Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Turkic Soldiers Are Coming, Who Can Deal with It? Only the King of Qin!
Lishan Palace.
Headed by the crown prince King Qi, important ministers gathered.
Even military attachΓ©s such as the Governor of Jingzhao and the Commander of the Forbidden Army came, and they were all heavyweights.
But the moment they saw the emergency report from Fenzhou, no one could remain calm.
Many people's faces showed a look of panic!
"You have all seen that Jieli Khan led the elite cavalry, known as 100,000, and has attacked the boundary of Fengzhou."
Li Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said slowly,
"If Fengzhou is broken, I'm afraid that the army will soon come to Weishui and point directly at Chang'an!"
"That's why I have to convene an emergency meeting to call all of you, think about it, think about it!"
"What to do!"
The words fell, but the silence in the hall became more and more silent.
It was so silent that they could hear each other's breathing.
The audience was silent, and the atmosphere was instantly depressed to the extreme.
Li Yuan was holding a string of beads in his hand, and when he saw this, he was irritable and unhappy.
The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together to enjoy the pleasure together, and when it came to the time of common hardship, why couldn't a fart collapse? !
"Prince!"
He shouted,
"Do you have any ideas?"
Li Jiancheng was named, and his heart suddenly chuckled.
He got up and knelt down, and said respectfully:
"My father is wise and wise, and he must have made a bamboo in his chest, and his sons dare not speak falsely about military affairs."
Li Yuan's face froze.
Have a well-thought-out plan?
I'll be you XX XX!
"I have some ideas, but I want to hear your thoughts now!"
Li Yuan said angrily,
"As the prince of the prison country, you should actively speak out on military affairs, why don't you dare to speak falsely?"
"Do you want this kind of virtue when you ascend the throne in the future?"
"Be bold and say it!"
Li Jiancheng: "......"
Military is his absolute shortcoming.
For such an urgent and tricky matter, his mind was blank, where did he get the strategy?
was forced into a corner by his father's tough words, and Li Jiancheng had to give Li Yuanji a look for help.
"Father, the son has something to say."
Li Yuanji stood up at the right time and saluted.
"Speak." Li Yuan waved his hand, his face expressionless.
"Erchen thinks that Jieli Khan's invasion of my territory this time must not be as strong as he blows."
Li Yuanji said loudly,
"The so-called 100,000 troops is definitely bluffing, and the actual strength may only be 350,000!"
Li Yuan's expression softened slightly.
The ministers also nodded their heads again and again.
Li Yuanji's words made their hearts feel a little calmer.
"You go on." Li Yuan said.
"Therefore, my father only needs to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to aid Fenzhou, even if he can't solve the danger of Fenzhou, at least he can confront Najieli."
Li Yuanji talked eloquently and said proudly,
"Jieli is far away, and the grain and grass will definitely be short. If you can't attack it for a long time, you will naturally retreat. β
"The son is not talented, I am willing to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, go to meet the Jieli Khan for a while, and guard the country for my father!"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up,
"Good, good!"
He stroked his palms and praised,
"Yuanji deserves to be my unicorn. Courage, courage! β
"I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses, and if you can successfully repel Jieli Khan, it will be a great achievement for you!"
Li Yuanji was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but he saw a minister suddenly come out of the queue and bowed down:
"Your Majesty!"
"Chang'an does not have 50,000 soldiers and horses to gather, since His Majesty disbanded the soldiers of the world, Chang'an has only 30,000 troops inside and outside, stationed in the inner court of the imperial city, and Jingzhao city defense."
"If you want to transfer troops from the border, whether it is the king of Ren Cheng or the soldiers and horses of Li Shiji's office, they will not be able to rush back to Chang'an in a short period of time."
"By the time they arrive, I'm afraid the Turkic cavalry will already be in the city!"
Li Yuan looked stunned.
The person who spoke was none other than Tai Changqing and the son of the country, the priest of the wine, and the birthday of the Dou of the Shangzhu Kingdom!
He is in charge of the standing affairs of the country, so he naturally knows the distribution of troops in the Tang Dynasty well.
"This, this ......"
He hurriedly asked,
"If you rush to help, how many soldiers and horses are available?!"
All the ministers looked at Dou Dan with apprehensive expressions.
"If you don't consider Chang'an, you can have 30,000 soldiers."
Dou Dan's expression was calm, and he said,
"If you want to defend the Jingshi and protect Your Majesty, you can only divide up to 8,000 soldiers and horses at the moment, and at most 10,000."
"The minister thought that if His Majesty wanted to send reinforcements, he could only choose the latter. Otherwise, once you lose the battle, there will be no one around Your Majesty to defend it, and Chang'an will become an empty city! β
Li Yuan: "!! β
The ministers all changed color.
They knew it was bad, but they didn't expect it to be so serious!
Li Yuanji swallowed his saliva and quietly retracted his neck.
Eight thousand?
That's a poop! Slipped away......
"Eight thousand, against fifty thousand......"
Li Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Li Yuanji, and said with a little hope,
"Yuanji, look ......"
Li Yuanji: "??? β
"Father, although there have always been cases of winning more with less, if you want to fight 8,000 against 50,000, the other party is still the elite of the Turks, I'm afraid it will ......"
He hurriedly said,
"The retainers are self-aware, and they dare not speak again."
Refuse, can't fight, farewell!
Triple veto.
"Alas!"
Li Yuan was disappointed and sighed,
"If the Turks break through the state, what can they do!"
At the moment when Li Yuan's mentality exploded, Li Jiancheng suddenly came out of the ranks.
"Father, the son thinks that he should protect himself first, and then plan for the future."
He advised,
"The Turks are menacing, and it is very likely that Fengzhou will not be able to hold it, and Chang'an will also be threatened."
"For today's plan, the only way is to move the capital!"
"The father first retreated to the Central Plains, and then relocated the political affairs one by one, and then burned Chang'an and turned it into a dead city!"
"In this way, it is useless for Jieli Khan to gain it, even if he wants to attack again, he will need to travel a long distance and conquer the city, while we can wait for work and stop the Turks!"
When Li Yuan heard this, his heart moved.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's words, the ministers dare not agree!"
Xiao Yu stood up and shouted,
"How can you give this hard-fought country to the Turkic barbarians?! In this way, I am afraid that it will be a big loss of the hearts of the people in the world! β
"Besides, if Jieli Khan enters the pass, with the ferocity of the Turkic cavalry, I am afraid that it will quickly sweep the world, and when half of the world is lost, he will get involved in the Central Plains again, will we not be able to move the capital to the south again?"
"They are fed by plunder, and they will only grow stronger, not tired! When the time comes, how will the Tang Dynasty, which has only half the world and the morale of the people, face the stronger Turks? β
"Your Majesty, think twice! Moving the capital is a move to destroy the country! β
A few words, deafening!
Li Yuan's fingers trembled slightly, and Li Jiancheng also changed color.
"Xiao Ge Lao said this, it's too alarmist!"
Li Jiancheng sneered,
"Moving the capital is just a temporary expedient measure, in order to protect the court and the emperor!"
"Heh, since you are so knowledgeable and strategic, then tell me, if we don't move the capital, what should we do now? Do you use 8,000 people to use the mantis arm as a car?! β
Xiao Yu raised her head slightly.
"The minister is stupid, and he has no strategy for asking himself."
He said aloud,
"But there is one person, there must be a way to break the game!"
"Who!" Li Yuan pointed at him and asked.
"Admiral Tiance, Qin King Li Shimin!" Xiao Yu said sonorously, "Your Majesty, has you forgotten who is the person who knows the most about military affairs in the entire Tang Dynasty and is the most skilled in dangerous and tough battles?" β
Li Yuan's breathing was suffocated.
