Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

"Father, can you allow my son to express his opinion?"

This was the first time Li Wenbin spoke at such a serious meeting, and Li Shimin was a little surprised.

However, he nodded and agreed to Li Wenbin's request.

"Father, my son feels that it is a bit risky to send General Yuchi to take away most of the troops to resist the Turkic army in Jingyang."

"If Jieli Khan divides his troops to entangle General Yuchi and then goes straight to Chang'an, what should we do?"

"King Yidu, why do you have such an idea?"

Because this is a formal occasion, Yu Chigong also changed the name of Li Wenbin: "How could the Turkic barbarians have such thoughts? Their elm heads would never think so much. King Yidu, you worry too much." .”

There was a burst of laughter in the Hall of Xiande, not only Yu Chigong, but also Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others felt that Li Wenbin's idea was whimsical.

In their view, the Turkic barbarians are a group of idiots who hit the south wall and never know how to look back—either knock down the south wall or kill themselves.There is no third option.

Divide up and go south?

Haha, this is harder than getting Jie Li to stop drinking, right?

Li Shimin didn't laugh, because he knew that his son had been right in prophecy since the end of last year.

If it was an ordinary matter, Li Shimin would most likely choose to believe Li Wenbin's words, but this time it was a major matter in the army, and his generals tried their best to invite the battle, so he had to treat it with caution.

"Wen Bin, it's okay to say what you have in mind."

"This...Father, I don't have anything to say, I just think it's too risky for General Yuchi to go out of Jingyang."

"Then where do you think General Yuchi should defend against the enemy?"

Li Wenbin was dumb, and he didn't know what to say.

Could it be said directly, let Yuchigong wait for Jieli in Chang'an City?

What's more, with a glass of Weishui, those people in the south of Jingyang don't care?
Li Wenbin worried that if he said this, he would be treated as a national thief.

Seeing that his son hadn't made a sound for a long time, Li Shimin nodded and didn't take it seriously: After all, it's the first time, maybe he was too nervous, and he will be much better after going to the Cheng Yaojin Army to practice.

Yu Chigong patted Li Wenbin on the shoulder: "King Yidu, you are still young and need more experience. Hahaha!"

"By the way, let the brewery work overtime and prepare two thousand catties of knives for use in the army. There must be no mistakes."

Two thousand catties of burning knives?
I remember that drinking is not allowed in the military, right?

Are you going to take an alcohol bath or something?
"Uncle Yuchi, even if you kill my nephew for two thousand catties, my nephew won't be able to get it out. Up to three hundred catties, that's already the entire inventory of the distillery. There's really not even a drop left."

"And this wine is used to save lives, so don't use it to rinse your mouth and wash your stomach."

"Don't worry about this little prince, I know what's in my heart, and nothing will go wrong."

At the court meeting the next day, Li Shimin had to announce the matter in public, and this was the end of the process.

After the matter was discussed, everyone dispersed to prepare the army to go out and go to many matters.

Qin Qiong deliberately stayed behind, and when the crowd cleared up, he saw Li Wenbin walking towards him in a hurry: "Uncle Qin, what do you want to do with your nephew?"

"How do you know that the old man is waiting for you here?"

"Uncle Qin was the only one who didn't speak just now, and now he deliberately lags behind. Who else is he waiting for my nephew?"

"Okay, you're smart, you can predict everything. Then my little lord, let me ask you, how did you think that Xieli would divide his troops and go south?"

"My nephew didn't think of this at first, but just now I suddenly wondered why a greedy person like Jieli would bring Tuli little Khan to invade our Datang?"

"If Uncle Yuchi stops the Turkic army in Jingyang, if there is a stalemate, that's okay; but if Uncle Yuchi wins, Jieli will probably order Tuli Little Khan to lead some troops to stay and entangle Uncle Yuchi .”

"Then, he himself brought the troops of his headquarters to the south and headed straight for Chang'an."

"You mean, a plan to drive away tigers and eat wolves?"

"That's right, let Uncle Yuchi help him get rid of Tuli, the dissident, and reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

The more Qin Qiong thought about it, the more he felt that this matter might indeed happen.

If Xieli led the troops himself, maybe he couldn't divide the troops, but if he brought Tuli...

"No, the old man is going to find advice."

"Uncle Qin, it's useless if you go. My nephew has tried it just now, but it doesn't work at all."

"Hmph, the old man has been a soldier all his life, how can the weight of his words be compared with that of a doll like you?"

"My little nephew can't keep up with Uncle Qin even if he flatters you. Of course this little nephew understands, but his father has already issued an edict. Do you want him to change his order day and night?"

"If this is the case, the impact will be no less than Jieli's soldiers coming to the city."

What Li Wenbin said was very reasonable. The emperor could not contradict what he said.

Qin Qiong was alerted by his words, pondered for a long time, and sighed.

"Could it be that the old man can't just look at it like this?"

"No, Uncle Qin, there are many things waiting for you to do now. You are the right general of Jinwu, and you are responsible for the security of Chang'an. You should act immediately."

"Prepare the army, strengthen the city's defenses, and prepare supplies for the defense of the city. And you have to pay more attention to the law and order in the city. For those profiteers who are hoarding, they must be recorded in the register. When it is time to kill, you must kill a batch of them as a warning to others. And... Uncle Qin, why are you looking at my nephew like this?"

Qin Qiong stared at Li Wenbin for a long time with very strange eyes, and then said: "I think you are more suitable than the old man to be the general of the Jinwu Guard."

"How about this, since you are going to practice in the army anyway, how about you come to the old man's Jinwu Right Guard? I will save the position of General Zhonglang for you. What do you think?"

"Uncle Qin was joking, please act now. My nephew is going to get ready too."

……

On July 21, Li Shimin announced the invasion of the Turkic army at the court meeting, and ordered Yu Chigong to lead an army of [-] to go out to the expedition.

Three days later, Yuchi Gong sent a victory report: "Three thousand soldiers have been killed, our army has won a great victory."

Before there was time to celebrate, on July 25, Jieli's [-] troops approached the city of Chang'an.

After receiving the battle report from the front line, Li Shimin regretted it too much.

As expected, Jieli ordered Tuli Little Khan to lead an army of [-] to entangle Yuchigong to death, while he led his troops and horses, divided his troops to the south, and set up camp on the north bank of the Weishui River Bridge.

The imperial court declared martial law in the capital, Chang'an was shaken, and Datang was shaken.
