Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's too time!"

Chapter 291 Youzhou is in danger!

Everyone: "..."

guard:"???"

what's going on?Why did His Majesty say it was too late?

After Li Shimin blurted out, he was stunned for a while, realizing that something was wrong.

Wouldn't that be like saying, Dang Xiangqiang fought well in Youzhou?

He coughed, skipped the matter, and urgently ordered all the officials to be summoned.

"There is still such a thing?!"

After learning of this urgent battle report, all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were shocked.

In particular, the generals such as Cheng Yaojin were particularly angry: "It's really outrageous! Tuoba Chici is too bold!"

It's just... why did the remnants of Party Xiang Qiang choose to attack Youzhou?

Before the "[-]" even before the lottery appeared, Dang Xiangqiang had been beaten by the imperial court, but it was only due to the shortage of military funds at that time, so it could not be eradicated.

Looking at it now, it really leaves a curse!

"I'm in trouble now..." Li Jing's expression darkened, "I probably know why Tuoba Chici chose to attack Youzhou."

"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes fixed, "Aiqing might as well speak and listen."

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, the current Tuoba Chici is a dying beast that is being forced into a hurry, so what will he do? Of course, he will do everything possible to make a comeback!"

"And a comeback requires capital and a lot of military spending. Therefore, Youzhou, which was suffering from external and internal troubles a few months ago, has become Tuoba Chici's best target!"

Li Shimin is also a great general, and he immediately understood when he heard it.

"What you mean is that Tuoba Chici has learned that Youzhou's tax revenue is amazing through some channel, so of course he can't let go of such a rich area, especially the report that can be obtained by capturing a Youzhou. , it's better than taking several states!"

Originally, the monthly tax report of the imperial court was not something confidential, but anyone with the slightest means could easily inquire about it.

Naturally, in the eyes of Tuoba Chici who learned about this, Youzhou is the best big fat sheep!

After all, the wealth of Youzhou is only a matter of the past few months. That is to say, only the economy has developed, and things such as military power have remained at the original level. This military power cannot be improved in a few months.

In addition, the nomadic peoples of Youzhou bordering the north have scattered a part of their troops to defend the border, so it is of course even more difficult to fight back against attacks from within the border!

"This is terrible!"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin also began to feel that this matter was very bad.

"Although this party's attack by Xiang Qiang has given us a good excuse, we can justifiably postpone the fourth duel with Tubo, and have more time to think about countermeasures... But even so, if Youzhou is taken away, then It's not worth it!"

Fang Xuanling said anxiously on the side, this was also what Li Shimin thought before, so he subconsciously blurted out that the timing of the attack was just right.

Because in Li Shimin's subconscious, he felt that the party Xiang Qiang, who was just a remnant, was no threat to Datang, but he ignored one point - that is the opponent of Dang Xiang Qiang's remnant this time, not the entire Tang Dynasty, but only the Tang Dynasty. One of the states, Youzhou, is only!

One of the states, Youzhou, is only!

In this way, the balance of military power is completely reversed, and Youzhou is afraid that it is in danger!

"If you send troops to reinforce now, I wonder if you can catch up?"

Li Shimin's expression became solemn, and he asked Hou Junji, the minister of military affairs.

Hou Junji went out and said: "Going back to Your Majesty, Youzhou is a long way to go. Even if you travel day and night, I'm afraid it won't happen overnight."

"Even so, try to fight!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and the moment he heard this answer, an indescribable sense of fear suddenly grabbed his heart.

You know, Li Youke is still in Youzhou!

If that Tuoba Chici broke through Youzhou, captured and killed Li You to vent his anger, what would he do? !

"If that Tuoba Chici dares to hurt Yang Jie, I will smash his body into ten thousand pieces!"

Li Shimin's mind was full of such thoughts, and he didn't even realize it. He had been separated for several months, but Li You's status in his heart did not decrease but instead increased, becoming heavier and heavier...

"Your Majesty, please attack!"

Cheng Yaojin stood up and interrupted Li Shimin's contemplation.

Li Shimin thought about it, although Cheng Yaojin was a strong general, but his actions were rough. If something went wrong, it might delay the trip. What should we do then?

Immediately, Li Shimin decided: "This time, let Hou Aiqing lead the troops to support Youzhou."

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin said anxiously, "He said just now that it will take several days, and I must walk faster than him!"

Hou Junji snorted coldly: "How fast can you still fly? Whether Youzhou can hold out until the supporting army arrives, the most important thing is to see if Li You, the governor of Youzhou, can resist. Party Xiangqiang will be here!"

"Oops!"

After Hou Junji said this, Li Shimin remembered that Li You not only served as the governor of Youzhou, but also served as the governor of Youzhou, which meant that he was also in charge of the Youzhou army!

So can Li You resist Tuoba Chici?

Although Li Shimin can see from the four strategies that Li You still has 1.1 in-depth research on military law, but just like Li Chengqian, if he only has the level of military affairs on paper, he is no match for the experienced Tuoba Chici!
