Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 181 Finally, it must be the King of Qin
The news of Li Shenfu's defeat was sent back to Chang'an, and Li Yuan fainted directly in Wude Hall.He can't help saying that he doesn't value the Li talisman. This time he was ordered in a critical situation to see how much Lao Li attaches importance to the clan general.But it's one thing to value it, it's another thing to value it.

Obviously, the Li talisman is not worth paying attention to.Not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, the death of general Li Zhongwen was a huge blow to the Tang army.

Harem.

Several important officials waited anxiously outside the door.

Li Yuan was lying on the couch, Concubine Wan Gui was carefully serving her, Zhang Jieyu and other concubines knelt in front of the couch, waiting for the imperial doctor's treatment.

Not long after, Zhen Quan's diagnosis was completed.

He said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty must not get angry anymore, let alone be sad, otherwise I will have no way to recover."

Li Yuan laughed at himself, "Now that Tang Dynasty is in danger, how can I not be worried."

Hearing this, Zhen Quan was silent.He is just a doctor, not Xiangguo.It is impossible to answer the major events of the government.

"You go down."

"Yes."

After Zhen Quan stepped back, Li Yuan looked at Concubine Wan Gui and said, "You go back first, let the prince and the others come in."

"But Your Majesty, your illness."

Li Yuan shook his head and patted her delicate hand, "It's okay, I know my body, and if the matter in Bingzhou is not resolved, I will never recover."

Seeing this, Concubine Wan Gui could only retreat with her concubines.

Not long after, the prince and several Xiangguo walked in one after another.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

"Exemption."

With the help of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan sat up, leaning against Yanghe, with a white scarf tied on his head.

"Li Shenfu was defeated, and Bingzhou is in danger. Who do you think can rescue Bingzhou?"

With the defeat of the Li Shenfu, the situation in Bingzhou was obviously extremely dangerous. Naturally, no one dared to talk nonsense at this time.

Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, Liu Wuzhou is coming fiercely, and even the Turks are helping each other. We must not take it lightly. I think that the king of Qin should be ordered to support Bingzhou."

Li Jiancheng frowned and said: "But Shimin is in Hebei right now, and Dou Jiande has been cornered by Shimin. Abandoning Hebei at this time to rescue Bingzhou, wouldn't it be a waste of success. I feel that the fifth younger brother can be sent to support Bingzhou."

Dou Kang shook his head and said: "What the crown prince said is wrong. Dou Jiande has been seriously injured, and the next attack will definitely wipe him out. But the situation in Bingzhou is extremely urgent. According to Pei Xiangguo's urgent letter, the Turkic soldiers who helped Liu Wuzhou this time There are not a few of them. Song Jingang alone has [-] Turkic soldiers and horses, not to mention Liu Wuzhou in Taiyuan!"

"That's right." Dou Wei said: "We don't know anything about the situation in Taiyuan now. If King Qi can't defend Taiyuan, then the whole Bingzhou will be lost. At that time, even if King Qin takes Hebei, it will be meaningless. Although the King of Chu is good at conquering and fighting, he is not as safe as the King of Qin. Only the King of Qin supports Bingzhou, which can make people feel at ease."

Li Yuan nodded, "That's right."

It's not that he doesn't believe in Li Zhiyun, it's just that when encountering such a difficult situation, he still believes that King Qin can handle it properly.

Furthermore, what Dou Wei said is correct, King Qi's side is indeed worrying.As much as he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.King Qi has already sent twelve urgent letters asking for help, each of which contained his request to withdraw troops and return to Chang'an.Li Yuan knew that if the delay continued, Li Yuanji would definitely not be able to hold on.

Zhao Cijing, Minister of the Ministry of War, added: "Your Majesty, I think that it is not appropriate to have the support of the King of Qin to merge the prefecture. This time Liu Wuzhou joined forces with the Turks, and there are at least [-] troops. Now that Liu Wuzhou is encircling Jinyang and Song Jingang is attacking Puzhou, if We have less reinforcements, and I'm afraid we can't do anything.”

"Then what can you do?" Li Yuan asked.He valued this son-in-law very much, so he naturally attached great importance to his opinion.

"I think that the kings of Chu and Qin should support Bingzhou, completely take down Liu Wuzhou, and solve the troubles of Taiyuan."

"How to send troops?" Li Yuan asked.

"Let the king of Chu move to Puzhou to fight against Song Jingang. King Qin led his army to the north, directly entered Taiyuan from Jingxing, and the two sides attacked. This way, Liu Wuzhou will be defeated in one fell swoop!"

"Okay!" Li Yuan slapped the bed, his face flushed red, "Well said, defend Puzhou, hold back Song Jingang, let King Qin enter Taiyuan from Jingxing to rescue King Qi, that's great!"

Xiao Yu said: "I think this plan is feasible. In this way, the King of Qin does not need to lead his army back to Bingzhou, but can directly set out in Hebei to attack Taiyuan."

Liu Wenjing asked: "The king of Chu left Tongguan, what about Tongguan?"

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Let Chai Shao lead [-] troops to Puzhou and wait for the King of Chu to dispatch them. The troops in Tongguan can stay and guard."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Dou Wei cupped his hands.

Dou Kang and Chen Shuda naturally agreed successively.

Li Jiancheng said: "My minister also thinks what Zhao Shilang said is reasonable."

The solution given by Zhao Cijing was not bad, and Li Yuan was also satisfied with the candidate.Even if Li Jiancheng objected deliberately, he could only agree.Of course, at this time, he had already focused his energy on repelling Liu Wuzhou, and he naturally wouldn't think too much about other things.

At most, I still have some regrets about not being able to lead troops to the expedition.This was also what made him aggrieved. Before he could plead for orders, Chen Shuda had already moved King Qin out.Coupled with Zhao Cijing's rhetoric, the father is obviously more inclined to deal with Liu Wuzhou in this way.

At this time, if he is messing around and wants to lead the army to go out, I am afraid that the father will not agree to him, and even reprimand him.

Seeing that the prince also agreed, Liu Wenjing naturally wouldn't make any fools, and immediately seconded the proposal.

Li Yuan ordered: "Order the king of Chu to lead the army to Puzhou to fight against Song Jingang. Immediately send someone to send a letter to the king of Qin, asking him to temporarily stop attacking Dou Jiande and rescue Taiyuan!"

"According to the order!"

Immediately, Chang'an sent three teams to Tongguan, Hebei, and Taiyuan respectively.

Needless to say, informing King Chu and King Qin, Li Yuan was mainly worried that Li Yuanji would run away and give up on Jinyang when he informed Taiyuan.

Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing walked out of the palace.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent." Liu Wenjing was rather disappointed.The first time they supported Bingzhou, Li Yuan let Li Shenfu go, which made them helpless.However, Li Shenfu's support failed, and the prince still didn't get the chance to lead the troops, which made people very sad.

Li Jiancheng shook his head, "I don't blame you. In fact, I can see that the father deliberately asked King Qin to rescue Taiyuan."

"If it wasn't for Chen Shuda and the others, His Majesty wouldn't either."

"That's enough." Li Jiancheng interrupted him and warned, "Now is the time when the court is in crisis, so don't make troubles. Everything is mainly about defeating Liu Wuzhou, and we can talk about the rest later."

Liu Wenjing reminded: "But Your Highness, don't forget, if King Qin really enters Taiyuan from Jingxing and defeats Liu Wuzhou, then King Qin will take advantage of this matter!"

"Otherwise?" Li Jiancheng stopped and looked at Liu Wenjing, "Are you going to hold back King Qin regardless of the safety of the court?"

"Of course not!" Liu Wenjing said: "But Dou Wei and the others, His Highness must not take it lightly. His Highness has also seen what happened this time, and they stopped His Highness from leading troops several times, and their hearts are to be punished!"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng was a little annoyed.

It was true that he cared about the safety of the imperial court, but it was also true that he disliked the Dou family.

Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered, he waved his sleeves and walked away, "Let's talk when we go back."

"Yes."
