Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven Eventful Autumn Northeast Discussion (Breakout No. 8)
Li Er woke up slowly with his drowsy head covering his drowsy head, and stood up to see Du Ruhui who was standing by.
"Keming, on behalf of me, I will send a letter to Hou Junji, and the bodies of the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army will be transported back to Chang'an. I, as one of them, will see them off in person."
Du Ruhui bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late at this time. General Hou's book said that it will take twenty days to transport the immortal grains. The body is unable to be transported back, so he can only endure the pain and burn it on the spot and bring back the ashes.
It is estimated that it will be completed by now and the army has already set off."
Li Er sighed and said nothing more.
"Your Majesty, half of the immortal grain was destroyed. According to our calculations, it will affect future breeding. In this way, our battle plan is probably delayed."
"Bai Fan knows the most about the matter of immortal grain, and he will discuss everything when he returns to Chang'an.
I remember Jingzhou urgently reported that the people are unstable?"
At this time, the other ministers had heard that the emperor had woken up and rushed over.
"Your Majesty, not just Jingzhou, as the news spreads, people everywhere will be angry. After all, they have been looking forward to the immortal grain for three years. The treasure that yielded a thousand kilograms acre is now burned by the enemy. Who is not sad?
If you don’t know that your opponent might be fine. Now you know that it was done by the Tubo people, and I speculate that in the near future, the whole country will set off a wave of revenge on Tubo.” Fang Xuanling reported.
Li Er pondered: "Revenge on Tubo? Humph, of course, I cannot let go of this culprit. I am ready to lead the imperial army in person!"
"No, Your Majesty, national wars are of great importance and cannot be hasty.
Besides, there are many doubts about this matter, and I believe that it needs to be carefully analyzed.
First, how could the five thousand Tubo army sneak into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty silently?
Secondly, the news is false. It is obvious that half of the immortal grain was destroyed, but why the rumors were burned all of them? It seems that someone deliberately promoted this matter and wanted to stir up the civil unrest in the Tang Dynasty. So when this troublesome situation is coming, we must act cautiously." Changsun Wuji advised.
Fang Xuanling also spoke: "The Northeast has not yet come to an end. The pharmacist had said that the Tang Dynasty was unable to fight again, and now he had just accidentally destroyed Tuyuhun. There is not yet stable, and the Northeast is still uneven.
In addition, Tubo is not an ordinary weak country, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army had fought in the early years, but our soldiers were dizzy and lost their combat power as soon as they attacked. Therefore, according to many situations, now is not the time for revenge. Please endure it and think twice."
Li Er punched the Long Case and snorted coldly: "Be patient and think twice? People have stabbed us with a knife, but I still have to endure it. I am afraid that I will be the weakest emperor in the Tang Dynasty to deceive."
"Your Majesty, I dare not, I have no intention!"
"All up, everything you say is reasonable, how can I not know? I can bear this shame, but how can we explain to the people? Do you have any countermeasures?"
Everyone looked at each other and Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, the result of our discussion is a delaying strategy. First, it is stated that half of the immortal grain was burned and half was retained for seeds. It will only extend the breeding time. Sooner or later, it can be distributed to everyone as life-saving food, so as to calm the people's hearts.
As for revenge, we first issued a letter of nationality to declare war with Tubo, but we did not raise a large army and declared no war. When Xianliang returned to Chang'an safely and recalled the Tuyuhun army, we would have a general in our hands. Let's make a long-term plan.
I believe that by then, the people's mood has calmed down slightly. Whether it is ultimately a war or a peace, there will always be an explanation."
Li Er thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes!
I ordered the vanguard army led by my third brother to hurry all the way to pick up the grain transport team. I don’t believe it. Who else can move my 100,000 army in my own home?"
At this time, the eunuch Gao quickly ran out from behind and shouted: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy, the Queen is about to give birth..."
What???
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back first, everything depends on you."
Du Ruhui looked at the emperor who was very sad and happy for a day and sighed in his heart, "It's a big deal, everything is together, and it's really not easy for His Majesty to do it."
At this time, the situation in Liaodong suddenly became tense, but it was nothing more than that because the Tang Dynasty coach Li Jing led the team to Huaiyuan Pass.
Who is Li Jing? The Tang Dynasty military god has always been unbeaten since the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Although he is now 60 years old, his passion has remained unabated. He still serves as the leader of the Tang Dynasty military generals.
If we talk about the number one military genius in the entire Tang Dynasty? Then only Emperor Li Er is the only one. After all, when he was the King of Qin, he was appointed as the leader of General Tiance, and he fought in his life to conquer half of the Tang Dynasty. He had almost no defeat and had a great record at a young age. Even Li Jing admired this.
Since Li Er ascended the throne, he no longer led troops. The position of the number one leader in the military has always been Li Jing and Li Yaoshi, and everyone has been convinced.
The famous man is known to all the barbarians. Now that he has led his troops to the city, who is not frightened? After all, Li Jing is called the God of War, and he is a great god who can be invincible if he gives him a great army of 20,000.
At this time, the 50,000 troops stationed at Huaiyuan Pass were still the Khitan and the Marine. When they saw at least 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty arrived, no one dared to fight without permission, and immediately reported to the main general outside the southern Beisha City.
In Beisha City, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda, who had been besieged for more than a month, were really depressed. The bandits outside the city did not fight or retreat, and they were trapped so hard that they could not even fly out of the city. They wanted to send a message to the Tang Dynasty, but in the past month, the scout messenger had been sent out of the city for testing dozens of times, and they were all captured alive.
The sixty thousand troops in the city are very uneasy, not because of concerns about the situation, but because of the food and grass problems in the city. Originally, Beisha City was not big, and the food and grass were only enough for 20,000 troops for half a year. Now, it’s better. The sixty thousand troops are chewed all day long. It’s been a month since the 60,000 troops. In another month, if the opponent does not need to attack the city, famine will appear in the city.
"It really doesn't work. I'll go out and fight with the other party." Cheng Yaojin shouted.
Niu Jinda hurriedly persuaded: "Old Cheng, since the other party is trying to trap us and replace us, he will not starve to death. Besides, I am not afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not know. Youzhou has been constantly doing business with us. If something happens to us, Chai Shao will definitely know first."
The two of them discussed, but saw a messenger coming in urgently: "General, the main general of the enemy outside the city is going to see you."
Notha Yanshou has been in a good mood recently. It is really a pleasure to just look at the anxious look of the enemy every day. If I hadn't replaced them with others, I really wanted to trap them for the rest of my life, so I would just keep watching them as fun.
"Nuta Longevity, what's the matter with us? Do you feel uncomfortable and want to talk to you Grandpa Cheng?"
"Hmph, the surname Cheng, don't be rampant. I don't want to ramble with you, a fool. You have good luck. The Tang Dynasty sent someone to redeem you. Now you and the surname Niu come down and follow us. We both exchange hostages."
