Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 39 Qin Xiedao's Suggestion
Qin Qiong has been very busy recently.

As General Zuo Wuwei, he shouldered the important responsibility of defending the palace.

Now that the East Turks are about to commit crimes, he naturally knows about it.

"Xiedao, during this period of time, apart from going to Xuanwumen to be on duty, try not to run casually outside Chang'an City, just stay at home."

Accompanied by the mobilization of various soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, when Qin Xiedao returned home, it was rare to see Qin Qiong at home.

At this time, a meal of earnest teaching is almost indispensable.

"Aye, has the imperial court received news that the East Turks have invaded?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

Qin Qiong looked at her son in surprise.

However, his answer has proved Qin Xiedao's question from the side.

"Looking around, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty today is the Eastern Turkic Empire. Jieli Khan claims to use 30 troops. Even if there is moisture, it should be no problem to gather an army of more than 20 to [-].

For Datang, even if there were no changes in the past two months, it would be very difficult to deal with more than a dozen or 20 Turkic cavalry.

Not to mention that the troops that can be dispatched in Chang'an City are very limited now.It's no wonder that various soldiers and horses in the city have been mobilized very frequently these days. "

Qin Xiedao did not tell Qin Qiong that he was the one who warned Yang Gongren that the Turks would invade.

Qin Qiong is still curious about how Qin Xiedao analyzed it.

This ability seems to be stronger than himself.

"Just based on this, can you tell that the Turks are going to invade?"

Qin Qiong's question should be the most real question in his heart.

As for the situation of the Eastern Turkic Empire, many people in Chang'an City can tell something.

But few people dare to judge that they will invade based on this news.

Of course, Qin Xiedao has no way to judge.

But Qin Xiedao couldn't help but have God's perspective.

After knowing the answer, it is too simple to find a reason.

This is not a math problem, it must be calculated rigorously.

"Eastern Turks must have spies in Chang'an City, and even other countries such as Goguryeo, Silla, and Western Turks must have spies in Chang'an City.

During this period of time, there have been so many changes in the city of Chang'an. As long as the Turks are smart enough, they will know that this is the best time to invade in recent years.

In the past dynasties, when the Hu people in the north were able to take advantage of the Central Plains Dynasty, wasn't it always a time when the dynasty changed, or when the Central Plains Dynasty was in civil strife? "

Although Qin Xiedao's reason is not very convincing, it makes people unable to find a reason to refute.

"So you think Jieli Khan will lead troops to invade?"

"That's right! As early as this month, as late as next month, the Eastern Turkic army will definitely appear on the land of Tang Dynasty."

Qin Xiedao couldn't remember exactly when Jieli came to Datang with his army, but he had heard of the famous "Weishui Alliance" in the history books.

Jieli gave Li Shimin such a blow when he first came to the throne, which was a lifelong shame in Li Shimin's heart.

So when the national power of the Tang Dynasty was restored and there was turmoil among the Turkic people again, they immediately started to deal with the Turkic people

As for the Weishui alliance between the two parties, no one took it seriously.

Isn't the covenant meant to be torn up?

"Are you so sure?"

Qin Qiong looked at Qin Xiedao suspiciously.

After recognizing Qin Xiedao's son, he also sent someone to his hometown to inquire about what Qin Xiedao had experienced since he was a child.

In his opinion, Qin Xiedao shouldn't have this level of things that he can't even judge.

Could this be the so-called blue out of blue and better than blue?

But he didn't teach him these things, did he?
"I'm very sure! Aye, you should persuade His Majesty as soon as possible to seriously prepare for the upcoming attack of the Turks, so as not to be in a hurry."

"However, there are no soldiers around Chang'an City that can be mobilized. If the Turkic people really came so fast, the soldiers and horses in the distance would not have time to mobilize back. What should we do?"

Although Qin Qiong is not as proficient in the art of war as Li Jing, but as a fierce general, he still knows some art of war.

"Actually, the current soldiers and horses in Chang'an City are enough to deal with this crisis! If you mobilize another [-] or [-] soldiers and horses, you still don't have the confidence to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops, right?
This time, we just need to find a way to make Xieli retreat. "

As soon as Qin Xiedao's proposal came out, Qin Qiong's eyes lit up immediately.

The ministers and generals of the DPRK and China have also discussed how to deal with the Turks these days, but no one has thought through the problem so thoroughly.

Now that Qin Xiedao called her, Qin Qiong immediately realized that the previous discussion was in the wrong direction.

At this time, Datang did not have the strength to fight the Turks.

But Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and his ability to control the whole country of Datang was not enough.

In addition, the people are now recuperating and tired of war.

If the national power has not fully recovered and starts to fight the Turks with all their strength, let alone whether they can win at that time, even if they win, the loss will definitely be huge.

At this time, it is better to change the positioning to find a way to make the Turks retreat.

Leave time for Datang to recuperate, and time for His Majesty to completely control the court situation.

"Xieli summoned so many people to go south, it's impossible for them to retreat with just a few words from the Ministry of Rites?"

"Such a good thing, of course, is impossible! But the Turkic people took advantage of the unstable internal situation in our Tang Dynasty to do it. In fact, their internal affairs are not monolithic."

"how do I say this?"

It was originally Qin Qiong who preached there, but now the situation has completely changed.

"The position of Khan Jieli is not very correct. Many people think that the Khan of Eastern Turks should belong to the little Khan of Turkistan. Jieli, who is an uncle, took the position of Khan from his nephew.

As far as I know, Tuli still has many supporters within the East Turks, and the tribe it commands is relatively strong.We can find a way to sneak into the Turkic camp and cooperate with Turkic.

Xieli has made such a big commotion, if he gains little, he will definitely lose his prestige, this is what Tuli hopes to see. "

Although Qin Xiedao knew that even without himself, Datang would be able to get through this difficulty in the end.

But it would be better if we could work harder, reduce the loss of soldiers and horses, and pay less compensation for property.

"It's very important that you tell Weifu all the news you know about East Turks!"

Qin Qiong couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and held Qin Xiedao's hand, ready to have a candle-lit night talk.
