I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 140 There is a war in Youzhou, and there is a rebellion in Xue Yantuo’s tribe

"Haha."

"Boy, you are so confident, do you dare to make a bet with us?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and immediately became interested.

"May I ask how your majesty wants to bet?"

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment and then asked.

"Since you are so sure that there will be war in Youzhou, it was Tiele's Xue Yantuo tribe who started it."

"Then we conclude that there will be no war."

"If you are right, we will let you continue to command the troops outside, and we will grant you the right to directly command the army under your command, without the supervision of the feudal king, and to take orders directly from us."

"If you are wrong, then stay in Chang'an City and take up the post of Minister of War."

"The time limit is one month."

"How? Do you dare?"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Does your Majesty take what he says seriously?"

Li Zheng immediately became interested.

Being familiar with history, he was naturally very sure that the Xue Yantuo tribe among the Tiele tribes had previously belonged to DTZ. Not long after DTZ was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, a rebellion broke out, and it was not until it was wiped out that it became completely honest.

"What we say is true to our word."

Li Shimin smiled proudly.

"Then Chen agrees to this bet."

Li Zheng agreed directly without any hesitation.

"Okay, boy, don't regret it now."

"Just prepare to stay in Chang'an City. When the prince comes back, we will give you another surprise."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, looking very happy. It seemed that he felt that he was sure to win.

But as he laughed.

Wang Hao, the leader of the bad guys, walked into the side hall with an anxious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, something happened."

Wang Hao knelt directly on the ground with a serious expression.

"What's the matter?"

"Did Li Yuan, King of Lujiang, cause trouble again in Yangzhou?"

"This bastard can't rest for a while. When the prince arrives in Yangzhou, we will punish him well and take him back to Chang'an. Let's teach him a lesson."

Li Shimin frowned with a stern expression.

"Your Majesty, this matter does not involve the King of Lujiang in Yangzhou."

"It's the northeastern border. Something happened in Youzhou."

Wang Hao said immediately.

"Northeast? Youzhou?"

Li Shimin was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Zheng.

"What could happen to Youzhou?"

Then Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

"The Xue Yantuo tribe of Tiele tribes rebelled and killed the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty. They also raised troops to invade the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty and killed many people. The combined troops of the Xue and Yantuo tribes exceeded 100,000. , Now the Youzhou border generals are organizing a defense, but the number of troops is only more than 20,000, and it is obvious that they cannot resist for long. "

"Urgent report from the border, please make a quick decision and send troops for reinforcements."

Wang Hao said in a solemn tone.

"what?"

"Is the Xue Yantuo tribe really rebelling?"

"You're still killing the people of Tang Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was furious at first, and then completely stunned.

because.

This is in line with what Li Zheng just said. There will be chaos and war in Youzhou, and there will also be Xue Yantuo tribe who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and is being reorganized.

"Li Zheng, are you still a human?"

"I even expected this!"

Wang De, who had been listening, was also stunned.

When he first made the bet, he was still thinking that Li Zheng would definitely lose. He didn't think that Li Zheng could win over the wily Li Shimin.

But now.

The bet was just made.

In less than a dozen breaths, Wang Hao unexpectedly brought an emergency report from Northeast Youzhou.

If Li Zheng hadn't been in the hall all the time, Wang De would have even suspected that Li Zheng and Wang Hao had discussed it.

"This news came from the emergency report just now. Have you told Li Zheng?"

Li Shimin came back to his senses and looked at Wang Hao in disbelief and asked.

"I just received the urgent report from the Ministry of War and reported it to Your Majesty. It is impossible for me to meet General Li."

Wang Hao raised his head with a confused expression.

They didn't seem to understand why Li Shimin asked this question.

Li Zheng on the side, although he didn't show anything, had a hint of joy in his eyes. He won this bet.

"I originally thought about taking a gamble within a month, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Li Zheng smiled secretly in his heart.

"Go and call King Wu."

"Hurry."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Wang Hao.

"I accept the decree."

Wang Hao bowed and immediately retreated.

Only then did Li Shimin come to his senses and looked at Li Zheng with some amusement.

"Come on, you win, don't hold it in."

"We know you're happy now."

Li Shimin said to Li Zheng very unhappy.

In this bet with his son, he was originally confident that he would win, but he lost it just like that, and the bet did not last more than a few dozen breaths, which made Li Shimin feel frustrated.

So this also made him suspect that Wang Hao informed Li Zheng about the situation in Youzhou first.

"His Majesty."

"This time, I can go to Youzhou to take office with peace of mind."

Li Zheng bowed to Li Shimin.

"Go! Go! Go."

"We let you stay in Chang'an City for leisure, you brat don't appreciate it."

Li Shimin waved his hands in anger.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to admit defeat."

"You can't default on your debt."

Li Zheng could see that Li Shimin was not really magical, and he immediately said with a smile.

"Who said we should default on our debt?"

"Tell us, how did you know that Xue Yantuo's tribe was going to rebel?"

"There's no trace of this."

Li Shimin asked very puzzledly.

"It's very simple."

Li Zheng raised his head with a confident look on his face and was about to speak.

"and many more."

"You can talk about it after the third child comes."

"He is the King of Wu. I have appointed him as the governor of Youzhou to guard Youzhou. You will be with him from now on."

Li Shimin raised his hand and asked Li Zheng to stop talking.

"Yes."

Li Zheng didn't say much.

Soon.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the side hall of Daming Palace.

Wang Hao brought Wu King Li Ke to the side hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Highness King Wu will bring you here."

Wang Hao bowed.

After King Wu entered the palace, he kowtowed directly to Li Shimin:

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

"Okay, everyone, get up."

Li Shimin waved his hand casually, with a majestic and indifferent look on his face.

Only the eunuch Wang De can truly understand this transformation.

When facing Li Zheng, Li Shimin was kind and gentle. Of course, the same was true when facing the prince.

But facing everyone except the two of them, Li Shimin was majestic, cold, and aloof. Even just looking at him made them feel intimidated.

Li Ke looked at Li Zheng sitting aside, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes, but he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Li Shimin and asked respectfully:

"I wonder what important matter Father has summoned?"

"Wang Hao, tell him."

Li Shimin said.

"Go back to His Highness King Wu."

"There is a war in Youzhou. Xue Yantuo's tribe rebelled, massacred our people of the Tang Dynasty, and attacked our border city of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Hao replied immediately.

"There is a rebellion in Xue Yantuo's tribe?"

"That's impossible."

"The year before last, Xue Yantuo's tribe surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has always treated their tribe well. How dare they?"

King Wu Li Ke's expression changed, but he was also very puzzled.
