Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 212 Negotiation
"My minister seconded the proposal! In addition, I suggested dispatching reinforcements to Yumen Pass." Du Ruhui also came out and seconded.

"But I just received the news that the Huns in the Northeast and the Eastern Turks in the Shuofang Grassland are about to move because of the winter snowstorm." Li Shimin said in embarrassment.

"There is no shortage of masters in Yizhou, but there are not many soldiers, so we can transfer troops instead of generals." Li Jing suggested.

"How many people do Duke Wei think is suitable? And who should lead the troops there?" Li Shimin naturally believed in Li Jing's judgment, and asked immediately.

"From the perspective of the veterans, it is better to send [-] soldiers. As for the leaders, it is better to send another group of young people." Li Jing suggested. As for who will lead the soldiers, he did not explain. Offend.

It doesn't look good to recommend anyone, and I worry about Li Shimin thinking too much.

"Father! I would like to go to Yizhou!" Li Tai in front said with clasped fists.

"My son is willing to go, of course it's great. As for the accompanying person, young people below the heaven level, you can choose whatever you want." Li Shimin nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Yes! I understand! I want Qin Huaiyu, Li Chonghui, Li Deju, as long as there are Qu Tuquan and Qu Tushou brothers." Li Tai immediately put on the list.

"Jiang Guogong is old, and Qu Tushou is also in Luoyang, so there is no need to go. Others can do as you wish." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

"Thank you, Father! My son will definitely fulfill his mission." Li Tai replied happily.

"However, Tai'er must remember that when he goes to Yizhou, he will personally escort the belongings back to Chang'an. He is not allowed to stay on the way, let alone interfere with local military and government affairs." Li Shimin urged.

"It's my servant who obeys the order!" Li Tai just let him go, he doesn't care if there is a war or not, anyway, it's better than sitting in Chang'an.

"Now let's discuss the issue of the Eastern Turks, which is also about to take action. Whether they have the possibility of getting along with the Western Turks, and that's why they want to send troops together." Li Shimin asked another question.

"I don't think so. Turkic has not yet appeared. Such a courageous person." Everyone was thinking about it, and finally Fang Xuanling came out and said.

"Although there are not only opportunities, but just in case, the Ministry of War immediately ordered to strengthen the guard and pay close attention!"

…………

The next day, what happened in Yizhou spread throughout Chang'an, and almost all the nobles knew that there was a county governor, Situ Changfeng, who was about to become a new rich man.

After all, Li Shimin won the wealth that can rival the country. With Li Shimin's nature of rewarding every meritorious deed, he can't escape the heavy reward. It's just that he hasn't returned to Chang'an yet, so there is no specific news yet.

The identity of Situ Changfeng at the Luoyang Martial Arts Academy was also well known to everyone. Not only did it add great prestige to the Martial Arts Academy, but they also knew that he was a very young general.

This made many people want to marry a daughter to him and tie him to their own family. Unfortunately, after inquiring, they found out that he was already engaged, and she was a daughter of the Zheng family. Although it was only a side branch, they could only envy Zheng Renji's good life.

Although the daughter has not joined the palace, it is still considered a good marriage.

Of course, many people secretly regretted that the wealth comparable to that accumulated by a thousand-year-old family was just handed over.

Compared with the commotion in Chang'an, the commotion in the Western Turks was even greater. Countless homeless herdsmen flocked to the tribes behind.

Si Yehu had just dispatched troops when he received the bad news. In a rage, he had no choice but to suspend dispatching troops and borrow food and troops from the countries in the Western Regions.

The countries in the Western Regions dared to reject the Turkic people who are large and powerful, whether it is money, food or soldiers, they will do so.

This made Si Yehu very satisfied. Although the dispatch time was delayed for two months, there were more troops, 50 main force, 20 Western Region coalition forces, and including logistics, the total number of troops was nearly one million.

Moreover, logistics is worry-free. The food provided by the Western Regions is enough for the army for several months, not to mention a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, which can be used as food supplements.

This is the characteristic of the nomadic people. When going on an expedition, they only need to catch up with cattle, sheep and horses, use their milk, and then fry the grain, so that they can eat while traveling, and consume very little grain.

…………

Time entered the end of April, and the Turkic coalition forces finally entered the Gobi Desert.

The scouts arranged by Situ Changfeng found them easily. The endless crowd that seemed to fill the Gobi Desert made the scouts turn pale with fright.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" There was a loud horn sound from the city of Yizhou.

The people who were busy were stunned for a moment, then they came to their senses and started to finish the work in an orderly manner, and then, under the command of the official, began to transport the things outside the city into the city.

"The scouts have found out that the Turks are already two hundred miles away! Tell us, what can we do?" Situ Changfeng gathered everyone and asked.

"I wonder if the sheriff can find out how many enemies there are?" Li Tai, who had just arrived in Yizhou, asked.

"I can't find out the details, but we know that there are at least 80 people." Situ Changfeng explained.

"Okay! Boy Situ, there are so many people here, but you have the most experience and the most flexible mind. Let me tell you your opinion first, and if it is feasible, I will do it." Hong Fu said impatiently.

"That's right, Junior Brother, just make up your mind. If there are too many people making up their minds, it may affect the unity." Xin Yue'e continued.

"Well, it's urgent, I'm not polite." Situ Changfeng knew that they were afraid that Li Tai would come suddenly and seize the command, so he nodded gratefully to the two of them.

"First of all! The prince must transport the property away, so that even if Yizhou falls, the loss will not be big." Situ Changfeng also knew that Li Tai would not compete for command over this. After all, they had cooperated once in Taiyuan, so he apologized to him later. He nodded and said.

"This..." Li Tai smiled and nodded slightly to express his understanding, but he hesitated after hearing Situ Changfeng's words.

"Please forgive me, my lord. If you don't leave, firstly, the belongings are not sent away, and everyone is under pressure. Second, because you are here, everyone can't let go. If you make any mistakes, none of us can afford it." Situ Changfeng explained seriously.

"Okay! This king will leave, but this king will only bring three hundred guards, and two thousand civilian husbands will leave." Li Tai nodded in agreement.

"There are too few people to guarantee safety!" Situ Changfeng quickly took over and said.

"It doesn't matter! This king is not a vegetarian, let alone entering Yumen Pass, this king will ask for reinforcements from the states and counties along the way. In addition, this king will personally write a letter to Father Emperor asking for reinforcements." Li Tai explained.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Without further ado, second and fourth sons, you will go and prepare for Your Majesty right away, and then send Him out of the city." Situ Changfeng said decisively.

"Okay, Governor Situ doesn't need to drive people away. This king keeps his word. He will definitely leave and won't stay behind to affect everyone." Li Tai said with a wry smile.

"Thank you for your hard work! When we return to Chang'an, we will be celebrating for you all!" Li Tai got up and cupped his hands to everyone.

"Respectfully send off the prince!" Everyone got up together and sent Li Tai out of the hall.
