Li Ke kept thinking about the Turkic invasion in Suzhou, and it was difficult to calm down in the mansion. After all, he felt that what he had done was too selfish.Therefore, every day, besides taking Chen Qi and his sworn brothers to go hunting in Xishan, or strolling in Xishi and Dongshi, he either bought a few good horses, or bought a few calligraphy and paintings. the guilt of the people.

On this day, his bicycle frame was crossing the avenues of Pingkangfang and Xingdaofang. He had just stepped into Zhuque Street and walked a few steps when he saw a soldier in orange riding a horse from Mingde Gate to Zhuque Gate. , while running wildly, shouted loudly, "Eight hundred miles in Yunzhou, urgent,..., eight hundred miles in Yunzhou, urgent"

Li Ke ordered Chen Qi to get out of the way so that the soldiers galloping on horseback could pass.Hearing him yelling, "Hurry up at [-] li in Yunzhou." He no longer had the interest to play, and yelled to Chen Qi outside the car, "Go home."

"No," Chen Qi responded.However, he heard a sense of sadness from Li Ke's words. Why is his Highness feeling sad?Could it be for Miss Bing Ning?Or for Miss Ruoyi?In his heart, Li Ke is a prince who won't sigh in business, but a prince full of confidence.So, hearing Li Ke's disharmonious sigh at this time, Chen Qi couldn't help but think of him on the issue of love for his children.

Li Ke returned to the mansion and locked himself in the study, which made everyone in the palace puzzled for a long time.

The orange-clothed soldier felt as if he had entered nowhere, and he arrived at the Suzaku Gate in an instant.The left and right prison guards guarding the Suzaku Gate heard him shout, "Hurry up at eight hundred miles in Yunzhou." They didn't stop him and let him go.

Li Shimin, who was discussing with the ministers in the Hall of Liangyi, Ye Hu Khan, the Western Turkic Commander, Zhenzhu Commander, and Li Daoli, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, came to the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess. What happened?Before he could think about it, Wang De shouted, "Your Majesty, hurry up for eight hundred miles in Yunzhou."

"Where is the person?" Li Shimin suddenly got up from the jade couch and asked.Feng Deyi, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others who were sitting here were also surprised. What happened in Yunzhou?Is it another Turkic invasion?They all turned their attention to Wang De at the same time.

"Waiting outside the hall." Wang Degong replied.

"Bring him in quickly." Li Shimin urged, dissatisfied with Wang De's actions.

Wang De walked out of the Liangyi Hall with a bow, and after a while, he saw a Yunzhou soldier in an orange uniform came to the Liangyi Hall with him and knelt down, "Report to the emperor, the number of Turkic cavalry is unknown outside the Yunzhou City. The general has sent a request for help to Dudu Zhang of Daizhou, and sent the last general eight hundred miles to urgently report to the imperial court."

"Turkic cavalry? From which tribe? How many are there?" Before Li Shimin could speak, Changsun Wuji was the first to ask.

The soldier Han glanced at Li Shimin, and said hastily, "The Turkic cavalry held Yinzha on the western slope a hundred miles outside Yunzhou City, and did not launch an attack. General Lin closed the city gate tightly for the safety of Yunzhou. Only a small number of scouts were sent to scout, and the exact number cannot be determined until the urgent report."

Seeing the soldier in front of him finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand, "Get down!" Then he said to the crowd, "What do you think the sudden appearance of Turks in Yunzhou means?"

"Your Majesty, the content of Yunzhou's urgent report is unknown, and the number of Turks and their commanders have not been ascertained, so it is difficult to guess." Feng Deyi is still more cautious about military affairs.

"En." Wei Zheng also nodded in agreement, "Looking at the current situation, it seems that the Turks have no intention of attacking Yunzhou, otherwise, why bother to station in the Xipo area? They usually invade Datang with surprise attacks, so the humble minister I was thinking that they must have another purpose for being so stagnant, and what they are planning is not Yunzhou."

"Well, I think so too." Du Ruhui continued Wei Zheng's words, "Yunzhou may be their feint attack point, and Chen Bing is only in Xipo to attract the eyes and attention of Daizhou Zhang Gongjin."

Other people like Changsun Wuji, Xiao and Fang Xuanling agreed with Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng's analysis, nodded slightly in agreement, and then everyone turned their attention to Li Shimin, waiting for him to make a decision.

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said to Wen Changsun Wuji, "Auxiliary machine, can you get information about Turks recently?" Changsun Wuji is in charge of Datang's intelligence system, so Li Shimin will naturally ask him.He has great trust in Changsun Wuji, so he rarely intervenes in intelligence affairs. Changsun Wuji will report to him in time if there is any new situation. to determine how to decide.

"My Majesty, it's been extremely cold in Mobei recently, and it's hard for the dark guard system to take much action. So it's been two months since I received any valuable information." Changsun Wuji said helplessly.

The winter in Mobei is very cold, the north wind howls all day and night, and the snow is flying. If you go out alone, you may be in danger of being blown away by the wind and snow.Therefore, there are often problems of delay or loss in the delivery of information.

"From this point of view, the continuous heavy snowfall in Mobei, the grass was covered, the livestock died too much, and the Turks suffered from cold and hunger, so they invaded our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "And their real purpose is to come here Datang robbed, robbed food, robbed treasure." Li Shimin said here, furious, "Jieli is too arrogant, he treats us as his granary, and he comes to rob everything he has nothing to eat and drink. Let's see how capable he is."

When Li Shimin got angry, everyone looked at each other without speaking.Only Wei Zheng was unwilling to remain silent at this time, and bluntly remonstrated, "Your Majesty, if the Turks use Yunzhou as a false attack point to attract Zhang Gongjin, maybe their surprise attack target is either Daizhou or Suzhou. From my point of view, eight hundred miles hastened to It takes five to six days for the capital city. According to this time difference, the Turkic cavalry at this time may have already invaded Suzhou or Daizhou, and brought the finances back to Yinshan. Therefore, the current plan is to do a good job of defending the border states. In terms of work, the Turks can no longer take advantage of it, and the people who have been looted by the Turks must be properly accommodated.”

Wei Zheng's remonstrance was like a heavy blow to Li Shimin's heart. He was offended by Turk's arrogance just now, and now he calmed down and thought about it, and felt that Wei Zheng's words made sense.And everyone also admired Wei Zheng's courage.When Li Shimin was angry, they would not speak up, and only dared to state their thoughts after the anger disappeared.But Wei Zheng is different, as long as he thinks it is right, no matter whether Li Shimin is angry or happy, he will say it right.

"Xuanling, let Shangshu Province draw up an edict, with Li Jing as the general manager of the marching road, in charge of Lingzhou governor Xue Wanche, Huazhou governor Chai Shao, and Fengzhou governor Cheng Zhijie. It is still waiting for the governor Zhang Gongjin to do a good job of defending against the Turkic invasion."

"Yes" Fang Xuanling bowed to accept the order, and saw that Cen Wenwen had already handed the drafted edict to Li Shimin.

"I don't need to look at it, you all have a look, if there is no major problem, you can send it to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will send it directly to the border." Li Shimin said bluntly.

The edict procedure of the Tang Dynasty was decreed by the emperor, drafted by the Minister of the Ministry of Education, reviewed by the Ministry of Education, and then issued by the Ministry of the Ministry of Education one by one for implementation.Therefore, even though Li Shimin made a decree, he still needs to go through this procedure, and it needs to be reviewed by the provinces before it can be issued.

Gao Shilian, a servant under the door, glanced at the edict and handed it to Feng Deyi. Feng Deyi glanced at it and said it was meaningless, so the edict was issued.

"As for how to resettle the common people, we will discuss it after we have detailed battle reports!" Li Shimin seemed a little tired in his words, "The household department can prepare supplies in advance and make emergency preparations."

"The minister understands" Feng Deyi is the servant of Shangshu, in charge of the household department, and he bows to accept the order.

"Well, you all go down!" Li Shimin knew that Yunzhou urgently reported that all provinces should take precautions, so he didn't say much, "Western Turkic Commander Yehu Khan's marriage proposal will be put aside for the time being, and wait until the war in Yunzhou It’s not too late to discuss it.”

"Nuo" everyone bowed and left the Hall of Liangyi.

"Leave the auxiliary machine," Li Shimin said when Changsun Wuji was about to walk to the door.

As soon as Changsun Wuji's foot stepped over the threshold, he heard Li Shimin's words, and abruptly took his foot back.
