Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 798
Everyone agreed to wait until the beginning of spring before fighting.

But at this time, Qin Tian smiled and said, "It's okay to fight again after the beginning of spring, but we can't make life easier for the Turks during this period. It would be better if we can provoke them to attack the city."

When they went to fight on the grassland, the cold weather would restrict their actions, but if they could force the Turks to attack the city, they would have the advantage of the city, but they could severely consume a wave of Turkic strength.

When everyone heard this, they all found it interesting.

"Xiaotian, tell me what you want to do." Cheng Yaojin looked over, and Qin Tian said: "Shoot a group of soldiers and horses into the grassland, plunder their cattle, sheep and property, kill their people, and rob their women."

Hearing that the Turkic people were being killed again, everyone couldn’t help curling their lips. This method is inferior. If it was done before, it was because the Turks had already attacked Chang’an City. .

"That's a good idea."

"I also think it's good. In this case, it's too easy to anger Turks."

"It's, it's..."

Although they despise this method very much, it is undoubtedly a very beneficial method for them.

Everyone, you are right, I said supportively, Li Ji raised his eyebrows for a moment, and said: "The method is a good method, but now the Turks have stockpiled soldiers and horses on the grassland, as long as they find out, our people may not be able to return. Come on, I heard that Luo Yi sent people into the grassland before, but they were wiped out by the Turks in a few days, it's different now."

Because the Turkic soldiers and horses in the past were all in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Wanche could act recklessly on the grassland, but now that the grassland has a large number of troops, it is very dangerous to go there.

Qin Tian nodded: "The British Lord is right, so we don't mean to be enemies of all Turkic soldiers and horses. We just need to find a tribe and plunder it. If a tribe suffers, the leader of this tribe You must be angry, as long as you provoke him to attack the city, I think that Jieli Khan will not take risks for a tribe, so our chances of winning are even greater."

After talking about the situation like this, everyone nodded again, thinking that this method is feasible.

After the agreement was made, Qin Tian and the others ruled out 1000 soldiers and horses, and asked them to go to the grassland to do this.

Of course, even though they were doing this, Qin Tian also ordered them not to confront the Turks head-on. If they encounter danger, they can just flee. Their purpose is not to fight the Turks, but to enrage them and let them come to attack the city. .

The leader of the army is monocular.

As a former prisoner on death row, although Shanmu has learned well after following Qin Tian, ​​in comparison, doing such a robbery is more handy.

And when Shanmu rushed to the grassland with a thousand soldiers and horses, the situation in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty was different.
-
At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, Chang'an is already cold.

The wind was blowing, causing the people in Chang'an City to involuntarily reduce their outings.

But even so, Chang'an City still doesn't seem to be very prosperous. It seems that the rebellion of Wing King Li Luo had no impact on Chang'an City at all.

Above the main hall, the temperature is very low, a bit cold.

The ministers stood trembling all over. Today's Tang Dynasty must be richer than the previous two years, but it is only a little richer. In addition, it is now fighting against the Turks, so Li Shimin can save as much as he can, and dare not go too far. Extravagance.

The ministers were discussing matters, and at this moment, a palace official ran in and said, "My lord, there is good news from the border."

Hearing the good news from the frontier, Li Shimin and the officials were shocked, and immediately, Li Shimin ordered: "Send it!"

Not long after, a border messenger ran in.

"Border news?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Qin Houye and Yinggong Gong broke through Dingxiang City and destroyed the Later Sui Dynasty. However, Yang Zhengdao of the Later Sui Dynasty fled to the Turks. General Su and General Hou also broke through Liangcheng and destroyed Liangcheng. At this time, the army is standing still and preparing to launch a general attack on the Turks after the beginning of spring..."

After the messenger finished muttering about the situation like this, Li Shimin looked overjoyed. In such a short period of time, the Later Sui Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom were destroyed successively. This is really good news.

Li Shimin was very happy, and many officials in the court were also discussing and showing joy, as if they felt that their opportunity to wipe out the Turks had finally come to avenge their shame.

However, at this time, Gao Shilian suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, the destruction of the Later Sui Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom is indeed a happy event and a good news, but Qin Tian condoned Yang Zhengdao's escape to the Turks, but he secretly released Yang Zhengdao. suspicion."

Yang Zhengdao, the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty, releasing Yang Zhengdao privately is definitely a serious crime, even if Qin Tian destroyed the Later Sui Dynasty, it would be a serious crime.

At this time, Gao Shilian stood up and said this, obviously he wanted Li Shimin to convict Qin Tian, ​​even if he did not convict him, he would have to offset his credit for destroying the Sui Dynasty.

After saying this, the hall, which was originally noisy and praising, suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't know what to say, because Qin Tian was indeed suspected of releasing Yang Zhengdao privately.

However, at this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Qin Tian did something meritorious, not guilty."

Everyone was a little surprised when Wei Zheng stood up, because all along, Wei Zheng gave them the feeling that he could only impeach people, and had never defended anyone, but today, he wanted to protect Qin Tian.

This is very different and shocking. After all, he has impeached Qin Tian a lot before, and almost got into a fight with Qin Tian. Now what is his intention in doing this?

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and said, "Oh, you have merit, where did you get it?"

Wei Zhengdao: "In the circumstances at that time, if you wanted to hunt down Yang Zhengdao, you would definitely suffer serious damage. I am afraid that the lives of many men in the Tang Dynasty will be buried in Xiangcheng forever. Yang Zhengdao's life will be exchanged for tens of millions of people. I thought that this deal was not a loss. After all, many soldiers of the later Sui Dynasty were persuaded to surrender. Yang Zhengdao fled to Turkic, and sooner or later we would kill him. Therefore, this is not a big crime, but more meritorious service."

After saying this, Gao Shilian next to him chuckled: "Compassion does not command soldiers, Qin Tian is so kind, what kind of battle can he fight, it is simply a bad thing."

"I don't agree with Mr. Gao's words. If Lord Hou doesn't know how to fight, how can he break through Dingxiang City and destroy the Hou Sui?"

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Gao is wrong. If you want to say that Tang Jian can't fight, then I won't argue with you, but if you want to say that Qin Tian can't fight, then you're talking nonsense... ..."

"That's right, that's right..."

All of a sudden, all the ministers in the court suddenly attacked Gao Shilian. There was no way, Gao Shilian was indeed a little too unreasonable.
