Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 242 Still Want General Yi
This time the two sides fought, Han Wei's failure was entirely due to his arrogance.

If he hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't be like this now.

Fortunately, Songtsan Gampo did not follow Tamuka's advice, otherwise, Songzhou City would have fallen and fell into the hands of Songtsan Gampo!
Seeing that Songtsan Gampo didn't listen to the suggestion, Ta Mucha said, "Zanpu, if we wait like this, there will be many changes, and it will be bad for us, Tubo!"

Songtsan Gampo smiled, and said: "Don't worry, I, Tubo, vowed to travel all over the Great Tang area and turn it into a vassal state of my Tubo. Whenever reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive, that's the reason. But the fact , there will be no change."

The Tang soldiers stationed in Songzhou City have always been worried about the Tubo soldiers attacking the city.

In that case, Songzhou City is bound to fall!
Because, the current Han Wei is like a shrinking tortoise, staying in the room all the time, not daring to come out!
Regarding the situation that day, everyone also understood that Han Wei was frightened into a fool!

Now, they can only pray to Songtsen Gampo not to attack the city.

And Songtsan Gampo cooperated very well, so he really didn't attack the city.

This really made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty feel very lucky.

Han Wei's request for reinforcements was quickly delivered to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the contents of the document and was furious.

"This Han Wei, what did he do? He actually gave me a big defeat. He really deserves to die."

What's more, Li Shimin was angry that Tubo had taken over Tang's vassal state like this.

Li Shimin held the document in his hand, and immediately said: "Call the ministers and go to court urgently!"

Liu Renyuan, Wang De and others immediately prepared non-stop.

That night, Li Shimin called a group of ministers to gather in the palace to discuss the matter.

Li Shimin looked at all the ministers and said: "My love, ever since Tubo sent people to propose marriage last time, and the envoy was killed by us, Tubo has been holding a grudge. Not long ago, Tubo even captured my territory affiliated to the Tang Dynasty. Dangxiang, Bailan and Tuyuhun."

"But now, Tubo is encircling Songzhou, a heavy city in the west of the Tang Dynasty. Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, led his troops to fight Songtsen Gampo, and they were defeated!"

When Li Shimin said this, he felt very uncomfortable.

"This is a document from Han Wei, governor of Songzhou City, asking me to send troops for support. What do you think about this matter?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Yi Yin must be summoned for this matter."

Du Lun also said: "That's right, Your Majesty, back then Yi Yin led two hundred soldiers to take down Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, but now, Tubo is so powerful, it must be General Yi in this battle!"

"Nowadays, the development of Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more inseparable from Yi Yin. I think that if I send Yi Yin, I'm afraid it will delay what they are doing."

Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, now Tubo has occupied Dangxiang, Bailan and Tuyuhun, which are affiliated to the Tang Dynasty. The situation is very serious and the situation is very urgent. Han Wei may not be able to hold on to Songzhou City. The loss of Songzhou City will be very unfavorable to Tang Dynasty! The most urgent task is to send capable generals to Songzhou City to defeat Tubo."

"Now, the most powerful person in my Tang Dynasty is Yi Yin. This matter must belong to him!"

"Now, General Qin has left us. General Li Jing is old. General Li Shiji and General Cheng Zhijie are both in their fiefs and cannot be transferred. There is still one person in the court who can take up this position." Wei Zheng remonstrated road.

"Who else?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and asked.

"Hou Junji, General Hou." Wei Zheng replied.

Li Shimin asked quickly: "Where is General Hou?"

"On the way here, we should be here soon." Wang De reported quickly.

At this moment, Hou Jun gathered in the court hall.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and said: "General Hou, Tubo has invaded our Great Tang area, Songzhou City is now urgently asking for help, I am going to send you there, what do you think?"

Hou Junji heard the words and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the general is willing to go, but the general thinks that it is best for General Yi to take us there and take down Tubo in one fell swoop."

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and said, "Why must General Yi be chosen?"

Hou Junji said: "General Yi's combat deployment is very ingenious, and his weapons are invincible. With him around, defeating Tubo is by no means a problem."

"Your Majesty, without the leadership of General Yi, everyone has no confidence in their hearts. Only when General Yi goes can we guarantee a triumphant return."

Li Shimin heard the words and said: "In this case, Yi Yin has to go."

Hou Junji nodded and said, "With General Yi leading him, no matter who goes with him, he will definitely win."

"In that case, let's invite General Yi to come." Li Shimin said.

Yi Yin never expected that when he was sleeping soundly with Princess Changle and Li Feifei in the middle of the night, he would receive an order from the emperor.

This time, even Princess Changle was not satisfied.

"What's the name of this father? You are sleeping soundly. If you insist on sending you to the palace, why can't you talk about it tomorrow! Now that you are hugging and sleeping soundly, I called you away. My sister and I feel empty and lonely!"

Li Feifei comforted: "Sister, maybe the emperor has something really important and is waiting for brother Yin! Otherwise, why would the emperor send someone to invite brother Yin at this time?"

Yi Yin heard the words, and said: "Beifei is still sensible. You all sleep well, and I will come as soon as I go."

"Let the old horse accompany you!" Princess Changle said looking at Yi Yin.

"It's okay, there are people from the palace with me, so don't worry." Yi Yin looked at Princess Changle and said, "It's so late now, the old horse must have already gone to sleep, he is not on night shift tonight, he will be on duty tomorrow!"

Yi Yin is so considerate!

"Sister, there will be no problem if Liu Renyuan's guards follow Brother Yin." Li Feifei said.

Yi Yin came out and followed Liu Renyuan out of the Yihe Garden, and then asked: "Old Liu, you came from the palace. You should know something about it, right?"

Liu Renyuan nodded and said, "Naturally."

Thinking of the emperor's order to give Yi Yin some air in advance, Liu Renyuan said, "General Yi, it's like this. The Tubo kingdom has captured the Dangxiang and Bailan tribes, which are affiliated to the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun, and is now attacking Songzhou. Governor Han Wei of Songzhou was defeated in front of Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo, and now he is huddled in Songzhou City, not daring to go out to fight! Now, Governor Han Wei’s request for reinforcements is placed in front of the emperor, and all the officials are waiting Now, the emperor is looking for you to discuss this matter."

Yi Yin was also very shocked when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Tubo would be so aggressive and dare to offend Datang like this.

"How is Han Wei?" Yi Yin looked at Liu Renyuan and asked.

"As far as this person is concerned, he is actually not bad, but his biggest weakness is arrogance."

Liu Renyuan said, "This time, Han Wei's failure is also related to his weakness."

"I heard that he used [-] troops to fight against Tubo's [-] troops, and he almost lost his life. Now he is terrified and huddled in the city. He dare not go out of the city to fight if anyone persuades him!"

Yi Yin smiled when he heard this.
