Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

but!

On this very day.

Outside Chang'an Mingde Gate, as usual, caravans were lining up to enter the city, while people were coming in and out at another side gate.

Can,

Right now.

A war horse and a scout, with three Tang Dynasty war flags behind them, rushed into Chang'an and rushed along Zhuque Street towards the imperial city.

This scene,

It also attracted the attention of the people in the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of Zhuque Street.

The peace now,

In the lazy winter, people are basically not busy anymore.

Everyone is waiting for the next spring, so chatting about the north and the south has become the main thing.

Naturally, when seeing this scene, one can’t help but make some guesses.

after all,

The three-pole war flag represents an extremely urgent matter. No checkpoints can be blocked, and any city gate must be allowed to pass.

"What's going on? This scout's outfit must be from Youzhou, right? Is there something going on in Youzhou or even in Northern Xinjiang?"

"I don't know, but... I haven't heard anything recently. It's very quiet in the north, and the businessmen walking in Yunzhou City and Chang'an City haven't brought any news."

"Could it be that... the Turks are coming down again? It shouldn't be. They just lost the battle, and if the Turks are going south, the battle flag should be blood red for such an urgent war."

"That's right. Could it be that it's the Puxian side? No, they don't dress like this when they go to the Puxian side. From this look, they are the border troops."

"Come to think of it, it's been so long. Do we, the Tang Dynasty, still want Qingzhou? Do we really want to say we don't want it anymore? It's been so long and there's still no fight. What's going on?"

"I don't know, but... Qingzhou has been lost like this. Doesn't your Majesty feel aggrieved?"

"Aggrieved? Are there many things that Your Majesty is aggrieved by? Anyway, Your Majesty can bear it, cough cough cough, forget it, drink tea and don't talk about state affairs."

"Your kid's mouth is really bad. Be careful when trouble comes from your mouth. Hey, in fact, compared to Dayan, Turks are more important. Dayan is also a country established by us Han people. Turks are aliens. They don't know how to do it." Don’t hold anything back.”

"Who says it's not? But the Turks... they have strong soldiers and horses. We in the Tang Dynasty really don't know when we can beat the Turks to a pulp so that we can vent our anger. The covenant signed by the Weishui River has only lasted for three years. I heard It is said that tens of millions of dollars will be sent to the Turks, and this does not include food. Grandma, the food that we people of the Tang Dynasty worked so hard to cultivate will end up being cheaper than the grandchildren of the Turks."

"That's true, but you don't know that the Turks are brave and good at fighting. It's difficult. Now that you can resist the Turks and don't continue to go south, thank God."

"Yes, the grassland is vast. If our army rushes to the grassland, we may be killed miserably by the Turks."

"......."

The diners and tea drinkers were talking a lot.

A pot of hot tea and a good chat.

But when Turks are mentioned, frustration and sadness are revealed.

Turks,

It is a thorn in the hearts of the people of Tang Dynasty, an absolute thorn!

Especially the former King of Chu.

This now familiar but extremely unfamiliar title made them even more embarrassed.

The former King of Chu,

How high-spirited and domineering.

result….

Hey….

What the name is, some people have even forgotten it.

The only title left is the King of Chu.

From time to time, someone can still mention it.

I mentioned it carefully because in Chang'an City, the name of King Chu was taboo.

but.

Even if you mention it, you just sigh, or warm a pot of wine and pay tribute to the north.

King of Chu, King of Chu,

What an amazing talent, but in the end it was lost in the process of the country, without even a single wave, and even his name was almost forgotten in the end.

The people were filled with emotions.

of course,

This kind of emotion is mainly a sigh of helplessness and weakness of Datang.

no way.

There is really no way.

The Tang Dynasty was really frustrated in the past three years, first by the Turks and then by the Great Yan. Its external weakness never disappointed anyone.

….….….….….….

at this time.

Imperial City.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin handled political affairs.

There is a pot of hot tea at hand. From time to time, he will put down his pen, pick up the tea cup, and look outside the hall, slightly lost in thought.

winter,

Not only are there not many things for the people to do, but there are also a lot less things for the court.

Calm, this word seems to match winter very well.

but….

Things on Li Shimin's mind were still weighing on him.

This year is about to pass.

But the situation in Datang has not improved.

On the contrary, it was worse than the previous year.

Qingzhou is gone.

Now when Li Shimin goes to bed, he is worried that when he wakes up the next day, the entire Tang Dynasty has been invaded by Great Yan.

Continuing like this is not the way to go.

Moreover, there was no movement in Pu County, and Dayan didn't seem to want to continue to expand south. Could it be that... Dayan was really scaring himself before?

Wait until next spring,

After everything is ready, do you want to give it a try and fight Dayan?

Qingzhou,

Such a large territory cannot be lost just like that.

Li Shimin thought about it and tried to make a decision in his mind.

but.

At this time, the silent Tai Chi Palace was exploded by a sound.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"There's news from Northern Xinjiang. It's an urgent report from there!"

Li Junxian rushed in.

Behind him, there was also a frontier army scout.

The tea cup in Li Shimin's hand shook violently. Fortunately, he drank almost all the tea, otherwise, he would have to spill it.

"Northern Xinjiang?"

Li Shimin's thoughts were interrupted and he stood up suddenly.

His face was extremely solemn.

As long as urgent reports are involved in Northern Xinjiang, there seems to be no good news.

Could it be that the Turks are starting to cause chaos again?

Li Shimin's breathing was very rapid.

"whats the matter?"

Li Shimin stared at the scout with the battle flag behind him and asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the scout immediately handed over the battle report in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is written by General Chai Shaochai himself. It is extremely urgent information. Please read it!"

The scout didn't hesitate at all. He took out a letter from the bamboo tube on his chest and handed it over quickly and respectfully.

Li Shimin took it immediately.

tear apart.

One eye and ten lines.

He was watching extremely intently, and his breathing could not help but become rapid and heavy.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Shimin swayed and finally reacted.

He looked at the scout, then at Li Junxian, and opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.

Li Shimin swallowed hard.

He took another deep breath, slowly and solemnly put the things in his hands on the table, and after brewing for a moment, he finally made a sound.

"Li Junxian, take...bring...the scout to the shop to rest. Remember! A hundred taels of business are important!"

"In addition, call me the pharmacist, Lao Cheng, second brother Qin, and by the way, Xuan Ling, Ke Ming, and the auxiliary machine."

"Go, go quickly!"

As Li Shimin spoke, his voice became more and more urgent, and the last few words were almost shouted.

Li Junxian did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly pulled the border army scouts out of the palace, and then hurried to summon everyone.

Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian's hurried away figure, took a deep breath, sat down on the ground.

His eyes were in trance.

incredible.

Out-of-body experience.   Scalp is numb.

Trembling all over.

Sweat coldly!

"His Majesty!"

The waiter next to him didn't know what was going on and wanted to help him.

Li Shimin shook his head and stopped his movements, but said nothing.

His head rested lightly on the table behind him.

I don't even know where to put my hands.

"Gudong..."

He swallowed again.

However, my mouth still felt like it was on fire and it was extremely dry.

"Tea...tea..."

Li Shimin spit out two words.

The waiter hurriedly brought the teacup and placed it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it.

but,

His hands were shaking a little, and all the tea spilled out.

He let go.

I squeezed it hard and tried to pick it up again, but my hands were still shaking uncontrollably.

The tea cups are not even stable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"Should you... call the imperial doctor?"

The waiter next to him saw this and immediately asked eagerly.

Your Majesty, what's going on?

I can’t even hold the tea cup!

"No, it's none of your business here. Just put the tea cup over there and leave."

Li Shimin closed his eyes and ordered directly.

The chamberlain could only do as he was told.

After a long time, Li Shimin picked up the tea cup again and took a sip.

The warm tea rushed down the esophagus directly to the stomach. Then, in an instant, he wanted to relieve himself.

but….

Li Shimin held back.

He let out a long breath.

But after drinking a glass of water, I still can't suppress the dryness in my mouth.

After swallowing again, the pain was still severe.

Great inflammation!

Great inflammation! !

Tens of thousands of the Turks' 100,000-strong army died directly under Yanyun City, and 15,000 people directly became prisoners of Dayan.

Although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops on the grassland.

But the most elite group was lost just like that.

It can be predicted.

Turks are almost falling apart!

And the intelligence also said that now there seems to be no Turks in the entire grassland. Dayan has trained many people to become bounty hunters. Their martial arts are pure. If a Turk has three coins, his Emperor Dayan is real. I can figure it out.

he….

Is he still a human being?

Dayan, how on earth did you do this?

Fight against the Turks' most elite warriors.

The total number of casualties during the Great War was only over 10,000...

As soon as this thought came out, Li Shimin shuddered again, and his breathing became more and more burning.

Great inflammation is too terrifying! !

At this moment,

Li Shimin was still full of luck. At first, he was lucky that he did not foolishly start a war in Pu County.

Retreating is the best decision!

Just now,

I actually want to give it a try with Mansion Yan. Damn it, is there any point in trying it? Dayan is already like this. The Turks' 100,000 elite troops cannot capture a single city. Do you still want to die?

Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, my name would have been completely engraved on the list of shameful and foolish kings.

Now there is only one picture in Li Shimin's mind,

That is, if there really is a war with Dayan, all of his 50,000 elite troops will be lost and wiped out by Dayan.

By the time,

Most places in the Tang Dynasty were finished.

There was no need to say anything more, and there was no panic at all. It was really over!

There are only hundreds of thousands of troops left, but they are unable to defend a territory as large as the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin swallowed again.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Sitting on the ground, leaning against the desk, he looked like a stupid dead person.

Not long after,

Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others hurried over.

His Majesty sent someone to summon them, and he was extremely anxious. Naturally, no one dared to make any mistakes.

Especially Li Junxian, who also said it was about Northern Xinjiang, made them even more afraid to delay.

Northern Xinjiang!

Especially Youzhou.

There is so much pain in the Tang Dynasty!

If the Turks take advantage of this winter to move south again, Datang will really be in trouble.

When everyone stepped into Tai Chi Palace, they saw Li Shimin sitting there, leaning on the desk, motionless.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Du Ruhui, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? What happened in Northern Xinjiang?"

"Is your Majesty okay? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"

"......."

Everyone greeted them respectfully, but after calling several times, they saw that Li Shimin was as motionless as a wooden stake. They immediately became anxious and wanted to call the imperial doctor.

At this time, Li Shimin's eyebrows trembled and his eyes opened.

His eyes roamed around, scanning everyone.

"You are here."

"Let's take a look. Let's take a look. It's the battle report written by Chai Shao. It's on top."

Li Shimin said hoarsely.

Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and others looked at each other and quickly walked to the desk. Sure enough, there was a letter on it.

They unfolded it carefully and all rushed forward.

But in the next breath, their bodies froze completely, and their breathing suddenly stopped.

The Tai Chi Palace, which had been a little chaotic just now because of them, fell silent again, like a cemetery, so silent that you could hear a needle drop.

this.…

this! ! !

The crowd stared at the exploding information and slowly raised their heads. You looked at me and I looked at you.

They all pursed their lips, and their mouths were all dry at once.

How can it be!

how is this possible! !

How can it be! ! !

to be frank,

They thought about countless ways to attack the Turks, and also thought about how to fight the Turks.

However, none of them thought that the Turks would pay such a price and be so vulnerable?

Tens of thousands of people were killed!

Fifteen thousand people were captured!

The Turks are about to collapse!

The grassland changes hands!

Dayan, how on earth did they do this.

One month, this was only one month, and Dayan had achieved it. They, the Tang Dynasty, could not even imagine a victory. They had always thought that if the Tang Dynasty could just stabilize the Turks and stop the Turks from going south, it would be the most effective way. Good results.

Counterattack on the grassland is absolutely impossible!

It is even more impossible for Datang to achieve such results! !

Dayan had to pay a total of more than 10,000 casualties, but he did it! !

And if Datang wanted to do it, how many people would die? unimaginable! It’s really completely unimaginable!

This is great right now….

Emperor Dayan, this is directly destroying the roots of Turks!

I'm a darling!

Emperor Dayan, this is too cruel.

Gudong….

Everyone swallowed hard.

They slowly walked to Li Shimin.

He didn't say anything, he just sat on the ground silently.

The letter is placed among everyone.

Stupid, completely stupid! (End of chapter)
