Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 251
The new year is not over, and Baiguan has not started the new year's work.

Suddenly there was an urgent report from the border.

In the imperial study room, a eunuch trotted in.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border."

After hearing the four words of urgent report at the border, Li Yuan's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly took it to read it, and when he finished reading it, he was furious: "Damn it, Tuyuhun is so bold, he actually bullied me like this, Tang, come here, pass it on!" All the ministers go to court."

The palace people scattered away, and about half an hour later, the hall was full of civil and military officials, and even many senior officials were called in.

Everyone looked at each other and whispered. They knew that something must have happened to announce their arrival in such a hurry.

"My lord, I don't know why Xuanchen and others are here?" Pei Ji spoke first.

Li Yuan looked solemn, and passed on the urgent report at the border: "Tuyuhun is abominable, he dared to covet the land of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and now he has sent troops to surround Qingzhou. Qingzhou is in danger. Do you have a good strategy?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked and angry.

"Tuyuhun is so bold. Your Majesty, I think that I should immediately send troops to support Gyeongju and repel Tuyuhun."

"That's right, send troops to repel Tuyuhun. They must not be so arrogant."

"They want food, if they don't give it, they will be beaten severely."

"That's right, if their arrogance is raised, they will trouble me, Datang, in the future. The best way is to scare them directly..."

The men in Datang are passionate, and they never thought of compromise. In their view, violence is the easiest way to solve everything.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Everyone who loves you is right. If you dare to offend my Tang Dynasty, let them know how powerful my Tang Dynasty is, so that they will always have a long memory. If that's the case, then Is your love willing to lead the army?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, Xue Wanche had already stood up.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army to repel Tuyuhun."

Although Li Jiancheng knew that his father was worried about him and might not let him or his people lead the army, he still wanted to give it a try, what if it was possible?
As soon as Xue Wanche stood up, someone followed suit.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army..."

All of a sudden, many generals followed suit. Among these people, there were Li Jiancheng and some Li Shimin, but Li Shimin's people were relatively weak, and many people didn't know that they were Li Shimin's people.

The two sides quarreled in the main hall, but Li Shimin just stood in the main hall without saying a word, the scene was a little out of control, Li Yuan frowned, and said: "It's a good thing that all my loves are willing to contribute to the country, but there is no need to wait." Fighting and fighting."

At this time, the hall finally became quieter.

Li Yuan took a glance and asked, "Pei Aiqing, who do you think is suitable to lead the army?"

Pei Ji was a little inclined towards Li Jiancheng, but judging from the current situation, if Li Jiancheng's people were to lead the army, I'm afraid this matter would never be settled.

And he himself didn't want Li Yuan to know that he was Li Jiancheng's person, so after being asked, he said: "My lord, I think General Sima is good."

There are not many people with the surname Sima back in the court, so the General Sima that Pei Ji talked about refers to Sima Linzhao.

After Pei Ji finished speaking, everyone looked at Sima Linzhao. Sima Linzhao was standing in the crowd and was originally inconspicuous. Now, being watched by everyone, Sima Linzhao felt a little uncomfortable.

He was probably in his 40s, almost [-] years old, and he was tall and tall. He was watched by everyone, and he immediately stood up: "My lord, the general is willing to lead the army."

Li Yuan knew what Pei Ji meant when he saw Sima Linzhao, because this Sima Linzhao didn't belong to any party, he was just a general, and because of this, he never got much promotion.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has not made too many achievements. Although he is brave, his strategy is somewhat lacking.

"Okay, since General Sima is willing to lead the army, I will order you to gather [-] troops as quickly as possible and rush to Qingzhou."

"Here!"

After the court, everyone retreated one after another.

And the news spread quickly in Chang'an City, and some common people entered the barracks with weapons before the end of the year.

Qin Mansion.

After Qin Tian heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

There was still a war between Datang and Tuyuhun, and this war, although someone was instigating it behind the scenes, he and the Ninth Princess were also duty-bound.

Some people, in order to achieve their own goals, can indeed use any means, even if more people fall into war and sacrifice their lives.

Not everyone can do this kind of method, they must be ruthless.

What makes Qin Tian a little strange is that neither the prince nor King Qin's people can grab the power to lead the army. Will the people behind the scenes be a little disappointed?

Qin Tian held his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head. He felt that he had thought too much, and the people behind the scenes had put so much effort into this matter. If it ended like this, it would be too unbearable.

I'm afraid that Sima Linzhao has a problem.

Qin Tian only thought about this matter for a while, and then he didn't care about it any more. Instead, he focused his energy on the expansion of the Four Seas Residence and some security issues in the capital.

The scale of Sihaiju is far from enough to meet today's needs, so expansion is necessary.

However, as the capital of Jingzhao, Qin Tian's main job is the security of the capital, and the Lantern Festival is about to come, and Chang'an City will be full of nights for three consecutive days, which is a big test for Chang'an's safety.

If there is no curfew, and everyone is like this on weekdays, then there is no need to be too nervous about safety issues, but because of the usual curfew, once contact is made, the emotions of those people who have been suppressed for a long time will be vented, like a flood. .

In this case, there will be more problems.

Therefore, Jingzhao Mansion will be under a lot of pressure in those few days, and before that, some preparatory work must be done.

Chang'an City already has a New Year's atmosphere. Before the Shangyuan Festival, Sima Linzhao rushed to Qingzhou with [-] soldiers and horses. When Sima Linzhao rushed to Qingzhou, he was far away in the north of the Turkic King City, above the main hall. The tribal leaders and Turkic ministers gathered together, discussing and waiting for their Khan Jieli Khan to appear.

Their greatest enemy, Datang, is about to start a war with Tuyuhun. This is an opportunity for Turks, a chance to avenge their shame. If they can, they can even go directly south and approach Chang'an.

"Why hasn't His Majesty Khan come out yet?"

"That's right, we've all been waiting for a long time."

"What's the rush, His Majesty Khan must be busy."

A group of people were talking, only to hear a loud shout: "His Majesty Khan is here..."

Jieli Khan came out, and the whole hall fell silent.
