Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Xuanling, what do you think about this matter, especially about this military situation?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I also feel that what Master Changsun said is reasonable."

"This Li Jing's use of troops seems to be stable, but in reality it is unpredictable. It is best to use a slanted sword."

"The fact that he led only [-] elites to take advantage of the wind and snow to sneak attack on the Turkic king's tent is the best proof."

"And the handsome seal and font on the military situation are indeed from Li Jing's hand."

"There is no problem."

"That's why I feel that the reason why he dared to take such a big crime and mobilize troops must have really got a really good time."

Having said that, Fang Xuanling sighed lightly.

"Before, His Majesty and the imperial court agreed to the Turks' request to surrender. In fact, they knew that the current military strength and national conditions of our Tang Dynasty were not enough to deal with the Turks."

"If we continue to fight, we will only sink our army into a quagmire."

"At that time, the number of households in our Tang Dynasty will be even rarer, and the consumption of food, grass and money will be as heavy as a mountain."

"If the people don't live without talking, the national power will be further emptied."

"At that time, once the Western Turks, Tubo, Gaochang, and Liao people rebelled, it would be even worse for my Tang Dynasty."

"However, Youzhou and other state capitals on the side of the King of Peking are an exception."

"For several years in a row, they have had a bumper harvest of food, and they have recruited 60 to [-] refugees."

"It can be said that the army is strong, the food and grass are sufficient, and there are [-] elite soldiers in hand."

"If the timing is right, there are indeed conditions to fight the Turks."

"Nowadays, although we have little military information, we still can't see anything."

"But I feel that we should also make some emergency preparations."

Chapter 558 Dad, What Did You Say?

Regarding the military situation from Youzhou.

Although Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wang Gui insisted that it was Li Jing and Tang Jian who did it.

But who didn't know in their hearts, how could Li Jing and Tang Jian dare to resist the order?

It's clear that they are taking the blame for Li Qiu!

After leaving the court, Changsun Wuji's heart could not be calm for a long time, and he was very uncomfortable.

In Qingzhou before, after hearing Li Jing's analysis, Changsun Wuji felt as if he was holding a boulder in his heart.

Now, this boulder has finally come true and smashed into his head.

Li Qiu's move, although he has his own idea of ​​wanting to wipe out the Turks.

But there will definitely be, on my own side, as well as the relationship between Youle and Changsun Chong.

Especially the comforting words Li Qiu said to him the day before his departure, every time he thinks about it, he can't help but make Changsun Wuji feel distressed.

Li Qiu risked his wealth and life to resist the edict and attack the Turks.

He can't even take care of his wife who is about to give birth and his newborn child.

How big a friendship is this?

It's simply too big!

He was kind to Li Qiu in the past because he knew Li Qiu's identity.

He is Li Qiu's own uncle, his own sister's lost son.

But Li Qiu's affection for him is really from the heart.

The true love between people!

Just when Changsun Wuji came home temporarily, he happened to bump into Changsun Chong drunk again in the room.

Talking nonsense like this.

Ever since Princess Youle got married and left Chang'an City, this eldest Sun Chong didn't know how many times he got drunk.

In the past, Changsun Wuji felt sorry for his son and blamed himself for his incompetence. He always turned a blind eye and pretended he didn't see it.

But today, somehow, the fire in his heart is almost burning to the top of his head!

After walking a few steps quickly, he kicked open the door and came to Chang Sun Chong.

Before the drunk and dazed Chang Sun Chong wanted to speak, Chang Sun Wuji slapped him hard.

This force was so great that it staggered Changsun Chong directly.

"You useless bastard!"

"Aside from drinking, what else do you know to do?!"

"Why did my eldest grandson Wuji give birth to such a useless trash son like you?!"

Changsun Wuji's slap directly sobered up half of Changsun Chong's wine.

Then, the pain and grievance of losing Youle came to my heart again.

"Father, I also know that I am useless, or you can beat me to death!"

"It just occurred to me that Youle married the Turkic Grasslands, and married those barbarians, what kind of barbarian men."

"I left my hometown and was bullied by the Turks."

"My heart is as uncomfortable as being swallowed by thousands of ants."

"My child hates me so much!"

While speaking, Chang Sun Chong beat his head vigorously.

Seeing his self-defeating, weak and incompetent appearance, Changsun Wuji was even more angry.

He went up and kicked him several times heavily.

The commotion between the father and son naturally alarmed the family members.

Hastily pulled away Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji's wife and Changsun Chong's mother cried and persuaded at this time, "My lord, this child is also suffering in his heart now."

"Just let him take it easy for two days."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji still pointed at Changsun Chong and cursed in puzzlement, "My eldest grandson Wuji was a hero, how can there be such a useless and useless son like you?!"

"Your own fiancée has been snatched away, so you know you're here crying and drinking."

"Spending the family's money, ruining my own body."

"You feel uncomfortable, then you put on your clothes and go to the battle to grab it back from the Turkic people."

"Or go directly to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to revoke this marriage."

"But what about you, besides being drunk all day long, what else did you do?!"

"Your fiancée has returned to Turkic, and you have to rely on others to help you get it back for your daughter-in-law. Isn't your eldest Sun Chong still a man?!"

Listening to Changsun Wuji's reprimand, Changsun Chong kept kneeling on the ground, not daring to vent his anger.

But after hearing the last sentence, the eldest grandson, who was already half sober, raised his head subconsciously.

Then he asked suspiciously: "Father..."

"What did you say someone else helped me snatch... back?"

At this time, Changsun Wuji took a few deep breaths, and then almost roared, shouting to Changsun Chong word by word: "I say!"

"Peking King Li Qiu, for such a useless thing as you, defied the imperial decree and led an army of [-] to invade Turkic!"

"Nowadays, there is no need to talk about Turkic peace talks, and there is no need to marry happy relatives."

"But Li Qiu took all of his wealth and life!"

"When this battle is over, no matter whether it is Qinghe Cui's family or this time's resistance, Li Qiu will not be able to escape the responsibility."

"He didn't even see his newborn son!"

"Chang Sun Chong, Chang Sun Chong, just say this favor, will you pay it back?"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, all the family members around were taken aback.

And the eldest Sun Chong, who was the party involved, was already stunned.

At this time, he seemed to be in an unreal illusion, still recalling the poem Li Qiu gave him in his mind: If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will worry about tomorrow.

……

On the other side, in the palace, Princess Gaoyang is in a rather good mood.

Since Youle left and disappeared together with the two border shepherds that she deeply hated, Gao Yang's mood is getting better and better every day.

Now, Youle has married Turkic, and she has become the only and most favored princess in the palace.

The only little padded jacket worn by the father and the queen.

Even her own two big dogs that Gaochang Kingdom paid tribute to became the most obedient dogs in the palace.

Now, her daily task is to dress herself up beautifully, and then go to talk to her father, queen and queen.

The rest of the time was spent fantasizing that he was about to marry into his uncle's house, marrying the most suitable son-in-law, Sun Chong.

At that time, what kind of rewards will the father and mother have, how lively their wedding will be, and so on.

Chapter 559

But at this moment, a confidant maid who was happy in the palace hurried in.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, according to the eunuch in front, Peking King Li Qiu has privately led the Youzhou Army to fight against the Turks."

"Princess You Le's wedding has been cancelled!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Gao Yang's gaze became sharp.

"What nonsense have you been talking about all day?!"

"Now that the Turks are surrendering, and the Hu and Han are married, who would have the guts to start a war with the Turks without permission!"

"Don't listen to the wind is the rain, listen to those bastards gossiping."

At this time, the maid kept shaking her head, "No, Your Royal Highness, this matter is not a rumor."

"it is true……"

Until then, Princess Gao Yang gradually accepted this reality.

If this is the case, wouldn't Youle return to the palace again?

Then wouldn't my desire to marry into my uncle's family be ruined? !

Afterwards, Princess Gao Yang became even more angry and resentful.

"Peking King, Li Qiu!"

"you again!"

……

In the next few days, more and more military information spread into Chang'an City like snowflakes.

As in the past, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui, Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Hou Junji and others gathered in Chengqing Hall.

Watching Fang Xuanling analyze the military situation according to the map.

"According to the good news from Youzhou, Li Jing beheaded tens of thousands of Turkic Tie Le tribe."

"And besieged tens of thousands of Tiele people including Qibi Heli."

"The intention of this move is very clear, to besiege the city and fight for aid."

"Li Jing and the others are trying to use Qibi Heli and Tie Le tribe as bait to lure the Turkic army to come to the rescue."

"Then take advantage of this to attack with all your strength."
