Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 311
Seeing Li Chengdao's expression, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng felt something bad and quickly came up to ask.

"Your Majesty, what is the situation now?"

Li Chengdao didn't speak, but handed them the urgent report.

Li Shimin took the urgent report and read it quickly.

"Jieli Khan dispatched 20 troops to capture the border, and took the opportunity to plunder about [-] people from the Tang Dynasty and transport them back to Turkic as slaves. The old and the weak were slaughtered, and the methods were cruel!"

"Then Jieli personally led an army of 10,000+ to march southward, successively captured Shuozhou, Taiyuan and other important towns, and is now marching into Wugong City!"

After reading the urgent report, Li Shimin was already furious. The Turkic massacre of the people of the Tang Dynasty was cruel and outrageous.

At the same time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. The 10,000+ Turkic army is about to approach Chang'an, and there are only [-] forbidden troops in Chang'an city. Ten thousand.

6 people, how to fight against 10,000+ Turkic soldiers and strong generals?
After hearing the content of the urgent report, all civil and military officials were also angry at the Turkic atrocities.

"The Turkic barbarians, what a bunch of beasts! They actually committed such atrocious acts!"

"Not only plundered the people of my Tang Dynasty as slaves, but also massacred the city. Is this still a human thing?!"

"Damn! It's just too hateful! Such atrocities are simply heinous!"

……

The civil servants roared angrily, and there was only so much they could do at this time.

Because apart from their anger at the behavior of the Turks, all they have left is fear.

The Turkic army is coming soon!

In the end how to do? !

There are not as many soldiers as others, so they can't beat them!

At this time, I was completely panicked, and there was only one way I could think of.

"Your Majesty, why don't we evacuate first and leave the green hills behind, so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

"Your Majesty, why don't we ask for peace first, endure the anger for a while, and then wait for our soldiers to be strong before going to the Turkic homeland!"

"If it doesn't work, let's move the capital to Luoyang. There are criss-crossed hills and complex terrain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It should be able to withstand Turkic attacks!"

……

Their attention is either escaping or seeking peace.

Can't help but seem a little greedy for life and afraid of death.

In fact, it's not their fault, the main reason is that the strength of the two sides is too great now, and it is basically hopeless to confront them head-on.

Why make a fearless sacrifice when there is no hope?
The military commanders are more passionate, and the Turkic barbarians are all fighting at the door, how can this be tolerated?
Cheng Yaojin told Li Chengdao.

"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, have requested to go to war. I am going to kill these sons of bitches!"

Yu Chigong and Li Jing also asked for a fight.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians are approaching the capital of the Tang Dynasty. If we withdraw, we will become the laughing stock of the whole world! Li Jing requests to fight!"

"I, Wei Chigong, is a warrior. Your Majesty, as long as you say a word, I will rush forward and fight the barbarians to the end, and I will never back down!"

The generals are full of enthusiasm, they all broke out from the dead, and they have already put life and death behind them.

As a general, it is their belief to go to battle and kill the enemy.

But the civil servants did not agree with them at all.

"reckless!"

"A bunch of fools!"

"Knowing that you are invincible, but still rushing forward, isn't this sending you to death?"

"In ancient times, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, slept on his salary and tasted his courage. Only a gentleman should know the current affairs. 30 years to the east of Hedong and 30 years to west of Hexi. It will not be too late to take revenge in the future!"

"And do you want His Majesty to be in danger with you? Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, how can you put yourself in danger? Can you take responsibility if something happens?!"

The generals sneered at them.

"A group of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

At present, the court is divided into two factions with different views.

One is the main combat faction headed by generals, and the other is the avoidance faction headed by civilian officials.

For a while, there was a dispute in the court.

It seemed a little noisy.

Civil servant: "A bunch of reckless people!"

General: "Greed for life and fear death!"

Civilian: "What's the point of sending someone to die?"

General: "You know what!"

Civilian: "The court is uttering wild words, please do it yourself!"

……

At this time, Li Chengdao interrupted them with a loud shout.

"Give me peace!"

They were still in awe of Li Chengdao.

They shut up immediately when they heard the sound and stopped arguing.

Instead, they all looked at Li Chengdao.

In fact, it is useless no matter how they argue, the final result still depends on Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao already had an idea in his mind, but he still wanted to hear what Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had to say.

"Left King, Right King, talk about your opinions."

Li Jiancheng said.

"Your Majesty, I think we should avoid the battle and retreat first. After all, the strength gap between the enemy and us is too great, and our chances of victory are very small. If the Turks break into Chang'an by then, the consequences will be disastrous!"

He actually had a point.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, so it is unwise to choose toughness.

Li Jiancheng was not afraid of death, but he was worried that if Li Chengdao and his people fell into the hands of the Turks, the Tang Dynasty would fall apart without the Turks sending troops.

But Li Shimin has a different point of view from him.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we can escape. The Turkic barbarians are just a bunch of wild dogs that bully the weak and fear the strong. The more afraid we show, the more arrogant they will become!"

"Only if we are neither humble nor overbearing, and have the determination to fight to the death, will they be afraid of me, Datang."

Li Chengdao nodded and asked.

"Then You Wang meant to fight the Turks?!"

Listening to Li Chengdao's question, Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then said.

"Your Majesty, our military strength is indeed very different from that of the Turks. It is indeed not wise to be tough with them."

"I feel that we will not retreat, but we will not take the initiative to fight the Turks."

"Jie Li is suspicious by nature. We can set up a trick to make him mistakenly believe that we in Chang'an have more soldiers and horses than him, and that all of them are strong soldiers and horses, so that he will feel guilty and retreat."

"Besides, the Turks are nomads. They are not interested in the land in agricultural areas. They are only interested in the wealth of the Tang Dynasty. So when we send them some treasures and food, they will definitely retreat!"

Li Shimin's thoughts are almost in line with the measures he has taken in history.

But Li Chengdao didn't think so.

Because doing so is not his style, there is no such word as compromise in his dictionary.

How can I be frightened by the Turkic barbarians when I am a great Tang Dynasty?

He asked Li Shimin.

"If I immediately dispatch the army to rescue you, will it be too late?"

Li Shimin shook his head with an ugly expression.

"It's too late. The Turkic army is expected to arrive at Chang'an City in about two days. Now it is estimated that it will take two days to send military orders to the garrisons everywhere, and it will take at least ten days for them to arrive in Chang'an!"

"It is estimated that it will take half a month to add up, but with our current strength, it is difficult to resist for half a month!"

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Chengdao nodded, and he agreed with Li Shimin's statement.

Now that the army hastily dispatched to come, it is obviously too late.
