Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 594 Give it a try?
Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong, who controls half of the country, intends to rebel, and it has been determined to be a false alarm.

Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an silently and indignantly, accepted the result of being dismissed from all positions, accepted the inquiry, and silently accepted Zong Zhengqing's position after thanking guests behind closed doors.

Afterwards, Ying Guogong, warrior Xun, resigned as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, left his wife, children and young daughter who had just been born, and hurried south to take up the post of Chief Governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Government.

On May [-]th, General Zuo Wuwei's Ma Sanbao army, the guard of Yanmen Gate, reported to Beijing. Turkic Jieli Khan and Turkic Khan led the army to the south, covering the sky and covering the sun, countless, and stormed Mayi and Guji towns in Shuozhou. In the two places, there are images of peeping at Yanmen Pass in the east and invading the east of the river.

Many people were keenly aware of the mystery of this military newspaper, because logically speaking, the person who submitted the letter to the court should be Li Shancai, the king of Handan who is actually in charge of the Daidi.

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, Li Yuan, who was holding a military newspaper, was a little surprised. Although the news had just entered the country, it had already spread. Why was Pingyang missing?

Huai Ren did not submit a letter, no matter what the reason is, it must have been an accident... How could Pingyang, who is most concerned about Huai Ren, ignore it?
Li Yuan knows this daughter that he is so proud of, she is heroic and not inferior to her husband, she looks a bit like Erlang... I thought she would come to her as soon as possible to make her brighter, and urge troops to go north to help.

"Pei Jian is here." Li Yuan saw that Prince Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji had arrived, and passed the battle report first, "Unexpectedly, the Turks sent troops ahead of time, and..."

Pei Ji glanced a few times, raised his eyebrows, "Tuli Khan has also dispatched troops!"

"Not bad." Li Yuan patted the couch, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, "What the hell is Huairen doing?!"

Wen Yanbo inspected Daizhou, returned to the court to report his duties, secretly reported to him, and swore that he had signed an alliance with Tuli Khan...

In less than three months, Tuli Khan tore up the covenant and followed Jieli Khan to attack south.

Prince Li Jiancheng thought for a moment, then said softly: "Father, the covenant is a surprise..."

"Maybe there is another inside story..." Pei Ji interrupted: "Mr. Xihe County has always been knowledgeable...but now, let's discuss the military situation first."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. Facing the Turks, he valued the views of two people the most. One was Pei Shiju, a provincial servant who had a lot of dealings with the Turks, and the other was Li Shimin, the King of Qin who had the most outstanding military exploits in this dynasty.

Not long after, the prince and the prime minister attended one by one. Li Shimin read the military newspaper expressionlessly. Of course he knew that Li Shan did not submit a letter because he was trapped in Guji Town.

It is impossible for this news not to be leaked all the time. Li Shan has a foundation in the court, but he is not without enemies. At least he needs to guard against Pei Shiju.

Ling Jing was just in Chengqian Hall and mentioned a guess to Li Shimin...Last year when Li Shan and Cui Xin went to Mayi to appease Yuan Junzhang, Yu Sheshe and the association rate suddenly went south to block it. It is likely that Pei Shiju secretly informed the Turkic side .

If the news of Li Shan's trap in Guji Town spreads, what will Pei Shiju do... Naturally, he will follow suit.

Li Shimin's head is as big as a bucket now, why are you, Li Huairen, so capable of causing trouble? !

If it is not your fault that Li Jing's delay in taking office is not your fault, but this time... he had to go to Guji Town, and he just ran into the Turks' massive southward march.

Now it's all right, I am now in a dilemma, how to get Li Shan out... Li Shimin discussed with many staff for a long time, but he still has no idea.

When Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan raised their troops to commit crimes south at the same time, no one would boldly propose to send troops from Yanmen Pass to relieve the siege of Guji Town... Even if someone proposed, Li Yuan would not agree.

And Li Shimin is too clear, if he proposes...it will only be worse, Donggong will definitely object to his proposal.

But if you sit idly by... Li Shimin would find it difficult to accept it. Now there are more than ten thousand Tang soldiers in Shuozhou, Zhang Shigui, a general of Tiance Mansion, and Li Shan, who has made many contributions to Li Shimin in private.

Don't talk about other things, if Li Shimin just sit idly by... Needless to say Ling Jing, the other aides such as Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling may also be muttering in their hearts.

We can only adapt to the situation, Li Shimin was thinking so, when the sound of hurried footsteps came, a figure passed by the side of the crowd, stood beside Li Yuan, silent.

"Pingyang is here." Li Yuan nodded, "There is no news from Huairen yet, maybe it's delayed..."

Li Shan is in charge of Daizhou General Manager's Office, as long as he can find someone, how could Ma Sanbao bypass Li Shan and write to the court.

He said a few words that he didn't quite believe... Li Yuan looked at Pei Shiju who had just entered the palace and took his seat, "Jeli Khan and Tuli Khan are not in harmony, why did the reunion go south this time?"

Pei Shiju remained calm, stroked his beard and said, "Perhaps the news that the Jianghuai war has been decided has spread to the grassland."

This is a logical inference. For decades, the Turks have been a dark cloud over the Central Plains dynasty. Now that the Central Plains are unified, the Tang army has demonstrated its strength in the battle against Tuyuhun and Turks.

It is impossible for the Turkic people to be unclear. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty was strong, it was often a period of decline for the grassland tribes.

Across the grasslands, chasing the enemy in Mobei, making contributions... It was the same in the Qin Dynasty, the former Han, and the later Han. The Eastern Hu, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and now it's the turn of the Turks.

Under such circumstances, the Turks, who claim to control hundreds of thousands of strings, let go of their internal strife, joined forces, and invaded on a large scale, hoping to destroy the Li and Tang Dynasty that had just ruled the world... This makes sense.

After these words, Li Yuan looked a little better, but Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda and other ministers were a little surprised... surprised that Pei Shiju talked a lot today, and also surprised that Pei Shiju was so good at licking.

This is a flattery for Li Yuan around the corner... No wonder the founding emperor smiled when he was upset.

If the country is not strong enough, if the army is not strong enough, the Turks will not go to war so aggressively.

After listening for a long time, Li Shimin felt a little puzzled... The old man Pei Shiju talked so much nonsense, but he also got to the point, but he never had a specific strategy, nor did he throw stones at Li Shan.

It couldn't be that Pei Shiju suddenly changed his temper, right?
Li Shimin quietly inquired about the expressions on the faces of Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji, but found nothing. After thinking for a while, he looked at the calm Princess Pingyang.

Oh, it turned out to be the third sister!

Li Shimin was determined for a while, if the third sister could pull her face down, things should have a turn for the better.

Indeed, Princess Pingyang completely lost her face today.

In fact, before Ma Sanbao's memorial arrived at Menxia province, two secret letters had already entered Beijing, one was delivered to Ling Jing, and the other was delivered to Chai Shao, who was unemployed in the Pingyang Princess Mansion.

Therefore, Princess Pingyang did not come to Liangyi Hall to attend this discussion immediately, but waited at Chengtian Gate in advance.

Waiting for Pei Shiju to be ordered to enter the palace... Right there, Princess Pingyang calmly ordered her guards to bring Pei Shuying's mother and son and Pei Shiju's two grandsons to the Princess Mansion.

If half a month was just a verbal threat, then this time, Princess Pingyang made the threat into reality.

Old thief, do you want to give it a try?
