Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 851 Hurt!Army!
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Mr. Zhang's slander, and the old ministers seconded to recommend King Qi as the leader of the army!"

Following this speech, there was a Zhongshu ordering Fang Xuanling to step out and salute Li Shimin...

Fang Xuanling bowed his hands before the throne and saluted Li Shimin, then continued.

"King Qi has great prestige in the minority forces in the Northeast and Xue Yantuo's tribe. If he leads the army to quell the chaos, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. I wonder who can do this. What Master Zhang said is to use the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. How dare you believe that the king of Qi will abolish the government for personal reasons, you really don't know what to say, talking nonsense."

Zhang Gongjin was reprimanded by Fang Xuanling, so he was naturally angry and couldn't help venting loudly.

"Your Majesty, I impeach Fang Xuanling and insult the courtiers in court. If I want to discuss matters in the court, all ministers can express different opinions. It is not wrong for my ministers to recommend the city king Li Daozong to lead the army to quell the chaos. I am worried about King Qi and the ethnic minorities. There are many influences, leading the army to calm the chaos may not look good on the face of the King of Qi, and the humble ministers are all for the court's sake, why do they have the heart of a villain, is it possible that I can't speak like a palace?"

This guy's words were sharp, and Fang Xuanling couldn't refute for a while.

Since the topic focused on whether Qin Wenyuan would lead the army, as the protagonist, Qin Wenyuan couldn't keep silent, and walked slowly under the golden throne, speaking in a leisurely manner.

"Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Zhang's words are wrong. All ministers have the right to speak when discussing affairs in the court. However, what you say must be based on grounds and not talk nonsense. The meaning of the minister is that the envoys lead the army to quell the chaos. Wanting to use the prestige of the various ethnic groups to achieve the goal of quelling the chaos without fighting, thinking that the Xue Yantuo and Turkic tribes are all under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the court should treat all ethnic groups equally. How can the ministers forget righteousness for selfishness? My lord is worried that this king will show favoritism because of his relationship with Xue Yantuo's department. This is a wild guess. It is not wrong for Fang Xiang to say that he has a villain's heart. Like Mr. Zhang's words of guessing the courtier's loyalty, I think Worse than a villain, he really has bad intentions and hides the intention of disaster."

Qin Wenyuan's words in the hall were to disparage Zhang Gongjin very much, it was really a slap in the face, so that Zhang Gongjin and a group of ministers who regarded Xu Tian as a strong enemy wanted to refute Qin Wenyuan's words in the hall but could not find suitable words. There is righteousness in this muddy boy's words, and there is nothing wrong with what he said.

Fang Xuanling heard Qin Wenyuan's support, and made Zhang Gongjin and other ministers shut up, as if drinking ice dew in hot summer, she nodded secretly with a smile on her face.

"This kid is the one who suffers!"

Li Shimin also cursed secretly in his heart.

"This little bastard has learned to be as tactful as an official now, and he is no longer as prominent in the palace as he used to be. His bullshit behavior of overpowering others is actually a joke, and he actually controls his opponent invisible. How treacherous. Like a ghost, Zhang Gongjin, such an idiot who can't talk but brains, is the opponent of this bastard, bring shame on himself!"

All the ministers looked at Zhang Gongjin's family ministers with great interest, they all had the mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, the civil and military officials whispered in the court, but no minister made any suggestion on who should lead the army to quell the chaos.

Seeing the situation in the palace, Li Shimin felt very swelled in his heart, thinking that many courtiers in the Tang Dynasty usually boasted, knew astronomy at the top, and geography at the bottom, and they all showed extraordinary abilities. , for fear of getting burned, there is still the spirit of working together for national affairs when the country was first established.

"Hey! After being an official for a long time, this kind of people has long been immersed in the taste of enjoying power. Seeing the interests are like flies smelling blood, they rush to life and death. How much original intention is there for the country and the people? I hate it... ..."

Then when the emperor sighed secretly, worried about the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the court being corrupt and addicted to power, a deacon and eunuch outside the palace shouted loudly.

"British Duke Qin Shiji goes to the palace and asks the emperor to summon him!"

Li Shimin turned around and shouted loudly.

"Xuan!"

But seeing Qin Shiji steadily entering the hall, Jin Luan knelt down and said loudly.

"The sinful minister Qin Shiji sees my emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Shiji! This is your fault. I appointed you as the governor of Jin Wang's mansion. The intention is to use your strengths to make the military and government of Jin Wang's fief clear, but you misunderstood my intention and left with a seal. There is no news from Nian, I am really saddened, do you know your crime?"

"The minister is guilty! Begging the emperor to punish him, Shiji has no complaints."

"Hey! Get back on your feet. I think of your achievements in the court and follow my desire to calm the world. Let this matter go. I hope you will devote yourself to the military and political affairs of the court in the future. Don't let me down."

Qin Shiji hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, he got up and looked at Li Shimin and found that he had lost his former style, and lamented the ruthlessness of time.

This guy thinks of the glory of the past, how high-spirited the emperor was at that time, standing proudly like a lion, like a fierce tiger in the army, and roaming in the sky like a dragon, the hero is invincible, now he is like the sun about to set in the west, although Some are radiant but already old!

Qin Shiji felt a little sad about the ending of a hero, but his eyes were covered with tears, and he stood up and said with a crying sound.

"I would like to obey the emperor's order!"

The words fell, and then he paid homage to Prince Li Zhi, and moved to greet many colleagues in the hall.

Li Shimin calmed down his mind and ordered the eunuchs around him to order all the officials to be quiet, and everyone on the dragon couch spoke.

"My will has been decided, so that the king of Qi, Qin Wenyuan, will lead the army to quell the chaos, and control the troops led by Li Daliang, the marching chief of Lingzhou Road, and Li Xiyu, the chief of the Liangzhou Road marching. Take the crime and make the meritorious deeds."

Qin Wenyuan and Qin Shiji's uncles and nephews led the decree.

After the dynasty was dispersed, the uncle and nephew returned to the "Qi Palace" to prepare for the expedition. Princess Minmin had long been waiting for her husband.

Seeing her husband and uncle, Princess Minmin straight to the point.

"The concubine heard that my husband had won the emperor's decree and wanted to subjugate Xue Yantuo's tribe. I don't know what the emperor wants to achieve before I let my family members go. I hope my husband and uncle will enlighten me."

Qin Shiji didn't know how to answer, but Qin Wenyuan smiled wryly.

"Madam, you don't have to worry about this matter. As the commander in chief of the army, I will not reveal such important military affairs. However, I will allow my wife to accompany the army to Xueyantuo's department. You can be the special envoy of this king to send a letter to Zhenzhu Khan Yinan Let them withdraw the army that attacked Turkic Libi Khan Ashina Simo and plead guilty to the emperor, then the danger of Xue Yantuo's tribe will be relieved!"

Princess Minmin felt a little relieved when she heard her husband's words, and quickly called out the maids in the mansion to change clothes for her uncle and nephew.

The two uncles and nephews were fully clothed. Qin Wenyuan ordered Zhou Cang to lead hundreds of personal guards to surround the princess and accompany him, and said goodbye to the wives who stayed at home, and ordered Qin Shiji to bring troops to the school field to order troops.

The next day, Qin Wenyuan led [-] infantry, [-] cavalry and his personal guards out of Chang'an City. In less than three days, he met Li Daliang, the marching chief of Lingzhou Road, and Li Xiyu, the chief marching of Liangzhou Road, who led [-] troops under his control. The army gathered outside the city of "Shuozhou".

In the tent of the Chinese army, Qin Wenyuan sent a large number of scouts to find out the current situation and strategic layout of Xue Yantuo's 20 army.

When everything was in order, Qin Wenyuan ordered Li Daliang, the marching chief of Lingzhou Road, and Li Xiyu, the chief marching of Liangzhou Road, to lead an army to the place tens of miles away from Xue Yantuo's Yazhang, forming an attacking momentum with their two wings, and they were not ordered to act without permission.

The two generals got the order and led the army to set off. In the tent of the Chinese army, the uncle and nephew sat opposite each other.

Seeing that his nephew didn't seem to have the slightest nervous expression about the war, Qin Shiji couldn't help asking.

"Boy; tell your uncle how to use your troops next, so that he can complete the tasks assigned by the Holy Majesty."

Qin Wenyuan still smiled and said in an understatement tone.

"Uncle, don't worry, wait for the Princess to send back the news. If the boy predicts well, this battle will end soon."

Princess Minmin met Zhenzhu Khan Yinan and many other tribesmen in Xue Yantuo's tent, and presented Xu Tianzhi's letter to this prairie hero who was his nephew according to his seniority.

"Khan, the king of Qi, Qin Wenyuan, led the army to put down the chaos this time. With his prestige among the various forces in the grassland, Khan felt sure that he could defeat the Tang army and that the soldiers of all tribes would desperately participate in the battle against the Tang army. ?”

Zhenzhu Khan read Qin Wenyuan's letter, and heard the words of his aunt Minmin, and was thinking to himself, but unexpectedly, his son came out and shouted angrily.

"The lady of the princess, don't want others to destroy her prestige. Now that she is the side concubine of King Qi, she should not talk too much about Xue Yantuo's affairs. This class is not an enemy of the Tang army, but is only attacking the Turkic tribe, so that it can prepare for a rainy day. It’s all about taking precautions.”

After this fellow said this, he did not want Zhenzhu Khan's order to show his teeth. After a while, he led his troops to the "Shuozhou" city where the Turks were stationed, intending to continue to threaten and attack the Turks' defenders.

Qin Wenyuan got scouts from the tents of the Chinese army to report the military situation. Hearing that Dadu had acted so recklessly, he didn't pay attention to the Tang army, so he ordered Qin Shiji to lead [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to meet the enemy.

Outside the city of "Shuozhou", Qin Shiji ordered the Tang army to set up an attacking formation in a narrow area called "Nuozhenshui" where the army must pass through in Dadu. Surrounded by many Tang generals, he led two thousand cavalry to stand on horseback with guns. Before the formation of the army, [-] infantry were ordered to use archers and shield soldiers first to meet the nearly [-] army under the command of Dadu, who was not firmly established.

It was also this generosity to underestimate the enemy, thinking that he could defeat the Tang army with his own superior force, but he forgot that although the Tang army was only [-] in number, it was at the right time and place, and there was a large number of Turks in "Shuozhou" city later Iron cavalry, this battle has not yet started, it is already doomed to fail.

On the battlefield, the Tang army's elite infantry used shields, strong bows, long spears, and broadswords to use the terrain to resist the enemy. "The word Shuaiqi, knowing that the leader of the army this time will be Qi Wang Qin Wenyuan, is fearful and does not want to be an enemy of the fairy-like King Qi.

Many fighters of the Mohe tribe also had the intention of leaving the battlefield, and they fled after a little contact with the Tang army.

When the armies of the Tongluo, Pugu, Huihe, and Yu tribes were fighting fiercely with the Tang army, the [-] troops of the Mohe tribe appeared to be defeated and scattered in all directions on the battlefield. Cut into several pieces and cannot connect end to end.

The coalition forces under Dadu's command began to be in chaos. The soldiers on the battlefield did not know their generals, and the generals did not see them. Under such circumstances, soldiers from the Pugu and Huihe tribes fled the battlefield and returned to their respective tribes, while the other left their hands. When the weapons surrendered, the troops under his command were gradually inferior to the Tang army.

Qin Shiji saw that the situation on the battlefield was already under his control, so he personally led two thousand cavalry to launch a charge against Dadu's central army.

Dadu set up to see his army of nearly [-] was defeated by [-] infantry of the Tang army, he was furious and still didn't know how to reflect on himself.

"This battle is not due to the bravery of the Tang army, but because Qi Wang Qin Wenyuan had too much influence on the soldiers of all ethnic groups, making them lose their will to fight."

Dadu heard this remark, and knew that what the princess said was not bad, because he underestimated King Qi's influence in the tribes of the grassland!

The so-called; "the name of a person, the shadow of a tree!" really should not be underestimated.

At this time, this guy regretted not listening to the princess's words, and thought why he had an interview with the king of Qi before the battle, and raised Xue Yantuo's worries so that the king of Qi can solve them.

"Report...!"

Just here, looking at the melee on the battlefield, his heart was already struggling to withdraw his troops or continue to fight, and an urgent military report came from an army scout on a fast horse.

"Report to Khan; there are [-] troops of the Tang army stationed tens of miles away from the Great Khan's Yazhang, which has cut off our army's retreat and formed an attack on the Great Khan's Yazhang."

Dadu set up a shock when he heard the news, and urgently ordered Mingjin to retreat.

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers of all ethnic groups rushing back like a tide, Dadu looked up to the sky with grief and indignation, and suddenly saw thousands of cavalry from the Tang army chasing and killing his central army behind the retreating soldiers. Knowing that this was an attack from the cavalry led by the chief general of the Tang army, he ordered his elite soldiers to tie up the corners of the formation, let go of the retreating soldiers, and used their strong bows to block the attack of the cavalry of the Tang army.

Qin Shiji led [-] cavalry to charge among the tens of thousands of enemy troops. The purpose was to cause more chaos to the army under Dadu's command. He didn't think that only [-] cavalry could kill Dadu. Retreat, but the archers covering the enemy's retreat have already caused casualties to the cavalry, Qin Shiji ordered the Tang army to stop attacking, and let him lead the army to retreat with generosity.

After Dadu led the army to escape from the battlefield, Qin Shiji ordered the soldiers under his command to treat the soldiers of all ethnic groups who surrendered kindly, so that they were all concentrated in the barracks and detained until Xu Tian ordered them to deal with them.

Zhenzhu Khan Yinan was rewarded for his magnanimity in the tooth tent and set it up in "Nuozhenshui" to defeat the Tang army. He said to his aunt Minmin.

"I regret not listening to my aunt's words, which resulted in Dadu's defeat. In view of the current situation, I want to send envoys to ask the Tang army to retreat. What does my aunt think?"

Princess Minmin didn't seem surprised by the failure of Xue Yantuo's army this time, so she pondered for a while and said to herself.

"Alright! The Great Khan sent a special envoy to meet King Qi, and my aunt will assist you."

In the tooth tent, Zhenzhu Khan and Princess Minmin had a good discussion, and on the same day they sent envoys to accompany the princess to the Tang army camp.

In the camp of the Chinese Army, Qin Wenyuan had already heard the news of his uncle Xu Shiji's victory, so he ordered his messengers to report to the Chang'an Palace urgently, and at the same time ordered Xu Shiji, Li Daliang, the marching chief of Lingzhou Road, and Li Xiyu, the chief marching of Liangzhou Road, to stand still for the time being.

This guy guessed that Zhenzhu Khan was also the time to send envoys to see him, and he would be the best choice to end this war without hurting the lives of the army and the soldiers of various ethnic minorities.
