it be....Da Yan was really scaring himself before?

Wait until the beginning of spring next year,

When everything is ready, why don't you give it a try and fight with Da Yan?

Qingzhou,

Such a large piece of territory can't just be gone.

Li Shimin thought about it and tried to make a decision in his heart.

But.

It was also at this time that the silent Taiji Palace was exploded by a voice.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"There's news from northern Xinjiang, it's an urgent report from there!"

Li Junxian rushed in.

Behind him, he was followed by a border scout.

The teacup in Li Shimin's hand shook violently, fortunately the tea was almost drunk by him, otherwise, it would have to be spilled.

"Northern Xinjiang?"

The thoughts in Li Shimin's heart were directly interrupted, and the whole person stood up violently.

The face is extremely dignified.

As long as it comes to the urgent news in northern Xinjiang, it seems that there is never good news.

Could it be that the Turks have begun to revolt again?

Li Shimin's breathing was very short.

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin stared at the scout with the battle flag behind him, and asked in a deep voice.

When the scout heard this, he immediately handed over the battle report in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is written by General Chai Shaochai himself, 100,000 urgent information, please take a look!"

The scout didn't hesitate at all, took out a letter from the bamboo tube on his chest, and handed it over respectfully with a quick step.

Li Shimin immediately took it.

Tear.

Ten lines at a glance.

He watched intently, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin's body shook, and then he reacted.

He looked at the scout, then at Li Junxian, and opened his mouth, but several times, he didn't say anything.

Li Shimin swallowed with difficulty.

He took another deep breath, slowly, solemnly put the things in his hand on the table, and pondered for a moment before finally making a sound.

"Li Junxian, put... Bring the scouts to the store and rest, remember! Heavy business 100 taels! ”

"In addition, I will call the pharmacist, Lao Cheng, Second Brother Qin, by the way, as well as Xuan Ling, Keming, and the auxiliary machine."

"Go, go!"

Li Shimin spoke, his voice became more and more urgent, and the last few words were almost shouted.

Li Junxian didn't dare to delay, hurriedly pulled the border army scouts out of the hall, and then hurriedly summoned everyone.

Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian's back in a hurry, took a deep breath, sat on the ground.

Eyes are instriated.

Unbelievable.

Out-of-body.

Get one’s dander up.

Trembling all over.

Cold sweat broke out!

"Your Majesty!"

The waiter next to him didn't know why, and wanted to help.

Li Shimin shook his head and stopped his movements, but said nothing.

His head rested lightly against the table behind him.

hands, I don't know where to put them.

"Goo-dong...."

He swallowed again.

However, I still feel that my mouth is like a fire, and it is extremely dry.

"Tea....tea...."

Li Shimin spit out two words.

The waiter hurriedly brought the teacup over and put it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it.

But

My hands trembled, and the tea was all overflowing.

He let go of his hand.

I grabbed it hard, and then I picked it up, but my hand was still shaking uncontrollably.

The teacups are unstable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor?"

Seeing this, the attendant next to him immediately asked eagerly.

What's the matter, Your Majesty?

I can't even hold a teacup!

"No, it's none of your business here, put the teacup there and leave it here."

Li Shimin closed his eyes and commanded directly.

The chamberlain can only do so.

After a long time, Li Shimin picked up the teacup again and drank it in one gulp.

The warm tea rushed down the esophagus directly to his stomach, and then, in an instant, he wanted to relieve himself.

But....

Li Shimin held back.

He let out a long breath.

But a glass of water still can't suppress the dryness in the mouth.

I swallowed my saliva again, but it still hurt badly.

Great fire!

Great Flame!!

Of the 100,000 Turkic army, tens of thousands of people died directly under Yanyun City, and 15,000 people directly became prisoners of Great Yan.

Although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops on the steppe.

But the most elite batch was lost like this.

It can be predicted.

Turkic, almost falling apart!

And the intelligence also said that now in the entire grassland, there don't seem to be Turkic people, Dayan has trained many people into bounty hunters, the martial style is pure, a Turkic person has three money, he Emperor Dayan can really come up with it.

He....

Is he still human?

Da Yan, how the hell is this done?

Fight against the most elite warriors of the Turks.

The casualties of the Great Yan together are only more than 10,000 people....

As soon as this thought came out, Li Shimin shivered again, and his breathing became more and more burning.

Da Yan, it's too terrifying!!

At this moment,

Li Shimin's heart was still full of luck, and he began to get lucky, and he didn't start a stupid war in Puxian County.

Retreat is the best decision!

Just now

I even want to try it with Edifice Yan, damn, do you still need to try? Da Yandu is already like this, the 100,000 elite army of the Turks can't defeat a city, do they still want to send them to death?

Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan, I really want to thank you this time, if it weren't for you, my name would really be completely engraved into the list of shameful faint kings.

Now in Li Shimin's mind, there is only one picture,

That is, if you really start a war with Da Yan, your 50,000 elite army will all be destroyed and wiped out by Da Yan.

When the time comes,

Most places in Datang are over.

I didn't say much about it, I didn't panic, it was really over!

The only remaining army is more than 100,000, but it is impossible to hold the territory as large as Datang.

Li Shimin swallowed again.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Sitting on the floor, leaning against the desk, like a stupid dead man.

It didn't take long for

Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui came in a hurry.

His Majesty sent someone to summon them, and he was extremely anxious, and naturally everyone did not dare to make any mistakes.

In particular, Li Junxian also said that it was about northern Xinjiang, which made them even more afraid to delay.

Northern Xinjiang!

Especially Youzhou.

There is too much pain in Datang there!

If the Turks take advantage of this winter to go south again, Datang will really make matters worse.

When everyone stepped into the Taiji Palace, they saw Li Shimin sitting there, leaning on the desk, motionless.

"Your Majesty, the minister Du Ruhui greets Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? What happened to Northern Xinjiang? ”

"Your Majesty is alright? Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? ”

“…….”

Everyone respectfully bowed to him, but after shouting a few times, they saw that Li Shimin was motionless, just like a wooden stake, and immediately became anxious, wanting to call the imperial doctor,

At this time, Li Shimin's eyebrows trembled, and his eyes opened.

His gaze patrolled, sweeping over the crowd.

"You're here."

"Take a look, take a look, it's the battle report written by Chai Shao, and it's on it."

Li Shimin said hoarsely.

Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and others glanced at each other, walked quickly to the desk, and sure enough, there was a letter on it.

They unfolded cautiously, and they all rushed forward.

But in the next breath, their bodies were completely frozen, and their breathing suddenly stopped.

The Taiji Palace, which was a little messy because of them just now, fell silent again, like a cemetery, dead and silent, and the needles could be heard.

This....

This!!!

The crowd stared at the explosive intelligence, and slowly raised their heads, you look at me, I look at you.

They pursed their lips, and their mouths were all dry at once.

How can it be!

How can it be!!

How can it be!!!

Truth be told,

They thought about countless ways to fight the Turks, and how to fight the Turks.

However, none of them thought that the Turks would pay such a price, that they would be so vulnerable?

Tens of thousands of people died!

Fifteen thousand people captured!

The Turks are about to collapse!

The prairie changes hands!

Da Yan, how the hell did they do this.

One month, this is only one month, Da Yan has done it, they Datang can't even think of a victory, they have always felt that Datang can just stabilize the Turks and block the Turks from going south, which is the best result.

Counterattack on the steppe, absolutely impossible!

And if Datang wants to achieve such a result, it is even more impossible!!

Dayan, paid a total of more than 10,000 casualties, but did it!!

And if Datang wants to do it, how many people will have to die like this? Unthinkable! It's really completely unimaginable!

That's good right now....

Emperor Great Yan, this is directly destroying the Turkic roots!

I'm a good girl!

Emperor Great Yan, this is too ruthless.

Boom....

Everyone swallowed with difficulty.

They slowly walked in front of Li Shimin.

He didn't say anything, just sat silently on the ground.

Faith, placed in the midst of the multitude.

Stupid, completely stupid! (End of chapter)
