Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

The Tang Dynasty also had the idea of ​​destroying the Turks, but the country was just established, and a lot of things were waiting to be rebuilt, and many things could not be done.

What they didn't expect was that Jieli dared to attack Datang first.

Li Shimin was even more shocked, Jieli would really march south, that fortune teller was so powerful!

"Hmph! The mere barbarians dare to invade our Great Tang."

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an order to lead the troops to Jingyang to lie down. I want to see how capable that old Jieli thief is!"

Cheng Yaojin yelled and said, almost unable to bear his violent temper, he wished he could kill Xieli immediately.

"Your Majesty, I also petition to go to Jingyang to kill the Turks."

Yuchi Jingde stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Turks... are not so easy to repel."

Li Ji shook his head and said, "How many troops do we have in Chang'an?"

Cheng Yaojin and others fell silent at the same time.

In the end, it was Li Jing who first said: "Chang'an has less than 2 guards. If you want to divide your troops to go north, it's good to be able to stop the Turks. If you can't stop them, you will lose troops and lose your generals, and Chang'an will be empty. When the Turkic soldiers approach the city , Chang'an is in danger."

Tang continued the military policy of the Sui Dynasty, and used the Fubing system. The Fubing was usually a farmer who cultivated the land, trained during the farm break, and joined the army to fight in wartime.

The Tang Dynasty had just ended the war, and the government soldiers gradually retreated to the various state capitals. The Turks came fiercely, and it was almost impossible to gather in Chang'an within a few days.

This is also the most embarrassing place in Chang'an at present.

Hearing Li Jing's words, the atmosphere in Ganlu Hall became very depressed, and everyone's breathing became heavy.

"If the Turks go north without dividing their forces, the Turks will be even more unscrupulous. What should they do when they reach Chang'an?" Fang Xuanling said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, I only need 5000 people to go north to stop the Turkic people for Chang'an. I hope we can fight for a while longer." Yuchi Jingde said again.

Li Shimin clenched his hands tightly into fists, and kept thinking in his heart, is it true that my Tang Dynasty really wants to perish in the second generation?

No, the fortune teller said, my Great Tang can last forever!

There must be a way!

His mind was in a mess, but he couldn't think of anything.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't respond, Yuchi Jingde said again.

Li Shimin came back to his senses, recalling Yuchi Jingde's words, the only thing he could do now was to say loudly: "Yuchi Jingde obeys the order, I order you to take 5000 people to Jingyang, and delay the Turkic army going south as much as possible."

"The minister takes orders!"

Yuchi Jingde said immediately.

"Li Jing!"

Li Shimin said again.

"Chen is here!"

Li Jing cupped his hands and said.

"Go to Binzhou immediately, integrate all the troops in the surrounding states and counties, and attack the Turkic army in Jingzhou from the west."

Li Shimin knew that with Yuchi Jingde's strength alone, it would be difficult to shake Jieli Khan.

Half of the country in the Tang Dynasty was returned by Li Shimin, and he was also very clear about the geographical location near Chang'an, so he immediately made corresponding arrangements.

This was also the only arrangement he could make, even soldiers and horses could not be taken away by Li Jing, the rest of the people had to stay in Chang'an and guard Chang'an.

"The minister takes orders!"

Li Jing said loudly.

The military situation was urgent, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde did not dare to neglect, and immediately left the Ganlu Palace.

"Tell me the order to gather the government soldiers from all the state capitals as soon as possible, and come to Chang'an!" Li Shimin said again.

However, making such an arrangement is far from enough.

How could the 20 troops of Jieli Khan be able to compete with the thousands of Yuchi Jingde?

Li Shimin just stretched his brows, and then wrinkled them together tightly.

"Do you have other ways to fight the enemy?"

Li Shimin asked loudly.

Du Ruhui and the others all frowned.

When everyone was silent, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, you still remember that the fortune teller in Xishi said that Tang Dynasty will be safe and sound, maybe he has a way."

fortune teller?

Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji curiously.

"Duke Qi said, could it be the fortune teller in Chang'an West City?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Yi'an's reputation in Chang'an is still a little bit, although there is no way to mix into the circle of powerful people, but it is not a problem for some powerful people to remember his name.

"It's this man!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "He used to calculate the fate of the Tang Dynasty for His Majesty. Before the urgent letter came, he was the one who told His Majesty about the Turkic rebellion. Whether it was the crisis in Gaoling or Jingyang, he was right."

"Your Majesty, how can you believe a fortune teller?"

Behind Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng immediately retorted.

He was originally Li Jiancheng's man, not long after he surrendered, and now he is only the master of Zhan affairs, and he has not yet reached the time of Wei Xiang.

Wei Zheng continued: "How can a fortune-teller decide on major national affairs? Your Majesty's actions will cause irreparable consequences. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others thought it was reasonable.

Their current situation is getting more and more critical. If they put their hopes on a fortune teller, what is the difference between this and suicide?

"The minister believes that there is no way to deal with the Turks."
