Chapter 43: The Imperial Palace, Crusade against Tuyuhun!

Palace.

Li Shimin is discussing the matter of Tuyuhun with Yuan Tiangang, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji and others.

"Did the national teacher really think that there would be that kind of thing that overthrew the world?"

Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, is himself a mid-stage martial artist of the Great Heavenly Rank, and he has some doubts about the strange altar of the god of war that Yuan Tiangang said.

Yuan Tiangang nodded.

"That's right, now that Tuyuhun is ready to send troops, we should immediately make a battle plan, even if the gods of war are fake, we can also subdue the two places and be controlled by my Datang!"

General Li Jing touched his beard on the side, looked at the map on the table, and his eyes revealed a sharp edge.

"This Tuyuhun was defeated by Duan Zhixuan's army, but the king of Tuyuhun Fuyun did not regret it, in the past half a year, although the Tuyuhun army has not been turbulent, but the surrounding areas such as Liangzhou and other places, have been repeatedly harassed, although there are no casualties, but a lot of grain and livestock have been plundered."

"This is an opportunity, please make an order immediately! The minister is willing to lead the troops straight into the hinterland of Tuyuhun! Defeat Tuyuhun! ”

Hou Junji and others arched their hands on the side and said: "Ministers, reconsider!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin arched his hand and said: "I am the same!" ”

Several people are good at conquest, especially with Li Jing as the leader, and immediately said that they would immediately issue an edict and send troops to attack Tuyuhun!

Among them, a few Wenchen maintained a cautious attitude, did not approve, and did not stop it.

However, there are also a very small number of people who claim that now that the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are recuperating, even if General Li Jing and the national division are in command, it will cause some trouble.

It's better to wait for the 100,000 mountains to compete with Tuyuhun, and send envoys to persuade each other with reason, so that the two places belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers will not be bloody, wouldn't it be better?

Li Shimin listened to these people's speeches lightly, and then he said with a solemn face:

"Persuasion? Huh...."

"I don't think there's any need for that!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Huh?"

There was also Wenchen who wanted to speak, but as Li Shimin looked over, the man immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Li Shimin's expression was majestic, and he said in an indifferent tone: "My Datang has not sent troops for nearly a year, and he has been confident that his troops are strong and strong, and he mistakenly thinks that he can compete with my Datang, so he doesn't understand my painstaking efforts!" ”

"Do you think that those border states were grabbed by them with their strength? That's what I gave them away! ”

"But they insist on being the enemy of my Tang Dynasty, and they are looking for death, how can I not fulfill him!!"

Hou Junji praised with his hand:

"Your Majesty is very true!"

"That Fu Yun is old and faint (kUi), I don't know how thick the sky is, His Majesty invited him Fu Yun to enter the court, but he claimed to be sick, and the marriage also said that no one can match His Majesty."

"I am a country of state, how can I allow a barbarian small state to be deceived and repented!"

Cheng Yanjin nodded on the side, and agreed with Hou Junji's words and said, "I am the same!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang at this time.

"What else does the national teacher have to say?"

Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth and said: "The minister thinks that what the generals said is very true. ”

"Fu Yun will go to the 100,000 Mountains in the near future, and my Tang Righteous Division will naturally have a reason to go, and it is justified to crusade against the two places!"

"And although Tubo was defeated, there must be resentment in his heart, they are the same as Tuyuhun, they are a disaster for my Datang, if Tuyuhun can be completely subdued, let it become the use of my Datang, then there will be a natural barrier in the west of my Datang!"

"In this way, if Tubo wants to attack and harass the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing they can do!"

"What the national teacher said is the same as what I think!"

Li Shimin looked at the map with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Tubo and the Central Plains are separated by Tuyuhun, if you want to attack the Central Plains, then he must pass through Tuyuhun!" ”

"If our army destroys his Tuyuhun and makes it a subordinate of my Tang Dynasty, and sends troops to garrison this place, then Tubo will never be able to break through this barrier!"

"But if Fu Yun unites with Tibet, then my Tang Dynasty will never have peace!"

Speaking of which, a faint purple-gold internal force appeared on Li Shimin's body, and the air in the room seemed to have decreased a lot.

"This time, we must kill them with one blow, and we must not give them a chance to go back and unite!"

Li Jing touched his beard lightly and said: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict, the minister will lead the troops to the battle, and he will win!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing with a solemn face.

"Aiqing's loyalty is commendable, and I am very pleased, but I even Aiqing is old, and her body is sick and not easy to run, so I think..."

"Your Majesty!" Li Jing directly interrupted Li Shimin's words.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your care, and the old minister is grateful!" Li Jing first thanked him respectfully, and then said in an unquestionable tone:

"In the past, Lian Po was eighty years old, and he was still able to lead the army to fight on the battlefield when he suffered from a serious disease!"

"Although the old minister is old, he is only sixty and two, and his health is not bad, he is rejuvenating the country and guarding the border, and the old minister is duty-bound!"

"The old minister has the courage to make an order with His Majesty! If this battle is not won, the head of the old minister will be handed over to His Majesty, and His Majesty will be asked to promise! ”

Li Shimin never doubted Li Jing's ability, and even the first choice in his mind at the beginning was him.

Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin said with concern: "I know very well that Aiqing uses soldiers like a god, and if he goes to war, he will be able to pacify Tuguhun, but I heard that your foot is sick..."

"Hahahaha...."Li Jing laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a battle-hardened general, and he is still brave over sixty years old, and he is not afraid of swords, guns, swords, and arrows, and he is afraid that this little bit of foot disease will not be successful!"

As he spoke, Li Jing tore open his trouser leg and kicked it.

"Your Majesty! Although this leg is sick, it is not broken! However, you can capture the enemy immediately and capture that Fu Yunxiao! ”

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay!" ”

"Aiqing has made up her mind, how can I be loyal to you!"

"Li Jing listens to the order!"

"The minister is here!"

"Tuyuhun has repeatedly offended my Datang, and now he wants to annex 100,000 mountains, my Datang loves the people like a son, and the world is the same, so I sent troops to rescue him!"

"I ordered you to be the marshal of the expedition, and the sword is pointed at Tuguhun! Yuan Tiangang is the deputy marshal! The sword is pointing at the frontier! If General Li Jing succeeds, the two of you should join forces inside and outside, and cut off all his retreats from Tuguhun! ”

"Minister! Yuan Tiangang commanded! ”

"Minister, Li Jing commands! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Li Jing was overjoyed and bowed down, but before he could bend down, he was helped up by Li Shimin.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, I came to ask you, how many troops are you going to lead?"

Li Jing said with a serious face: "Back to Your Majesty, 20,000 elite soldiers are enough!" ”

"Twenty thousand?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Although the main force of the Tuyuhun troops is in Raojiang, there are tens of thousands of troops left in the hinterland, General Li Jing should not be a child's play!" ”

If this war can't be won, it will startle the snake, and he, Li Shimin, doesn't want to miscalculate.

Li Jing smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, as long as you give the method of making that grenade to the minister, the minister can even use 20,000 to fight the enemy 100,000!" ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, how did he know about the grenade? Feelings Li Jing is waiting for him here?

He couldn't help but glance at Cheng Biting Jin's big mouth beside Li Jing!

Cheng Yanjin scratched his cheeks and looked up at the roof, but he didn't look at Li Shimin anyway.

When he couldn't stand it, Cheng bit Jin Han and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see that this map really looks like a map." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he was also going to use the grenade as a big killer or a reward.

Because of this grenade, he even revealed his innate skills to Li Yunxiao.

But now, it was leaked by this big-mouthed guy, and now he has to give it away, and he has to give it if he doesn't give it!
