Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to the previous plan, the right servant She Li Jing, who had already served as an official, was appointed as the general manager of the march to Xihai Road, commanding the Minister of War, Hou Junji, the general manager of Jishi Road March, the Minister of Punishment as the king of the city, Li Daozong, the general manager of Shanshan Road March, the governor of Liangzhou, and  Li Daliang, the commander-in-chief of the final march, Li Daoyan, the commander-in-chief of the Chishui Road march, Gao Zengsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanzedao ??march, the governor of Lizhou, and the East Turkic and Qibi Heli troops who returned to the Tang Dynasty attacked Tuyuhun.

    This time, the Tang Dynasty killed a chicken with a sledgehammer. It dispatched so many generals at once and led an army of more than 100,000 to conduct military operations against Tuyuhun.

    You must know that at this time, the total strength of the Tang Dynasty was less than 600,000, but more than 100,000 were dispatched at once. This shows that Li Shimin attached great importance to this war.  We are even more looking forward to ending this war in a short time.

    Since the day the army set off, Li Shimin and all the ministers have been completely busy.  Many ministers live directly in the palace.  So that when he encounters any situation, Li Shimin can come to them as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.

    "Congratulations, Your Majesty. This time, the Tuyuhun people were indeed careless and unprepared. Our army won the first battle. The soldiers of Tuyuhun began to retreat steadily and shrink with all their strength. In just one day, our army advanced several times.  Shili, it¡¯s really gratifying and congratulatory.¡±

    At this time, although the night was deep, the lights in the Manna Hall were brightly lit. Li Shimin was sitting there with a smile on his face, listening to the content of the victory report.

    But just as Qiang Qian expected, Tuyuhun never expected that Datang would actually be serious this time, and the speed was still so fast.  Just after they detained the sixth batch of Datang envoys, Datang's army.  He actually immediately killed them across the border and headed straight for their royal city from several directions.

    For a time, they suddenly became a mess and began to retreat without resistance.  It actually allowed Tang Jun to advance dozens of miles directly.

    "Haha, it is indeed a surprise. Regardless of other things, the morale of our army will definitely be greatly shaken. And Tuyuhun will definitely have low morale and have made a good start. However, it is not too late to be happy at this time.  It was too early. The reason why it went so well this time was because they were caught off guard by our army and they would organize a resistance immediately when they recovered."

    Li Shimin was quite happy about the victory. If nothing else, the morale gap between the enemy and ourselves was an inestimable benefit.

    "What your Majesty said is absolutely true, and the closer you get to the end, the more cautious you must be. Once there is no way to retreat, the opponent will return to a trapped beast fight. When the time comes, you must be extremely cautious."

    Of course, everyone agreed with Li Shimin's words, and someone quickly responded.

    "Well, Tubo should have received the news by now. Is there anything unusual?"

    Suddenly, Li Shimin regained his composure as the king of a country.  That is to avoid being overjoyed or sad.  Soon, he asked about the situation in Tubo.  Although, according to my guess, I know that Tubo will definitely not take a trip into this troubled water.  However, don¡¯t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

    "Your Majesty, there is no change in the Tubo Kingdom. There is not even a document sent asking about this matter. It seems that it is treated as if this matter does not exist."

    After hearing Li Shimin¡¯s question, a minister soon stood up and answered.

    "Well, that's very good"

    When Li Shimin heard this, he kept nodding his head.  Just ask, that's right, pretending to be deaf and dumb is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it.  One is to avoid misunderstandings, and the other is to avoid embarrassment, right?

    "How will other countries respond?"

    After asking about Tubo, Li Shimin immediately asked about other countries around him.  He believed that those countries must already know about this.  Now that they know this, they will definitely react.

    "Your Majesty, there is indeed a response. However, they only strengthened the number of border garrison troops. Apart from that, there are no other changes. Well, however, Goryeo, Silla and Baekje sent out  The envoy is on his way to Chang'an at this time, and he should be able to arrive in a few days."

    "Haha, it seems that killing chickens to scare monkeys has worked. After the envoys from various countries arrived in Chang'an, they came to report to me. When the time comes, I will host a banquet in the palace to entertain them, but I must not lose my Tang Dynasty etiquette. However, let  Border troops in various places are on full alert and closely watching the movements of various countries.¡±

    When Li Shimin heard this, he knew that many people were frightened and that he was here to show his kindness.  In this regard, Li Shimin certainly would not look down upon others.  If you really frighten people, then the gain outweighs the loss.  Things must be eaten bite by bite.

    Of course, the vigilance of these countries is also unreasonable.?Lalaxy.  You know, Datang is currently at war with Tuyuhun.  If something happens again, it will be big trouble.

    "By the way, where are the Turks? What's going on over there with the Turks?"

    At the end, Li Shimin finally asked about the Turks. This was what worried him the most.

    "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, before the army attacks Tuyuhun, a group of sergeants have been transferred from elsewhere to strengthen the defense against the Turks. In my opinion, it should be foolproof. Even if Gu Yu thinks about taking action  , according to the strength of our frontier army, he is not afraid. What's more, he has to guard against sneak attacks from Nanting behind him."

    "That's good, hey Now, what I am most worried about is that there is something strange happening on the Turks side. You know, they have a lot of troops now. Moreover, they are all cavalry and move quickly. If something goes wrong,  , then it will be terrible.¡±

    Turks have always been Li Shimin¡¯s biggest worry.  Although the population of Turks is not very large, their soldiers are very numerous.  It can be said that as long as a man rides a horse, he is a brave cavalryman.  Li Shimin was helpless about this situation.

    People don¡¯t practice any farming at all. They just graze on the grassland, hunt, gallop on horseback, or compete in martial arts.  It can be said that I have been training since I was a child.  Especially in equestrian skills, everyone is good at it and there is no shortage of horses.

    "Reportemergency military situationTurkic invasion"

    Li Shimin had just finished speaking, and before his worry had calmed down, a very urgent sound suddenly came from outside the palace.

    "What? Turks are invading, quickly bring it up quickly"

    When he heard that the Turks were invading, Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his voice full of nervousness and urgency.

    In fact, not only Li Shimin, but also all the ministers present felt their hearts pounding.  Everyone is very clear about the Turks, which are quite difficult to deal with.

    "What on earth is going on? Could it be that everything in the past was an illusion"

    Li Shimin hurriedly took the secret report, then he couldn't wait to open it and read it carefully.  However, as he watched slowly, he suddenly showed a shocked expression, and then spoke anxiously.  His expression was full of disbelief.

    Seeing the emperor¡¯s expression, the ministers below became even more nervous.  They knew that something big must have happened this time.  Otherwise, the emperor would not have such an expression.  Although they also wanted to know what was going on, they could only wait anxiously for the emperor to speak.

    "My dear friends, the situation is very bad now. Turks, Nanting, and Beiting have assembled nearly 150,000 troops to attack our governor's offices in Shunzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, etc. at the same time.  Although our frontier troops have been prepared and have been replenished some time ago, the enemy's strength is now too great. All the frontier troops can only rely on the city to carry out passive defense and request the court to send troops for support immediately.  ¡±

    After being shocked for a while, Li Shimin quickly forced himself to calm down.  Then, with an extremely serious expression, he spoke to the ministers below.

    "The South Courtyard and the North Courtyard are dispatched together. How is this possible? Moreover, there are as many as 150,000 soldiers. Calculating from this, they can be said to be out in full force. Could it be that their previous internal fights were all  Are you acting? You are deliberately confusing us, otherwise, how could it be like this?"

    After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Ji immediately stood up and said in horror.  As a military general, he understands this military matter best.  There are 150,000 troops. This is definitely all the troops in the South Court and the North Court.  Now, they will actually join forces to attack Datang.

    This can only mean one thing, that is, they are fully confident that the other party will not plot against them.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to take out all the belongings so unpreparedly.

    If we go by the past, this would be easier to say. After all, there is a common sweat. Even if everyone has any ideas, they would not dare to do anything to their brothers.  However, the current situation is not quite right.  Therefore, there is only one situation, that is, everything before was acted out for everyone to see.

    "Okay, now, let's discuss how to face this Turkic army. You know, the frontier army is struggling to resist now. If it takes too long, something may happen."

    Li Shimin also feels a sense of powerlessness now.  He didn't expect that what he was most worried about would not only happen, but it would also be so unexpected.  However, fortunately, troops have been mobilized there and the defense has been consolidated.?.  Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

    After hearing what Li Shimin said, everyone stopped talking and began to think deeply.  The inside of the Manna Hall suddenly became quiet.  Compared with the cheerful atmosphere just now, it seemed very quiet and depressing.  (To be continued.
