Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

The ministers reluctantly accepted Li Shimin's request, and quickly turned around and left here.

They knew very well in their hearts that Empress Changsun and the emperor must have a lot to say.

I'm afraid this can already be regarded as parting from life and death, even though the scene is a bit different!
"Your Majesty..." Empress Changsun had just opened her mouth with tears in her eyes when she was interrupted by Li Shimin waving her hand.

"Guanyin maidservant, I know what you want to say, but now is not the time to say these things. I made the will not because I think I will lose this time, but just to prepare for the worst!"

"The decisive battle with the Turks has not yet been decided. I will definitely not give up easily. What's more, there are still people and many troops in the world. It is not so easy for Datang to lose!"

"Right now, I just hope that no matter what happens next, you will do everything possible to ensure your own safety, and you will live to see Jian Er. With him here... the foundation of Datang will not be shaken!"

Li Shimin grabbed Empress Changsun's shoulder, and even his voice trembled a little.

I don't know why, even at this time, mentioning Li Jian will bring him an inexplicable sense of security!
"You must promise me!" After a while, Li Shimin said again very seriously.

Empress Changsun didn't say anything, but nodded resolutely!

In the following time, the husband and wife did not talk about any topic about the war, but comforted and encouraged each other!

The emperor and all the ministers were like this. After the news spread, the people in Chang'an became even more flustered!

The vast majority of people have prepared for the worst and gathered the surplus food at home as much as possible to ensure that when the chaos really comes, they will at least have something to eat!

a time.

The hearts of everyone in Chang'an seem to be shrouded in a cloud...

……

On the border gate tower.

Li Ji led many soldiers in extreme embarrassment and repelled another attack by the Turkic people.

In less than a day, the Turkic attacks have become more and more frequent.

Most hateful.

The Turkic people did not know why they suddenly increased their troops, and the power to attack the city was several times that of before.

"Li Jing, this bastard, there is no news that he was asked to lead his troops back to the defense, and he also released the main force of the Turkic people. With these people now, how can we defend the border?" Li Ji slammed his fist on the city wall, The anger on his face was hard to hide.

He had already sent a letter of appeal to Li Jing for help, but after waiting for so long, there was no news.

There is only one explanation for the fact that the Turkic people have become so powerful in a short period of time, that is, the main force led by Jieli Khan came back to support them first!

that's the truth!
After the defeat in the battle against Li Jing, Jieli Khan quickly changed the battle plan and led troops to support the army attacking the border as quickly as possible.

His idea is very simple, the main force of the Datang Army is chasing after them, and instead of entangled with them, it is better to attack the border with one go.

As long as these cities guarded by Li Ji are taken down, Yunzhou can be directly threatened.

On the day when the city of Yunzhou is broken, they can move their troops southward, take Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and wipe out the court and the emperor!
Since Jieli Khan came back with troops for support, the Turkic army has accelerated the pace of attack.

Li Ji didn't have many troops in his hands, and it was not easy for him to hold on to such a powerful attack.

You only need to persist for less than half a day, and you can successfully break through all the cities at the border!
For this point, whether it is Jieli Khan, Li Ji or the generals in their hands, they all know very well that these cities at the border may not be able to defend when things have come to this point!

It was precisely because of this that Li Ji was so angry. In his opinion, if Li Jing hadn't insisted on going his own way and ignored his plea for help, the situation would never have developed to the present stage.

"General, judging from the current situation, we can't defend at all. There are at most a few hours before the Turks will break through the city gate!"

"We still have a chance to retreat now and preserve our strength to guard Yunzhou. If we waste all our troops here, Yunzhou City will be even more difficult to defend!" At this moment, Lieutenant General Liao Wenqing looked at Li Ji eagerly and spoke. Said.

As soon as his words fell, all the generals present stood up and expressed their agreement with Liao Wenqing's suggestion with practical actions!

At this moment.

Everyone present was quite embarrassed, and their bodies were covered with blood.

This series of battles is too tragic!

In a sense, it is a miracle that they can persist until now.

"Impossible!" Li Ji shook his head very resolutely.

"Your Majesty asked us to guard the border. What kind of trust is this? If you give up now, you will ignore your Majesty and the people of the world!"

"Even if I die here, I will never take the initiative to lead people to retreat and hand over these border cities to the Turkic people. This is absolutely impossible!"

When he said these words, Li Ji's eyes were red, and his heart was full of anger and humiliation, which made him a little irrational, and he couldn't listen to everyone's suggestions at all.

Liao Wenqing and the others were silent...

As veterans on the battlefield, they are well aware of the situation in front of them.

Today's Li Ji has fallen into a state of madness, and under such circumstances, it is impossible to make a correct decision.

Although Li Ji is the main general here, they also have the responsibility to help him make the right decision, even if some extreme methods are used!

After a moment of silence, everyone looked at each other, and they all understood their thoughts. Years of fighting gave them a rare tacit understanding.

then.

In less than two breaths, everyone present shot almost at the same time, instantly controlled Li Ji, and then dragged him down.

"General, we must not see the general and the army confess here. Yunzhou City is the most important thing. If you die, you should die there!" Liao Wenqing quickly explained while dragging Li Ji down with the crowd .

however.

Li Ji couldn't listen to this at all, and kept gnashing his teeth and roaring: "You bastards, you dare to kidnap the chief general, do you know that this is a rebellion!"

"When I regain my freedom, I will kill all of you!"

But no matter how much he struggled and yelled, no one wavered in the slightest.

After controlling Li Ji, the generals immediately issued an order in his name. Before the Turks could react, they led the remaining main force to quickly withdraw to Yunzhou!

This is an extremely difficult decision. If they don't leave at this time, they will die at the border with all the people. That is truly irresponsible to the court.

In this way, the people in several border cities will be unlucky...
