Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1245

The messenger who delivered the letter to Li Ji was named A Wen.

He is from Chang'an City, and his family lives in Chang'an City.

After rushing back to Chang'an City from Xue Yantuo, he didn't go to look for Li Ji, but went home first.

He has been away from home for a long time and he misses his family very much.

He also thought that the war on Xue Yantuo's side was basically over, so he didn't have to worry too much. He felt that the letter in his hand might not be particularly important.

It's okay to be a little later and a little earlier, right?

After all, when he left, Qin Tian didn't have any special arrangements, he just asked him to give this letter to Li Ji.

After Ah Wen got home, he had some lingering love with his wife, and then he was so sleepy that he fell asleep very quickly.

When he woke up, it was already midnight.

The entire city of Chang'an is under curfew, so even if you want to send a letter to Li Ji, you can't.

"It seems that I can only go to the British Duke tomorrow."

He still felt in no hurry about this matter.

The night passed like this, and the next day, morning began.

The weather in Chang'an City is a bit hot, although it is almost the end of summer.

The ministers stood on the main hall, and someone quickly stood up with a memorial.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Songzhou."

Hearing the urgent report from Songzhou, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed and he asked, "How is the situation in Songzhou?"

"Hui Sheng said that the situation in Songzhou City is not good. General Niu Jinda fought against Tubo, but he was defeated. Now he is defending the city in Songzhou City. However, according to the current situation, they may not last long, and their food and grass There were not many left, so he asked the Holy One to send a helping hand and send some food and grass over there."

Hearing that Niu Jinda was defeated, Songzhou City was almost unable to hold, and the whole hall suddenly became noisy.

"This... How is this possible? My Tang army is so powerful, how could I be defeated?"

"That's right, that's right, Tubo only has [-] more troops than us, isn't my Tang Dynasty an opponent?"

"Now that I, Datang, are so passive, what should I do?"

"........."

The ministers said one by one, they all felt that Niu Jinda had no problem being a pioneer, but he was a bit lacking in ability to be a coach. It was a mistake for him to defend Songzhou City at that time.

But in this situation, they can only save it as soon as possible.

Li Shimin's face was a bit ugly, and he said: "My dear friends, what do you think about the situation in Songzhou City?"

"My lord, Niu Jinda was defeated and should be punished."

"Yes, you will be punished if you lose the battle."

Some civil officials felt that Niu Jinda was too radical, and they all wanted to punish Niu Jinda, but some generals laughed.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. If you are punished if you lose a battle, how can that general dare to kill the enemy in the future?"

"That is, that is, Holy Majesty, Niu Jinda was defeated. There is no problem with the strategy, but the difference in strength. It is too early to punish him now. We should find a way to repel the Tubo soldiers as soon as possible. You must know Tang is still fighting Xue Yantuo, we really can't afford to delay."

The longer the war lasted, the more food and grass they needed. Although they brought a lot of food and grass when the wheat was ripe, most of it was taken by Qin Tian to attack Xue Yantuo.

If the delay continues now, their food and grass may not be enough.

The ministers talked about it like this, which was quite controversial. Some civil officials wanted to punish Niu Jinda, but some generals were unwilling.

While the two sides were talking like this, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Tian also sent someone to send an urgent report."

Hearing that there was news from Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin quickly asked, "How is it, how is Xue Yantuo?"

If the situation on Xue Yantuo's side is not optimistic, then the pressure on their Datang may be really great.

"My Great Tang fought Xue Yantuo and defeated Xue Yantuo. Now Xue Yantuo has hidden back to his hometown. Xue Yantuo even submitted a surrender form to my Great Tang, willing to surrender to my Great Tang and pay tribute every year."

Hearing that Qin Tian had defeated Xue Yantuo, and that Xue Yantuo was even on the surrender list, the entire Tang Dynasty suddenly became clamorous again.

"I won. I, Tang, won. This is a good thing. I knew Lord Qin would be able to defeat Xue Yantuo."

"That's right, that's right, I won the fight so quickly, and Xue Yantuo was put on the list, the young master can be said to have played my Tang Dynasty's prestige."

"Now that the war on Xue Yantuo's side is over, I, Datang, can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and don't have to have so much pressure."

"That's right, that's right, it seems that our previous worries were unnecessary, and Niu Jinda doesn't have to accept punishment."

"........."

The officials discussed excitedly, and Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The war on Xue Yantuo's side was over, and then Datang didn't have to worry about fighting on both sides, and the follow-up supplies would not be available.

However, when everyone was saying this and breathed a sigh of relief, the official continued: "However, Qin Tian agreed to Xue Yantuo's marriage proposal. My Tang Dynasty wants to marry the princess to Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan."

Everyone was a little confused by this exit, and they didn't dare to think that this was Qin Tian's idea.

"This...what the hell is going on here, Qin Tian actually agreed to marry the princess to Xue Yantuo?"

"Unbelievable, how is this possible, Qin Tian has always opposed the marriage?"

"Who said no, if it weren't for him, how could we oppose the marriage?"

"Now that he actually agreed to the marriage, it's really puzzling. Could it be that Xue Yantuo's surrender was due to Qin Tian's condition?"

Everyone questioned and didn't understand, but at this moment, Gao Shilian had already stood up.

"Your Majesty, Qin Tian is simply deceiving you. He didn't defeat Xue Yantuo at all. He must have exchanged the marriage. Your Majesty must punish him severely."

"That's right, Your Majesty, marriage is absolutely not acceptable, and Qin Tian must be punished."

"........."

There are quite a few people who cater to Gao Shilian, after all, there are not a few people in the court who have a malicious heart towards Qin Tian.

With so many people demanding to punish Qin Tian, ​​Li Shimin's eyes froze. Qin Tian's actions really made people feel very disappointed, but it also made people feel very puzzling.

Things might be weird, but the court officials are still very angry.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and when these people were still shouting loudly, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, I have understood what you love Qing, it is too strange for Qin Tian to do such a thing , order to go down, let him take the soldiers and horses directly to Songzhou City for rescue, and for the matter of marriage, after he comes back, I will settle the score with him."
