Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2034 Another Plan

On the second day after Li Zhi lifted the restraint, news came from Yumen Pass.

This morning, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border. The Western Turkic Khan Ashina Helu led [-] troops to attack Yumen Pass, and Yumen Pass... fell."

After the news came out, the entire hall exploded at once.

"What, Yumen Pass is lost?"

"How is this possible? Yumen Pass is so strong. It has never been lost in the hands of my Tang Dynasty. It is so possible to lose it now?"

"A gate has [-] guards, how could they fall?"

"What exactly is going on?"

The officials in the DPRK were discussing a lot, but at this time, the official continued: "Zhang Hu, the guard of Yumen Pass, abandoned the city and fled. the road."

The Silk Road must pass through the Yumen Pass. Now that the Yumen Pass is in the hands of the Western Turks, how do they communicate with merchants from the Western Regions?

And at this time, the crowd exploded again.

"What, Zhang Hu abandoned the city and ran away, he really deserves to die."

"Not only should he be killed, he should be hacked into pieces. When will I, a man from the Tang Dynasty, abandon the city?"

"Now that Yumen Pass is lost, the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks may go south at any time. Wherever their iron cavalry goes, it must be very terrifying. The people of my Tang Dynasty have suffered."

"Who says it's not? Damn it, hate Zhang Hu."

"........."

All the officials were cursing Zhang Hu, and Li Shimin's face was livid with anger. The loss of Yumen Pass had never happened in their Tang Dynasty, but it happened now. Isn't it a shame.

Of course, the most important thing is that Datang lost the Silk Road and the barrier.

"This tiger really deserves to die, Your Majesty, he must be executed."

"Yes, yes, he must be executed."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Hu should be escorted back to the capital immediately."

Everyone was talking, Li Shimin glanced at them, and said: "Okay, the loss of Yumen Pass is indeed a disgrace to my Tang Dynasty, but Qin Aiqing has already rushed over with soldiers and horses, all you need to do is hand over this matter to Qin Aiqing. Pay attention to the situation at Yumen Pass."

Yumen is closed in Qin Tian's fief, and now the city in his fief has been breached by the Western Turks, even if this difficult problem, it should naturally be handed over to Qin Tian to solve it.

Li Shimin regretted it to some extent, so he didn't want to use the court's resources anymore for what happened in Xiliang.

Let Qin Tian do everything.

After Li Shimin said this, everyone looked at each other and felt that what Li Shimin said was also reasonable. This matter has nothing to do with them. It is the fiefdom of the King of Xiliang. Since Qin Tian has become a vassal, he is enjoying the supreme power At the same time, they should also shoulder the responsibility of resisting foreign enemies and keeping their Datang territory.

If they can't finish this, then he, the feudal lord, will be incompetent.

Everyone didn't say anything, Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, thinking that these people are really shameless, Qin Tian just went to fief the land, wouldn't this mean giving Qin Tian a mess?
But in this situation, he can't say anything, he can only hope that Qin Tian can turn the tide and retake Yumen Pass.

Changsun Wuji stood in the main hall with a very calm expression, but occasionally there was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Hu's abandonment of the city was arranged by him, that Zhang Hu belonged to him, and Zhang Hu would do whatever he asked Zhang Hu to do.

And as long as Yumen Pass is lost, Qin Tian will be crowned king in Xiliang, and he will first have to face such a powerful enemy as Western Turkic, and he will take Yumen Pass back from Western Turkic hands.

If he can take back Yumen Pass, then everything will be fine, but if he can't take back Yumen Pass, then it will be difficult for him, the king of Xiliang, to continue to be king.

When Li Shimin gets angry, he wants to cut down the vassal and get rid of his prince, what will he do?
Either accept his fate obediently, or rebel, but no matter whether he accepts his fate or rebels, the final result is not a good thing for him.

And he knew that Li Shimin regretted it, so even if Yumen Pass fell, Li Shimin would not be particularly angry, but would only leave the matter to Qin Tian. Judging from the current situation, things are indeed as Changsun Wuji guessed like that.

It can be said that so far, some of his schemes have been successful.

Of course, his plans are not limited to these, there are many more troubles Qin Tian will face in the future.

When retreating, the weather was fine, the breeze was gentle, and it made people feel very comfortable when it blew on people's faces.

Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo's expressions were not very good-looking.

They didn't go home, but went to a restaurant to drink.

"His grandma's, that Zhang Hu is really nothing. Brother Qin just went to Xiliang to become the king, and he lost the Yumen Gate. What does he mean, what does he mean?"

After Cheng Chumo drank a few glasses of wine, he couldn't hold back any longer, and said what was in his heart. Qin Huaiyu and the others were also very angry.

"Who said no, Zhang Hutu is not a human being, and he even caused such trouble for Brother Qin. Brother Qin only has five thousand mad demon troops in his hands. How can he win the Yumen Pass?"

"Who says it's not? We're not by Brother Qin's side when he needs us the most. Thinking about it makes people feel distressed."

Several people said this, and then they looked at each other again. At this time, Cheng Chumo suddenly dropped his wine glass on the ground and cursed: "You two, we can't be so disrespectful. Now that Yumen Pass is like this, we should help Brother Qin can do it, now the most dangerous place in my Tang Dynasty is Xiliang, as men, we should make meritorious deeds, not enjoy happiness in Chang'an City, what do you think?"

Cheng Chumo was very majestic, and after he finished speaking, the other two looked at each other, and then nodded: "Yes, yes, a man should make a contribution, so what's the point of staying here, let's go to Xiliang."

"That's right, go to Xiliang, how can I get there?"

When Qin Huaiyu asked this question, both Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were taken aback for a moment, yes, it is true that they want to go to Xiliang, but can they go to Xiliang casually?
Without the order of the emperor, would they dare to go to Xiliang?
Of course, it's not that they can't go to Xiliang secretly, but if they go to Xiliang secretly, it will be tantamount to bringing trouble to their family. The situation is not good after all.

"How about we go ask the emperor?"

"No, no, please ask the emperor, the emperor may not agree, we might as well ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
