Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 165 Luo Bin Decides to Return to Bingzhou

The crowd chattered about their dissatisfaction with Goguryeo, and Li Shimin's head was doubled by their quarrel.

"okay."

Li Shimin growled, then frowned and said, "So what do you think of the proposal I just made?"

"Hurry up if you have any comments. If you don't have any comments, we will proceed like this."

Although this is a dangerous move, at least there is still a possibility of survival. If they don't take this step, they may be completely dead.

"At this point, this method is the only one that is still feasible." Tang Jian frowned slightly, then raised his eyes and said, "But your Majesty must not be overly aggressive when writing the letter."

"Let's study this letter together with me." Li Shimin nodded, and then said.

After all, there are many civil servants here, and it is probably not difficult for these few people to get together to study a letter that they yearn for.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

"As for Goguryeo's troops, we can backstab the Turks together with Youzhou's marching chief. What do you guys think?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked.

"Very good." Yu Chigong nodded upon hearing the words, "Under such back and forth attacks, the Turks certainly cannot take care of all of them. At the same time, they can also isolate their reinforcements and escape route."

"As long as Goguryeo is willing to lend us troops, everything will be fine."

After all, although Goguryeo is a small country, its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

No matter how strong the Turkic troops are, they have lost a lot in the Battle of Weishui after all.

No matter how strong they are today, it is impossible for them to beat Goguryeo and Datang together.

"Okay, I'll bother you to study the letter more for your convenience." Li Shimin nodded, and then responded in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best." Fang Xuanling leaned slightly towards Li Shimin, and then said.

After all, Datang is also their country, not to mention that they still have such a status in Datang, so they are naturally reluctant to let him be ruined.

the other side.

Wuhou Mansion.

At the same time, Luo Bin also received a letter from Beiwei Army.

After seeing the letter, his eyes shrank, his face was a little complicated, and there was a bit of pain in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Dou Yinger frowned, then quickly got up as if thinking of something, and said, "But the letter from Bingzhou? What did you say?"

Hearing this, Xu Chen raised his eyes slightly, with a bit of concern in his eyes.

Luo Bin nodded, then sighed softly and said, "It's a letter from the Beiwei Army guarding Bingzhou."

"They said that the Turks had gone to harass Bingzhou because Hou Junji had offended the aristocratic families and wealthy merchants so much that no one was willing to give them war horses or food. Hou Junji only sent a thousand cavalry and a thousand Turk soldiers to fight, resulting in lost heavily."

Luo Bin said, his tone a little solemn.

Although it wasn't his Beiwei army who died, it was also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm afraid that the Turks have figured out Bingzhou's true and false status in this battle. They will lead a fierce attack next. I'm afraid General Hou won't be able to hold on for long." Xu Chen said in a deep voice with the crease between his brows deepening a little deeper.

Luo Bin nodded when he heard the words, and added, pursing his lips: "A lot of Hou Junji's war horses have died now, and most of the rest are infantry without horses. They really can't fight against the Turks."

"And they don't have enough food and grass. Even if the Turks surrounded the city gate, they would starve to death."

Dou Yinger on the side frowned when she heard the words, and asked with pursed lips, "Will those aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen really watch the soldiers of Bingzhou starve to death in front of them?"

"Without these guards, I'm afraid they will only be slaughtered!"

After hearing Dou Yinger's words, Luo Bin chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "You overestimate human nature."

"No matter how cruel the Turks are, they will not massacre the city. For many people, even if it is broken, it is nothing more than changing personal management. They should live or live."

"But if all the money and food are given to the soldiers, once the Tang army is defeated, they can only go to drink the northwest wind."

After speaking, Luo Bin sighed again, shook his head and said: "In this world, there are too few people who truly have righteousness in their hearts and are full of family and country feelings. Most people are selfish."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, he doesn't seem to have the right to call them selfish.

After all, it has always been human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and most people only consider collective interests when their personal interests are guaranteed.

Xu Chen who was on the side also frowned slightly when he heard the words, his eyes were somewhat complicated.

Ask yourself, if he hadn't decided to follow Luo Bin, he probably wouldn't have cared about this matter.

After all, I am lucky to be able to survive in the troubled times, so where do I get the experience to manage others?

"So the desperate protection of those soldiers, is our desperate protection really worth it..."

Dou Yinger lowered her eyes slightly, with a bit of unwillingness on her face.

If it was as Luo Bin said, how stupid would it be for them to sacrifice their lives blindly?

"For ourselves."

Luo Bin saw the emotion in Dou Yinger's eyes, then patted Dou Yinger's shoulder, and comforted softly: "The object we sacrifice our lives to protect is our country and our home."

"It's just that we happen to be in the same family as those people, but we can't give up protecting our own home just because other people don't cooperate..."

Dou Yinger's eyelashes trembled slightly when she heard the words, then she nodded, "Well, we want to protect our country."

After saying that, Dou Yinger frowned, raised her eyes and said, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"It will take time for the letter from Bingzhou to reach the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that the Turks have attacked Bingzhou many times now. If you do nothing again, Bingzhou may be destroyed!"

There was a bit of urgency in Dou Yinger's voice, her eyes were fixed on Luo Bin, forcing him to make a decision.

"Luo Bin, we don't have time for you to analyze the pros and cons now, I'll ask you now, it doesn't matter whether you will save or not!"

If Luo Bin doesn't even care about Bingzhou, which he has been guarding, it is enough to show his cold blood, then Dou Yinger may have to seriously consider whether she is following the Ming Lord.

Xu Chen, who was on the side, slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Master Marquis, the time has almost come."

After all, they just want to let the people and soldiers of Bingzhou know the importance of Luo Bin, instead of giving up on them directly.

Luo Bin nodded when he heard the words, "I see, I will go to the palace to challenge His Majesty."

"Will Li Shimin agree?" Dou Yinger frowned and asked.

After all, Li Shimin's fear of Luo Bin is well known, so I'm afraid he won't let Luo Bin go.
