That night, the scouts again reported that Liu Wuzhou led a large army to the south of Dingxiang and set up camp outside the gate of Dingxiang.

The vision temporarily turned to Chang'an. Li Xiuning rushed back to Chang'an with Li Shimin's letter. As soon as he returned to Chang'an, he immediately went to pay homage to his father. Li Xiuning met his father in the study and immediately presented Li Shimin's letter and said, "Father, Emperor,

, This is the letter sent by my second brother, please let my father take a look." The old eunuch Zhao Yong immediately stepped forward and took the letter from Li Xiuning and submitted it to Li Yuan. Li Yuan opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, and read it.

Frowning slightly, he stood up and walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, pondered for a moment, and said, "What Shimin said is somewhat reasonable!" Li Xiuning was delighted and took the opportunity to say, "Father,

We went north to the Turks not to help the Liao King, but to eliminate the huge threat of the Turks for ourselves! If the Liao King was defeated this time, the Turks would definitely be in a great way. In the future, we will face a more powerful person.

The powerful Turks! This is definitely not a good thing for us!"

Li Yuan was still scared when he thought of the miserable defeat he encountered when facing the Turks not long ago. He turned around and said to Li Xiuning: "You go down first, you have to consider it for your father..." Li Xiuning was anxious, but he couldn't urge his father to be the emperor.

, so he clasped his fists and agreed and left the study.

Li Yuan sat down at the desk again, looking at his second son's handwritten letter, frowned tightly, looking hesitant. He put down the letter and asked the old eunuch Zhao Yong beside him: "Zhao Yong, you said

Should I ask the people to go north to the Turks?”

Zhao Yong glanced at Li Yuan and bowed and said, "I dare not speak nonsense about this."

Li Yuan felt that Zhao Yong seemed to be scruples, so he said, "I forgive you for being innocent! No matter what you think, it's okay to say it!"

"Yes. Since Your Majesty asks, if I don't say anything, I will be disloyal." After a pause, "Your Majesty, I think I can't agree to the invitation of His Highness King Qin and His Highness Princess!" "Oh? But why?

"I think His Highness the King of Qin and His Highness the Princess are both exaggerated! I think the Turks were defeated by the King of Liao many times. This time, I don't think the Turks can get a good chance! The snipe and clam phase decided by His Majesty

The strategy of fighting for the fisherman to benefit is a clever oneself! When they fight for both sides and take the lead, it will be the most beneficial to our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Can't Shimin see this?" Zhao Yong bowed and said: "This is not what I dared to say!" "But it's okay!"

Yes. Your Majesty, I think that His Highness, the King of Qin, may have some other thoughts when he is eager to attack at this time. If he acts according to His Majesty's intentions and is successful in the future, it is because of His Majesty's wise decision, and it has nothing to do with the King of Qin. But if

With the strong suggestion of the King of Qin, he attacked in advance, and the great achievements of defeating the Turks were all on the King of Qin...." Li Yuan frowned and did not say anything, and Zhao Yong did not dare to say anything further.

Li Yuan was in a bad mood and came to the Imperial Garden to walk. Suddenly, a cheerful laughter came from a distance. Li Yuan couldn't help but look in the sound, and saw his Concubine Yin swinging on the swing by the lake not far away.

, Seeing her slim figure swaying on the swing, she was like a fairy flying. It was really beautiful and pleasing to the eye! Li Yuan couldn't help but smile and couldn't help but walk towards Concubine Yin.

When he got closer, Yang Sheng shouted: "Concubine Yin!..."

Concubine Yin, who was swinging, realized that His Majesty had arrived nearby. She hurriedly jumped off the swing and stepped forward in a few steps. Yingying bowed: "Your Majesty!" Li Yuan helped Concubine Yin up and looked at her beautiful face.

The original worries disappeared immediately, and I couldn't help but pat her slender hands and sighed: "Seeing Concubine Yin, my annoyance seemed to have disappeared!"

Concubine Yin said in surprise: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Master of Nine Five, how can you have any trouble?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It is only because of the Lord of the Nine Five! Alas, when he was not yet emperor, he seemed much happier!"

Concubine Yin said: "If your Majesty has any troubles, you might as well tell me. I might as well give advice to you!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately told Li Shimin that he was asking for his order to attack, and finally said: "I am only worried that Shimin is more prestige, and the disputes with the prince in the future will probably never be avoided." Yin

The concubine immediately said, "I think Your Majesty cannot agree to the request of the King of Qin!" "Oh? Why?" "Your Majesty's worries are one of them, and secondly, they are for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty. What the King of Qin said is really a bit alarmist,

Think about it, since the Liao King can defeat the Turks in a row, even if he cannot win this battle, both sides will definitely be able to fight to the point of a even match! Wouldn't it be good to let them fight to lose both sides? Why do you have to attack at this time? I think

The request of the King of Qin was clearly out of selfishness. He wanted to use this to increase his prestige!" Li Yuan frowned and nodded when he saw that what his beloved concubine said was basically the same as what Zhao Yong said.

...

It is said that Li Xiuning had not waited for his father's imperial edict outside the palace, so he simply entered the palace again to ask for his father. However, this time the father actually avoided him. Only the old eunuch Zhao Yong came out and said to Li Xiuning: "Your Majesty has rested,

Please come back, Your Highness, Princess!"

Li Xiuning hurriedly asked, "Dad, how did the father and emperor answer the matter that my second brother asked?" Zhao Yong said, "After thinking carefully, your Majesty decided to implement the strategy of sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight..." Li Xiuning was shocked,

He frowned and said, "If the Turks win, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Then he clasped his fists at Zhao Yong and said, "Please also send a message to you, I want to meet my father!" Zhao Yong shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Your Majesty has decided.

If the princess is entangled, it will inevitably lead to His Majesty's thunderous anger. After hearing my advice, the princess will follow His Majesty's decision. By the way, His Majesty has sent someone to send a message to the King of Qin, and there is another decree to the princess."

As he said that, he took out an imperial edict and handed it to Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning took it and saw that she asked her to lead a 50,000 army to support Li Daozong's order.

Just when Zhang Lang was surrounded by Dingxiang, the situation in the Turkic City became even more critical. The Turkic general Xile led an army of 100,000 to surround the Turkic City and attacked day and night. After a few days, although Yelu Qingping

The city was kept safe, but there were many casualties in the army.

Early in the morning of that day, the horns of the Turks outside the city sounded loudly again. Yelu Qingping immediately climbed the city wall and looked outside the city, and suddenly saw hundreds of huge siege equipment in the middle of the Turkic army!
