Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 311 Quarrel and rescue are in a dilemma

Within a few days, Li Yuanji's rescue soldiers rushed back to Shanyang from the La River Valley and asked Li Shimin for help.

"His Royal Highness Qin, help!" The soldier knelt on one knee with a miserable expression, "His Royal Highness Qi attacked the Turks in the La River Valley, but was surrounded by a [-]-strong army led by the Turkic bandit Ashina Simo. I am desperate to break through, please His Royal Highness the King of Qin quickly dispatched troops to the rescue!"

The news is shocking and shocking, and it is not shocking if it is not shocking.

From Li Shimin's point of view, there should not be many Turkic soldiers and horses in Lahe Valley. It should not be a big problem for Li Yuanji to fight.What is shocking is that the Turkic support was so fast and timely, and the La River Valley was surrounded so quickly.

But for Changsun Wuji, it was a shock of surprise, after all, he wanted King Qi to have an accident.

Li Shimin quickly asked about the specific situation.

After half a stick of incense, Li Shimin asked the soldier to help him down to rest, and then asked everyone what to do.

"Your Highness, let the last general lead the army to rescue King Qi." Pang Qingyun clasped his fists.

"General Pang, don't be impatient." Changsun Wuji interrupted him, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, King Qi has only more than ten thousand troops under his command to attack the La River Valley this time. But Ashina Simo There are [-] support soldiers and horses, His Royal Highness Qi Wang may not be able to hold on at this time, and it may be too late to rescue at this time.

More importantly, the subordinates are worried that the Turkic people want to besiege the city and fight for aid, so they must be careful. "

No matter how he heard these words, Li Shimin felt that Changsun Wuji was hinting to him not to care about Li Yuanji's life or death.

"You mean, don't save King Qi?" Li Shimin's tone was not very good.

Some things can be said in private, but there are some things that cannot even be hinted at publicly.Obviously, my big uncle can't control so much now, so I remind him regardless of the occasion.

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "How dare this subordinate, what this subordinate means is that we must take a long-term view and not act rashly. Otherwise, if we fall into the trap of the Turkic people, wouldn't it be a big disaster."

Yu Zhining also said: "Your Highness, King Qi must be rescued, but we must think of a perfect plan. Otherwise, if we are a little careless, Xieli's army will overwhelm the situation. It is not a joke. Your Highness should understand this."

"Then tell me, how to save it!" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other, Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Your Highness, what Changsun Canjun and Yu Canjun said is reasonable, and my subordinates feel that in order to prevent the Turkic conspiracy, it is better to send soldiers and horses to test Ashina Simo. Let's see if we can delay."

The news came so suddenly that it was unrealistic to find a way to get the best of both worlds in a short while.Fang Xuanling could only procrastinate for time before thinking about a solution.

Anyway, the trapped person is Li Yuanji, don't worry.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, let's send soldiers and horses to test it first."

Not long after, Zheng Rentai led [-] troops to the La River Valley for support.Zheng Rentai's real name is Zheng Guang. He once followed Li Shimin in the Jinyang army, and he was regarded as Li Shimin's absolute confidant.Interestingly, Zheng Rentai was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang.

When Zheng Rentai rushed to Lahe Valley, he was a little tangled in his heart.Because Changsun Wuji found him, he hinted that he should march slower and be careful of Turkic ambush.

He didn't guess that Changsun Wuji had evil intentions, because he didn't have the brain to think that, he was just worried that if the support was slow, King Qi would be killed by the Turks.

Because by that time, it is likely that he will be the one to blame.

In order not to take the blame for himself, Zheng Rentai decided to speed up his march and must save King Qi.

But he didn't expect that when he was approaching Yuanzi River, he would be attacked by a large group of Turkic soldiers and horses.Zheng Rentai desperately fought bloody battles, but was finally defeated and blood was spilled on the battlefield.

When the news came back to Shanyang, everyone was shocked, and Li Shimin was even more sad.Zheng Rentai was his personal follower, loyal to him, but now he died because of Li Yuanji, how could he not be sad.

As for Changsun Wuji, his face was expressionless, and he even wanted to laugh.Without him, it's because that idiot Zheng Rentai didn't understand his reminder.

To die is to live.

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "The La River Valley probably has more than [-] Turkic soldiers and horses. Judging from the death of General Zheng, the La River Valley may have [-] troops! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Turks to surround King Qi and defeat him at the same time." General Zheng."

Changsun Wuji said: "As I said earlier, the Turks are besieging the city to fight for aid. As long as they don't kill King Qi, we will have to send troops to rescue them. The Turks want to lure us into battle."

Li Shimin's plan was to exhaust himself until the Turks couldn't hold on, and then attack in one fell swoop to turn the tide of the battle.

But as Li Yuanji was surrounded, they fell into a passive position.

Unless, don't go to rescue Li Yuanji now, and continue to spend with the Turks.

But the problem is, Li Shimin has no choice.

Therefore, he dismissed everyone, leaving behind Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, and Changsun Wuji.

"Now it's a critical moment, all of you tell me what this king should do." Li Shimin's eyes flicked over the faces of the three of them.

Fang Xuanling said: "King Qi must be saved, otherwise the saint will not be able to explain."

"How to save?" Changsun Wuji asked back, "You said it yourself, there are probably [-] Turkic soldiers in the La River Valley, and we have to use [-] or even [-] troops to suppress it!"

"If you don't save King Qi, if you return to Chang'an in the future, the sage will definitely hold His Highness accountable, and the crown prince will also take the opportunity to make trouble!" Fang Xuanling yelled back.

Not to mention, looking at Fang Xuanling's posture, Changsun Wuji was really a little scared.Nothing else, he once saw Fang Xuanling stabbing two Turkic thieves to death with a single knife.

Although he can also fight, Fang Xuanling is obviously better at it.After all, many civil servants in Tiance Mansion were brought back by Fang Xuanling.

Seeing that the two confidantes tended to quarrel, Li Shimin quickly interrupted them and said, "Stop arguing for now, the most urgent task now is to repel the Turks."

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he has scolded Li Yuanji a thousand times, ten thousand times.

He couldn't help thinking that if Zhiyun was by his side at this time, he would definitely not cause trouble to him.

Yu Zhining said: "At this time, it is not appropriate to use a small group of soldiers to rescue the King of Qi, as that will only be consumed by the Turks. If we want to rescue the King of Qi in time, we must send out a large army."

"No!" Changsun Wuji immediately refused, saying: "The army is dispatched, and Shanyang is empty. Once the Turks attack, we will be blocked!"

After arguing and arguing, they couldn't come out with any results.

Now the Turks clearly surrounded Li Yuanji and used Li Yuanji as bait for fishing.If Li Yuanji was just an ordinary general, it would be a big deal to give up. Unfortunately, he is His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's younger brother.

Even if Li Shimin disagreed with him, he had to find a way to save him.

The Turks were sure of this, so they dared to threaten Tang Jun unscrupulously.

Changsun Wuji said: "If the king of Qi is still trapped in the La River Valley at this time, it proves that the Turks did not want to kill him, but wanted to use him to plot against us. Say it yourself, so we have to save Qi at all costs." King?"

"But if you don't save him, how will you explain to the sage when you return to court in the future?" Fang Xuanling asked him.

Changsun Wuji said harshly, "If you kill Xieli, your merits and demerits will be equal!"

Fang Xuanling chuckled, "How can you guarantee it?"

"Do you want His Highness to take a road that doesn't work at all?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Li Shimin could only interrupt again.

"Enough, stop talking."

The three of them quieted down, waiting for Li Shimin to make a decision.
