Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 169 Li Shimin Prepares to Invite Li Jing to the Battle
Although this is what he said, Li Shimin actually didn't know much about it. After all, the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks was so intense that Li Jing didn't choose to fight.

Luo Bin nodded when he heard the words, pursed his lips slightly and continued: "Your Majesty, it would be best if General Li Jing is willing to take command. If he is not willing, I still hope that Your Majesty can seriously consider my request."

"........."

Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was a bit overwhelmed, but now he can only nod reluctantly, "If it really comes to that time, I will seriously consider your request."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Bin responded, and then cupped his hands at Li Shimin, "With Your Majesty's words, I feel much more at ease, so I won't bother you any more, and I will leave first."

"it is good."

Li Shimin waved his hand at Luo Bin with a helpless expression on his face.

After Luo Bin left, Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows, and then said to the little eunuch behind him: "Call the auxiliary machine to come."

Changsun Wuji is famous for being a good dancer with long sleeves, so if he is brought along to lobby Li Jing this time, it might be more effective.

"Yes." The little eunuch responded and then left.

After a while, Changsun Wuji came over with a serious expression.

After all, this is an extraordinary period. Every time Li Shimin calls him, he has important national affairs to deal with, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji leaned over to Li Shimin, then raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty summoned his ministers here this time, but what's the matter with Turkic?"

"This time it has nothing to do with the Turks, it's Luo Bin who came to me." Li Shimin sighed, then frowned and said, "He came to ask me for a fight, and he wanted to sit in the state."

Changsun Wuji was startled when he heard the words, and immediately frowned and asked, "Does Your Majesty agree?"

"I didn't promise him." Li Shimin shook his head, and then replied.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed softly: "Your Majesty is right to do this. Now that the Turks have launched an attack on our Tang Dynasty, if Luo Bin went to Bingzhou to move What other thoughts, even join forces with the Turks to fight against my Tang Dynasty, then we will be hard to defend against!"

At this point, the crease between Changsun Wuji's eyebrows deepened a little, and then he continued: "And it's not that I'm being petty. I thought that if Luo Bin really wanted to fight against the Turks with the Tang Dynasty, he could hand over the Beiwei army. military power, rather than personally taking charge of the annexation of states."

"After all, he is a civil servant. He doesn't even have the skills to protect himself. He is even physically weak and has no strength to restrain a chicken. What's the use of someone like him?"

"Furthermore, Luo Bin's reputation among the people is too high now. If under such flattery, he really has thoughts that he shouldn't have, and plans to take advantage of the chaos of the war between Turks and Tang Dynasty to rise in Bingzhou, then I will The Tang Dynasty will surely perish."

Changsun Wuji's worry was exactly what Li Shimin thought. After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin strengthened his decision, frowned and nodded, "The auxiliary machine makes sense, and I also agree. I thought so, so I really didn’t agree to his request.”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin sighed again, and then rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, "But Luo Bin is too stubborn, and has never let go of this matter. I have no choice but to promise him that Li Jing will be in charge of the battle."

"Let Li Jing be in command?" Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the words, and then sighed softly, "But the last time the Turks and Datang fought so fiercely, General Li Jing didn't agree to be in command, so this time..."

As far as this is concerned, Changsun Wuji didn't say anything more. After all, Li Shimin should understand what he meant.

However, the two of them are also very puzzled about Li Jing's disagreement with the expedition. After all, Li Jing's contribution to Datang and his loyalty to Datang are well known, but now that it is the life and death of Datang, why does he Let it go?
"No matter what the result is, we have to give it a try, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed again, then got up and said: "Forget it, the auxiliary machine will accompany me for a while."

"Yes." Changsun Wuji replied without further words, nodded and followed Li Shimin to leave.

…………

Wuhou Mansion.

Luo Bin returned to the mansion with a solemn expression, and when he saw Dou Yinger coming towards him, his lips immediately pursed into a straight line.

"What was the result?" Dou Yinger raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked.

When Luo Bin heard this, the crease between his eyebrows deepened, and then he finally shook his head, "He did not agree."

"But I literally said everything, and he just didn't agree."

Dou Yinger seemed to have expected it long ago, nodded to Luo Bin and said, "Well, it's okay."

"Then what does Li Shimin want to do with Bingzhou?"

After hearing Dou Ying'er's words, Luo Bin was slightly startled, frowned and raised his eyes, "Why are you so calm?"

"Isn't that in line with your character?"

He originally thought that Dou Yinger would go crazy for a while, then doubt him, and finally threaten him.

Dou Ying'er touched her nose in embarrassment when she heard this, then glared at Luo Bin and said, "I am a very gentle woman, okay? My personality is so calm."

"........."

Luo Bin couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and gave Dou Yinger a meaningful look.

"Okay, don't look at me with such eyes." Dou Yinger waved her hand, then frowned and said: "This girl is a very understanding person."

"Before, I was a small belly and often blamed you. I will trust you more in the future."

Luo Bin pursed his lips slightly when he heard the words, and then glanced sideways at Xu Chen's direction.

Seeing this, Xu Chen also smiled and nodded to Luo Bin, and Luo Bin immediately understood.

Dou Ying'er has a rambunctious temperament and likes to get into trouble. If no one enlightens her about some things, she may never understand them in her life.

Obviously, Xu Chen was the one who called Dou Yinger.

After receiving Xu Chen's affirmation, Luo Bin just breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyebrows at Dou Yinger and said, "That's good."

After saying that, Luo Bin smacked his lips again, and then explained: "Although Li Shimin refused to let me go out, he promised to invite Li Jing out of the mountain."

"Li Jing is a leader in arranging troops, and he is far superior to me in using soldiers like a god. He is known as the god of war in the Tang Dynasty. If he agrees to take command and go north, our chances of winning this battle will increase by a few points. "

At this point, Luo Bin pursed his lips and added again: "And Li Shimin also promised me that if Li Jing does not agree to take command and go north, he will carefully consider my request today."

"We can still take command and march north by then."
