Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 143
"Now is not the time to talk about these things, what should we do?" Dou Yinger interrupted Luo Bin impatiently, frowning.

"The court will not be unaware of such a big matter, let's see what the court does first."

Luo Bin pursed his lips slightly, and then continued: "After all, if Li Shimin disagrees, there is nothing we can do about it. Using military force without permission is a capital offense."

Even if the Beiwei army was his private soldier, Luo Bin still didn't dare to mobilize at will, for fear of arousing Li Shimin's suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble.

Wei Renyou frowned when he heard the words, and then raised his eyebrows and said: "Now, Lord Hou is still thinking about Emperor Tang?"

"Before, the Marquis always said that he refused to take action before the time came. Now that the Turks are about to attack the Tang Dynasty, what are the Marquis waiting for?"

Speaking of this, Wei Renyou's complexion became a bit darker, "Let me say something that is not very nice, anyway, Lord Hou is going to oppose it, so it doesn't make any difference sooner or later."

Hearing this, other members of the Xia King's old tribe also echoed: "That's right, if the Marquis doesn't rebel against the Tang Dynasty, he will become a Turk."

"Li Shimin is nothing. What else do you expect him to do? Thank God if he doesn't hold back by then."

"Master Hou, what are you waiting for? We can't afford to drag it on."

Seeing this, Dou Yinger frowned, "Enough!"

"You guys have been talking here, can you please let me explain?"

Dou Yinger looked up at Luo Bin again, then pursed her lips and said, "Don't be angry, they don't have any evil intentions."

"After all, we have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I have been listening to you before, but if we can continue now, it is very likely that there will be no results."

"After all, you know the situation in the Tang Dynasty right now. If the two soldiers fight with Li Shimin's timid character, it is basically impossible for us to win."

"Do you want to just sit and watch the unscrupulous Turkic soldiers invade Tang Dynasty?"

Luo Bin sighed deeply when he heard this, with a bit of confusion on his face.

It took a long time before he sighed deeply and said, "You keep asking me what to do, so what do you want to do?"

"Do you want me to send troops to resist the Turks? Get rid of it, don't make trouble, my Beiwei army has a total of 3000 people, plus some of the smallpox consumption before, now there are only more than 2000 people, plus you, the old troops of King Xia, the total strength Adding up, I’m afraid there will be less than 4000 people.”

"Do you want me to use these 4000 people to fight against the Turks' tens of thousands or even 10,000+ troops?"

Speaking of this, Luo Bin's eyes also had a bit of anger, and then continued: "Yes, you are not afraid of death, you are willing to sacrifice for Datang."

"It's the same with my Beiwei army. Haven't they sacrificed too much for Datang?"

"But is it a matter of fighting or not now? Even if I listen to your troops, what then? We are not enough for the Turks to stick their teeth. When the time comes, all our troops will be lost on the Turks, and we will have to fight again." How to fight against Li Shimin?"

"Do you still want to take revenge? If so, what revenge are you going to take!"

"Go and lead the battle for Li Shimin, and let Li Shimin reap the benefits after we are all sacrificed? Can you secure Li Tang's country without any effort? Are you willing!"

As soon as Luo Bin said this, everyone fell silent.

Even the favorite generals just mentioned looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After all, they had to admit that everything Luo Bin said was reasonable.

After a long time, Wei Renyou frowned again and said, "Then shall we just sit and wait for death?"

"Of course not." Luo Bin pursed his lips, and then said in a deep voice, "I've said it all, let's see what Li Shimin does first, and then we can make a decision."

"If he chooses to send troops, then we will be the ones who reap the benefits of the fisherman and succeed in taking the position without a single soldier!"

Wei Renyou frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then sighed softly: "This Li Shimin is naturally indecisive. When he has an idea, the day lily may be cold."

"........."

Luo Bin glanced at Wei Renyou speechlessly, then frowned and said, "Then do you have a better solution?"

Wei Renyou choked when asked, then frowned and said, "Even if we can't attack the Turks, what about Bingzhou?"

"Turks must pass through Bingzhou when they go south. This Bingzhou is under your jurisdiction, Lord Hou. You don't want to ignore it, do you?"

"Our experience is definitely not enough to protect the entire Tang Dynasty, but if we want to protect a Bingzhou state, it should be more than enough, right?"

Hearing this, Luo Bin's face darkened a bit, Wei Renyou clearly wanted to force him to send troops today.

And if he really sent troops without calling, he would openly oppose Li Shimin, and he would have to fight back if he didn't.

At that time, Datang will be full of internal and external troubles, and I am afraid that it will be even more precarious.

Thinking of this, Luo Bin finally sighed deeply, and then said: "I haven't thought about this matter yet, give me some time."

"Time? What we lack most now is time, and the Turkic soldiers will not give us time to prepare!"

The crease between Wei Renyou's eyebrows was a little deeper, and the eyes he looked at Luo Bin were a little more dissatisfied.

After all, he has lived in Turkic for many years, and he has the strongest hatred for Turkic.

"Besides, protecting Bingzhou is something that Lord Hou can do. If Lord Hou is not willing to do so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you."

"Or, Master Hou didn't want to fight against Tang with me at all?"

Wei Renyou raised his voice when he said this, and looked at Luo Bin with a frown.

"Uncle Wei, don't be like this." The crease between Dou Yinger's eyebrows deepened a little, and she also looked at Luo Bin with some puzzlement.

After all, she knew very well how important Bingzhou was to Luo Bin, so she couldn't understand Luo Bin's hesitation now.

But when everyone questioned Luo Bin, she had to stand firm.

Hearing this, Luo Bin's face darkened a bit, then he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Don't even let me think about it?"

"Bingzhou is my fief, so I am more concerned about the situation there than anyone else! Bingzhou has nearly [-] soldiers guarding it, and General Hou Junji is in charge. There will be no danger in a short time."

"Let me think about what's wrong? If General Wei doesn't believe me, I can send someone myself!"

Luo Bin no longer tolerated it and looked at Wei Renyou with a frown, his aura was strong.

Wei Renyou was stunned when he saw this, and he was even angrier when he realized, "You! Don't think that you...

"Uncle Wei!"

Dou Yinger was afraid that Wei Renyou would say something more excessive, so she interrupted Wei Renyou directly, then stepped forward and smiled and said: "Uncle Wei, Lord Hou has always cared about Bingzhou, and now he has his own considerations in mind, so we will give him some time."
