He knew that Li Er's military talent was extremely high, but he didn't expect to have such accomplishments.

If it were him, he might not be able to infer that East Turkic had taken action from a young Huma.

"Your Majesty, the general admires your deduction and decisiveness."

"Old man Jieli must have made all the preparations for plotting against our Great Tang, but now our Great Tang does not have many troops available, if we want to resist the [-]th Turkic army, we need to make a long-term plan."

Li Jing was very calm.

In Tang Dynasty, there was no one who was good at soldiers than Li Jing.

As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he is the general manager of the world's soldiers and horses. He is talented in both civil and military affairs, brave and good at fighting, and has made outstanding achievements many times.

It can be called the military ceiling of the Tang Dynasty.

Wude eight years, August.

Jieli Khan led [-] cavalry across Shiling and invaded Taiyuan.

Li Yuan ordered Li Jing and Ren Gui to attack the Turks.

Due to the ferocity and momentum of the Turks, all the armies lost one after another, and Ren Gui was completely wiped out.

Only Li Jing's army was preserved, and even dealt a severe blow to the Turkic army.

It can be seen from this that Li Jing does have real talent and learning.

Chapter 55: The bad news of the three states, the Turkic invasion (1/5)

The next day.

It was cloudy and rainy.

A tense atmosphere enveloped Chang'an City.

Daxing Palace.

Hall of Liangyi.

Li Er, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was pacing in the court hall, restless like ants on a hot pot.

All the battle reports in his hand were thrown into the hall by him.

overnight.

The development of things has exceeded Li Er's expectations.

At the same time that the secret report was sent back to Chang'an, Jieli had led an army of 20 Turks to invade Datang.

In just a few days, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty and the entire territory of Lingzhou fell.

"Damn Turk, damn Xieli, took advantage of my Tang Dynasty's decline, invaded our borders, killed my soldiers, and plundered my people. It's really deceiving people! Deceiving people too much!"

Li Er's eyes were about to split, his eyes were scarlet, his fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Obviously got the news, but it was still a step late.

Jieli took advantage of Li Er's unsteady foundation, took advantage of the vacancy, and raised troops to cause chaos.

"Pharmacist, how many armours are there in Chang'an City, I want to personally conquer, and fight to the death with old man Jieli!"

Li Er stopped where he was, looked towards the court, and was furious.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, took a step forward and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, in the city of Chang'an, the left and right military guards plus the six troops of the East Palace are worth [-] soldiers, but Na Jieli has soldiers in his hands. There are more than [-] horses, and we must not match them."

At this time, Datang did not mean that there were only [-] soldiers and horses.

It's just that the border guards in most frontier areas are immovable, and there are even better generals and governors in charge of military power, all of whom are the legacy of the hidden prince.

They wished that Li Shimin would be wiped out by Jieli, so how could they send troops to help.

"Your Majesty, this battle is too dangerous, you must not lead the battle yourself!"

"Your Majesty, you must not..."

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

All the military officials in North Korea and Chinese stood up and persuaded them one after another.

They also felt extremely resentful in their hearts, only hated that they wanted to kill thieves, but were unable to defend the border.

"Could it be that I just watched Jieli lead the Turkic beasts to flatten Lingzhou and hurt my people!"

"Now that the whole Lingzhou has fallen, if we don't stop it, Jieli will drive straight in and attack Chang'an. At that time, will we still have room to resist!"

Li Er spoke loudly and convincingly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister implores His Majesty to move the capital to Luoyang to temporarily avoid the Turks."

At this time, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the court hall.

The person who spoke was none other than Shang Shu You Pu She Feng Deyi.

Luoyang is located deep inland, and there is a natural danger of the Yellow River to defend, it is indeed much safer than Chang'an City.

"Move the capital to Luoyang, His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, the world is not yet stable, how can you move the capital easily..."

"This is also a way. It's better than Jieli's army going to the city..."

"Oh, how could my Great Tang suffer such a catastrophe, the heavens really have no eyes..."

After hearing Feng Deyi's words, there were a lot of civil and military discussions in the court, with different opinions.

"Presumptuous!" Li Er roared angrily, "I have been a soldier all my life, blood-stained on the battlefield, and killed countless enemies. An Neng was frightened by the Jieli rats and fled."

"I am a great Tang Dynasty. Every stroke is the backbone. How can I allow the barbarians to bully me? As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if I can't save the people on the frontier from the fire, what face will I have to stand in the Daxing Palace? How can I have the face to face the elders of the Tang Dynasty, and how can I have the face to sit on this dragon chair."

Li Er said, crying blood in his heart.

In the words, it is full of concern for the country and the people.

Li Er was the emperor for a month, but he was a general for more than ten years.

Iron-boned and full of passion, he has never been afraid of anything in his life, and he has never been afraid of anyone.

He would rather spill blood on the battlefield and shroud corpses in horse leather than abandon the capital and flee, regardless of the lives and deaths of the people.

An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, thousands of soldiers.

Barbarians will never be allowed to trample on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, a postman suddenly broke into the court.

"Urgent report! Urgent report! The Turks are powerful, their troops are at their peak, and Lingzhou has fallen. The Turks have now divided into three groups, and their swords are pointing at Jing, Yuan, Qing and the three prefectures. The three prefectures are in danger. We request the imperial court to send troops to support them."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

"What! Yuanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jingzhou were all invaded by the Turks!"

"If the Turks take Jingzhou again and go straight to Gyeonggi-do, Chang'an will be in danger."

"How dare the Turkic barbarians do this."

"If not, let's make peace with the Turks."

"Indemnity, cession of land, can always make Xieli retreat."

"Hey, the Turkic army raised 20 troops, and my army in the Tang Dynasty is only worth [-]. How can we fight this battle?"

Civil and military officials are all gnashing their teeth. It's really a blessing, and a misfortune never comes singly.

Li Er glanced at the court, furious.

"Straighten your backs for me!"

"Many men in full house, act like daughters!"

"At this time when the Tang Dynasty is in danger."

"You big Tang humerus, which is full of courts, is terrified when you hear the sound, and the wind and cranes are jittery, and the grass and trees are all soldiers."

"The ones who want to retreat, those who want peace, those who want to flee, those who want to cede land, and those who want to pay compensation, just don't advocate rushing to help Jingzhou, and advocate fighting the Turks to the end."

"This is the sorrow of Tang Dynasty, my sorrow, and the shame of you courtiers."

Li Er stood in the court hall and angrily reprimanded the officials.

"Your Majesty, I am old enough to invite you to fight in Jingzhou. As the Great General of Youwuwei of the Tang Dynasty, An Neng retreated in Chang'an City, watching the people in dire straits."

Cheng Yaojin took a step forward, raised his sword eyebrows, and called for a fight.

He followed Li Er's army all his life, how could he have been so angry.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight. If there is a loss in Jingzhou, the Turks will flatten the river, and Old Jieli will be killed at the city of Chang'an in a few days. Jingzhou must be defended."

Qin Shubao stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, the last will fight!"

"Your Majesty, the last is willing to go!"

"Your Majesty, the last general..."

The generals in the court stood up one after another.

At this time, these vigorous generals of the Tang Dynasty could hardly bear such humiliation.

"Your Majesty, you must not send troops to Jingzhou. Chang'an City can only mobilize [-] troops. If you send tens of thousands more to aid Jingzhou, how can there be any soldiers in Chang'an City in Yuan, Qing and Sanzhou? Where is the safety of the imperial capital? Is there any guarantee?"

"Why don't we give Xieli some money and food, and let them retreat. If not, it's okay to cede land and pay compensation, or we can also consider making peace with the Turks."

Wang Zongyuan, the servant of the household department, stood up and cupped his hands.

The tone was humble on the surface, but the words said were chilling.

Wang Zongyuan didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, and he didn't even care about the life and death of border soldiers.

As for whether Li Er married a daughter to seek peace with the Turks, he didn't care.

What he cares about is how to make the Turks retreat and ensure that the royal family's interests are not violated.

Wang Zongyuan knew in his heart that the Turkic barbarians were not as easy to manipulate as Li Er.

Those people are really unreasonable.

Burn, kill, loot, do all evil.

With Wang Zongyuan's words, the temperature in the court hall suddenly became a little colder.

In front of this family who hates the country, his casual and depressing words make people feel resentful. How shameless and ignorant this is.

But this is the general environment that Li Er is facing. He has no soldiers in his hands, but he has internal and external troubles.

Chapter 56: Hearing that the Turks were attacking, Qin Mu ran away? (2/5)

"Wang Zongyuan!"

"The great enemy is in front of us, the country is in danger, how dare you be so weak, cede land and pay compensation, pay tribute and get married, do you think that my Tang Dynasty is a lamb at the mercy of others!"

Li Er hadn't spoken yet, but Changsun Wuji couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

The eldest grandson Wuji is not only Li Er's eldest brother-in-law, but also Li Er's younger brother, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Changsun Wuji played a vital role in Li Er being able to ascend to the throne of God. At this time, he can best understand Li Er's mood.

What Wang Zongyuan did was clearly challenging the imperial power and national prestige.

"Hmph..." Wang Zongyuan showed disdain on his face, and said in a strange way: "Master Changsun, you can't say that, I am also thinking about your majesty's safety."

"Small intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. Doesn't your lord grandson understand such a simple truth?"

"If your Majesty has any troubles, can you afford such a responsibility, my lord grandson?"

Not long ago, Wang Xuanfeng, the second son of Wang Zongyuan, had his legs broken by Qin Mu.

Li Er tried his best to defend Qin Mu, which made Wang Zongyuan lose face.

Today, he happened to find his way back.

The reason why Wang Zongyuan dared to be so unscrupulous was also instigated by several Patriarchs.

They want to find out where Li Er's bottom line is.

Datang's internal and external troubles are just a good time for them to stand up.
