Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 270 The Last Hope
Secret letter?

Some curiously took a look at the letter in the scout's hand, and Li Shimin was puzzled.

Even if Li Jing guessed about the increase in troops, why did he need to issue another letter?
"Submit."

Eunuch Rong moved when he heard the sound, moved over and took the letter up, seeing Li Shimin nod his head slightly, opened the sealant himself, and began to read.

In the silent hall, a long and slightly sharp voice sounded slowly.

"The frontier was invaded by bandits, and it was in turmoil. The barbarian bandits are arrogant and domineering, and the humble minister is extremely worried."

"The dog Li Xian volunteered to lead a hundred cavalry to go deep, involving Di Rong. When the army enters, the dangerous situation at the western frontier will be resolved."

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, just settle the imperial city and maintain the stability of the people."

As soon as the voice fell, the entire court erupted.

Quite a number of courtiers looked anxiously and worriedly, and started discussing around.

"How can this be done? How old is this boy, and he wants to use hundreds of soldiers to drag the vast army of barbarians? Isn't this just a joke?"

"The wild cavalry moved eastward this time, and they came here to report the aura of killing. Where is the opponent of the hundred people hundreds of times the wild cavalry?"

"A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It's amazing that Li Xian has such courage. Alas, he overestimated his ability."

"What kind of calf, just a kid who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. This is what is tested in marching and fighting? Don't make people laugh!"

The reprimands from around became louder and louder, Fang Xuanling frowned, strode out of the queue, arched the wat board and bowed towards the dragon seat.

"Your Majesty, Li Xian has always had fantastic ideas and made many miraculous things. However, marching and fighting wars are not child's play, not to mention military deployment, what is more important is experience."

"The barbarians are cruel by nature and drink blood like hair. Most of these uncivilized people will plunder and wreak havoc on the border. If there is a little more delay, more innocent people will die."

"Your Majesty thinks that if His Majesty makes a decisive decision and sends troops to help, it will also be able to link the pressure of [-] soldiers on the front line."

Ah.

A sneer came from the general's side.

Chai Shao, who was one of the great generals of the Zhen Kingdom, felt annoyed when he saw Fang Xuanling intervening in the war, a look of disdain flashed across his majestic face, and he slowly came out with his silver hair shaking.

"I have been sick for a long time, and now I can return to the court. Unexpectedly, the civil servants are in charge of the frontier war?"

"Dare to ask Duke Liang, when did the war become the strong point of civil servants? Could it be that you are questioning Duke Wei's ability to march and fight?"

"Young leaders have such ambitions, why don't they praise and praise them, instead relying on their authority to suppress them behind their backs?"

In fact, Chai Shao had heard a lot about Li Xian's deeds when he was recovering from his illness. Apart from his praise, he was more curious about this person.

Therefore, at this time, on the one hand, it is for this whimsical young man, and on the other hand, it is to set an example for the young and middle-aged generals of the court.

Since ancient times, civil and military disputes have been the norm in the court.

The eldest grandson Wuji, the head of civil servants, saw Fang Xuanling deflated, and was naturally displeased. He glanced at the figure standing upright with his hands behind his back, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Duke Qiao, I've been ill for a long time and I should understand the facts well."

"What Li Xian has done shows that this person has indeed made great feats of strengthening the country, but most of them are biased towards governance. If you want to build a military force, it is better to start from scratch."

"Nowadays, the western border is wide open, and the barbarians have entered the land of no one. If the support is slow, how many refugees will there be on the border? How do those displaced people think about the delay in seeing reinforcements? You let the son in the imperial city How did the people say it?"

"Public opinion is down, you, can you take the responsibility?"

Concerned about his eldest grandson Wuji's status as a royal family, Chai Shao was overwhelmed by the momentum, and he was quite apologetic when faced with aggressive words.

"My lord, grandson, you are too serious."

Gao Shilian raised his head and arched his arms towards Changsun Wuji.

"It is the Duke of Wei's promise that what the court should do is to suppress this matter, and properly deal with the resettlement of the refugees is the key point."

The four people in the hall each occupy one side, faintly sparking sparks in the hall.

"All right!"

Li Shimin raised his arm slowly, suppressing the noise.

"This is the end of the matter."

"According to my decree, the Longyou Camp will mobilize [-] troops to prepare for war!"

……

The sunset in the desert, the distant mountains stretch.

A few sparsely populated villages came out, and the red and yellow scene is really too desolate.

Breathing the breath of sand and gravel, it is inexplicably a little choking.A corner of the skirt was torn out, covering the mouth and nose, and a team of one hundred people continued to gallop across the vast wilderness.

"Brother Li, will that group of people favor us?"

Qin Huaidao was a little worried, so he galloped up to catch up with the leader Li Xian and asked.

Even Cheng Chumo, who has stayed on the border for several years, can't help but feel a little confused when he looks at the sun that hasn't moved much in the sky.

In the hinterland of the desert, where the sea of ​​sand is boundless, the direction becomes a problem.

Cheng Chumo also looked at the figure in front of him in doubt, and asked aloud.

"Yeah, I have been guarding the border for a long time, but I have never been in the depths of the desert. Now it seems that I still think less."

"Last night's hanging sword to fetch water, and today's stick stick identification, really opened my eyes."

"It's just this land of the Western Regions. Does this method of identifying directions still work?"

Cheng Chumo couldn't figure out what Li Xian meant by making troubles like this, but there seemed to be something mysterious in the dark, and he looked quite powerful.

With the whistling wind in his ear, and a slight smile on his face covered by the placket, Li Xian said calmly.

"Hehe, it's just some tricks, it's not a card."

"However, speaking of it, after passing through the hinterland of the desert and arriving in the western frontier, I still need Brother Cheng's help."

"The guerrilla tactics in the future will depend on Brother Cheng."

"Guerrilla?"

Bumping on their horses, the two looked at each other in blank dismay, with a hint of astonishment in their expressions.

It turns out that brother Li really has some skills in using soldiers.

Cheng Chu looked silently at the figure beside him and asked aloud.

"Brother Li? This...is this tactic...workable?"

"It works!"

Li Xian didn't even think about it, he turned his head and answered.

"There was once a person who was able to rise in the chaotic world, overcame all obstacles, and achieved unification."

"Today we can emulate this person. Even if we don't have that ability, it would be great if we can stabilize the situation in the West Frontier."

As for the specifics, the two of them didn't want to ask any more.

In offline terms, it is useless to talk too much.

Just as he was about to urge everyone to go on the road again, a single person rode in the opposite direction in front of his eyes.

The scattered scouts rushed to the front of the team, reined in their horses, smoke and dust flew up and raised their arms.

"Li Canjun, General Cheng, the big drum team is coming."

"It seems, it seems that they are some refugees."

Refugees?

The faces of the three of them changed suddenly, and they frowned at the same time.

"The western frontier has been disturbed, and I didn't expect to see traces of refugees in this arm."

After picking up the words, Li Xian waved his arm.

"Go, go and ask, maybe you can find out some reasons."

"If it's not as expected, the speed of the barbarians may be far beyond our imagination!"

"That's a bad sign."
