"So, General Yuchi, General Li, our Tang Dynasty no longer wants Qingzhou?"

Pei Jing snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that your majesty and we don't know the situation because we didn't go to see the situation in Qixian County! Let me tell you, we know! The walls of Pu County are not good, and there is basically no bonus to the defenders!"

"Even if there are cavalry archers, there will definitely not be many, and in a war... how can there be no casualties? I can be sure that the cavalry archers in Dayan's hands will not exceed three thousand."

"With such a number of people, if our [-]-strong army directly presses forward, how can we not defeat a county?"

Pei Ji now hopes to start a fight quickly.

As long as Qingzhou can be captured and Great Yan wiped out, so what if all the Tang army is dead?

Even in this way, the nobles, nobles, and clans will be happier.

By the time,

If Li Shimin didn't listen to their arrangements, their clan's private soldiers could directly replace Li Shimin.

It's not good to say,

Now the clan clan gives Li Shimin face because of these armies of the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, what qualifications does Li Shimin have to bargain with them?

"Pei Sikong." Li Jing's eyes were like swords, piercing directly into Pei Ji: "Then have you ever calculated how many soldiers' lives it would cost if we captured a county?"

"If we fight like this, don't say I can't accept it, even the soldiers won't do it!"

His voice is low.

but!

He fell silent again and continued: "Your Majesty, if it is true as Pei Sikong said, the number of cavalry archers deployed in Pu County will not exceed three thousand, so it is not impossible for us to attack by force. We must pay some price in exchange for capturing Pu County. , it’s not a bad loss.”

"The key is that now we can't determine the specific number of Great Yan's army at all. What if there are white robes, or even other arms? In this case... By then, it will not be the possibility of whether we can capture it, but the possibility of our defeat. Will we lose the fight?"

"Right now... if we advance, we will pay a heavier price in exchange for a county that is not too important. We will waste tens of thousands of soldiers in vain."

"We said there were fifty thousand, but the Tang Dynasty is currently experiencing internal and external troubles. Will your Majesty's fifty thousand troops really be deployed on the battlefield in Pu County?"

"What if..." Li Jing looked at Pei Ji intentionally or unintentionally: "There is a fire in the backyard, and if there is any accident, we need to take measures."

"Your Majesty, the battlefield is no child's play."

The voice fell.

There was silence in the county government office.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He knew that what Li Jing said was right.

[-] troops.

This is all the soldiers that can be gathered for the time being. If they are put on the fire pit of Pu County, then...

He glanced at Pei Ji and Xiao Yu.

At that time, the noble families will really become lawless.

The safety of Chang'an cannot be guaranteed.

The price is too high!

Pei Ji was anxious and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"Send spies to Pu County to find out thoroughly how many troops there are in Pu County! How many silver arrows or other weapons are there!"

"Let's wait until the investigation is clear."

Li Shimin reluctantly ordered.

at the moment,

It can only be this way.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

Testing is nothing more than testing.

Today's battlefield is not like the past. If you send a small group of soldiers, they will be gone after a few rounds of cavalry and shooting. If too many people are sent, is it still called a test?

Li Jing immediately accepted the order.

Pei Ji and Xiao Yu looked at each other, but neither of them said anything more.

Just frowning.

They never expected that a mere Great Yan would actually hold Datang here.

In the end, not even a small county seat could be captured.

There are [-] troops, but...it is difficult to move even an inch!

This is too funny.

It's really ridiculous to say it.

But that's the reality now.

But soon, there was news,

On the afternoon of the next day, a spy from the Tang Dynasty sent an extremely important message.

Three days later, Dayan will be in front of the south gate of Pu County.

parade!

"parade?"

When Li Shimin heard the news, he was a little confused.

What does this mean?

I seem to have never heard of this word before.

This time he stood on the city wall of the same county, looking at Pu County from a distance, frowning slightly.

"Xuanling, pharmacist, do you know what a military parade is?"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the people behind him.

Li Jing thought for a moment and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I have never heard of it. Parade? Reading troops? Watching troops? This... is incomprehensible."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others also shook their heads.

"Then... we can only wait three days."

"Damn it! What is going on over there in Dayan?"

Li Shimin's eyes were deep, and the dragon robe on his body was blown by the wind, making a sound: "What on earth is this damn Emperor Yan of Great Xia up to?"

"Mom, I hope you don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will definitely make you unable to survive or die!"

Li Shimin muttered to himself.

He is really annoyed with Emperor Yan now.

Ever since the emergence of Great Yan, nothing good has happened to Datang. Now it has even occupied Datang's land, and there is nothing it can do about it.

If this matter is not handled properly, I really don’t know what the history books will say about me.

He killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and took the throne of emperor, but in the end, he was not worthy of the throne? Will the world be torn apart by yourself?

hiss….

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think! ?

Li Shimin took a deep breath and shuddered hard.

Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji and others stood on one side, looking at each other, but they all fell silent.

We can only wait until three days later.
.

…………………….

time flies.

Three days passed by in a hurry.

early morning,

At the dawn of the red day, Li Shimin's eldest son, Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all dispatched and went straight to Pu County.

Of course they had to see with their own eyes what Dayan was up to!

Li Junxian led a group of Jinwu guards to accompany and protect them not far away.

When they arrived in front of Pu County, Li Shimin and the others slowly stopped.

Not too close.

but!

Not too far off.

He was riding a horse, with Tongxian behind him, and Jinwu Guards on his side. It would be very difficult for the other party to seduce and capture him.

almost impossible.

However, Pu County is now the same as before, with the city gates tightly closed, the defenders standing on the city wall, and the stars and flags still fluttering in the wind, no different.

"Didn't you say there was a military parade? What's going on? Why is there no movement at all? Is Dayan trying to fool people?" Fang Xuanling frowned and whispered.

"Probably not. In the past three days, according to what the spies said, the people in Pu County are also talking about this matter. The military parade seems to be very important, so there shouldn't be any problems." Li Jing looked around and slowly said.

He was also a little confused.

Why is there no movement at all?

these three days,

The news brought by the spies was almost all about the military parade, saying that Dayan's defensive power and weapons would be displayed in this military parade.

Otherwise, they would not have rushed over at dawn for fear of missing out.

Is it possible….

is fake?

Dayan is taking this opportunity to mobilize his troops?

"Your Majesty, I think this news is deceptive. How could Dayan show his defensive strength and weapons to us!"

"Unless they are crazy! Otherwise, everyone is keeping this news tightly, for fear that others will find out."

Pei Ji snorted coldly: "I think they just want to delay time to strengthen their defenses!" "Three days, we have wasted these three days. If we had attacked three days ago, now we are already standing on the Pu County wall On."

He was very dissatisfied.

It's just a pity,

He did not have the authority to command the army, otherwise he would have ordered the charge long ago.

"Wait a minute, maybe it's still early." Li Shimin took a deep breath and said.

When everyone heard this, they stopped talking.
.

Pu County City Wall 1

Li Kuan was sitting in the tower on the city wall, with Chen Qingzhi, Zhang Liao and Princess Changle beside him.

This is the highest point in Pu County, enough to overlook the whole picture.

The city wall below was given away.

Today, it is to be handed over to the people of Pu County.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. The formations of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the White Robe Army are all ready."

"Your Majesty, do you want to start now?"

Chen Qingzhi asked for instructions.

Li Kuan nodded: "Let's get started."

"By the way, Ziyun, ask your people to send some telescopes to Datang. Let them take a closer look... Let Tiance take a closer look at the future of Great Yan. He I missed something."

"Let him take a good look."

The voice fell.

Chen Qingzhi took the order and left.

Princess Changle on the side lowered her head and pursed her lips, wondering what she was thinking.

He opened his mouth, wanting to step forward and say something to Li Kuan.

But in the end, he still... retreated.

As Chen Qingzhi left.

Soon, countless people rushed towards the city wall.

It suddenly became noisy.

"The military parade is about to begin, hahaha, hurry up, hurry up, get a good seat!"

"Oh, don't rush or squeeze, there's room for everyone!"

"Damn! There are so many of us, but luckily I was smart and brought a small bench here. Hahaha, you can step on the small bench."

"There are no seats, there are no seats in the first row, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll pay, who can help me stand up!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. I was guarding the entrance to the city wall last night. I rushed up just now when the level opened, but it was still too late. You are too cruel."

"Hahaha, I am invincible in this position, Great Yan is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Oh, can you go up to the roof of this building?"

"What are you thinking about? The general and the others are all inside."

"......."

On the city wall, there was countless noise.

Countless people are looking forward to this military parade outside the city.
.

…………………….

Opposite Pu County.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were sitting on horseback, and they also saw the changes on the city wall.

Even, the noise on the city wall was faintly heard.

"Your Majesty, look! Dayan's military parade is about to begin!" Fang Xuanling excitedly pointed to the city wall and shouted: "Those should be the people of Pu County, right?"

"They are the people of Pu County. Why are they all coming to the city wall? Dayan, what on earth are you doing?"

Li Jing was at a loss.

"No, protect your majesty! There are cavalry coming out of the city gate!" At this time, Cheng Yaojin yelled and dodged directly in front of Li Shimin.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked forward.

as predicted,

In front of Pu County City Gate, a cavalryman was quickly approaching in their direction.

"What's going on? He wants to assassinate His Majesty? Then you have to ask about the weapon in my hand!" Qin Qiong shouted, the weapon in his hand was unsheathed and guarded in front of Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji and others were also horrified.

Staring at the Great Flame Cavalry, he didn't know what he was going to do.

Assassination?

A person?

This is too stupid!

Do you think you are Jing Ke?

But even Jing Ke wouldn’t dare to do this, right?

He rushed over like this, no one could miss him.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Shimin gave a low drink.

He held the reins and drove the horse to the front of Cheng Yaojin and others.

"Isn't it a shame? The opponent is just one ride away. Are you so afraid?"

"I! No matter how bad things are, he is still a general who will come through wind and fire. He is not a coward."

Li Shimin looked at the figure and couldn't help but straighten his back a lot.

At this time, I can't be embarrassed.

Let Dayan see the joke.

I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were helpless.

He could only hold the weapon and stare at the figure.

They didn't know what Dayan wanted to do when he sent a cavalry over at this time.

The white-robed cavalryman was getting closer, getting closer.

When he reached a similar distance, he pulled the reins sharply, and the horse neighed slightly and slowed down.

"Are you the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

The white-robed cavalry looked at Li Shimin proudly.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, but still nodded: "I am Li Shimin, what do you want?"

around.

Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and others all felt slightly nervous. They stared at the white-robed knight and breathed slightly hot.

They never imagined that Dayan could send this soldier out before the military parade started.

greet?

How can it be!

Would it be so boring over there in Dayan?

"This is what my Majesty ordered for you."

"then!"

With that said, the white-robed rider took off a baggage from his horse and dropped Li Shimin directly.

"His Majesty also said that you don't need to be so afraid. You can stay closer. I, Dayan, will not take advantage of this moment to attack you."

"After all, if I, Dayan, want to catch you, I can do it at any time. There is no need to just choose today!"

The King of Chu is still the same King of Chu.

Even if it is not possible to capture Li Shimin alive at the moment, we still have to treat his words as harsh and arrogant!

After saying that, the white-robed knight took the reins and turned back.

Li Shimin held the bundle in his hand, looked at the back of the white-robed knight, and breathed heavily several times.

"Arrogant! Your Majesty, the other party just wants to use words to disturb us. In my opinion, this Great Yan Emperor is nothing more than that. He is too small-minded!"

"At this time, people are actually trying to disgust me!"

Yuchi Jingde spat and snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with the words of the white-robed knight.

What does it mean that I want to arrest you at any time and anywhere?

This is not arrogance, what is it?

If this isn't disgusting, what is it?

"Unexpectedly, Emperor Dayan was also in Pu County, and he even discovered us."

Li Jing narrowed his eyes and looked a little nervous.
